The touch steadied, reassured me, and I taoks up the letter again, strengthened as much by her sympathy as I had been by the pledge my father had given me that there was nathing dis- honorable in the mysterious work in which he had been engaged so long. “There is but one thing you can do for me, my daughter,” the letter went on, “and that thing I must lay on your consclence as a sacred trust, No matter what happens to me, the work 1 am carrying on here must not stap. I may be able to extricate myself from the toils that nmow surround me. I have gotten out of many tight places before, but if I cannot and I see that things are hopeless, I will send you a cable with these words: ‘Sell coun- try place' immediately.” “You will then go ta the man whose name and address are on the sealed envelope I am enclosing with this, and give the envelope to him. The mes- sage Wwithin is in a code Which but four men in the country know so that it is no discourtesy to yau to seal it. Remember, this is only to be given to him if I cable you, or if you have rea- sonable proof of my death. Under any other circumstances forget that you have it. Indeed, it is my wish that Mrs. Underwood take it and place it in her own personal safety deposit vault. I cannot tell to what search any property of yours might be sub- Jected were it known that you are my daughter. “What Do You Mean.” “And now , my darling, I must write no more. I pray that my fears are exaggerated, that 1 may realize the dearest wish of my heart to spend the last days of my life near yau. But if it be my fate to lay my life down in this foreign country, remember that your unhappy father has repented bit- ter pain for the wrong he did vour mother and vou, and that his love for you is something that defies death it- self. “Think of me as tenderly and for- givingly as you can. “Your loving father, “ROBERT GORDON.” The tears came again at this cry from my father’s heart, but Lillian stopped them by saying rather abrupt- 1y: “You have no time for tears’ Madge. There's work for us to do. Let's have a look at the létter he in- closed.” The tiny package which had dropped into my lap as I opened the letter was wrapped in strang linen pa- per, and bore my own name ad ad- dress. Inside this wrapping was one of olled paper and inside that a tiny sealed envelope. But when I took up the envelope to see the address upon it my eyes met a perfectly blank space. dual attention.

Then she examined it from every angle, turning it over and over in her hands. “He can't have forgotten it,” she sald at last. “Men of affairs like your father don’t forget things of impor- tance like this. She sat silent for a minute. then sprang to her feet with an exclamation of impatience. What an absolute dolt I am,” she sald. “Invisible ink, of course. “Invisible ink?” I repeated dully, my slower brain refusing‘to grasp what her swifter one had seized. “Yes. You see, he didn't wish this to fall into the hands of any one else, so he wrote it in invisible ink, sa that if the letter to you were lost, the in- side letter would mean nothing to the person finding the outside one. He counted om our ingenuity to discover it. “On yours, you mean,” I said. “Dan’t talk nonsense,” she retorted. “But I'm just beginning to realize how clever your father is. One time when we happened to be alone the conver- sation turned on invisible ink. I real- ize now that he must himself have guided it to that subject. He said half playfully, half impressively: “‘If you'll promise never to reveal it to any one, I'll tell you how to make invisible the most dfffcult prepara- tion of all, one of which few people in the world know the secret.’ A Name That Amazed. “Of course I promised, and he told me the formula, repeating it, and making me repeat it, until it was se- curely fixed in my memory. He cau- tioned me not to, write it down, and said carelessly: “‘The knowledge might be to vou some day.’ “I see now that he deliberately did it with this contingency in view. I am proud to think he trusted my discre- tion so much. Fortunately I have the materials at hand—bought them not long ago.” She went to her dressing table and took a small package from it. Then shse took the letter and turned her back to me. “I'm going to fulfil the letter of my promise,” she said. I shan't let even You see me do this.” A moment later a little exclamation broke from her. She wheled and ex- tended the envelape toward me. “What do you know about that?" she demanded.

KITTY GORDEN IS FOX'S SPECIALTY Astounding in its unconventional- ity, and most convincing in its real- ism is “The Beloved Adventuress,’ the big new World production in which the famous American beauty of the photoplay world, Kitty Gors don, is making her bow to Fox audi- ences today. It is woven about a per- plexing problem, in which is involved the question: Has a woman who has trod the rosy way the right to make her younger and unsophisticated sis- ter keep to the straight and narrow path of virtue? Miss Gordon's work as the woman who has loved not wise- 1y, but too well, is unrivaled by any actress of the unspoken drama, and helps to classify the picture as some- thing distinctly different from any other picture that has been produced in a long time. Pearl White receives her customary ovation in the new and vitally excit- ing episode of “The Fatal Ring,” in which she manages to get herself into one of the worst scrapes of her ad- venturous career, and cleverly extri- cates herself, only to find herself look- ing into the barrel of the villian's re- volver again. Two original and very funny comedies, and the Pathe News complete the program. Tomorrow's feature will bring that unique little star, Viola Dana, in her latest Metro success, ‘“The Girl With- out a Soul.”” This is a picture with a brand new idea, and is guaranteed to keep an audience guessing from start to finish. Monday brings in that. big star combination, June Caprice, in a quaint tale of Holland, and Charlie Chaplin, the inimitable comedian, in one of his funniest two-reelers, “Shanghied.” ITCHING BURNING RASH NEARLY DROVE MISS PRATT WILD Healed by Cuticura in Less Than a Month With Two Boxes Ointment and Two Cakes Soap, Cost $1.50. twin- *‘I was taken first with a fine, humor on my hands and around my ankles. ‘The general appearance was of a red -~ rash,and there was such itch- ing and buming it nearly drove me wild.

