advances and who has surmised the identity of her lover with the fugitive, is vigilantly watchful, hoping to gratify his jealous hatred while in the performance of his duty. During the interview between _Norton_ and _Rose_ she detects the stealthy approach of _Devlin_, tracking him. After making a tryst with him at a remote [Illustration: Photograph by Abbe. Collection of Jefferson Winter. LENORE ULRIC AS _ROSE_, IN “TIGER ROSE”] and abandoned log cabin in the woods, she has barely time to hide her lover in a huge old grand-father’s clock, in the factor’s house. From that precarious concealment _Norton_ escapes, down a trapdoor in the floor, under cover of the dreadful tumult of an appalling electrical storm (most realistically and impressively managed in Belasco’s presentment) and, eventually, makes his way to the appointed meeting place. There, during the next night, he is joined by _Rose_ and a kindly physician, _Dr. Cusick_, who has discovered her attachment and who, somewhat unwillingly, has consented to assist in the escape of her sweetheart. Various explanations are exchanged and it is revealed that _Dr. Cusick_ (that being an assumed name) is actually the wronged husband of _Norton’s_ sister and has been for years seeking to find and kill the man slain by him. After the family misfortunes have been discussed and an understanding arrived at and after plans for the escape of _Norton_ out of the Dominion have been devised and arranged by the intrepid _Rose_, the trio are about to separate when the ubiquitous _Devlin_, who has divined their resort to the ruined cabin, has concealed himself there and listened to their conversation, suddenly emerges from his hiding place and, “covering” the culprit with a pistol, arrests him. _Rose_, however, abruptly extinguishes the only light in the cabin, at the same instant shooting the weapon out of _Devlin’s_ hand and crying to her love to fly--which he does. _Devlin_ makes an attempt to follow him, striking down and stunning _Cusick_, but, being unarmed, is stopped by _Rose_ at the pistol point. Then, throughout the night she holds him there. With dawn, however, _Norton_, who has realized the predicament in which his escape will leave his sweetheart, returns, accompanied by a Jesuit priest whom he has met--and, as _Rose_ will not submit to the removal of her lover to Edmonton, there to stand trial alone, but insists on an immediate marriage to him, the play ends with impending matrimony and the implication that _Dr. Cusick_, who, it appears has “done the State some service,” will succeed in his declared intention of appealing to the legal authorities for lenient treatment of _Norton_,--an intention, by the way, which indicates a touching ignorance of the operation of criminal law in the region specified.
