For Her Father’s Sake. Amother sentence from that con- versation came back to me with sick- ening clearness. ‘“When Harry is broke he drinks, and when he is drinking he's like wax in the hands of the man or woman nearest him.” That Lilllan wished me to meet Harry Underwood and to use the in- fluence for good she asserted I pos- sess over him I was certain from her wards and manner. That she wouldn’t ask this distasteful, almost impossible task of me unless the sternest neces- sity drove her to it I was also sure. But the necessity for thwarting Grace Draper’s influence over Harry Underwood was even more nearly mine than It was Lillian’s. T was sure that the anonymous clippings tor turing me with alleged knowledge of my father's death had come from the hand of the beautiful girl who had repeatedly tried to injure me because of her mad unreturned infatuation for Dicky. My father's life—if he were still alive—and his good name de- pended upon her schemes being made | of no value. Harry Underwood was the only person in her confidence. “Katherine, dear,” Lilllan's voice ‘broke in upon my wandering thoughts. ‘“Woud yvou mind woing down to Betty and engineering luncheon?

I faced my problem and made my decision while they held their brief colloquy. There was but one thing for e to do. My duty to my country and to my father forbade me even congidering my personal feelings. When Lillian had first broached the subject T had given her my hand in taken of my acceptance of any tas she wished to give me. T must not ppermit Lillian to thing that my dis- like and dread of Harry Underwood had made me recede from that posi- tion. As the door closed upon Katherine, Lilllan rose and came to my side. “Don’t think T am unappreciative Pimples On Face Cuticura Heals Large,Red and Hard. Very Sore andItched.

HE CRISIS” TODAY AT FOX’S THEATER Pne of the biggest pictures ever duced, “The Cris will be the re of the big holiday show at 's today. “The Crisis” was fa- 1s as a book long before it was into pictures and it won great o for its author, Winston Chiich- I, for it gave him the credit of hav- ing written America’s greater Amer- ican story. “The Crisis” is a twelve reel drama of the Civil war, and be- sides the patriotic and spectacular ele- ments, there is a powerful story of some of the big historical characters of the day. Among these is Abra- ham Lincoln, and so perfect is Sam Crane's interprefation of the charac {ter, that critics throughout the coun- !try have *acclalmed the picture ns “the drama with a human Lincoln.” The story opens before the election of Lincoln to the presidency, and presents a most graphic picture of political sentiment in those ante- bellum days. Stephen Brice, a vounsg | Boston lawyer, comes to St. Louis one of the centers of the slave trafiic. Passing down the main street short- Iy after his arrival, he camo upon & scene that was entirely new o him, and which struck horror to his pur itanical heart. I‘or there before him wag an auction block mpon which = beautiful quadroon girl was heing sold at auction, with her aged weep- ing mother beside her. Determined to save her from cternal separation from her mother, Brice spenc his last dollar in purchasing the girl, and when she is his, he immediately sets her free. His most spirited opponent | in the bidding was Clarence Colfax, the accepted lover of Virginia Car- | vel, whom Brice secretly adored. Vir- ginia herself had witnessed the scene, and became highly indignant with what she considered the Yankeo solence of young Brice. Shortly ter came the war, and our cha ters find themselves lined up on op- posite sides, Brice with the North, and Colfax for the South. Miss Gar- vel, true to her training, pitted her- self with the South, too. But, as we are finding out from present exper- ience, war i{s powerful in the art of | changing circumstances, and before {long we see Colfax about to bo exe- cuted as a spy. And Brice, out love for Virginia. takes himself ‘Washington, and demands a 1 interview with Abraham Lincoln for the purpose of s a pardon for his enemy. other incidental threads which | are woven in with battle scenes in- af- ac- master which were taken on the actual fields upon which the orig inal battles rred, nothin short of perfection. will be continuous special performance being rranged for after- i noon. | LYCEUM THEATER IS OPEN TODAY oc are There show tod a of “The five sis” this Cr o'clock Rumors and alleged ments to the contrary notwithst the Lyceum theater 1will this' afternoon and toni ready to cater to its p very best in the motion | Tue: , in compli of the state fuel ofticial with the | ture line ance with the wi administrator, the theater will not be open, but will have its regular show Wednesday.
