OF A By ADELE GARRISON How the Real Reason for Drake’s Visit Was Disclosed to Madge, “His name is Robert Gordon. you happen to know him?” The apparently innocent little queés- tion from the lips of Mr( Drake, the stranger whom Dicky had brought home for dinner, could have oreated more penfc in my heart if it had beén a hand grenade which had ex- ploded at my table. For I felt’/instinctively and surely that his putting of the question had some sinistér purpose behind it, a purpose which in some way threat- ened the safety of my father, Charles Robert Gordon Spencer, who for some secret reason of his own had been known for years as simply Robert ‘Gordon. This, then, was the reason for Mr. Drake’s hidden watchfulness of me, the scrutiny which had so embar- rassed me. How much did he know? ‘Was he aware that Robert Gordon was my father, or did he share the opinion of our little world that the elderly ‘‘Quester” of Broadway was simply & dear ‘old friend of my mothers whom Wwe ' entertained Inr her sake?” Only Dicky and Lilllan and Hlm Underwood knew the truth. Harry ‘was with my father in South America, and Lilllan is a literal Sphinx in her ability to keep a secret. No, unless the stranger had some secret key to my father’s lorig buried past I de- Do | cided that he looked upon Dicky and me simply as friends of the man he ‘wished to track. “Prack!” The ugly word I had men— tally uttered increased ‘the terror I had felt at Mr. Drake's questian. It implied something erimingl. Was it possible that. the reason for my father's strange injunction t6 keep secret the, fact of his real name was | that he stood “outside the law?"” ‘Who Is e? I tried to pull myself together in order to present as unruffied an ap- pearance as possible to the critical gaze of our visitor. I was grateful to Dicky for answering the man's ques- tion at once, thys giving me a chance to recover my presence . of mind. Sometimes . Dicky’s inconsequential chatter irritates me, but as I listened to the clever description of Robert Gordon's little eccentricities which he was giving Mr. Drake I appreclated for the first time my husband’s ability to talk entertainingly upon anything and- nothing. “He 1s surely a rnnuntlc figure, isn’t he, Mrs. m ?' Mr, Drake’s voice broke in _ upon Dicky's/flow of reminiscence. ile was evidently dstermined. to - draw ‘me A n by any means A Htfl. flame of anger flared in me What right had this man to come spying into our home under pretence of being a guest? But even as I asked myself the question the word “spying” sent a little cold chill through me. If he were indeed “spying” as my heated imagination told me, then it must be for one of two reasons. Either he was an enemy of my father’s, satisfying a pe: grudge, | or he was what was even more to be dreaded, an impemnll afficer of the law. 1 am sure, howcver, that even the keen eyes of the man watching me could detect nothing of What I felt in my manner. I have always prided myself upon my power of.repressing my feelings before strangers, and of a certain quickness of thought I possess in emergencies. It is only where my relations with Dicky are concerned that I seem compelled to wear my heart upon my sleeve, much to my own disgust. In Dicky’s Absence, . “A romantic figure, indeed agreed, and I flatter myselt that my tone was exactly the correct one to use in speaking of a pleasint ac- quaintance. “Mr. Graham and I are quite fond of him. ‘He has wonder- tully qufi;ld.wvfld ways of speech and acti I have often told my husband that he ought to be dressed in velvet doublet and silken. hose and put into a picture..

