The Man From Home

A Novelization of the Play of the Same Name Copyright, 1909, by American Press Association

SYNOPSIS. CHAPTER I—Daniel Voorhees Pike, a rising young Kokomo (Ind.) lawyer, hears that his ward, Ethel GrangerSimpson, is to be married abroad to the son of an English earl. Her father was his nearest friend and he has long loved the girl. He goes abroad to arrange with her the business matters connected with her marriage, n—Ethel Granger-Simpson and her brother Horace, 1 have become anglomaniacs and are spending much of their late father’s fortune in travel and entertaining. They become intimate with Lady Creech, the Earl of Hawcastle, his son, Almeric St. Aubyn, and Comtesse de Champigny, an adventuress and associate of the earl’s. They are at a hotel at Sorrento, Italy. Ethel promises to marry the son because she craves a title. Ill—The Russian von Grollerhagen. CHAPTER IV. STRANGE NEWS. THE Earl of Hawcastle was nearly at the end of his financial rope. And yet to look at him as he entered upon the terrace from the lemon grove no one would have thought that a care in the world possessed him. Added to the natural calm demeanor of the Englishman of station was a certain self possession gained by years of standing on the brink of events, and, while this brilliant morning his cares had bung even a little more heavily upon him than was his desire, yet he gave no outward hint of any troubles that beset him. He was a well preserved man of flf-ty-Six, with close cropped iron gray hair and a straight cut military mustache that hid certain cruel lines in his mouth and softened the severe lineaments. He carried himself with an erectness that bespoke pride in race, if not in deeds of his own. He was distinguished with that curious individuality that causes those in the street to nudge one another and ask in whispers who another may be, and he was unmistakably high bred. True, his sense of honor that would balk at cheating in a card game or the larceny of a traveling bag was not sufficient to debar him from con-

nlvlng at the attachment of a young and helpless girl’s money with the foreknowledge of a lifelong misery for her as the consequence. This morning he was clad In an Immaculate suit of lightly striped white flannel, with carefully pipeclayed shoes, and /the pale rose necktie that be wore was a living monument to the fact that the weH groomed Englishman knows no peer on earth, while the Jaunty exactness of his snowy panama hat was a revelation In proper headgear. As he entered the terrace his alert glance swept it from end to end, and be noted that there was no one about. He moved at once to the table that Mariano had set for him. and at the Instant he Bat down Michele ran down the steps of the hotel with a folded newspaper In his hand which he patented to milord with a low bow. Mariano entered bearing a coffee tray, and the earl greeted him with a cheerful goo 4 morning whiciL Mariano ac-

khowledged as one wfmTd a favor from a king. “Milor* is serve,” he announced with soft accents and took the hat and light walking stick, bestowing them with reverential care upon a side table. As the earl unfolded II Mattino he glanced up. “No English papers?” he said. “Milor 1 , the mail is late,” answered Michele andi bowed himself up the stairs. “Also Mme. de Champigny,” growled the earl as he glanced down the unfamiliar pages. As he spoke the countess, clad In the very latest Parisian creation, swept down the steps and approached the table. She looked well, and she knew It Apparently about thirty-two, she would probably have confessed to five years more under pressure, but her dark beauty was well set off by the light colors she affected, and the tilt of her parasol revealed more to the

capable eye of an observer than a ream of self description or admission. She was of that type that causes the elderly dowager of any race to regard her with suspicion and to gather her male entourage beneath the protecting wings. Mme. de Champigny, raising her hand with a little gesture of greeting, paused an instant as she stood at the top of the steps and cried softly: “Me void!” The earl jumped to his feet and bowed, inquiring at the same time: “My esteemed relative Is still asleep?” The countess swept forward to her chair, which Hawcastle palled out for her, and murmured: “I trust your beautiful son has found much better employment —as our hearts would wish him, eh?” Hawcastle laughed shortly and mirthlessly. “He has. He’s off on a canter with the little American."

