The astonishing success of "A MidnightBell " Is; still a source of much surprise. OnBroadway yesterday a few interesting inci-dents fn connection with this play were re-

called, iloyt wrote "A Midnight Bell " in1883, bifaro ,5A Bunch of Keys." Ho read itto Eugene Tompkins and he refused to bavoanything to do with it. It was produced inCalifornia by L. It. Stockwoll, Pluubo Davisand Mr, Grismer, and mot with isuocess.Hoyt wanted to produce it iu tho East,but the terms of the contract forbiutoproduction without Grismer, Stockwulland Davis in the cant. Thev gave it up, bow.ever, on the condition that Hoyt should writethem another farne-comed- " A MidnightBell" lost 62.100 in Buffalo and more inBaltimore Then it come to the Bijou andthe result is known. The farce. comedy tobe played by Grismer and Phiube Dayis will

be called "A Texas Steer." Two acta aroalready completed. It will bo played in'Frisco in October and in this city in De-

cember.

Hoyt is also at work upon another farcocomedy that hax pot been named. It Is al-

The reason glvcu by Claris M. Snminis.Wilson Barrett's manager, for tho

on it was a tin doffce-po- t aud an iron tea-

kettle with a broken rpout.

was made in somo set pattern, which was un-lik- o

anything ltichard had ever seen ordreamed of.Sovoral pieces of as many carpets lay on tho

floor and a much worn blanket was hung on

, two nails over the window.

Dick's heart ached at tho evident signs of

poverty, and a warm ;instinct of protectionpossessed him." I hope you will allow me to be of some

assistance to you," ho bald when tho girl,haviug finished their confessions, became

silent. "I think I can, in a few days,

to oaturo the world that his towering above

the averago height of people was neither hi

ers were resolved to out. bristle his hair. Hisshaggy eyebrows overhuug modest blue eyesthat looked as if thoy fain would draw be-

neath those brows as a turtle draws its headunder its shell.He bashfully greeted Dido, and sho intro-

duced him to ltichard as "Mr. MartinShanks, who boards with somo friends up.stairs." He held out his big hand to Dick,saying:' ' Glad to make.yer acquaintance, sir!" all

"What kind of work?""She was atypewriter and a stenographer,"

Dido explained, "and in the evenings sheused to get extra work. This night she wentto work, but she did not come baok andMaggie worries over It."" I should think sho would," ltichard re-

plied, kindly, " Why did'ut Maggie go toher bister's employer? Probably to couldthrow somo light on the subject.""Sho did go to him, and he said Lucille,

had asked for two weeks' vacation, which hohud given her, aud Maggie didn't want to tellhim that Lucille had gone out to do somo ex-tr- u

work, for fear he wouldn't like it. He paidher by tho week and didn't know she did out-side work. Magglo thought thou sho would boback, but now it is fivo weeks and she hasn'tcomo buck yet.""And poor mother loved her so," added

Maggie huskily, as she tho room,huviug since Dick's arrival led Bliud Gilbertout to hiB corner."Do you think wo could do anything

finding hor? " Uido asked eagerly.' ' I hardly what you could do, uueas

you notify tho police und udvertise for her,'Dick replied, listlessly. He hail enough uirlson his mind now, w ith Panelopo, tho l'arkmystery girl aud Dido, and he did not feelanxious to add unother to his already toolarge list. Ho felt satisfied to look afterPenelope, aud was desirous nf assuming solo

charge of her, but did not want auy more.

"I should say that she had received abetter position somewhere, and that ou willhear from her bofore long," Dick said, en.courogiugly." Oh, sho would surely send for her

clothes if bho had," Dido said, earnestly." If you will tell us what to do what is thobest thing wo will try to do it; Maggie is soanxious to find her."" I can rosily do for you all that can bo

done," Dick replied. ' ' If you can give mo adescription of her I will send it to PoliceHeadquarters nnd havo them search for her.""She was slender Und had a lovely white

complexion and blue eyes aud black hair,"Dido beguu, IU.'hard writing it iu a little

notebook." Was she tall or short?" he asked, pnubiugfora r.nly."About mv height don't you thiuk so,

Maggie ? I'm S feet 4.' t inches."' How wus sho drebkvd " -

" She had ou her black ulpaca dress, and

; woro u round black turban, with a bunch ofgreen grass on the back of it," said Dido." Aud she curried her light jacket nloug to

wear homo, 'cause mother thouyht it would

be cold, " Maggie said, helping Dido along.

