What Madge Aad to Do With Katie and Mother Graham “Oh my Missls Graham ! Vot ees et? Vol happened dot you look like dot ?" Katie's strident, excited vodeo rousgd my mothar-in-law and myself from the momentary horrified inertia ! which had seized us at our discovery that the torn photograph of Claire Foster with its bizarre inseription to Dicky was not among the rubbish in the waste-basket, “There was in the basket photograph which is now Katie,” 1 said, “and we are much afraid that the reporter you saw walking through the hall has taken it. Which way was he walking when you saw him? Was he coming toward the kitchen or going away from it? Katie considered a second, Iy wishing to be very sure of her statement. She was shrewd enough to see that somethipe very important hinged upon the whereabouts of the missing photograph. | “He vas cooming avay from kitch- en,” she decided finally. *“‘He turned around ven he saw me, pretended to be hunting for outside door.” My mother-in-law looked at me with her eyes full of dismayed con- vietton, | torn gone, very a evident- Close to Panic “Then he has it," she said hopeless- Iy. “Whatever-are we to do?" “Don’t you vorry.” Katie dashed for the door. “Dot bunch of soup greens not get out of dis house mit dot photograph ecef I have to lock | heem in room und undress heem like vun baby." I made a quick movement and caughf her arm just as she was slid- ing thrpugh the door, and 1 held it| firmly. i “Wait, Katigl® T aid with decision. “We must be very sure that he has it first. Remember, he didn't take any of the other pictures of which you were afraid.” “Goot reason,” Katie sniffed dis- dainfully, “Doge all in papers before.” “That's yery true, Katie”—and, in-, deed, the girl had spoken nothing but the truth, for at the dread time of Junior's kidnapping we had aided the newspapers with all the photo- graphs we had. “Nevertheless, we must be very sure that he has it be- fore we accuse him.” “Where else can it be?” my moth- i thon, have been in the basket at all, and yet 1 told you I distinctly remember putting it there, Do you doubt my veracity ?" “Of course not, Mother," T returned soothingly, although secretly 1 was strongly doubting, not her veracity, but her memory, I have had two or three painful experiences when she has been per- feetly sure that she has put an arti- cle in & certain place and 1 have found it in an entirely different loca- But never have 1 known her to admit that she had been in the wrong. She was always sure to de- clare that some one had moved the article after she had put it in the place she had named, and this in the face of the most convincing proof to the contrary, “What's to Be Done?" “Well, then.! Why not compel that reporter to give it up? Of course, you're right in not permitting Katie to tackle him, hut there's no reason why you shouldn't demand that he give it ‘up.” When Mother Graham gets an idea in her head, it is a Herculean task to get it out again, and I raw myself figuratively ' led by the ear to the Iving room and compelled to voice her demand. I was at my wits' end, for & second, and the sight of Lilllan coming swiftiy down the hall was most welcome. She shut the kitchen door behind her and spoke in low, hurried tones. “T've stalled just as long as I can.” she said. “You'll have to comse in, Madge, and make some pretence of answering thelr qudstions. What's the matter?” Her quick, shrewd glance darted from one face to the other and she interpclated explosively: “You can’'t find the picture ! sainted aunt ! ow, what's dona?" 4 We explained swiftly, and she strode up the kitechen and down again, turning to me with quick de- cision, "You'll have to tackle these people alone,” she said. “I'll go on angther still hunt for the photograph, and watzh with Katie's help for any at- tempt on that reporter's part to make a getaway.

No sooner was Barrett well gone than Rex Warren left his busy law office and went straight to Anita Bag- rett. The two greeted each other quietly, with that lack of ostentation that comes of long and deep under- standing. Brietly Warren told her of her husband’s talk. Anita turned to stare out of the window. In her stiff attitude was a summoning of resistance to an over- whelming crisis—a woman who has wrapped herself so long in defensive coldness that she no longer knows the rellef of giving way to her natural feelings. ‘“What do you want me to do, Anita? You must tell me where you stand—where we all stand."” Anita tore her hands apart. “Oh, I don't know, Rex, I know, It's all such a muddle, HER AILMENTS ALL GONE NOW don't Py “I'M BULLYING BECAUSE THIS| I8 PARTLY MY AFFAIR, T0OO," viclous circle.

