SOTHERN has compiled a condensed Ms - tory of the performances of "Hamlet" since Shake- speare'; time, which is something more than interesting. The first per- formance is said to have been given at the Globe Theatre, Bankside, Southwark, England, in 1600, with Richard Burbage as Hamlet, and the legendary cast for the second per- lormance, at Blackfriars Theatre in London, in. 1603, included Joseph ',Taylor as Hamlet and Stephen Ham- merton as Ophelia. In 1661 Better- ton played Hamlet at Lincoln Inn Fields with Mrs. Saunderson as Ophe- Iia, and of these tWo Baroness Orczy las written very recently a delightful ravel called "His Majesty's Well- I3eloved:" Colley Gibber came on the scene in 1708, and played Osric at Drury Lane Theatre, Wilks being the Hamlet and Mrs. Mountfort the Ophelin. Da- vid Garrick first played the ghost to Giffard's Hain! -et and Miss Hippisley's Ophella in December, 1741, and at the Drury Lane, November 16, 1742, he came into his own, playing Ham- let to the Ophelia of the famous Kitty Clive. October 25, 1750, Springer Barry was the Hamlet, Mrs. Susanna Cibber the Ophelia and the great Peg Wofington was the queen. This was at Covent Garden, and seven years later Thomas Sheridan, father of • Richard Brinsley Sheridan, was the Hamlet at the same theatre, with' Mrs. Chambers as Ophelia. An unusual performance at the time was on June 27, 1781, at Bath, England, when Mrs. Siddons played. Hamlet, playing aphelia, five years later, and ten years, after that acted the queen for the first time to the Hamlet of Wroughton and the, Ophe- lia of Mrs. Jordan. The picturesque John Philip Kemble essayed the part of Hamlet for the first time in Sep- tember, 1783, at Drury Lane, and played it with great success for many years, while the second woman to essay the role was Mrs- Powell, at Drury Lane, June 4, 1802. Edmund Kean first played Hamlet at Drury Lane in 1814, and among those in the cast was .James Wal - lack. William C. Macready was next to essay the part, at Bath in- 1828, and four years later, almost to the day, appeared at Drury Lane - with Helen Faucit as Ophelia. - In the same year, in a benefit to Charles M. Young, Macready played the Ghost and Charles Mathews the Polonius. At the Princess Theatre, in 1848, Macready was the Hamlet, Fanny Kemble Butler the Ophelia and Charles Phelps appeared as ' the Ghost and played Hamlet for the first time in 1844. In 1852, Charles Keane played Hamlet and Charles Fisher was the _Ghost_ Barry -Sullivan .first ,-played, the part in London 'the; same year. In 1864 Henry Irving played Hamlet for the first time at Manchester, ten years Iater appearing in London with Isabella Bateman as Ophelia. Irving again played Hamlet at his own Ly- ceum Theatre on May 3, 1879, with Ellen Terry as Ophelia. Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree first acted. Hamlet in London at the Haymarket in 1892, and on September 11, 1897, Sir John- stone Forbes -Robertson played Ham- let at the Lyceum, with Mrs. - Patrick Campbell as Ophelia. The first performance of Hamlet in America was by Lewis Hallam in Philadelphia In July, 1759, and the first in New York was by Hallam November 26, 1761, at the Chapel (now Beekman) Street Theatre, with Mrs. Morris as Ophelia. Thomas A. Coo -per played the part at the Park - Theatre February 28, 1'08, and Charles Kean played it at Baltimore in September, 1831, with William Warren, Junius Brutus Booth and John Sefton in the cast. An interest- ing . performance was given at the Tremont Theatre in Boston on De- eember 15, 1837, when John Vanden- hoff was the Hamlet, with E. L. Davenport J. E jIurdockk John Gil - best aiid tni�yiies!ayer in the cast. Ten year later, in 1847, Mrs. Hunt ir's. W } played Ojholia to JamesA, Anderson's millet at the Pari q,'heatre, and in the same yea!•, - at the sante place, George Vandenhoff, played the part with Sarah Hildreth as Ophelia. In 1847, too, Murdock played Hamlet at the New Broadway Theatre with Fanny Wallack as Ophelia. On March 19, 1851, at the old Broadway Theatre, in New York, Edwin Forrest- was seen f:s Hamlet, with Mute. Ponisi as Ophelia, and in 1853 Edwin Booth played Hamlet for,- the- first time in San Francisco. E. L. Davenport was next to essay Hamlet, doing -so at Burton's Theatre, in New York, October 16, 1856, with Mrs. Davenport as Ophelia. - A year later James E. ,Murdock was seen in the part at the same theatre,. and Barry . Sullivan played Hamlet for the first time in America at Niblo's Garden, in 1860. Edwin Booth began his famous run of 100 nights at the Winter . Garden Theatre, New York, on November 26, 1864. In 1870 Charles Fechter appeared in Boston. March 10, 1877, Charles Coghlan played Hamlet, Fannie Davenport be- ing the Ophelia, and Anna Dickinson essayed the part at the Fifth Avenue Theatre in 1.882. Twentieth century Hamlets began with E. H. Sothern, when he played the part for the first time at the -Gar- den Theatre, September 17, 1900, and Walter Hampden is one of. the latest and best of recent Hamlets. One of the greatest performances of the tragedy in New York was given at the Metropolitan Opera House, - May 21, 1888, for the benefit of Les- ter Wailack, with Booth as Hamlet, Frank Mayo as the king, Eben Plymp ton as Laertes, Lawrence Barrett as the Ghost., John. Gilbert as Polonius, Jefferson and Florence as- the grave diggers, Modjeska as Ophelia. The Ridero the Ki� Logi • • • Wallin. • "Rest easy on that, Paul."