MONDAY EVENING,
THE MASTER KEY

installments of "The Master Key" may now be seen at the leading mov

rUm Manufacturing company It a not only possible to

The old man thought more deeply.!
He recalled bis own former years. He
himself bad broken down the Iron bar
riers of a cold world for the sake of a
woman whose Image Ruth was. He
had seen In John Dorr's eyes the grow ,
lng flame of lore. Long experience
had taught the old man that there Is
DO passion so dependable In this world
aa lore.
John Dorr loved Ruth. It needed no
monetary bond to assure his fidelity to
her Interests, and with the sudden,
■wtft. alert step of a man who bad
made hi* final decision be went oat on
the porch and called. "John, Johnl"
Within the Interior of the little house
down the bill the engineer of Thomas
Gallon 8 mine bad abandoned his blue
prints to study the letters on a little
pennant which represented his first
victory, a touchdown on the football
field within the last ten seconds of
play. He knew better than any one
that bis mission to Valle Vista was
futile. Using every resource at his
command, be could find no paying ore. !
and yet—there was the pennant, the
emblem of victory hard fought and
hard won. Should be give up now?
He beard a clear, stern call from up
the bill—"John, John!"
"I'll win out yet for Ruth's sake."
be said as be answered that Imperious
cry
Other ears beard that call, and as
John hastened down the bill he saw
Ruth's figure by the side of the bunga I
low, and as If by the opening of a
abutter be once more saw the lights of
Broadway and a table spread with
linen, two people aittlng there—his
evil geniuses.
In this complex and highly organized
dvillxation of ours no man can be as
•ured that at any moment some other
man possibly thousands of miles dls-.
tant Is not planning nn act whose por
tent would never occur to him.
At a table 1n a New York restaurant |
a man and woman were sitting with
the words "Gallon." "Dorr" and "Wll- j
kerson" on their lips.
"Harry Wilkerson has found Tom
Gallon," she said quietly. "1 wonder
what will happen?"
Her companion laughed. "Gallon? 1
had a college mate named 'Dorr.' who
is working for a man named 'Gallon
somewhere out in the mines."
The woman's dark eyes lit up. and
she seemed more strikingly handsome
as she allowed ber sudden passion to
flood her somber face with color.
"There is money In that mine, George
Crane!" she said. "But this man Dorr
—what sort of chap Is he? Vou min
lng stockbrokers usually have lnfor
mation as to all these engineers."
The slender man with the shrewd
face seated opposite her dropped his
eyes. "To tell you the truth, Mrs. Dar
nell, I never liked John Dorr."
"Neither does Harry," she put In
quickly
The stockbroker looked at his plate
a moment and tbeu pulled out his
memorandum book. "Listen. Jean," he
said in a tone she recognized as utter
ly businesslike. "Shall 1 buy 'Master
Key' stock?'
"There is a girl back there"— she
went on Intensely.
Crane looked up swiftly. He caught
a glint of the Jealousy in the woman's
eyes. For his own purpose she was
most useful, so he snapped the rubber
band around his memorandum book. '
put It back in his pocket and said with
finality. "Jean, I'll buy 'Master Key*
stock at any price!"

he had never beard before. John Dorr
strode down the hill. As he crossed the
gulch he saw the door of the bungalow
open, and Ruth appeared.
"1 thought I beard your father call."
he said awkwardly.
"He was calling you," she answered
quietly, "but be went over toward the
dump. 1 think be wants you there."
Ruth laid ber little band on John
Dorr's brawny arm "John," she said,
the swift color rising In her cheeks. "1
don't want to say anything to make
trouble, but father la worried. He
trusts you: but. you know, we haven't
recovered the lost vein."
John looked her straight In the eye.
"Leave It to me."
Her appealing hands crept up his
j arms, and for one moment sbe al
lowed him to read her soul. She made
a potent plea, directed by the Instinct
of a woman who Is loved. "John, look
! after him. He Is doing It for me."
Dorr hesitated a moment. It was
the first thing Ruth had ever asked
him. He felt that he ought to re
spond to this appeal in some most con
vindng way, but he could formulate
no phrase that would express at once
his determination to do everything In
! his power to help ber father and his
gratitude that sbe had taken blm Into
ber confidence, so be merely smiled,
wared his hand and went down the
hill toward the dump beneath the head
end of the spraddling trestle.
She called him back. "I forgot It
was lunchtlme." she said shyly.
'T mast get down to your father," he
said rather brusquely.
"Then I'll bring you both down your
, lunches to the mine." sbe said. "We
I can have a little picnic all by our
] selves."
As he went up toward the end of the
trestle Dorr observed that the engineer
running the donkey engine seemed
hardly to know his business.
"My dear fellow." be said quietly,
"you're allowing too mach slack on
your cable. It is dangerous. Those ore
cars are coming down that trestle too
fast If their brakes give way it means
j disaster!"
1 "What's the trouble?" said Gallon,
coming up with a piece of ore In his
hand.
"I was Just telling Bill Tubbs that if
he did not keep up the slack on his
j cable on those cars he would whip
them over the end of the trestle." said
I John.
He turned toward the old man and
I said In u different voice: "You called
j me. What is it that you want?"
"Look at this. John," said the older
j man. handing out the piece of ore
| '•uirt, not gold bearing quarts. I want
I to talk to you; I've got something to
say to you."
Involuntarily John looked down the
street. He saw Ruth coming, swinging
the lunch basket In her hand He re
mem ber ed ber shy appeal that ha
| would do the best be could for "The
Master Key."
"1 think we had better go into the
mine; we can talk there," he said.
"They are setting off a blast," Gallon
remarked.
Dorr looked up at the car roaring
past them overhead and said suddenly:
! "Before anything else you ought to fix
j that trestle. Some day a car will go
| over on the dump."
Gallon looked up and then glanced at
' Dorr. "1 guess you're right, John; I've
thought of that myself. Things have
kind of gone at loose ends. Now I'll
see to It tuyself with your help, be
cause I have something to say to you."
i "There comes Ruth with a basket of
; lunch," said Dorr.
"Oh, yes. When I am away from
the bouse sbe often picnics with me
here in the mine. Say, I'm going up
! on the trestle. Have another talk
j with Tubbs. He is all right, but he
has got careless. Tell him to keep up
j the slack of his cable. 1 tell you,
John, 1 have wanted to talk to you
for a long time, but first I'm going to
look after that cable, because I cas
see you are right and we might have

"THK SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS"
Occasionally some play strikes a
note that rings out clear and true in
the midst of the commonplace and
impresses its auditor with the thought
that it was written not for gain, not
for pastime, but because some man
had something to say to other nien
and he took this means of expression.
"The Shepherd of the Hills, ' Harold
Bell Wright's dramatization of his
novel of the same name, is this kind
of a play. Mr. Wright had felt within
his soul the peace and beauty of the
hills and he wished to set down their
meaning before him. He made a play
that in plot is compelling, one that
never fails in sincerity. The people
who move in it are so human that the
auditor will pick them out for like
and dislike as if he really knows them.
"The Shepherd of the Hills" will be
the attraction at the Majestic this
afternoon and evening. The enormous
popularity of the Harold Bell Wright
novels Indicates that the engagement
of this, his first play, will prove a
