He has a wife and one child, under 12 years of age. Wlnans , was listed as eleventh to come up for examination, but as he will be absent from the city a couple of weeks his application for Immediate action in his case was accepted.

ble county fair grounds. This family Is one of the largest In the county and will be attended by several hundred relatives.

On The Boards

A few score Richmond folks saw a good show Monday night.

The few score made up the tiny crowd that saw Harry North's Murray

Theatre players In their presentation

of George M. Cohan's mad mystery

farce. "Seven Keys to Baldpate." The play itself Is a curious combina

tion of swift action . and infrequent draggy moments, of melodrama and farce, which "springs" surprise after surprise, and ends in a final double

surprise for the audience. William Hallowell Magee, well play

ed by Jack Doyle, is a young author who has made a $5,000 bet with the millionaire owner of Baldpate Inn that he can go"to the Inn, assured peace and quiet, and write in twenty-four

hours, a 10,000 word story.

aiagee nas just goiien seuiea ana

locked the door with his key, "the only one In existence," when the grate of

a second key Is heard in the lock, and

In a swift whirl of action, one after

he other people enter, until six keys have been used. The newcomers are all interested in a "wad" of $200,000 brought by one of them, which is to be UBed for bribing purposes, and the plot grows more c omplfcated, with Magee In the center of the action. " .. After several upsets, a murder and the entrance of a chief of police who vents the $200,000 himself, the seventh key turns In the lock and the owner of Baldpate enters. He announces to the astonished Ma-

pee that nothing In the action is real, that the actors are a stock company which he hired to break up Magee's peace and quiet and win the bet. The curtain goes down, and comes up again, and reveals that the whole thing Is the story the author has written and which he Is shown finishing in time to win his bet. Jack Doyne is good as Magee. and

the policeman Is well-played by Harry

North. Frank Patton made a success

of Peter, the hermit, though the part

was slightly over-done at times. The honors in the woman's roles

must go to Mias Patti McKinley for her playing of the part of Myra Thorn-

hill, the adventuress, tjiougn fc,cmn Clark as Mary Norton made a very attractive heroine.

KING-KHYBER RIFLES

"A thirsty throat and a crazy head are one!" he counseled. "A man needs wit and a wet tongue who would talk with her!" "Where is she?" asked King, when he had finished drinking. "Go and lobk!" Ismail gave him a sudden shove, that sent him feet first forward over the edge. He fell a distance rather greater than his own height, to another ledge and stood there looking up. He could see Ismail's red-rimmed eyes blinking down at him in the Iantern light, but suddenly the Afridi blew the lamp out, and then the darkness became solid. Thought itself left off less than a yard away. "Ismail!" he whispered. But Ismail did not answer him. He faced about, leaning against thp rock, with the flat of both hands pressed tight against it for the sake of its company. And almost at once he saw a little bright red light glowing in the distance. It might have been a hundred yards, and it might have been a mile away below him; it was perfectly Impossible to judge, for the darkness was not measurable. "Flowers turn to the light!" droned Ismail's voice above sententjously, and turning, he thought he could see red eyes peering over the rock. He jumped, and made a grab for the flowing beard that surely must be below them, but he missed. "Little fish swim to the light!" droned Ismail. "Moths "fly to the light! Who is a man that he should know less than they?" " He turned again and stared at the light. Dimly, very vaguely he could make out that a causeway led downward from almost, where he stood. He was convinced that should he try to climb back Ismail would merely reach out a hand and shove him down again, and there was no sense in being put to that indignity. He decided to go forward, for there was even less sense in standing still. "Come with me! Come along, Ismail!" he called. "Allah!-' Hear him! Nay, nay, nay, Who was it said a little while ago, 'There is no such thing as feal!' I am afraid, but thou and I are two men! Go thou alone!" Reason is a man's only dependable faculty. Reason told him that at a word from Ysmini he would have been flung into "Earth's Drink" hours ago. Therefore, added reason, why should she forego that spectacular opportunity when death would have amused Khinjan's thousands, only to kill him now in the dark alone? He had treated a few dozen sick men, but surely she had not been afraid to offend them. Had she not dared forbid the sick coming to him altogether? "Forward!" says Cocker, fn at least a dozen places. "Go forward and find out. Better a bed in hell than a seat on the horns of a dilemma! Forward." There was no sound now anywhere. He stretched a leg downward and felt a rock two or three feet lower down, and the sound of his slipper sole touching it, being the only noise, made the short hair rise on the back of his neck. Then he took himself, so to speak, by the hand and went forward and downward, for action is the only, curb imagination knows. He forgot to count his pulse and judge how long it took him to descend that causeway in the dark. .It was not so very rough, nor so very dangerous, but of course he only knew that fact afterward. He had to grope his way inch by inch, trusting to sense of touch and the British army's everlasting luck, with an eye all the while on a red light that was something like the glow through hell's keyhole. When he reached bottom, after perhaps twenty minutes, and stood at last on comparatively level rock, his legs were trembling from tension, and he had to sit down while he stretched them out and rested. The light still looked a quarter of a mile away, although that was guesswork. It made

scarcely moie Impression on the surrounding darkness than one coal glowing in a cellar. The silence began to make his head ache. He got up and started forward, but just as he did that he thought he heard a footstep. He suspected Ismail might be following after all. "Ismail!" he called, trying to peer through the dark. But all the darkness had its home there. He could not even see his own hand stretched out. His own voice made him jump; after a second's pause it began to crack and rattle from wall to wall and from roof to floor, until at last the echoing word became one again and died with a hiss somewhere in the bowels of the world Mbisssss! like the sound of hot iron being plunged into a blacksmith's trough with a little after-murmur of complaining water. But then he was sure he heard a footstep! He faced about; and now there were two red lights where there had been only one. They seemed rather nearer, perhaps because there were two of them. "Hullo, King sahib!" said a voice he recognized; and he choked. He felt that if he had coughed his heart would have lain on the floor! To be continued

And then a. tear rolled down his wrinkled face and he said: "I'm sorry I shot him. If I had taken a second thought and walked away there would have been no trouble." Tries to Collect $1.50 No one answered his knocks on the car door, Trachenberg finally walked up and asked Harris what he was doing there. "I want that money you owe me," Harris claims he told him. Follows Trachenberg Into Car Trachenberg walked into the car and started to work. Harris followed him in, and claims he shot him when Trachenberg moved toward a revolver which was lying close. Trachenberg staggered to the floor in a dazed condition and made another attempt to reach the revolver, Harris claims. It was then that Harris shot him again and later shot twice more. The first shot pierced his left breast and the second his left temple. Evidence collected by Chief of Police McNally Tuesday at the construction camp conflicts with the story told by Harris. Blamed Victim for Discharge According to the chief, employes say that Harris was "sore" at Trachenberg because the latter had been the cause of his discharge. They say, according to the chief, that Harris deliberately .shot Trachenberg, after he had walked into the car. The only weapon found in the car by Coroner Morrow was a small unloaded revolver. Harris used a 32 calibre pistol. Asked why he was carrying the revolver, Harris said he expected trouble with several other men, whom he had once arrested, for sleeping in empty cars. Harris was arrested about 11 o'clock as he left a saloon on North Seventh street. The revolver had been reloaded, according to police. Trachenberg's home is in Chicago and the body will be shipped there. Harris is the father of four grown children. His wife is dead.
