An international congress of women was in session there and the question arose of making ‘“Woman'’’ the official organ of the great femin- istic movement represented at the congress. It was an opportunity for the magazine of the most _valuable kind. “I'm afraid we’ll both have to go,” Roy Nicoll said to Janet. “There are considerations of business that I sim- ply must attend to in this matter. And women will want to see the person- ality which is to interpret them and represent them in their officlal organ, S0 you see you've got to be there, too!” Janet nodded. She realized the call was on her as a business woman— and she obeyed it without qualm or hesitation. Nicoll looked at his watch. “If we go in my car,” he said, “we’ll save half an hour and get there in time for the evening session. The committee takes up the matter tonight. The convention will act on it tomorrow morning and you’ll have to say a few words if this matter goes through—as it will. So you’ll have tc stay over. Shall you need much time to pack your bag?” he said. Janet was already putting on her hat and coat. “I can be ready in half an hour,” she said. “I'll be at your house in the chine, then,” Nicoll said, as briskly started for her home. She found Walt doggedly at work, against the grain, as she knew from his expression. The energy of despair ‘was upon him. He had risen at dawn and worked till late for days. The only relaxation he permitted himself was the hour at their evening meal. It almost tore her heart-strings to leave him even for a night. But she told him in a few words what was taking her and Nicoll out of town, and Walt nodded briefly. “Good luck,’ he said, kissing her at the door, and smiling with an effort that taxed all his strength. “And to you, my dearest dear!" she cried from a heart so full of sym- ma- Janet Off the Road pathy for him that it was all she could do not to fling off her wraps and refuse to go on this errand—so typi- cal of all that took her out of his life. But she had put weakness and sentimentality aside in taking this big work upon herself, and she must go through with it “manfully,” She kissed Walt again, gave a final pat to his cheek and dashed off. It was 4 in the afternoon when she and Nicoll started off in his machine. Glowering stormclouds gave the as- pect of late dusk. “We'll be racing a storm,” said, glancing at the sky. why I took the closed car.’ By the time they had struck sparsely peopled part of their run, night had closed in. The powerful headlights of Nicolls car showed the only light about them. The prelude of howling wind turned to crashing thunder. Rain broke down upon them like a cloudburst. Lightning dimmed the guiding power of the big lamps of the car. Nicoll had stopped talking of the business ahead of them and grew silent, his whole thought ap- parently on the motor. Something wss troubling hira. “Is there anything—anything not on the schedule?” Janet laughed ner- vously, feeling that there was very much in their situation which was not of the ordinary. “Well—the road doesn’t seem to be as smooth as a main road should be,” Nicoll said, peering out into the storm. He had slowed the car down consid- erahly. “I'm sure I followed the right course,” he added in a tone’ whose anxiety showed he was not sure. Suddenly there was a severe shock, the machine turned at right angies to its course and stopmed dead. “Hit something, I'm afraid!” Nicoll said, shutting off the power. He climbed out of the car and the storm swooped in with a howl. Janet Nicoll “That’s the the car. Then only the storm sound- ed. After a long wait Nicoll came back, drenched. “I'm afrald we're in trouble,”” he sajd. “Brake’s bent and were off the ' road. SIDE TALKS BY RUTH CAMERON — “This Once upon a time I ran across a magazine article in which readers were asked to send in what they considered the most terrible word in the English language. “Blood’,’ “Death"”, ‘“Alone”, “For- ever”, were some of the words that were submitted by the largest num- ber. Jf someone would run a contest asking for the werd that has done the most harm, and would admit phrases as well as single words, I would have a contribution ready to submit. It would be “This Once.” The Child Uses It In His Teasing. “Mayn’t I stay up later this once “Mayn’'t I skip my practicing this once?” So the child teases until comes to hate the sound of Once."” But it was no so much of child’s use of the phrase that I {hinking, as of the grown-up's.

This wonderful picture created a sensation on Broadway where it was shown to crowded houses for several weeks, the price of tickets running from $2 to $4. The Keeney management, however, has decided to show it in New Britain without any increase in the admis- sion fee. The rights for the film are very expensive. Nevertheless there is & big demand among enterprising theater owners for the film and Mr. McMahon regards the closing of a contract for the showing of the pic- ture in New Britain as a considerable achievement. The photoplay will be given here in its entirety. Marguerite Clark in ‘“Mice and Men.” Tonight’s picture leader will be An episode in the Pathe serial, ‘“The Shielding Shadow,” and a new chap- ter in ‘“Liberty” are also to form a part of the program. For the last half of the week the management has billed for Lasky production, “The Golden Chance,” featuring Cleo Ridgeley and Wallace Reed. § Theo, the balloon girl, is the vaude- ville sensation of the week.

