ir Arcnrdlng to tho mnndnle of that In
visible empire, the critics' union, reviews
of operatic performances ehould begin with
n reference to the last prohentntlon of tho
work, dlgrcHfl Into n hl-tnry of Its composi
tion nnd end up with nn account of the
occasion Itself. There nre times when this
process seems trifling nnd dry, when n
largo enthusiasm steps In nnd demandi that
"now" shall have precedence over "then."
So ono reviewer thought Inst night.
For on the stage of the Metropolitan
thero was enacted end sung an Italian
open that ouxht to have a place beeldo
"Tosca" In point of brilliant orchetinI color,
tensity of situation and dramatic value for
singers who can act It trp.ns Incredible
that "Andrea rhenler" shouM hao been
In the moth-balls for the last twenty yeais.
so far as this city Is ronreined. Yet It Is
so It needed, therefore, the enterprise of
Mr. ItRbluoff. always icaily to do tho In
teresting thing Instead of the necessarily
lucrative, to glvo It here. He gave It In
fine. In thrilling stI. with Zenatello nnd
Raklanoff nnd Vlllanl three artljtt of dia
matic as well an ocaI merit and with a
general sense of thentrle values that height
ened and Illuminated tho emotional points
of tho story Such was tho stage business
In Ihoe scenes v here tho hend riodiless
of Reaion held mob-sway nnd whero tho
lovers went gladly to the gulllotlnx And
with It all won- hraid the rich meb dies, the
ingenious Italian counterpoint, on which
Puccini today thrives, but. paradoxically,
fresher and "thlikcj" In the older com
poser's way of doing It.
So It does seem strange that a generation
t:iat applauds Its hands sore nt the aria of
the stars from "Tosca," the duets In "Ho
hfmo" nnd "Mniinn Lescaut," should not
feel at once tho grip of Ingratlatlon that
"rhenler" makes on the puis? and the Intel
ligence. For eory act there Is the "big
number" for tenor, soprano nnd baritone,
and there are pages nnd pages of highly
dramatic writing Interspersed like the first
act chorus of French lotus-eaters, mlnuet
"Ing away the time while the fnr-oft roar of
the Involution sounds unnoticed It Is this
nicely felt lelat on between situation and Its
expression In muiic that makes the opera
so warm with life, drilto Its age ; to sym
pathetic, so real It Is surprisingly real
throughout, for the librettist has dlsiegarded
some of the moit cherished conventions.
His villain is actually a good fellow!
To Chetiler. poet, reformer, "distracted
slave of love." go the most Impressive of
the arias, and It I., to the nttlstlc credit
of tho Ronton Company that its members
nre artists enough never to snatch at the
limelight. nccr to illsturb f.ie placement ot
character nnd episode. Thus Mr. Zenatello.
In bis best voice, was but one, though the
mol tragic. In the procession of eighteenth
century llguK-s When his great moments
cnir.e, as In Hip denunciation of the aristo
crats, In the trial scene and on the way
to the tumbrils, lm shook his ! .ience with
acting that was touching and .staging that
was sincere and always In the picture
It was true, too, of Mr. Raklanoff and his
credible and human portrait of the com
munist head nnd. except once or twice when
her volco seemed not quite adequate, of
Mme. Vlllanl.
Hut It was not this excellence of manage
ment nnd production that gave the night Its
chief savor and beauty. It was, first, tho
resurrected score, too long asleep, nnd next
tho Innnte quality of tho story Through
the surge and sweep of the music, with tho
red echoes of the "Carmagnole," the dark
hilarity of the "Marseillaise" and the recur
ring theme of a poet's hopeless Ideal came
thoughts of tho times when the streets of
Paris were scarlet, though not with wine;
of Sidney Carton and "Tho Vengennce," and
tho click of women's knitting needles ns the
powder on patrician heads mingled with the
sawdust of the ominous baskets, So, like
nnclent balms, music nnd story keep for us
tho past of horror, of loo and of heroism.

HEART OF THE SUNSET
By REX BEACH
CopyrlpM, ttie. bi arpcr J Brothtrs
CIIAI'Tnit XXVII (Contlnned)
tiKJl'AAj, ho doesn't look like much of a
VV priest, but probably ho will do. As for
me. I don't believe In such things. Churches
are nil very well for Ignorant people, but
wo Mexicans nre too Intelligent; we nre
making nn end of them."
The priest was a small, whlto-halred man
with a gentle, almost tmiid face, and nt the
moment when he appeared before Alalro he
was In anything but a happy frame of mind.
Ho had undergone, he told her, a tenlble ex
perience. His name was O'Mnllcy He had
come from Monclova, whence tho Rebels
had banished him under threat of death.
ITe had seen his church despoiled of its
valuable.", his Fchool closed; he himself hnd
manage' to escnpo only by a miracle.
PurliiB fls flight toward tho bonier he hnd
ruffer -d every indignity, and Anally 1-on-gorlo
had Intercepted him nnil brought him
here, virtually In chains.
"What a situation! What chaos'" he la
mented "The land Is overrun with bandits;
there Is no law, no authority, no faith;
religion is, made a mockery. The men are
becoming Infidels and atheists, and In many
plnces they will not allow us to gUe comfort
even to their women."
