Cora waited for the was coming. ‘“The fly is the rotten building code low,” David continued. “And not only to swallow to swallow it, too. Well, I'll throw the whole me go out and tell the public how hideous a mess it is. “Then you're throwing up the whole situation?” Cora asked pirit- edly. Once more, then, it was to be a drop to the foot and the painful be- ginning all over again, “You would not have me do otherwise?” David asked sharply. wouldn't have me betray the public into the hands of grafters?” “No,” sald Cora shaking her head slowly. “There’s nothing start anew elsewhere and forget this whole horrid business. David winced at the heaviness of heart he was bringing to his wife. “But don’t vou see, Cora, ‘forgetting’ the whole horrid business is as bad as swallowing it,” he said gently. Cora looked up startled, with an in- tuition of what was coming. “Yes, dear, if I forget the rotten building code they'll put it over on the public with the aid of some other archi- tect.” “Then what do you intend to do about it?” Cora asked anxiously. “I'm going to warn the public of the dishonest code the Rourke gang is trying to put over on them,” David said grimly. “If the Rourke gang has its way, tenement homes in this eity will be without air, without light, without sufficient fire escapes and will be built of flimsy junk. They will be nests for disease, traps for fire victims, and they'll collapse like the factory I built. I know the factory collapse was not my fault. But I'm near enough the horror of it to feel it weighing on me. And I shall be no party to such calamities multiplied a thousandfold.” “But, David, you don’t have to do any more than resign from the whole business, do you?” Cora insisted. *How will you be a party to what happens if you have actually refused to have anything to do with it?” David looked at her long and perplexedly. “Cora, it seemed to me for one moment a and selfish,” he said slowly. “But I know, of course, that you are just the opposite. And vet here you were ready to let me step ‘aside and permit a gang of wreckers to undermine the tracks ahead of a train full of men, women and children—and the least fortunate men, women and children on earth, too—the tenement dwellers! I could not understand it. But now I see why. It is because I put the situation to you too abstractly. And women are not moved as much by abstractions as by present and concrete considerations, it seems to me. “I know that you would not have me do anything dishonorable even if you had to starve to save me,” he continued. “But in this case, as in many others, not doing anything is the crime. Let’s picture the matter concretely. One day the six-story tenement at 584 Smith street catches fire. Because there were not sufficient fire escapes, a lot of poor foreign- ers who live in it are caught. Because of the flimsy material of which the tenement is built the fire eats it up like waste paper. Because of the weak skeleton the building collapses with people in it. And yet that tene- ment will have been built with all legal requirements fulfilled, according to the building code the Rourkes are trying to pass. Now do you see what is my clear duty?” “But what can you do to stop it—what will you do?” clasping her fingers. “You have no money or time to fight them And they’ll hound you; they'll make life miserable for vou.” “And suppose I don't do anything about the code?” David asked gently. “And when those tenements o up—and go down; and I tell you, dear, they will go_down—will life be any less miserable for me—for me who could have warned the public and did not?” He took her hands in his. “It's a hard question to put to you, dear little partner,” he said gent- ly. “But how are you going to answer it? Problemdi and his gang,” David outburst that she felt they want me to swal- it but to tell the city in their faces and “You to do but though you were callous Cora asked with.

GRAND THEATER HAS “20TH CENTURY MAIDS” The Century Maids,” with Jim Barton heading the cast, fresh from a tour which included an engagement of three months in New- ark during the anniversary celebra- tion, is announced as the attraction at the Grand theater, Hartford, this week, commencing with the matinee performance today. The adyent of this is one that has become an annual event, which is looked forward to by the regular patrons of burlesque, “this on, because of the tre- mendous which Newark received the organization, its appear- ance here is one that will appeal to the general theater-going public. The program that is to be presented here will be the same as was offered during the long run in Newark. It com- prises a one-act opening burlesque. During the action of the first part, there has been interpolated a series of French dances of the day, which are performed by Jules LaBarbe and Arline Dondaire, who are said to be the foremost of French pantomim- ists. The company and production comes to this city without a change having heen made in the cast since its Newark engagement. Jim Barton will be supported by many well-known fa- vorites, among whom are John Barry, Arthur Young, Drena Mack, Nellie O’Connor, Tim Howell. Mike Orbin, Arline Donaire, Jules LaBarbe and the beauty chorus of more than a score of girls, all of whom can sing and dance. In addition there is a male chorus of picked voices. “Twentieth Little Tommy Tucker tried to fill his toy bal- loon with his mother’s nice fresh hot biscuits— He heard his “muver” say D & C biscuits were light enough to fly— But his mother made more in a jiffy—she says DsC Is the Flour for me SELF-RAISING D & C Coupons are being distributed from house to house antitling you to a package of D & C FREE.

