Offers Lite for Debt Five-Part Laskey Comedy Contains Amusing Situations and is Exceedingly Well I'laycd There are situations that move to mirth in "After Five", the five-part modern comedy in which Edward Abeles has the leading role. Mr, Mr. Abeles is finely supported by Theodore Roberts and Succo Hayaka wa. The script is founded on the play by William C. and Cecil R. De Millc and it is fair to assume that these men made the aduption. The story duals with the efforts of Ted Ewing a guard ian, to reimburse through a life itisur ancc policy the ward whose money he l.as been responsible for losing. Ew ing previously has laughed at black mailers who demanded money. Later he comes to the conclusion that these mon may be of service in accomplish ing tho destruction which, by the sui cide clause, he is proscribed from per sonally bringing about. For a long time he is in terror, awaiting the ex pected "accident". Later, when he dis covers that his investment has doubl ed, he is in a worse panic, as he ende avors to get word to the blackmailers that he will pay them an increased price to cancel the agreement. The story proceeds logically from a beginning that may strain the creduli ty of some i. e, that n young man in good health will undertake to sacrifice his life in order that he may by that means raise money to restore to his ward and sweetheart money he had lost. New York City and Maine are supposed to bo tho localities in which the action lies. As to the latter there aro many picturesque snow scones finely photographed. "After Five" will rank as good comedy. The work of the players is commendable. Mr. Abeles has now had considerable screen experience und his portrayal indicates it. Air Roberts gives a fine interpretation o( tho polislied chief of the blackmailers Young Ilayaknwa is n finished actor and is strong either in light or serious moments.

It was an action against an Insur ance company In a civil court to re cover the value of a quartz mill that had been burned. The defendant In troduced the former foreman of the mill, who testified that the plaintiff had admitted to him that ho had set Arc to the mill In order to get the Insurance money. The presiding judge knew the wit ness and had n very low opinion of his veracity. He also knew the plain tllT to Lh nn honorable and upright man, wherefore he burst forth with tho remark. "Everybody knows that to be a lie." Whereupon the counsel for tho In surance company sprang to his feet In a rage. "1 object to the language of tho court," said he.

Romance of a BackYard By DWICil' NORWOOD One morning, going to my window, which Is In the rear of the house and looks out on the back windows of houses on another street, I saw a tiny white handkerchief pinned to the win dow sill. The same afternoon, going to my room. I was nbout to open the blinds v. ien I saw through the slats a pretty gi.l kiss her hand to some oue in the house adjoining my domicile. She at once disappeared, but It was evident that a flirtation, perhaps one that had developed Into an affair of the heart, was In progress. After this I saw many a signal In the window opposite which I would probably not have recognized as such had I not seen the throwing of the kiss. My next door neighbor, of course, I could not see, but 1 had noticed a good looking young man going and com ing, and 1 presumed that ho was the fortunate possessor of the young lady's favor. I was one afternoon sitting nt my "Window, with the blinds closed, when through a crack between the slats I saw a pantomime between the lovers. The girl looked down Into her back yard and shook her head. After she had left her window 1 looked down Into his back yard myself. It was In closed In a high brick wall topped with broken glass. I was not long in deciphering the pantomime. The girl had put a veto on her lover's under taking to effect an entrance to her premises over the wall. About a week after this 1 saw a ne gro bring a barrel Into the back yaid through a rear basement door. He set It down very carefully and turned to go away. He had taken but a few steps when he turned, went back to the barrel ami busied himself examin ing the head, which I could see was not fastened In the usual way. While he was doing this his lips moved. Moreover, I saw something passed from the barrel to his hand. Present ly he went away again and this time disappeared through the basement door I was reading a love story without words, or, rather, was seeing one en acted, not on the stage, but lu real life. It stiuck me that something would oc cur lu the premises on the other side of the wall. Should I be mean enough to spy with a view to satisfying my ctiilnslty? Would it be mean to enjoy what I could of a drama lu rent life? The barrel was deposited shortly be fore my dinner hour, which was 0 o'clock. After dinner darkness hnd fallen. Without turning on my lights I took a seat at the window. The space between my home nnd the houses In the renr of It was dimly vis ible from the lights of the houses diliilng upon It. I could barely discern the barrel standing where It had been placed. Not caring to reveal myself by lighting my room, I concluded to while away the time In the darkness by smoking. I had consumed half a dozen Igarettes and was thinking that If there was any one In the barrel ho must be pretty well cramped when something rose out of Its top end. There was a pause: then something larger followed. Curiosity sharpened my eyes, and 1 saw a bulk that looked like a man's llgureget out of the barrel, lake It up and proceed with It to a cor ner In the wall, where he was hidden from me I fancied he was using the barrel for concealment from the oppo site direction. "That's the last of him for me," I remarked, "till the lights are put out" Nevertheless I was too Interested to leave my post. 1 smoked till I fell asleep. When I awoke It was 11 o'clock, and there was but one light In the house visible to me. and that was In the room of tho heroine of my story. As 1 looked It was turned off. I was now thoroughly nwake nnd be lieved that I had no great time to wait to see something more. I was right. Not long after the last light was turned off I saw the sace occupied by the basement door of the house I was wal blag grow darker. Indicating that the door was being opened. Then something stood In the opening. A dark sjKit tinted from the wall to the door, entered and the door closed. 1 regretted that the elopement for such I believed It to bo could not have been effected over the rear wall, where I could have seen It. They would go out thTi-out basement door. I went to bed and had Just fallen asleep when I heard the crack of a pistol. Itlslug. I looked through tho window at the house of my story. The Lm-vmcnt and the two upper Hoots were lighted. I saw ilgures passing, beforo the windows, but heard nothing. Aft er awhile the lights began to be turned off, and lu lime all was again dark. The next morning I saw lu my news impcr an account of an attempted rob bery of preinUos "11 ICI lit street. The pollcu wore called u, '-tit ilm robber hat' .wi-Nped nobody hurt, nothing lust.

