Promptly on the following morning it was David who was on trial in the newsappers, especially in the party or- gans under the Rourkes’ influence. For, in answer to David's charges against the Rourke code, the Rourkes came back with charges agair David’'s character. “David Temple was discharged from my employ,” Timothy Rourke was quoted in the newspapers. “I found out that he had designed the factory in Stanton, Pa., which collapsed with loss of life. He was not indicted for that, but dismissed from the service of the Colony Park Realty company. When I learned this I discharged him, which caused him to muckrake the build- ing code.” David and Cora read Rourke’s statement together at breakfast. Co: face went pale. “Why—why—what a horrible thing to David’s face hardened and his lips thi He took his hat and coat. “I'm going to answer this in the newspapers,” he said as he went out. His first visit was to the office of Rourke’s personal organ, the “Star,” which had printed the longest and most derogatory version of Rourke’s charge. David had a hard time in seecing the editor and got little satisfac- tion when he did see him. “Do you deny that you desi asked the editor. “No, but; “Do you deny that you were compelled to leave the service with whom You were connected as architect at the time of the collapse?” “No, - ) “Then we can do nothing for you'in our columns, walking into his private office. He fared little better, although ne got more courte: the opposition papers. “Sorry, Mr. Temple, code, not yourself.

But we can devotc no more space to that 5 told. is face a look of ister brooding. Cora, who had gone through a purgatorial day of her own, drew a brief account from David of his visits to the newspapers. She tried to comfort him, but gave it up as hopeless. She then sat down at some sewing ostensibly, but really to watch his face. David had expected a counter attack, but not so soon and so wicked a thrust. Then he thought he would get an equal chance to answer the attack in the ne pers and found himself helpless in that divection. He writhed under Rourke’s lie, the more so hecause Rourke had so skillfully woven it of ap nt truth. He saw this broadcast publication of the charge against him doing him incalculable harm in his attempt to get on his feet again in New York. Everywhere he turned he saw Rourke's triumphant face leering wickedly at him. Then an overwhelming, irresistible passion swept over him to crash his fist again and again into that wicked, piggish face and wipe that leer out forever. He leaped to his feet, seized his hat and coat and rushed almost to the door. | | | | iow the Night Passed, ! 4 my life I have laughed at su erstition, prided myself that therc s not in me the slightest trace of or supernormal. voice de- voice trembled with the inter of her own emotion. ‘I no lik but I know.

BILLIE BURKE IN ROLE OF DETECTIVE | Having resolved to trace dawn the murderer of her fiance, Freneau, Glo- ! ria Stafford (Billie Burke), in chapter one of the attractions at Fox’s for to- and tomorrow, begins her investi- gation by paying a visit to the offices of Mulry and Freneau, of which her | lover was the junior partner. She finds things there that lead her to be- lieve that he was not all tiat o lover should be, but refuses to c ‘nvict him until she has more tangibl, - vids ce. In this chapter Billie Bur«s appears in widow’s weeds, which a.v ihe very | lotest in this line. In addition to the above William Fox will offer the fa- maus screen star Theda Bara in “Her Double Life,” a story of a poor girl who rises by deceit. Mary Doone (Theda Bara) scrubs floors until one day she hears the voice of the past of | the Refuge as she is passing by. She goes inside. Then Mary’s life begins snew. It reaches a second turning point when the injustice by which she has risen to a high place in London society exposed. The supporting cast in this production is up to the rsual standard of Fox features, and includes the villain of 1,000 photo- plays, Stuart Holmes. The Pathe Weekly, “Sce America First” travel film and a George Ovey comedy, en- titled “The Rookie,” complete this in- structive and entertaining pragram.

The stage bids for response from different emotions. There are romances that seek out temperament, tragedies that find a response in dra- matic instinct, but dearer to the hearts of all is the farcical comedy that cheers and rouses the humor in us. “Some Baby” is a typical play of the latter kind. Never mind its story. Do not get worked up over its plot. Just imbue yourself with the idea that it’s a laugh producer, a destroyer of worrles and cares and you will be ful- | Iy prepared for a jolly mirthful two hours within the glare of the foot- lights. The company that will the several parts of this pla to be of exceptional merit, with Grace Merritt, who reached stellar honors in “When Knighthood Was In Flower “The Blue Mouse” at the head.

