But the sight of the en velope she handed me from the morn evidently written by the" same person who had sent me a. similar one the day before, dismayed ! me. I longed to get away to my room to examine it, but knew better than to do o too quickly. Causin Agatha's feline eyes were watching me close- ly behind their discreetly lowered lids, and I knew that her curiosity was quivering in its eagerness to find out what the mysterious envelopes con- tained. I was horribly afraid she would say something about the dlsrepumh!o looking letters to my mother-in-law | who fortunately for my peace of mind hadn’t been downstairs when the mail arrived either the day before or this morning. But I heard nothing from Mother Graham, about the let- ters, proving conclusively that Cousin Agatha had held her tongue, for my mother-in-law, it she had once dis- | covered the existence of the letters, would have given me no rest until I not only told her all about them, but had put forth all my efforts to find out the sender of them. What It Contained. The second letter—when I at last found an opportunity to examine it in the solitude of my own room— was almost a duplicate in appearance of the first. It had the same un- formed straggling handwriting, the address, “Mrs. Richard Graham, Chase avenue, Marvin, L. I,” was written in exactly the same form) and the envelope I was sure was from the same bundle, Before I opened it I took the first letter, the one I had started to destroy the day be- fore, and compared the two envelopes minutely. There was but one point of difference. The one I had first re- celved was postmarked Hoboken, while this bore the postmark of a station in Staten Island. And when at last I opened it the half-sheet of note paper, blank of any writing, | enclosing another newspaper clipping, met my eyes, as it had done in the first instance. This clipping had nothing ta do with spies the subject of the first. It was an account of a Black Hand murder in Chicago and gave in| ghastly detail the manner in which the body of victim had been mutilated. The headline had the same red ink line drawn under it, I had seen under the heading of the first, and around the whole clipping was drawn TOMORROW AND SATURDAY AT FOX’S THAT BIG ‘KIDDIE’ PICTURE ALADDIN AND HIS WONDERFUL LAMP AN EIGHT PART MASTER- PIRCE, WITH THE SAME EXTRAORDINARY CAST THAT APPEARED IN “JAOK AND THE BFEAN- STALK.” NOTICE THERE WILL BE SPECIAL CHILDREN’'S PERFORM- ANCES AT FOUR O’CLOCK TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND TEN SATURDAY MORNING AT WHICH CHILDREN UNDER FOUR- TEEN WILL BE AD- MITTED, PROVIDED THEY ARE PROPERLY ACCOM- PANIED.

For my first theory, that Alfred Durkee had sent me the first clip- ping as a test following a discussion of spies we once had, was utterly shattered. Alfred Durkee is a gentle- man in every sense of the word. He | would never have sent me this grue- me thing which almost chilled my | blood as I read it. But it not he, then who was send- | ing these incomprehensible things to me? That their purpose was 1o frighten me 1 could not help reason ing. My brain put itself to work to, recall the persons who bore me enough malice, petty or deadly, to do so cruel a thing. i There were but two in all the world, | decided, after a long mental sur- of my life—Mrs. Allis and Grace ! Draper. Cousin Agatha had enough petty malice in her soul to do it but she also had a very lively sense of the benefits she derived from mx mother-in-law, and I knew that her years af cxperience had taught hev how inevitable would be final dis- covery of such a trick were she fto play it. Besides, those letters had | been postmarked within two days, | and Cousin Agatha not been away from the village for over a week. No. she was decldedly out of it. Grace Draper was, as far as I knew, in South America, although on at least two distinct occasions I had had one of my premonitions that she was bringing me evil of some kind. But it seemed a most improbable thing that she could have returned | from so great a distanck in so short a time. : Tt must be Mrs.'Allis, T declded. And yet, how could she have found the chance to do such a thing shut up as I supposed her in a sanatorium for drug addicts? WILSON’S ORCHESTRA PLAYS HERE FRIDAY ac- my i vey New Britain is to be given an un- usual musical treat Friday evening when Wilson’s eight-piece singing and novelty orchestra, composed of the best singers and instrumental musi- cians now travelling New England, appears for the first time in the city, at Holmes & Hoffman's Hall. All the popular dance music and up-to-date instruments are included in the pop- ular orchestra’'s stock on hand, and something original is promised. Wil- son’s reputation has preceded them here, and the largest dance crowd of the season is expected to be present. It is too valuable for you to miss. A concert will be furnished from 3 to 8:30 o'clock and from then until midnight dancing will be enjoyed.

