I discovered this fact when Katie, my maid of all work, uttered a frightened little cry at the sight of Mr. Lester coming through the door, and then stood, like a statute of fear, gazing at him. Lillian was standing at my side when the Lesters came in- With a quick, unobserved whisper to me, 'Get Mrs. Lester in your room quickly," she moved swiftly to Ka tie's side. Dicky said afterward that the muttered "Hush! Come with me," with which Lil propelled Katie to the kitchen, was regular third-act-to-the rescue stun!. I could not see what she was. doing,, however, for I was . too busy trying to obey her whispered in junction. It was a hard -task, however. Of course, I had to wait until Dicky had introduced me to both Mr- and Mrs. Lester. As I murmured the conven tional things and started to escort my guest to my room, Harry Underwood barred the way. "Nay, nay, my child, you do not pass me this way without a word or look that I may cherish," he said grandil oquently to my guest. Mrs. Lester dimpled and giggled. "You awful man. I'm not " going to talk to you at all tonight. Frank says -you are a bad man for little girls to know." "Please unsay them croo-el words," he burlesqued, and then turned to me, as he saw me trying to draw Mrs. Lester toward my room. "Aha, my proud beauty; you do not like to hear me make pretty speeches to another. I shall humble your pride yet-" He bowed mockingly, and I reached my own room with Mrs. Lester. As I crossed the threshold I drew a deep breath of relief. The danger of an unpleasant scene was over. Katie was safe In the kitchen, where, if I guaged Mrs. Underwood's powers cor rectly, she .would soon be reduced to sanity, while my guest all unsuspect ing, as I hoped, was removing her wraps- Of course, I had grasped the sig nificance of Katie's frightened cry. I remembered the night she first came to work for me, her terror at sight of Dicky, and her sudden flight. We had brought her back, and Dicky had learned that the reason was in such fear of. him wasvon account of the money, he had given her with which to pay a bill, when she was maid of all work in the bachelor apartment which Dicky and three other artists shared. She had disappeared with the money, and he had never seen her again until he met her in our apartment. The memory of her broken words of explanation of her flight came back to me. You know when you left that morning, Meester Lestaire, he was painting, too? Well, Meester Gra ham, I always good girl in old coun try and here-, I go to confession. I always keep . good. Meester Lestaire, he kiss me, say bad tings to me. He frighten me. I afraid if I stay, I no be good girl. So I run queeck away. I never dare come, back- Dot Mees ter Lestaire, he one bad man, one devil." Of course, "Lestaire" was Lester! I had thought nothing of the coin cidence of names until Katie's cry had thrown a flashlight upon the situation. I looked at Mrs. Lester, who, for tunately, had heard and seen nothing. She was a pretty creature, birdlike In her smallness and daintiness, and a certain chirpy brightness. I judged that her mentality about equaled the caliber of a sparrow, but I admitted also that the fact did not detract from her attractivenessi- N She was the sort of woman to be protected, to be cherished. She was loving, innocent, helpless. , And her husband, had amused himself by persecuting an ignorant, alien serv ant! I felt a rush of sympathy for her. I remembered Dicky's comment upon Katie's revelation. "So that was it! 'Well, that was Just about what that pup would do. That was one reason I got out of our housekeeping arrangements- He set too swift a pace for me. and that was going some in those days." Poor little Mrs. Lester! Life cer tainly could not hold much for her in the future. And tfhen she . turned from the mirror with an appealing little smile. "I'm afraid I shall be very dull to night. I am so worried about leaving the baby. She's only six months old, you'know, and I have had my mother with me ever since she was born un til two weeks ago, so I have never left her with a maid before. This girl we have appears very competent, says just can't that hectic past of hers? I decided, there must be. "Why don't you telephone now and satisfy yourself that the baby is all right, and instruct the maid to call you if she sees anything unusual about her " I -queried. . "Tell her you arc going to telephone every little while. Then she will be sure to keep on the job," cynically suggested Mrs. Underwood. "Oh, that will be just splendid," chirped Airs. Lester. "Thank you so much Mrs. Graham. Where is the telephone?" "Dicky will get the number for you," said Mrs- Underwood, ushering her into the living-room, I heard her shrill voice. " "Oh, Dicky-bird, please get Mrs. Lester's apartment for her. She wants to be sure the baby's all right." Then I heard a deeper voice. "For heaven's sake, Daisy, don't