My Voice re- worry as I answered her ‘Twa, one at 12:20, and the last, until morning, at 2 o’cleck.” “Well, I suppose we might as well lie down and get some sleep. They will probably be out on the last train.” “You don’t suppose” I began, then stopped. “That they've slipped aff the water wagon?” Lillian returned grimly. “That’s just what I'm afraid of. We will know in a little while, anyway. Harry will begin to telephone me, and Jeep it up until he gets too hazy to remember the number. Come on, let's get off these clothes and get into comfortable negligees. We prob- ably shall have a long night of worry hefore u. I obeyed her suggestion, but I was wild with an anxiety which Lilllan evidently did not suspect. My ques- tion, which she had finished for me had not meant what she thought at 2ll. In fact, until she spoke of it that i bility had not occurred to me, It was a far different fear that was gripping me. I was afraid that Grace Draper had failed to keep the bargain she had made with Lillian to keep out f Dic way in return for Lillian’s silence concerning the Draper girl's mad attempt to drown me during our “desert island picnje.” ‘What Madge Feared. Whether or not my narrow escase from death had brought Dicky to a realization of what he meant to each other I could not tell. At any rate, he never had been more my royal lover than in the five days since my accident. Indeed, Lad made but one trip to the city be- side this with Harry Underwood, the return from which we were so anxiously awaiting. ‘When the men left in the morning they had told us not to plan dinner at home, but to be ready to accompany them to a nearby resort for a ‘“shore dinner,” as they were coming out on the 5 c*clock ir: . No wonder that at 10:30 Lillian and I were both anxious and tated. i Dicky’s behavior toward me since Ceath so nearly gripped me certainly had given me no reason to doubt that his infatuation for Grace Draper was at an end. But no one except myself knew how apparently strong her hold bud been on Dicky through the weeks of the late summer, nor how ruthless her own mad passion for him was. Had she reconsidered her bargain? Was she making one last attempt to 1cgain her hold upon Dicky? Another thought struck me, one cven more terrifying than the other. I had read of desperate women who, when the end of their hopes came, did not hesitate to kill the men whom they loved as well as themselves .Suppose— 1 could not keep my fears to myself longer. ““Oh Lillian,” I gasped, ‘‘do you sup- pose Grace Draper would try to kill Dicky or herself? Perhaps something terrible has happened that they are not here.” A Lonesome Vigil. Lillian looked at me fixedly. i could see that I had startled her, rerhaps had alarmed her. But with characteristic thought for me she hid any fears of her own behind a mask. “Don’t worry about that possibility,” she said, her voice carcfully cool and cynical. “The Draper is altogether too cold-blooded to do anything like that. If she could have quietly got- WOMAN SO WEAK GOULD NOT SLEEP Made Well by Lydia E.

No need to attempt a detailed description of the story on which the farce is built— a nonsensical idea beyond a doubt— the use of a newly dlscovered tonic to halt the ravages of age and turn back life to any period of existence desired, a magic concoction that totally de- stroys the idea of growing old. In the company to be scen are a number of clever comedy players, bheaded by Grace Merritt, whose earn- | forceful stage work has won for | place in her chosen | profession. “‘Some farcical Baby” was written | just for fun and is played for the | ame laudable purpose. And there | is no claim that it “points a moral to | adorn a tale.” It is just laughable, | amusing, enjoyable.

This remarkable drama will be the attraction at Fox today -and tomorrow. If you were young woman, born into the smartes set in New York society, if your younger sister had committed a crime, if in order to save her, you were forced to become a seccret agent of the ited States Customs to aid in the detection of a man who had smuggled a $200,000 necklace into this country—if you fell in love with the smuggler you were compelled to pursue, if it became a choice between Your sister and the man you loved, what would you do? This is one of the absorbing questions that is thril- lingly and dramatically answered in this elaborate picturization of “Under Cover.” The stirring elements of this celebrated drama have been woven into a photoplay of excitement, mys- ter; irrpise, love and laughter, that is vet not without its tear. As an added attraction for these two da the Triangle Plays will present Bessie Love and DeWolf Hopper in “Strand- ed.” This is a heart interest story of an actor of the old school, who falls in love with the little acrobat of the troupe, a girl scarcely out of her teens How he labors to make her bpy and finally sacrifices her life so that she may marry the man of her choice makes this a photoplay, with a theme that is out of the or- dinary.
