Side Are Promised.
THE BRACEBRIDGE DIAMONDS
A Thrilling Story of Mystery and Adventure
Amelia BinghAm in "A Modern Lady
Codfva” in the interesting announce
ment of the management of the Grand
for Monday and Tuesday next. Mies
Bingham Is an established favorite, and
her visit in any vehicle would he of
unusual importance. That sho will he
seen in so novel and clever a drama as
report declares “A Modern Lady Oodl-
va” to be, makes the event of more
than ordinary Interest. Miss Bingham
has beauty, magnetism, a great gift of
comedy and rare emotional ability. A
reading of the synopsis of her new
play Indicates that It gives her all the
needed scope for the display of her
versatility. The story concerns a beau
tiful woman who sacrifices her natu
ral delicacy of feeling so far as to
pose for a painting of I^idy Godlv
Coventry. In order to secure money to
save the life of an invalid hUMband, he,
of coarse, being in Ignorance that she
has done so. When he has regained
his health he sees the picture, finding
It in the hands of his avowed enemy.
The basic them© is new, nnd, from all
reports, Frederick F. Schrader and
Lloyd M. Bingham, the authors, have
evolved from It a moving and logical
drama. Miss Bingham’s company was
selected with great care, each player
being well fitted to the, part assigned,
with the result that the play Is forcibly
presented and the performance excel
lently rounded. The principal members
of the cast are W. L. Abingdon, Frank
Hollis. J. Gordon Edwards, Hugh Cam
eron, Jane Gordon. Adelaide Wesley
and others of equal prominence.
There will be a matinee Tuesday.
“The Man of the Hour."
The rnuch-falked-of Broad hurst |Hay,
“The Man of the Hour,” under the
direction of William A. Brady nnd Jo
seph. R. Grlsmer, is to he presented for
the first time In this city at the Grand
Friday and Saturday of next weok for
three performances. According to u!(
reports received from New York and
Chicago, in which tne play has been
presented, the consensus of opinions
appear to be that It Is a.play of excep
tional strength, telling forcibly a pow
erful dramatic story. While Mr. Broad-
hurst lias taken for his central theme
the political situation as It exists in
nearly every city in the country where
there are “machine” politics nnd
“graft." he has also interwoven what
is said to he a delightful love story.
“Way Dou p East" opened an engage
ment at the Grand Friday night, which
will include a matinee Saturday, and
will conclude with a performance Sat
urday night.
To u person who cares for something
more recent than ancient history and a
little more original than the Ten Com
mandments disguised and somewhat
perverted, “Way Down East" was mere
ly one of those catastrophes which are
bound to happen every once anil awhile.
To one who likes any play that Is
“paatoml.” where the heroine is nlway
wronged, but suffers in silence; where
a foolish, giggling country boy Is al
ways the comedy role; where the vil
lain Is always immaculately attired in
striking «xjntrast to the rustic grab of
the simple hero; where the villain Is
thwarted, the heroine Is restored to
good standing and marries the hero, and
where everybody lives lmppll.v there
after—to these “Way Down East" Is
the best ever, nnd “these” were there In
large numbers Friday night anti ap
plauded freely.
The east is fair. Grace Hopkins ns
Anna Moore, Eddie Heron a* HI Holler,
and c, H. White as Lennox Sanderson
were* acceptable. Little more can be
said of the play than that It consists of
four acts, two middle opes and two out-

ask for advertised articles, but abso
lutely none why you should let a sub
stituting denier palm off something
which he claims to he "just as good”
or "better” or "the same thing” as the
article you requested.
The advertised article must of ne

rwise It could not bo successfully sold
and the advertising continued.
The buying public recognizes the su
perior quality of advertised articles.
The substitutin' realizes that fact and

