He stopped off in Denver. Salt Lake

business conditions there were not as

 Gee! but I'm hungry" was his greeting. "I hope you have some thing good''
 Tt isn't good at all now" I re- turned. 1T had it all ready for you at o'clock, and now it is after 8. What in the world was the matter?"

You'll have to get used to that, Madge. You've married an artist, you know, and when the doom is on, we work without any thought of time or food-or even of pretty brides" He patted my shoul- der playfully.

 Don't call names like that, Madge." Dicky grinned audaciously I'm hungry enough to eat the tab1ecloth."
 I warmed up the food as best I could, set the table again and waited until Dicky had finished the. last crumb and lighted his inevitable cigar before I brought out my letter.

is ba5eU on the life of Owen Kildare, the famous writer and so-called Bow cry Kipiing, who gave to the world in his book, My Mamie Rose," a story that was proclaimed a classic. Owen Kildare was born on the Bowery His father died before he was born. His mother gave her life bringing him into the world. He was adopted by a rough family on the East Side. At seven years of age he was kicked into the street bare-footed and half clad. Wandering through the snow-filled streets, he found a place to warm himself over the grating of an engine room in big newspaper office, where was huddled several other similar un- fortunates waiting to sell their morn ing papers. They welcomed him as one of their own. The next morning saw him a full-fiedged newsy. From then on his career was varied one. He rose rapidly to a Bowery tough, a bartender, a saloon bouncer and a prize fighter of no mean ability. He was nearly thirty years old when he met Marie Rose Deering, whom he later immortalized in his famous book My Mamie Rose" Owen Kill dare was standing in front of sa- loon where he was acting as bouncer, when several of his companions be- gan to insult a beautiful young girl who was passing. This very woman whom he had protected brought the great change into Kildare's life, and his life after this incident reads like a fairy tale.
 No expense has been spared by the William Fox forces in making '"The Regeneration" one of the strongest photo-plays ever filmed.
