An acquaintance of mine has recent- ly taken her two children and gone to a winter resort for a month. This is a luxury in which she has never be- | fore indulged. Her reason for it “:w[ that she was all worn out with Red Cross work. Her husband, who resents being left to a lonesome month at the mercy of | two not over faithful servants, say that he would have preferred to give { the money to the Red Cross in the first place and that he thinks it would have done quite as much good. One cannot help sympathizing somewhat with him. Don’t Be Afraid of Giving Too Much. This is not the only case of Red Crossitis which has come to my at- tention. I know of another break down caused by too much Red Cross work.

A mighty Zeppelin plunging to earth from aloft, flaming and smoking like a giant meteor, forms a tremen- dous climax in the latest Thomas H. Ince spectacle, “The Zeppelin's Last Raid,” now showing at Keeney's all this week, almost fled, as through a crevice of the breakfast room door I watched him inspect the catch of the pantry | window and look carefully over the dining room, the while believing that Katie and I were both absent from the kitchen. The man was but a common burg- lar, I told myself scornfully, as his inspection of the dining room com- pleted he returned with the cat-like trcad he had used in entering the | pantry to his waiting attitude beside the kitchen door. He was probably making a tour of the villa pretend- | ing to sell the crude notions he car- ried in order to gain entrance to as many houses as possible with a view to robbing them later on. It was plainly my duty to detain him on some pretext, and to send for the lo- cal police at once. And yet, the same psychic impulse which had driven me down the stairs in Katie’'s wake to see this itinerant peddler, when ordinarily I would have sent him some money by the girl and dismissed him, held me. I resolved to wait for Katie's return to the kitchen before I entered again with the money for the penci and small metal pencil cases I had bought. 1 wanted also to be sure that Wil- liam Trumbull had time to come | from the barn with the armful of | kindling I had sumoned him to bring in order that I might prove false or true the suspicion I had concerning the pseudo Italian waiting heside lho" door. “Villum, He As] I had not long to wait before I heard the tattoo of Katie’s hurried footsteps entering the kitchen. i | [ i | | Menu for Tomorrow Brealfast Fruit Apple ele Scones Coffee Tanch French Fried Potatoes Cold Slaw Small Date C: Cocoa Dinner Cream of Carrot Soup Stewed Veal Knuckle Mashed Potatoes Dried Lima Beans Chocolate Bread Pudding Coffee Small Date Cakes—These call for one-half cupful shortening, one cup- ful sugar, one cupful milk, bne-half teaspoonful salft, one egg, four cupfuls flour and three teaspaonsfuls baking powder.

Then with a sudden chuckle she added, “Villum, he ask me if you vant heem bash dat guy’s head in for heem. He bring one beek stick along. He say he have cet handy if dai guy gets funny. I tink he coom now already yet.” I pushed Katie aside and fairly flew to the kitchen door. I had had experience with William Trumbull's truculence, especially when my half- witted old protege thought I was In danger. I didn’t wish him to get into any controversy with the man at the door, although I had a secret feeling of relief at the assurance that Wil- liam’s strength und devotion were at hand. With his arms full of kindling, Wil- liam was just coming up the steps of the kitchen porch as I reached the door. If the man at the door had been watching him instead of fur- tively eyeing me his suspicions of | something unusual would have been aroused. Words That Betray For William, his vanity and self- fmportance tickled to the utmost by the commission I had sent him, was wearing a most portentous expression —a cobination of cunning and deter- mination. As soon as he saw me he began to wink and nod his head and to screw up his face in a series of signals designed to show me that he understood my message asking him to stumble accidentally so that he would hit the peddler’s incongruously gloved hand. Even with my terror of the man be- fore me I had hard work to keep my face free from smil But T flatter myself I kept it absolutely expres- sionless as I spoke. “Put that kindling in Katie’s wood box, William,” I said, “and then get another load.” As I spoke I moved to one side of the door so that William, in order not to disturb me, would have to walk on he right side of the pseudo peddler. Then I held my breath, figuratively and actually, as William, all the im- portance of his commission written on his face, rted to pass the man, stumbled, letting somo of the kindling 1, and adroitly managed to strike nd smartly, but with every ap- arance of accident, against the gloved hand of the peddler. The effect was electrical. The man jumped as if a bullet had struck him, an agonized expression crossed his face, and he fairly spat two words at William—two words similar to tho one I had heard in Lillian’s study. From my lips burst an exclamation, suppressed almost as it escaped, but still distinctly audible to the enraged man. He turned abruptly, cast one glance into my face, where he must have read recognition, and then turn- ing, took to his heels, not toward the street, but down toward the pond, which was the rear boundhry of our place and that owned by the Dur- kees. super-de-luxe production of Charles Dicken's dramatic story of French Revolution, “A Tale of Two Cities,” and on the same program is that in- ternationally famous team of stars, Francis Bushman and Beverly Bayne, who appear in a mighty interesting and clever wonder-play that is full of excitement and laughter, ‘“Red, White and Blue Blood.” Farnum’s work in “A Tale of Two Cities,” is, in many respects, by far the most ef- fective of his career, as well as the most difficult. In the first place, he plays two distinct parts, that of cap- able and noble Charles Darnay, and that of Sidney Carton, the unfortun- ate fellow whose wonderful intellec- tual accomplishments are not accom- panied by sufficient will power to enable him to battle against his low- er self. And so clever is Farnum's interpretations of these two parts, that even in those scenes wherein the two appear together, omne would readily swear that they are two dif- ferent men, for in spite of the physi- cal and facial similarity the charac- ter that Farnum puts into the fea- tures of Darnay are quite different from the impression he leaves as Carton. The story itself is too well known to require . repetition, but | there is a certain realism lent to it in its motion-picture form which could never be attained in literature. The scenes of the French Revolution, and particularly the storming of the Bastile, that match that enkindled France, are more than historical fact. They are intensely interesting and thrilling actualities that grip the heart and quicken the pulse. “Red, White and Blue Blood,” is an amus- ing tale of the newly rich and their efforts to establish themselves among the nobility. Their is a lot of whole- scme humor in it. and hearty laughs frequent. It sets off the other feature admirably. A funny Key- stone comedy is another enjoyable item on the program, as well as the | new Ford Weekly. Another double- barrelled program of great merit will come to Fox’' tomorrow for two s. It is sufficient only to name the pictures and the stars to guar- antee the superiority of the enter- tainment. Sonia Markova, that new Fox star, comes in her latest suc- ces A Heart’s Revenge,” a dra- matic tale of woman's hatred and man’s ment. William 8. Hart will appear in one of the best fea- ture pictures he has yet made, called The Apostls of Vengeance.” One of the screamingly funny Fox Sunshine Comedies that have made themselves so popular in New Britain will also be on the program. It is called “The Son-of-a-Gun” and is said to\ be \mong the funniest Sun-shines that William Fox ever made. Mutt and Jeff, those quaintly comic creations of Bud F , are among thoso " present in “Hunters,” and the third episode of ‘“Vengeance and the Wo- man, with the latest issue of the new Pathe News will complete the show, which will run continucusly on Saturday.
