For a moment I lay motionless, try- ng to realize what it was that had [happened. The shaded night light on b stand by the bed cast the faintest of limmer, too feeble an illumination ftor anything save its purpose, that of enabling me to get a light quickly when my baby cried. I.put’out my hand, pulled the chain vhich increased its force, and nar- owly scrutinized the sleeping child in he crib by the side of my bed. But o was sleeping peacefully, his plump heeks rosy from the cold fresh air boming from the open window. Then looked at the wrist watch, Dicky’s pift, which I wear sleeping and wak- ng now, for the reason for my sud- len awakening had come to me, poignantly. Yes, it was half past five, and the o paper train must have pulled in n time & few minutes earlier. It was ho noise of its coming which had ;wakened me, that had never failed to #o since Dicky’s departure, al- ough I had never paid any atten- bion to it before. But I knew that at quarter to six exactly the newsman ould throw the morning paper into he little vestibule and since Deky’s oing, I felt that I had lived only from ne morning paper to another, al- hough before— My conscience smote ne for my selfish attitude—I had been ell content to leave it until my fast coffee.

SWEETHEART the realization that I may have to stand alone between my baby and the world has led me to neglect no safe- guard to my health and strength which I can manage without incon- veniencing others or hindering my work. And then, flashlight in hand, for the heavy window curtains shut out the early daylight, I went noiselessly down the stairs and opened the front door. For a moment I stood there motion- less battling with the mnervous fear which always possesses me when the newspaper is actually within my | reach. Two men hurrying to an early train gave me a curious glance, and one said something in a low tone to the other. I guessed that they were commenting upon the regularity of | my taking in the paper for I had seen | them every morning since the sailing of Dicky’s squadron, but I had room | in my soul for neither resentment nor embarrassment. One query only obsessed me. Would there be a blessed lack of news in the paper this morning, or—7? I took in the paper without looking at it, closed the outer door and then, pulling the chain of the electric table lamp in the hall I drew a chair near, sat down, and spread out the front page. ‘What the Headlines Told. Dear God! There it was the thing I had so dreaded. The black letters of the blaring headlines seemed to leap from the page like living things as I gazed at them. TRANSPORT TORPEDOED—300 DEAD Alminana Sunk by Submarine Twenty Miles Off Irish Coast—Lifeboats | Dashed on Rocks. i 1,000 Survivors Landed in North Ireland Port—No List of Dead Available I read the long account through fevelshly but found nothing to relieve | | | the awtful terror that had settled on | f | | i my heart at the first sight of the heavy 'black type. In vain I tried to tell my- self that there were many chances against Dicky’s being on the torpedoed transport that as I didn’t even know the namse of the ship on which he had sailed it was futile to worry ahead of | time. The knowledge that the ship, | whatever its name upon which Dicky had sailed, must be about due over- | seas weighed upon me crushingly. I couldn’t rid myself of the obsession that he was one of those who had ex- perfenced the awful horror of which I had just read. | With a little shiver I closed my eyes in the attempt to gather myself together. There was no time for my indulgence in fears or tremors. Dicky’s mother, old and feeble must be my first consideration. I must keep this news from her as long as possible. Fortunately, since Dicky's departure she had carefully avolded the sight of a newspaper. | “I cannot bear to look at one, Mar- garet,” she had said pitifully the day after I told her Dicky had sailed. “Won’t you look through them first and read or tell me the general news?” | “Gladly, Mother,” I had answered, | and the adverb but futilely expressed the relief I felt at her decision. I felt it to be fairly providential now. But I must safeguard the chance of her suspecting anything from my father's face or mine or from Katie's emotion- alism, I heard a door open and close in the hall upstairs, and then the sound of my mother-in-law's footsteps, slow, dragging coming toward the stairway. ! Quickly I turned the paper I held so that the black headlines were hidden, and stood up, masking the terror in | my face with the best imitation of casualness I could manage.

Easlly and cheaply made at home, but it beats them all for quick results. Thousands of housewives have found | that they can save two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough prepara- tions, by using this well-known old recipe for making cough syrup at home. It is simple and cheap to make, but it really has no equal for prompt results. It takes right hold of a cough and gives immediate relicf, wsually stcpping an ordinary cough in 24 hours or less.

Mae Murray and Kenneth Harlan, {in “Her Body in Bond,” and Herbert Rawlinson, in “Smashing Through,” with the Pathe News and Topics of the Day, are the attractions'at Fox's tonight with four high-grade vaude- ville acts. “Her Body in Bond,” with Mae Murray and Kenneth Harlan, is very interesting and full of little human touches that will appeal strongly to the emotions. It will surely cause a sympathetic tear now and then trickle down your cheeks. Mae Mur- ray portrays Polly, a strugsling little vaudeville actress, talented, ingenious and wholly wrapped up in her hus- band, portrayed by Kenneth Harlan. Through her husband’s sickness and her subsequent poverty she becomes indebted to Sleeth, an unscrupulous booking agent. How this little girl risked her body and soul all for the sake of her hushand is graphically told in this dramatic Universal pro- duction, which is produced every bit as beautifully as ‘‘For Husbands Only” and “Talk of the Town,” both recently shown at Fox's. “Smashing Through” is a typical old-fashioned melodrama, with lots of heart’s interest and plenty of pep, some sensational stunts such as riding an automobile on the railroad track and having a train overtake it and 1 it bodily on the cow-catcher, on a motorcycle at breakneck speed, with Herbert Rawlinson in his glory, risking his neck all through it. The vaudeville end of the Fox pro- gram is varied and entertaining, being “Courting Days,” a Hat This smart little hat for mourning wear is of black silk moire with circle of dull blagk feathers i to ! riding | | for Motoring | Kitty splendid singing offering.

The vaudeville show is an entertaining one. Especlally good are Ted Riely's “Heart Breakers,” in a musical comedy offering of the very highest type. The other two acts are of good quality.
