Ordinarily, the ring of a door bell is not a disquieting thing, and to half the diners at Lillian’s table the peal that had sounded held no significance. But to Dicky, the Durkees, to Lillian, Robert Savarin and to me, it bore a message of terror. _ 1 suppose that into all our brains at once flashed the image of Mrs. Allis, the woman once calling herself Robert Savarin’s wife, who had malictously’ tried to frighten us, and because of whose alarming actions Lillian had guarded her home for the evening with private detectives. Had Mrs. Allis eluded the detec- tives? ‘Was it her hand upan the door bell? What would happen to the one who answered that imperious ring? All these questions rushed through my mind with lightning-like rapidity, and I saw by little Mrs. Durkee’s pale face. and the tense, startled glances of Dicky, Alfred Durkee and Robert Sa- varin, that'they, too, were thinking of the same terrifying possibilities. Lillian alone appeared perfectly un- moved, although I knew by the ‘tlny white line around her mouth that she was already mentally /dealing with the emergency. She flashed Dicky a mes- sage from her eyes, but even before he caught it he wastupon his feet. “I’ll go to the dpor, Betty,” he said quietly to the maid who had justbégun to serve the salad. “Thank you, MarseiDick,” Betty re- plied curtsying with real grace, in spite of her immense bulk. “Dat am bery kind ob yer.” A LettertArrives. Dicky was really gone only two or three minutes, but it seemed to me an eternity as I say quivering with terror, yet forcing myself to second Lillian’s e e SWAMP- £ 5%ior ot 1t vou have ROOT. kidney, liver or bladder trouble it may be found just the medicine you need.

It is different from other ‘remedies in that it does not upset the stomach or impair the heart, a condition here- tofore thought impossible. It is not a cure-all but a remedy to be taken internally treating Rheu- matism as a constitutional disease, by its general action through the blood. The treatment is a most complete combination of rheumatic-reducing elements and is dependable to pro- duce results from the fact it aims at rheumatism as a disease of the blood. 50c and $1.00 the bottle. 8eltzer Drug Co., druggists everywhere.

I didn’t want to trouble you, but it might be important.” “It 1, Lillian said, signing the form, “and you did just right in bring- ing it to me.” She smiled up at_him, but in the look there was anxlety and, I fancied, I saw her silently ask and Dicky glve as silent an assent to some question as she handed back the form book. When he brought in the letter, how- ever, Lillian glanced at it with appar- ent indifference, laid it by the side’of her plate and went on discussing her salad. ‘What Madge Noticed. But I was wildly excited, As Dicky handed the letter to her I thought I caught sight of a foreign stamp, and the conviction seized upon me that the letter was from my father in South America. All his letters to me were sent to Lillian for safety, and we had agreed that she should read them to me without giving me his address, so that I might be able truthfully to deny knowledge of my father to Mr. Drake, should that mysterious man who was in quest of my father seek me out again, It didn’t seem that I could wait un- til the dinner should be over to see what was written in the letter lying by Lillian’s plate. And then she looked up and from her eyes there came such a message of strength and reassurance that I felt myself grow calm again. T remember little of the rest of the spirits kept the gayety at concert pitch until the last course was over and the guests marshalled back into the liv-| ing room. v | My eyes followed Lillian everywhere and soon I saw her slip away from the rest into her rose-hung bedroom. In | a few minutes she reappeared at the | door of the room, and called gayly across the room to Mr. Lester with whom I happened to be conversing. “Frank, can you spare Mrs. Gra- ham for a moment? I need her.” “So do I,” Mr. Lester returned promptly and rebelliously, and in the laugh that followed I hurried into the room where Lillian stood, the cold little conviction at my heart that I was about to hear bad news of my father.

They're especially for weak or dis- ordered kidneys. you Here’s a New Britain case. Mrs. R. Hopkins, 20 Bigelow St., says: “I had sharp, shooting pains right across the small of my back. They bothered me mostly in the morning. ‘When I moved a certain way or bent over it felt just like a knife being driven into my back. Doan’s Kidney Pills soon gave me re- ltef and three boxes entirely cured me.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs, Bualo, N.

LYCEUM PRODUCES ANOTHER WINNER Tonight is your last chance to see one of the greatest photoplays that has ever been shown in this city Bry- ant Washburn in “The Man Who Was Afraid”. The S. R. O. sign was out last evening which shows that Bryant Washburn is one of New Britain’s most popular star and also the picture he appears in is very interesting. The picture is full of action and pep and also has many interesting scenes of the soldier boys on the Mexican bor- der. This story deals with a mother who does not want her boy to go to the front. He finally goes, overcomes being a mama’s-boy and makes him- self @ hero. There are many other in- teresting pictures on the same bill. Tomorrow and Saturday the Lyce- um presents Enid Bennet in “The Girl, Glory”, an irresistible comedy of quaint village life by C. Gardner Sul- livan. It is the story of a country girl who decides to put the village saloon out of business because her father im- bibes too freely of the wet goods. She does it in a way that makes you smile, chuckle, then laugh outright. Cotton gloves to wear in doing housework are cooler and better in every way than old kid gloves.

