Katie and Jim Took Il-[h Rather Strong Advice.

Katie still was imbued | with so much of the superstition, and ancient traditions of woman's subservience, Brought with her from her birthplace across the seas, that she would always be ready to vield! obedience to the most masterful per- son near her. It was highly desir- able that her husovand should be that person. But the girl had also gleaned in her new environment, many ideas of | economic and conjugal equality, as| jumbled and ludicrous as the distort-| ed specimens of American slang with which she garnished her speech, Would they make themselves felt in her reaction to this touch of the spur from Lillian? And then there came to my ears a | sound I had not heard for many days —a distinct giggle from Katie. | True it held a note of liysteria, but| there was also in it the joyous non- chalance with which Katie sheds worry when she is sure that someone else has assumed her burdens. | With Jim back, and the assurances of safety from Joe which Lillian and | 1 had voiced, Katie was her old]| volatile care-free self ain. And to my great relief, T saw that she w too intoxicated with happiness to res ognize the serious intent behind Lil- lian's warning. Jim could deal with her later on that score without the handicap of the girl's resentment against Lillian's advice. “I'm Your Man" ““Maybe you better take beeg steeck to me, Jeem,” she said coquettishly, and T saw her hand smooth the tumbled hair back from his forehead. Jim did not smile—he is neither so nimblewitted nor so ephemeral in his emotions as Katie—but he clasped her work-hardened hand in his, and held it to his cheek with an awkward tenderness which made my eyes moist as I turned toward Lillian in time to catch her vehement nod of the head toward the door. I seized the cue, and turned back to the absorbed pair by the table, “You won't need us any more, Katie," I said off-handedly. “Be sure! you make Jim finish his supper.” “I feex heem eef he don't,” Katie rejoined gayly with another coquettish o u W 1 th to | | G L w and teld Lillian the story of the days w (SLEEPY =TIME TALES the water as before. as Grandma Goose had orYered. he cried, so that all the geese who | ave reams to tell ydu" “Which 1 shall pass to a better orld if T don't hear,” she answered opened my room door and shered her in, “You! the lucky mother,” she rent of Junior's erib before turning p the light, “to have a child talking on't wake up.' “A% long as the light doesn't ghine t his cyes, he's safe,”” T returnea, hen 1 drew up a chair opposite me, hick had elapsed since 1 had gone > Dicky's aid, [y — THE TALE OF GRANDMA| | THE GENERAL RETREATS. | General Gander told Grandma oose that he wouldn't come out of until he had finished his wim. “We'll see ahbout that!" she hissed she sywam straight towards him.

There is no more passing before my door: nothing as- safls my ears except the sound of the pounding wheels underneath the car which keeps saying, “The miles are lengthening between you—the miles are lengthening between you— the miles are lengthening between you." The monotony of the refrain is maddening, even if the fact were not breaking my Theart—my sad heart, which keeps trying to bridge those weary miles that are stretch- ing out further and further from me to you. Hearts, you know, are never world- Iy, never practical. They do 'not reason, they only feel—and that is why perhaps they are bruised and hurt so often. Tonight my’ heart is crving out to that part of my brain we humans call roason, that it has basely per- suaded me to give up that which T know now makes existence life, for the sake of following out some silly convention of society. I want you so lover mine, T want you so. Everything in the world sinks into nothingness beside the want of vou. But my reason insists that wed- dings must b> prepared for, just as| births and burials must he given| thought and preparation. Life is not all feelings and impulse. In fact I am afraid we will find more respon- sibility and duty in it than romance and dreams. Although I hate it tonight, T know more than ever be- | fore that convention after all is but making into a universal rule the du- ties imposed on mankind by neces- sity and convenience.

How I wish I cculd close my ears to what those wheels are saving! You will not forget anything about me, will you John? You will re- member just how my mouth looked when you bent over me to kiss me?

For even if you do the earli- est T can hear from you will be two ays from now, after I have been Lome at least 12 hours. But wheth- er you are writing or mot lover mine, vou cannot take from me this sad happiness—yes, John, there s such a thing as sad happiness, but only lovers know it—of sitting here and writing to you.

It is a laugh from start to finish, I'rank Murray and Levene are the leading comedians and go at top speed throughout, Madeline Buckley, formerly wth Hoyt's, takes the prima donna role and among her best song selections are the Sweet- heart song from Maytime and *An Old Fashioned Garden.” The cos- tumes worn by the chorus gnd prinei- ples are bleasing and there are sev- eral changes. The program will be changed on Thursday, the cbmpany oftering “School Days” or "“Out West Killing Indians.” Today's picture presents Herbert Rawlinson in “Confidénce,” a likable small town drama in which the hero is a timid young man who lacks con- fidénce in himself until,"through cir- cumstances over which he has no control, he is mistaken for somebody else and acquires confidence in living up to that reputation. 2 The picture program for the last half of the week brings “Hoot" Gib- son in “The Galloping Kid. Sherfock Holmes—Fox's Imagine a great picture which viv- idly portrays miles of forest fire, burning villages, heroic deeds of res- cue work, a man driving a giant loco- motive through a burning fire; then woven in around these high parts a theme of love, a series of incidents that are vitally human, picturing the actions of village gossips and half wits, vagazonds, villainy and red- blooded fights and that's a fair hint of what may be expected in “The Ninety and Nine” which opens at Fox's on Thursday. A four act vaude- ville bill accompanies the picture. Tonight and tomorrow the renown- ed John Barrymore in the part of the great detective in *“Sherlock Holmes" is the photodrama drawing card at I'ox’s, while the vaudeville is another feature.
