Something in Dr. Pettit's quiet apology for his involuntary criticism of Dicky startled me. The words, “But if you only knew,” rang out with such heartfelt emphasis that I wondered just what it was that Dr. | Pettit knew and I did not. ‘Without knowing why, I assoclated it with the remark he had made about my “divine, mistaken patience and forgiveness” when I had told him of | my mother's request to me to forgive my father. Was it possible that Dr. Pettit knew something. concerning my hus- band which was hidden from me? I knew that the two men had nothing in common save a speaking acquaint- ance, and that the physician could have no opportunity for intimate knowledge of Dicky’s doings. But he was a man and belonged, as did Dicky, to that realm so mys- terious to sheltered women—*the city.” <Could thers he some menace to my happiness In that realm of which I knew so little? As the vague doubts and fears con- cerning Dicky which had been troubl- ing me- for weeks rushed over me. His frequent detentions in the city till the last train, excused by ‘‘engage- ments with art editors,” his absorp- tion in some mysterious task in his room, my discovery long ago of the kodak picture of himself and Edith | Fairfax, the love letter I had found in { his handwriting and that of a woman | only the day before and of which he ihad rudely refused me any explana- { t.on—every little detail of the things |whlch had worried me etched itself | upon my consclousness in the instant following Dr. Pettit’s ejaculation. But I put them away from me |quickly, firmly, and resumed the | story of my father which I had been j telling the physiclan, as if there had { been no interruption. “Y Shall Try—" “‘And now I have reason to belleve j that my father is in very grave dan- | ger of being killed,” I finished after I had related experiences with Allen Drake, the man whom I believed to be the agent of this or of some other government on the track of my fa- ther. “Killed! claimed. I told him of Harry Underwood’s letter with its reference to my father’s ‘Why?” the physician ex- activities down there, of Lillian’s fear and of mine that Grace Draper might try to injure the elder man because of her hatred for me, and finally of my father's last letter to me with its forebodings of .trouble. “I'm keeping nothing back from you,” I said. “In fact, I am telling you things which I really have no right to tell you. I am violating my father's confidence, but if you are to watch over him, which is the boon I wished to ask you, you ought to know all the circumstances surrounding him.” “I shall try to prove worthy of your confidence,” he said, and no oath of allegiance could have been stronger than the simple words. Outstretched Hands. I had not spoken the entire truth, kept nothing back from him. The request in my father's letter to give Allen Drake an inclosure if the older man should disappear was not mine to reveal. Both Lillian and I felt that the message was one of tremendous importance which we couldn’t under- stand and we had tacitly agreed never to speak of it. It was nothing that the physician needed to know to pro- tect himself or my father from dan- ger, so I kept silent concerning it. And then there came to me anew the qualms I had felt about asking Dr. Pettit to do this service for me, in spite of the fact that he had begged he could. danger in this mission! “I am afraid,” I faltered, “that T you know. father's desperate need which Impels me to ask such a service of you.” Dr. Pettit stretched his hands across ed them in a tender protective grip. .I trembled as he did so, for his eyes were glowing, his face alight. “Little girl,”” he said, and hig volce was full of tenderness, of more than one thing on earth I desire to do is o serve you?” I didn’t know what to reply. I er an instant he relinquished them. For a long minute he leaned over the table steadily regarding me, then as if making up his mind to something momentous, he imprisoned my hands again, before I could snatch them | away.

Judging from the crowds who witnessed the initial showing yesterday at the Lyceum in “wild and ‘Wooly,” he surely has a large follow- ing in this city and those that saw him proclaimed it to be the best movie they have seen in some time. Thousands were turned away last evening and the 8. R. O. sign was out soon after the performance start- ed. Those who were turned away and were disappointed because they could not secure seats will have an- 3ther chance to see this feature to- | night or at the performances Satur- | day. On account of the length of the program there can be but one show- ing of the Fairbanks picture at each performance. Also showing in con- junction with “Wild and Wooly” is the wcaptivating little Triangle star, Bessie Love in ‘“The Sawdust Ring.” An interesting story of circus life un- der the big tops, also a new Keystone | comedy, ‘“She Needed a Doctor” which contains many hearty laughs. This is the kind of a show the town will talk about for many a day. Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast.

EVELYN THAW ON FOX'S SCREEN SUNDAY The subject of dramatfc criticlsm is an interesting one to theatrical man- ; ager, photoplay director and playgoer alike . The critic as a genetal proposi- tion is an unusually learned persan, | and there are thousands who would no more go to a photoplay until their favorite critic had endorsed it than they would willingly pluck out their right eve. It is no exaggeration to state that hundreds of phatoplays have | gone upon the rocks of defeat simply because the critics did not care for it, | and there may have been much of worth in it. To find the critics of ‘New York all in a universal mood is a rare thing, but that is what “Re- demption” found when it was pre- sented at the Cohan Theatre, New York. By every individual critic the play was hailed as a startling success.

Memories of the happiest times in a person’s life are braught back viv- 1dly at Fox's theatre these days with the production of one of the most col- losal attempts in modern screen drama, “Jack and the Beanstalk,” the talk of every city in which this mas- terpiece has been portrayed. Any thoughts that the picture is simply for the kiddies has been dispelled by the s. r- 0. audiences that have taxed the capacity of the playhouse since the apening performance, and it is notice- able that the elders, as well as the younger folk, remain in their seats until the awakening of the principals from that woniderful dream that car- ries them back to the magic land, with its wondrous scenes of excitement. Development of child actors and ac- houses for some tithe, but the work of little Jack Carpenter as “Jack” and Virginia Lee Carbin as the “Countess” far surpasses anything ever seen in the juvenile line.
