Lillian Underwood lost no time in getting Katherine Sonnot, Mr. Cabi- neros and me away from the cafe to which she had taken us for the pur- pose of determining whether or not Grace Draper wgs in New York. We had not only seen Grace Draper there, but, to our great surprise, Harry Un- derwood also, whom we had supposed to be still in South America. His keen eyes had penetrated the disguises in which Lillian had clothed herself, Katherine and me, and he had not only warned us, but had managed so that our departure from the cafe was unnoticed by his beautiful and dan- gerous companion. A hurried word from Lillian on our way out had sent a man'for a taxi, and one was waiting for us as we passed through the door. Once inside it, Lillian gave a little relaxed sigh of relief, leaned back against the cush- lons and closed her eyes. My heart ached for the anguished humiliation I knew must be hers at the anom- alous position in which she had been placed. Harry Underwood, although he had deserted her in so caddish a manner, was still her husband. She had been forced not anly to witness his entrance into the cafe with the dangerously beautiful girl who had caused us both so much trouble, but had been compelled to accept from his hands the favor of aur exit un- noticed from the place. I was very sure, however, that these were only minor fears to the one great dread which possessed her, the dread that the man she so lately called husband was in the employ of his country’s enemies, and that she might be called upon to track him down. But I knew Lillian Underwaod. She would not falter in her/ duty, no mat- ter what it cost her, nor would she waste many minutes in idle regrets. We had scarcely traveled a block be- fore she opened her cyes and sat up with the air of energetic decision I knew so well. “Mr. Cabineros,” she said in Eng- lish, for with Katherine understand- ing Spanish it was useless for her to speak in that lankuage, even if she had’ wished to keep her direction a secret from us, but in a, voice so care- fully modulated the chauffeur could not overhear, ‘you will remember the faces of the man who came to our table tonight and of the woman who came into the cafe with him?" The words were more an assertion than a question, and the elderly Latin repied quietly “Perfectly, madam.” “Have you anything on hand for the next two weeks?” , “Nothing.” Evidently Mr. Cabineros could be as laconic as Lillian herself. “Good. Then I want you to keep free from anything else, until we have finished with this affair. You can get some trusted helper, for you will need help. But I do not wish you to lose sight of these two. I want a detailed report each day of their comings and goings and of their friends, especially the latter. I do not think.it will be hard to trail them both at the same time, for I imagine they will be al- ways together, and I'm sure you will find them both at the same address.” ‘What Lillian Directed. Did her voice falter ever so slightly ‘as she referred to the condition which must have been so galling to her? I imagined it did, but I might have been mistaken, and the next mo- ment her words came more crisply than ever. “You will be under no one's direc- tion but mine. I will arrange for that tomorrow morning. Sa as soon as wWo reach home have this taxi take vou back to the cafe. Don’t let Mr. Un- derwood catch sight of you, of course, but begin work tonight.” “I understand perfectly, madam,” the slow voice said. “At what time each day do you wish me to'report?" “At none, in person,” Lillian re plied. “Write me in full once a day when the other man is on watch and mail it to me from different sub-sta- tions. Choose a different kind of en- velope each time, and type the ad- dress with different typewriters. You know—the regular way.” “Yes, madam. I wil attend to everything,” Mr. Cabineros replied, and no one spoke again until the taxi had drawn up at a strect corner two blocks from Lillian’s doot. She paid the man, and, leaving Mr. Cabineros in the taxi, made her way with Kath- erine and me to the door of the em- ployment agency next to the house in which she had her own apartment. Behind the Door. She cast a wary glance at her own entrance as we went into the door of the employment agency which Kath- erine and I had learped earlier in the day masked a rendezvous for govern- ment secret Service agents. &I want to make sure Betty isn’t in the offing,” she explained as we climbed the stairs after she had spoken to the sour-visaged, suspicious woman who had’questioned our pres- ence when we had gone out with Lillian.

