I! AT ENGLISH'S Cast Selected from Choral Society of Indianapolis Conservatory of Music. LITTA GRIMM MAKES HIT Amonp the comic oporas none is more picturesque than Robert Plaquette's "Chimes of Normandy," ami no matter how familiar one may be with its libretto anl score, thtre is always much in it to enjoy. ThU well-known musical work, with its romantic story, its humorous dialogue and its tuneful melodies, has stood the test of many years and it continues to be a classic in its particular field. It is often chosen for amateur production, for the reason that it offers many excellent opportunities for a number of good soloists and a big chorus. The piece has been sung several times of late in Indianapolis by local talent, and was given another creditable presentation last night-this time by the Choral Society of the Indianapolis Conservatory of Music. The opera was eunq at English's Opera House before a large and friendly audience that gave many evidences of thorough appreciation of the production. Under the able conductorshln of Kdgar M. Cawley the orchestral and vocal music received satiifactory interpretation, while Harry Porter, who has had a good deal of professional experience, managed the stage in a very skillful manner. The orchestra, made up altogether of music students from the Conservatory, played the charming score In praiseworthy style, and the large chorus of over sixty voices showed the effects of careful training. It was good to see and hear a chorus In keeping with the demands of the opera, and much of the credit for the success of the entertainment must be attributed to the conscittious ensemble singers. Judged from an amateur standard, the performance was an exceptionally even one. Of course, the acting was not always what It should havo been, for singers who aro unaccustomed to appearing in dramatic performances often find It difficult to act their parts as well as they sing them. However, the action of the piece was not allowed to drag and the mure important incidents of the story were brought out effectively. T1.3 vocal honors were fairly yrnn by Lltta Grimm, who rendered her share of the scoro in an authoritative fashIon that did much toward reassuring some of her associates who were a trifle nervous at first. Miss Grimm's voice Is a beautiful contralto and It is well adapted to the lighter class of music. She sings naturally and, with more schooling as an actress, would be well equipped for the professional stage, for her personality is attractive and her movements graceful. Mtes Dorathea Smith, after recovering from her uneasiness at the opening of the opera (the hard task of singing the lirst polo number fell to her lot), gave a pretty portrayal of Serpolette. "the good-for-nothing," singing the part In a sweet soprano. Christian Fredeiick Martens did the best work among the male members of the cast with a very capable rendition of the role of the Marquis of Cornville. His fine barlton voice was heard to much advantage throughout the evening and he was good dramatically, too. The role of the fisherman Jean was sung by J. YV. Bussey, who possesses a sunny tenor voice that is very ? leasing. Upon the shoulders of Harry 'orter fell the burden of the dramatic portion of the piece, and Mr. Porter, as usual, proved equal to all demand. The character of Gaspard is not the kind in which this favorite local comedian is seen at his best, but he played it well, nevertheless, and won n:any rounds of applause from time to time. The smaller parts were adequately tilled by Miss Mary C. Trees, Miss Nell Butler, Miss Blanche C. Fa Re, Miss Jean Wright, 8. N. Gold, Otto Krau?, Raymond Ayers and Herman Bahe. The costumes were handsome and in good taste and the stage settings wtxe all that could have been desired. SPRINKLING CONTRACTS AWARDED BY BOARD Different Firms Will Do'the Work in the Six Districts of the City. Contracts for the city sprinkling were awarded by the Board of Tublic Works at yesterday's meeting, and in each one of the six districts Into which the city was divided for the work the contract was awarded to the lowest bidder. The successful contractors are A. Thomas & Co., for the first district; II. T. Noltlng, for the second district; Kennington Bros., for the third and sixth districts; 11. W. Miller, for th fourth district; Reeder & Newby, for the fifth district. The contract price, in each case, is lower than last year. H. W. Miller, holding the contract for Brightwood, was given notice that he would have to pay for water at the rate of 8 cents per thousand feet.

