McKNIGHT VANISHES.

Professor McKnight, assisted by Adelaide Austin, hypnotist and revealer of mysteries, after his closing bill Saturday night, entitled The Railroad Bridge Mystery, or Who Shot the Dogs, vanished, leaving a few bad debts, and strong Bmell of whiskey and garlic in his wake. Percy, his “voice” in the “thought transference” tests, had a brain storm trying to get into a trance that he might locate his week’s salary that “Mac” so unkindly eloped with, but it was no go, and Percy, philosopher that he is, accepted a position where the strain is not so great, carrying a hod on St. Joseph’s new buildings, f Pat Courtney, a product of Brook and one of Mac’s subjects, suffered a badly sprained wrist trying to pry Mac loose from a nickel to get a ctip of coffee for breakfast. His scenery, a hard boiled shirt, paste diamond and Shorty Adams, he left in the opera house.
