Life looked very dark to me as I sat before the glowing gas grate in our living room after Dicky had in- dulged in his temper fit and gone ou presumably to Lilllan Gale's “party. I contrasted the little leaping flames trying so hard to imitate an honest wood fire, with the heavy shadows upon my married life. Mine was only an imitation happiness, I told myself bitterly. Then I 'put myself through a course of severe 'self-analysis. Was mine the fault that so much of bick- ering had been crowded into the first few weeks of our marriage? If this were the index of our future, better, part at once ways. A wave of ‘utter misery swept over me at that' thought. Life without Dicky, even with his faults, wouvld and go our separate be unbearable. With him there might | be misery, without him, nothing but utter blankness, life devoid of any | meaning. | I remembered my old ecyincism about married happiness. I had not | believed that there could be such a | thing, until Dicky swept me off my | feet with his love. Now I asked my- self if ever man and wife had so much bitterness and quarreling pack- ed in such a short space of time as Dicky and I had experienced this last week. I knew ome solution to the prob- lem, but I could not bring myself to take it. Dicky was a darling when not orossed. I only had to study his every whim, to subject my will always to his, to ignore his outbursts of petty temper when household affairs annoyed, and I would have peace. But my self-respect would not al- low me to take that course. Katies philosophy came back to my mind. | “If you do all times vat dey want, no times vat you want, @en dey tink you one carpet, dep wipe feet on you.” | No, for Dicky's good and my own | I could not blot out my individuality. | The problem looked unsolvable from any angle. A Cordial Invitation. Katie's voice startled me. ‘‘Missis Graham, you not hear tel- ephone bell? It ring, ring tree times. I answer it for you?” At any other time Katie’'s costume would have provoked a smile from me. Her hair was elaborately twisted | up in_ crimping pins, and she wore | & gorgeous pink flannelette "negligee of the quality which the cheaper stores sell at a dollar. But I was in no mood for smiling. “I will answer it, Katie,” I re- | plied. ‘Thank you for reminding me.’ “That’s all right.” Katie still stood by my chair. Evidently she intended | to stay while I talked. “That will be all, Katie,” I said gently, as'I took down the receiver, and Katie disconsolately went into the kitchen and shut the door. Lillian, Gale’s. voice answered hesitating “Hello.” “Is that you, Mrs. Graham? Good. Your husband has just told us how Jbully. you. were to insist.-upon his com- my morning hours, {in action and | GARRISON 1‘ the money which had been one cause of our quarrel—how I hated the very tcuch of it—went to my bedroom and put it away- Every nerve in my body was throb- bing. I decided to take a warm bath in the hope that the effects of it 1 went to the bathroom and turned onr. the hot water, then went back tv bath robe, and slippers. In bathroom again I tempered the nearly bolling water with cold water, and slipped into its grateful warmth. I thought that it would quiet, me, hair, my nightly custom, I hurried into bed, drawing the covers tightiy i around me. After awhile I grew warmer phy- j sically, but I felt as if my heart were frozen. I did not expect that Dicky would come home before the and I lay with eyes wide open wondering what I should do when he did come, I heard the clock strike ten! eleven! twelve! A few moments after the stroke of midnight I heard a queer fumbling at the door of our living room, a muffled sinister sound. I sat ;upright in bed listening. What could it be? WAR PICTURES HERE MONDAY Unquestionably thousands will flock to see the real war movie pic- tures of the German battlefields which will be shown at the Lyceum, Mon- day of next week. Four performances daily will be given. These pictures are said to be ths first which show the explosion of shrapnel shells and high expsives. By means of a telephoto lens, Mr. Edwin F. Weigle the staff photo- grapher of the Chicago Tribune who took the pictures managed to record bursting shrapnel. The pictures first show the big thirty-centimetre guns the forts of Przemysl. Immediately following the explosion of the guns, one sees the effect—the shrapnel breaking in the air and hurling its shock into the trenches of the enemy. It is a sight never to be forgotten. Mr, Edwin F. Weigle has unques- ‘tionable set a name for himself in his daring effort to record the ac- tions for the German army and to present them to the millions through the movies. Mr. Weigle has brought home to us in its most vivid and grim state the European war as it actualiy transpired only a few weeks ago on the battle grounds of France, Gala- cia Poland and in the Tyrolean Alps. These pictures are shown here di- rect from the 44th street theater in New York and during the last three weeks 150,000 people have witnessed ing alone”—what on earth had Dicky | the horrors of war as recorded by the | been saying?—"“and I told him I was ! going to call you up and see if we couldn’t persuade you to come ovar for just a little while, I'll send Harry or Dicky with a taxi for you. Harry says he is coming—and we’ll make /Dicky come home early, regularly shoo him out if you feel you can't stay. Won’t you please come?” Her voice was eager, cordial, but I fancied I detected beneath its ap- parent friendliness a feminine triumph that Dicky had come without me, and a fellne curiosity to know how I was taking his defection. Al- most any bride of three weeks' stand- ing, I fancied, would show some resentment if her husband left her alone and went to the home of an- other woman, even if the cause of the going were a bitter quarrel. The Diplomatic Reply, A cold determination took posses- sion of me. This woman should learn nothing from me of my real feelings. Dicky was evidently playing the game. I certainly would not lay down my cards. My voice was as cordial as her own as I answered her: ‘Dear Mrs. Underwood, if I only dared I would be with you now. But I have things on hand this week that absolutely must be attended to- If I do not rest after one of these head- aches of mine I am apt to have a real fit of illness. I am going to bed now. and please tell Dicky that there is no Teason why he shouldn’t stay as late as he likes. I am so glad he could go, and you may be sure if you'll forgive me this time and invite me again I will surely come to you.” There was a note of admiration in her voice when she spoke again, Reai or feigned it gratified my vanity. “ You're a dead game little sport, anyway,” she sald, “and I appreciate your letting Dicky come. It wouldn't seem like one of my parties, without Dicky here. You can wager anything you like I'll invite you again, and make sure you come, too, Good- night.” She did not offer to have Dicky come to the telephone, for which I was devoutly grateful. I was not so dense either that I did not grasp her parthian shot concerning Dicky’s con- stant attendance upon her whims. TUnless I was greatly mistaken, Lillian Gale would never give up my hus- band’s friendship unless Dicky him- self banished her from his life. I felt suddenly old and desperately weary. 1 know there would be no sleep for me for hours, but I longed for the darkness of my bedroom. At least I could rest if I could not sleep.: i Liturned-.out.the- gas grate; pushed- back my chair, took from the table motion picture camera. These pic- tures have not heen staged in a mo- tion picture studio but have actually been taken on the grim battlefield, where the flends of war are staging the greatest tragedy of all time. WALTER BROW'N, OF | MANY ATTAINMENTS Walter Browne, the author of the dramatic spectacle, ‘“Everywoman,” which will be seen at the Lyceum Friday evening, Oct. 29, was a schcl- arly man, an university alumnus, and had looked upon life under hard conditions from almost every quarter of the globe. He had been an editor, a lecturer, an actor, a singer, and in the Savor theater, London, had per- formed for the first time several roles of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. He told many amusing tales of his early struggles to get a foothold as an actor and singer. He met ths usual discouragements of the pro- vincial amateur—his home was in York, England, where his father was Lord Mayor—but convinced that he had talent he journeyed up to Lon- don without parental consent and without credentials or introduction went to the Savoy theater. The stage door being open and the keeper ab- sent. Browne gained access to the stage. It was early in the morning, before rehearsal time and the place seemed deserted save for a short, stout man who was seated in the semi darkness drumming a piano. Browne went boldly up to him and asked whom he should see about hav- ing his volce tried. The man turned gruffly upon him and told him to proceed. He sang “A Warrior Bold.” The player looked him over and told him he would do. Some time after- ward Browne learned that the pianist to whom he owed his engagement was Sir Arthur Sullivan. Walter Browne's staunchest friends admit that his lines play better thun they read. He undoubtedly was gift- ed with that faculty of writing direct- ly at his audience. His language is most effective because it is simple_ and not profound. His literary style is ruggedly sincere. There is no trace of pendantry, no pride of in- tellect no display of imaginative power for its own sake. “Every- woman’ is as simple, direct and sin- cere of purpose as John Bunyan's “Pilgrim’s Progress,” written as John Bunyan might have written it had ho “beer-fftrmured in 'a New York lodging house instead of Bedford Jail, would enable me to sleep after awhile. | but after drying moisture from my | Ihody and getting into my nighlgown,: far better, that Dicky and I should |I found myself shivering with a ner- | vous chill.

