There has long stretch of peaceful valley our life journey since the awful when our baby boy was stolen from us by Grace Draper's pitiful tool. Tim. I came very near banishin my husband from my heart at that time, bezause f his absence motoring with Edith | Fairfax during the awful first hours of Junior's disappearance, but Dicky's terrible romorse and the restoration of our baby brought us together again. and I have been given no reason (o doubt him since. Is he, perhaps, beginning to weary of the unevent- ful quict tenor of our way? The summer months have gone swiftly since that terrible experience, with my most serlous worry, the condition of Lillian Underwood. She rallied so slightly, gained strength eo slowly in her long convalescence, that when last, the mere her former self, she was able leave the hospital, Dr. Pettit pro- nounced mountain air the only restor- ative for her. Of course there was but one place to which Robert Savarin would hear of her coming, to the Catskill-moun- tain home of his sister, Mrs. Cos- grove, and Lilllan clung to me so pitifully that Junior and I accom- panied her and her smafl daughter. Marion, to the placé I remembered s0 well as the scene of the dramatic experience which gave Robert Sav- arin back to reason Dicky “Resolves.” Of Grace Draper, since that night of Junior's recovery and her melo- dramatic escape, we have heard nothing. She has vanished as if she had been snatched from the earth That Hugh Grantland will not rest until she Is found and put where she can menace me no more, I am cer- tain, but of that loyal, true-hearted friend 1 have had no word since the night he bade me farewell, save the inevitable postcards simply bearing his address, which he sends me when- ver his duties call him to a new place The to prison up here think the that most captious say it has been Dicky's ement, loyal been a in day across the road was sent long term. and only in this out-of-the-way mountain resort, am | beginning to escape the publicity consequent upon his trial after Junior's recovery. It has been a wonderfully restful time for me, with Lillian slowly gaining strength, and with Dicky spending a good deal of time with us. There is a little clutch at my heart at the thought that he may not love “the peaceful valley or slorious mountain-top” as I do. Perhaps he roads my better than I imagine, up. moves to the mock and possesses of my hands. ‘Look here, old dear,” he says, with a tenseness beneath his care- less manner that tells me of strong teeling. “Just let me tell vou one thing. ‘I may not care for monotony, but there's one kind I'm going to cul- tivate fter, and that's the fem- inine No more platonie or ntances, no" more drives or teas or studio dances.

Paris, Sept. 28.—Fire broke out this morning in the Magasin Au Prin- tempts, one of the largest depart- ment stores in Paris and in a short time it was seen that an entire block of the store would be destroyed.

This is the Frank Sid- ney company in a real novelty act. Cecil and Mack, a good looking girl with a good voice and an equally capa- ble male partner have a snappy act of songs, dances and a monologue. Rector and Lee transport their audi- ence to the land of jazz and Albin and Kenny vary the bill with some good feats of muscular skill “The Bank,” featuring Charlie Chaplin, is a laughable movie, and The Primal Law,” with Dustin Far- num in the title role, is a tense drama which, while it has a western flavor and setting, is not one of the old type )t wild and woolly western melo- dramas. It is a strong story of friend- ship, but with action and man to man battles to give the necessary punch. “AFFAIRS OF ANATOL,” The season’s biggest photoplay is still drawing capacity houses to the Palace where “The Affairs of Anatol” is playing all week.

Yet that is what Cecil B. DeMille did in his Paramount production, ‘The Affairs of Anatol.” At the climax of this episode, Wal- lace Reid was instructed to run amick, smashing everything break- able in the set. The orders were comprehensive and Reid obeyed them to the letter. No one stick of fur- niture remained in its original shape when the vandalism was complete. AT LYCEUM. What is the strongest desire of the following: The lure of passion, of wealth, of happiness, of success, or the lure of vouth? Marec Anthony betrayed his wife—his country—gave up everything a man holds dear for, passion. Since then thousands of crimes have been committed in the name of this same desire. But, there is one desire still stronger! ' For, stronger than the desire for passion, wealth, happiness, or success, is the “lure of youth. Hoyt's Revue will present the hu- morous sketch, “Two Old Sports,” and the Reveler Touchstone leaves it to you to guess who they are. It's a darn good show—good entertainment, singing, girls, comedy, by New Brit- ain’s own show. S% SLEEPY TIME TALES % The Tale of Mrs. Ladybug (By Arthur MRS. GREEN'S MISTAKE.
