WEDNESDAY NIGHT. \ ‘‘THE HUNDREDTH CHANCE.” Lady Bernard Brian, fallen on evil times, married Giles Sheppard, prosperous owner of the Anchor Inn. She hoped that her daughter Aland would marry her cousin, Lord Saltash, but he had lost his desire to marry the girl whose home was the village-inn. Jake 1 Bolton was the trainer for Saltash, and one day, meeting Aland and Bunny, her crippled brother, fell in love with her. Alaud, remembering her aristocratic traditions, kejst him at arm’s length. 111-treated by her step-father, and in despair at the cruelty Sheppard practised towards Bunny, the girl would have committed suicide.’ Jake saved from that and begged her to marry him, if only for the boy’s sake. Maud scorned the suggestion, but next day her step-father’s renewed ill-treatment drove her to take the step. Some time after the marriage Saltash went to his trainer’s to sec ‘‘The Hundredth Chance,” his favourite race horse, and was astonished to find that his cousin had married Bolton. He determined to separate them, and invited Alaud to Burcbcster Castle, where he endeavoured to compromise her. To accomplish his purpose he one day drugged her, but Bolton arrived at the right moment. Saltash was soundly thrashed, and Alaud discovered that her husband had a heart of gold. The above will be shown on AVcdncsday night.