A woman as lawless and free of love { as Merimee's Cavmen is the role play- ed by Dorothy Dalton in the new Tri- angle play “The Flame of the Yukon” written by Monte M. Katterjohn and produced under the supervision of Thomas T. Ince. “The Flame”, as the gamblers and miners call her, is the queen of the dance hall girls in a Yukon frontier town during the gold rush days. She is a woman without creed, conscience or moral standard, yet when she meets “The Stranger’, a young, rugged fel- low who comes to the northland to make his fortune, she feels a sudden attraction that draws her to him. In- stead of “trimming” him, as she has planned, she becomes his champion and determines to “go straight” in order to gain his respect. A splendid supporting caste head- ed by Kenneth Harlan, former leading man for Gertrude Hoffman in “Sumu- run” and last seen on the screen in “Cheerful. Givers” with Bessie Love, insures the effective interpretation of the many dramatic scenes. Melbourne MacDowell, husband of the late Fan- ny Davenport and distinguished for his stage work, is another member of the caste, and Margaret Thompson, Carl Ullman and May Palmer have import- ant roles. Chrles Miller was the di- rector. CHARTER OAK MIDWAY TO BE BEST EVER No state or country fair of modern days is complete without a Midway, and this feature is one that has al- ways been one of the big spectacles of the Connecticut Fair, which will be held at Charter Oak park, September 8 to 7 inclusive, with a grand opening on Labor day. The Grand Circuit race meet will be held, as usual, in connection with the fair, offering five days of racing. The Midway at the Connecticut Fair this year will require 29 railroad cars to transport it to Hartford, and it will be virtually a big circus coming to town and pitch- ing its serles of tents at historic Charter Oak park. The combination embraces all the novelties imaginable, some educational, many of a thrilling nature and others spectacular, with the comedy element not forgotten. On the Midway at the Connecticut Fair will be found an animal show with a collection of 60 denizens of the jungle and forest; a motordrome where motoreycle experts will race at terrific speed around a bowl-shaped enclosure; a plantation show where Southern darkies will sing and dance; an alligator farm with a big collec- tion of small and large alligators; a reproduction of Pike's peak, afford- ing a picturesque and adventurous trip for patrons; exhibitions by diving girls, an athlete show, a midget city, side shows galore, illusions, a half dozen different riding devices, and a fac-simile of a modern submarine. With the army of “barkers” and at- tendants, the Midway will bustle with excitement day and night, and it it sure to be a popular place with the thousands who will visit the fair dur- ing the five days.

There are some people in world who seem to think that what anyone is in the beginning he should continue to be all his life, and to hold any improvement up against him as ‘“putting on air: 1 am thinking especially of case of a young woman who by dint of hard work, keen observation and a determined will to rise, has lifted herself to a position where she com- mands the society of people of breed- ing and standing.

You would think her people would rejoice in the improvement. But no. The other day her sister was speaking to her. “It makes me laugh,” she said, “to see the way Annle puts on airs.

I can't bear to see people putting on airs that way. Why she was only a girl in a factory just a few years ago. BELGIANS TO GET SUPPLY OF WHEAT Dutch and Swedes to Carry Food Across Ocean Washington, Aug. —Belgians will get food quickly and neutrals will have some of their wants supplied through an arrangement entered into vesterday by the food commission and the governments of the neutral Euro- bean countries. It was decided to let 30 or more Dutch ships sail at once from an At- lantic port carrying grain owned by the Netherlands government on condi- tion that the greater part of the car- goes shall be used for the relief of the Belgians. It was also announced that the Swedish mission had sold, at cost, 552,000,000 bushels of wheat in this country to the Belgian relief. The wheat was bought by the Swedish gov- ernment last January and has been held in elevators ever since. This will go forward immediately in ships to be secured by the Belgian relief commis- sion and will take the cargo space of several large freighters. In return the Swedish government will be allowed to ship 270,000 bushels of rye of the new American crop which will be available in September or October. Negotiations between U. S. officials and representatives of the neutrals have been in progress for sev- eral weeks. The needs of all European neutrals have been laid before the food commission and complete statistics furnished regarding supply, consump- tion, exports, imports, manufacture and per capita requirements. Norway’s case has been presented by the mission headed by Dr. Nansen, and complete accord has been‘reached it 1s understood, regarding commodi- tles to go forward to that country im- mediately.
