DID you know that Isabel Howell ana
, Lyttleton Gould 'are to be marrleil next
SaJturday by Doctor Keelinc at St. Teter's
Church In Gcrmantown.7 Enslsn Gould
- has been stationed In Pensa'cola, Fla., and
ho and his bride will go there for the
winter. Isabel Is a peach of a girl and has
fine character. I heard her talking to a
number of girls last year urging them to
Join the league to do everything you do
In the very best way you can. She looked
mighty pretty and you felt she certainly
wa.s doing her best. And that was example
right then a.nd there, was It not?
i Lyitlctom is In the U. S. X. flying corps
and Has been In the service since the be
ginning of the war. He Is a son of Dr.
Elgin Gould, of New York, and from all
I hear Is a great favorite. Esther Howell
Xoland, Isabel's sister, will bo matron of
honor at the wedding. And she Is simply
beautiful, so It -will be some stunning look
ing bridal party. '
rpiIE second night of opera was quite as
brilliant as the first. Caruso always
draws a crowd, and then last night there
was tho added excitement of seeing his wife,
as she was expected to como on. She was
Dorothy Benjamin, of New York, you
know, and caused no end .of excitement
Jast summer by marrjlng the famous
tenor. Sho has a number of friends In this
lty, for she attended school In one of the
BUburbs for a few years. She Is cry good
looking, don't you think? But looks very
ouns". (
Sho was In a box with Mr. and Mrs.
(Iillda last night and wore a stunning
3Wn of black velvet, with a red rose as
the only touch of color. Her short fluffy
brown hair was caught back very simply
and 'becomingly with a rhtnestone pin. Sho
seemed to enjoy tho opera thoroughly and
applauded her husband most enthusias
tically, for which you can't blimejier tor
a minute. There were some very hand
some gowns thero last evening, and have
you noticed how popular red Is? There
were red gowns of all shades from bril
liant carmine to dull rose, In velvet, satin
and not. I thought Frances Sulllvair looked
particularly well In turquoise blue satin,
with a huge white feather fan. Mrs.
Sullivan wore light blue, which with a
dog collar of diamonds. Mrs. Herbert L.
Clark, who was In the Sulllvans box, was
gowned In bluck net. Mrs. John W. Con
verse wore black lace, and she looked per
fectly stunning. She was In Mrs. Alexan
der Brlnton Coxo's box. Major Jeter Hor
ton, i. S. M. C, and Mrs. liorton enter
tained In a box. General and Mrs. Waller
were in tho audience. Mrs. Waller In gar
net chiffon, with a cloak of that good-looking
Japanese silk black with big figures
Inbrlsht colois and trimmed with gray
ur.
Everybody seemed to be in a holiday
mood) perhaps because there were a num
ber of uniforms thero with overseas stripes
on the alceves.
THE Bertram Lippincott box was attrac
tive. Sarah Blddle entertained in It
and had Helen Tower, whoso engagement
to Major Itoberlson, of Nashville, Tcnn.,
lf announced last week; Mrs. Itadcllffe
Cheston, Jr., and Jean Bullitt among her
guests. Sarah Is certainly one stunning
looking person. She is so sweet and un
affected and beautiful, and the most per

kiddles you ever saw.

Conductor, Ucnnaio Papl
Presenting one of the world's most modern
operas at the beginning of the season last
week, the Metropolitan Opeia Company last
night gave the lovers of opera In Philadelphia
one of the oldest works of Its kind that can
still fa'lily claim to hold Its own. The opera
was Donizetti's "L'Elisir d'Amore," In which
Caruso made his first gieat success at La
Scala, In Milan, and In which he has ever
since been unrivaled.
The story of the opeia Is simple Adlna. Is
loved by Xemorlno, who Is poor, and sho Is
tempestuously wooed by Sergeant Belcore
and promises to marry him. Xemorlno, In
despair, goes to Doctor Dulcamara for a love
potion which turns out to be wjne. The charm
docsnot work and he applies to the doctor for
more, but has not tho money to buy It. To
get the money he enlists with the sergeant.
Tho doctor tells Adlna. of his devotion, and
she bujs his release from the army and con
fesses her love for him. Then Nemoiino's
uncle dies, leaving him a large fortune and
all ends happily. By a combination of cli-
cumstnnces all is ascribed to the magic elivlr
It Is claimed by many modernists that
Donizetti's operas arc antiquated, but cer
tainly a work which offers a medium for the
presentation of such singing as was heard
last evening is destined even jet to a life as
long as there aic singers capable of doing
justice to the parts. Unlike many of th"
operas of Its period, it Is not written around
a single part, but calls for the height of vo
calization In four pf the five characters or
the cast nnd for a consummate degree of
acting In three of them. In every case the
requirements of the opera were fully met.
