Miss Cargill asked, and at my nod, introduced the others rapidly. “Mr. Rickett, Mr. Smythe.” 8he harely waited for their acknowl- edgment before speaking agatn. “Please believe that we are not here of our own choice,” [she said earnest- 1y, and there was a ring of sincerity in her pleasant voica. “But we needs mist respond when our editors drive, and we are sent ta ask vou if there is anything you wish to correct or| eomment upon in this article which appeared this morning.” ‘With a deft movement she held out to me the hatefi§ acoount of Dicky's escapada. Tt took all the will power I posessed to take it from her non- chalantly and glance at it as if re- s freshing my memory. “Oh, yes! 1 saw this”” 1 said Brightly with an amused little smile. “Cleverely written, isn't 1t?" ‘Into the eyes of both Miss Cagril and Mr. Rickett there flashed a look which T had seen in Lillian’s when , soms sudden difficuity confronted her.

This says that Miss Foster has not been seen by the regorters, N and we are anxious to kno f she perhaps was injured by the accident.” “YWhat Do You Intend to Do?"

I am going up there on the afternoon train." “Ah !" Young Mr. Smythe's ex- clamation was sibilant. “And what] do you intend to do when vou get there? Do you intend to file suit for divoree?” N Mr. Rickett was not quite quick enough with the surreptitious kick he gave his colleague, although his in- tentions undoubtedly were good, and young ‘Mr. Smythe, though he Winced perceptfhly was game enough to fgnore the Kick, as his ferret eyes fixed themselves on me. “Divorce?”’ I threw up my head haughtily, regisiering intense aston- ixhment and sager as Lillan had coached me. ‘“‘Surely you do not mean that question seriously.” “Junor's_“Find" “Will you please remember,” Mr, Rickeft put in softly, ‘“that neither Migs Cargill nor T has asked it?" 1'turned to him with a grateful, lieved smile, “Thank you,” I said, “and for that reason 1 will give you an answer to your unspgken question. 1 have not the slightest intention of suing for divorce, Indeed, bringing that word into an Incident which is harmless comedy, is the height of absurdity.” “Your attitude, then,” Miss Cargill begdw,. but the unsquelchable Mr. 8riythe interrupted her. “You say,” he interjected explok- ively, “that Miss Foster is a dear friend of yours. Surely you have a photograph of her which yiu will let us have?" “No I haven't.” I forced my voice to a note of regret. “She—'" my voice trailed off in a panic as my eyes caught the doorway. “Oh!

Atter 19 years of married life, tedium had Dbecome intolarable for JOHN BARRETT, muccassful architect. He Delieved that his wife, ANITA, neither loved him nor could give him the sympathy and appreeiation which ho required. He decided to start lite anew with MYRA DEAN, a woman of the world. Myra objects to figuring in a divorcé case, but Barrett goes to REX WARREN, a lawyer and an old friend of Anita and of himself. The two men quarrel when Barrett Sug- ‘gests that Warren, because of former Jove for Anita, should help him to se- oura his treedom. | GO ON WITH THE STORY. Anita sank into a chair, slowly, weighed down by increasing compli- eation. How cruel life could be! It was not bad enough that this wretched | wfing must punish the children, John and herself, but here was Rex Warren in it too—her girthood friend, the old-time sweetheart who wasn tl # quite a sweetheart because circum- stances had separated them, and now her adviser, her rock and stay. ... A tap at the door startled her. Rex. “1 eame back to tell you not to do the very thing I find you doing. Anita -1 didn't say what T did to add to| your problems, but to help you with| them. 1 am your friend. Perhaps T, shouldn’t have said the rest of it. TLet| it be the least of your considerations. We're confronted with the immediate present and future. 1f Barrett should force the issue publicly—give or stage grounds for” divorece—what do you want me to do?" “Will he do that?" “I think so. He wants to hrln;:{ to a crisis.” ‘m'“f‘:; 1 can'e bear to think of it Can't we wait until he—does some- thing—takes some definite step- “You know how he feels, Ani Isn't that enough for you? or Nh'lll' he play whatever tune he wants, and | |from fire and rub through a to ask what precisely is your next step 7" Anita hid her face in her hands, feeling like a person sinking in the sea, too numb to grasp a life rope. Warren presently hung up the re- ceiver. “He is leaving tomorrow—for Ku- rope, or some other place, I couldn't catch just what he said. He'll be gone long enough to establish deser- tion.” Slowly Anita looked up, lifted her chin, straightened herself, rose. She seemed utterly changed and deadly; | calm, “So he is going,” she said slowly, “with Myra Dean, to the DBalkans. Yes, T know she is going tomorrow; you'll find it in the Times-Herald. And Rex, you will have to help me. There| is no going back now.” ! & | (To Be (nntlnned). ¥ (Copyrlght 1922, NEA Service), BY BERTHA T.

