A Villain Baffled.

“So!” hissed the villain. The heroine faced him grandly, the calcium light sputtered delightedly »ver the scene, causing her jewels to glitter like the eye of a press agent. “So!” growled the villain. Here the heroine kicked her train around in front of her, and the handpainted flowers on the back breadth came into full view. Bravely she clutched the will in her lily-white fingers. “So!” hoarsely muttered the villain. With the air of a queer- the heroine turned upon him. “Why do you say ‘So’ so often?” she asked. “Do you think can cowe me ?” - Realizing that he was baffled for tho last time in that act, the villain rolled another cigarette and left the stage with a tragic stride.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
