WHY Is It, do you suppose, that mii-o as a person falls, oven If he or nlio Is really hurt, every one who witnesses the fall, even tho "fallee," laughs and laughs uproariously. Such a perform ance as I witnessed at a recent show, and It was particularly funny, for tho person chiefly concerned was fright fully excited over having been paired off with a decided social leader for the ; theatre party which they were both at tending. The man was young, not a Phlladelphlan, but one who has been kindly taken to by our very snobbiest Phlladelphlans and who has made him elf an agrecablo guest on many occa sions. The party was given for debutantes, and the mother of tho deb had invited Mrs. W to go with her. As they arrived at tho theatre It was a little lato and 'the curtain had risen. The hostess i looked about and decided that the young man at first referred to would be the proper one to take charge of her special aoclal lioness, that ho had such charming manners and was so at his case on all occasions and, too, would probably bo very 'glad to mako a good Impression on one to whose house and parties it would be considered an honor to bo invited. Well, she called him to her and said: "M , will you see Mrs. W tc her seat in the box while I usher In the ' rest of the party?" M. bowed with pleasure and led the way for Mrs. W . Alas! on the way Into tho box there were three steps and M , so eager was he to be polite to tho lady In question, did not ask tho aid of an usher, but went ahead to show tho way. Show the way he certainly did, for he took those three steps at one awful header, and before ho had time to pick himself up Mrs. W , with a somer- saultic effect, landed on his head, while (shades of Mrs. Grundry!) tho entire bunch of debutantes and men laughed till their breath was gone and, they could hardly stand up. Finally all was straightened, but, though very much upset, Mrs. W was excruciatingly polite and the young man profuse in his apologies. I'm afraid a slight damper was put upon tho party, for all subsided into awed silence, broken now and again by a frightened giggle, and the poor hostess found It very difficult to collect her thoughts. I heard her mur mur afterward to a sympathetic friend: "It was awful, but I am thankful they did make a noiso when they fell, as otherwise the whole party would havo fallen on top of them, and, my dear, the play would have been broken up!"

Act IV Uefofo the west front ot Canterbury Cathedral There are Just two Important Indictments of tho new De Kovcn opera to be made In dictments which columns of halr-spllttlng analysis will not wipe out nor columns of pollto plfllc ntono for. "The Canterbury Pilgrims," musically, Is neither new nor Important. Furthermore, tho place for It (If the tolerant reader will concede that It belongs any place) la tho musical comedy theatre, not the opera house. Some account of tho brightly promising collaborative effort of two cleer men, Mcssro. De Kovcn nnd Mnckaye, was re corded In yesterday's Evenino Lnnar.n. That the expressed hope for a merry, licen tious, melodious work, freed from the shackles of conventional opera, i.is unwar ranted Is no fault of the reviewer. He sim ply barked up tho wrong treo and found its leaves withered. For Mr, Do Koven has really ben a dis appointment. Away back In the days of Henry Clay Barnabce and the Bostonlans "Robin Hood" fell on nur ears with a de licious and atmospheric accent It was music distinctly hidebound, but It was filled with time and a sort of quiet romance, and It was muslelanly. "Tho Pilgrims" Is mu slelanlv. too. hut where, oh where. Is tho gesture ot Individuality? Years hae passed and tho composer has let tho world go by. The outcome a flat score, sounding as old tlmcy ns last senson's cafe hits and thin to a degree of vapidity. A great pother has been raised In New York as to whether Mr. Gattl "demeaned" himself In producing It. The only lmpoi tant point is. was It. as a comic opera, worth producing? Some factors mako It seem so several choruses that louse tho senses all the more because preceding staves of Puccinl-and-mllk havo dulled tliem; a couple of "pretty" love themes, Innocuous but lacking color. Ingenious contrapuntal writing. Measure theso agreeable things with tho Innate febrlllty of "The Pilgrims." The decision Is unanimous, or should be. At this point a Joke might bo inserted, gibing at tho singers' Inability to make the English woids Intelligible. It would bo un fair nnd foolish. Not "opera In English," but "comic opera," Is the question. Tho production, capital in every way. In cluded flrst-rato vocallsm, decently illusory scenery, somo neat acting.' Mme. Obcr's Allsoun was the only portrait that breathed of the times. Mr. Bodanzky's conducting surely didn't. He read the score languidly, tepidly. The light touch Is not for this eminent and subjective artist. B. D. CULP-BOS RECITAL IS MELODIC TREAT Great Song Interpreter and Fine Pian ist Give Double Delight to Audience 1.