The fish he didn't catech were always far bigger than any he ever landed. And that's a queer thing about fishing. Al- most any fisherman will tell you so. Now, Tommy I'ox liked to hunt. And there was this difference between him and Johnnie Green, Lost fish looked big to Johnnie; Lost game looked small to Tommy. IPor instance: Tommy Fox spied Plumb Mr. Grouse sitting on a log, “My! He's the biggest: Grouse 1 ever say!" he exclaimed under his breath, And he began to creep up bhehind Mr, | Grouse. Catching sight of Tommy out of the | corner of his eye, Mr. Grouse went up | with a rush and ab om, as his strong wings beat the air. He perched him- self in a tree near-by. And Tommy Fox walked beneath it and stared up at him. “You're only a little fellow,” Tom~ my IFox called to him. Mr. Grouse didn't even glance down. However, he called to al friend of his in a neighboring tree: “Did you notice a little yellowish-red- dish dog around here? There was one prowling about, only a moment ago. But he's so small he's hard to see."” Now, Tommy Fox knew welll enough that Mr. Grouse meant him. He didn't &0 mych mind being called ! small. DBut to be mistaken for a dog! Ah! That was eénough to dis- please anyhody. “I'm not a dog,” he barked .in an angry tone, “Blegs me!” éxclaimed” Mr. Grouse, “That little dog hasn't gone. Did you, hear his little bark?" “T dare you to come down here!” Tommy Fox yelled at Mr. Grouse. Safe, on his branch, Mr. Grouse cocked’ his head on one side and stared at Tommy. “Why, it's a Puppy!” he ealled to his friend And that made Tommy Fox fur- fous. It was all well enough for his own father to call him a Puppy now and then. But for a stranger like M¥. Grouse to call him by that name was more than annoving. All this happened on the very edge | of the woods. Down in the pastiire Tommy Fox's mother heard his bark- ing and hurried up to see what was wrong. “‘Here's the little Puppy’'s mother, come to get him and take him home Mr. Grouse told his friend. “What are you doing here? Fox aslied her son. “Don’t you know | that you could wait a year for Mr. Grouse come down; and he wouldn't chme. “I didn't Have to wait a vear for him to go up,” Tommy remarked. Mrs. Fox only grunted. “De you think, 11 be bigger in a year, Mother?" my inquired. ‘ “He'll never be any bigger,” she re- plied, “He's an old bird. And he's| fat as butter 'now. Yes! He's terribly overweight this fall.” - “I'm not!" eried Mr. Grouse hotly. “I'm not big at all. T'm eating light- | ly. And I'm taking regular exercise. | Whenever anybody comes along 1 fly into this tree. When they leave I fly | down again. And if that's not regu- | lar, I'd like to know what is!" “We won't quarrel ahout that,” said | Mrs. Fox with dignity. ‘‘Come!" she| ordered her son. “Never quarrel with folks ‘that get away from you. It's bad manners to quarred. You ought| to apologize to this person.” | “‘Person!” shrieked Mr. Grouse. | “Person! I'll have you know I'm a gentleman.” “Really?” said Mrs. Fox in a mild voice. “I'd never have guessed it."