FIVE RECIPES ARE USED There were 400 women at the German House yesterday to hear Mrs. Armstrong tell how to prepare stuffed and baked trout. cheese sauce, cauliflower, fritters, tomato salad and fruit omelet. In frying fritters of any kind great care should be taken, said Mrs. Armstrong, not to fry more than enough for one serving, as they become greasy and heavy and have not a fresh crisp taste. Mrs. Armstrong uses cottolene instead of lard ln cooking. as she thinks it much more healthful. To-day's leeson will include broiled chicken, raisin brown bread, asparagus tips. in cases, and orange Bavarian cream. The recipes used yesterday were: üiuuiu anu iKiAiu jiiuui cricv.i a iuuoi narrow fish, wash and wipe dry. Stuff and sew up and skewer into shape. Rub over with butter, salt and pepper, cut gashes in sides of fish and insert narrow strips of fat salt pork. Dredge with Hour and bake in a rather hot oven about an hour, basting frequently. Remove skewers when done and serve with sauce. DressingMix one cup cracker crumbs, one-third cup melted butter, one teaspoon each of chopped onion and parsley, capers and pickles. Season with salt and pepper and moisten slightly with warm water. Cheese Sauce To one pint of highly-sea soned cream sauce add two-thirds of a cup of grated cheese and a weil-beaten egg. Serve as soon as cheese is melted. Shrimp or oysters may be substituted for the cheese If desired. Cauliflower Fritters Reat the yolks of two eggs well and add half a cup of water.

PORTABLE BATH CABINET Boon for Traveling Man and Other Clean Citizens. -iiere is a. scneme inai possesses some absolutely new and novel features and a great deal of merit into the bargain. It is a portable bath cabinet, or, more strictly speaking, a bath tub, for It is not intended for the uses to whlh.the common steaming THE BATH CABINET. cabinets are put. but is actually des.gned to permit the owner to take a full and com plete bath. It is about as clearly explained ln the accompanying illustration as it could be ln any other way. It consists of a rubber casing probably two feet in, diameter at its base and adapted to be drawn up over the body, with ample room on all sides, and fastened about the neck. Sufficient water for the bath having first been poured into the base of the apparatus, the bather disrobes and steps into the thing. He then draws the rubber- sheathing up about him and proceeds with his ablution. The hands are free within the cabinet and he may bathe as freely as if in his tub. A feature not to be overlooked is the small compass into which the cabinet is re duced when out of use. BOARDING HOUSE MAN REPORTS LOSS OF $300 John Powell, proprietor of a Hungarian boarding- house at SW West Washington street, lost $3 Thursday night. He notified the police, and Detectives Houscr and Larsh were detailed on the case. As few of the people out there could understand English, the detectives had a hard time. Yesterday morning an interpreter was se cured and it was learned from Powell that he susTected one of his boarders. Vocilla Popencc, of taking the money. Popence was placed under arrest pending an Inves tlgatlon. He was the last person to be seen In the room where the money was kept. Fruit fur the Imposition.

Missing Man

A. Thrilling Tole of Mystery. Dealing witK a Startling Phase of Hypnotic Influence and Double Personality

Synopal of Preceding Chapter. Arthur Hamilton, of Grcvedale, N. H... take leave of his wlf and two itttl chlldien one May day to go away for an absenc of two wwks on a mission which he do not explain and to a plac which he does not name. A UKe mysterlo-is trip has been taken during every May of their married life and has formed the only cloud between them. The wife is loyal, but doubts arise in apite of her. She watches her hutband on this occasion from an uvper window and eees a strange woman emerge from the village Inn and preet him on his way to the railroad station. A week after his departure a clerk from the bank in which Hamilton is employed as cashier comes to her refider.ee to aee him and tells Mrs. Hamilton that he w her hus" hanrt at the bank tt 8 o'clock the nlht before. She has not sen him and is greatly alarmed. Investigation develops that no one has seen him but the clerk. No eusriclbn of dishonesty is felt by the other lank otticers at first, so great is their trust ln Hamilton, but they begin to fear foul play. Mrs. Hamilton employs a detective and also advertises for the missing man. The president of the bank receives a mysterious letter, without postmark, signed by Hamilton, savinar h .-nnnot return at present and testifying to the perfect honesty of Osborn. a clerk, who has been under some suspicion. A bank expert finds that certain notes have been fraudulently raised from the amounts originally written. The wife refuses to believe ln his gum. though the time is Ion nast when he should have returned. The detective, after long search, nnds a man resembling Hamilton has figured in fraudulent bank transactions ln Kansas, in company with the strange woman answering the description of one seen to speak to him on the morning of his departure. No- further trace can be found of either, however, and the detective is finally obliged to give up the search. Late in the summer the bank clerk finds a traveling cap of Hamilton's In the weeds alonpr the rivtr bank. Another detective is eneaed. v,?o follows up a gang of Italian workmen, and finds in iossession of one of them a gold button which had belonged to Hamilton and which he claimed to have found near the spot where the cap was discovered. The question then was whether he had met with fOul nlav or whphr the Articles were dropped with Intent to mislead. Chapter VIII. Continued from Yesterday. "Too much clew: two buttons, mates. and a cap, all marked, are too much. I am suspicious of them." "It does look a little that way: but I am certain of one thing." "What is that?" "It was