Like most women, I never leave my room to see a caller without a swift glance into my mirror to see if I'm presentable. My glass gave me back the reflection of a troubled face and puzzled eyes. For without knowing just why, I dreaded this farewell call of the young physician who, I knew, was to leave in a few hours for the camp from which he was to be sent to France, the goal of his hopes. T couldn’t rid myself of the convic. tion which had seized me at Katie's innocent description ot his farewell to my mother-in-law, that he had pur- posely waited until he had seen her safely outside of the house before coming over, And I had no taste for & private interview with Dr. Pettit, es- Last Day of the Big Show “SHOULDER ARMS.* with CHARLIE CHAPLIN and VIVIAN MARTIN VAUDEVILLE TOMORROW, WM.

I al- ways had all the creaking household machinery out of sight when Dicky came home, and gave every bit of my time to him and to his comfort. But I knew there was no avoiding this intervew. Dr. Pettit had prac- tically saved my father’s life, and had brought Dicky back to health when all the odds were against him. I owed him a debt of gratitude, to say noth- ing of the bill which he had never pre sented, and of which I knew 1 must speak, although I infinitely dreaded to do so. “Good morning, Mrs. Graham.” Dr. Pettit rose as I entered the room, and stood almost as stiffly as if he’d been “at attention.” “Good morning.” I crossed the room and held out my hand in greet- ing. His hand, which clasped mine in return, was icy in its chilliness. 1 “You're going this afternoon, I un- derstand,” I said perfunctorily after he’d refused a chair. “I'm going now,” he returned most solemnly. “I have already said good-bye to your father—you know he ! ing which I couldn’t read. doesn’t wish to come over here until the end of the next week when his Jap’s month will be up, also the lease of the house—and I watched for your mother-in-law and the baby so that I would have no good-bye after yours. I talked with Mr. Graham last Satur- day, told him that I would probably not see him again, and I want to get away now before he comes. I am in no mood today to talk platitudes to your husband or anybody else.” Ahead of Schedule. His face had darkened with a feel- There was something elemental, primitive, about the man as if he’'d cast off all the fet- tering, softening trifies that hedge a gentleman's demeanor. I made him no answer, only locked my hands a trifle more tightly. I had no idea what he would say next, { “Look here!” he said roughly a mo- | ment later. “I want you to answer me a question truthfully. Is one of your reasons for going to work a Quixotic idea that—pardon me for even speaking of it, but I must—that you're indebted pecuniarily to me for professional services?” “That isn’t my reason for golng to work,” I answered steadily. “I meant to go anyway, but our debt to you is one of the things I hope to discharge as soon as possible.” He uttered a sound which have been a curse or a groan, then walked impetuously over to me, and put his hand on my shoulder with a grip that hurt. “I was afraid of this,” he said. “Now listen to me. Don’t you know, can’t you see, that it would torture me beyond endurance to know that you were toiling to get money to pay me for what was only a pleasure and a duty? Your father was in the serv- ice, your husband an aviator, both serving their country. And you would take away from me the privilese of giving what little skill I possess in thelr service!

WILLIAM S. HART ;»"Shark. Monroe A ARTG2AFT Picture AT THE LYCEUM THEATER BILLS TORIGHT I'OX’'s THEATER. Chaplin, in continues to but all will have to see inimitable Charlie, as - Arms” will be shown at Tox’'s all this week, closing Saturday night. Tonight offers the last oppor- tunity to see Theda Bara in “The She Devil” and the vaudeville show head- lined by the Four Lunds. Tomorrow brings Gladys Brockwell in “The Strange Woman,” her latest offering and a powerful drama taken from the stage play of the same name. “The Strange Woman” is a picturs ized version of the stage success of the me name which ran for.an en- tire season on Broadway. The pro- duction was written by William J. Hurlsburt and was later novelized by Sydney McCall, more than one million copies of the book being sold. ‘Tne Strange Woman’ is a play of Ameri- can life. The scenes are laid in P: and a small present-day city in Towa, and the contrasts are those of ideas and customs. The heroine does not believe in marriage. In Paris she found much sympathy; in Delphi, Ta., none. It is in no sense a preachy piay, but tells a worthwhile story with mo- ments of dramatic intensity and abun- dance of quaint humor, Gladys Brockwell, as “The Strange ‘Woman,” having had one sad experi- ence of conventional married life in Paris, decides she will never be shackled by law again to another man. Even her love for a young American architect does not alter her ideas, and the contrast between “The Strange Woman” and the hypocritical woman she meets later in the Iowan town, her sweetheart's home, is most effec- tively shown. Charlie Chaplin, in *Shoulder Arms,” will continue to be shown at Fox’s for the remainder of the week, this three-reel comedy causing more comment than any previous comedy offering ever shown locally. Charlie's rat trap, his cootie reliever, the egg beater and bath tub, all find a place in his efforts to make trench life com- fortable for himself to the misery of his bunkies. The latest Pathe News and Mutt and Jeff will also be shown with four new acts of vaudeville. “Shoulder fill Fox's an oppor- Charlie still theater, LYCEUM THEATER. Charlie Chaplin in “Shoulder Arms” and Vivian Martin in *Unc] Goods,” are showing at the L tonight for the very last time. Vivian Martin, in her new picture, will por- tray a western role, that of the daughter of a sheriff, and her remark- a xperience is tat of being esnt “by express” from one town to an- other. Unclaimed at her destination, she is about to be sold at auction, when she is rescued and a “bad man’ she had once befriended, sacrifices his life in her defense. The vaude- ville bill has three good acts. Tomorrow and for the remainder of the week the Lyceum will present William 8. Hart in “Shark Monroe”. The versatility of William S. Hart is well known but his army of admirers who have seen him in his western portrayals and marvelled at his skill, will find him in an entirely new environment in, “Shark Monroe”. He is the master of a sealing schooner, whose reputation for ferocity is a by- word along the Pacific coast As the human shark in this picture, his is the embodiment of savage cruelty until a refining influence in the form of a beautiful brave girl enters into his life and transforms his nature. This is an unusually thrilling picture, finely produced and has an excep- tionally brilliant cast of screen players. There will also be a new vaudeville show KEENEY’S THEATER. Elsie Ferguson, in her photoplay success, “The Danger Mark,” from Robert W. Chambers" famous novel, is the feature plcture at Keeney’'s today. ‘The Danger Mark” is a strong play of society life among the wealthy of a large ity and shows the struggle of a young girl to overcome the temptations of the life. Miss Ferguson is of just the type to play Diana, the leading character, and her work in the picture is excellent. Charlie Chaplin Is also seen in “ghoulder-Arms,” his second million~ greatest dollar comedy. ‘“The Hand of Veng Weekly and several short p complete the photoplays.