It is a play that cannot fail to appeal. It carries a message of the heart, an atmosphere that the most blase’ of theatergoer welcome. It unfolds, in novel manner, the love story of delightfully real “Friend Martha,” the lovable, re- Quaker maiden who rebels at though severe Quaker i loving rebelling learns the minuet and the ! game of love as taught adeptly by her I mon-Qual or neighbor. The situations of the charming vehicle are all unique and furnish action aplenty and come- dy of the real, quaint school. The ame qualities of refreshing simplicity an! charm which characterized “The Littlest Rebel,” *“A Pair of Sixes” and the never-to-be-forgotten “Prince Chap” distinguish Mr. Peple’s new- est comedy. Its characters are dra- matic creations which will be remem- bered and its action will make the theatergoer sit up in his seat into which he will not once slump during the four acts of the play. “Friend Martha” will be presented here by a notable cast including Oza Qaldrop, Edward Emery, Charles A. Stevenson, | Cooper Cliffe, Reginald Denny, Mabel Burt, Jack Daffael, Ida Mulles, Gladys airbanks, Walter Walker, Walter How 1d other: DOG SHOW FEATURE AT DANBURY FAIR The premium lists for the Danbury fair dog show are now in the mail, and will furnish the dog fanciers with | several surpri One of them is the | liberality of the classification, which has been amplified by the addition of numerous ¢ , and the providing fications for several br hitherto neglected in making up the list for this show. Another factor that will tend to make the thirty-third annual dog show of the Danbury Agricultural so- cety, to be held in connection with 1he Danbury fair, on Octaber 4, 5 and 6, interesting, is the amount of money | to be won. There is money in every class, besides $10 to the first, $5 to the second and $3 to the third prize win- ners in every open class. This, in con- nection with an enlarged classification nd plenty of specials, will give every xhibitor a chance to leave Danbury with money in his pocket. Unclassi- fied specials will also be an added fea- ture—there is quite a list of them, and Lere, t00, the Danbury Agricultural soclety gives a large number of spe- cials.

He entertains with a lot of 0dd “bits” which he classifies as “The Follies of Vaudeville” and the aulience responds with enthusiasm. Billy played in New Britain a number of years ago, filling the role of Grimes, the bellboy, in Hoyt's big attraction. He is a clever little comedian and hi act this weelk is one of the best spe- cialties which the Keeney manage- | ment has offered this season. The other two numbers on the bill also meet with approval. “The Devil's Revue” is a musical comedy number. It is a fantastic sort of a thing and it has many features that commend it to a novelty-secking playgoer. Schenk and D'Arville sing and dance in pleas- ing fashion. Charlie Chaplin in *“The Count” con- tinues to be the photoplay hit of the week. The pieture is one of the fun- niest things in which the eccentric performer has appeared. Tonight's feature on the film pro- gram will be Dorothy Davenport in Frederich Isham’s powerful story of the nation’s peril, “Black Friday.” Pokes and Jabs will scramble about in | would ha An Aerial Joyride.” For tomorrow for Theater Goers and Women Reader Sma F Choose what the need and HAVE IT CHARGED —You may pay the Convenient Weekly opened.

Of all the innumerable kinds of sel- fishness I think there are few less ex- cusable than keeping to one’s self the complimentary things that one thinks. It’s such a dog-in-the-manger trick. You don’t get any pleasure out of keeping them, while the people to whom you should have given them re gotten a great deal. Last night when I was brushing my hair I remembered how lovely my sis- ter's hair had looked when she came down to breakfast in the morning. Hair and Finger Nails Are Health Barometers. The hair and the finger nails, they say, show a loss or gain In vitality the most quickly, and her hair had shown her improved health, by heightened color and increased life. Moreover, the damp morning had pro- | ducea several charming little curls and a chance felicity in the placing of the coil at just the right angle gave the finishing touch. That was what I had thought. And what had I sald? Not one word. Why? That Queer Constraint In Being Nice to Those We Love. I don’t know. I think someone had aistracted my mind by asking what that strange constraint we are apt to feel about saying nice things to those we love best tied my tongue. Anyhow I didn’t speak and the whole matte slipped my mind until the act of brushing my own hair brought it back. If we could only manage to clear away the rubbish of carelessnes constraint or whatever it is chokes the passage through w a thought compliment gets into words, what a lot of happiness we would add to the general fund! I am sure many unhappy, or just not happy, marriages would become actively happy if the parties tried this. I How Much Better Brothers ters Would Get Along. And think how would be more brothers and sisters while.