"Staendchen" "Der Hchmlcd ' That is the program which Julia Culp, the great interpicter ot lledcr, and tho supcr-accompanlst, Coenraad V. Bos. sang and played in the Academy of Music yea teiday afternoon before a house that filled the parquet and that was fairly If not over whelmingly largo In other places. Some artistic partnerships aro so fit, so perfect In balance and correspondence, that criti cism is unnecessary, if not Indeed impu dent So one feels about tho art of Mme. Culp' and the moro subdued but no less pregnant art of Mr. Bos. They are ma ture minds which have passed all tho frip peries ot music. They hao reached that stage of emotional depth and cerebral strength that makes what they do unfor gettable. To hear them is to praise them. Perhaps tho concisest Indication of their merits is to give them tho'1 adjective "unlabored." About their singing nnd play ing there hangs not tho slightest smell ot tho student's lamp, yet all is ordered, pre else, carefully considered. Spontaneity is their watchword, but they nro spontaneous, not ragEcd or hysterical. Mme. Culp's voice was In tho finest ot fettle, her dramatic sense high pitched nnd felicitous. No single Item on the well selected program escaped the penetration of her Insight or the beauty of her tone. Some times when she sings sho suggests a bell and a trumpet that have come to life. Her phrasing is exquisitely ndapted to mood and composer. Her diction, bo It English or German, Is without stain. Sho gavo a new meaning to the Schubert and Brahms songs and the less vital numbers came clean cut ag gems or ivory from her throat. Two splendid things, which ono does not recall to have heard here before, were the delicate, wistful songs by the violinist, cjnilding. Mr. Bos's lyric Interludes wero enjoyed as much as his masterly accom paniments. B. D.

"I knew him well a metal worker, of tho best." "That's so now I remember," assented Stem. "What was his totem?" "A circle, with a bird's head within." "Let it be placed here, then." Their best stonecutter roughly hewed tho matk In a great boulder, which was set on top of the pile Then, nothing more remaining to do, the exploring party once more pushed foiwnrd But Allan could sense that now even Its diminished strength had greatly lessened. Dlscouingement and forebodings of certain death weio working among tho men. He knew ho could not hold them more than a few hours longer at the outside. During tho noonday halt and rest, under a low cliff, ho made a charweg. saying: "O my people, barring the motter of the pati larch's death, I have always spoken truth' to J.OU. Now I speak tiuth. This shall he the last day. Ye havo been brave and strong, uncomplaining In great trials, and obedient. I shall reward yo greatly. But I nm wise. I will not drive yo too far. Tho end Is at hand. "Hither I seo the cleft mountain by to morrow night or wo return. I shall push no farther forward than In tho march of ono day and a half. AftPr that 1 shall cither havo tho flying boat or wo shall go quickly to our safo homo at Settlement Cliffs. "He of good heart, therefore. The re turn will bo much easier and shorter. We can follow the plctuio of the way that I havo made Despair not. All shall be well. I havo spoken." They greeted his promlso with mur murs of approbation, but made no answer, for body and soul wore grievously tried. When he gavo tho order to advance again, however, they buckled Into the toll with a good heart. Their morale, no plainly saw, had been markedly improved by his few words. And, now filled with hot, new hope, once moro ho led the painful march, his blnocu lais every few minutes swinging round tho far horizon in a vain attempt to sight tho longed-for heights. But other events wero destined and were wiitten on tho book of fate. For, ns they topped a high rldgo about 5 o'clock that afternoon dragging themselves along, parched nnd spent, lather than marching Allan mndo a halt for careful observations from his vantago post. The men sank down, eager to bo prone even for a few minutes on tho ash-covered soil, to hldo their eyes and pant Ilka hard run hunting dogs. Allan himself felt hardly tho strength to remain upright ; but ho forced himself 10 stand there, nnd with a tremendous effort held the glass true as It slowly scoured