The orchestra is composed of first class musicians and their fine effort adds greatly to the attractiveness of the show, In the new show tonight William Fox presents Miss Valeska Suratt as the gir! in the great dramatic feature, “The Victim,” Miss Suratt is proving a great drawing card especially with ladies, as she wears the costliest and greatest variety of exquisite gowns of any female star in the movies today. Miss Suratt by her thoughtfulness, has forever endeared herself to a number of the young people of New Britain who had the pleasure of meeting her at the Fox studio in New York last week, where they went to complete the production of “The Trapper.” The New Britain visitors enjoyed the pleasure of witnessing Miss Suratt playing a big scene for the “'Cars o a scene in one of the Fox featurc. be released in the near future. “The Trapper continues to draw the crowds and please them and many are the compliments the New Britain thespians have had on their initial bow to the footlights.

I scrupulously kept my bargain with Dicky to ‘forget everything else save fishing far the rest of -the day.” Resolutely putting out of my mind all thoughts of the queer stranger I had met or the exciting mystery at the Cosgrove farmhouse in which we were involved, I started up the stream at his side, determined to let nothing in- terfere with my enjoyment of my first trouting expedition. | Not that I had any need for resolu- tion to keep my mind upon my rod and reel. The fascination of the sport had gripped me, and in a few moments I was oblivious to everything clse in the world save the beautiful | tumbling mountain stream in the Cats Kkills and the finny trophies we weve wresting from its pools. For I had “beginners’ luck,” which Dicky, thought not a novice, shared.| The first trout in my creel which the | queer unknown had helped me get was soon joined by others equally large, | while Dicky Jlanded three speckled beauties in rapid succession. “Madge, vou're a mascot!” he ex claimed, as he deposited the last one| in his creel, after an exciting tussle in | which the fish nearly got away. “I've whipped this stream many times, but I never had such goad luck he- fore. T've got to slip it to you on this proposition too. For a beginner vou cast marvelously well. You take to this thing as a fish does to water.” “You mean as these fish would lik to take to water.” T corrected mis- chievously. The little quip was sil enough, but Dicky appeared to find it highly amusing, his loud laughter echoing weirdly among the trees. “That's a goad one,” he declared, | and then, coming impulsively over toward me, he drew me into a roughly tender embrace. They Pind a Path, bully little woods sweetheart,” he id, rubbing cheek against mine, “I'm sorry I was so shabby at first. 1 was | a selfish beast, and it served me right | to lose the chance to help you land your first trout.” 1 put my hand against his lips, “Let's not spoil a perfect moment by remembering anything, pleasant or | unpleasant,” T said softly, Dicky drew me closer and kissed me for answer. I returned his kiss with a feeling of blissful content I had not | experienced for weeks. The shadow ' of Grace Draper’s terrible act, and the furtive doubt she had planted in mind, which had been with me | so long, slunk away as if exorcised by { the bracing air and wonderful beauty in which we stood. It was one of m rare moments of perfect happine and it gave a zest to every remaining moment of the day. It was late in the afternoon when we finally turned our footsteps toward the Cosgrove farmhouse and supper. Mrs, Cosgrove had put us up a sub- antial luncheon, but the autumn a heady as champagne, had sharpened | ! our appetites until the one thing more | desirable to us than catching trout was the eating of them. “Hello, here’s a path leading up,” Dicky exclaimed in relief ,after he had nearly twisted his ankle in the creeping vines that twined among the underbrush. “By Jove, Madge, look here, how's this for a Fenimore | Cooper situation?" T stepped ta his side, and saw what he meant in an instant. - The path was | arranged so that it could be masked by a sort of curtain of vines which had | been carefully cut and trimmed until it hung over the underbrush in such a manner as effectually to conceal the CASTORIA The Kind You Have Atways Bought T “You'r pal, a A his Bears the Signature of awfully | I e e | pushed little track, and vet be easily aside by any ome in the secret was so cleverly constructed that should never have discovered it Dicky, walking close to the for me, had not caught his foot the vine curtain and slightly torn “We'll just see where this lead Dicky said, and I knew by his and his sparkling eves that he both curious and excited. *“Ready an adventure, Madge?” “An “Of course,” I returned, as and excited as he, and we walked the path, first carefully replacing vine curtain which marked its trance.

A screen will not only conceal unornamental fea- tures of a room, but will create in their place really artistic environment. To break an excess of unfilled wall or floor space, it serves admirably. As a barrier to draughts from windows or doorways, its value will be appreciated. These and other purposes to which they are adapted, make them extremely useful and desirable.
