As I sat staring at the mysterious newspaper clippings anonymously sent with the evident purpose of frightening me, and de- | cided they st have come from her. I shivered with the dread the thought of her always bringa me. | Mrs. Allis, the woman who had | driven Robert Savarin, the distin- | gulshed artist, into exile and mental | darkness for 15 years; the woman | { whose plot to steal the valuable paint- | ings the artist gave to his sister, Mrs. | i Cosgrove, I had thwarted while on an | | outing with Dicky at the Cosgrove ' farmhouse in the Catskill mountains; | the woman who had tried to shatter | my nerves by @ relentless tracking , of my movements and a mad attempt ! to disfigure me with acid—clippings | such as these acounts of a spy's exe- | cution and a hideous Black Hand i murder would be just the sort of thing | she would employ. Bu§ only a few weeks before, when | Katherine Sonnot, my brother-cous- i in's little flancee, had providentially ! saved me from hideous disfigurement lat her hands, Katherine's lralned; eyes—she was accounted one of the best nurses in the city—had discov- ered that the woman was a drug ad- dict. She had used the knowledge, ! together with the dread of punish- ment for the attempted crime, to! force Mrs, Allis to consent to enter a | private sanatorium for such unfortu- | nates where Katherine had the die~: posal of one of the rooms. Katherine | and I had taken her there ourselves. | If she had been dismissed or had es- caped, surely Katherine would have been notified and would have at once gotten 'into communication with me. The First Obstacle. ‘There was but one thing to be done. I must see Katherine at once. I didn’t mother-in-law and Cousin Agatha in the house, and the booth in the local drugstore was about as bad. I was certain that one of the local operators, a girl living not far from us, “listened in” systematically, and I could imag- ine the tidbit scandal she would have if I told my story over the tele- phone to Katherine. I Jooked at my watch. If I hurried I could catch the noon train. I had an unusually large hand bag, and a sud- den impulse made me put one of my ! crepe nightdresses, which I could fold necessary tollet articles into it. I did not foresee any emergency that would keep me in the city. But I might not be able to see Katherine until late, and I could easily telephone out home 1 was staylng with her, o no one would be alarmed. I went down stairs) with as casual an air as I could manage. I dreaded Cousin Agatha’s cat-like scrutiny, the inference I knew she would draw from:. upon my reecipt of two mysterious letters. “Is there anything you want in the WILSON’S NOVELTY SINGING ORCHESTRA - FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16 Holmes & Hoffman’s Hall Admission 35¢ GREATEST ORCHESTRA TOURING NEW ENGLAND, dare trust to tne telephone with my | my trip up town following so closely"| REVELATIONS OF A WIFE GARRISON city, mother?” I ask Mother Gra- ham, who sat toasting her feet be- fore the little coal grate in the din- ing room, the only fireplace we vet had been able to make draw in the house we had bought. “Why! Are you going in?” She looked so astonished and with a hint of disapproval. I have learned that anything unexpected annoys Mother Graham—TI think it does most old people. “Isn’t this something sud- den? Dicky didn't know you were going this morning, did he?” I wanted to smile at her early Victorian attitude, but I knew better than to let any hint of amusement ap- bear even in my eyes. If only 1 could get away without any comment from Cousin Agathat ‘“Yes, I think he does,” I returned with a half truth. “I told him the other day I thought I would g&o in either today or tomorrow. I want to look at spme draperies.” Mother Graham Decides. My mother-in-law drew her feet down from the fender and arose de- cisively. “Fortunately, I'm all dressed ex- <ept my coat and hat,” she said, “And I certainly want to see any draperies for this house before vou purchase them. Want to go along, Agatha?” She turned with a rather grudging manner to her cousin. “No, thank you.” The words came from the thin lips as if they had been snipped off with sharp shears. “I'm sure dear Margaret doesn't need or desire either your company or mine in her trip to the city, or our assist- ance in selecting draperies.” i The tone in which the words were couched was tipped with venom and plainly meant to be mysterious. I knew that she hoped my mother-in- law would rise to her balt and de- | mand her meaning; but elther the older woman was unusually obtuse or dldn’t desire to gratify the other | woman’s maliclousness. At any rate, , She paid no attention to her and j turned back to me. “We'll have time to eat something before we go,” she announced. ““Tell Katle to fix up something in a jifty.” “Won't you tell her, please ” T asked. ‘T have an erand to do before I catch the traln, and I must hurry.” “Going to the post office?” asked Cousin Agatha, and there was a ma- i liclous gleam through her half-closed lids, “Because if you are I can save you the trouble. I'm going down there myself right awa HART AT LYCEUM IN “NARROW TRAIL" 1 “Blg Bill” Hart In “The Narrow Trail,” his latest and most powerful, most virile tale of a big man doing big things comes to the Lyceum the- ater next Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday. Just the bare announcement that this man’'s man is to appear is greeted with a shout of joy, but in “The Narrow Trail,” O, boy! Wher- ever it has been shown, this great masterpiece was received as his best. He has his own company in support, so that the picture will not fail in any part. The story is of the kind that gets hold, and holds on. You cannot get away from it. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day of next week at the same theater will be that loveable little girl, that queen .of actresses, Marguerite Clark in another of her favorite pictures, “Bab’s Diary.” You will remember Bab as a girl that made you wish her previous picture had another reel. will be that lovable little girl, that work and gives a rendition of the part in that manner that caused critics to hand her the palm. 1 News For Theatergoers and Women Readers o~ ———— G “Hartford’s Most Helpful Store” Warm Garments FOR MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN - arments that bear the stamp of Quality and which are sold to you at reasonable prices and the privilege of paying “A Dollar a Week.” Simply say “Charge It—and remember that there are NO “EXTRAS"” of any descripttion, f Stunning Coats for Women All Prices From Suits, Dresses, Trimmed Hats, Furs, Waists, Skirts, Petticoats, Shoes. - $14.75 to $65. ‘much desire.