`I Sabatis had come upon his feet sud denly, and his • size, outlined . by the firelight, was intimidating. The war- den held firm opinion that Indians *ere notional and treacherous and must t be me with guile."And,to tell you the • real trut, Paul, I in't a game warden just .now.; -I've taken a job cruising for ties and skip - knees. - Besides, this is - over the border and out of - my jurisdiction anyhow!" "Wardenor no warden, I am not afraid to tell you what I have told others, Mr. Wallin. I have the treaties in which the right is given to -the Algonquins , and the Tarratines to hunt the woods and fifth the streams and take- Basket. wood •and bark for- ever. •I hope to make enough noise about - it in '.he world so that the white man will hear and be ashamed. I did not kill this deer for sport -I killed it because 1 was hungryy. So have the other Indians hunted and killed, - and they have been put into jails." "That's right! Law says jail, In- dian or - no Indian." He gave the sane ironic - twist to "Indian" that Paul had applied to "warden." "My fathers were here before your fathers came. The white men gave us treaties. They have never allow- ed us to vote and help make the laws. I do not accept a .law that is counter to our treaties." "Never heard of any writing that -gives Indians the right to hunt and fish the year round. Reckon if there was anything- of that sort the men who make the laws would have heard about it." "A good many men who make laws have never . heard of justice." "Guess I won't argue the - thing with you." "No, it's not worth while. The1 fact that, of all the tribes, only about five hundred Indians are left between here and the sea seems to show that we'd have done better never to argue with white men." B7 HOLMAN DAT HARPER & BROTHERS (Continued from Last week.)` "Am suiting -ye as one fit to be trusted wi' the re -responsibility I have?" - "You are faithful and honest and I value you very highly. My father spoke well - of you, Kilbeck." - "Thot's for my credit, num, and what you say is for my high honor. I'm pleased.

"May - I know what the personal matter was?" , "Wull, I'll say, because I want ut,' known by you thot ut had naught to do wi' the job. He threatened me because I talked a bit sharp to him after he had kicked a cat!" Mr. Kilbeck's air of innocency en- dured the test she made with her eyes. After prolonged - scrutiny she went away, walking slowly like one who was in deep thought. Mr. Kilbeck blew a puff of breath into the ear of the cat in his arms. The cat flicked the ear vigorously. "Tickles? Eh, auld mouser, what?" CHAPTER XXV Warden Wallin catches his perfectly good Indian,..and then, in the com- pany of others, catches something else. After a time it became Game War- den Jesse -Wallin's profane opinion that a few _days' devotion to gin and melody had caused him to "lose a perfectly good Ind'ian." - The warden had prolonged his stay at Dolan's House. He had not believ- ed that Sabatis would leave the valley of the Toban. When the warden finally set out for up -river he found that he was chasing a man who was always a few days in the lead; Wal- lin showed his blue badge, asked plenty of questions, and got that in- formation. - At the Sickle -hook take-out he learned that his quarry had gone over the height of land by way of the long portage. - Mr. Wallin had a streak of natural laziness that had been - considerably amplified by his hospital rest -periods. - Ordinarily Mr. Wallin would have quit at the Sickle -hook; he knew what the - job of "shaggin,g a canoe" to the Black Water would amount to in the way of sweat and strength. But Mr. -Wallin had work - cd himself up to a : particularly ugly mood. He had started his "back- fire" propaganda along the river, re -- porting that Sabatis was a self -de- clared outlaw and must be caught. Therefore men were expecting War- den Wallin to- perform! He kept on going and grew uglier. No Indian had -any right to make so much work for an officer! After he was in the Black Water the pursuer was feroci- ous. In those solitudes, he was, to be sure, safer from troublesome espionage in the job he proposed to put over; but the wilderness had swalloweq. up the quarry. Wallin was obliged to do some, ,guessing as to the route Sabatis had taken, but,. as he thought on it, it seemed "prob- able that the Indian had kept on across the lakes, seeking the outlet which flowed down into the Lauren- tian Valley. The lig elihood that Sabatis was over the order, out of the States, had no effect on the officer's determ- ination. He was not allowing any consideration of