Only n dl?liko to own mysiilf beaten and the occasional fascina- 4 tion which compensated for tho more froquont discomfort kopt mo in tho office. But rt!l this was before tho day I was son! to Interview t'r.o wife and daughter of the n man who had just disturbed socioty bj \ disappearing from it. ( Sir. Grey, bo it had been learned from <s iho notices concerning his disappearance, | had ono evening after dinner gono out for t a stroll around the block. He had nover jj oome back. Ills family was of course t prostrated after the manner of families on Br.cli sad occasions. After giving him c timo to come back, sonding to his clubs, ' his office and tho houses of his friends hii < wife had Anally told his lawyers, and sy?- t temntic search was begun. The family ^ bad retired from publio lffe and denied themselves to every one, consequently my chances for an intcrviow with Mrg. j Groy did not see hopeful, but tho city ed- ^ ltor's air of granting me the opportunity 1 had been longing for mado me loath to 1 adroit my fears. i I took tho train for the Greys' ?they ( lived a little way out of town?and pre- ( pared myself to meet the servants' scorn and tho other attendant evils of such an ' assignment. The coach was an ordinary ' one, and there were several laboring men in it, evidently traveling to some suburb where they wore to work upon the roads, for they carried pickaxes and shovels. There eat opposito mo and slightly for- ( ward a peculiar type 01 man iu whulu j found my gaze wandering every few mln- 1 utes. Ills iron gray hair was thick and very unevenly out. His face was covered with a stubblv growth of gray beard. He looked unwashed, unkempt and generally unpleasant. His blue overalls were stained with red clay and his red flannel shirt 1 opened at the front In a way that revealed anything but a beautiful neok, bui-ned and blistered. But the man's twitching lips and convulsive movements of the jawi attracted my attention, and his deep aet, steely blue eyes that burned in c'aveniou? sockets fascinator mo. lie did not talk to 1 the other men, bu. ' *. with his head sunk upon his breast, oni?. m ^asionally raising It to cast a look about Li. He, with tht other laborers, loft the train i. ^orostvllle, where the Qrcyi lived, and A soon saw thom, under the diroction of a foreman, assigned to make various road repairs. Of course Mrs. Grey would not see ma I eat in the library while the servant took my card to her, for there were other calleri In tho drawing room. Over the mantel hung a picture, presumably Mrs. Grey, ilono in oil. She was as beautiful as a cameo and as hard. Opposite hor was the portrait of a clean shaven mao, with flne iron gray hair brushed oft his forohead?a more plebeian cast of countenance, but strong and interesting. The faoe seemed familiar. I stared at It until the servant returned. "Mrs. Grey is sorry, miss, but she can see no one, and has nothing to say foi publication." ? ?i-i T mL? T " very wen, tutiu a. auou a rum wj gv* "Is that Mr. Grey?" I asked, nodding toward the picture. "Yes, miss," was the reply, and suddenly it flashed upon me where I had seen those deep set, curiously shaped, keen blue eyes. My heart leaped almost Into my ; mouth. I took one long look at the portrait and left the house. The men were repairing the road, and I noticed one of the workmen whose face i startled me. The resemblance to the por- . trait I had seen of Mr. Grey was remarka-1 ble. He worked with a fleroe delight in ( '-he severe labor. His face seemed more . mad than ever, with the exultation of motion and strength deepening the gleam In ' his eyes. There was a telegraph office at the end | of the street. I eont a message to tho citj j editor. "Send a man to Forestville at J once," was my command. Then while I 1 paced the street and walked about the | ! square I reflected upon the welcome I | would recclve if I had made a mistake i ! Every minute i became mo e and mow convinced that I had made tho most colossal blunder on record. By the time Mr. Ellington Ellsworth, the only man who | happened to bo available when my telftgram was rcceired. had arrived I wai , j nearly hysterical. I told Mr. Ellsworth i xr.y theory, and ho was properly skeptical 1 He discouraged mo thoroughly In about I two minutes, but I suddenly ralliod. "Well," I remarked, taking command, i "I want you to keep that man in eigne, i shall go to town and get bia lawyer. Find out what train they go in on, and I'll ' moot you." Mr. Ellsworth didn't wish to aot upon that suggestion, but bo finally consented to do so. I went in, summoned Mr. I Grey's lawyer and with him met tba workingmen'a train. Mr. Ellsworth, look- | i lng bored and unhappy, got out and pointJ od out our suspected "disappearance" to bis lawyer. My heart stood in my mouth. ' Was I to bo forever disgraced or made fa- j I mous forever? "Mr. Grey," said the lawyer, stepping I forward, ' 'what does this mean?" | And when I saw the man start wildlj I knew that I was not forever disgraced. * "Well," said the city editor jovially, "what did they say?" 'They didn't eay anything. They didn't see me." ' "So you didn't got the Interview?" Mid the city editor shortly. "No," I replied meokly, "but I found tho missing man." i And now, such Is the Irony of fat?, th? olty editor, instead of letting me re?t on my laurels, is always exhorting me to live , ! up to tho reputation I made in the Grey caso, when I found tho missing man, I I learned how overwork had worn out hla brain and how in his half crazed oondl- [ [ tion he wandored away and returned to . ! bia original occupation In life, to the hor| ror of his wife with the cameolike faca.

The Man On The BoxThe offering at Grand Theater Monday Night will be the original New York pro. duction of Harold MacGrath's novel dramatized by Grace Livingston Furniss. "The Man On The Box" with its wealth of scenery, and all the effects that made it furore of the season, with a cast second to none, and headed by the Sterling Cornmedian "Bert Leigh Mgr., Browne, offers the Theattical treat of the season to Abbeville. This Company has all the original scenic and costume equipment that Mr. Walter N. Lawrence gave it in the origi- \ nal New York production at the Madison Square Theatre, where it ran over two hundred niirhts to a canacitv business with Henry E. Dixey in the title role. Mr. Leigh is a comedian of merit who has an originality of his own that is in the extreme function and refreshing, and has been before the public for many years and comes to Abbeville! with a reputation as a fun-maker, well established throughout the country. The supporting cast numbers among the names, such well-known Elayers as Harry P. Browne, Edward G. andin, W. G. ftoscoe, Harry l)ee, J. A. Francis, and the lead in the hands of Miss Dore Hastings, is well played according to all the critics, who have seen her work as Betty Annesley. Miss Ada Betch is another whose name is well known to playgoers as well as the name of Maynne Holdfron. The Man On The Box is sure to be greeted with a capacity house when it reaches here.