THE GAME OF “1 §FE, Tommy Fox had plenty of cousins of his own who lived near him in the pastu next the woods. These youngsters had many a frolic togeth- er, Sometimes they played hide-and- #egk. Bometimes they pretended to hunt one ansther, Sometimes they did this; sometimes they did that, Now, everybody knows that all games bécome tiresome if played too! much. So one evening when Tommy Fox told his cousins that he would |teach them a new game, they were delighted. ““What's it called ?"" they asked him. 1 See',” gaid Tommy Fox, “And | this {8 the way you play it: T'Il gay, ‘I see a frog jumping!’ And then I'll jump like a frog-—this way. And everybody must follow me and do just ! as I do.” “That's a dangerous game. Let's not play it!” eried one of the cousins, whom everybody else thought some- What stupid. The whole company laughed at him. And they all began to follow Tommy Fox about the pasture. All His tail was beautiful There was no denyging that. his: cousins jumped behind him—| except the one who thought the game was dangerous, When Tommy had jumped enough to suit him, he said to the cousin nearest him, “You're next.” “I see a crow flying!” eried that cousin. He leaped as high as he could into the air and flapped his legs wildly: In another moment they were all leaping and flapping, leaping and flapping—except the dull cousin »®ho was afraid to play. It was great fun. But fiying with- ‘out wings was hard work. Soon the leader stopped, saying to the cousin who was nearest him, “You're next.” While this cousin was making up his mind whether to see a flsh swim- ming or a hen scratching, somebody else spoke up. It was the cousin who thought the game was unsafe. wasn’t his turn; but he spoke up just! the same. “l see a dog running!” he cried. And off he dashed. “Come back! Come back!" all his cousins barked after him. “You must wait your turn.” But the fellow nev- er stopped. “Let him go!” sald somebody. “It's a good joke on him. He thinks we're all following him." The Fox cousins smiled at one an- other, And the one whose turn it really was cried, “I see a fish swim- ming!” But nobody paid the slightest heed to him. At that moment Tommy Fox exclaimed, “Run! Run! Here's old dog Spot!"” There was a great scattering then, The cousins went bounding away in| every direction, Some ran into. the woods. Some scnurried over the hill, Others headed for Cedar Swamp, As for Tommy, he hurried down to. the farmyard, “Old dog S8pot wlll be dbusy for an| hour, This is a good time to get n| hen,” he thought.

One of the livellest vaudeville num- bers yet to apyear on the Lyceum stage made a great hit this afternoon when the new program played for the first time, featuring Wayne and Bell's famous novelty jazz band. Led by| Mr. Wayne himself, five charming| young women play all the latest hits of the musical world, using all sorts of instruments and’ injecting lots of pep into their work. This same show will be repcated tonight and for the remainder of the week, the other four acts being Trix and Harry Speck, a; foot and a quick corne-back for each wise-crack; Taflin and Newell, a| couple of excellent male character ac- tors who, while not impersonators, play roles of different characters, even the dificult Oriental; Salet and George are another pair of clever boys with a good number and Tooley Brothers and Richards are a fine trio whose brand of entertainment is of the high- est order, Supporting this fine vaudeville bill is Milton Sills in one of his best pic- tures, “The Forgotten Law.” In Wash- ington, as elsewhere, there was actual- ly a law long forgotten, which per- mitted a man to make disposition of his children by will. In the picture, this is done and the mother is de- prived of her own offspring while a brother of her husband {s charged with their care. His mind poisoned against the mother, the foster-father condemns her as unworthy and tries to keep her from her child, but in the end he finds that she is true and united and a beautiful romance that 1s altogether pleasing develops, Mr. Sills is at his best in this picture. On the same program are the latest news releases and a laughabla comedy. “SEVEN O' HEARTS” AT PALACE. | The new bill at the Palace starting today for the balance of the week has an excellent line of attractions fea- tured.

The Jarra Brothers are good gymnasts, combining spectacular stunts with their other difficult exhi- bitlons. Gean and Fleurette are a neat musical team, playing the plano, ukulele and adding a bit of song, Pollyanna and Rogers inject some good comedy dialogue and sing a cou ple of clever character songs. Since the Rotary club has hired the theater for Friday night, when the Paulist choir will sing, there will be no evening pérformance, flthough the With this program comes Charles (Buck) Jones in ‘'Bells of San Juan:" “Forget Me Not" will be shown on next Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day.