It ‘was an effort for me Yo ulu my eyes to the Keen ones which I knew were watching me intéently, a greater effort not to draop them instantly be- fore thé amused mockery that lay in ‘the steely gray depths, half-veiled by 3 But I looked at him steadily, calmly, and was surprised to see the amused mocking look modi- fled by something which I could not avoid knowing was sympathy—yes— and a tinge of admiration. But when he answered ‘his tone was -cutting( rasor-like in its sharpness. “I should hardly idealise Mr. Gor- don so much as thai’ he said, and then quickly changed the subject by a delicately turned compliment upon the dessert Katie had served but a few moments before. He did not mention my father's name again until after we had finished our after-dinner coffee by the living room: fire, a custom to which Dicky.and I cling. , He had been so charming. a companion that I was almost lulled into believing I had imagined any sinister object in his visit to us. Dicky had gone upstairs to set & boak of quaint old prints he wished to' show the visitor, and no sooner Nad the door closed. behind him than My Drake leaned forward, and, fairly holding' my eyes with his said ‘slowly, meaningly: “Charles Robert Gordon Spencer! Can. you throw any light upon the gentleman’s reason for changing his nsm:—l(n. Margaret Spencer Gra- ham?” SIDE - TALKS What Some Some weeks ago\I wrote you about the women who in asking unreasor- able privileges trade on a shop's de- sire to keep thir custom. I mean the women who demand ad- justments on gowns that are fairly and squarely worn out; who have Persian rugs sent out on approval and return them after they have served their purpose of dressing up the house for a function; or do the same with cut glass punch bowls and even send them back unwashed. A letter friend called my attention to the fact that the wo scribed were all women of mefl a PORE GLOGEING PIMPLES AND BLAGKHEADS Easily Prevented by Ilsenfcuucura ‘These distressing dufigundou are prevented, In Women Do [ objected to my unplyinl\ that the lack of business hogor thus shown was a feminine trait. “Is the Upper Class Women” She Says. “The middle class women don't do that sort of thing,” she wrote, “They are the ones who pay the costs. Don’t add insult to injury by putting the blame on them instead of where' it belongs." I agree with my letter friend,—part way. The middle class woman doesn't order Persian rugs and cut glass punchibowls sent on approval for her functiors. Nor does she ask ad Justments on worn out gowns,—she Wouldn't get the adjustment anyway because her account wouldn't be worth that to the shop, and she knows it. But listen. “They’'re Afraid They’d Lose My Cus- ‘tom.” I heard a neighbor of mine call up the grocer on the telephone at quarter of six the other night. She wanted a head of lettuce, had just thought of it. The team had been put up, there we was some colloquey, then she came away from the phone triumphant, “Will they send it?"” sald someone. *“Oh, yes,” said ghe, ‘“‘they're afraia they’'d loss my custom if they didn’t.” The cost of that delivery woul probably have been rated st al m fifteen cents.

Not only has the location of the lohby changed, but the foyer of the the. ater has been greatly enlarged. At this writing a new <and pleasant lighting system is being installed yhich throws a soft light pleasing to the eye even while the pictures are shown, The screen on the stage is now et oft by a pergola, forming a neat and appropriate frame for a setting. The picture itself has not been forgotten. A costly generator now shows a pic- ture which for clearness, .light and size can be accepted as a model for any photo playhouse in the couniry. Another feature is the new cooling system which “cools.” The music hda received careful attention.

This feature is by . far the most costly ever shown in this clcy. Not only does it develop a pretty 7o- mance but it speaks the cause cf ‘America in the most emphatic. man- ner' conceivable.

BOYS IN BLUE GIVE HMPRESSIVE DRILLS A touch of military life is given to the vaudeville program at Keeney's this week by the Fifteen Boys in Blue, an aggregation of young men well trained in army drilling who are appearing In a new act. The yeung men render patriotic songs and while their musical voices are somewhat in | need of development they inject a spirit of patriotism into their tones and the audience warms up well to their repertoi: The drilling is the big feature of their act and it makes a most favorable impression. , The scenery used in the production adds much to its value. Two other speciaities on the bil! also give satisfaction. ‘Tonighit's photoplay program will be topped by “The Black Wolf,” a Frohman production with Lou Telle- ‘gen and other stars appearing in the leading roles. ‘“The Mystery of the Double Cross” will also be shown. Theodore Roberts will be seen in “The American Consul,” the film feat- ure for Thursday, Friday and Satur- day. / The second episode in ‘‘The Neglocted Wife,” is to be a part of the program for Friday and Saturday.
