MY MARRIAGE PROB Adele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE The Mirrored Hope That Flitted Before Madge's Fyes "Not here now !" I echoed faintly. “When will he be here?" George, the chauffeur, to whom in desperation I had just entrusted the scarab given me by Harry Under- wood, with the request that he give it to the Big Tangerine, shuffled his feet uneaslly, His loyalty to the gang with which he was assoclated was patently warring with the involun- tary pity he feit for my predicament. “T can't just say, Miss,” he sald at last and he spoke furtively, out of the side of his mouth, so that no one out- side the room could possibly hear him, 1 guessed that his fear of Grace Dra- per or her satellite, Linda, was as ac- tive as my own. “The Big Tangerine, he comes and he goes, nobody knows when. He hasn't been here for sev- eral days now, so I guess he's about due again. And I'll see him as soon as he comes in, I can promise you that."” I managed to get out a feeble “thank you,” and I felt myself sway- ing with the effort to stand upright. I had counted more than I knew upon the mysterious and evidently powerful member of the gang called the Big Tangerine, with whom Harry Under- wood had claimed close association. To find him absent from the great house in which 1 found myself a prisoner, to know. that the only link I had with rescue was the doubtful and easily-quelled sympathy of this chauffeur—these were blows indeed to hope. “Pretend to Be Asleep.” George looked at me uneasily. “Better lie down,” he advised, “so! she won't suspect anything.” I obeyed him, both because his ad- vice was sound, and because my knees refused to support me any longer. I tottered to the couch near the fireplace, and threw myself upon it, shivering in spite of the warmth of the room. A brilliant Indian blanket lay across the couch, and after a few seconds I managed to wrap myself in it. George started toward me ir- resolutely. “I guess nobody'd object if I fixed up the fire,” he said, still in the sub- dued monotone he had used before. “But you mustn’t talk to me. tend to be aslecp.” “Thank you,” I whispered. cold.” “I'm so Pre- LEMS the fact in my mental work basket, Wwith the wild hope that I might some- how turn it to account, and spoke to her conciliatingly, “May I bathe my face'and hands before I eat?” I asked meekly. “8ure thing," she responded. “Just a second till I get this door locked. 8o long, George.” “So long," the chauffeur replied, and then the turning of the key sounded knell-llke to my ears, and Linda, slipping the key into her bodice, crossed the room and swung open the door to an immaculate and luxurious little bathroom with gleam- ing tiles and silvered fittings, “You'll have to stand me with you, though,” she said, standing in the doorway with arms a-kimbo, “Gracle's orders are never to leave you alone a second. Say, you must be a smart one, if Gracie's afraid you'll put one| ever on her,” | I made her no answer, though the knowledge that I' was to have no more privacy than a prisoner con- demned to death would have dis-| tressed me Immeasurably at any other time. But all my faculties were concentrated on the mirror above the hand-basin. Opposite it was a door with a tran-| som above it, the transom standing slightly ajar. And across the surface of the mirror had fitted like a breath the reflection of a figure I knew, | THE TALE OF | GRANDMA | MR. CROW NEEDS A PEN.

And now,” she went on, ‘‘who shall we get to write this complaint?” She gooked | at the group about her—hens, tur-| keys, geese. And there wasn't one that spoke up and said, “I'll write it.” Not one of them could write, | “You must get old Mr. Crow,” said | Jimmy Rabbit at last. *“They say he| can write,” | ‘Well, Jolly Robin flew all the way | to the cornfleld, where he found Mr. Crow.

In “Fury,” which opens Monday, Richard Barthelmess is most happily cast and playing opposite demure Dorothy Gish, is at his best. Tyrone Powers is also in the cast, being the rough, burly old sea captain. A roll- ing sea, a slippery deck and two glants fighting with grim fury for each other's death. This was the scene that greeted the young = boy sailor, played by Barthelmess, as he cowered on the deck, yet he forgot this fear when he saw the stronger man reach for a knife to slay his weaker opponent. The picture abounds in interesting scenes, not the least of which is the famous Lime- house district of London. Thursday starts “The Crossroads of New York,” a picture, which among other things affords the spectator a’ real view of the famous New York stock exchange. It is'a six réel pro,. duction by Mack Sennett and tells of. the adventures of a country boy in the great metropolis.

Hollywood, March 31.—Breaking into the movies isn't done with one resounding smash. It's a suecession of bumps and thumps. My budding ‘“career,” consisting now of comedy ‘“background” and a Spanish dance, rose after another in- terval to the wobby heights of a cam- el's back in a film circus put on by the Jackie Coogan company for “Tby Tyler.” § .-Now one of my pet aversions was eamels.