" Lucille always had nicer dresses than 1

had. Sho was twenty.one, though she didu'i

look It. I am older than the was."

This description ltichard Treadwell bentto the police authorities, and also inserted acautious but alluring personal in till tho lead-

ing newspapers, the missing Lucille didnot return, nnd nothing wus heard of her." My God, what it is to be poor!" ltichard

mused one morning as he walked up Broad,way. "Why, the glimpses I get during myVisits to Mulberry street of the trialH andprivations the poor endure makes me heart,sick. Thero'e Gilbert, blind and helpless,forced to spend bis time on a Broadway cor-

work, und Maggie would ho happy it it wasn'tfor her obsent sister. By Jove, I ret.pect

those girls, f admire their spirit, and if I

don't find Maggie's sister it won't bo ray

fault. It's just as easy to solve the myatery

of two girls as it is to solve tho mystery of

one. he thought with grim humor, as he had

made no progress in either case.

"I haven't tho least doubt thnt MuggiCs

sister, tiring of tho poverty at home, foundsnugger quarters and is sticking to them. IfI only knew what she looked liko I wouldlikely ruu across her in some of my rounds.New York is a very little place to those thatgo about. I'll wager if I kuew that girl, andshe was running un und, I'd meet her insideof three eveniuvs. If I could only identify

her By Jove! I have it. I'll Ret Dido,vtuo knowrtho girl, and I'll take- - her to the

Deliehted with his new scheme, Richard' Scut across Tweuty.fourth street and went into'' 'wthe Hoffman House barroom. Without stop-- ' JKpine he went through to tbe office, whero he w '

wrote and sent n note to Dido aiklnc her to 'Mr.

infuriated animals, and every one now putstho greatest possible distance between him-

self nnd any Mruy dog that may como along.A thrilling incident in connection with a

mad dog happened horo ou Monday after-

noon. C'apt. MichaoR of tho Morris Canal,was tho owner of a pet dog which he valuedhighly.During tho morning ho noticed that tho dog'

was acting quccrly, but ho thought nothingof it. Shortly after noon, howovor, tho dog,who had been lying apparently asleep on thodeck of tho boat, suddenly jumped up andwith boami. yelping ciios begau whirliugaround madly.('apt. Michaels realized instantly that tho

animal was mad.His two llttlo sons wero playing together

only a short distance, away.Willi it bound the captain reached them

and at tho samo tlmo tho dog ceased tiiswhirling about and his bloodshot eyes restedon the captain and his children.Then, with wide open, loam.fleckcd mouth,

he dashed at the captain.Tho latter dodged and made for tho shore,

but tho dog headed him off.Again the captain dodged the infuriated

animal, aud riming to the Bide of tho canaldropped both of ids ch ldrou in. Then hesprang in himself just as the dog made a snapat his legs.Tho captain rescued both his bovs, aud tho

dog crept under a box, where ho was de-spatched with n revoher later.Tho uoxt afternoon a small yellow dog camo

dashing nloug ono of tho streets suapping andbithig at ovcrythitig within his reach.Ho attacked two ladios on BloomDold ave-

nue, but they bravely beat him off with thoirumbrellas. Then ho ran down the avenue,bitiug two other dogs on tho wuv. All threeanimals were finally killed by ofllcor Duncanafter a long chase.No ono cares to fondle a dog jiiBt at present,

and e ery one is on tho lookout for suspi-ciou- s

thought was a coooauut. It Hashed throughhis head that perhaps a ve-s- had beenwrecked and the cargo lost, and reaching outho made a grab at tho object.There was a little shriek, which the young

man did not hear, and nminuto later a womanof about fifty years of ago was seen makingher escape from the water.It was noticed that hho hnd no hair, and
