The Surprise That Greeted Madge in the Parlor “I told you so !" Mother Graham's wvoice rang out triumphantly as the doorbell pealed. ‘l knew those caf.- tle across the road “wouldn’t let you eat your dinner in peace. Where are you going?” as 1 rose precipitately. #Can't Katie answer the door when she finishes serving the dessert? They ean wait & minute or two.” “I'm afraid they'll ring again,” 1 flung back over my shoulder as 1 dashed into the hall. "I don't want them to wake Junior. “It's the Officers.” “To think I never though of tha My mother-in-law's astonished ejacu- latlon came to me just as 1 swung the hall door open. The young troop- er stood just outside the door in an aplogetic attitude, “I'm sorty to disturb you, Ma'am,” he said, "but the Federal officer’s come, and I've got to leave right away. Could you come over long enough to tell him what they have done down to the village about the woman? He hasn't been down there yet. You see, this man we're chasing is our business, the Feds ain't got nothing to do with him, but this still is theirs, and we havent’ anything to do with it as soon as they get here.” “T'll wait for you,” he offered gal- | lantly, and taking my coat from its | hook, 1 went to the dining room for | a word of explanation before rejoin- ing him. “F'Il be back in a few minutes,” I “Be sure to keep my dessert for “Why can't they wait?" my moth- er-in-law snapped. I put up a warning hand. “It's the officers,’” I whispered sig- nificantly, and was rewarded by see- ing a quick change in my mother-in- law's face. “OH !" she said importamtly. that case, of course—" I made a hasty exit, not daring to labk at Katherine. 1 had no desire to hdve my Mother-in-law suspect how {rresistibly laughable as well as lov- able was her reaction to any sug- gestion of melodrama. The young trooper held his flash- light to light our path and talked volubly every step of the way over to the house across the road. By the time we reached the door I had learned that his “buddy” was even npw listening to Jim's report of the fugitive bootlegger’s flight, and that a8 soon, as he had brought me to the Federal officer, he and his “buddy” were to take up the trail and press on after the fleeing criminal. 1 felt like a traitor to law and or- der for holding my tongue, but T reasoned speciously that I had no of- figial connection with the case, no re- sponsibility, and that nothing could be gained by my revealing the little T knew. I had cnough experience of Harry Underwood's resourcefulness to be sure that even with any aid my revelation of his complicity might give the troopers, there was no possible chance of their finding him. As we entered the door, the young trooper lowered his voice. ‘‘Say, excuse me, but what's your name?” he asked, and when I had told him, he accosted a man standing in the kitchen with a hastily mum- bled: “Meet Mis' Graham, Federal Officer Farrell.” Atter that, with no further words save a '‘So long, folks,” he gathered up his belongings and went out into the yard, from which a few seconds later came the sounds made by the hoofs of a galloping horse. Officer Farrel was a dark, stocky, gerious-looking man of perhaps forty years, as great a contrast to the rat- tle-brained young trooper as could well be imagined. He used but few words in questioning me concerning the release of the woman who sat sul- lenly staring at him, but those few were so well chosen, so directly to | the point, that aimost at once he was in possession of all the facts I had to give him. He stood thoughtfully looking into space for a long minute efter I had finished, and then threw up his head with decision. A Startling Recognition “There's no use bothering you with the responsibility for her,”” he said at last, much to my relief. “I fancy “In she'll not run away as long as her Ax lernnears Sty of burasmont) Prruats Lyrmees KLA Svice Eworits pmum ™ — o 1023 husband is safely in jail." “8he is fairly well handicapped,” I answered, nodding toward the it tle children clinging to their mother or huddled asleep on the comfortless chairs, “Exactly,”” he said, "So I'm go- ing to leave her here as soon as the car comes to take away this mess," he indicated the still and mash with a look of disgust! “Tf you have any influence over her or can make her understand,. tell her she is not to'go afvay from here or she will go back to Jail"” “‘Won't you come in here while you talk to my mother?” The invitation came from Mamie, who was holding open the door of the other room, and at an assenting nod from the officer, I followed the girl and her mother into what was evidently the best room of the house, She held a lamp in her hand, and its light fell upon a gaudily framed photograph the sight of which staptled me, For if I was not mis- taken, the features of the woman looking out from the photograph were those of my apartment neighbor in New York, Mfs. “Petey” Marks. Gossip’s Corner Short Coats The first showing of furs feature the short fur coat that gained such popularity this season. S8quirrel, dyed muskrat and caracul are mosat fre- quently seen. Quill Trimmings Stiff quills arranged in the back to give the effect of airplane propellers are seen on the newest hats. There is a tendency this fall to piace the trimming directly in the ba,ck or di- rectly in the front. Aummn Frock One of the newest styles for au- tumn is seen in a coal frock with long unbroken lines from shoulder to hem, and & flaring side godet introduced aL‘ the low waistline. Fancy Veil One of the newest trimmings sug- gested for the large hat is a wide meshed vell out in tiny ruffles lace. of Valenciennes Embroidered Pockets If you want a distinctive froek of silk or serge, have it cut on the fa- miliar chemise line and trim it with two large pockets embroidered bright colored wools.

Ballroom SATURDAY, AUG. —Concert ATES i llll AGNES AYRES AT PALACE. A delightful romantic comedy- drama is the Paramount picture, “Tle Heart Raider,” starring Agnes Ayres, which opened at the Palace theater last night. The story is replgte with thrills and has a unique climax, + Agnes Ayres, as Muriel Gray, a reg- ular girl, Is afforded ample opportuni- tics for the display of her talents as 4 dramatic actress and comedienne. She is ably suporpted by Mahlon Hamilton in the leading man's role and a cast ranking with the fimest. It includes, Chartes Ruggles, Frazer Coulter, Marfe Burke and Charles Riegal. “Wesley Ruggles, who made “Mr. Billings ‘Spend His Dime," was the director. The theme of the picture is the meeting of Muriel and the ‘right man,” who' in this case happens be a bachelor, who shrinks at the bold advances of the girl. But, as the pic- ture progresses, he undergoes a change, hence the unusual ending. “The Heart Raider” is a picture that no admirer of Miss Ayres can afford to miss. It is a real treat. The vaudeville bill has four splen- did acts with DuBall and McKenzis in a very clever dancing offering Em- ma Stevens offers a pleasing singing act; Britt and Clifford are a pair of blackface comedians who are very entertaining, and Oscar Martin & Co. close the bill with an excellent nov- elty surprise.