Then, with key in hand, she unlocked the door of the closet opening out of the roam, and, after we had passed in, locked it behind her, and with the aid of her tiny electric torch fumbled again at the piece of wainscoting which formed the secret opening to her own closet. Rut even as it slid noiselessly back I felt her start, and the next instant she had seized each of us with a grip which I knew meant absolute silence of movement or.vaice. From the room beyond us, Lillian's wonderful brown-toned library, there had come a quick rustle and a sound as of a softly closing door. RED CROSS BENEFIT AT FOX'S THEATER Two big features, an exciting se- rial and other features of extraor- dinary interest make up the unusually | entertaining program at Fox's tonight. “Cassidy,” With Dick Rosson, and “The Habit of Happiness,” with Doug- las Fairbanks, are the two big pic- tures, and they are big in every sensc of the word. “Cassidy” tells a unique 3 | | PANGIS X BUSHMAN and BEVERLY BAYN R S e NN Feature of Red Cross Benefit at Fox's Tomorrow Morning. stary of a4 young fellow who is down and out, but who fights to the finish. 1t is full of gripping situations, whole- some humor and tense moments. Dick Rosson; the young star of the production, does some great wark in the. picture and gives great promise of being heard from later in pretty big things. . Ol “Doug” Fairbanks surpasses all of his previous records in *The Habit of Happiness.” The part he plays, that of Sammy Wiggins, is in reality but a reflection of his own character and disposition, for Sammy is an enterprising young man who has discovered a sure-fire cure for the “blues,” and if anybody on earth can be said to have accomplished that miracle, it is Fairbanks himself—for a good hour of rapid-fire Fairbanks action is guaranteed to rout every little gloom in the neighborhood. And in “The Habit of Happiness” “Doug” sure does chase General Despair and his whole army right back to where thgy came from. 'An exciting chapter of “The Red Ace,” with several other superior films, completes the program. Tomorrow morning there will be a special benefit performance at 10:30 o'clock, the total proceeds of which will be donated to the American Red Cross society. An unusually good show has been arranged, the feature of which will be science,” in which that dashing star, Francis X. Bushman, will play the lead. The *‘Seven Pearls” will also be shown, as will another of those rip- roaring Fox Sunshine comedies, “The Milk-Fed Vamp.” Those who saw “Roaring Lions and Wedding Bells,” two weeks ago, immediately and un- edies to be the funniest things they had ever seen, and the fact that “The Milk-Fed Vamp' is a Sunshine is cer- tainly enough to guarantee a half- hour of undiluted merriment.

In fact, both pictures are of such quality that there | is a doubt as to which might be called the headliner. “Little Miss Optimist”’ is a stronger picture than might be imagined from the title.. It tells of a little newsgirl who béfriends the son of a rich man who, rather than live at his own home, goes into the/ world to seek ! fame and fortune as A musician. Maizie-Rosie, the newsgirl, gives him the most cherished of her belongings —a “lucky dime’—in order that hec might purchase food, and the experi- ences she goes through in setting him on his feet in order that he might get where he belongs in the musical world before love triumphs and the two are | | united to share the good things of the world, made attainable through the faithfulness of both, form a plot . that holds the interest throughout. | Incidentally, one of the best screen fights of its kind is shown, a mystery is solved, an accused man is provea innocent of a serious crime, and a pretty love story predominates.

GOOD VAUDEVILLE ON KEENEY'S STAGE To lovers of outdoor stories with plenty of action here is one that keeps vour attention from start to finis The storv being the Bluebird pr duction with the talented Ruth ( ford featured -in “The Savage.” A ~wonderful portrayal of life in the SIDE TALKS BY RUTH Do You Know I had occasion the other day to ask 2 new friend if he knew a certain man in the neighborhood in which T used to live. “Robert Knowlton,” he said, “oh ves, that fat jolly fellow.” (For the sake of any Bob Knowltons be it em- phatically understood that was not his name). Further conversation proved that we were really referring to the same man. Otherwise I should never have believed it. He Makes Hard Work of Living For His Family. For I happened to ‘know “Bob Knowlton” from the inside and I know, he is one of those grouchy in- dividuals who make living hard work for all who have the misfortune to belong to their families. I had never met him from the outside and so this estimate from an outsider startled me. Evidently that was the sort of man he was to his casual friends. The discovery started me to think- ing what a lot of men there are like that. Women? Well some, but not so many. At least not in my experi- ence. Somecthing Masculine About the Combination. There seems to be something rather masculine about .the combination of jollity and sopth speaking outside the home and bullying inside it. One of the most cantankerous men that ever lived, a man who keeps his family constantly stirred up over one thing or another is excessively ami- !able, suave and anxious to please with is rather outsiders. His wife who training camps in France. | outright with strangers, is the sweet- est, most accommodating, most self- less person in her home circle, that ever lived. Everywhere they go, it is the husband who gets the reputation of amiability. “I met your father” i people say to his daughter, “and he is such a delightful man.” % She Felt Sometimes As If She Must Fxpose Him. She told me once that it seemed as if she would explode sometimes. “I suppose I ought to be glad that he doesn’t show his bad disposition outside the family,” she said, ‘‘because I should be ashamed if he did. And vet there are times when I feel as if T must go about telling people that he .isn’t at all what he seems.” Such a Man? Incidentally this man adores his wife and daughter, in his way. One does not know a great many of these cases because one does not know the inner workings of more than a few families. If things could ba turned inside out I'll wager we'd have a lot of such surprises.
