What Others' Think. '
Miss Grace Cameron aa Nancy, in
ihe play of that name, began three
night's engagement, pn Sunday even
ing' at the Colonial theatre. "Nancy"
is the story of rural and city life in
New .York state, throughout 'which
tha author has distributed amlles and
tears with, a Javiah, hand, Bays the
Bait Lake Tribune.;. At first , Nancy
is lery unpromising. She i a simple
ggllng girl, utterly , irresponsible,
and .whose . child-love, is brutally ' re;
pulsed by her father. . The;; father
lives only for Flora, his eldest daugh
ter, who poses to binx'aa a reigning
society queen, of New York City, but
who, ... la reality . is a ember of a
tough theatrical company . ana
doubtful 'morals. ', ; "
j To keep .this daughter in comfor
table circumstances as he thought,
but really, to keep the show going for
her lover, -the father disposes' of all
hlB earthly goads', reduces himself and
Nanc. to. poverty, that the New York
girl might Jive her , life, She comes
home, for Christmas demanding mon
ey,' ana . wnep tni ,w roiunou uo
steals the only thing left to the little
family, a pair of .earrings which are
heirlooms, and .escapes, Jroni the old
home. .' Nancy accused by the old
man, :being;the .thief. and Is sent
out into tbe, world on "the ,eold night,
when all the world ls( expected to be,
happy and full of forglvenees, in the
most approved , te'ar-produclng fash
Ion. But Nancy makes good despite
her natural handicaps, the sinning
sister is humbled and a good taste 1b
left in the mouth at tbe end.
Miss Cameron 'as Nancy was the
center about which', everything? re
volved, and ahe, swayed her audience
with her humor and .'pathos at her
will. She was in splendid voice' in
acts two and three with the songs,
"Good-bye, My Dear Old Home" and
"If Adam Had never Been Introduced
to Eve." Miss ; Louise Wagner aB
Flora maintained an unlikeable part
with pleasing ability, having that use
ful asset, beauty. Al.- C. Newman as
Ezra Peckham looked and acted the
mart of the , farmer father, , and the
company throughout was t able ana
enjoyable. '.'-.; ,; r1.;.

'l never did but one good act in my
life," said the old counterfeiter.' "There
wasn't much credit In it to me, but It
was productive of a lot of happiness to
ethers." It occurred, many years ago.
and an. 1 am now, a vy old. man and
haw h vH-y.long, troubled life to look
back upon. Including several terms In
the penitentiary, it stands out from the
rest of my acts in odd contraat - !
was m the summer of 1859 that
several of us got together In a north
ern city and manufactured, a niuaber
of twenty dollar counterfeit bills. Aa
soon as We bud 'finlsbeu the Job we
destrpyed the outfit divided ,the bills
and 'started for different' parts of the
country to put them out on the public,
my section being the south. ' Boarding
one of the crack steamers of that day,
I started for New Orleana In order
the better to impose on people I dress
ed , myself in ministerial black and
wore a. white cravat , I had been an
actor and could personate a clergyman,
or atjy one ' else, for that matter, to
perfection. . , . ' :
"The main cabin of the steamers run
ning on tbe Mississippi river in those
days, when tbe table was not set for
meals, was occupied principally for
gambling. Poker, seven-up, euchre and
other games were played, though the
parties playing were not large and of
ten two persons only occupied a table.
I was sitting on the guards one day
when a negro came out of the cabin,
wringing his hands.
" 'What's the matter,,boyr I asked.
" " 'Mars done gone lose me to a nig
gah trader. . Ma wife an pickaninnies
won't nebber see me no moV : '
"I found that his master, a planter,
had taken him to Cairo as his body
Bervant, Vas returning, had lost all
the money he had with him at cards,
staked his darky and lost him too.
1 went Into the cabin, where the'plant
er and the trader .were settling up,
the planter being at the moment occu
pied In making out a bill of sale for
the slave. .' . ' ' v '
"1 beg your pardon, sir 1 said to
the planter. ; 'On account of my voca
tion I am opposed, of course, to gam
bling In any form; but I dislike ex
ceedingly the separation of families.
I understand that you . have lost your
negro.; I would be pleased to lend you
the money to win him back.'
' "The gentleman accepted the offer,
I brought out some new", crisp" bills,
Just from tbe press, and the' game
started anew. . It, was euchre. I soon
saw that the gambler could go on
winning from the 'trader all day if he
liked, for the former was perpetrating
one of the commonest tricks on' him
that Is, turning Jack.'; In other words,
when he dealt he would always turn
up a knave for himself. . Seeing this
and other cheating, I interfered. , I
told him that 1 had learned the game
before becoming a clergyman and In
sisted' od taking the planter's place.
Since I was backing the latter he was
obliged to yield to me in the matter,
which he did with a bad grace.
"I had not only , learned the' game
'before becoming a clergyman,' but
all the tricks that went with It and
many other games. . I walked into that
card sharper in a way that opened his
eyes. The negro at stake had follow
ed me Into the cabin and was standing
watching the game with bulging eyeay
It was hard for me to keep a straight
face, playing as 1 was, a supposed min
ister of the gospel, with counterfeit
money and doing as neat bits of thim
blerigging as had ever been prac
tice on that palatial steamboat Tbe
negro trader was not a professional
card sharper, though he didn't hesitate
to cheat tbe planter, and never dream
ed that the somber man, before him In
a spotless white necktie was placing
the cards exactly where he wanted
them.,. ,
"Of course .1 soon won the darky
for his master. Then I arose from the
table, delivered a homily on the sin of
gambling and returned to the guards.
I was followed by the planter,' who
said to me:
" Te'mit me, sub, to say to yo that
yo're.the flrstman of the cloth that
has eveb obtained my unbounded re -
speci, sun. xo' nave savea my . boy, '
sun,' from- being separated from his
wife and children, an act fo which I

MbMT'rrL If yo' win accept it it

'I thanked the gentleman for bis c'-1
fer, but declined It VTLcn we reach
ed his landing be Insisted so l.eartl'.y
cpon my, visiting him at his-plantation
that I onwnted.
"I was made welcome by bl9 family.
and tbe wife and children of tbe negro
1 bad saved from the trader came to
the bouse with tears la their eyes to
thank me. . I was a good looking jouhj
fellow In those days and could see
that I made en impression on cne of
the planter's daughters. I bad every
thing at my .disposal to perpetrate any
rascality 1 might choose. ' 1 could get
the planter's indorsement which would
enable me to dispose of my ;'feen
goods.' and I believed 1 could wla.hls
daughter. - , .
"I did neither.'. For a brief season 1
enjoyed the Sensation of being a fine
fellow. During thatlme permitted
myself to feel the part Just as an actor
will feel the character be is person&t
ing. Then when it was over I depart
ea. resistta with Clfflculty the re
proachful look of the girl who favored
