It was providential for me that a ghort time after Lillian took me to the apartment which had been home to her for years her smalk daughter, Marian Morton, was re- stored to her. The child’s father died suddenly, after all, and to Lillian fell the task of caring for and comforting the old mother of the man who had done his best to spoil Lilllan’s life. She brought the aged and feeble sufferer to the apartment, established 'her in the bed- room which Lillian had always kept for herself, and engaged a nurse to care for her. When I recalled Lillian’s story, remembered that her first husband’'s mother, without a jot of evidence to go upon, had believed her son’s vile accusations against Idillan, my friend’s’ ° forgiveness seemed almost divine to me. I was afraid I never could have equalled it. ‘When I said as much to Lillian = she looked at me uncomprehending. “Why, Madge!” she said “There C ONCERT : :|wss nothing else to do.

She was a bewitch- |lng little creature of 9 years, but so Saapdradons from the tiny that she appeared more like a lchfld of 6.

On this particular afternoon I had been especially busy, and thus less: miserable than usual. 1 heard the postman's ring, and then | the voice of Marion: | :News For Tbatezgrs an' A Medicine ‘“Auntie Madge, it's a letter for | You this time” I began to tremble for some unac- countable reason. It was as though the shadow of the letter the child was bringing had already, begun to fall on me. As she ran to me and held out the letter I saw that it was postmarked San Francisco. But the handwriting was not Dicky’s. % 1 opened it, and from it fell - single sheet of notepaper inscribed. *‘She laughs best who laughs last. “Grace Draper.” The very words I had heard her utter in the horrible dream which had come ta me after my accident. The rest of the visions of that night had been fuifiiled. I had found my father, and Dicky had fled from me, for what reason I knew not. In the last dream glimpse I had caught of him, Grace Dreper's arm was around his neck, and they were going away together, while the words I had just read floated back to me in her mock- ing tanes, ’ I had awakened from the dream to Dicky’s loving clasp and words. But there was no awakening possible this- time. It was stark terrible reality. I looked at the thing until it seemed to me that the characters were alive and writhed upon the paper. I shudderingly put the paper away from me and leaned back in my chair and shut my eyes Then Markion’s little arms were around my neck, her warn:, molst kisses upon my check, her frightened voice in my ears: % “Oh, Auntie Madge,” she said, ‘What was in the naughty letter that hurt you so? Nasty old thing! I'm going to tear it up.” “No, no, Marfon!” 1 answered, “'I must let your mother see it first. Call her, dear, won't you, please?” ‘When Lillian came I mutely showed her the note. She studied it care- fully, frowning as she did_so. ! !"” .she cam- comented at last *“But I shouldn’t put too much dependence on _this, Madge. She may be with him, of course, But you ought to know that truth is a mere detail with Gracq ", 'She would just as soon have sent this to you,if she had not seen him for weeks, and knew no more of his address than you.” “But this is Francisco,” I sald faintly. Lilljan laughed>shortiy. '#My dear, me the hardesat blo dealt me. It was her chief delight to answer the postman’s ring and bring me the her to send this envelope enclosed to some friend in San Francisco who would mail it for her.” ' “I never thought of that,” I said, flushing “But, oh, Lillian, if he did not go away with her what possible explanation is there of his leaving like this?"" I know, dear,” she returned “It's a mystery, and one in the solv ing of which I seem perfectly help- less. I do wish some one would drop from the sky to aid us.” SINGING QUARTET HAS POPULAR ACT «y y little innocent!” she d,’ would \h the easiest thing in the world fer The musical hit of the season is the designation given to the act of 'the. 'Old Homestead quartet by the patrons of Keeney's, where the singers are ap- pearing this week. The quartet has to respond' with several enceres every night and even then the audience is loath to have them give way to other acts. Another popular number is the speclalty of Miss Mabel McKinley, a niece of the late President McKinley, who is singing character songs. Miss McKinley is a talented singer and an elocutionist of exceptional ability. She has a most pleasing personality and her songs go big. The feature of the film program for tonight will be Fannie Ward in *Betty to the Rescu During the last half of the week the photoplay bill will be topped by “A Gir] Like That,” with Owen Moore and Irene Fenwick head-| ing the cast.