Of course, Caruso was Hie bright particular
star of the cast, and descncdly so. The music
Is the kind In which he Is suptcme, and he
exhibited In a sunerlatlve dcerce every nhase
for thd vocal art, besides that marvelous tone
quality which he alone possesses. Ills sing
ing of the romance "Una Furtlva Lagrima"
In the last act was one of those" wonderful
bits of singing In which Bjmpathetic' interpre
tation and perfect vocalization are combined
Into such a rendition as It Is not given often
to hoar. In this number his singing reached
its highest point, although through the entire
opera It was as near perfection as seems pos
sible for the human voice to attain.
Caruso is at his best In comedy and the
part of Xemorlno calls not only for singing
of the first ran!,, but also for acting of a
high grade. In it Caruso isjn his clement,
and he understands the character of Xemo
rlno as probably no other singer (certainly
none but an Italian) understands it. He
kept the audience amused from start to
finish by his exceedingly clever presentation
of the part, with its amusing action and Its
characteristically Italian peasant buffoonery.
The part suits him amazingly, both vocally
and histrionically, and adding to this his
marvelous voice It Is little wonder that ho
gave one of the best performances ho has
ever shown here
But Caruso, great as he Is, did not carry
away all the honors. Filcda TIeinpel as
Adlna was splendid both In voice and In
acting, the colorature duels with Xemorlno
and Dulcamara show Ing perfect control of
tone ahd great freedom, of vocalization She
did her best' singing of the evening In the
last-named of these duets and received many
iccalls. Slgnor De Luca gave a flno presen
tation of the swashbuckling Sergeant Bel
core The part does not fit his vo'ce so well,
perhaps, as some others, and this was par
ticularly the cape In the first act; but his
duet with Xemorlno in the second act was
an especially lino bit of work.
Slgnor Dldur was capital as the quack
Doctor Dulcamara, a part difficult to sing
and still harder to act. Tils buffo song when
ho makes his fir3t appearance on the Blage
and his duets with Xemorlno and Adlna wero
the parts In which he excelled vocally, the
last being a very difficult piece of cnuncia.
t!on. As nn actor ho has never eurpassed
In Philadelphia his work of last evening.
Leonora Sparkes gave graceful presenta
tion of the part of Glannetta, and Slgnor Papl
as conductor brought out the brightness
and humor ot the score. ,
As an opera "L'Elisir d'Amore" IsHone of
the best of Its period. It has no "mission"
and teaches no lesson. It Is jubt u charming
comedy which requires good singers and
good actors to present acceplably, leaving
out of the question such n superlative 'per
formance as was heard last evening. The
orchestration generally Is characteristic ot
Its time, nearly all string, except for the
scoring of Xcmorlno's aria In the t-econd act,
which shows fqr that day an amazingly Ad
vanced piece of writing for the wood winds.'
Also the occasional melodic use of the French
born (very unusual In 1832) and the bassoon
solo Introducing the Romance In the last act,
which, sounds In instrumentation far more
like lieyerbecr than Donizetti, Indicate that
Jhe composer was doubtless" a "modern" In
his day. At tho same time tho Idea Is always
to slioa oft the voice and tho orchestra Is
eveiuborainated to that end. The possi
bilities ot the orchestra In opora was a de
velopment of many jears later. Neverthe
less, the revival was a delightful experiment
and gave Philadelphia a chance to hear
Caruso In ono of his greatest roles and with
the ablest support that the Metropolitan af

JUDGE OWL, held fast In the unlnai.e ot
Miss Snowj Owl, -tiugglcd violently to
get free, hut she held hi r with a grip he
could not break. Then Judge Owl tried strat
egy. He began to recite one of his poems
'6 beautiful, beautiful Snowy Owl,
I think that jou are a wonderful fowl;
But when ou embrace inc so vci.v tight
Vou hide all jour filrncts fiom my bight"
Judge Owl surel was a wiie old owl, for
lie had picked out jurt the light method to
avc himself Jrom being hugged to death.
Miss Snowy Owl was so much flattered that
she Instantly let him go and began to pose
so that he could admlie her And she really
was a very pretty bird, with her white feath
ers daintily marked with black spots and
bats, But there was a looU in her eje that
showed thai she might hao a temper, and
thcio were dangcrous-looMng black claws
peeking out from among tho halrllke feathers
that covered her feet.
