I stepped quickly to the other side of the room, mindful of my promise to Katherine not to interfere with her management of the drug-maddened woman, who had tried to throw acid '(nto my face and then, after being overpowered by Katherine had threat- ened to send my father to his death by revealing knowledge she pretended to have. “Mrs. Graham has left me to deal with you,” Katherine told her firmly. “That's one blessing at any rate,” Mrs. Allis iInterjected. “The very sight of her makes me {Il.”" The venom in her voice told me how little I could hope from the woman’s forbearance if she really did possess knowledge dangerous to my father's safety, and made me glad that Katherine, not I was dealing with her. “And I've nothing to add to what I told you before,” Katherine went on. Mrs. Allis looked at her fixedly. Even from my position across the room I could see the deflance fade from Mrs. Allis’ eyes, and terror creep into them. “Oh-h-!" Bellevue! recognize me there. sure there!” Practically a Prisoner. Into Katherine's eyes there leaped | a light of understanding. Across her face swept a look of relief as if she suddenly saw her way out of the dif- ficulty. She bent over the moaning woman on the bed and took her hand with the tender sympathy which is so characteristic of her work as a nurse. “My poor woman,” she sald. “T don’t wish to be unduly severe with you, but I must see that you are put under restraint until you get the ef- fects of those drugs out of your sys- !tem. But fortunately I have an al- ternative to Bellevue I can offer you, if on your part you will agree to keep silent as to the things you know and imagine you know.” “Name it,” Mrs. cally. “A rich woman whom T once nursed,” returned Katherine, “and who has always chosen to believe ¥ saved her life, has the disposal of several rooms in one of the best pri- vate sanitariums for drink and drug addicts 1n the country. It isn't many miles from here. I can arrange for vour entrance and treatment there by telephone, and we can motor there in three or four hours. “Your treatment will cost you noth- ing, but I warn you that you will be practically a prisoner until I give the | word for you to be released. You must also tell those In charge of the sanitarium that you are entering the place willingly. You'd better think it over for a few minutes, but remember she moaned. “Not to Some one will be sure to They'll get me Allis said laconi- these are the only terms I'll make with you. Either this or arrest and detention in Bellevue or in jail.” You Hold All the Cards. She stepped away from the bed, but Mrs. Allls answered her-at once. “I know when I'm up against it as quick as anybody,” she said. “You OF A WIFE GARRISON hold all the cards, and I'll lay down my hand—for the present,” she added significantly. “Bring on your private sanitarium. I'd have tried one two vears ago it I'd had the_coin. This seems a pretty good chance to get for nothing what I've planned many a time to pay good money for."” “Let me advise you to keep your part of the bargain, and to forget what you think you know,” Katherine sald, “although it really doesn't mat- ter much what you say. They're used to all sorts of impossible ravings up there.” “I'll remember,” Mrs. Allis re- turned, and then she closed her eves as if to dismiss the subject. Katherine beckoned me out of the room, and we crossed the hall into the one where she had slept or had tried to sleep earlier in the night. “Now comes the problem of getting her out of the house in the quictest way possible,” she said practically. “Tell me, how much do you want your husband to know of this affair?” “I wish he didn't need to know anything,” 1 said, miserably. ‘‘You see, he hasn’t a suspicion that there may be something questionable about my father’s business, or even that my father is in any danger. Dicky has the best intentions in the world, but he is naturally impulsive and garrul- ous. I fear if he knew of Mrs. Allls’ attempt on me he would insist on tak- ing things in his own hands and probably upset all you have done.” Katherine frowned at the possibil- ity, then spoke quickly: “Tell him when he arises that I have a bad headathe—which is no falsehood”—she made a little grimace of pain—“and that you have put me in your room, which is quieter. Then there will be no chance of his acci- dentally entering your room. “And think out some plausible scheme for getting rid of Katie and Jim after the morning work is done, give them a half holiday, anything to get them out of the house. After Dicky goes you can bring up some breakfast, ostensibly for me. If you make it a fairly liberal provision for one, it will be enough for both of us, for she oughtn’t to eat much and I cannot with my head aching as it does. “Then leave the rest to me.” | Fads and Fashions | There is a lovely new material called buckskin cloth. Ostrich facings are very frequent in the new satin hats. Painted leather hats are one of the millinery novelties. Soft-toned materials are used in the chic tailored suits. Large black velvet hats are apt to be trimmed with jet. There are many