There are some women to whom ! any sudden terrible happening means either a fainting spell ar a fit of hysteria. There are others who, when confronted with an emergency, | no matter how awful, nerve them- it, reserving their tremors for 3 time when there’s no more need of their brain and spirit. Lillian Underwood is one of the| latter kind of women. Danger of any sort seems to make even more acute | her naturally quick perceptions—to electrify, as it were, her whole being. | Instead of being panic-stricken at the | discovery that someone had ran-| sacked the secret wall safe in her library, evidently in search of some- thing special, she appeared far more | composed than either Katherine Son- not or I, who had just returned with | her to her library through the secret passage from the adjoining house. Only the whiteness, rather the al- most ashen grayness of her face, be- trayed the mental strain under which she was laboring. Her voice was as composed as I had ever heard it, when, after she had turned from the wall safe, she said quietly: “I must look up the other places Her S(:(:n:tt carefully. Anything might happen to me at any time, and you ought to know how to find my papers. Amd I| iight as well tell you now that if that | cmergency should ever arise you are | to get everything from here and take it directly to » & The Seventh Square. She put her lips first to Katherine's | name mighty enought to make us | hoth start in astonishment and look at “ cach other with a new sense of the | importance of the work to which we | had committed ourselves. | Then there were revealed to our eves still more amazing things. Lillian went swiftly around the room, mak- ing doubly sure that every window was locked and shrouded in heavy curtains, and that the sound-defying velvet curtains over the doars were in place. Not until she had satisfied herself that there was no possible peep hole through which a watcher could see did she proceed to the work of searching the hiding places of the important papers of which she was the custodian. Aud such hiding places! Katherine and I held our respective breaths at the cunningly devised places Lillian revealed in her search. She ralled back her beautiful Per- sian rugs, revealing the polished in- laid mosaic of the flooring beneath. It was laid out in squares, and Lil- lian, beginning at one corner, step- ped diagonally across the Toom, from one square _to another, evidently counting each as she stepped. g When she had reached the 13th she took a direction at right angles to the one she had traversed, and proceeded for seven squares. At the seventh she stopped and signalled for us to come to her side. ““Watch carefully,” she whispered. At the Dcer. She knelt down beside the seventh square and rpressed hard with her hand upon it. As she did so it turned upon itself and slid back into some SEE WHAT’S AT FOX'S SUN. MON. TUES. THEDA BARA IN A STIRRING DRAMA OF THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION “ROSE OF BLOOD” the Russian Throne? !

But instead she trust her hand and arm into the aperture beneath the adjoining blocks which | the turning of the first had revealed, fumbled for a moment, and the next instant a small section of the flooring fully 10 feet from us, opened wide. | me following her, went to the opening, me ollowing her, went to the opening, and, with a tiny key which she took from her dress, unlocked the strong box within. She went rapidly through the papers in it, and looked up with a sigh of relief when she had finished. “Nothing disturbed here,” she whis- pered. “Now are yeu sure you re- member how to do this? Thirteen squares diagonally from that corner, then seven squares in this direction, press on the seventh square, and fum- ble in that opening until you find a tiny push-button, which you press. There’s no use showing you how to press those springs. I, myself, had to fumble around until I hit upon it. Ingenious, isn’t it?" anly answer. As for me, I could only Tepeat the word “Ingenious!” in an awe-stricken whisper. She disclosed other hiding places, two other wall safes similar in con- struction to the one behind the built- in bookcases and then she mounted a chair, and, pressing upon one of the tiles around the fireplace, disclased another cavity in which a strong box Tested. Lillian drew a long breath when she had finished her inspection and re- stored things to their usual order. ‘This she did with infinite care, pol- ishing the flooring and the tile so that no trace of fingerprints showed upon them. “It must have been Betty meddling in that safe to which she accidentally discovered the secret,” she said. “I'm so sorry, for'it means giving her up, but that's nothing now that we know everything else is—" A low knock at the door cut short her sentence. 4 il (Tl (17 |‘ “ £ il 7 1 .