me skyline to north and west. All at onco he uttered a choking cry. The glass shook In his wasted hands. His eyes, staring, refused their oflice, and a strange purple blur bcemed to blot the horizon from his sight. With the binoculars he started at a point N. N. Wm where ho had thought to see the Incredlblo apparition; but now nothing appeared. "Hallucinations, so Boon?' ha muttered, rubbing his eyes. "Come, come, buck up! This won't do at all 1" And again ho searched tho placo with his powerful lenses. "My Ood I but I do see them and they're rrai -they're moving, too!" ho exclaimed. "No hallucination, no mirage! They'ro there ! But but what what can this mean? Who can they be?" Tiny nnd clear against tho dazzling back ground of tho nfternoon sky ho had per ceived a long lino of human figures trekking to southeast over tho distant hill top, al THE FIRST FREE LUNCH . .. S- , ., ?ij..''.& jm. is forearmed "i most directly toward tho point wheie his exhausted troop now lay Inert and panting. ciiArrnit xx.vu Hie Meeting of the llundi CONVINCED though Stern now was of tho reality of tho amazing sight he had just witnessed through hid binoculars, yet for a long moment he remained silent and staring, utterly at a loss for any rational explanation of the remaikable apparition. Kxhausted In body and confused In mind, ho could hit upon no answer to the riddle. Might these be somo detached and belated mcmbeis of the Horde? No; for their fig ures and their gait, as he now for tho third time studied them through the glass, wero unmistakably human. But If not Anthropoids, then what? Ene mies? Totentlal friends? Some new and strange race, until now undiscovered? A score of possible explanations struggled In his mind, only to bo rejected. But this was now no tlmo for questions, nnalysls or thought. For, even as ho looked, the end ot the line came to view, then vanished do-.'n the blackened hillside. Invisible, now that they no longer stood 'silhouetted against tho sky line, the strange company had disappeared as though swal lowed up by the earth. Yet Stern well knew that they wero coming almost direct ly down upon nlm and his little party. Already thero was pressing need for swift decision. What should ho do? Advance to meet these strangers? Bisk all on a mere chance? Or turn, retreat and hide? Or ambush them and kill? Ho found himself, for the moment, un able to mako up his mind. Yet, should a pinch arise and tho last contingency be come necessary, ho felt a powerful advan tage. He was posltivo Ills little band, armed as they were, could easily wipe out this column. But, after all, must he fight? His questions all unsettled and his mind confused from tho terrible exhaustions of the march, ho waited. Ho surveyed the neighborhood with a view to possible battle. On his left roso a rldgo that swung to northward between tho advancing column and his own position. On his right an arroyo or gully, choked with fallen tree trunks and burned forest wreckage, de scended In an easterly direction toward a rather deep valley. In this gjlly ho saw was ample hiding place for his whole force. "Men !" ho addressed them. "It Is strange to tell, but thero be others who come against us there !" Ho pointed at the far crest of the sawlike highlands, where now he thought to seo a hazy, floating pall of dust. "Until we know their purposo and their temper we must have care. We must hide ourselves and wait. Come, then, quickly! And prepare your guns against the need of battlo !" His words aroused and heartened his ex hausted men. The prospect even of war was welcome anything in place of this unending trek through the burned wilder ness. Zangamon cried: "Where bo thoso that come, O Kromno? And what manner of men ?" "Yonder." Indicated Stern. "I know not who. save that they bo men. Walt but a little and you shall know. Now to the ravine !" All got up, and with more energy than they had shown for some time, they trailed to the gully. Hero they yero soon well Intrenched, with weapons ready. Stern now felt confident of tho situation, how ever it might turn. Now already the dust of the advancing column had grown unmistakably visible, drifting downwind In a thin haze that ever advanced moro and more to tho south east, camo nearer always, and roso higher in their view.

