" r She whipped out the tiny notebook, without which she never goes any where I have accused her of taking it to bed with her and poising- her pencil above it spoke quickly, de cisively. "With your memory we don't need the checkbook if you've once looked it over. New tell me the names of the people to whom he save checks, the amounts and purposes, as far as yuo know." "I won't be able to do it so com pletely," I protested, "because I didn't expect to memorize them when I looked at them, and therefore did not concentrate upon them. But I can give you the most important, ones I am sure." "Al right. Go to it," Lillian re torted impatiently, and for tho next quarter of an hour I recited names, approximate dates and amounts of the check stubs I remembered seeing, while Lillian jotted them down. At my first mention of the name "E. Stern," to whom Dicky had check ed out so much money, she raised her head quickly, while her pencil for a moment remained inactive. I was ; sure that there was something about the name that she recognized, but the i next moment her pencil was lowered again, and she was saying with an assumption of misunderstanding that seemed to me to be a trifle too obvious. Lillian's One Demand. "B. Stearns, did you say? S-t-e-a-r-n-s?" "No, B. Stern, S-t-e-r-n." "How stupid of me! Is there any address?" "Only New York City." "H-m!" she commented. "All right. Go on." "I might as well tell you now, Lil lian," I said, "that there are any num ber of checks to this same person, and that they're the only ones which have no notation as to the reason for their issuance." She laid down her notebook ab ruptly. "The colored gentleman in the woodpile has emerged," she said, add ing reproachfully, "If 3'ou'd told me this at first, Madge, we'd have saved a quarter of an hour's work." ! I flushed painfully, but made no reply, for I had no defence except my own lack of vision. 1 "Forgive me, dear," she said con ' tritely. "Of course, you couldn't be expected to think of it with so much else on your mind. And I'm getting awfully cranky and impatient lately. Guess I'm getting old. But we mustn't waste time on ourselves. Tell me the sum total of those checks to Stern and the date of the last one." j I told her and she jotted them ! down, and as if forgetting that I existed computed rapidly with her pencil for several minutes. Then she cupped her chin in her hands and with her elbows on her knees stared at the Are. I waited quietly until she sprang to her feet, always the signal I that she had worked out a problem. I "Madge, I've got to see Dicky's ; cancelled checks if I have to commit ; burglary, arson, mayhem and murder to do it. Take me to his room, and let me see the padlock he's got on his desk. Ten to one I can duplicate it and the key at the local hardware store. And believe me, if I can't, I'll smash the lock, and have it out with Dicky-bird afterward. I'm not going to see him ruin his whole future career for the sake 6f a scruple or two." : iMW f Willi 1 00mm U Mint Flavor J f fy.Jell comes in frcsb fruit flavors foi desserts But it also comes In mint flavor, to make instant garnish jell.