Hall to the greatest comedian in the theater world. Douglas Fairbanks. Fairbanks in “The Man From Painted Post” takes his audience by the arm and leads it with him | through the various wmazes of the | plot, here bringing a laugh, there | bringing out the 'kerchiefs, and all | with & sort of familtarity that makes one belleve he really lives the part | or must have had the experiences he deplcts, in real life. Yesterday afternoon and evening ' when he made his most recent ap- pearance in New Britain, he brought | something that he did not appear to have had in previous visits—he played drama. And yet his story is a com- | edy, and is acted as a comedy should ! be acted and in a manner that Fair- | banks knows how to act. | “The Man From Painted Post” re- | Ilates the story of a professional gun- man upon whose mind preys the re- membrance of the murder of his sister. His life is devoted to the search of “30-30 Smith,” the man who committed that murder. Finally {in Wyoming, where he is engaged in rounding up a gang of cattle thieves he accidentally falls onto the trail of Smith. | This big picture will be at the Ly- { ceum theater today and tomorrow and 'on the same program will be a Key- | | stone comedy, Lyceum Weekly, show- ' ! ing New England boys at Camp Dev- 1 éns, and many other good pictures. “ALADDIN” TODAY ON FOX’S SCREEN i | There will be { the “Fatal Ring,” a new Geo. This is the day that brings the | long-expected Kiddie picture, “Alad- din and His Wonderful Lamp,” to Fox's theater. It ha been antici- | pated with cager expectation by every | tot and most of the srown-ups in | town since the appearance of *“Jack and the Beanstalk,” several weeks | ago. The same wonderful children ! that appeared in the last picture will also be seen in “Aladdin.”” and if pos- sible, they are even hetter in thetr latest production than they were in {their first. Francis Carpenter, who played the part of Jack, will appear ias Aladdin, the son of Mustapha, the { tailor of Bagdad, and winsome littlo | Virginia Lee Corbin, who will be re- i membered as the princess, will be seen as Princess Dadral-Budur, the daughter of the Sultan. Al the old, ! familiar scenes and thrills of the orig- inal story are retained in the photo- play version. and there are a num- ber of new twists and turns that have been iIntroduced which. although they do not alter the story in any way, vet lend a fascination to the film which is a distinct improvement over its original form. The atmosphere of the old city of Bagdad is represented ad- mirably, and the desert scenes, with the camels, etc., are most novel and realistic. The story of “Aladdin’ one of the most familiar in child- hood’s literature, telling of the ad- ventures of the fair maiden who was being courted by the ugly ma but who repulses him in favor of the poor tailor's son, Aladdin.

REAL COMEDIAN AT KEENEY'S THEATER § When Bob Tenney, tar black humor ist, salls on the stage at Keeney' these days, there is a perfect uproar. Bob is no mean comecdian. in fact he is one of the best on the big time and he knows how te use the acces- sories to increase the fun. TFor in- stance, when he makes his first en- trance, he does not fall on the or make spasmodic appearan:- most comedians do. Fle literally ‘sails on.” He has a craft, “The Saucy Belle,” he ealls it. in which he ails his way to success. As a mu- sictan Mr. Tenney is no slouch. He is, however, a comedian first, last and all the time and he introduces such fun into his playing of the cornet, TFrench horn and trombone that one cannot forget for onc moment that he is above all a comedian. His solo on the latter instrument to panta- loon accompaniment is a scream and has the audience convulsed with laughter. His jokes are new and he is undoubtedly one of bill that presenting to bright and the features of the all Keeney's is this week capacity houses.