draped among the autumn hats, crowns A few tailored frocks are made of Scotch plaid cheviot. In general, skirts are narrow and coats only moderately full. Velvet is the most frequently used material for winter milliner: “THE IRON RING” FOX ATTRACTION Supposing vou were a wife of two years and your hushand had alwavs confided evervthing to you and all at once he refused to tell you anything more about his business, on the ad- vice of his new partner. Suppose, in addition that he began to be called away frequently on long business trips, leaving you all alone. Wouldn’t you be apt to feel just a little bit neg- lected, under the circumstances? This is the state of affairs that Bess Hulette is up against in “The Iron Ring,” the new World picture which opened at Fox's theater this after- noon. Like all other situations, this one has two sides, in the development of which is shown In a graphic way | th etemptations that beset a voung married woman whose husband has put his foot on rung of the ladder of success. The picture, Which is in five parts is presented by a splendid tri- star cast, including Gerda Holmes, Arthur Ashley and Edward Langford. But ““The Tron Ring" is by no means the only good thing on the program, for daring Pearl White will also be seen in the cleventh chapter of that gripping serial, “The Fatal Ring," in which she comes mighty near losing— but let the picture 1f tell it. 1t would be a shame to spoil the sur- prise. And in addition there s Charlie Chaplin, the funniest man on earth, who returns by popular de- mand in one of greatest two-reel comedies. “Police!” To help matters along, there will be shown a new special Fox two-reel comedy, featur- ing the dare-devil cow-boy, Tom Mix, in a new rapid-fire MiX-up. The Pathe News will complete the show.

A fact which lends particular interest to the pic- ture just at this time is that it was directed by Raoul A. Walsh, the same genius that staged “The Honor Sys- | tem,” and two of the leading char- | acters played in the same picture, as | the governor of the state, and the dis- honest Senator Harrington. ‘The | Conqueror” has to do with the great | southwest, in the most interesting period of its developement, when General Sam Houston was in his prime, and ruled that section of the country with an iron hand, which, in- deed, was the only discipline that his subjects could be made to under- stand, as they were a heterogeneous crew, thade up of Indians, half-breeds, Mexicans, and outlaws from all over the world. Those who have seen both pictures declare unhesitatingly that in “The Conqueror” William Farnum's work surpasses that of his brother, Dustin, who was seen here last week in “The Spy,” although this is a hard statement to believe. Pro- duced at a cost of $300,000.00, six months were consumed in the mak- ing, and eight thousand people weve used in the picture. Ameong them were five hundred Sioux Indians, se- cured through the Department of the Interior from the Pine Ridge Agency, and for whose safe and sure return a bond of fifty thousand dollars had to be deposited With the government | agent. Among the other actors hundreds of real Aexican soldi Texas. Rangers, and United States Cavalrymen. Thousands of dollars worth of ammunition was used for the big battle scenes, and as a re- sult they are the most realistic and thrilling that have ever heen made. “THE FIGHTING TRAIL” NEW FOX SERIAL are “The Fighting Trall”” the Greater Vitagraph serial which will start at Fox's theater on Monday, is the most remarkable picture ever filmed. It is the first all outdoors picture serinl ever made and contains more thrills to the foot than anyvthing ever seen. It | is set in wild mountain and desert scenery and every thrill is pradced naturally, there being no trick walls, sinking ceilings or anything of the sort in it. In fact, there are very few in- terior scenes in the entire fifteen episodes, those that are shown being mere flashes. There Is at least ninet; five per cent. of ourdoor photograph something that never was heard of be- fore. How Mr. Duncan and Miss way, the leading players of Fighting Trail” survived many haz- ardous stunts they understook in making this picture is a wonder, be- cause that they must have taken their lives in their hands every time they went out to take a scene. There is action every minute in the picture, from the first episode to the last, and every person who sees it will enthusiastic about this big serial. Those who are not thrilled will be persans whose emotions do not respond to the startling things ot life. There is plenty of fine riding, fine chooting and superb acting in Hollo- “The i ‘““The Fighting Trail,"” and it will set a new mark in motion picture serials,” SAY “CHARG PAY WEEKLY Values Extraordinary in COATS.2nd SUITS and And you buy them on Very Easy Terms A Dollar a C HERE! opportunities cause we are sati assortments very large. n connection OMPARE our prices and our qualities with those you other stores—and yowll find that a dollar buys greater This becomes possible through our extensive buying fied with a reasonable profit.