Molly, the Little Stenographer Lady, had been to call on a new acquaint- ance who is reputed to have a very beautiful house. Yet Molly was not enthusiastic- “‘Yes, it was beautifully furnished,” she admitted, “but there was some- thing wrong with' it. It seemed to me as if it was all for show instead of for use.” ' That's a good phrase, isn’t it? It pricks the bubble of that empty unalluring perfection of some houses. I love to see things harmoniously .chosen, clean and in reasonably good order, but I hate to see comfort and Vhomelikeness and utility completely subordinated to appearance. Pincushions As Ornaments. For instance, it seems perfectly ab- surd to me to see an elaborate pin- cushion with not a pin in it, and in front of it, like the sacrifice before an altar, a pin tray holding the pins. I always feel a wild desire to plant séveral pins in the unmarred surface of the sacred pincushion. . Of course it’s all right to put your pins in a pin tray, but why have a pincushion. . A lawyer friend told me that while waiting in the library of a newly wealthy client he noticed on the book shelves a book he had long wanted td consult, and started to do so. To R GARDENER HERALD'S DAILY ADVICE FROM WASHINGTON ’FOR TH PLANTING H TOMATOES, The city gardener who has only a small space for cultivation must be an intensive farmer, and there is no crop with which intensive farming gives better results than with toma- toes, says today's bulletin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, which in .co-operation with this paper is promoting more home gardens to insure a sufficient food supply this year. ‘When tomatoes are grown commer= | cially in the country the ‘vines are usually -allowed to sprawl out along the ground, which they do to the ex- tent of several feet. Many of the fruits thus grown are lost by rotting. It this were the only method oF growing tomatoes they would not be & good crop for the home garden be- cause of the room they thus occupy. But by the use of - intensive rhethods the plants can be brought into such | small compase that they become one OME GARDENS. 7 of the heaviest food producers to the aquare foot of ground. , The vines must be trained to climb In hot houses, where every foot of space §s valuable, tomatoes are always trained on trellises. In the garden they can be tled to 5-foot poles, and in this way other crops can be plantea close to them. One way to do is to pinch off the side branches as they appear so that all of the plant’s vigor will go intu the main stalk which can be trained up a pole. Another way 1s not to prune the plant but to fence in each row with a fence about 1 foot high on both sides of the row and lay slats across this fence to support the vines. The pruned plants can be as close to- gether as 18 inches, the others about 3 feet. Transplanting strengthens tomato plants, and for that reason and also because the growing season for them i8 long, they are usually started from #bed in-pots or boxes dndoors and then aet out after the weather is warm. bhis utter astonishment he found that there were no books at all, only pasteboard backs. 5 Evidently They Were Only for Show. Another friend capped this story with a beétter. A wealthy customer of a book firm had ordered some costly and beautiful books which were to be put in a certain space in a bullt in bookcase. Unfortunately the arch- itect got the shelves too shallow and the customer forthwith ordered the books chopped off to fit! Of course, 'these are. exaggerated examples of the “for show and not for use” spirit but I think one finds it in less degree in many homes. I Don’t Like Affected Houses Or Af- fected People. Houses that are obviously gotten up with the idea of impressing visitors impress me the same way an affected person does. I like natural people and patural houses best,—pleasant, friendly, even a wee bit shabby, homes where the pincushions are meant to put pins in and the books are to read and chairs are hospitable and the lights are well placed, and the red tape of order and immaculateness is not per- mitted to interfere with the great tusiness of living and being happy. IS DOLPH VILLAIN IN “GREAT SECRET?” The latest chapter of “The Great Secret” the popular serial novel which i proving a' great drawing card at Fox’s will be shown tonight. In this chapter the finger of suspicion points mcre strongly to Dr. Dolph as the mysterious character who holds the keys to the solution of the story. In addition to the above, the World- Brady production “Man’s Woman," featuring Eehel Clayton, is on the program. This'is the oft repeated story of the spoiled wife, but in this case the wife rebelled and by o0 doing worked out her own happiness. The cast in this production is excep- tionally strong and is headed by Rock- liffe Fellows.- Miss Clayton’s imper- sonation of the wife is masterly. For acting is perfection. The story is a very pleasing one and is so ably pre- sented it is certain to prove a de- lighttul entertainment to all who see it. The balance of the program will present a two-act FoX fllm comedy. featuring Tom Mix, the “Cowboy com- edian,” and the ever popular Hearst- Pathe Weekly with interesting and timely news pictures of the day. the | Therefore $2.75 a gallon, you only $2.00 a gallon.