"Is It as bad as that?"
Father O'Mnlley shook bis head sadly.
"You've no Idea. What do you think of
a peoplo who forbid tho mention of God's
name In their schools" That is what tho
revolutionists are doing Candeleria claims
that the churches are the property of the
State. He confiscates them, and he charges
admission Ho has banished nil exwpt it
e.,. r,f iia nrlests. and has hlmmcfully
persecuted our Sisters of Mercy. Oh, tho
outrages! Mexico Is, today, the blackest
spot on the map of Christendom." His
voice broke. "That Is the freedom, the
liberty, the democracy, for which they are
lighting. That Is tho new Mexico. And
the Federals are not a hit better. This
Iongorlo, for Instance, this wolf he
brings mo here, as his prisoner, to solemn
ize an unholy marriage! Ho treats me
like a dog. Last night I slept In a filthy
"Oh! I'm sorry," Alalro exclaimed. "Rut
I'm half crazed with my own troubles.
You must come Into the house; the best
I havo Is yours. You shull be as much my
guest ns I can make you, and perhaps you
will help me to escape." . .
"K&capo?" The little man emlled mourn
fully "You are watched and guarded, and
so am I. Kven If yu Bot away from here,
what then7 You can't imagine tho con
dition of the country." .
"I won't marry him!" Alalre cried, with a
shudder. "I won't I"
"He can't very well force you to do so.
Hut remember, these are war times; the
man Is a fiend, and ho puts no restraint
upon his desires. If he Is madly bent on
having you, how can you prevent It? In
normal times he would not dare Injure ono
so prominent as you, but now" Father
O'Malley lifted his hands, "I only wonder
that he suggests a lawful marriage. Sup
pose you refuse? Will ho not sacrlflco
you to his passions? Ho has done worse
things." After a moment's! consideration
ho said: "Of course It Is posslblo that I
misjudge him Anyhow, If you desire me
to do so I will refuse to perform tho cere
mony. Rut I'm afraid it will Just mean
ruin for both of us."
"Surely he wouldn't harm you?"
The Father shrugged. "What am I?
An obscure priest. Many of my brothers
are hurled In Mexico. However, I hhall
do as you wish."
Aa the day wore on Alalre realized even
more clearly the fact that she wns I.on
gorlo's prisoner. His men, In spite of their
recent debauch, kept a very good watch
over her, and It was plain that thoy would
obey his orders, no matter how extreme.
It ociiirred to her finally that he was stay
ing away purposely, In order to glvo her a
fuller appreciation of her position so that
sho might beat her wings against the cage
until exhausted.
Afternoon came, then evening, nnd still
Ingorio did not return. Father O'Malley
could give scant comfort; Dolores was a
posltUo trial.
Half distracted. Alalre roamed through
the house, au.iltlng her captor's coming,
steeling herself for their final battle. Hut
tho delay was trying; sho longed for tho
crisis to come, that this Intolerable sus
pense might be ended. At such nn hour her
thoughts naturally turned to Dave Law. and
she found herself yearning for him with
a yearning utterly new. Ills love had sup
ported her through those miserable days at
iJii Palmas. hut now It was a torturo;
she culled bis mi mo wildly, passionately.
Ho knew her wherenbouts nnd her peril
why did ho not come? Then, moro calmly,
shu asked herself what he. or what any one,
could do for her How could she look for
succor when two nations were nt war?
Night had come before she finally gave
up nnd acknowledged tho hopelessness of
her situation Sho had fought bravely,
but with darkness her fears grew blacker
She was on tho verge of her first break
down when. In the early dusk outside, sho
heard voices and tho stninping of horses'
hoofs. Tho nounds wero mullled by the
heavy wooden shutters sho had taken pains
to closo nnd bar. but they told her that
I.ongorlo had returned. Slnco It was futile
to deny him entrance, sho waited where
she wns. Old Pancho's volco sounded out
sldo; then thero camo a knock upon tho
door of tho room In which sho stood.
"Come In," sho said, tensely.
Tho lieutenant thrust his head In nnd
removing his hat. announced, "Thore Is
some ono here to see General I.ongorlo on
Important business Ho says you will do "
"I?"
"Yes. He says ho Is ono of us "
Pancho wns implied aside, the door was
flung back, and a man strode swiftly Into
thn lamplight. Ho paused, blinking ns If
momentarily blinded, and Alalre clutched
nt the nearest chair for support A roar
ing began In her ears; she felt herself
sway forward as If the strength had left
her knees. Sho heard Dave's volco faintly;
he was saying-
"Take care of my horse. Feed and water
her well. Understand? When General Lon
gorlo cornea tell him I am waiting here."
As If In a dream, Alalre saw the Mexl
onn gf out, closlne; the door behind him.