I think-I have quoted it before in support of the conten- tion that one can often do much-more than one thinks one can,—in short that one never can tell till one tries, what one can do. Today I want it to point the oppo- site moral-—namely that one never can tell till one tries what one can't do. He Would Stop and Rest. A woman I know had a painter working for her by the day. It seemed to her that he was unneces- sarily long in getting the work done. “My dear,” she sald, “he just sits there and brushes back and forth and back and forth over the same spot. If he'd leave the paint there once he got it on, it wouldn’'t take him half so,long. But he’ll put the paint on and then go back over it and brush part of it off. And then every half hour or so he stops and lights ‘his pipe and just sits there for two or three minutes. And I'm paying for all that time. I declare I'm all out of patience.” 4 As it happened, at that time I had never done any painting (like the woman herself) and consequently I sympathized with her. “I suppose he wants to make all the money he can” 1 said. a That was three months ago. “THE STOLEN TREATY” DRAWS TO FOX'S Band concerts, threatening skies. and all other obstacles put together couldn’t keep away the crowds that wanted to see that big Secret Serv- ice adventure film, ‘“The Stolen Treaty” at Fox’s last night. And, judging from the enthusiasm with which the picture went over, they certainly got their money's worth. For “The Stolen Treaty” is one of those picces of work that can he classed from the outset as a dis- tinct, unique, and original success. It gives a remarkably clear insight into the methods pursued by the United States Secret Service in ferreting out informating and obtaining seemingly impossible results. The story is worked around a most interesting and adventurous love romance, in which a Secret Service agent, played by the popular idol, Earle Williams, is com- pelled by force of circumstances, to make use of the activities of hfs fi- ancee, which part is taken by that new and immediately successful beauty Corinne Griffith. | There are just enough well-regulated thrills in the film to make it fascinating. Other attractions on the same program are an interesting adventure of Stin- garee, the gentleman outlaw, and his pal, Howie; a clever drama, a funny comedy in which some new hints to cooks are given, and the latest news of the world in the American Weekl. Tomorrow’s feature will be an/ un- usual and intensely dramatic problem picture, “The Beloved Adventuress,” in which the world-famous beauty and fashion-plate, Kitty Gordon, will appear. The “thrillingest” chapter yet of the whirlwind serial, “The Fatal Ring” will also be shown, to- gether with a number of other high class and superior productions. t Fads and Fashions Spangles are used on net.

Today if anyone complained to me because a painter brushed out his strokes or rested a few minutes to give his wrists new strength 1 would know what to say. I've been there myself. I know that painting, which looks like the simplest thing in the world has a knack to it like many other things we think if we only cared to try we could do as well (or better) than the men who have stud- ied their crafts. I know that one cannot slap on the paint and leave it without brushing out the strokes. I know that when one paints any large surface one's wrists quickly become astonishingly tired. How a Little Experience Would Help® If people who rage about the slow- ‘ness and the costliness of the carpen- ter and the plumber and the mason and all the other artisans who serve | us in one way or another, could have a week’s experience at each kind of wor®, how their sympathies would be dbroadered! Of course I do not mean that there is no such thing as soldiering or over charging. On the contrary! I only mean that the layman who criticizes and complains @bout the craftsman’s work never can really know what he is talking about till he tries. “THE SPY” COMING TO FOX'S SOON Why is it that the United States government is taking most exception- .2l care to guard closely every public utility, every bridge, and every fac- tory, today? Why are enemy aliens restricted to certain districts? And why has the government taken over the wireless throughout the land? It is because one man risked his life to inform the American government, and to awaken certain high officials to the menace from over-seas that had already become firmly rooted in American soil. And how all this came about is graphically told in the first big Far- num-Fox Standard production, *“The Spy,” which will be seen at Fox's theater at an early date. The story of the play wils written by George Bronson Howard, the well known traveller, writer and lecturer, who is one of the very few living Americans who really know conditions in Ber- lin today and the Teutonic attitude toward the United States. And Mr. Fox, in looking about for the best man in the acting profession to play the lead in this gigantic film, after much deliberation, selected Dustin Farnum, the unrivalled interpreter of dramatic roles, to bear the burden of carrying the all-important theme to success. “The Spy” will grip- New Britain as it has gripped all other cities in which it has been shown, and will be the talk of the town for NextWinter you'll say: “Im gladwe havethese fruit preserves - jams and jellies --- “They vary our menus and save the costof expensive - food ----- FRUIT - “Sweeten it with Domino’ Granulated, Tablet, Powdered, =tioners, Brown ) Soldin2 and 5 Ib. cartons end in 5, 10, 25 and 50 1b. cotton bags.
