Why Is Mrs. Allis at the Farmhou I do not think anyone save myself at the Cosgrave supper table noticed the fear in M Cosgrove’s eyes when 1 said I was very sure that I could tell her twin sons apart, With the self-control, which could only have come through years of bit- ter training, she banished the terror from her e and turned easily to the boy in khaki garb. “Did ou say you caught two of them?” she replied, with a smile that showed her pride in the lad: “that's splendid! Are they big ones?” “Whoppers!” the boy returned, with an answering smile that must have addened the mother's heart—sa full bo, h love and admiration it w “They must be at least 14 pound apiece. And they’re young ones, too!” “Pretty good, Ned!” his father com- mented, “that means a good dinner to- morraw. Sit in now and eat your sup- per; then we'll take care of your beauties. Have yvou ever eaten real country roast turkey?” He turned to me as his son sat down and attacked his mother's good things with all the voracity of hungry boyhood. “Nat since I was a child,” T said, smiling. “I've eaten fowls that were called turkeys at restaurants, but you can imagine what they were like.” “Well, then vou'll certainly have a treat tomorrow,” Mr. Cosgrove said emphatically. “T had a mighty fine lot of young turkeys this year, but they all took to the woods on the mountain side to roost, and we have the Old Nick's own time catching them. But the boy find it as much sport as hunting wild turkeys would be. Ned here seems to have especial luck in getting them, so when we want a feast we send him out. And when vou tackle those turkeys fixed up by mother over there, I think vou will - There's nobody in can roast fowls the isn’t that so Mrs. at way mother does; Allis?’ The slender dark woman to whom 1 had taken an unaccountable aversion, looked up at her host with twinkling eves in which there was unmistakable c 50, she agreed, smiling into his eves and then throwing her hands aut with a pretty Gallic gesture, she added: ‘What a happy woman Mrs. Cos- i grove ought to be with her husband so ardent an admirer of all her vir- tues!” A Glint of Anger, There was a subtle mockery in the speech that made me realize why Mrs. Cosgrove disliked Mrs. Allis, a fact I had suspected when before Cosgrove had said it would be amusing ta see Mrs. Allis when she discovered that Dicky and T were married instead of being brother and sister as she had thought. Tt only needed this last little inci- dent to enable me to classify Mrs. Allls. T mentally pigeon-holed her as one of the women who take malicious delight in making other wamen un- comfortable in every way possible, She was not a woman of whom I could ever be jealous with the emotion that had made me so hate Grace Draper. Though Grace Draper had had a mad, ruthless passion for Dicky her nature was nat a petty one, But T put down Mrs. Allis as the slink- ing feline sort of woman who hurt people’s feelings in order to give her- self the same sort of pleasure that a cat would have in playing with a mouse. If the woman's petty maliciousness had been the only thing about her which T had noticed T would not have given her two minutes of thought, but there was an indefinable something | about her, an elusive, furtive air that made me susplcious of her. Ridiculous as I knew my feeling was, I had a queer little intuition that the woman was other than what she seemed, that she had reasons for being at the peaceful farmhouse other than her ostensible one of escaping the city’s heat. To my intuitive dislike of . the woman was added the sympathy I felt for Mrs. Cosgrove. That Mrs. Allis, with all the weapons of a woman of the world at her command, wag trying to make the Ilonely older woman of the farmhouse uncomfortable, not only by cat-like thrusts at her coakery and household manage- ment, but coquettish advances toward her jovial giant of a husband, 1 was very sure. As 1 saw again in Mrs., Cosgrove's eyes the glint of anger at Mrs. Allis’ mockery, I resolved that during the week I should be under the farmhouse roof I would do my level best ta make things as pleasant as possible for the hostess of the farmhouse and as un- pleaant as I could for the younger woman. ‘We finished the meal in a silence which evidently made jolly Mr. Cos- grove uncomfortable. For as soon as we had refused a third helping of food he pushed back his chair with alacrity. “If you folks have nothing better to do,” he said, ‘“‘suppose you come along into the parlor; there's some pictures of the mountains and streams around here that I think you'd like. My brother-in-law painted them, and most city people I've seen think they're pretty fine.” Madge Makes a Resolution. 1 knew that Dicky must be exceed- ingly bored by Mr. Cosgrove's request, It always annoys him to be asked to look at the work of amateurs. But-I forgot to look at him in my wonder at what I saw in the other faces around the supper table. In the eyes of Mrs. Cosgrove and her twin sons there was a tenseness of expression which made me believe that in one unaccountable way the paintings in the parlor were connected in some mysterious manner with the fear I had seen in Mrs. Cosgrove's eves when I had said I could tell her twin boys apart, But it was the expression in Mrs. Allis’ eyes that riveted my glance. At the mention of the pictures, although nat a muscle of her face had changed, her eyes had narrowed and into them had crept the same look of furtive watchfulness which I had seen my pet Angora give the pitcher of cream when she was waiting for her supper. Her look strengthened the impres- sion 1 had that there was some ulterior reason for her presence at the farmhouse. T became suddenly curious to see the paintings which could arouse such emotions. T made up my mind also to watch Mrs. Allis very closely. EVERYONE PRAISES LYCEUM SINGERS Hundreds of play-goers in New Britain are voluble in their praise of the Russwin Lyceum Musical Comedy company, which opened the season this week with ‘“The Time, the Place and the Girl.” Probably no company ever appearing here has received such genuine endorsement and the general opinion is that the company will be given such support that its stay in New Britain will continue until the warm weather of next spring.

Miss Belle Flower as the haughty grand dame also has her share of admirers. The dancing of Walter Wills, whose rapid fire meth- od of wooing is a revelation, has es- tablished his reputation beyond the slightest doubt. He is the life of the company. Musical selections by George Bogues and William Meehan contribute towards the success of the show while ‘“Ralph Sipperly gives an excellent impersonation of an agricul- turist fresh from the farm.

SPECIAL HOLIDAY PROGRAM AT FOX'S be given A special Thanksgiving program has been arranged for Fox's today and to- morrow, which will offer the many pa- trons of this house an opportunity of bidding one of their favorites farewell and another welcome. June Caprice, the new Fox star, will be welcomed back by her many admirers here. She appears in the latest Fox pro- duction *“The Miachief Maker.” The spirit of mischief runs rampant through the soul of Effie Marchand, the character portrayed by June Caprice in this feature. She is so full of fun that she keeps her aunt old lady decided that the boarding® school is the place for such beings. ‘While there she gets her companions into all sorts of scrapes. She gets herself in trouble by falling in love with a friend of her art teacher, and she marries him. Of course, this dis- appoints her aunt, with whom she lives. But when the old lady discov- ers that the man Effie married was the very one she had selected long ago, everything ends happily and* everybady is satisfled. The excep- tionally strong cast is headed by the well-known photoplay star Harry Benham. On the 'same program Miss Billle Burke will make her farewell appearance in “Gloria’s Romance.” This serial has been one of the most sucessful ever shown in New Britain, and the host of admirers of this facin- ating little star will have an oppor- tunity of seeing her as a Red Cross nurse, and also as Jullet, in the bal- cony scené from Romeo and Juliet. The balance of the program will of- fer some selected features including the every popular Pathe Weekly, with scenes from all parts of the world, The performance tomorrow, Thanks-, giving Day, will be continuous from 2 to 11 p. m.