He just smiled and acted his way into the heart of every single one in yesterday's audiences, making them laugh when he desired it, and then turning about and forcing gasps in the tense moments abounding in the story, Douglas enacts the role of a pro- fessional gun man, assigned to duty in Wyoming where a man named Madden leads a gang of cattle thieves against the herds that abound in the far western state. His ability as a gun handler had led to his assumption of shooting as a regular profession, and his power was known country- wide. Masquerading as a prospec- tive ranch purchaser, he visits the section that is to be his working ter- ritory and “gets in" with the cow- boys. What he learns causes him to be certain that the man he is seek- ing is not Madden, but the notorious +30-30 Smith,” who had killed his sis- ter many years before. It would seem impossible that one picture could contain moments of such dramatic strength as does this picture, and yet include Douglas Fairbanks In ts cast of characters. Yet it does. There are some rich comedy situations of the sort that almost brought down the house vesterday. Fairbanks in that way all his own just gets every little bit possible out of a situation, so one may imragine what he is like with scores of such opportunities.

We have come to a point where, for a great number of women, the fashions have become the motive pow- er of life”—W. L. George. Of all the futile things that people require of themselves, of all the strait jackets they deliberately shut themselves up in, there is none to my mihd stranger than the strait jacket of style. Isn't it funny when vou stop to think of it, being in style means be- ing as nearly as possible like other people, doing things the way they do them, wearing what they wear, liking what they like, talking as they talk. Now there isn't one of us who wouldn’t be furious if the right of in- dividual action were taken away from him, and yet, we deliberately take it away from ourselves by falling into line and slavishly imitating all the gesturcs of those nhead of us in the It is perfectly astonishing the num- ber of things into which the question of styles enter.

Have you noticed how often authors use the words ‘‘savor,” ‘“intrigue,’” ‘“‘synchronize” in the last year or two? If you play bridge there is a style about that. Once there were Spades, then there were Royals and Spades, now there are only Spades. Also, as I was gently told when I offended the other night, “It ian’t the thing to complete the cut now, my dear. One Must Bo Married in Style. intersely personal as getting married might be done to suit oneself, but, no, if you have the right kind of a wedding every minutest detail from the precise moment the wedding in- vitations shall be sent out, is dictated by fashion. Even people who like to be original must perforce keep their originality within the container of these forms. As for styles In clothes—the sub- ject I really started to write upon— 1 am simply overwhelmed when I think of thelr multiplicity, of the fearful Tapidity with which they change, of the intensity with which every woman above the deadline of absolute poverty, fights to dress as nearly as possible like all the rest. Think of the Crimes Committed for Clothes. i 1 don't suppose there is the calendar which has a crime in not been One might think that anything so’ committed directly or indirectly for the sake of some woman being able to have this yeAr's instead of last year's styles. And yet last year's may become her much more, may make her more graceful and attractive. Really, when you stop to think of it, isn’t it as strange a mania as many of those to which we give technical names, and which are considered suf- ficient cause for giving people free lodging at the state's expense? “ALADDIN” COMING TO FOX'S THEATER Tomorrow’s the big da; For_ to- morrow is the day that brings that second big Fox “Kiddie” picture to the New Britain kiddies. Ever since the appearance of ‘“Jack and the Beanstalk” several weeks ago, the children for miles around seemed to develop but one ambition, and that was, to see the same wonderful little stars, Francis Carpenter and Virginia Lee Corbin, in their next picture, “Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp". The story of ‘“Aladdin” is too well known to require repetition and it'is only necessary to say that it has been produced on the same elaborate scale as was ‘“Jack,” and it has been re- ceived with the same clamorous wel- come, by voung and old, wherever it has been shown. There will be spe- clal children's performances of “Alad- din and His Wonderful Lamp"” at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and at ten 'clock Saturday morniung, at which children under fourteen years of age will be admitted provided they are properly accompanied. Swagger caps for young girls are very much like aviation caps. DOUBLE PROGRAM IS SHOWN AT FOX'S Enthusiastic applause, and hilarious laughter—those the sounds that emanated from Fox's crowded theater last night, while the higgest that ever witnessed a performance in that house watched that grent twin-featurce program. Two supreme pictures and two exciting serials—enough for a couple of shows. It would be hard to decide which of the features won more favor from the spectators, for who would say that June Caprice is more popular than Douglas Fairbanks., or vice ver , which is the title of 3 new success, is quite the most carming thing that she has vet appeared in. It d in a most unusual manner with the foreign spy system in this country, and in addition it has a love interest and plenty of stirring, red-blooded action.

Tt tells of the efforts made by a young scatter-brained ne'er-do- well to live up to his father's rather amusing idea of a good business man. In order to advertise himself and get himself before the public mind as much as possible, Doug performs some of the funniest and wildest feats imag- inable.
