OTHERS, i COMING FRI OLIVE IN “MADCAP MADGE.” and Sat. THOMAS IREVELATIONS OF A WIFE By ADELE GARRISON Why Madge Tried to Keep Katherinc The impassioned declaration of love From Worrying. “So Jack had some reason for his Jealousy, after all.” 1 regretted the tactless little specch as soon as I had made it. How I ever permitted it to pass my lips I don'd know. Katherine flamed in an instant. “That is most unjust, and unlike you, Margaret,” she said heatedly. “Jack never knew anything of the matter at all. It was'something that only Mrs. Braithwaite and I knew. Even Dr. Braithwaite himself, I am convinced, didn’t yealize what he was doing. Jack’s jeealousy is based only on his own imaginings, and his re- sentment of the fact that the work 6f the hospital unit, which I am doing for Dr. Braithwaite here takes so much of my time.’ “Forgive me,” I pleaded sincergly, “and believe that I had no thought of blame for you in my speech. It simply occurred to me that it Jack had noticed Dr. Braithwaite’'s unusual in- terest in you he would be very unlike other men if he weren’t jealous.” Katherine put her hand over miné in a loving little clasp. “Don’t mind me,” said she, tremu- lously. “I'm getting to be a regular vinegar cruet with all this worry. The work I have an hand is heaty enough for two women, although I'm glad and proud to be entrusted with {t. Ana then Jack is behaving like a regular bear. If he would get smashingly angry now and then and be sunny in the meantime I would’t mind so much. But his face is like a tombstone all the time, and he has most martyr-tied- to-the-stake-air, “Do you know, -Madge, rTeally if I thought that was his real tempera- ment,, and that he wauld be apt to keep this sort of thing up all our lives, I don’t believe I'd dare to marry him, much as I love him. Tell me, you have known Jack from childhood, is this sort of thing his natural disposi- tion?" “Why, No!” “Why, No!” I stammered, anxious to put my brother-cousin in the best light possible, and Yet to tell the truth ooncerning him. ““Hi very intense, and has a most rigid, almost Puritani- cal sense of right and wrong, but I've never noticed any jealousy in his natur I could hardly judge of that, though,” I added, “for he wasn't in love with me. We were brought up together like brother and sister, you know.” I am afrald the words were not con- incingly uttered, for even as they left my lips my memory flashed back from a year's work in the wilds of Bouth America, ndét knowing that I had been married during his absence. long suppressed which he had poured into my ears at that memorable dinner we had tagether, and the agony I had seen on his face when I told him I was married were not things to be for- gotten. Yet I had no qualms of conscience in telling Katherine t#ht Jack hadn't been in love with me, for it was my sincere belief he had decelved him- self as to his affection for me, that be- cause of our long association and the fact that he had never knawn any other girls intimately, he had imagined ‘his heart to be broken when he found me married. That his meeting with Katherine had taught Jack his mistake quickly I had abundant evidence. But my eves fell before the knowledge in her eves as she looked at me. “Isn't T{ere Something—" “It's good of you to try to make me belleve that,” she said, and I fancied there was just a tinge of irony in her voice, “but you see part af Jack’s creed is that people who are engaged should have no secrets from each other, 80 he has told me all about his suffering when he returned and found you married. “Jack’s overtrained conscience will be the death of him some day,” I re- turned shortly, for I was really very angry at my cousin for making so un- tactful a revelation to his flancee. “And I can assure you that he de- ceived himself as to his feeling, For instance, he was never jealous of me. It wouldn't have worried him' if 20 principals had entrusted me with their most important work. “And now I am going to send you to bed,” I finished, rising and slipping my arm around her. “You need a good sleep more than anything else, and I'll warrant you’ll wake up think- ing better of Jack. He needs a good old-fashioned scolding more than any- thing else, I imagine ,and T Dbelieve that I shall administer it the next time Iysee him.” "'You are so.good to me, Madge,” she said, gratefully. “I am tired, but I don’t know whether I shall be able to sleep or not. Tell me first, dear, isn't there something troubling you, too? Your face looked strained tonight.” At her question there rushed over me the full realization of my own worrles, my anxiety over the terrible predicament of my father, my terror of Mrs. Allis, who for all I knew, might even now be lurking somewhere in the shadows outside. But there was no help which Katherine could give me. “Nonsense!"” I returned with as fine a nair of nonchalance as I could man- age. “I've no worries that a good night's sleep won't cure.” SIDE TALKS BY RUTH A day or two ago A group of us were out walking and passed a gar- den in which there was a lovely yel- low rosebush. “Aren’t those roses wonderful?"”’ said one of the group. *“How I wish I could get a slip for my rose garden. I've always wanted a yellow rose.” “Why don’t you go in and ask the woman if she will sell you a slip in the fall?”” asked someone else. Faint Heart Noever Won a Rose Bush. “Oh, I don't believe I will,” =aid the first woman doubtfully, “She might not want to.” “Well, she couldn’t any moré than say so, could she?” Vo, but I don’'t know who she Is and 1 shouldn’t like to ask,” and she turned regretfully away from the rose garden. Once or twice on the way home she said again that she would have loved to have one of those yellow rose bushes. And doubtless she could have had one just as well as not if she had had the courage to ask for it. ‘What Lots of Things We Might Have for the Asking. I thing many of us miss much we might have because we haven't the courage to ask. My own past 1s strewn with “it might have beens.” Just the other day I learned of a most painful one. Five years ago I fell in love with a dear little empty bungalow with