It is a vital drama of adventure and in- trigue in Russia, and, with Miss Bara in the leading role, there can be no ! doubt that it is the best of the Russian | palitical dramas to be produced yet | Many other excellemt features will be shown on the same program. The feature of today's ocontinuous show will be *“The Voice of Conscience,” in | which those oo-stars of intermational fame—Francis X. Bushman and Bev- erly Bayne—are the stars. A fenny Sunshine comedy, entitled “The Milk- Fed Vamp”; Seven Pearls, Pathe News, Mutt and Jeff are also on the bill. WAR PICTURES ON KEENEY’'S SCREEN Today, for the last time Keeney's is showing °Under the Stars and Stripes in France.” The first pic- tures from ‘“over there” showing our boys in training for the trenches in France, also Ruth Clifford and Men- roe Salisbury in the Bluebird produc- tion, “The Savage.” of the Northwest, the acting of Mr. Salisbury who plays the part of the savage is the best that has been seen in photoplays in some time.

The Sunday night show, which has taken an im- portant place in the Lyceum bookings, gram, aided by several other pictures, best possible in the city. ‘“Masked Hearts,” a Mutual offer- ing, and “Madame Bo-Peep,” in which Sena Owen is featured, will head the list. News weeklies, comedies and amusing quality will complete the list. Miss Owen, star of ‘“Madame Bo- Peep’” is one of the best liked ac- tresses now appearing in motion pic- tures, and in this offering gives an ex- cellent rendition. i Next week will bring to the Lyceum two excellent attractions. The second appearance of Julan Eltinge, the world’s most famous female imper- sonator, since being in motion pic- tures, will be at the theater Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in ‘“Clever Mrs. Carfax.” Eltinge, after startling America and Europe while on the stage accepted a very flattering call to enter pictures, and on his first appear-, ance, was booked exclusively for New Britain at the Lyceum. His vehicle at that time was “Princess Charming” and he made so decided a hit that he will remain permanently as a picture star. On Thursday the Treble Clef club will have the theater for a concert and on Friday and Saturday the Ly- ceum will again show a great picture, with Jack Pickford and Louise Huff in “The Varmint”. Every lover of boys when they are in the prime of their youth, at 18, will want to see Jack, while Miss Huff's friends who never fail to watch her work, will welcome with open arms the opportunity to again see her perform with her side- partner. Owen Johnson wrote ‘“The Varmint” as one of & serles of stor- ies, and he should be proud of the wonderful results. So it is seen that the week will be a big one with the Lyceum. The news weekly, and come- dies and other pictures will be shown on every program. There is some velvet on almost every Paris gown.

Price, ' SIDE TALKS Adopting a Christmas Family The Authorman objects to one of my statements about Christmas,— that you can get just as much of the Christmag spirit by giving to people who are in need as by exchanging gifts with those you love. “I suppose it's right,” “but don't tell me I'll get any Christmas spirit out of it. Just sii- ting down and signing my name to a few checks,—where's the Christ- mas . in that? - I may feel a little #low of righteousness at the time and 1 suppose I'll respect myself for 't, but there’s no real Christmas fun in e he says, People Feel the Coldness of Signing Checks. Because it opened up to me the state of mind of a great many peo- ple who are trying to do the square thing about Christmas and yet who feel this coldness, this lack of Christ- may spirit in sitting down and writ- ing a few' checks. Why do it that way? J.et me tell you what going to do. A Family With Plenty of Children. We are golng to adopt a family and play Santa Claus to them. On> of the charitable agencies has looked one up for us. It is to be, of course, a family with as many children as possible because Christmas belongs to Children and children to Christmas. We are going to get the children to write letters to Santa Claus and we are going to try to answer them iny him. We expect to find as much fun in fulfilllng those wishes as in trying t0 buy something that will look as if it cost more than it actually does, or something to tickle the lethargic fancy of a recipient who doesn’t know what to do with all the truck he already owns. I know a school marm who does something of this sort every year. She and some of her scholars adopt we are | that we can't give offensively. a poor family from a neighboring town (emphatically not one whose ; members go to the same school). Then the scholars collect clothing, toys, money, etc., and the day be- fore Christmas borrow a machine from their parents and play Santa Claus, Lord, Keep Us From Getting Smug. Of course there is the inevitable danger in all this,—the danger of being smug and patronizing. Too often, alas, charity does cover a multitude of sins. 2 It is more blessed to give than to receive and much pleasanter for the pride. But that very thought ought to make up so humble that we just can’t be smug. Here we have not only the material good things of the world but the joy of living. We ought to be so grateful, so biessed For | surely, if we do, the Providence that hag given us all this will become im- patient with us and take away what we don't know how to deserve.