Protect Yourself by Refuting Substi
tutes.
A hunch of good things is promised
for the South Side theater for the week
beginning Monday afternoon and con
tinuing dnlly witli double night per
formances. To satisfy the desire for
new vaudeville acts the management
has made a search of the East and se
cured a strong program, which should
delight the most critical. Higley &
Snow, a clever comedy pair, will put on
a singing and dancing turn which will
afford them ample opportunity to dis
port their rich fund of humor. Harry
Hornbecker, the slack-wire wonder, will
make his debut In Atlanta at this time.
Ppon a swinging rope of steel ho walks
and dances with the ease and grace of a
danseuso on a polished floor.
William Dorsey, the premier black
face comedian, is booked to follow, and
for a straightaway laughing monologue
ho is said to have few equals In the
country. His medley is claimed to be
very clever and original. Miss Dushan,
the so ft-shoe dancer, whose shadow
dance was a feature at the * uptown
theater this week, will go to the South
Side for a week, where she is sure to
repeat her success. Miss De Mund,
whose rich soprano voice has never
been heard in the city before, will sing
the illustrated songs for the week. The
South Side vltnscopo with comedy films
concludes the program.
“Playing the Ponies," a musical com
edy in which B. E. Forrester will pre
sent the well known comedians, Yorke
and Adams, and their company of fifty
fun makers at the Bijou next week,
bears the distinction of containing in
its roster the names of many of the
best known stellar lights of the operatic
and Vaudeville stage, among them be
ing Hobby Harrington, J. Aldrich Lib-
bey, Maud Campbell, Juliet Wood,
Catherine Trnyer, Arthur Sullivan.

The book of the piece was written
by Aaron HolTrnan, author of tht*ir past
success, “Bankers and Brokers.” Es
pecial attention has been given to the
costuming and mounting. The scenery
Is from the studio of Alberts, the
famous artists, and the electrical ef
fects were produced by Klelgl Brothers
of New York. All in all, the perform
ers promise pleasure and satisfaction.
The music is jaunty and fetching and
the surroundings are brilliant nnd at
tractive. "Playing the ponies” is new,
clean and novel. The song hits include
such New York successes as “A Day
at the Races,” “Have a Good Time,”
“Enjoy Yourself," “Love, Love, Love,”
"When the Moon Plays Peek-a-Boo,”
“I Would Like to Flirt With You,”

A Hunted Man.
The woman I sought!” cried Basil
Thurston, as he extended his hands
to the beautiful woman. "My quest
has not been In vain. Of your exist
ence I heard In Russia, where I Jour
neyed to unravel the career of that
unparalleled scoundrel. Of his abuse
of you and your Justifiable hatred for
him T have learned.
"But I can also tell you another thing
—that he has lost his power as the fa
vored spy of the Russian cabinet. His
double dealing and avarice that have
led to his betraying their secrets to
other nations were revealed through
my efforts, and now he is a proscribed
and hunted man by the despots, who
seek his life as eagerly os do the revo
lutionists he has betrayed so often.

Basil related the story of his re
search. Inspired by his love for Sylvia,
who still sought vengeance on the slay
er of her brother. That Mme. 81a-
vlnsky was in New York they had
learned and had found her stopping
place and arrived a few minutes after