an fmmense open fireplace. It stood all alone at the foot of a high cliff look- straight out to sea. None of the natives knew to whom it belonged, some man from the city, they said, hadn’t been down for years, didn’t seem to caremuch for it, probably there was something the matter with it. My instinct was to pursue the mat- CAMERON The Gumption to Ask ter further, ‘find out who owned that bungalow, and if it could be bought at a seasonable price, but my own inertia plus the advice of even more inert friends dissuaded me, and i let the matter drop. And They Tore Out That Fireplace! A few weeks ago, by an odd coin- cidence, I met the man who had owned that bungalow, and he told me that he had been ready to sell at the time, and that it ultimately went for a small price because of the lone- some location I so much admired. Worst of all, the people who bought it had ripped out that magnificent fireplace. And to think I might have had it all if 1 had only had the gumption to ask for it! Of course there are things that it would be cheeky to ask for. I do not counsel anyone to be rude or in- trusive. But when you want a thing very much why not try to see if there 1sn’t some way to get it without treading on anyone'’s toes? TRIESTE RESIDENTS STARVING. Deaths From Lack of Nutrition Re- ported in Austrian City. Rome, Sept. 5.—Letters found on Austrian prisoners depict a shocking state of affairs in Austria, particu- larly at Trieste, where it is said to be impossible to purchase at any price oils, rice, potatoes, sugar or coffee. Money, says one letter, is of scarce- ly any use in Trieste, because of the enormous shortage of food and cloth- ing. There is little meat on hand. The people of Trieste are dying from lack of nutrition. “THE RANGE BOSS” AT THE LYCEUM s Today and tomorrow Jack Gardner noted musical comedy star in Es- sanay feature of gripping romance on Arizona plains. The east can ride as well. as the west. The fact, not gen- erally known, is ably demonstrated by Jack Garnder in his Essanay western picture, “The Range Boss”. Reports from the California studio have it that the professional cowboys present were shaken with suppressed laughter when Director W. . Van Dyke in- formed Mr. Gardner his role in “The Range Boss” wWas to be that of a cow boy. Now a cowboy, naturally, mu: be a hard rider. That is what tickled the professionals. They figured that Gardner, who formerly was a Broad- way musical comedy star, and had never lived west of New- Rochelle, did not know the saddle from the bridle, and would be tossed about ten feet in the air the first time he attempted to stride a horse. ‘“Now we'll see some l fun,” the cowboys whispered up their sleeves, and they picked out the most | vicious pinto pony in the corral for the “tenderfoot”. Jack, attired in the latest thing in cowboy togs, came strolling out, nonchalantly tossed his clgarette to one side and leaped upon the little horse without a word. Mo- mentarily the horse stood still, hrac- ing itself it lunged forward, head down and rear hoofs flying into the air. The entire company, which had gathered, prepared to see the star flying through air over the animal's head. But, lo and behold, Jack sat his seat like & regular trooper. In fact he laughed aloud and struck his spurs into the little beasts sides for an “encore”. There followed a’séries of buckings and plungings by the horse which would have made an ex- tremely difficult seat for one of the professional cowboys ever to have maintained, but Jack stuck it out with little “bronc busted flatter than a pancake”. The laugh was turned for Jack had been “tipped off” to what was planned for him beforehand. “The Range Boss”, which was filled on the picturesque plains of Arizona, is replete with dare-devil riding feats and plenty of rapid-fire’ action, tvpi- cal of red-blooded western photo- dramas.. It has been admirably en- cted and photographed. Ruth King appears as Mr. Gardner's leading wo- man. Carl Stockdale heads an excel- lently well-balanced supporting cst. Friday and Saturday Olive Thomas is starred in “Madcap Madge”. This is Miss Thomas’ first appearance here on the screen, she being a former star of the “Ziegfield Follies.” “MORAL COURAGE" ON FOX SCREEN TODAY One of the most unusual pictures that have come out of the World studios in many moons is “Moral Courage,” the five-part feature of the Fox program for today and to- morrow. Muriel Ostrich, the dainty World star, is given one of her first opportunities in this film to show what she can really do, and her work is a complete surprise to those who have seen her in pictures that gave her but little chance to give free play to those splendid talents with which she is endowed. Within six manths her name will be as well known and popular among picture followers as Mary Pickford’s or Anita Stewart's and ‘Moral Courage” is the first shot in her big battle for fame. Support- ing her is Arthur Ashley. The story deals In a fascinating way with love, adventure, and duty, and the conflict between the three is most unique, leading up to one of those totally dif- ferent climaxes that will sweep an audience from its fee Another extremely interesting and excltiing adventure of the popular outlaw of the Australian wilds, Stin- garee, Wwill be shown also, together with many other interesting features, including the-latest issue of the up- to-date American News Weekly. The Fox orchestra, better than ever, is back again for the winter season, and has gathered a complete repertoire of the latest popular numbers and musi- cal comedy hits, as well as & good se- lection of light opera numbers.

The aver- age” outsider knows nothing of the brutal treatment that is accorded in many of our state institutions to the unfortunate criminals that are incar- cerated therein. It was inspired by the recent activities of Thomas Mott Osborne, who, disguised as a crimi- nal, entered Sing Sing, and lived the life of one of the inmates, subjecting himself ta the same abuse that they experienced. The record of what he suw and felt there has startled cer- tain circles, and should be made known broadcast to the country.
