S That something far out of the or- dinery had bappened to Dicky, the news of which was contained in the letter he was smoothing out, I was sure, I was certain of something else also, that whatever revelation the let- ter contained, I did not wish to learn it on the public highway. Therefore, I did not stop the car, as he had sug- gested, but sent it along at undimin- ished speed, speaking quickly, plead- ingly, as I did so. “Oh, Dicky, please ! at the farm. phur candles to’ Mrs." Ticer—she's waiting for them, you know—and then Ie &0 ‘up. on our hill be disturbed. there, and you can tell me all about it.” “Oh,. of course, .if Mrs. Ticer’s sul- phur candles are of more jmportance than my affairs.!” he began huffily, but my car caught an intonation of We're almost T'll. just give these sul-1 ¥ inne! beneiath hs crustiness, snd I knew that he in reality approved my {susgestion. “It's No Use—" I did not answer him—indeed, did not speak again until we had turned into the neglected, srass-grown drive- way of the Dacey place, had delivered 1the sulphur candles to Mrs. Ticer, aad then turned the car up an old weedy ‘cow-path leading past the barn to the pasture land on the hillside. As we reached it, I parked the car in sych a fashion that the exquisitely etched view of rolling meadows, woodland and church-spired-village, with the ocean at the end, should face my beauty- loving husband and comfort him, or. at least disract his sttention. Bu he only gave it his ususl tri- bute of a leng, silent, admiring took, then turned back to with a gee- ture ' which savored somewhat of actual despair. : Would could Mars- —LYCEUM— .— Now Playing — - BLAKE’S CIRCUS With the Original Bucking Mule.

I put the page down, looking at | my husband, with a sympathetic frightened understanding of his feel- ing upon he receipt of the letter. I remember o well how frankly over- joyed Dicky had been when Mars- dn had) given him the Pennington book to {llustrate. Given it not be- cause of Marsden’s personal prefer- ence or friendship—Marsden would not have given nor Dicky recejved anything on that basis—but Penning- ton, the man of the day in book circles, had been hunting an illus- trator, dissatisfied with the big men who had been doing the work, and Marsden bad adroitly brought some specimens of Dicky’s - work before the great author's eves, without a word of comment upon them. Pen- nington had declared that they wers exactly the kind of thing he wished, and Dicky forthwith had been given the work of illustrating his just- finished ngvel. It hed meant a great deal, for Digky—while a promising and more than ordinary suocessful illustrator— has not reached the top of the lad- der, where three or four men sit complacently but insecurely, ad this was the first time he had been chosen to illustrate one of the books which I had heard him describe as “Yop-hole thingm” And now, the fllustrations over which he had worked s0 hard, had been rejected.

When Spot stood stock still one day, with his tail stuck straight out be- hind him, and peinted at her with his noge, he made her almost frantic. “What are you pointing at with that long nose of yours?” Miss Kifty Cat snarled. Spot didn’t say a word., For the momaent he 4idn’t move . any_. more than the iron dog did, that stood in 3 yard on the outskirts of the village and never so much as wagged his tail from one year's end to another. Somehow Epot's queer behavior gave Miss Kitty Cat an odd, creepy feeling along her back. His -fur rose on end. She glared at Spot and spat at him in & most unladylike fashion. Spot found it very hard te stand still and never let out a single yelp. Once he almost whined. But he man- aged to stifle the sound. “I¢ she swells up much more she’s| " he thought. 1” Miss Kitty scolded. ‘Don’'t you know better than to stare at & lady?” Never an answer did old Spot make. It was a littlo more than Miss Kitty Cat could endure. With a yowl that had in it something of anger and something of fear, too, she Jumped off the doorstep where she had been sitting and whiked around the corner of the house. With Miss Kitty's first leap Spot came suddenly to life. He barked Joytully and followed her. Miss Kitty Cat ran up a tree in the yard and stayed there until Spot went off chuckling. N ‘'m glad I played that trick on her,” he said to himself. “It seems to bother her more than anything olse I've ever tried.” Miss Kitty when he met her, either Thereafter Spot often pointed at inside the house or about the yard.

If you drag your claws across his nese just once, he'll be careful, after that, to look the other way when he sees you." “Your plan sounds as If it might be worth trying,” sald Miss Kitty thoughtfully. : (Copyright 1921 by The Metropolitan Newspaper Service).

A wondertul program of photoplays and vaudeville is now appearing at the Paldce for the balance of the week. The Keith vaudeville bill fea- tures George Choos’ production, Regular Fellows” with Jack Henry and Edythe May and a cast of twelve clever artists. They offer the best musical comedy that has ever been presented in a New Britain theater. The act abounds with good, clean comedy, catchy music, and dancing. A carload of scenery and effects and very elaborate wardrobe is carried by this fine production. Other acts on the bill include Harry Price, car- toonist, Lega Toruain, a clever song- stress, and the. Harmony Trio, in a clever musical offering. The feature photoplay presents Wallace Reid in his latest, “Always Audacious.” This is one of the best of the Reid pic- tures and one in which he plays a dual role.
