THE LITTLE GIRLS
. HERE TONIGHT
; Tho Juvenile Bostouians, who are
coming to the Elks' hall tonight,
on, their eleventh, tour, coni
pleting over a decade of success
ful theatrical history rarely equalled
Founded in tho beginning as a
group 0f child actresses, it has be
come one of the best equipped oi
light opera organizations, from the
standpoint of splendid voices and
clever acting, now on tour. The
.nanagement changed its policy con
siderably in the evolution from a
"novelty" musical show to pro
ductions of such dignity as "Tip
perary Alary," "King Doddo," etc.,
but presetted one rule inflexible—
that only girls in their teens, and
no members of the masculine sex,
are eligible for a position in the
company.
A Stcry of an 0!d Dutch
Town.
Bv F. A. MITCIiEL
The city of Schenectady. N. V.. until J
the Intter part of the nineteenth <ei;- I
tury was a sleepy Dutch villain*
In the early clays, when t:*• Imliaus
used to come into Sol..'iioo!:;dy lo
dispose of their pelts hi e... li ii;,e for
various articles, tli.* pi\ni\.cl m' v.liich
was firewater, there lived i.i tlie towu
a you as man named Hi* loner Van
Trouip. Ue was in low* with AiuieUc
Van Winkle. a lino speeiiuen of a
Dutch tjirl. wiio, when wearing all the
petticoats she possessed, looki d very
much like a humming top.
Some tweuty miles from Schenectady i
the remains of a historical mansion
that was occupied by Sir William John
son, prominent in colonial limes, stil!
staud. A fur trader named Martin
Smith lived in that region and made
frequent trips to Schenectady in the
way of business. On one of his trips
he caught sight of Aimcke Van Win
kle and fell violently in love with her.
A neighbor of llieleger's told hini that
he had better look out for his sweet
heart, for the Englishman was then at
her house begging her to go back with
him to the Long house, as the residence
of Sir William Johnson was called.
This is the only recorded case of
Hieleger showiug any animation, lie
got up from his chair, dropping his
pipe, which was shattered, aud triangu
lated to Anneke's house. Smith saw
him comiug, his eyes afire, and with
discretion withdrew. Ilieloger chased
him out of the town, and when the
former returned his shirt was bloody.
It was supposed that the Dutchman
had given the Englishman nothing
more than a good trouncing until a
man came in from Johnson's to leani
what had become of Smith, for he had
come to Schenectady for a day only,
and though a week had passed he had
not returned. The fact that when
Hieleger had como back from chasing
his would be rival blood was tin his
clothing was proof to the Dutchmen
that bo had killed Smith. A scarch
w_aa~nuuLe for-tho.bodi,.but it was
riot found.' Itut tills liml little weight,
for it was supposed that the murderer
had burled It
Illeleger was tried and convicted.
The fact that Smith had disappeared
after liavljit? been chased, that blood
was on tlie shirt of the man who had
chased him, was quite enough for
those who tried Van Troinp without
wasting words over any possible ex
planation. \ The Dutchman of that peri
od was not imaginative or Ingenious.
What was before his eyes he saw; of
what might be behind his back he took,
mi mite. That Flleleger had killed the
man who sought to take his sweet-,
heart from him they did not doubt
Some were inclined to leniency on ac
count of the provocation, but these
were overruled by the wise heads ,who
declared tint murder was murder and
that was a'! there was about tt So
Ilioleger was condemned to bo hanged
one month from the day on which he
was convicted.
Aniioke received the verdict stolidly.
At least she appeared to do so, though
•her face was so fat that it is not prpb
able any < hanse of expression could
appear in hit- lineaments. Neverthe
less she low 1 Ilielegev, and her love
for him had bron much enhanced on
seeing him chase away the man who
had thrust his attention upon her. She
went to her home, sat down in the liv
ing riioui and. taking up her knitting,
began to think, for Anneke could never!
think mil. s her lingers were working]
the neislles .•
It would be a mistake to suppose |
that because Anneke's face was
roun ! as an apple and her little eyes
were set above a pair of exuberant
cheeks she had no power of thought
She had a <■ -Metallic thinking appara

