It was not until we were safely in her own room-—I guesged that she had chosen it because my mother-in- law would not be so apt to dieturb us there—that she turned upon me tensely. Lilllan Warns Madge, “Madge,” she sald, “I have always though you wwre one of the gamest women I knew, and the time has come for you t6 prove me either a fool or a seer. I told you the truth.

Lillian put her hands on my shoul- ders and looked down steadily into my eyes. “Yes, Claire Foster,” she said, “and you may be thankful that a thorough- Iy up-to-date damsel like her is the lady in the case.

He feit as though he were stifling. "I want to talk to Edna,” he man- aged. He heard a muffled “Good Lord!" The recefver at the other end sound- ed as though it had fallen to the table, There was a murmur. Then in panic Edna’s volce sounded: “Who is it? What do you want?" Gently Jack replaced his own re- " ceiver on the hook. From the booth he went to the elerk's desk and arranged to take the first train for Paris. Then he went upstairs to pack. He had complete- 1y forgotten Nella and she was con- tent to be forgotten for the time. Jack packed deliberately, with an absence of hurry that had something menac- ing about it. It was only when he came to the revolver in its nest among his handkerchiefs that a violent spasm of emotion passed over him. Then he packed this In his bag, too, and his cold methodical manner came back. His telephone rang. “Long distance, sir. Hold the wire,” ghe operator said. “Jack’s hand, as he held the revol- wer, for the first time trembled. Ed- pa's volce came over the wire. “Jack, dearest, was that you on the phone a while ago?"” “Yes." “Good (iod, Jack! Why do you--| what i the matter, dear? T can't récognize vour tone at all.

No doubt, you'va heen to them and tried to pin a tail, when you were blindfolded, upon the picture of a tailless donkey %that was hung on a wall. Somshow Jimmy Rabbit got the notion that he would give a fox-party. And as soon as the idea popped into RABBIT JIMMY his head he hurried to invite all his friends. At first they were quite backward about accepting his invitation. “A Yox-Party!” Miss Belinda Bun- ny exclaimed with a shudder when Jimmy Rabbit stopped at her house to 'ask her if she would come, “Won't that be very dangerous?” Jimmy Rabbit smiled. You don't understand,” he sald. “There won't be a real Fox present. There'll be only the picture of a Tox." g Miss Bunny clapped her paws to- gether and cried that that would be fun, “May I go, Ma?" she begged her mother, “Yes! We'll go,” She hadn’t been invited at n!|. said Mrs. Bunny. But, in ] {"See what Ive brought Jealled to Tommy. she gou!* she meant to go just cause 'she liked a good time nmv and then like anybody else. Well, Jimmy ' Rabbit willing to have Mrs. Tox-party, so long as her daughter with her, settled. By the end ofthe day every one had said he would come to the party --after Jimmy Rabbit had explained to all that there would *not be the slightest danger. That, evening the guests met in the back pasture, near the woods., Along the fence Jimmy Rabbhit had stretched a life-size picture of Tom- my Fox. And when the guests saw it they "all laughed heartily. It looked exactly like Tommy, except that it had no {ail. And that made cverybody chuckle. “Now'", sald Jimmy Rabbit, *“we'll let Miss Belinda Bunny be the first one to pin ‘the tail on the picture,” He stepped forward to blindfold Be- linda. And just then Relinda's mother>shouldered her way through the company. “I'm the oldest in the party,” she announced. “T ought to be the first.” Well, Jimmy Rabbit didn't want to offend her. She was the mother of Miss Belinda. S6 he tied a hand- i kerchief over Mrs. Bunny's eyes, put ia tail and a pin inte her paw, spun her about several times, and then gave her a gentle pugh: toward the picture. He gave her a gentle push, though he really felt like giving her a hard one. Meanwhile everyhody had taken his eyes off the pleture. in order to wateh what Jimmy Rabbit was deo- ing. So no one had geen what hap- pened. No one had noticed Tommy Fox himself when he slippet through the fence and stood right in front of the picture, so close to it that he hid it completely. He twisted his tail between himself and the picture. And when the company turned their eyes Itoward him not one of them knew any difference, Certainly dizzy Mrs. Bunny, blindfolded as she was, couldn't see what was in front of her as ghe zigzageged up to Tommy, Suddenly she stopped. was quite Bunny at his she brought So that was “My!

Mrs. Bunny took three steps for- ward and tried to pin the fail to Tommy Fox's nose §he pricked him shafply— ko | sharplv that he gave a velp of pain. Then there was a mad scramble.

The new comedy is to be presented in New York during the week of November 207and already a great intefest is reported in the metropolis becanse of the tremendous succhss enjoyed by the last Molnar play to be presented in America— “Liliom". Those who have read the new play -—"Fashions for Men'—declare it to have been written with a tender com- passion which is rather unexpected from Molnar. “Iiliom” and “The Devil,” the two other plays seen in this country, are remembered as fan- tastic pleces in which an ironic note rather dominated the action. Now we have the playwright in a new vein, a tender, gently humorons vein some- what akin to that of Barrie and yet wholly unlike Barrie. 0. P.
