The Swrprising Fact That Lillian Disclosed to Madge, Characteristically, Lillian made nr»1 comment upon Claire Foster during my story of the events which had/| happened on my journey, evidently| considering the girl as my affair ab-| solutely, She laughed heartily, lm\\'-‘ ever, at the tale of Mrs, Barker's in-| carceration of the enraged Dr. Pettit| in the root cellar. “I'd have given a fat order to have geen hig face when she let him out," she said, “Mrs, Barker must be an| able citizen, 1'd like to meet her.” “ghe's worth knowing,” 1 replied. “8he must be,” Lilllan agreed. "She, or something, certainly tamed Her-| bie's fiery spirit. He was as meek as Mary's little baa-baa when he came to see ma the other day.

Unwilling to| alarm her, I had glossed over the in- cidents in which the inquisitive taxi driver and the yashmak-veiled wom- an had figured, and had touched but lightly upon Harry Underwood's part in our taxi journey from the Barker house. But under Lillian's probing, merciless question, I found myself telling her every detail of the hap- penings which had so disturbed me ‘When I had finished, her elbows were on her knees, and her chin cuppa? in her palms, in the attitude so faif- illar to me, and I reanized that i: some way the story I haa told he presented a serious problem to her “Allen’s dope is right, she saic engimatically, at last, jumping to h¢ feet, and beginning to pace swiftly uy and down the room. “I thought hc was getting a cinema complex in hi: old age, but after the lesson Smit}h had, he wouldn’t dare lift his head again for awhile unless he was pretty sure of protection. And Grace Dra- per! Look at what she faces if the police should nab her! She's pretty sure of the ground under her feet or she wouldn't be floating around your vicinity, even with Salome's seven veils wrapped around her.’ “You think, then” I said, with what my mother-in-law calls a “gone feeling,” “that the yashmak-veiled woman in the restaurant and the gray| limousine really was Grace Draper?"”| “What Did You Mean?" ! “You're sure they weren't two sepa- rate women?" she asked sharply. “No, 1 saw the same woman in both places,” I returned. “I noticed little things about her dress which could not have heen duplicated.” “Then unless that limousine trail- ing you was all in your imagination -—and I've never noticed symptoms of lunacy i you—the lady was our dear old friend,” she replied with convie- tion. “And it behooves you to be strictly on your guard. Harry gave you some mighty good advice. Poor old Harry ! Fine finish for a man of his calibre, a glorified stool-pigeon in a mob like that But it's a good thing for you he's there, with two such jungle creatures as Smith and Grace Draper roaming around. He'd kill and be killed before he'd permit you to be harmed.” Her manner wi detached in speaking of the man who had seen her husband--and to whom she is still legally tied-—as if he were but a cas- val acquaintance. But I recognized the bitter note in her voice, knew that despite the absence in her heart of anything like love for him, vyet there were memories connected with him to which she was not exactly in- different. To divert her attention I put the first question which came in- to my mind. WONAN S0 BLUE SHE_CRIED Because of Il Health—Tells How She Found Relief by Taking Lydia E.

Given first a crashing plot, full of the big scenes that lead logically, and with the utmost of suspense, up to the big climax, the director has made the most of his material. The big rec- ord breaking thrill is the rescue of an entire countryside from the fury of the flames as the forest fire races tow- ard the surrounded town. It is des- tined to be one of the finest things ever recorded on the screen, Great stretches of burning forest, whole towns in flames, hundreds of men, women and children running franti- cally to cover. The little telegraph of- fice is besieged with shouting, cursing, praying men, demanding an engine to take the trapped ones to safety. But there is not an engine on the division, Then one young man appears—a hu- man derelict—who rolls the huge offi- very atractive by placing various red, green and yellow fillings between the slices of bread.

Starting Thursday the entire bill changes and brings three star attractions. For the second time within a short period, Jack Holt, Paramount. star, appears in an adaptation of a pop- ular Peter B. Kyne story—‘Making a Man,” which will be on view at the Palace theater Thursday, Friday and Saturday. “Making a Man" is the story of a wealthy young snob, a tyrant among his employes and neighbors alike, who puts one straw too many on the camel’s back, so to speak. His life threatened, he escapes to New York. There he loses the little money and clothing he took in his hurried flight, and finds himself unable to draw on his credit. Broke, hungry and tired, he meets on a park bench “Shorty” McCabe, a down-and-outer. From Shorty the man Winsby, played by Mr. Holt, learns the definition of a real man. L Another big attraction is Pearl White, who will be seen in the first chapter of her new serial, “Plunder."” 1t is a romantic drama of every day life and Miss White does many thrill- ing stunts in each episode. The Keith vaudeville bill will have four head- line acts featuring the De Vries Troupe, four of the cleverest pen- formers now touring the circuit. The other acts will offer high class en- tertainment. Mischa Elman.
