Why did Dicky display so much solicitude about the burning of the waste papers he had brought down | from his room, and where in the world had he kept so many of them hidden? These wers the questions that my brain like so many tormenting beces after Dicky had finished burning the papers in the furnace, incidentally ruining tho fire and making the rooms a smudsgy tor- ment for some time afterward. He cquldn’t possibly have used up s0 much paper in writing or in drawing in the short time he had been upstairs, and yet I had not secn a scrap of paper about his room for some time. I was sure of this, for I had remarked the fact with wonder, knowing Dicky’s usually untidy hab- | its. He must have kept them hidden in his locked desk and chiffonier drawers, and only had disposed of the | accumulation this morning. But why such secrecy? I looked at | the matter from all sides, while a hun- dred idle, ridiculous surmises oc- curred to me. Finally I resolutely ! The they dropped to the floor, I could judge the fate of any breakable thing if I had chanced to have such in my hands. For a long moment I stood motion- less, my ecyes d on the words in Dicky’s handwriting. Then, leaving the tissue paper where it had fallen on the floor, I fled upstairs to my own room, clutching the piece of paper in my hand. “Now and Forever.” I closed and locked my door, and sat down breathless in a low chair. handwriting had turned my world upside down. Curiously enough I could think of nothing but the ex- pression upon the face of Edith Fair- fax, the art student from Virginia, when in the restaurant where we casually met I had seen her look at Dicky, all unconscious of the love for him her face betrayed. I tried to tell myself that I had no possible reason to connect these words in my hus- band’s handwriting with Edith Fair- fax, but I couldn’t rid myself of the obsession. A moment later I deliberately smoothed out the crumpled page and read its content I do not remem- dismissed the mattér from my mina, and went about the odds and ends of packing for our prospective re- moval to the house we had bought. How Madge Found It. I went through all the rooms, gathering up the more fragile of my vases and ornaments, intending to wrap them in tissue paper and to pack them carefully in baskets, so they could be carried to the new home when any of us made a trip there. I had a foolish feminine dread of trusting them to a packer. It was on one of my trips to the dining room, where I was packing the things, from my room upstairs that I noticed in a corner of the hall a large crumpled piece of paper. My first thought was that Katie had been careless in her cleaning of the hall the day before, and I picked up the piece of paper to carry it to the kitchen. It had been carelessly crum- pled, and from a corner of it some words in Dicky's handwriting stared up at me, “Now forever your own.” Fortunately I had nothing in my hands but some large sheets of tissue paper.

Although I knew that Dicky had never meant my eyes to see it, I yet reasoned that words such as I had seen in my husband’s handwrit- ing were sufficient excuse for my es- pionage. It seemed to be a fragment of a letter, queerly enough written twice. At the top of the pace the lines were written in a delicately feminine hand, and then the same words, with a few <hanges, were written at the bottom of the sheet in Dicky’s handwriting. “It is no use,” the fragment began. “I have tried and tried, wept my very soul out in the endeavor to forget you. But I cannot do it. You are as much a part of me, my darling, as the blood that flows from my heart. I have remembered the ties that bind vou, prayed that I might be given strength to go away from you. But I think God has forsaken me. Only the one longing remains in my heart—to be with you, to call you mine. ‘“‘Always, forever your own.” In Dicky’s copy he had changed “my darling” to “my sweet,” and in- stead of “the blood that flows from my heart,” he had written *“the beat- ing of my heart.” And the last words he had written “now and forever.” Menu ifor Tomorrow Breakfast Fruit Panned Tomatoes Egg Biscuits Coffee Lunch Egg Salad Apples and Cream Cocoa Dinner Veal Loaf Mashed Potatoes Succotash Cucumber Salad Cheese Straws Watermelon Coffee Egg Biscuits.