intternation'al law to conflict with strictly personal busi- ness. . But the strong winds from the north cuffed the white -caps down the lakes o. days, and Mr. Wallin damned the head -winds and was obliged to loaf away the hours of sunlight in sheltered coves, brewing his tea and frizzling his bacon. When the winds were hushed in the night he paddled along under the stars, holding so close to the shore that he could hear the expiring waves splash- ing against the rocks. Here and there, now and then, he saw the flicker of a camp -fire and hailed and went ashore, and made friends with timber -cruisers and other forest- stragglers. „ Therefore, by dint of this persistency, one night he came upon Paul Sabatis, who had riot hurried after he came to the lakes. . ' The young man greeted the Warden unsupiciously and' went on tending the fire which had been a beacon for the pursuer. It was not an ordinary cook -fire; it was partly banked by sweet duff and dried- fungi which sent up much smoke; a funnel of hemlock bark led the smoke to a bark box. It was a forest smoke -house. The Warden smelled the odor of cur- ing flesh and he saw part of the carcass of a deer hanging from a tree. "Help yourself," invited Paul. "Being a game warden," returned Mr. Wallin, loftily, "I reckon - I'd be poisoned eating off . any deer killed by a man who hasn't • taken out a regular hunting license" "I haven't taken out any license." "I reckoned you hadn't. I have heard the word you have been giving out!" The Indian straightened up - from the fire. "Are you here to arrest Greece, by royal decree, has adopt- - me?" - -ed 24-hour time for general use. 1 "Good Lord, no!" expostulated Mr. "Can't keep on living in bow -and -a arrer days," observed Mr. Wallin, sagely. "I suppose that's the business man's way of looking at it. Probably I am a fool to take an Indian viewpoint." He turned back to his fir,e. Mr. Wallin lighted ` his pipe and settled down with the air of a man who proposed,to stop• for a while. "Some of these high -schools, so it has seemed to me, put a lot of fool notions into young noddles. I'm glad I kept away from schools when I was young. It has always seemed to me that I can take a more common* -sense view of things than most of these educated high -tones that I have seen. Always got along all right by using my owh head instead of borrowing book learning." It occurred to Mr. Wallin that probably no book gave really worth -while and explicit direc- tions how to make an outlaw and then make profitable use of said outlaw. After his hard chase -he had at last came up with this visible • and valu- - able -i equ valent of ready money and of cozy rest in the - society of mini- stering. There was no weakening of determination. Mr. Wallin had much dogged grit; it was a nasty job, he reflected, but he looked beyond it to an alluring prospect of pleasure. Hp sat and gazed in, the Indian with quite a complacent air of proprietor- ship; Sabatis was only a redskin; the fact that he had been to college gave Mr. Wallin poorer opinion - of the young man's worth than other- wise. The warden had had excellent luck in the self -infliction of wounds; he nestled his arm against his side to !-take sure of the comforting presence in his shirt pocket of his iodine, his antispetic medicament, of his home-made tourniquet -a strap of leather armed ,-} K�ith anovershoe snap- buckle. Ile halt not ' made up his mind into what part of himself " he would put a bullet; he had his doc- tored! cartridge ready. He decided that he would make up his mind about the .character of the wound after he had conveyed Paul back across the herder and was in reach of aid. The young man did not speak to Wallin again. - After a time Paul banked' . the smoke -fire with damp moss, buttoned his .jacket closely, and lay down, his head upon his pack. Either he had no suspicion that the warden intend- ed mischief or he contemptuously disregarded danger from , such a source. . - He slept and Wallin puffed his pipe and waited. The pursuer was in fine form to keep a vigil; he had been sleeping days while the head- winds cuffed' up whitecaps. When he decided that he was ready for opera- tions, he put his pipe in his pocket and went to his canoe, tiptoeing in his moccasins. From his pack he obtained two lengths of new clothes- line which he had soaped and worked into pliable condition. They were slip -nooses, with braided eye -splices and well-placed catch -knots. Sabatis lay on his back, - his feet together, and slept with Indian in- difference as to shelter. Wallin crept to him, holding one piece of rope looped and ready on his forearm. The ground was un- even and the - warden was able to slide one end of the other piece of rope under Paul's legs; he slipped the end through the eye -splice, and then, standing astride the young man's body, .he threw the noose taut with a jerk. He hada had experience in that mode of capture; as he ex- pected, Sabatis snapped up into a sitting posture and Wallin dropped USE "DIAMOND DYES" Dye right!

