/ the man who played Cod
The climax is reached when he is
shocked to find himself watching a
love scene between a man and woman
whom he recognizes to be his young
nephew and his equally young wife
He solves this difficulty by heroic
self sacrifice.
In carrying out this scheme, there
are a dozen lightning leaps, from scene
to scene, such as the public is now
familiar with in the moving picture
play. Whenever the deaf man. Mont
gOmery Starr, looks out of his win
dow, the stage is darkened. and there
springs into view the scene he is
watching. Opinion in regard to the
effect of these Interruptions will be
divided, 1 am sure. 1 found 1t quite
pleasing, although it is true that in
some of the most important moments,
Mr.. skinner is barred from the stage
entirely.
Another new drama has arrived in
town with Secret Strings which is
now playing at the LOngacre theatcr.
With it is welcomed back to Broadway
the Danish Greek actor, LOu-Tellegen,
who was seen here last winter in
Maria Rosa"
Mr. Lou-TeIIegen's new vehicle is a
drama in four acts which Kate Jor-
dan bases on one of her own short
stories. In some respects, it reminds
one of Under Cover" which has had
a long run at the Cort theater.
Secret Strings" is a story of the
attempt by a band of thieves at the
head of whom is Marquenne CMr. Tel
legen) to steal some enormously Valu-
able jewels from an old and beautiful
chateau near Nantes. Franc Mar
quenne dresses himself up as a gentle
man of pleasure and pays a visit to the
chateau where he decides to make his
attempt on a stormy Christmas eve
ming, when the countess is giving
costume dinner in the banquet hall.
The coffee is to be drugged that
night. Marquenne is to seize the jewels
and make his escape in a motor car
which is held in waiting without.
The trick is turned and Marquenne,
the jewel cases under his arm, is
headed for the high road when the
members of the dinner party come TO
from their affected stupOr, whip off
their sundry DISCUSSES and confront
him. They were not gentry at ALI but
detectives who had left the jewels
around for him to take and had earn
estly hoped that he would not fail to
do so.
Mr.. Teuegen is strikingly pictur-
esque and always interesting to watch
particularly in the dinner scene when
he comes in the guise Of the ruthless
Carrier He has an extraordinary
eloquence of posture and gesture
Mr.. Revelle and Mr.. de BelleVllle
acquit themselves honOrably in secon-
Diary roles and Miss Yurka and Miss
Oswald are successful in smaller ones.
The part of Marquenne's rebellious
wife falls to Miss Nash. She presents
most appealing picture.

Kiel is connected with the North sea
by an artificial waterway 81 miles long

Wilhelm canal, which was finished in
1895, with a depth OF twenty-nine and
a half feet But recently it has been
deepened to Sc feet throughout, the
work being completed only a short
time before the war broke out. It will
accommodate the largest battleships.

Gus route and most of it was just hard
work.
when 7 was a little shaver out in
Garden City, Kansas, my father ran
eight barber shops, and cut every
body's hair in town, said Fred. "One
day a travelling acrobat stretched a
wire in a vacant lot, did some stunts
and passed the hat. In his frantic
bouncing about on that wire, he shook
off some Of the spangles on his tights,
and L diveG forward and picked
them all up.
I ran home and teased Ma to make
me a pair of tights. This she did
out Of a bright red underskirt and
some long black stockings, and when
the spangles were stitched on, my fate
was settled. No barber shops for me!

the trees stand upright in their natural

the fossiliged trunks have evidently

Now as the softer rocks surrounding

SHADE FOR THE FARM HOME

An abundance of shade is one Of the
Injuries which every farm home can
and should have. The city dweller is
often renter and must take things
as they are. Or If he owns a home,
the lot Is restricted in size, and large
trees are an impossibility. But on
the farm land for a commodious yard
should always be reserved
Those having a grand old elm,
maple, or oak to begin with, are for
tunate, indeed. But the idea that
trees planted now of these species will
be comfort only to succeeding gen.
erations is quite mistake.
Most of the naples, and especially
the sugar and red naples are of rapid
growth, and at a few years at most
will give an abundance of shade.
Do not make the mistake of using
fruit OF nut trees in the yard. Both
make a litter at certain seasons, which
renders them a sort of nuisance en-
tirely unnecessary. If you had no
room for an orchard it would be a
NihCA OhI AhdblCi. IOu WdHI tuc ydIu
for solid comfort, and not as a crop
producer.
Because the city man uses the
horse chestnut for shade, do not follow
his example. He does it because this
tree is low growing and compact-just
the thing where there is little room
either on the ground or in the air.
With your broad expanse more as
piring species should be chosen. Be-
sides the burs are a nuisance.
There is nothing better on the farm
admirably, and in every community
there are those well worth attention.