CHAPTER CV.
Above the Andes.
Three days later a South American
sun beamed down upon one of the
strangest scenes its rays had ever
lighted. Gleaming back against the
silvered peaks of the mighty Andes,
above the tops of many of which It
soared, a cigar-shaped thing with
whirling sldewheels and undulating
rudder was darting.
So high above the ground that to
oven the keen-sighted pampas dwell
ers gazing up through the clear air It
resembled little save a gigantic condor,
yet in a tiny cabin four muffled hu
man beJngs gathered peering straight
and eagerly ahead. At the prow an
other, as closely muffled, turned a
wheel as of an automobile, while the
airship answered the guiding hands
unhesitatingly.
All eyes were bent upon a black
speck many miles ahead, and field
glasses In the hands of all were turn
ed toward It. Hesitancy, resulting
from the great range, had hushed all
until suddenly an exulting cry burst
forth from a woman’s throat.
“It is he!” cried Sylvia Thurston. “It
Is an airship, and 1 can see a form
moving about. Our time of vengeance
has come!"
Almost st the same Instance the
eyes of the others had assured them
selves that the woman's sight had
been true. The chase that had extend
ed over thousands of miles had not
been in vain.
At the steering wheel Frank Brace-
bridge heaved a sigh of relief. At last
ho was to close with the man who had
entered his life seemingly with the sole
Intent of Injuring those he loved.
In the airship ahead Carl Mueller
apparently^ was not attempting to es
cape from the larger boat that swoop- j
ed down upon him. Through his field
glasses he must have long since recog- I
nlsed his pursuers, hut seemingly their I
approach concerned him little. The!
airship guided by him was swooping!
about In a huge circle, and as the Iurg- i
or boat drew nearer they saw the man’s
eyes were directed to the earth below. |
Involuntarily their eyes followed his I
and a cry burst from Frank and Lof- j
tus:
“The lost dlumond mine!”
In a valley formed by the Joining j
together of three mighty peaks a queer j
sight met their gaze. Evidences of hu
man habitation and human arts were j
many, the first the aerial navigators
had seen since they penetrated the
mountains. Evidence also of a
the airship was still speeding toward
Mueller’s when a shot rang^otit. A
bullet whistled close beside the head
of the pilot, narrowly missing the car.
“Is that evidence of my good inten
tions?” called Dr. Mueller. “Stop, I tell
you!”
“Better stop, Frank,” advised Loftus,
as he approached Bracebrldge; “that
fellow has got some mighty good shoot
ing Irons and knows how to use them.
If he hits you It’s good night to the
rest of us. We can’t run the car.”
“Can’t we come to terms In this mat
ter?” Mueller called. “If you will per
mit me one day In the diamond mine
and allow me to depart I prorrilse never
more to return to America and to dis
appear from your lives forever."
“That you can never do!" cried
Frank Bracebrldge. “The only terms
we will accept from you are that you
place yourself in our custody to be de
livered over to the law you have out
raged."
He again disappeared In the cabin
and a moment later reappeared ac
companied by a woman who was in
stantly recognized as Nurse Mason. In
her arms she bore a tiny babe.
As Mueller beckoned them to draw
nearer he reached over and took the
child from her arms.
“Do you recognize it?” he called.
“Rita’s child!” gasped Mme. Slavln-
sky, and Frank said quietly: "Yes, it
Is the child of Reginalds Bracebrldge
and the woman you murdered.”
"We will not discuss that,” said
Mueller. "Just now It is mine and my
trump cord. What is it# life worth to
you?”
"What do you mean?" shouted Frank

A short distance away a great plat

shaken by the seismic disturbance that
had brought death to Its votaries.
Across Its top the whitened skele
ton of a man lay. It was that of a man
of gigantic stature, and the right arm
was stretched forth even in death as
If to grasp or command.
“It is the head priest.” whispered
Frank, almost reverently. "He who
pronounced the curse.”
"Then there must be the diamond
mine," said Loftus.
Frank nodded his head.
Then their attention, momentarily
distracted from Mueller, was again
riveted upon him ns he called to them.
Although almost a half-mile away, his
voice rang clearly in their ears through
the rarefied.atmosphere.
“Mr. Bracebrldge. you have had
long chase. Now is it not time for you
to turn bark?”
Muttering a curse at his insolence,
Frank called out sharply:
Yes, we shall start back In a short
accompany us, either
corpse."
You ate mistaken again, you fool,"
rang out the sneering voice, and both
women shuddered at the memories It
awakened.
“Do you not suppose ! knew you
would pursue and made preparations?”
Mueller continued. ‘Stop where you

I will follow hint to the end of the

“No," rang out three voices os one,
and Frank Bracebrldge leaned over and
placed his hand on the shoulder of the
vengeful woman. "You are right; the
earth has been too long burdened with
that man. Tomorrow my airship will
be put In commission and we will follow
him, even to the ends of the earth."
As the quartet who had suffered at

over the compact, ‘Detective Loftus