"Vou are verj, verj handsome," said Judge
Owl gallantly, but Pcggv noticed that as he
bald it he edged further aw ay from Mls3
Snowj Owl.
'Oh, .vou fiattcrci '" hooted Miss Snowy
Owl In her harsh voice "Don t you think
I'd make a fine wife?'
"you suiely would foi pome nice, brave
oung owl Bf jour own age " As Judge Owl
said this he winked lowaid I'cggy and Billy
and they had to giggle, fiiA!iss S'nowv Owl
looked as though she had seen many a long
Arctic winter.
"Of course I am a great deal younger than
vou," smirked Miss Snou Owl, preening her
feathers, "but then I'd rather have a huband
who has romo sense. I'll take you"
"But this climate is sure to dlsagrco with
vou," argued Judge Owl ' It gets very hot
In summer."
"Then we'll go noith. I like to travel, any-,
way," answcicd Miss Snowy Owl in a tone'
that seemed to settle the matter. "Where's
jour hollow treo?"
Judge Owl poked fearfully up at the open
ing to his nest and at that minute there camo
a screech from It that wa like a locomotive
whistle.
"What's that'.'" demanded Miss Snowy Owl,
ruflllng up her feathers.
"One ot the nelghbois, piomptly icplicd
Ljudge Owl. "You'll not like her"
"Then 111 drive her nwaj. declared Miss
Snowv Owl. "Show ino j'our nes "
Judgn Owl paused a moment, then thought
of a way out of his dilemma.
"Come on," he hooted, and led the way
to the entrance. He stepped politely back
as he removed the stick in front of It and
let MIse Snowy Owl enter (list Then he
snapped the stick quickly across the entrance
and started to fly away, his quavering hoots
turning to loud chuckles as ho thought how
he fooled his two would-be wives.
But Judgo Owl was not out or rouble yctv
From the tree above him there "sounded a
wall, so loud and uncannj that Peggy
grabbed Billy Belgium In quick fright. Ho
was i-tartled, too, but as the wulL, camo a
second time ho laughed.
"It's Miss Screech Owl." he whispered.
"She's also after Judge Owl."
Miss Screech Owl halted Judge Owl boforo
he could get away.
"Here I am, Judgo Owl, to marry jou," she
quavered plaintively.
"I'm sorry, but 1 have a very important
engagement far, far away from here," de.
clared Judge Owl promptlj'.
"I'll go with you," quavered Miss Screech
Owl. "Wo will make It a honejmooii trip."
"Xo, It is a buslncra engagement and I'm
in a hurry. Good night!"
Now Miss Screech Owl appeared to get
very much ruffled.
"Say, you old fraud, what are you trying
( do escape from mo? Ive come here to
niarry jou and piarry you I will If I like
jour nest, AVliere is it?"(
Judgo Owl didn't pauso a minute. He
turned back with Miss Screech Owl and led
the way to tho holo In his hollow tree.
vHcro It is," ho cried, "do In quick.'
lie pulled tho stick aside, and as Miss
Screech Owl popped within he snapped It
back into place. From Inside the tree there
now arose an awful clatter, squawking,
screeching and hooting.
"Good night, ladles," hooted Judge Owl
wrlth a chuckle, and off he flew as fast aB he
could.
But he didn't start quick enough, for tho
stick broke In two and threo angry lady owls,
snapping and tfai h g at each other, tumbled
cut and chased after him.

CHAPTER XIII
ViiJ Achilla in His Tent
OUTSIDE darkness had fallen. 1 had a
vague suspicion that the house might be
watched, but I found the Bcndler-Strasse,
quite undisturbed It ran Its quiet, aris
tocratic length to the tangle of bare urancnea
marking the Tlergaitcn-Strasse with not so
much as a dog to strike terror Into the heait
of the amateur spj-. Even in the Tlergartcn
Strasse, where the Jewish millionaires live,
there was little trafilc and few people about,
and I felt singularly unromantic as I walked
briskly along the clean pavements toward
Unter den Linden
Once more the oilginal object of my
journey Into tleimanj stood cleat ly before me.
An extraordinary series of adventures had
deflected me from inv course, but never from
my purpose. I realized that I should never
feel happy In m mind again if I left Ger
many without being assured as to my
brother's fate. And now I was on the thresh
old cither of a great discovery or of an
ov erw helming disappointment.