W. C. A. hall on the evening of October ; 27, indicates that New Britain peo- ple are really appreciative of worthy attractions. All American, with New England | in particular, should honor the name { of Edward MacDowell, as it was in the seclusion of the New Hampshire hills that he made his home, and | there created the wonderful tone- poems that mark him as the most eminent of American composers. Since his death, caused by over- work, Mrs. MacDowell, who was an accomplished pianist, has devoted her | time and energy to bringing his music before the American public. Her mis- sion does not end there, for she gives all the money from her recital toward the support of the art colony estab- | lished at Peterborough, New Hamp- | shire, as a living memorial to her great husband. | “CASCARETS” FOR YOUR BOWELS IF HEADACHY, SICK For biliousness, bad breath, colds, indigestion and constipation.

Both wonder- ful stories with big dramatic pos- sibilities, the screen features will go down in the Keeney records as pro- bably the most successful pair ever shown on a single night. The Rine- hart film is a Big Four offering and it won unstinted praise from the Keeney audience last evening. 1t is a big achievement to put this wonder- ful romance on the screen and the Selig company well merits the com- pliments that have been showered on it since the picture was released. In the leading role is Eugenie Besserer, one of the most popular mémbers of the Selig forces. John Mason needs no introduction to New Britain theater-goers. He has appeared here in a number of dramatic successes and at no time did he play in a failure in this city. “Jim The Penman” is generally regarded as one of the strongest plays in which he has been cast. as select- ed for his debut as a screen artist by himself and the success of the film attests to his capable judgement. Berth Challis, the little comedienne of “dynamite personality” and Ed Lambert, pianist, who apears with her, are offering the best liked vaude- ville act on thos week’s bill. It is a lively number and its many com- mendable features make a good im- pression on the audience.

They were coming down a steep hill when almost the worst thing that can happen to a machine hap- pened to them-—the steering gear broke. At the foot of the hill was a bridge over a pond; they ca- reened frantically across the bridge and plunged part way under the one rail fence: They came to a stop with two wheels under the fence, hanging over a ten-foot drop, and fifteen feet of water. You can imagine the celerity with which they climbed out on the farther side of the machine, and the fervidness with which they rejoiced over their narrow escape.