The Nieuw Amsterdam was only five miles away, and the wreckage of the mine sweeper was on the water as the liner passed into the harbor. The captain said the mine had been laid by a German submarine and was a sample of the new German method for blockading British ports. These mines were laid in pairs, he said, and had done such damage that the ports of Liverpool, Falmouth, Hull, Grims- by, Southampton, Plymouth and the Thames estuary had been closed at times while mine sweepers cleared the channels. A CLEAR COMPLEXION Ruady Cheeks—Sparkling Eyes —Most Women Can Have Says Dr. Edwards, a Well-Known Okio Physician Dr. F. M. Edwards for 17 years treated scores of women for liver and bowel ailments. During these years he gave to his patients a prescription made of a few well-known vegetable ingredi- ents mixed with olive oil, naming them Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets, you will know them by their olive color. These tablets are wonder-workers on the liver and bowels, which cause a nor- mal action, carrying off the waste and poisonous matter in one's system. If you have a pale face, sallow look, dull eyes, pimples, coated tongue, hea aches, a listless, no-good feeling, all out of sorts, inactive bowels, you take one of Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets nightly for a time and note the pleasing results. 1 Thcusands of women as well as nien | take Dr. Edv s’ Olive Tablets—the successful substitute for calomel—now and then just to keep in the pink of con- dition. 10c and 25c per b All druggists. the Delicious Taste N.

Dicky! how could you do such a thing, and let me do it also? Why 1 feel like a criminal.” “No doubt,” Dicky replied sardoni- cally, “but you also made me feel like a blooming chump standing out here in the hall, blatting out your sorrow for everybody to hear. For heaven's A Walk, sake, if vou're going to hold a prayer | meeting about this, come inside and shut the door.” 1 obeyed his suggestion so promptly that he looked puzzled—he is not ac- customed to docility in me when we are having any controversy. But I had been startled into acquiesence by the sight of Mrs. Allis’ door opening stealthily and almost inperceptibly outward. I knew that she must be listening, and the idca frightened me. She was too unscrupulous a woman' to be allowed any knowledge whatever of one’s private affairs. T knew better, however, than to ex- | plain the real reason for my action to Dicky. I preferred letting him be astanished at my docility to revealing the fact of Mrs. Allis’ espionage. I " saw that he was perilously near one of his fits of temper—that the incident of the woman's opening door would be just the thing to set him going. I made a quick resolve to lay aside all discussicn of the law until another time, although I knew that all pleas- ure in my mountain trip was over.

A Glorious Tramp, “I'll be ready for the tramp in a minute,” I said. “Let’s strike off down the stream instead of up this time. I'm crazy to try that fascinating wagon track up the mountain which we saw just before we got to the station here.” Dicky looked at me curiously for a moment: “Blamed if I can make you out!” he said, grinning reluctantly. “One minute you're raving over leading you into crime, because we've caught a ! trout or two out of season, and the next minute you're as quiet as a Kit- ten. DBut I don’t care what's made the change as long as you've clam- bered down from your high horse—I hate that angelic pose of yours.” “It’s not the angelic pose,” I re- torted. ‘‘But, tell me, Dicky, is there any danger that we may be arrested for fishing out of season?” “Not one chance in a thousand, unless some one reports us,” Dicky re- turned. “This place 1is something like Halpin’s, where I used to go, so isolated that there is no chance for tattling neighbors to find out what's going on along the banks of the stream.” “But suppose someone should report " I persisted. “Oh, I'd have to loosen up with some kale for fines, I suppose,’”’ said Dicky easily, tapping the money belt which. when on a journey, he always wears ingeniously concealed under his outer clothing. “Unless,” he added, mischeviously, “they’'d happen to want 1 to make horrible examples of us, and lock us up in the calaboose over night.” “Oh, Di 1 wailed, taking his words seriously cauvght the twinkle in his knew he was teasing me. “Don’t worry,” Dicky laughed, “‘For crime unknown I go to a dun- geon’s cell’ won’t be said of you just yet.” He chanted the famous line from “Pinafore” so lugubriously that I put my hands to my ears. “Do stop, Dicky.” give me the n horrified, until I eye and T begged, “vou peni- come But T put it | We had a most glorious tramp up the mountain, ' But I was so tired when we reached the farmhouse again that I declared my intention at the | supper table of going directly to bed. “Then you will not join me in tea tonight?” Mrs, Allis asked carelessly. But I saw a watchful gleam in her eyes. “I should go to sleep talking to vyou,” I returned lightly. ‘““Tomorrow night you can count upon me.” But when the next night came Dicky promptly vetoed my going to the other woman'’s room. Madge Refuses Tea. “It’s too near the end of the week of which she and her accomplice spoke,” he said. “We don’t know whether it's tonight or tomorrow night i they are planning to pull off that stunt * of stealing the' pictures. I may be mistaken, but I still cling to my first theory that the reason for her inviting you to drink tea all these evenings has been to get the chance to slip some dope into your cup so you'd sleep soundly on the night she wanted you out of the way.” “Tell her I'm sick,” Dicky re- sponded, nonchalantly. “I am, too— T've got an awful palpitation of the | heart from all this excitement. And if we take turns watching tonight, as we ought to—for nobody knows | whether she intends to pull that stunt tonight or tomorrow night—I shall be in a state of nervous exhaustion by morning, so you won't be telling any tarradiddle.” I compromised with my consclence, however after T had knocked at Mrs. Allis’ door and she had greeted me with her most winning smile, “I'm sorry not to be able to come in for tea,” I said. *“Mr. Graham is i feeling a little upset, and I think T ought to stay with him.” “Oh, I hope he is not ill,” she said. “Oh, no,” I responded, ‘“but he doesn’t like to have me leave him.