"Then you'll have to take this other one, you damned sneak!" Sabatis shouted, no longe' able to endure this insufferable effrontery. "I give you fair warning that I shall play this game after this on your own _ dirty basis. Look out for yourself." "Looking out for myself has always stomach, frequent vomitting, rumbl- ing in stomach,, bitter eructations, gas, wind and stomach acidity and call it indigestion when in reality their trouble is due to. _gastric catarrh of the stomach," writa New York physician. =" Catarrh of the stomach is danger- ous because - the - mucous, membrane lining of the stomach is thickened and a coating of phlegm covers the surface so that the digestive fluids cannot mix with the food and digest them. This condition soon breeds disease in the fermented, unassimilat- ed food. Theblood is polluted and carries the infection throughout the body. Gastric -ulcers - are apt to form and frequently an ulcer is the first sign of a- deadily cancer. In calfarrh of the stomach a good and safe treatment is to take before meals a teaspoonful of pure Bisurated Magnesia in half a 'glass of hot water as hot as you can comfortably - drink it. The hot water washes the mucous from the stomach walls and draws the blood to the stomach while the bisurated magnesia is an excel- lent solvent for mucus and incr'eas'es the efficiency of the hot water treat- ment. Moreover the Bjsurated Mag- nesia will serve as a powerful but harmless antacid which will neutra- lize any 'excess hydrochloric acid that may be , in - your stomach and sweeten its food contents. Easy, natural digestion 'without distress of any kind should soon follow. Bis- urated Magnesia is not a laxative, is harmless, pleasant and easy to take and) can be obtained from any local druggist. Don't confuse Bisurated Magnesia with other forms of mag- nesia, milks, citrates,. etc., but 'get it in the pure bisurated=:form (powder or tablets), especially prepared for this purpose. E.

"No, I'm playing cat's -cradle with you." The first part of the hateful job has been attended' to, and the warden was willing to be humorous according to his lights. • "You yourself dfeclared that -you're out of your jurisdiction; as you put it." , "You don't. think I 'shall tell judge and jury where ..I ..arse te4..

So don't be surprised .at anything you hear me say." "I shall not contradict you, Wallin.

But you won't be back here for a long time. No, need of my fooling with an extra canoe. Hop!" The warden kicked down the little smokehouse and trampled on the fire; he carried away the meat. Paul made the best of this way to the warden's canoe and, rolled into it and kept still; he wore . the air of a man who knew that further appeal would be self -insult; it would feed Wallin's sense of importance; the warden had assumed the domineering bluster and the bawling tone with which the coarse dolts of policedom try to emphasize authority. The warden lighted a lantern and arranged) its reflector so that he could observe every motion made by the captive. When they were on -their way down the lake Wallin- showed a W,ilIingness to talk, but Sabatis turn- ed away his face and shut his eyes. His arms ached, his feet were numb, protest raged in him, but he argued and complained no more. After the sun came up Wallin be- gan a continuous 'growl of anathema; the wind had' shifted to- the southwest and he viewed the change, if one could judge from his language, as -something calcdlatedi by the higher forces for his sole and personal in- convenience. He Was compelled to, go ashore. He built a fire and fed his prisoner, who resolutely refused to engage in conversation, even though the captor loosed the ropes enough so that Sabatis could lift panda to his mouth. The warden soon found relief from this unsociability; two other voyagers from the north, who had stuck it out longer than Mr. Wallin because there were two paddles to his one, tossed around the point and' came ashore through frothing w s when they spied men and a amp -fire. They joined with Mr. W llin in an amiable chorus of curses f r the wind, they produced a big bot le of white runs, and they heard what the warden had to say about the desperate character of his prisoner. Mr. Wallin - lied frankly and unashamed' and elaborate- ly, without bothering himself to draw apart from Paul's hearing. In spite of their friendly manners, these visitors were unwelcome; they had obliged Mr. Wallin to change his "How Delicious" is the' opiates � off`'.
