Mother Graham,” I protested, “please don’t look at it that way. You know how careful you have to be about your heart. We couldn’t let you undertake the task of nursing me, it would have been too much for you.” “Well, if your own mother were alive 'I don’t believe any one could have kept her from taking care of you,” ‘she returned stubbornly.

I put out my uninjured hand, clasped hers, and drew her toward me. “Mother dear,” I said softly, ‘‘please believe'me, it would be no different 1f my own little mother were here. $he, of course, would want to take care of me, but her frailness would have made it impossible. And I want you to know that I appreciate all your kindness.” Mother Graham's Good-Bye. She bent to kiss me. I'm a cantankerous old woman, sometimes,” she said quaveringly, “but I am fond of you, Margaret.” She released me so abruptly and went out of the room so quickly that I had no opportunity to answer her. But I lay back on my pillows, warm with happiness, filled with gratitude that in spite of the many contro- versies in which my husband’s mother and I had been involved, and the wverbal indignities which she had sometimes heaped upon me, we had managed to salvage so much real affection as a basis for our future re- lations with each ather, The reference to my own little mother, which I had made brought back to me the homesickness, the longing for her which comes over me often, especially when I am not feel- ing well. When Lillian returned she found me weeping quietly. “Here, this will never do!"” she said kindly, but firmly. “I'm not going to ask you what you were crying about, for I haven’t time to listen. I must fix you up to see a present which has Jjust come for you.” “A present?” I asked, diverted as I knetv Lillian hoped I would be, “Yes, an express package from that place up in the Catskill mountains where you went this fall, Cold Spring, wasn't it?” Robert Savarin’s Note, “You'll see in a minute,” returned among my pillows. Then she brought from the table where she had placed it a small, square package, addressed to “Mrs. Richard Graham, Marvin, L. 1" “Pleas open it quickly,” I pleaded, as a child might have done. Lillian cut the strings and undid the wrappings with hands that I was astonished to see trembled visibly as they worked. I looked quickly, fur- tively at her and saw that she was flushed, and her breath was coming unevenly. wrapping fell away, exquisite little landscape, signature *“Robert Savarin” corner, 1 echaed her exclamation, and then for several minutes lay admiring the beauty of the artist's work, too ab- sorbed to speculate upon the reason for Lillian’s evident/emotion. The scene the artist had reproduced was the bit of brookside where I had first seen him, when he had shown me haw to catch my first trout. The gor- geous autumnal coloring, the sparkle of the brook as it Tushed around the big stones were unfolded before my eyes again as they had been on that never-to-be-forgotten day. A small envelope was enclpsed with the picture. I broke the seal and read the few wards it enclosed: “Dear Mrs. Graham,” it said. “I feel that to you ard your husband I owe my chance to take up again the work .I love. This is the first thing I have done, and I want you to have it, hoping that whenever vou look at it you will femember that I am always at your service. Gratefully yours. “ROBERT SAVARIN.” I handed the nate to Lillian. “I do not deserve this,” I said. really did nothing for him.” Lillian read the mote slowly. When she finally looked up I saw that there were tears in her eyes. “It is like him,” she said. “There are few souls as highly tuned gnd deli- cate as his in the worls She stopped and she breathed as the last revealing a most with the in one “r ked at me : searchingly.

ERNEST GLEND] NEXT WE “EXPERIENCE"” CARRIES GREAT MORAL LESSON “Experience,” the much discussed morality drama by George V. Hobart, after having achieved phenomenal suczesscs in the other big cities comes to Parsons’ theater, Hartford, on Mon- day, April 30, for a third return en- gagement. This is the big produc- tion and orikinal cast which present- ed “Experience” during its run of nine months in New York, seven joyous months in Chicago, five months in Boston and five months in Philadel- phia. Nothing llke the extraordinary ap- \peal of “Experience” to theater pa- trons has even. been known in the history of theatricals during the past generation. The play is not only a ‘wholesome entertainment full of comedy, pathos, laughs and thrills, but it also tells such a strong moral lesson that it has invariably received the enthusiastic approval of the clergy in the cities in which it has been presented. The governors of elght states have epdorsed it and the mayors of practicdlly every city in which it hag been presented have pro- nounced it a great force for izood. tAnyone familiar with the theater does not need to be told of the suc- cess that “Experience” had in Hart- ford when it was presented here on the past two occasions. The first time, it broke all records for Hart- ford theatricals and packed the doors of Parsons theater to the limit and yeot menyv were unable to secure seats. NNING AND MARIE HORNE KK AT PARSONS’ IN THEATER. “EXPERIENCE” A return engagement was made and even then the people of Hartford filled the theater at cvery performance and many were left behind, with the re- sult that it is being brought back for another week's engagement because of the persistent demand for seats for the most wonderful play in Ameri:a. e LASKY PRODUCTION TOPS FILM PROGRAM With the charming Lasky star, Blanche Sweet, heading the cast the Keeney management will offer as the feature of the film program for the next three days a picturization . of “The Evil Eye.” Miss Sweet has many New Britain admirers and pho- toplays in which she is seen are big drawing cards. Tonight there will be a chapter in “The Mystery of the Double Cross,” and as an extra attrac- tion for Friday and Saturday the management will present an Arbuckle comedy. This week’s vaudeville show is giv- ing excellent satisfaction and the va- rious acts evoke considerable applause every day.
