of a young French aristocrat, Loui
Valney-Chereaulte - the -part bein
taken by Ross Carter, With his sic
ter, Anne De Laseyne, (Miss Viols
Morrison), and his cousin, -the girl
whom he loved, Eloise d'Anviile
(Miss Margaret Plumsteel), 'when 1
was treated -to • a' garret room.1
Boulogne. The cousin, who ha
given hel •property to 'the•revolu
tionary government and •liatl tune
republican,' fancied that she ha
gained the' gratitude of thd'• country
and that her relatives were per-
fectly safe under her protection. iI
cousins, however, are.-not•so sure
her power and Louis is busy trying
to forge passports which will •permit
them to board a boat which •sails in
an hour. ' 'Ile is not very suecoest
and the nearness 'of his cousin, the
young republican, is so disturbing
that he finds himself adding her real
name to the assumed names which
they had adopted and forced upon
her. Before long a loud•knocking is
heard at the door and Valsin, an of-
ficial of the revolutionary govern-
ment, (Edward Rorke)„ breaks down
the door, after repeatedly demanding
admittance, and finds only Anne De
Laseyne, who has forced her brother
and their cousin to leave her to deal
with what may come; She does her
best, telling hits' she is a widow, who
has a niece staying with her. The
officer 'sees through het very easily
and plays a bit upon her nervous-
ness, when her cousin appears and
sends her etvay while she tries her
hand at parleying. When she tells
the officer that her friends are un-
der the protection of Citizen Eloise
d' Anville, he laughs at her, and
makes her very' 'angry by pretee,d-
ing to think she is a governess and
by describing herself, Eloise d'An-
viIle, the aristocrat; turned republi-
can, as a vain and futile person, who
is held in contempt by the official's.
Finally he 'even "spurns her offer to
maim him!, an 'care
y n, and declares that he will
arrest Louis; but wilt allow the wo-
man to 'take the boat now waiting.
He calls upon Louis to •send out the
two women who are with him, his
sister anil Eloise, whom he assumes
is - also there, .and promises to give
him ten minutes after . they leave.
The two women appear; Anne and a
tall figure .in black, 'and the •three
depart When Valsin's. assistant
Dods:Millie, (John :Me0]11), wants to
go into the other room .to snake. the
ai'r.est Valsin tells him that there is t
no• - n t
one here, that Louis was the
"lady" in 'black. He had allowed this
prisoner to escape and tells his sub-
ordinates to' forget it. He thinks
that Louis, to whom he bore a per:
serial grudge, will be sufficiently
punished if he marries the proud lit -

THE BENEFIT CONCERT
Those who attended the concert,
given under the direction of the
Clinton Kiltie Band in the town hail
on Sunday evening in aid of a ehil-
dren's Christmas fund, did not really
contribute to that fund at 'all as they
were treated to a very enjoyable con-
cert. And anyone who did not put
at least fifty cents on the plate must
have felt ss if he or she was getting
more than they paid for. It was an
excellent pregnant.
Dr, Shaw occupied the -chair, per-
forming the -duties of ids office in
genial fashion. The program con-
sisted of several selections by the
full. band, solos by Mr. Meakin of
Goderich, a former member of the
Drury Lane Theatre: London, who
possesses a very pleasing baritone
.voice and who was well received;
solos by Rev. Father Sullivan, who
has assisted on seeeral programs
since corning to • Clinton but who
had not been heard by so large and re-
presentative an audience before and
who was also well. received. Solos
by Mrs, Chas. E. Dougan, Miss Vi-
ola Fraser and Mr. Chas. Cook, whti
need no conurnendation in Clinton; a
trumphot quartette by Messrs. Ag-
new,Pearson, Kutch and Rapson; a
cornetuet
d by Messrs. A"new
and
Pearson, a cornet solo by Mr. Mbr-
gan Agnew, a vocal duet by Mrs.
Carless and. Mrs. Fitzsimons, and
a couple of selections by a male
quartette, consisting of Messrs, A.
R. Mitchell, W. lljuteh, F. M,uteh and
G. D. Roberton. Each number was
enthusiastically encored and the mu-
sicians were good-natured. aed • re-
s
speeded etl i n most cases.
Some Scottish Melodies by the
band and Auld Lane -Syne and God
Save the King brought the program
to en end. • •

Dr. Shaw, during a short inter
mission, explained the object of the
gathering end commended the band
for their public -spirit in aiding all
good causes. He thought they should
be encouraged and same day he -hop-
ed to seg Clinton's band enter the
competition at the Canadian Nation-
al Exhibition, and bring • :hone a
prize. • He expressed regret that the
members did not appear an uniform,
but said they did not consider this a
dress parade. He also expressed re-
gret that the pipes were not in evi-
denee and told a story of a Mian in a
Montreal hospital whe was thought
to be dying and who asked to heat
Mite pipes before the end came. A
piper was procured and played be-
neath his window and'the••ntan got
better. "An evil -disposed English-
man asserted: afterwards, "continued
Dr, Shaw, "that all the"other patients
in the hospital. died." Dr. Shaw also
spoke a word of commendation of
the Home and School Club, the or
ganizatian to which the Band is:giv-
ing the proceeds of the concert' to
,expend.; in providing Christmas' Cheer,
es ec"-11 to c i

had been ;doing -this sort of thing'
quietly and without parade for son*
time and were in a position to know