From our ancestors we have inherited a something which is a, cross between open inquisitiveness and morbid curi- osity and whi¢h arouses our interest when a mystery is brought to our at- tention, i Full play is given the imagination when you sit on the outer side of the footlights and watch the “story of “The Bat” unfolded. Perhaps one in a hundred guesses the correct solution to the mystery. The cast in the production at Par- sons' theater handles the dramatic moments which abound throughout the play very well. Mabel Wright, in the character of ‘‘Miss Cornelia Van Gorder,” and Joseph Rawley as “Dr, Wells,” deserve special mention. An old friend of New Britain theater- goers steps into view when “Richard Fleming"” appears. “Fleming" is none | other than Wrylle Birch, a favorite in this city in the days of the Alfred Cross Stock company. Mr. Birch's work in “The Bat" is in keeping with his past fine record. The play will be repeuted tonight, tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night. “OLD HOMESTEAD"” AT PALACE.| The Palace management announc- es that at the request of many pa- trons who.wanted to see the big pro- duction of “The Old Homestead”, which had a very successful run the! first four days this week, the photos play wil be repdated at the matinee performanee only on Saturday. In offering this attraction again on 8at- urday everyone who did not get a chance to see it owing to the vast crowds at the theater every day should take this opportunity to see this famous old classic in photoplay form. , The Keith vaudevillé bill now plnymfi has four acts. The headliner is “The Seven O'Hearts,” a snappy song and dance revue with a big cast headed by Barnéy Grahm and assist- éd by six girls, Smith and Nash offer a very good singing and talking act with a good line of songs and patter; Ruth Davis {8 one of the best singing comediennes on the Keith circuit and enjoyed at both shows yesterday, Zomatér and 8mith were well received with their; bar offering. The photoplay feature | presents Whitman Bennett's new mas- terpiece “‘Salvation Nell,” a story of a man's downfall and his rise by the |love of a Salvation Army lassie, ing will be James Oliver Curwood’s “The Golden Suare,” a story of the Northwest Mounted, Police with Tewis Stone and Wallace Beery in strong ) ST.

James Crowley, chairman of the entertainment committee, has includ-| ed as an interesting feature of this evening’s performance the St. John's { Juvenile minstrels directed by James V.

CONTINUOUS SHOW SAT. AT FOX'S There will be no vaudeville and pie- ture show at Fox's tonight as the Ro- tary“club has rented the theater to present the Paulist chofr. However, | tomorrow afternoon and evening a| very fine bill will be presented. i Acrobatic stunts are admittedly the most difficult to put across to any| audience, but the Jarre Brothars, one of' Fox's features, are breaking all records for applause. Jean and Fleu- rette, two girls with a plano and two unuleles, are really clewer. Their singing of “Mighty Lak a Rose" is/ unusually fine. Three black faced comedians, billed as ‘“three dark spots,” are good, and Pollyanna and! Rogers are experts with the violin! and accordion. The current picture is Charles (Buck) Jones in “Bell# of San Juan.” Jones has the dashing role of a young westerner who is elected Sheriff to succeed his father, who was murder- ed. His vow of vengeance makes a gripping story; while a love theme adds to the romamtic features of the play. Beginning Monday, ‘Forget Me Not” will hold the screen for three days, while the last half of the wel brings Tom Mix in a real Mix thrill- er, “Arabia." Sunday night's show consists of John Gilbert in “‘Calvert's Valley” and Alice Calhoun in ""Closed Doors.” DONALD B. MacMILLAN. In July, 1921, Ponald B. MacMil- lan sailed from WiScasset, Maine, on his seventh voyage to the Arctic. He received his initiation into ' Arctic work while acting as assistant to Ad- miral Peary at the time of the latter's stcecessful expedition to the Pole in 1908-190r and the lure of the North portunity was presented. This latest expedition had for fits object the exploration of unknown Baffin Land which, on ‘its western side, had the longest unexplored coast Itne in the world: Captain MacMillan, with his six companions, returned in Heptember, 1922, with a wonderful story of ad- venture and accomplishment., There were three narrow.escapes from de- styuction owing to shoal water and an unexpected amount of drift ice.