make a fool of yourself. The kid's all right." That was Mr. Lester's voice, of course. Neither the ones of Dicky nor Harry Underwood had the dis agreeable whining timber of this man's. Lillian's retort made me smile, it was so characteristic of her- "Who unlocked the door of your cage, anyway? Get back in, and if you growl again tonight there will be no supper ,for you." As she spoke she hurried back to the door of my room, which I was just leaving. She made an almost imperceptible gesture with her hand, and I obeyed the silent signal, going back into the room writh her. "I sent her to the telephone be- cause I wanted a chance to speaK to you alone," she said. "You'll have to settle Katie'. She's crying out there; says she doesn't want to wait on ta ble if 'Meester Lestairre is dere.' 1 don't know but it would be a good idea to send her to bed; say she has a toothache, or anything else conven ient. We can wait on ourselves; it will be lots more jolly, and avoid any unpleasant possibilities. I wouldn't want Daisy to suspect anything. Frank's been 17 different kinds of swine in his life but there's no use bothering her with it. She'll find it out soon enough. We all do-" "Then you know?" I asked. "About Frank persecuting Katie when she worked in the apartment? Of course, I rather suspected it at the time, but I didn't think he'd carry things far enough so the girl would have to run away for fear of him. But Dicky told me all about it -the other day, after Katie came back. Wasn't it a coincidence . that she should have applied to you for a posi tion?" "A coincidence, indeed," I replied, mechanically. I felt the old pique rising in my heart. Was there anything about our affairs that Dicky did not tell this woman?

'Are you still worrying about that baby?" Mrs. Underwood's loud voice sounded behind us. "Now, look here, Daisy, have a little common sense. You have had that maid over a year; she ,has been with your mother and you since the baby was. born; there's a telephone at her" elbow, and you are only five blocks away from home. Wasn't the child well when you left?" "Sleeping just like a kitten," the proud mother answered. "You just ought to have seen her, one little hand all cuddled up against her' face, I just couldn't bear to leave her." Over Lillion Gale's face swept a iwift spasm of pain- So quickly was it gone that I would not have noticed it had not my eyes happened to rest on her face when Mrs. Lester spoke of her baby.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Werner's troupe of trained horses will be the vaudeville feature of the program at Keeney's this week. In this great act are five educated equine3. The act was a feature of Barnum and Bailey's circus last year. Since its vaudeville debut it has been a wonderful success. There will be two other good specialties on the bill. Among the motion picture attrac tions tonight and tomorrow will be Charley Chaplin in his latest come dy, "A Night at the Show." There will also be the Edison drama, "A Child in Judgment" and other high class photo-plays. The Paramount booking for these two days in "Ready Money," a five part drama. Wednesday and Thursday Maud Al len will be seen in "The Man Who Couldn't Beat God," with Maurice Costello in the lead, will top the program. Lasky will contribute "The Clue" with Blanche Sweet on Friday and Saturday. Mr. Griffith was eight months mak ing the entire production. During that time he employed a small army of men and women to get the desired results. Over eighteen authorities were consulted to get the proper atmos phere intb the scenes in which Pres ident Abraham Lincoln appears. The great majority of these authorities agreed that as near as the time of the assassination could be set was 10:13. This calculation is based upon most authentic reports of the hour that John Wilkes Booth entered Ford's theater on the fatal night. It was a brilliant spring night In Washington, but historians record that just before the shooting the temperature fell quite a bit. This detail is covered In the picture when you note President Lincoln change his position in the box and slip a warm cape over his shoulders. Another detail In the Ford's thea ter scenes fixes definitely the facts of the actual shooting. Contrary to current opinion the president was not shot from the stage. The picture shows the action as it has authen tically been reported by a majority of the authoritative writers on the subject. The portions of Ford's theater shown in the story are exact repro ductions of the surroundings on the J night the president was assissinated. The actual distances were faithfully followed in the scene even to the twelve foot leap which Booth made from the box after firing the fatal shot. All the reproductions for thl scene were vouched for by eye wit nesses of the tragedy, who retain vivid recollections of what happened that night.