Then sho saw Dave come toward her,
heard him speak her name, felt his arms
around her
Alalre did not swoon, but she never could
remember very distinctly those first few
moments
Scaicely knowing what she did, she found
herself clinging to her lover, laughing,
weeping, feeling him over with shaking
hands that would not bo convinced of his
reality. She wns nwaro of his kisses upon
her lips, her eyes, her hair; he wns saying
something which she could not understand
because of that roaring In her ears
"You heard ma calling," sho told htm nt
last "Oh. I was so frightened !" Sho
clung closer to him After n time sho dis
covered that she was mechanically nodding
her head at the questions he wns putting to
her, but hnd only the nguest idea what
they were Ry nnd by she began to tell him
about I.ongorlo, speaking in a sort of hyp
note murmur, ns If her words Issued nt
his mental suggestion And nil the time

It was more Dave's tono than his words
that roused Alulre to nn appreciation of
what he said
"Are you alone?" she naked. In vague
dismay "Then what nre you going to do?"
'I don't know yet My plans ended here."
'Dave' You rode In Just to llnd me!

"Yes And to get him." Alalre saw his

bis room and. l, 'dazed t"S com"
prehension, acknowledged his swift Intro
ductlon to Dave. Alalre was keenly n Uv"e
and vibrant with purpose ! ljlore
too came running, nnd while the men wero
exchanging greetings her mistress mur
mured something In her ear. then hastened
her departure with a quick push. Turning
upon tho others, Alalro explained:
"i;yo sent for some of the women, and
they'll bo hero In a minute. Father this
man has como for me. Ho loves me. ' Will
you marry us, before Longorlo nrrlves'"
"Alalre!" Dave exclaimed
She stilled him with a gesture. "Oulck'
Will you?" 'U1 "'
Father O'Malley was hewlldered. "I
don't understand." he expostulated.
"Nor I," echoed Dave
"You don't need lo understand I know
what I'm doing. I've thought of a wny to
save us all "
Through Dave's mind flashed the memory
of that, thing which had haunted him and
mada his life a nightmare. An IncofcetMit
refusal was upon hla llpa, but Alalre'a fe
besought him : It was ahlnlng- with a atranta
new ecstasy, and he could not brlnr him
self to deny her. Of what her plan con
fisted he had only the dimmest Idea, but
he nssured himself that It could by na
possibility succeed. After all, what did It
matter? he asked himself. They wra
trapped, Thla might serve, somehow, to
cheat Longorlo, and Alalre would be hla
w Ife.
"Very well," he stammered, weakly.
"What nro you thinking of?"
"I haven't thought It all out yet. but"
At that moment Dolores returned, bring
Ing with her the three black-haired, black
shawled house servants, bundling them
through the door and ranging them atone
the wall.
Father O'Matley'n face was puckered : ha
said, hesitatingly. "My dear madam, thli
isn't regular; you are not Catholics, Hpw
can I bless you?"
"You can marry us legally, Just the aame,
can't you?" Alalre was breathing rapidly,
and somo part of her eagerness begnn to
thrill her hearers.
"Oh, yes,but
"Then marry us. And make haste, pleaset
Please!"
Refore tho eyes of the four wondering
women Father O'Malley married them. It
seemed to Alalre that he would never reach
the end, although. In fact, he stumbled
through tho ceremony swiftly. Alalre
clipped hla Inst words short by crying;
"Tell theso people so that they'll under
stand what It all means. Tell them to re
member they have seen a marriage by the
Church."
The priest did aa he was directed, and
his nudtenco signified their understanding.
Then Dolores led them out
CHAPTUn XXVIII
TUB MAN OF DESTINY
"VTOW, then, I'll explain," raid Alalra.
iN turning to the men, "Longorlo de
clares that he won't havo me except ns hla
wife, and I think he means It He Is amat
Ingly egotistical. He haa tremendous am
bitions He thinks This war Is his great
opportunity, nnd he moans to bo President
ho'a sure of It. Ho loves me, but he lovea
himself better, I'm sure. Now, don't you
soe7 He'll havo to choose one or tho other."
Father O'Malley did not appear to appre
ciate tho full force of this reasoning, "My
dear," ho said, gravely, "ho can make you
a widow again. In such times as these men
nre savages."
"Oh, but that's not all." Alalre turned
to her newly made husband. "They let you
In. and they'll let you out again If you go
quickly, beforo It's known what we've
done."
Dave stared at her In bewilderment. "IT
I go nnd leave you?" He seemed doubt
ful of her sanity.
"Yes." When ha laughed shortly, Alalre
cried: "Dave, you must! Don't you see
what I'm driving at? If he can't marry me.
If ho finds you're gono and ho can't lay
hands on you, what can ho do but let me
go? Dave, dear, for my sake, for the sake
of us both "
"You're excited," ho told her, and drew
her to himself gently.
"PleaBe ! I'leaso !" she Implored,
"You don't know that man," said Father
O'Malley. with conviction.
Hut Alalre Insisted, halt hysterically
now: "I do; that's Just It. I do know him.
He Is planning tho greatest things for him
self, his head Is In the clouds, and he
daren't do the things he used to do. Thot's
why I called in those women us witnesses.
Ho can't put them out of the way. With
Davo gone I'll be safe. He can't Ignore our
marriage. Rut otherwise There's no tell
ing what ho may do. Why, he'll kill you,
Dave, as he killed Kd." She upturned a
faco eloquent with pleading. "Won't you
do this for me?"