It will be exhibited at the Lyceum theater today only. William Desmond, the gay Irish- man of “Paddy O’Hara” and dashing American of “Paws of the Bear,” ap- pears as “Silver Jim” Farrel, an in- ternational crook who, after he has determined to go straight for his sis- ter's sake, is compelled to turn one more trick to save a pal. Then be- gins a series of adventures that should puzzle even the most adroit of ama- teur detectives. The story opens in beautiful home nzar New York, and the settings are most elaborate throughout. Many panoramic views of New York city are also shown including the Brooklyn bridge, Fifth avenue and the Bronx district, spread- ing way. to the north of Manhattan. Desmond as ‘“Silver Jim"” presents a characterization similar to that of the late Kyrle Bellew in his imper- “Silver Jim’s sonation of “Raffles.” Gloria Hope, a newcomer to Triangle, and Robert McKim are said to have excellent opportunities to display their abili- | ties. Others in the supporting cast include Roland Lee, Mildred Harris, George Beranger, Thomas Guise and Milton Ross. Walter Edwards di- rected the production. “THE CONQUEROR” FOX’S BEST PICTURE | “The Conqueror’” came, it was seen, and it has conquered the hearts and judgment of all who have seen it, and it has been seen by all that have been able to get into For's theater for the two days past. Hundreds have been turned away every night, so great have been the throngs who are anxious to avail themselves of the opportunity of seeing Big Bill Farnum | at his best. His work is nothing short of perfection itself, as, with rollicking humor, and deep steadfast- ness of purpose, he smilingly battles his way from uncouth backwoods boy | who could neither read nor write, to governor of the state of Tennessee. His characterization of one of most unsung. vet most interesting and romantic figures in American history, General Sam Houston, could not be improved upon. But not all of the credit goes to Farnum. There is a large measure for his supporting com- pany, from Jewel Carmen, the fickle southern beauty who would not see him because she was ‘“constrainedly unable”, down to fat Jim Marcus, who played the governor in *“The Honor System,” and who, 'n the present at- traction, gives occasion for much hearty laughter by his interpretation of the lazy negro, particularly in the scene wherein he mixes a high-ball {of witch-hazel and jodine. The de- tail of the piece is perfect, and the casting of characters the same, both Bear and his pugnacious frau, down to Sam Houston’s dog. The scenic effects, too, are admirable particu- larly worthy of mention being the border battle, the night-firing element of which is distinctively unusual. Re- markable, too, is the striking contrast presented between the peaceful in- terior of the convent, with the sis- ter's assembled at their evening re- past, and the wild disorder, of the hordes of retreating Mexican outlaws, who mark the convent for their prey.

A letter friend writes me that she is jealous of her husband’s decp af- fection for his mother and that she is greatly ashamed of herself. I don’t blame her a bit, do you? ‘Which do I mean? Both. I don’t blame her for being jealous and I don’t blame her for being ashamed. 1 think if the truth ere told there are comparatively few wives who aren’t jealous of their husband’s mothers, deep down in some hidden human nook of their hearts. Every Goods Wife Mothers Her Hus- band a Little, In the first place the that the mother knew him so before she did and knew a side of him that she can never know. In the love of every good wife for her husband there is some flavor how- ever slight of the motherly Ilove. She ‘loves the boy in the man, she is his second mother, and how should she help feeling some small jealousy of his first mother? And then almost every wife has a haunting feeling that if she could only have had the bringing up of her husband she could have improved : him in certain respects (minor of course). She would certainly taught him to be more orderly and more handy around the house more careful about his clothes. It is only when she becomes a real mother of growing boys of her own that she wife feels long | begins to have a haunting suspicio that she might not have found these small alterations as perfectly simple ; as she had once thought. But Don’t Show It. But while I admit that such jeal- have | and If a wife thinks her husband cares too much for his mother, let her remember, for her comfort, that he will be likely to be the father of sons who will have an equally great love for their mother, As a rule too, it is the higher kind of men who will not let their love for their wives wean them from their love for their mothers. The wife love is more of an animal in- stinct; the love of a grown child for a mother on which it no longer de-~ pends in any way, is the product of a higher civilization. The man in whom such a love is highly devel- oped is the man in whom the inhibi- tions of civilization will be present and who, other things being equal, will make the better mate. COOPER-FAIRBANKS ON SAME PROGRAM ’ Tomorrow brings n\ that big double feature show to Fo It is seldom that the opportunity presented of seeing two of fildom’s most popular ornaments on one program, particu- larly such stars as Miriam Cooper and Douglas Fairbanks, but these are the performers who will grace the | Fox screen tomorrow and Thursday. Miram Cooper comes in her latest Fox success, “Betrayed’,, a Mexican drama of thrills and surprise, which an directed by Raoul A. Walsh, whose work is too familiar to require description. The picture presents a wonderfully accurate reflection of ousy is common do not think I con- done its manifestations. For a woman to feel a little impul- sive jealousy of her husband’s for his mother, is one thing. It is quite another thing for her to per mit that jealousy to influence her in her attitude toward her mother-in- law, to make her try to keep the mother and son apart, to make her speak slightingly to him or other people of his mother, to make her look for flaws and find nothing right in what the older woman does. love ! life and conditions among the people {of Montezuma, and Miss Cooper, as i the fascinating senorita, achieves one of her most appealing characteriza- tions. Douglas Fairbanks, the uncrowned king of legitimate laughter, will be seen in one of his most hilarious anti- { sloom medicines, “Double Troubles,” a picture that has done more to make him popular than almost any of the other pieiames he has made. A num- ber of sel®&¥ shorter subjects will also be shown. The Gurran DryGoods Go. Season Sale WEDNESDAY IS CLEAN-UP DAY HERE THE GREATEST BAR- GAIN OF THE SEASON Women’s Wash Skirt, $3.00 value.