REMARKABLE CASE of Mis. HAM Declares Lydia E. Pinkham's , Vegetable Compound Saved Her Life and Sanity. Shamrock, Mo. "I feel it my duty to tell the public the condition of my health before using your medicine. I had falling, inflamma tion and congestion, female weakness, pains in both sides, backaches and bear ing down pain, was short of memory, nervous, impatient, passed sleepless nights, and had neither strength nor energy. There was always a fear and dread in my mind, I had cold, nervous, weak spells, hot flashes over my body. I had a place in my right side that was so sore that I could hardly bear the weight of my clothes. I tried medicines and doctors, but they did me little good, and I never expected to get out again. I got Lydia E.

That is what a friend of mine fre quently says afterwards when she has heard anyone make a statement which seems Improbable to her. Whenever I hear her say that, I think of a decision I made when I was a very small girl. I decided a little comrade of mine didn't tell the truth. You see she told me two things that no one could believe. One was that she had twice sat up until half-past eleven. Now the latest I had ever sat up was ten o'clock, and that only once a year, and I didn't believe any child would ever be permitted to sit up later than that. It certainly stood to reason that if my mother, whom I recognized to be rather indulgent, didn't let me sit up after ten, Rosie's mother, who was distinctly strict, would never have let her sit up until half-past eleven. I Knew It Couldn't Hate Happened. The other lie was this. Once upon a time, said Rosie, her mother had seen a man who had taken hold of an electric wire and in some way had been caught by that electricity and he couldn't let go of the wire, and it hurt him dreadfully. So much of the story I accepted, the rest I considered in credible. When another man tried to pull the first man away (according to Rosie), the electricity caught him too and he couldn't get away either, and then another man caught hold of him, and finally there was a whole string of men who couldn't let go of each other. I didn't tell Rosie that I didn't be lieve the story. We were too good friends for that. I didn't stop loving her either, but I sadly set her down in my mind as a person with a habit of taking liberties with the truth, and discounted many of her subsequent statements accordingly. Poor, misjudged Rosie! Afterwards, when my experience and knowledge of the world broadened sufficiently for me to know I had misjudged her. It was too late to tell her. Very Few People Tell Downright Lies. However, I have learned a lesson. All is not incredible that sounds so. One's experience Is just as apt to be telling the lie as one's friend. A great many people exaggerate or smooth thlnsrs off: comparatively few tell downright lies. When anyone says a thing which seems incredible to you, It may be that your experience Is too limited for you to understand It. Or It may be tKt circumstances which appear to con tradict the statements are false. Ap pearances are deceitful, and even fig ures, which should be the most exact and coldblooded things in the world, are said to lie. Don't be too quick to set your neighbor down as a liar by saying, "I don't believe It." Re member, if he is telling the truth you are a slanderer. Give him and your self the benefit of the doubt. With My Letter Friends. Question Don't you believe that most people have true love, mates and that they generally meet sooner or later, and when'they do meet, if mar riage should be the result, would not that be the happiest union ever? And don't you believe that where truo love exists, there Is scarcely a sacrifice too great for either one to make fSr the other or a fault too bad for one to overlook in the other?" Answer Personally I don't believe that there Is only one true mate for each Individual, but rather one type with which each type will be happiest As to faults, love does help a lot; but remember that some people aren't tjAfC enough even under the influence of the greatest love they are "capable of to overcome their own faults or bear patiently with the faults of others. However, I don't mean to discourage you. Don't mind me.