In this out-of-thc-ordinary play Mar guerite is assisted by an excellent cast. The gorgeous gowns, the mag nificent scenes and the wonderful photography are big features. The other feature is a western drama with a popular star in the leading role. The Universal Weekly, Current Events and several short comedies are shown daily. This week's vaude ville bill is good. The Bernard Trio m a clever singing and talking the Sunner's, a dancing act of siderable ability and Gallando, sculptor, make this show a good act, cdn7 the one. ; m n.i.ii' aft It it mm r" "m Tonight-D. W, Griffith's "GREAT LOVE" FOX'S THEATER. D. W. Griffith's "The Great Love" and Fox's vaudeville depart tonight to be followed by William Farnum, in "The Rainbow Trail", the stirring se quel to "Riders of the Purple Sage." Starring William Farnum, that por trayer of big, brave, masterful, prim itive men, "The Rainbow Trail", as a William Fox standard picture, stands as one of the supreme achievements of screencraft. "The Rainbow Trail" is as big and overwhelming as the mountains and far-flung plains which form its setting. The memory is yet fresh of that other western picture, "Riders of the Purple Sage". "The Rainbow Trail" is a sequel to that famous story. Both are dramatiza tions of novels written by Zane Grey, who is without a peer in his genius star of "The Rain be nobody else but More than any other actor playing before the cam era, William Farnum has the ability tor interpreting the roles of big, pow erful men, who fight the long, hard fight, against the powerful forces of nature. Farnum has a positive genius for this type of acting, and his -work in "The Rainbow Trail" is better than anything he has ever done. "The Rainbow Trail" takes up the fortunes of Lassiter. Jane Withersteen and the girl, Fay Larkin, years after they have been locked up in the lost can yon. Not only does Mr. Farnum, again portray the role of Lassiter, the two-gun-man, and the terror of the Utah border, but he also takes the part of Shefford, a two-fisted fighting man who goes to the rescue of these imprisoned people. The result of all this is a blood-stirring photo drama absorbing from the start and ending with a smashing, thundering climax that will make you gasp. The vigor ous romance of the ranger who roved the plains for vengeance is developed so powerfully, so deftly, that not one person in a thousand can resist its mighty sweep. Mr. Farnum is mag nificent. Ho makes the love theme stand out and gives it a heart which thrills with sentimental interest. He fights for himself and for those he loves, as only Wm. Farnum ca-n fight. Four entertaining vaudeville acts will also bo offered, with other short reels in addition. he is starring is "A Nine o'Clock Town," the story of a young man who, like a great many more young men finds his homo town too slow, Charlie goes to the city and proves to his father that his big up-to-the-minute ideas are necessary in the business world of today. The photo-play ends with a thrilling climax. The picture is one that you cannot afford to ignore, and will b ea source of loss and regret to all who neglect to see it. Another smashing picture on this bill is "Back to the Woods" with the clever com- . edienne .Mabel Normand in the lead ing role. Never has she been known to disappoint, no matter what the vehicle chosen for her. Mabel Nor mand's vogue beginning when the screen was yoVng, is greater than ever before because of the massiveness of : her late productions. Her always-to- ', be-expected display of wonderful clothes and her perennially attractive personality. "Back to the Woods" is j a comedy drama in which laughter I vies with thrills, and it is the story of j an adventure in an elevator that final- j ly developed into a strong romance in : the mountains. Remember that today is your last chance in which to see the rainbow girl of the screen and your , "wonder boy" in two big smashing thrillers. j The vaudeville is one of very good ! merit. Art Smith is up'-to-the-minute with some new jokes, and the Venetian Duo is a fine musical act, while "On the Job" is an interesting and amus ing playlet.

On the same program Monday will appear Vivian Martin in her latest picture entitled "Viviette." To elaborate on the magnitude of such an astounding bill Is unnecessary for to just read the names of the pictures will convince anyone that a wonder ful bill awaits them. $2,000,000' A YEAR FOR PRETTY MARY LYCEUM THEATER. Today is the last day for the show ing for one of the best double feature bills which has been shown in a long time. On the program there is Charles Ray, one of the most popular of the younger cinema stars now be- News has just come over the wire that Mary Pickford is to get $2,000, 000 a year. The world was staggered when it heard that Charlie Chaplin was to receive a- million. Now comes Mary and has that figure doubled. The reason is obvious. She is the greatest drawing card in filmdom. No theater which does not disregard all calculations can dare to show her without raising its admission charge. The Lyceum theater is to show her latest picture, entitled: "How Could You Jean?" Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and at its old price. No doubt the theater will be packed as this news becomes known, so every one who can attend the matinee show is asked to do so and leave room for those employed during the day. Parents should have their children see this picture, for it will offer a great appeal to them. Another great treat is to be offered next Monday. Rex Beach whose name stands among the immortal American authors, will show a "Rex Beach Story" in pictures. It is none other than "Laughing Bill Hyde" and will star Will Rogers of the New York Winter Garden in the title part. Those who remember "The Spoilers" and "The Barrier" know what to expect, for Rex Beach is for reviving the early days of our i fore the public.