Vi>l •:»! of registering ii or 5. as it had
done the morning before, registered 4.
This circumstance created a greater dis
turbance in tla- village than anything
that hi-d ever occurred there since the
grii.t Indian massacre. It was evident
that the clock had lost considerable
time, for two days before the sun had
risen at 0. and now when the clock
struck that hour the sun was high In
the lie vetis.

too slow or too fast, even had the
bur known it. they would not have
wondered. As it was they did not
know what to make of it. So great was
their faitli in their timepiece that In
stead of thinking it wrong they laid
the blame on the sun. though many of
them preferred to believe that the
devil had cot into the belfry and had
interfered with the mechanism. A
committee of three was appointed to
sit up and watrli the hands to see when
the change took place. The dial was
lighted l>y a full moon, and they could
see it distinctly. Bv 10 o'clock they
had drunk so much schnapps that they
saw a marvelous sight. The hands
spun round like the spokes of a rapidly
revolving wagon wheel, first forward
and then backward, stopping atO. This
settled the matter. The devil was at
work in the belfry.
When twelve days had passed the
burghers began to notice that each
morning the clock was getting nearer
their rising hour, though now it seem
ed to lie gaining instead of losing,
and before four weeks had passed it
had come right again. Then they con
cluded that the devil had tired of fool
ing with it and had let It alone, for It
went ou steadily for twenty-four days
after it had commenced its antics.
Meanwhile the date of Ilieleger Van
Tromp's execution approached. The
morning of the execution Anneke Van
Winkle went to the judge of the court
and said:
"Your worship, 1 have a confession
to make."
"What is it, Anneke?" asked the
judge.
"it is in connection with the hanging
of Ilieleger Van Trouip. Whatday was
he sentenced to be hanged?"
"Friday; that is today."
"Tnis is not Friday, your worship; it
is Saturday."
"What is the matter with you, An

"lJid you do that, Jjineke'/" .;■<
"Yes."
The judge began to puzzle his brain
over the question as to whether a day
had been lost or not by the. setting,
back of the. clock. But, not reaching
any conclusion, he sent word to the
sheriff not to execute the prisoner until
further orders. Then be eallcd In the
most prominent citizens and stated the
case to them, asking their opinion
whether, Anneke having set bQefc,
hands of t4e clock twenty-four ijoure,
the day on which tlleleger Van Tromp
was to be executed had passed.
The question struck those to whom It
was propounded as the most dlfficntt
they hnd ever been called upon to solve.
After an hour's babcL.during, which
some maintained,o^e side aadsome an
other and frequent shifting from one,
side to the other, it w,asr.decWc4 that
the matter was too Important to be de
cided in a hurry, and they all adjourn

the debate was still going on and. had

while his wife took the opposite view.
They quarreled. Fathers and eons,
mothers and daughters contended, and
before nightfall all the lovers la town
were estranged.
The next morning, there being_ doubt
whether the day was Saturday or Sun
day, the trouble broke out a'fresh.
Some called on the-domlne to bold
service; others declared that the church
should not be opened., This caused ,a
riot at the door of the sanctuary, those
trying to get In being attacked by those
trying to keep the church shut
During the afternoon a man was
seen crossing the Mohawk river Ja a
boat It was agreed that this person,
who doubtless came from the Long
house, be nsked whether the day was
Saturday or Sunday. When be came
near enough for the people to distin

Martin Smith, the "murdered" man.
Every man and woman and chilg, J>£

return, met him with-, the
"What day is this?" . He was t$ star
tled that he could not tell them till lie
had examined memoranda h« had in his
pocket; then he declared that it was

The question of the hanging was set
tled not only by the return of the sup
posed victim, but from the fact that
the day set for the execution had
passed. The people were beside them
selves with Joy that they had not hung
Ilieleger and took Anneke. whose w.tt