The babies wero now old enough to take care of them selves. Tho nest which .she had so care fully made of grass and lined with soft down finm hei own Warm body to keep her pieclous ducklings warm was no longer necessaiy The children were stiong, sturdy little creatures, out In all kinds of wind, and weather, now ptaylng now helping Father Duck find food nnd always trying to do everything "just like Daddy. Father Duck selected a warm sheltered place with high grasses on every side which would shelter them a great patt of the year, as he knew winter would soon -come The liver was only a few steps itw.iy and our feathered friends, being wild ducks, were not only line swimmers, but could fly when they wished. "This Is ically a beautiful, place," said Teter Puck, "only I don't like dodging those blzz-buzz-boats. I havo found a new plamate alieady." "Never mind those blzz-hiizz-boats-you Just mind your parents." laughed Father Duck, and then ailed, "who havo you found In this short time?" "I was looking around for a good place tJ salt my lm.it," began Peter, "and had jr,.t started to swim along and guide it to the bank, when I heard something go-'cher-plunk '' and down Into the water went u great, big, fat Frog. He actually dived down rlgla under me and pulled my toe and came up to a big rock on the other sido and laughed at me I was pretty mad for a minute, but he looked so funny and good naturcd, that I had to laugh, too. Then I asked his name and where ho camo from and ho replied; " 'My name is Big Jim, and I am the po liceman for all the Frogs. I watch over them nnd give them the danger signals. I am also swimming master to all the oung Frogs and Tadpoles "'How did :,ou lll.o my diving?"' "Well, I didn't think much of It at flrst, I said to him, "and I don't see yet why you had to pull my toe, but I guess you are a pretty good kind of a fellow, and ns we aro going to be neighbors, I think we had better bo friends." Then I told him my name, and ho Introduced me to a lot of Bull-frogs and told me where I could find plenty of line fish nnd bugs to eat. "I promised that wo would never hurt a Tadpole or any of the little Frogs, and I agreed to tell him when I saw any of the boys coming around hunting frogs' legs. "So wo are very good friends." "That's fine," said Father Duck, getting up. "I must have met Jim's father, for he Invited us all to a concert to bo given at the Big Bock at 6 o'clock tonight, and I promised that wo would all go." "Well, well, to think that after all these years, wo have settled In a musical neigh borhood," laughed Mother Duck. "Noth ing could give mo more pleasure." " think perhaps we aro needed here." said Father Duck, "for I had to do n lit tle surgical work this morning, which I always enjoy. "Out In the woods I was huntlng'for dry leaves when I saw a fine Crow fluttering along as If In pain. So I asked htm what was the matter, and found that ho had caught his foot In a miserable wire trap, which had hurt him badly. I took a long pleco of meadow-grass and bound It up for him nnd stopped the bleeding, so that he was able to fly home. "A more grateful fellow I have never seen, and ho and his good wlfo are com ing to call very soon. They will Introduce us to nil the birds nnd little animals who stay up here all winter, und wo aro going to havo somo fine times." "Havo they any children," asked Baby June. "Yes. Indeed, they have five boys, and you must pr&-:tlco your flying, so you can get up to see them, for they live In the top of a very high tree," answered Father Duck. "I like swimming better than flying," put In Buzz. "Maybe we can teach them to swim." "No, they would not like that," said Father Duck, "but It Is a good thing to havo all kinds of friends if they are kind and true." Then ho added, "I think there Is going to bo a storm."
