anxiety and slow worry is wearing
you down"
''The only mistake we made was
that we calculated on too little CAPT.

are bound to win!"
It was a peculiar position in which
the Vances found themselves Two
months previously they had sold out
a little general store business that
had given them a bare living for
twenty years and enabled them to
give their only daughter, Helen, an
excellent musical education.
A relative in the south had been
the cause of a sudden determination
on the part OF these worthy, credu-
lous people that had altered the whole
current of their lives. He was some
thing of a plunger and Spectator,
with the motto: Get In first on the
new things" He had made a lucky
investment in a motion picture show
and was fast acquiring a fortune.
Wen sell out, find a nice, respect
able location in some pretty home
town and go into the business" de-
cided Mr. Vance. "Tll learn how to
operate the films, you can take in the
tickets and Helen-why. with her
lovely voice and fine piano playing,
she'd be half the show"
So, pride and novelty carried the
Vances away from their usual sober
judgment and here they were now,
discussing the results as proprietors
of the Palace" photo playhouse at
Maiden
They found poor, cheap motion
picture show in the town when they
started il, but it catered to a second
class clientele. There was a vacant
hall in the place that Mr.. Vance Gov

the business center, but he fancied
people would not mind that. They
did, especially rainy nights, and he
now saw his mistakes.
The vances had arranged some coy
living rooms at the rear of the play
house. It was comfortable and home
like and a palace to the old people
when Helen. with her happy, CHEEKY
ways, was about. Just now she had
taken some children home from the
show and was expected back at any
moment

sprang to his feet as a scream echoed
out in the yard back of them.

He returned in few moments stag

from his undue exertions.
'Oh, dearl deari" exclaimed the
motherly Mrs. Vance, after a glance
ut the white pulseless face OF the UNI

Helen stood regarding the rescued
wayfarer as though gazing upon some
vivid camera scene. A handsomer

however. the traces OF dissipation

He told the story shamefacedly Al
he met the beautiful eyes of Heller
fixed upon him sorrowfully, reproach
fully.
The penniless part Of It needna

blunt. practical way. "As to beini
homeless. you are welcome here til
you are better and we win be your
friends if you will let us"
In a strange, subdued manner, this
young man grew into their family ant
business lives. They fixed up 3 room
for him behind the playhouse stage
and when he got so he could move
around on crutches placed him Il
charge of the little ticket booth.
Adrian Noble would set his eyer

music for the entertainments. Ht
rarely spoke to her. yet when She
was away from the family group h'
would watch the door restlessly fol
her temperance.
When he could get around more
freely, Noble began to take a rare
interest in the business. He suggest

some unique advertising that brought
in the audiences. He invented S

Thus: a horse trotting. railroad

trated the motion pictures in q new
way.
With brighter business prospects,
Mr.. Vance still longed for the big hall
in the center of the town. He talked
about it necessarily and it interested
Noble. One day the latter came to
Helen with grave. earnest face.

he asked.

Helen, flushing trifie under his clear.

Two days later Noble disappeared
mysteriously from the playhouse.
Helen never dreamed she could so
miss him. He walked in upon them
just after the entertainment Saturday
