DOR. Oh, no; my last chance for that dignity. Wouldn't miss it for worlds. Besides, I promised for us both; didn't I, Pinky? POTTS. Indeed you did. No backsliding, old man. ROGER. As this little maid has signed the compact, I will help her keep it. (_Arm about_ DOR.) RUTH. Is your heart lighter, Gordon? COL. Yes, Ruth; and already the color is coming to your cheeks. That, with Roger's forgiveness, makes me happy again. Ah! we all have suffered much, and have gained the happiness which I trust the future will bring. (_Music._) Ruth, the household enemy is routed at last. There are bright days before us, but ever and anon will cross our paths memories of these dark days: the treachery of a friend; the bravery of our brother (_takes_ ROGER'S _hand_), who could forget and forgive, and, at the risk of his own life, come to your husband's rescue “After Taps.” (_Tableau._) CURTAIN. _ENTERTAINMENTS FOR GIRLS._ _THE BOOK OF DRILLS._ PART I.

The idea of this cleverly conceived but quaintly named piece may be briefly described as follows: The “Genius of the Nineteenth Century,” although congratulating herself upon the achievements of the age, still longs for some means of recalling to earth the prominent characters of the past. Her wish is granted by the “Inventress” who produces the “marvelous machine,” the “Chronothanatoletron” (or Time and Death Annihilator), by means of which any woman of any epoch can be brought at once into the presence of the “operator.” OUT OF HIS SPHERE. A COMEDY IN THREE ACTS BY THE AUTHOR OF THE POPULAR MILITARY DRAMA “FORCED TO THE WAR.” Price, 15 cents.
