But I was sure that the with the field glasses, upon see- me leave the house had sounded whistle as a signal, and that he other member of the mysterious old was creeping along the er side of the hedge, watching my fvements. “Wiliam! Oh, William!"” Iy first emotion was fear—a cold, ipy little fear—but for the credit my womanhood. I'm glad to say t it was quickly replaced by hot gnation. My anger, however, did make me lose sight of the fact this espionage constituted a very peril to the work I was pledged [Lillian to perform. I must find how far the men next door in- ded to carry their spying, at the he time pretending to be in deep orance of it. Fith this thought in mind I strolled of the grape arbor casually, and hg to the side of it, looked at the le of vines critically, lifting some he tendrils and inspecting them ely.

The most fascinating tale came to me recently of a woman wha went abroad with one steamer trunk, and in that steamer trunk were absolutely all her possessions! She didn’t have a lot of furniture in a storeroom in some warehouse, nor even a trunkful of clothes and letters and memorabilia in someone’s She had given away, de- stroved or sold every living thing she possessed! Perhaps She Regretted Some Things. Doubtless she lived to regret some of those things. There must have been books she wanted to consult, clothes she could have used, and household goods that she could not replace when she started in to furnish again. But what a blessed sensation of freedom from the tyranny of things she must have felt at the time! The mania ta acquire and hoard is one of the primitive instincts of man.

There is only one way of looking at it—Fairbanks is the master of polite comedy and is the Tanking actor of that class in picture circles today. He has shown it ever since his directors commenced furnishing him with prop- er vehicles, and as cach picture is completed and given to the world, the fact is emphasized. Fairbanks just bubbl: over with the joy of living, and his nature becomes contagious, his audience following him through from beginning to end. If there is any one character the average picture audience is in sym- pathy with, it is that of the man who another, is misunderstood and constantly gets into hot water.
