The Plans Mrs. Ticer Made and the News Jerry Brought ‘When Gabriel blows his last trum- pet Mrs. Ticer may be disturbed, but| I doubt it. I am very sure that noth- ing less than the final bugle could upset her placidity. In any emergency she is a tower of strength, and she acts quickly and effectually. Yet she never appears to hurry. Intuition told me that she must be a bit uneasy concerning the urgent whistled summons for Jerry from his father, but having dispatched her son on his errand, she, to all ap- pearances, dismissed every thought of her family from her mind, and gave Jer attention entirely to us, “Come right in,” she urged hos- pitably. “I set the tea-kettle on not five minutes ago, and I'll have a cup of tea and some of those fresh nut cakes in no time.” 1 can think of nothing more tempting,” I replied sincerely. “But, truly, we haven't a spare second. We have something very serlous on hand. | You remember Mrs. Durkee?" “Yes, yes,” she replied with the quaint little mannerism so familiar to me. “I do hope nothing has hap- pened to her, she was such a dear little woman.” _“Nothing as yet,” I answered, and then in as few words as possible 1 told her of the probability that Dr.| Edwin Braithwaite would come east to operate upon Mrs. Durkee, of the need of Katherine for her uniforms, and of Mother Graham's projected | wild orgy of housecleaning before the| arrival of her daughter and her lllus- | trious son-in-law."” “I'm so sorry ahout Mrs. Durkee,"” Mrs. Ticer commented, when 1 had finished. “But, if Dr. Braithwaite is to operate, no doubt everything will be all right. But your mother-in- law, poor old lady, I suppose she's fit to be tied, isn't she? It's too bad Celia is away. Let me think ! Madge Marvels At Mrs. Ticer Bhe stared at the wall, ¢ erine and I waited docilely, Exper- dence with Mrs. Ticer had taught us that she would evolve something practical from her meditation, the present moment was to prove no exception to the rute, for it was gcarcely a minute before our hostess spoke briskly. " “You won't need those before tomorrow night, She addressed Katherine, promptly assured her that another day's leeway could be given *You'd better not take a chanc Mrs. Ticer returned. “I ‘can get 'em done tomorrow easy, but I won't start *em today. They ought to dry outsid in the sun, tomorrow and get them out. can iron 'em tomorrow night after eeme home from your house.' I looked at her ample figure, fined in the old-fashioned tight set, without wh no one ever her at work or at v, reflected that she is a woman past middle- -age, and marvelled—as I had done many tim before—at the energy and capacity “ for accomplishing work which she | possesses. Besides doing her heavy work, she was planning to ciean house for Mother Graham and laun- der Katherine's uniforms before ans after her other arduous hours of Jlbor. g will you?" Then I 1 con o sees own “You Don't Mean. “Your house doesn't need cleaning | Any more than a cat needs two tatls,” ‘she announced at last “1 never ecould work very long with Katle in a ‘kitchen—she's too uppish, but no- "~ body’'s ever heard me cay she doesn't| keep a house as clean as they make | ‘em. “But the way your mother-in-law | will turn the house upside down will keep'us all hustling to get it done in ithe time ‘she wants,” Mrs. Ticer L smiled induigently, and then tinued. “As long as Celia can't here, 1 guess we'd better the 'gIrl across the road come over, She's ‘pretty young, only about 15, hut she's awful good help—her mother's quite smart for a foreigner.” The prejudice of over two centuries ©of Long Island ancestry spoke then, buf I did not pay it my usual amused mental tribute. My attention had been arrested by that all-too-familiar phrase, “across the road.” Only too vivid was the N0 OPERATION FOR HER be have remem- '“' Took Lydia E.

"This s another fam- fly, a very different kind. Haasn't your mother-in-law told you?" I do not think she heard my nega- tive, for Jerry came tearing round the corner of the house in wild excite- ment, “Maw, Kin you fix some coffee and | ecggs or something in a hurry?

Any minute a great mass of frozen matter may come tumbling down the mountain side and destroy the village and its inhabitants, Such is the precarious position of the village of La Paix in the Para- mount picture, “The Snow Bride,” starring Alice Brady and coming to the Palace theater for a run of three days on Monday. By some miracle of Providence this little town has been spared for over a'century from de- struction by the glacial torrents of the North country, but as a climax to this thrilling picture, the entire moun- tain side is brought down in a storm that lasts for days. When it is over the inhabitants emerge from the near- by woods where they have taken shelter to find that La Palx {5 no more. Not a thing lives under that blanket of snow. There are two persons who are made happy by this, however. They are Annette Leroux and Andre Porel, the two leading characters of “The Snow Bride,” portrayed by Alice Brady and Maurice B.

Mi.lton Sills and Betty Blythe in Lyceum Films Tomorrow night the Lyceum will give its patrons a double feature bill which will also include one of the latest comedy releases, a, travelogue and the popular news reels. One of the feature dramas will be a gripping one, savoring of society life; the other will feature Gladys Walton in a ro- mance of spooks and love entitled “A Dangerous Game.” This picture is & mysterious one with hands in the darkness, strange tappings on tables, the weird clanking of tambourine un. touched by human hands, mysterious writing on slates and all the rest— yet these queer doings have no terror to the little country girl who plays the leading part. It is a mystro-ro- mance of the first water and the un- usual love tangle ls straightened out only' by the most dexterious work- ings of the writer's imagination. Monday the opener will me the lat- | est reel in “Fighting Blood,” support- |ed by news reels and comedies, after which Miiton S8ills and Carmel Myers will be starred in “The Last Hour,” | said by critics to equal “The Miracle | Man.” It is a drama that will tug at the heart strings, thrills that will | make the audience hold its breath, a |love story that will charm and sus- pense that will keep the onlookers guessing until the last minute.