Colorful, gripping, filled with ro- mance and adventure, Willlam Fox's newest photoplay, “The Island of De-¢ sire,” is destined to be ons of biggest motion picture sensations the year. No expense has been spared by the producer in making this feature a spectacle of unusual proportions. A story which engrosses from its very outset, has been admirably interpreted by an excellent cast of actors, headed by Gearge Walsh and Margaret Gib- son. The result is a film worthy of unstinted praise. The latest edition of the Pathe News and other fcatures will be on the same program of the of photoplays and Miss Rose Des Rosiers » will offer a new selection in the Wed- nesday and Thursday program. It was announced by the Feox thea- ter management that the Metro Serial, “The Great Secret,” featuring Francis X. Bushman and Miss Beverly Bayne, is booked for the house and will open at an early date to run two days cach week for fifteen weeks. In “The Great Secret,” it is claimed, Bushman is at his best and the wide range of Miss Bayne's power as. a screen star is emphasized by the fact that she stepped from the role of Shakespeare’s Juliet into that of a modern New York girl. It is in the latter part she is seen in “The Great Secret.”” Her last motion picture ap- pearance was with Mr, Bushman in “Romeo ard Juliet.” BIG FOUR SINGS WELL AT GRAND 4 “The Big Four,” a clever quartet of singers, is the big feature of the Roseland Girls burlesquers appearing at the Grand theater Hartford ;this week. It is a treat to listen to the boys dispense harmony, and their ef- forts met with appreciation, many en- cores having followed their renditions. The company is not the best that has appeared at the theater this season, but the performance is up to that of the majority. Sollv Ward, the star, and Stella Wood, the soubrette, work hard to please and are fairly suc- cessful. Lynn Cantor possesses a voice that is operatic but she handles it acceptably in the several numbers she is called upon. The work of the chorus is mediocte. What some fall to possess in the art of singing they make up in weight. § The Spot That Hurts Many of the most intense body pains are of local origin and can be quickly, relieved and overcome by @ single application of Min- ard’s liniment. It is best | for sore, strained, muscles, stiff neck, Ium- bago, sciatica, rheumatic paing, backache, stiff joints, tired, aching, burning, itch- ing feet, and sprains. It gives ¥ instant healing relief; is creamy, anti~ septic, free from injurious drugs and stainless to flesh and clothing. Surely try this wonderful liniment and sea how quickly it brings soothing relief. It never disappoints. Get a bottle today. | SAYS HOT WATER . WASHES POISONS ‘| FROM THE LIVER Everyone should drink hot water with phosphate In It, before breakfast. To feel as fine as the proverbial fiddle, we must keep the liver washed clean, almost every morning, to pre- vent its sponge-like pores from clog=- ging with indigestible material, sour iile and poisonous toxins, says a noteq physician. If you get headaches, it’s your liver. If you catch cold easily; its your liver, Irf you wake up with a bad taste, furred tongue, nasty breath or stoms ach becomes rancid, its your liver. Sallow skin, muddy complexion, wztery eyes all denote liver uncleans liness. Your liver is the most im» portant also the rmost abused and reglected organ of the body. Few know its function or how to release the Dammed-up body waste, bile and toxins. ' Most folks resort to violent celomel, which is a dangerous, sali- vating chemical which can only be used occasionally because it accumu: lates in the tissues, also attacks the bones. Every man and woman, sick or well, should drink each morning before breakfast, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phos- phate in it, to wash from the liver and bowels the previous day’s indigestible material, the poisons, sour bile and texins; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. o Limestone phosphate does not res strict the ‘diet like calomel, because it can not salviate, for it is harmlesst and you can eat anything afterwards a demonstration of how hot water and Tt is inexpensive and almost tasteless, any any pharmacist ‘will gell you a auarter pound, which is sufficient for limestone phosphate cleans, stimu- lates and freshens. er, keeping you fceling fit day in and day out.