Hamilton who came to the bank." "Then he may have planned the matter to look like suicide: probably did. if he ran away with another woman. Or if innocent, he was followed, robbed, button and cap left on the bank, and he spirited away somewhere." "Or sunk in the river," said Tony. "Yes, or sunk in the river. I have taken means to have it thoroughly searched this week, and then we shall know, but I in cline to the belief that the Italians had nothing to do in the matter." Oir the day following this conversation the search began. The river was dragged as far as the falls, where it was impossible a body could remain, and far below the falls. It continued three days, and at the end of that time a decomposed body was found, with a few rags clinging to it, but nothing about it which could lead to recognition. It was a frightful sight, and Constance was not called upon to identify it, as many of the bank officers, and Mr. Carter himself, said that there would not be the slightest use in doing so. So ConStance was spared the harrow ing scene and encouraged to believe the body could not be that of her husband, particularly as it was (dscovcred that a fifth Italian had been missed from his gang one night, and philosophically left to his fate by his compan ions, though they believed him to have been drowned. This information was received through the boss to whom Swan wrote for information. Nevertheless, the body was decently butied at the expense of Mrs. Hamilton, though not in the family lot, and ConStance, with a new doubt eating into her already troubled heart, felt as if all efforts in elucidating the mystery of her husband's disappearance ouly made it denser, more unfathomable. CIIAPTKH IX. A PAIR OF SHOULDERS. August and September had slipped away, and Grovcdale was all a-crimson and a-gold with October glory. From sky to earth the marvelously clothed trees and shrubs draped the prosaic little village as with curtains let down between it and the outside world. Constance felt shut la with her trouble which seemed to be cast in upon her as jf she need seek for no help in bearing her burden. Lately she had come to feel that as no clew cquld be found of her husband, they might lie buried in the cemetery with the remains brought to light by the searching party. Surely, Ehe reasoned, if he had been ill and recovered, he would have re turned;- if dead, something would have reached her. This, If he was innocent. To be impartial she looked at the other side, and reasoned that If guilty some trace would have been found of him. With woman's inconsistency sne would not admit his identity as Ashler, for, if so, there was the beautiful green-haired woman to be considered. And yet, though exorcised from her waking thoughts, this same woman played always an Important part In her dreams. It cannot be denied that Constance pre ferred to think of her husband as dead rather than untrue to her; and, as wishes tint one's thoughts daily, till the color becomes strong and enduring after a time, so Constance chose to think of herself as a widow a widow bereft of her hus band, who had died in the discharge of his duty, and doubly a martyr, since his townsmen denied him his dues of honor, but instead covered his remains with obloquy. She did not wear the widow's crape. though she considered well before eschewing it, but the deepest, most sombre black; and her children she dressed in black and white. No one was hard-hearted enough to question her course, though her uncle privately considered it a foolish one. "Dead to her, no doubt of that," he mut tered. "But let her dress in black if she wants to. She never looked half so hand some in anything else," and he laughed to himself. "She may marry aerain some time. I would hold up both hands for it." Constance" would have been deeply of fended if she had mistrusted his thoughts.. Her heart was with Vane in all her mus ings. It was as if she had put on widow hood and carefully buried all memory of anything unpleasant which may have arisen between them in the long past. Always good, always thoughtful, Vane was the one perfect man she had known. Now he was dead, she would fulfill every wish he had ever expressed, and would endeavor to do in other things as he would have done had he lived. A branch of a famous ' marble business had recently been opened in Grovedale, and though Mr. Allen, the manager, had been but a few weeks in towu, the time was quite lonsr enough for him to become conversant with the history of the savings bank cashier, and to know Mrs. Hamilton well by sight. He was somewhat mystified, therefore, by her coming to him to consult about procuring a monument to place over the remains of her husband. Mr. Allen had two pet phrases of his own which he usually met his customers with. He would look as mournful as his Jolly face would let him. and ask either, "Ah, "when did Mr. or Mrs. as the case might be die?" or "Have you any gravestones or monument up now that you wish to exchange toward the new?" and in this case, as the llrst did not seem to bo exactly appropriate, he chose the last phrase. "No." said Constance, in her sweet, low treble; "but I wish something to be set as goon as the spring opens; something plain, yet rich and elegant." "A monument or a tablet, madam?" "A monument." "Hut an is u quite sure mat your lamented husband is dead. Mrs. Hamilton?" "There is no doubt of it, sir; none whatever." Mr. Allen without a word placed before her some cuts representing the different stvles in Scotch granite and Italian marble, and she finally chose one of the finest marble with granite base. "Have you chosen the inscription?" he asked, hoping that she would not have it commemorate his virtues as a faithful cashier. She was quite likely to, thought he, uud If so. a defacement was possible by the more ignorant class of people who believed in the guilt of Hamilton, he had been told. But her good taste saved her

this.

