Dicky whistled. *“Well! What do vou want to know about that?"” he de- manded of the horizon in general. Hungry as we were after our dis- appointment in finding Putnam Manor Inn closed and for rent, dashing our hopes of obtaining a warm dinner after our tramp trhough the woods surrounding Marvin, we could not kurry into the house before us. “I don’t care if we never eat,” ex< claimed Dicky. “I want to give this the ‘once over’ before I go in.” “The Shakespearian House,” I said slowly. “The caretaker at the inn said this was a copy of Shakespeare’s house. Do you suppose it really is?” “Not an exact copy,” returned Dicky. “I rather think the builder’s idea must have been to build the rouse as near like the birthplace as he could. Then he has added a bal- cony of two of the FElizabethan preriod for good measure. But it cer- tainly is a wonder. T imagine finding vthing like this set down here among these regulation two-story-and- bath modern horrors The little brown house with its bal- conies projecting from unexpected places, and its lattice work cunning- 1y outlined against its walls, was well worth looking at. Especially attrac- tive was a tiny portico projecting from one corner. “You might imagine the immortal William himself would walk out of that entrance in another minute,” said Dicky. “Don’t you think we ought to go in instead of standing outside staring like this?” I ventured. ‘‘Perhaps they will be offended by our looking the house over like this.” “Offended? Not they! Anybody cwning an unusual house like this would be offended if you didn’t look it over, commented Dicky shrewdly. “However, I'm with you on the sub- ject of going in. I'm ravenous.” “I do hope thjs Mrs. Gorman will be willing to serve us a dinner,” I re- turned. “Leave her to me,” said Dicky darkly, as if he were contemplating demanding a meal at a pistol’s point. A comely Englishwoman of about 40 years opened the door in answer to Dicky’s sounding of the quaintly carved knocker. He lifted his hat wvith a courtly bow as he saw her, “We were told at Putnam Manor tnat we might be able to get dinner here, he began. “We came down from the city this morning expecting that the inn would be open. But we found it closed and we are very hungry. Would it be possible for you to accommodate us? Luck’s Pleasant Smile. 1 had never seen Dicky's manner more winning. Yet the woman hesi- tated perceptibly before answering nim. Looking at her closely I saw +hat her eyes were red from weeping, and that there were traces of tears on her lashes. I recalled that as she opened the door I had heard the sound of an upstairs door closing. Intuitively I felt that this Mrs. Gor- man must be in sore trouble. 1 knew snstinctively that it was not her own sorrow, but that of her sister, the beautiful girl whom we had last seen gallantly tramping the country road, and whom Dicky had so wished to en- gage as a model. T could not tell how I knew this, yet 1 was as sure of it as if the woman hefore me had told me all of her troubles. She had recovered herself PARSONS’ THEATRE—Hartford lday & Sat., Dec. 17-18— (Mat.

Friday and Crown,” Black- by the time I had finished my mental survey of her and beckoned us in. “1 think we shall be able to give you a fairly good dinner,” she said with a simple directness that pleased me, “My husband went fishing yes- terday, and I have some very good ran fish, and some fresh oysters. hed vou are very hungry I can give you the oysters almost at once, and it will not take very long to broil the fish. Then, if you care for anything like that, we had an old-fashioned chicken ple for our own dinner. There is Ilenty of it still hot if you Wwish to try it.” “Madam,” Dicky bowed again, «“Chicken pie is our long suit, and we are also very fond of oysters and fish. Just bring us everything you happen to have in the house, and T can assure vou we will do full justice to it She smiled and went to the foot of the staircase, which had a mahogany stair rail carved exquisitely. “Grace,” she called melodiously. «There are two people here who will take dinner. Will you show them into my room, so they can lay aside their wraps?” Without waliting for an answer, she ‘motioned us toward the staircase, “My sister will take care of you,” <he said, and hurried out of another door, which we realized must lead to the kitchen. Dicky and I looked at each other when she had left us. “The begutiful unknown,” Dicky said in a stage whisper. “Try to get cn the good side of her, Madge. If I can get h to pose for that set of outdoor illustrations Fillmore wants, my fortune’s made, and her's too,” he burfesqued. T nudged him to stop talking. tave a very quick ear, and I had heard a light footstep in the hall above us. As we reached the top of the stairs the girl of whom we were talking met us. I acknowledged unwillingly to my- self that she was even more beautiful tnan she had appeared on the train. I She was gowned in a white linen skirt, and white “middy,” with white tennis shoes and white stockings. Her dress was most unsuitable for the winter day, although the house was warm, but with another flash of remem- brance of my own past privations, I realized the reason for her attire. This costume could be tubbed and ironed if it became solled. It would siand a good deal of wear. Her other clothing must be kept in good con- dition for the times when she must g0 outside of her home. A Sinking Heart. But if she had known of Dicky's mission and gowned herself according- 1y she could not have succeeded better in satisfying his artistic eve. He slared at her open-mouthed as she spoke a conventional word of greet- ing, and showed us into a bedroom Fung with chintzes and bright with the winter sunshine “The bathroom is just opposite,” she said as she left the room after straightening a shade and pulling a couple of chairs nearer the window. “You will find fresh towels and soap if you wish them.” She was as calm, as unconsciously regal as she had been in thq train. There was no trace of tears on her face, such as I had seen on her sister’s. Evidently she was able to control her grief, whatever, it was. I knew, however, that she was not as indifferent to Dicky’s opsn admiration as she appeared. The slightest heightening of the color in her cheek, a quickly-veiled flash of her eyes in nis direction—these things I noticed in the short time she was in the room with us. Was Dicky too absorbed in his plan for his drawings to see what I had seen? His words appeared to indi- cate that he was. ‘“Gee!” He drew a long breath as we heard Miss Draper—the name I had heard the ’bus driver give her— going down the stairs. “If I get a chance to talk to her today I'm going to make her promise to save that rig to pose in. She’s the exact image of what T want. And graceful! ‘Grace by name and grace by nature’ The old saw certainly holds good in her case.” I did not answer him. As I laid aside my furs and removed my hat | and coat I felt a distinct sinking of | the heart. I knew it was foolish, but the presence of this girl in whom Dicky displayed such interest took all the pleasure out of the day's outing.

DOUBLE BILL AT POLI'S THIS WEEK Difficult as is the problem of pre- senting a stock production each week with the learning of lines, rehearsing, etc., the Poli Players establish what is believed to have been unheard of in stock producing circles next when a double bill will be presented. 1t is true that some stock companies have presented different productions the first and last half of the week, the Poli Players will go this record one better by presenting one play for the first five rmatinees of the week and another play the six evenings and Saturday afternoon.

In George Bernard Shaw’s roma tic comedy, “Pygmalion,” which Mrs. Campbell and her London company will present at The Parsons theater on Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee, Mrs. Campbell is seen in the part of Eliza Doolittle, an unkempt, vulgar and slangy flower girl of the slums of London. The la: three acts of the play show her being transformed by a professor of phon- etics, whose hobby is dialect and pro- nunciation, into a woman possessing the manners and graces of a duchess. The final acts afford Mrs. Campbcll her extr. ordinary good taste in the matter of costumes.