Whereat the demure countess clapped her daintily gloved hands together and cried softly: “Brava!” That they were old friends, these two, was to be seen at a glance. There was no inquiring as to each other’s tastes and dislikes. It was evident that long association had Ingrained an Intimate knowledge of the other into the mind of each, and they met as good comrades without more then perfunctory courtesy. The earl went on as he reseated himself. “I didn’t mean Almerlc, however, Helene, but my august sister-in-law.” Without further comment he turned to the paper again and read. The amiable countess smiled at him enigmatically and broke a roll with the gesture of an empress. , * . “The amiable Lady Hermione Trevelyan Creech has dejeuner in her apartments. What do you And to read, tnon cher?”

Hawcastlethrew the paper down upon the cloth with an exclamation. “I’m spch a duffer at Italian,” be said, “blit apparently the people along the coast are having a scare over an escaped convict, a Russian.” The hovering Mariano, who was flitting about the table like a wounded sparrow, started slightly and hesitated with a silver cover in his hand, then stepped forward. “If milor' will pardon me”— The countess also started and put down her fork with a slight rattle. “A Russian?” she ejaculated. “Yes," grumbled tbe earL “An escaped Russian bandit bas been traced to Castellamare”— He paused to insert tbe choicest bit of melon in his mouth, and Mariano’s jaw dropped with tbe excitement. “Casteliarrmre—not twelve kilometers from here!” he whispered in awestruck tones, and the earl continued when he had masticated the fruit: “And a confidential agent—secret service man, I dare say—has requested his arrest from the Italian authorities. But, to quote from our grandiose II Mattino, ‘the brigand tore himself from the hands of the carabinieri, 1 or something like that I can’t be sure, but it read to me”— Mariano broke in excitedly. He had picked up the paper and was devouring it with avidity. “If milor’ permit, and madame”— te bowed like an automaton—“l shall translate.” “Quite right. Mariano,” said the earl, and the maitre d’hotel went on avidly. “The btigan’ tore himself,” he read excitedly, “from the hand of the carabinieri, and without tbe doubts he conceal himself in some of these grotto near Sorrento, and searchment is being execute’. The agent of the Russian embassy have inform 1 the bureau that this escape one is a mos 1 in-fray-mose robber and danger brigan 1 . 11 “What name does the paper say he has?” Interrupted Mme. de Champigny, with a catciT of her breath, and Mart ano bowed again Jerkily in her direction. “It has not to say, madame,” he replied. “That is all. And will milor 1 and Mme. la Comtesse excuse me? And may I take the Journal? There is one who should see it.” Hawcastle smiled slightly at his excitement and nodded. “Very well, Mariano,” he said, and Mariano, with another jerk that was supposed to include both of the Illustrious ones, disappeared with a speediness that was alarming. For an instant there was silence, and then the countess, with a quick upward glaitce of her dark eyes, said tremblingly': ’ “I should like much to know his name.” The ean smiled and went on with his breakfast “You may be sure it isn’t Ivanoff,” he said, but the assurance did not seem to carry weight with madame, for she leaned her chin in her hand and looked off over the bay, and there was * troubled look in her eyes.

Sunday School Workers.

The fourth International district summer training school- for Sunday School Workers will be held at Winona Lake this sumnjer ten days prior to the annual Bible Conference. The school will be open for ten days, from August 10 to 20. At this school in struction will be given in the modern method of Sunday school instruction—that of the graded system. Until within the last few years children remained in the same class for years, receiving the same instruction and going over the same ground from youth td old age. Now. however, intelligent instruction is being infused into the con duct of such institutions. Not only are the schools graded as in our pub lie schools, but teachers trained to the work are being engaged. Superintendents are being employed at good salaries to instruct the teachers in the proper method of giving instruction. From time immemorial well-meaning people who knew almost^ nothing about what they were talking were allowed to instruct Sunday school scholars, making the most flagrant statements as to biblical data, the scholars receiv ing the most absurd ideas. Now, however, such conditions are befng wiped out and only persons properly equipped are permitted to teach in this important work. It is to further this move ment that this school for Sunday Bchooil workers will convene at Winona Lake this summer.

New York Symphony Orchestra.