Nervous Women In Particular Should Bo Kind to Thomsolvos. One of the important things to know lu life, especially If you are a woman. Is how to let yourself nlone. The ubll Ity to reins, the nrt of being Judiciously lazy, the tact to let herself alone, has saved many a woman from n nervous breakdown. We all know tho house wife who nags herself Into such n state of conscientiousness that she cannot rest. If she lies down she is continually worrying herself with thoughts of the work that she is neg lecting. Much of tlx? blame for this state of , nffalrs lies nt the doors of the mothers. J The mistake Is In their training of their children, especially their daugh ters. They are taught from earliest Infancy to be kind to others, to bear with them, to forgive them, to help them, hut from birth to death no oue ever tells them to be kind, also, to themselves. The woman who nngsicrsclf can make herself more miserable than nny one else iiosslbly could. She can make her life more of a nightmare than any misfortune could possibly make it. If such women could learn to be kinder to themselves there Is no doubt that their own lives would be lengthened, and not only thnt, but the lives of those with whom they come In close contact would be made far more pleas antMary Carolyn Davles iu Mother's Magazine. CHEERED BY HIS FOES. An Incident In the Career of the Duke of Wellington. While the Iron Duko was still Mar quis of Wellington he went from Paris to Toulouse, where he had fought ami won the last battle of the Peninsular war. He attended the opera that tlrst evening, and, though he wore plain clothes and sat lu the back of tiie box, he was almost immediately recognized by some one In the orchestra chairs, who called out. "Wellington!" The name was taken up by others, and at last the entire house rose, turn ed to the box und called, "Vive Welling ton!"' Nor would the people be satisfied uu til he had stood up and bowed to them, when he was cheered and applauded again. At the conclusion of the per formance the passage from the box wns found to be crowded with people. Tliu women of the party drew back nervously, but the duko said "Come along!" In his brusque way and con ducted them on. While they were still lu the corridor a man Iu tho crowd was heard to say to his companion: "Put why are you applauding so much? He has always beaten ust" This wu'h very true, and the question seemed a natural one, but the answer was charming: "Yes, but he has always beaten us like a gentleman." Washington Star. Your "Funny Bone." When you bump your nose or chin you bump the tlesh nud bone and nut a nerve. Consequently you feel a seu satlou of pain Just where the blow was struck. If you strike the point of your elbow It will be Just the same. It's only when you strike that little hollow between tho big central bone of the el bow and the little Inside bone that the tickling, tingling sensation Is felt. In the little hollow you strike oue of the large trunk nerves thnt spring between the vertebra at the base of the neck and run through the arm to tho wrlsL lu the hollow of the elbow tho nerve lies over a bone. When you strike that spot you feel a tingling sensation which Isn't exactly funny, but because It tickles the bone Is called the "funny bone." Milwaukee Journal. First Sea Signals.

What Is Now a Dry Plain Wai Once the Bed of a Great Sea. South of Platte river, opposite North Iteml, Neb., the bluffs are conspicu ous and consist of loess and glacial drift, ovprlyiug the llentou shale. This shale was formed when Nebraska was at the bottom of a sea. ICvldence of the former presence here of sea water Is found Ui the fossil shells of oysters and other animals that live In salt wa ter and the bones of such sen monsters as the mosasaurus. A comparison of these ancient condi tions with those of the present day in dicates the slow, continuous change that Is now and nlways has been In progress. Where the tourist now trav els comfortably over a dry plain these monsters sported In the water of the sea long ages ago.