Copyright by Lee & Shepard.1 "I wish the inscription to be very simple," she said. "Just hi3 name, Vane Hamilton." "Very chaste, madam, both the monument and inscription. It shall be cut as soou as possible, and set up in the spring as soon as the frost is out of the ground." "Thank you," she said. "O Vane, Vane!" was the cry of her heart, as she walked home. "I may not put the Inscription on the marble, but on my haart are eugraved a milKou loving words." Mrs. Hamilton and her two children always attended the Congregational Church. Whether Mr. Carter accompanied them or not. they were always In their places. The Rev. Mr. Hammerly was a most eloquent preacher, but never" until since Mrs. Hamilton donned her black had he ventured to consider how much help to him was the pair of large, brown-orbed, expressive eyes turned upward to his face every Sabbath. She was usually very punctual, but always when she entered with her two children Mr. Hammerly aroso and began to read the morning lepson. There was a large and growing audience, for the town was also growing. The mill people those who were not Catholics came to church here, for the minister was deservedly popular, always having a pleasant word for every one. Few of them paid any pew rent, but by common consent several seats in the rear of the house on the north side of the church were left to them. Constance took a very strong interest in religious matters; Indeed, religion and love for her children were the only subjects unimpaired by her trouble, and these were more intense. Therefore she never entered tte church without glancing in the direction of the mill people's pews to see if they were as well filled or better than usual. On the occasion of which I write, the one following the day when she had chosen her monument, as she entered she glanced that way as usual, and for a moment her heart stood still. Then It gave a tempestuous bound. Constance never paused, but. with flushed cheeks and startled eyes, walked-up the aisle to her own seat, and the minister laid open the big Bible, adjusted the long velvet bookmark laden with Maltese and Roman crosses (Mrs. Hamilton's gift to the church), and began reading with wellmodulated voice the morning lesson. But he could not prevent his heart from recognizing the pink flush on one woman's face and the fact that it made her marvelously beautiful. And what occasioned it? Only a pair of shoulders in the mill people's pew; a pair of shoulders of square cut, yet peculiar mold, that reminded her instantly of her husband. Nothing else, less than nothing else, for the head above them was covered with dark, almost black hair, and her husband's was a golden brow of light shade. As Constance settled herself in her seat she felt angry with herself at her folly, and put the matter from her thoughts as she bowed her head in prayer a moment later. God was her only refuge now. Though He had seen fit to try her in the fires of affliction, she would have faith that all would come right sometime, somewhere; not in mis world, out in the next. And back of her, though she did not know it, two eager eyes were fixed on her bowed head and white neck, while his lips whispered in a dazed manner to himself. "Beautiful." Finally, emotion gaining the mastery, he whispered to Dan Fry, who sat nearest, "Who is that?" "Who?" "Yes. the one that Just came in with the children." "Mis' Hamilton." said Dan, frowning and turning away as he thought, "Like enough never went to meetin afore." But the man showed no disposition to offend further by whispering in church, and Dan's displeasure was soon appeased. Dan never left his pew until Mrs. Hamilton passed down the a:sle after service, from natural obeisance to her superior claims on his family and personal admiration as well. There he stood stock-still, and any one who happened to be behind him did likewise, for to push by the burly Dan would be an undertaking open to a settlement elsewhere. But to-day only Dan and the stranger sat together. The pew had no other occupant, and the stranger had evidently no objection to lingering for a sight of the lady's face whose bent head had seemed to impress him so strongly. As she came gracefully down the aisle in her lustreless black silk gown and black bonnet he gazed eagerly into her face with a pair of eyes so like, yet so unlike, her husband s, that she grew faint for a moment. But she rallied instantly and nodded pleasantly to Dan while she allowed her gaze to rest a moment ou his companion. Yes, he