Senate agr.cultural committee examines Carl Williams, who resents cotton on the farm board. THURSDAY Party leaders of senate worked to round up “doubtfuls” as debate preceeded on flexible provision of tariff bill. Senate investigators continued inquiry .nto 1927 Geneva activi- ties of American ship builders. Action was deferred on resolu- ticn of Senator Heflin, Democrat, Alabama, to get data from census bureau about cotton ginning error. James C. Stone, farm board vice-chairman, told senate agri- culture committee farmer would be benefited by constructive operation of farm bill. PALACE THEATRE, MANDAN The gay scenes in a musical com- edy theatre on Broadway; a gang York; the rehearsal hall where big productions are born; a theatrical boarding house—all these are brought ‘vividly to the screen in “Broadway Babies,” a singing, talking and danc- ing picture which stars Alice White at the Palace Theatre, Mandan, last time tonight. “Broadway Babies” is a First Na- ‘Temperature Lowest Precipi- tation (State of weather - SSSSSLRESSSASLSSSSSSSSSTSS |Hishes!

CAPITOL THEATRE Favorites of both the stage and screen will be seen and welcomed jin “Big News,” a Pathe _ dialogue production at the Capitol Theatre to- night.

Helen was bewil- dered. If Brent had lost his money. +++ Suddenly she laughed. Me had money for her, of course. Her own money in some way. And he had lost much of his fortune, A wave of gladness swept over her, filled her eyes with a shining light. Things hadn't changed for them after all. She would simply give her money to Leonard. She tried to tell him this, in words that came with a rush. “You needn't have told me anything,” she cricd. “Everything could have been just as it was. About the money, I mean. Of course I want to know about my parents, but I’ve always hoped... .” She stopped, the new experience of let- ling her thoughts run to words falling short of carrying her through, Brent did not tct a silence fall upon them. “I'm afraid you don’t understand, Helen,” he said, mak- ing an effort to be patient, “You will not be able to obtain your money unless I tell you your story. Even then you may not get it. Per. sonally I rather hope you won't, because I'd still like you to regard me as being necessary to you.” “Necessary?” Helen said blankly. “Yow,” he said. “I can’t flatter myself that any other ideas I might have could come to anything.” Hele: filed. “Then tell me,” she sald, “the rest of the story. Whose money will I inherit, my father's? My mother’s?” it Brent answered briefly. “Your grandfather's.” “My grandfather! Have I a Srandfather living?” “You surely have.” ° ° arm. me?” “Why didn’t you tell she pleaded. “You aren't Helen Page.

You aren’t Helen Page. Only your middie name is Helen. Your father took the name of Page so that your grandfather—your mother’s father —would find it more difficult to lo- cate kim and your mother.” “Why?” Helen cried. “Because your grandfather is an old tartar, my dear girl, and your father had incurred his wrath by marrying your mother. You see he wasn't a wealthy man, poor Charles; luck always weut against him. An¢€ your mother was the only child of a very rich man.’ eee RENT was sure of his last state- ment. Further investisation fol- Helen flowing his trip to Yonkers had re- vealed this to be true. He had no hesitation in declaring it. “Charles,” Helen whispered. “That is my father's name?” “Yes, Charles Nellin.” He con- sidered it wise to avoid mentioning ithe name Owens, Theregmight be ‘a chance that Cunningham did not know that it was Nellin’s, He didy't Brent was ready with his answer.} want Helen using it when she went “I'd not be telling you now,” he said, “if I hadn't promised your father that I would do it when you were grown.” “Tell me about my father, and my mother,” Helen urged. “{ never knew your mother.” Brent replied. “Your father, of course you know, was one of my closest friends.

He sighed. “You see,” he said, “already ... you will want to sec her home, won't you?” “Oh yes,” Helen answered, swift in her understanding, “but that can’t be come between us in any way.” “We shall see.” Brent said gloom- ily, “But I want you to remember that your grandfather was my friend's enemy—your father's eaemy. I can’t enjoy the thought of giving you over to him.” “You won't need to,” Helen prom- ised. “I don’t want his money, Leonard. How could I want it when he was unkind to my mother?” “Well,” Brent hedged, “he had his side of the case, I suppose. You see, I'm not an impartial judge. To me Charles Neilin was a real man, @ true friend and my sympathy was entirely with him.” “What did my grandfather do to him?” “Nothing, in a way. He refus: to give his permission to Nellin' macriage with his daughter. He's as proud as the old Nick, but that was natural because Charles was only @ poor chap—a musician, in fact. But he got the idea in his head that Cunningham was trying to take bis wife away from him. - “I can't say whether he was just!- fied or not, but he probably was. At any rate he left the country and changed his name. It isn't so much what Cunningham did to him that matters. He had small opportunity to sct against him. Charics kept out of his way. The marriage was an elopement. And afterward Charles never saw your grand- father again.” eee 66 AND my mother? Did she go back?” “Never. But Charles feared that she might, and it was this fear that drove him to Mexico. ,Your grand father is guilty of having ruined his life. He made a vagabond of him. But your mother had more cause for bitterness. Her father refused her one and only appeal for aid—refuscd it cruelly. It was made for your sake, Helen, and it broke your mother’s heart to know that you were to be left be hind her in poverty. The letter she received from her father hastened her death.” “Oh my poor mother,” moaned, “That ts why I have no kind feel- ing for Cyril Cunningham,” Brent commented acidly, “I hate him!” Helen exclaimed. “I never want to see him!” Brent waited a moment for her agitation to pass. “I'm afraid we can’t either of us make that possi- ble,” he said earnestly, “unless we are to break a promise to your father.” “But I never promised,” Helen protested. ° “I promised for you,” Brent ex- plained to her. “You see, dear, be fore your mother’s death sie begged Charles to take you back to America and appeal to her father cnce more to help you. I'm afraid she knew that poor Charles was scarcely the man to bring up 4 motherless girl and provide for her in a proper way. But Charles was too bitter to comply with her request. Jt preyed on his milnd. however, and when he knew he was near death itself he sent for me and asked me to fulfill ber wish.” “Bet you didn't,” Helen inter- Jected swiftly, “and I don't see why we should do it now.” “Your father gave me plenty of time,” Brent soothed her. “He wanted to put it off as long as pos- my assurance that | sive you a fitting education eased his mind about not sending you to your grandfather while you were a baby. “But I gave him my solemn prom- ise that, if you lived until you were grown, I would tell you about your parents and see that you ful- filled your mother's cying wish. You must not fail me, Helen." “Is that what you meant when you spoke of the role I was being groomed for?" mm asked him. “When you said 1 must obey your wishes in preference to my own?” Her question was unexpected, but Leonard Brent was rarcly caught off his guard, When he spoke it waa with confidence in his ability to satisfy her and push his crooked scheme another foot ahead.