Visitors at Winona Lake this summer during the week of July 26 will have the opportunity to enjoy one of the greatest musical festivals ever offered In Indiana. The New York Symphony Orchestra, with Walter Damrosch as conductor, will be heard there every afternoon and evening during the entire week. It is needless to expatiate upon the merits of this wonderful association of artists. All musical people the wide world over know of Walter Damrosch and his famous orchestra. Every player in it is an artist of wide recognition. Many have been with Walter Damrosch for years. Upon the death of his father, the celebrated Dr. Leopold Damrosch, twentyfive years ago, Walter Damrosch, then but a youth of twenty-two, had so completely won the hearts and confidence of the musical world that he was elected successor to his father, not only of the New York Symphony and Oratorio Societies, but musical conductor of the Metropolitan Opera House as well. Step by step he revealed himself as an artist of rare ability; and step by step he has guided the destinies of the New York Symphony Orchestra until its renown is world-wide. It was he who first brought forward Wagnerian music- in America, until today it is loved and appreciated by all musical people In this country. Wagner is the greatest modern master of music, and his compositions as interpreted by the New York Symphony Orchestra are developed to their highest point of execution. This will be a week of feasting for all lovers of the best in musical productions.

MESSINA AT WINONA LAKE.

One of the interesting illustrated lectures which will be on the program at Winona Lake this summer will be that upon the earthquake at Messina. The lecturer, Mr. Frank E. Robertson, has just returned from the scene of this terrible cataclysm, bringing with him two hundred of the most remarkable photographs and auto-chromes of the actual scenes, places and conditions in the cities of Messina and Reggio, immediately after the quake. The destruction of these two cities is the supreme catastrophe of the age. It rivals In sudden, swift and wholesale annihilation of man and his works the greatest tragedies in human history—the fiery doom of Pompeii; the swallowing up of Lisbon; the cremation of Catania; the awful fate of the Island of Martinique—lso,ooo people passed from life as “in thetwinkling of an eye.” In the quake not only were thousands of lives lost, but buildings fell and whole cities were destroyed, tidal waves and fires completing the work of destruction. Mr. Robertson tells of the calamity with a forcefnlness that bespeaks an eyewitness, his superior illustrations making the lecture intensely realistic. The lecture occurs the evening of July 15.

CHICAGO’S GREATEST SHOW.

***•£! tew Exposition Surpasses AH World’s Records m Attendance. Chicago’s latest and the world’s great* est show up to date, RIVERVIEW EXPOSITION, la daily breaking all crowd records In this city of multitudes. The attendance of the famous World’s Fair Is eclipsed. A million persons visited the exposition the first few days of Its opening. By daylight, opening day, a multitude fathered at the massive main gates. 'hey came out of the city on street cars; from the country by trains; from all points of. the compass afoot, on horseback, in automobiles, carriages, electric, elevated and steam railways and by boat.

State street sent thousands of richly attired beautiful women In picture hats and gowns, the factory settlements young girls In modest garb but with equally light hearts, the busy marts’ portly business men in autos, slender clerks, their wives and children, carrying picnic equipment, the resident districts’ children in merry troops, shouting and laughing, aristocrats from the boulevards, and workingmen In holiday attire, a light-hearted, expectant throng that swarmed through gates, driveways, turnstiles and even over the white walls eager ato view the marvels of the great exposition. Thousands arrived on a fleet of electric launches, steamers, big excursion boats, sailing craft and rowboats, all gaily flying bunting and flags, laden with joyous crowds, whose noises of merriment mingled with the music of many bands.

All day the vast concourse of shouting men, women and children passed Into the grounds. They were confronted with an endless revelation of architectural. acenlo and natural splendor In theaters, pavilllons, courts, midways, esplanades, exhibition buildings, art and Industrial halls, casinos, concert stadiums for great military bands and orchestras, causeways, boulevards, waterways and gleaming white tessellated buildings. Turreted and dascllng In their beauty the buildings form snow white avenues and fringe the shores of diamond lakes from whose prismatic depths spout and spray fountains of crystal waters by day and opalescent mists of green, purple, orange and heliotrope by night. The mile square center of marvelously beautiful structures sets like a city of Carrara marble In the emerald heart of groves, forestry and flower plats. Chicago Is ever surpassing Its own achievements but It will never build such another spectacular spl.endor as