resembled her husband, no doubt, but the resemblance was far less striking than at first she imagined. His hair was so different, and as he stood up he seemed shorter and less erect. His eyes were like Vane s iu color and shape, but the expression was totally at variance; and his hair. as I have previously stated, was dark brown, while Vane's was quite light. Besides all this, his clothes were those of a workingman's, his hands, though well shaped enough, toil-worn and darkened. He was also, or looked to be, five or ten years older than her husband. Airs. Ham llton passed on, and little Clare came close behind her, while Pcrley clung to his moth er's hand. As Clare brushed by the stranger he put out his hand and touched her curls in a lingering, caressing fashion that amazed and offended Dan, who, however, could say nothing in church. But Clare resented it in her own fashion by drawing herself up haughtily and looking him full in the face, at w hich he shrank back humbly. H.lPDenins: to glance back at Clare, Mrs Hamilton saw the look and pitied him, for she was so constituted that she could never bear to see any one humbled or hurt. She therefore took occasion to reprove Clare going home. "xou should never be naugnty, particu larly to one not so well placed as your self. n:y dear. The man meant no harm. I am auite sure. JNo dount he loves chil dren and your hair looked pretty to him." "He may look at it then, but I don t care to have a common person like him touch mv hair." replied Clare, quite unmoliiflea, and drawing nerseir up in a aigninea xasn ion. "Clare," asked her mother, hesitatingly, did he resemble your papa in any way, do vou think?" "No, indeed, mamma, not in any way at all," very decidedly, "i'apa s hair was light and this man's was dark and horrid, and his hands were horrid, too. Papa's were nice like mine. I thought his eyes were like papa s, said Perley, who liked to agree with his mother. "I thought so too, Perley, but, of course. he does not look as well. "No, I t-hould say not, said Clare; "my father was a very handsome man." Mrs. Hamilton noticed that for several weeks the children spoke of their father in the nast tent-e as if for them he had no more existence, and it made her heart sink at this confirmation, slight though it might be, of her own mind. The strange man she saw in church lin gered in her thoughts during the week and was no doubt pinned there by a strange circumstance that came to her notice on Tuesday evening. As she drew the curtains

at nightfall before lighting the lamps she saw a man standing directly under a tall tree that stood in the yard, which was fenceless, and about a rod from the window. He appeared to be looking directly in, but as soon as the curtains were drawn he shrank back, slowly turned away, and walked down the street. This Mrs. Hamilton saw by holding the drapery a little one side and peering out. She was convinced that the man was no other than the one she remarked at church. A slight qualm of fear came ever her a moment, but only for a moment; he seemed to be "such a humble and pathetic figure as he timidly touched little Clare's hair, that she could not fear him. .And ag.iin dawned before her intelligence the sure if slight resemblance he bore to her husband. This she felt would attract her regard anywhere, but how could be explained his interest in herself and children? She could think of no adequate reason, though a vainer woman would have found its reason in her own beauty. Mrs. Hamilton, however, had long ceased to rind her own looks of interest to herself, and to speculate upon their influence on others. It is safe to say she never dreamed of the honts beginning to flutter in the breast of her minister. Mr. Hammerly. She only thought of him as an eloquent, earnestminded minister who led her soul into deeper communion with those hopes and aspirations which it alone afforded her pleasure to contemplate. But this other man! She would about as caMIy have looked on Dan Fry as an admirer. She thought she understood the matter better when she learned toward the last of the week that he was boarding at Mrs. Fry's; for she reasoned. "Mrs. Fry has been lauding me in her usual partial manner, and naturally he has Imbibed something of her opinion. Being a stranger in town he naturally takes the Fry estimate as his own." On Saturday night, therefore, when she saw the man standing under the tree as before, she did not draw the curtain until the lamp was lighted. To Ue Continued To-morrow.J
