Every syl lable of that conversation was etched upon my do memory Out of the Past. “It strikes me, old girl, that aren't swooning with joy to see me,” he had drawled when Lilllan had dis. missed the cringing Jake Wilsey with & warning “You are welcome, had returned, all the upon her to overlook his dastardly treatment f her because of his war braveryy “And I shall stick to what I wrote you If—if——you—wish to be. gin—over again, if-—-you want me, will do my share.” And then Harry ® look of gratified Savarin, standing Isudly, brutally. “Lord love you girl!" he 4 said *J don't want you nor you don't want me.

She had rushed away from i with but a single furious epithet: {ou beast!” I never had heard her rofer to the conversation since, and this unexpected demand of her made me wonder uneasily what lay beneath ner questioning. Why Madge Knew I remember eve tectly,” I replied “I have wondered that speech of Harry's. It wasn't like him to be gratuitously brutal, espec- ia’ly before you, for I believe if Harry could have a true emgtion it is his teeling for yoy. if he did not purposely calculate that eech so my conscience would be clear about freeing him. Did he say anything to you after I had gone that would le you to agree with me?” Lucky for me that her first question had given me time to recall that memorable day, to anticipate this very question from her, and to pre- pare for it. I had surmised at the time Harry Underwood uttered the insulting words that he had said them for just the purpose Lillian had indi- rated. And when she had left us he had confirmed my suspicion with the nonchalant statement that “most of that spiel to Lil was pure bunk.” But irimediat afterward—with words that would ring in my ears always, | with a snatched, enforced kiss that | burned my lips with its remembrance —he had proved to me that he, in- deed, wished nothing, needed nothing of Lilllan, and that she would be toolish indeed to consider him when seeking her freedom Of course, 1 could not this. but the knowledge rie firm in the statement lotter, but true in the which 1 wswered her. “He said nothing to opinion I have steadfastly ou should not consider him In the loast, for he needs nothing, desires notking of you,” I returned steadily. ‘It is Marion you should consider, and yourself—and Robert.” “If I considered only myself and Robert,” she replied with a wan smile, “my decision would be quickly made.

It does not depend upon the eternal triangle for its sustained inter- est. Nor require mob scenes to bolster up shortcomings in plot. There something so sweet and wholesome and interesting in the story that the blase New Yorker, so particular and diserim- inating in his choice of theatrical en- tertainment, has seen fit to give it his steady patronage and unqualified en- thusiasm ever since it was first shown there in September, 1920. WALLACE REID AT PALACE. Automobile race enthusiasts will see some of the high spots of the big speed classic which was held at the famous new Beverly Hills Speedway near Los Angzeles on February 27th, 1921, when they see Wallace Reid's Paramount | picture, ““Too Much Speed’ which will | be shown at the Palace theater for three days, beginning next Monday. One of the big features of this picture is the race in which Wallace Reid in the role of Dusty Rhoades, is supposed to participate, and the big speed match referred to was used as a background for the story. Many of the most thrill- ing moments of the big race were film- ed and will appear among the scenes of the picture. SUNDAY AT LYCEUM.
