Two High Class at the Grand For Next ' Week. “Playing the Ponies” Is On All the Week With a Good Company. Three Big Features and Some Novelties on the 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- DALLAS AND BENNET AT THE GRAND.

GOOD COMEDY BILL AT THEJOUTHSIDE Higley and Snow and Wil liam Dorsey Among Attractions Booked. Get What You Ask For. There are many reasons why you 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 cessity be of the highest quality, oth- rwise It could not bo successfully sold and the advertising continued.

CHAPTER CIV. 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. The careor of Carl Mueller Is fast end ing.’’ . 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 the entrance of Frank and Susanne. The disposition of the latter puzzled Frank and Vera, who now Inclined to the belief that she was wholly guiltless of Intent to kill Reginald Bracebrldge. "I don’t believe myself that she in tended going that far,” said Detective Loftus, "but the law in the matter is pluln enough. I’ll have to hold her for some time until nn investigation Is made. Her name will not be entered in the police records In the meantime. If we find that her etory is O.

When can we start?" "Tomorrow, If necessary,” said Frank, “at leaxt the moment we get trace of him.” 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 while Vera Slavlnsky recoiled In hor ror as she grasped the intent of the have you talent?

Clara Ballarinl, a Spanish senorlta. who is both a dancer and h gymnast, is an expensive offering en gaged especially for next week. c.

A short distance away a great plat form or altar of rock arose, but little 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 art*.

He knows the country, lie would not dare return to Europe, lie tins escaped.” “Escaped; no!” rang out the voice of Sylvia Thurston. "Where one airship can go another can follow. We must pursue this man. Mr. Bracebrldge. If you will not pursue in your airship, then I shall do bo on land. I have said I will follow hint to the end of the earth. Must I go alone?" “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 the hands of Fart Mueller clasped hands over the compact, ‘Detective Loftus looked smilingly on. "Well.