For the stiect caled In den Zelten was my
next objective I knew I might be on tho
wrong track altogether In my Interpretation
of what l was pleased to term In my mind
tho message from Francis If I had read
It falsely if, perhaps, It were not from him
at all then all the hopes I had built on this
mad daslfinto tho enemj's country would
collapse like a house of cards Thcn.-indecd,
1 should b In a sorrj- pass
But mv luck was In, I felt Hitherto, I
had triumphed over all dllllcullic'. I wouiu
trust In nij' destiny to the last
I had taken the precaution of turning up
my overcoat collar and of pulling my hat
well down over my ejes, but no ono troubled
me I reflected that only Clubfoot and
Schmal wero In a position to recognize me
and that, If I steered clear of places like
hotels and lestaurants and railway stations,
where criminals alwajs seem to be caught.
1 might continue to enjoy comparative Im-
munitj-. But the trouble was the passport
question That reminded me.
T must get rid of Semlln's passport As f
walked along 1 tore it Into tiny pieces, drop
ping each fragment at a good Interval from
tho othei.
It cost me something to do it foi a pass
port is always useful to flash in the eyes
ot the Ignorant Hut this passport was dan
gerous. It might denounce me to a man who
would not otherwise recognize me.
I had some difficulty in finding In den
Kellcn. 1 had to ask tfio vvay, once of a
postman and once of a wounded "Soldier who
was limping along with crutches. Flnallj,
I found it, a Tiarrowlsh street running oft
a corner ot the gicat square In front of the
Reichstag. Xo. J was the second house on
the right.
I had no plan. Nevertheless, I walked
boldly upstairs. There was but one flat on
each floor. At the third story I halted,
rather out ot breath, In front of a door with
a small brass plate Inscribed with the name
"Eugene Kore." I rang the bell boldlj-.
An elderlv manservant opened the dooi
"13 Herr Eugene Kore at home?" I asked.
The man looked at ine susplcioush.
"Has the gentleman an appointment1? ' he
said.
"Xo," T replied
"Then tho Herr will not receive the gentle
man," came the answer, and tho man made
as though to close the door.
I had an inspiration.
"A moment!" I cried, pnd I added the
word "Adillles" In a low voice.
The servant opened tho floor wide to me
"Why didn't jou saj that at once?' he said.
'Please step In. I will seo If the Herr can
iccelve jou."
He led the wav through a hall into a sit
ting room and left me there. The place w.i
a perfect museum of art treasures, old
Dutch and Italian musters on the walls, some
bplendld Floicntlne chests, a flno old drcjser
loaded with ancient pewter. On a mantel
shelf was an exttaoidlnary colleetlon of old
Kejs, each with its label "Key of the
fortress of Spandau, 171.1." "Key of the
Postern Gate ot the Tasha's Palace at Bel
grade. 1810," "Hoube Key from Xuicmberg,
16B7," were some of the descriptions I read.
Then a Voice behind me bald:
"Ah! jou admire my little treasures!'
Turning, I saw a short, stout man, of a
marked Jewish appearance, with a bald head,
a fat nose, little b"ady eyes and a large
waist.
"Eugene Kore!" ho Introduced h'mself
with a bow. '
"Me.vcr!" I replied, in the German fashion
"Anil what can we do for Herr
Meyer? ' he asked In oily tones, pausing just
long enough before he pronounced tho naniH
1 gave, to let mo see that ho believed It to
be a pseudouj in. I
"I -believe jou know a friend of mine,
whoso address I am anious to find," I sa'd
"Ah" sighed tho Utile Jew, "a man of
affairs' like mjseir meets bo many people,
that he mav he pardoned What did
jou say his name was, this, friend ot yours?"
I thought I would try th'o cfTcct of the
name "Eielicnhol?" upon this enigmatic
creature.
"Elchcnholf " Eichcnholz? ' Kore repeat
ed. "I seem to- Know tho name It
seems familiar now let me see again ;
Eichcnholz? Elchenhol?"
While lie was speaking he unlocked one of
tho oak cabinets nnd a safe came to view.
Opening this, he brought out a ledger and
ran his flngei down the names Then ho
shut tho book, replaced It, locked the safo
and the cabinet, and turned to me again.
"Vcs," he said, "I know the name,"
Ills reticence was disconcerting.
"Can you tell nio where I can find him?'
I asked.
"Yes," was the reply.
I was getting a trlfio nettled.
'Well, vvhcie7" I queried.
"This is all veiy well, young sii," said
the Jew. "You come in hero from nowhere,
voi! introduce yourself as Meyer: jou ask
mo 'Who?' and 'What?' and 'Where?'
questions that, mark you, in my business,
may have valuable answers We private in
aulrv -agents must live, my dear sir, we
must oat and drink like other men, and
these .arc hard times, very hard times. I
will ask jou a question if I may. Meyer.'
