Later, after two men have threatened the young man, who gives his name as Nelson Smith, the two young people depart for Anncsley’s home, which, by a coincidence, is also the London home of Ruthven Smith. After a series of incidents Nelson declares his love for Annesley, who having lived a colorless life with an uncongenial aunt, is so bewildered by Nelson’s romantic protestations of love that she accepts him.

Attorney General Palmer is still op- | posed to a pardon for Debs, but is under- . stood to be favorably considering an order for the commutation of Debs' sentence. President Wilson has indicated clearly that he will not pardon Debs, but there has been no indication of how he would consider commutation of sentence. The record in the Debs case was made virtually complete today by the pardon division of the Department of Justice. The Debs case record Is a bulky file, including a favorable review by the Atlanta warden of Debs' good conduct since becoming an Inmate of the prison. Debs’ good conduct rating, and other factors, which have reduced a considerable part of the term Debs was to serve, forms an important part of the record.

And subsequent performances were not less attended. The opening performance, however, being the first of this great popular success, was the more surprising. It was expected that be would win after the reviewers had paid him tribute, but for any young player—-or old player cither for that matter—to draw on an inclement night more than 4,(00 people to witness a Shakespearean performance Is something which deserves record as one of the great triumphs of the year.”