Who is Meyer.' Everybody In this countiy
Is called Meier"
1 smiled at imi """" "l .. . - -"This
Eichcnholz," I said, ' s
sup-
noslne he were my broiner.
"He might congratulate himself,"
Korc
said, blinking his little lizard oyes
"And he sent me word to call and see
vou to find out Ids whereabouts. You seom
to ;iko rldalcs. Herr Kore I will read
you one !"
And I read him the messago from Fran
cl, all but the first two lines.
The little Jew beamed with delight.
Mil', this is bright!" Hie cried, "oi, oi,
ni hut he Is smart, this Herr Eichenholz!
Who'd have thought of that? Brilliant, brll-
Hunt '"
"As you say, Herr Kore, Inquiry agents
must live, and I am qulto prepared to pay
for the Information I require "
i .,n.,i out mv portfo-llo as I spoke.
"The matter is quite simple," Kore re
plied "It Is already arranged, The charge
la five hundred marks My client said to
me last time I saw him, -Kore,' he said,
if one should como asking news of me
vou will gle him tho word and he will pay
vou five hundred marks."
1 -The word?" I said
"The word." he repeated.
You must take Dutch money," I said
Here you are work it out In gulden
. . . and I'll pay!"
He manipulated a stump of pencil on a
writing block and I paid him his money.
Then he said:
"Boonekamp 1 ,
Boonekamp?" I echoed stupidly.
"That's the word," the little Jew chuckled,
laughing at my dumfounded exresslon,
"and, If you want to know, I understand it
.. uttiB as you do."
"But MOpneKamp, repeated, 'is
It a man's name, a place 7 It sounds Dutch.
Hvypu no $:, oome, I'm rMr,
f"Hut Boonekamp," I repeated. 'is

"What? Perhaps what 7 I exclaimed Im
patiently "Possibly "
"Out with It, man'" I ciied. "and eay
what jou mean '
"Perhaps, if I could render to the gentle
man tho servlco I rendered to his brother, I
might be able to throw light "
"What servlco did jou render to my broth
el ? I demanded hastllj-. "I'm In the dark "
"Has the gentleman no little difficulty per
haps? about his military service, about
his papers" Tho gentleman I3 young and
strong has l'e been to the front? Was
life liksome there" Did he ever long for the
sweets of home life" Did he never envy those
who have been medically 1 ejected? The rich
mens sons, perhaps, with clever fathers who
know how to get what they want?"
His little ejes bored into mine like gimlets.
1 began lo undeistand
Vnd If I had" '
Then all old Koie can say is that the
gentleman has come to the right shop, as his
giaclous in other did. How can wo serve the
gentleman now ? What nre his requirements?
Jt Is a difficult a dangerous business. It
costs moiicj-, much nioncj-, but it can be ar-
aiiged it can bo arranged."
'Hut If vou do for me what jou did for
mv bi other," I said, "r don't see how that
helps to expliln this word, this clue to' his
address' '
My dear 4fci, 1 am as much in the dark
as jou are jouisclf about the significance
of this wmd But I can tell jou this: jour
brother, thanks to mv Intervention, found
himself placed in a situation in which he
might well have como across this
word
"Well?" said iinpaticntlv
' Well. If wo obliged the gentleman as wo
obliged his brother, tho gentleman might bo
taken wheie his brother was taken The gen
tleman is joung and smart, he might per
haps find a clue.
"Slop talking riddles, for Heaven's sake"
I ciied in evaspciation, 'and answer mv
question1! plainly. First, what did jou do for
my brother?" -" '
' Your biothei had deserted from the
front that is the most dlfilcult class of
business we have to deal with wc procured
him a permls de sejour for fifteen dajs nnd
a post In a safe place wheio no Inquiries
would be made after him"
"And then" I cried, trembling with curl
osm The Jew shiugged his shoulders, waving
Ins hinds to and fro in the air
Then lie disappeared. 1 saw him a tew
dajs befoie he went, and ho gave me the
Instructions I have repeated to ou for an
bodj who should come asking for him."
"But dldn t he tell jou where he was go
ing'" "He dldn 1 even tell me lie was going,
Heir He just vanished "
"When was this?" -
'Somewhere about the first week hi July
it vvas the week of the bad news
from France "
'J he message was dated July I, I remem
beied. I have a good set of Swedish papers.'
the Jew continued, "very respectable timber
merchant with those one could live in
the best hotels and no one saj' a word. Or
Hungarian papers, a party rejected medi
cally jvery safe those, but perhaps
