something that for Inc time at least
seemed greater than the law-an I'M
derstanding of Mary's heart. vision Of
what might yet De il freedom could
be won for her. 4.
1t was a strange momeTt for n grea
love to find expression, and strange
story which had WdEencd 1t: and
while Langdon felt deep in bis heart
that no words were needed after that
glance of Mary's he could not for
bear following her to her eel! when
court had adjourned. She glanced
up at him with sudden sl7yness when
he came in, and her hands went cut
WaVeringly, but .Whethe; to hold him
off or to cling she could not herself
have told. Langdor had no doubts
however, and caught them &efose in
his warm grasp and drew befto him
in a silence more eloquent tram words.
Then, STOPPING till his cheek lay
against her hair, he Whispered un-
steadily:
Mary when Daniels told OF Dave
Pollock's attempt on my life, your
eyes said something to me that they
have never said before. Did you
mean it, dear?' Then as she chung
to him mutely, he laughed softly and
added:
Il know you did. You can never
deny 1t now, my darling, and when
all this is over, I am going to ask
you a observation-disclosures make YOU
put into words what your eyes told
me today. May I MarN"''
For an instant she swayed against

TWO BABY ACTRESSES
MAKE HIT AT LYCEUM

Childhood, childhood
Innocent days of ChjldhOOd,-
Going to school, wadin8 the pool
Rambling through the wild
wood
Childhood childhood,
Id give the world il I could
Be for tonight just Il wee little
mite
In those wonderful days of
childhood.
Thus runs the song that takes
grown-ups back to childhood but
with all it's lifting melody and senti-
ment it has not the weight to carry
out its mission as has the wonderful
play shown at the Lyceum this week.
The Prince Chap" with two little
girls playing the innocent role of
childhood. Miss Ruth Spissell, a
dainty tot of five years is playing
the leading role Of Claudia in the
first act Just to see her go through
her performance is worth dollar of
any mans money. She Is the per-
sonif1cation of childhood, With it's won-
derful indescr1bable, innocence. 1t
takes the audience back to the real
days Of girl and boy land, the DAYS
when no one knew a care nor sor-
row, when all the world was a Won
derful dream when stern reality had
not put in it's appearance.
Nor does Miss Spissell hold forth
alone. In the second act of this
play when the leading feminine char
acter has assumed the age of eight
years, Miss Doris Eaton comes on the
boards and takes up where the little
tot of the first act left off. She too
is a mere slip Of a child, Boosting onlv
eight summers to her career But
withal Miss Eaton is an actress and
one Of the first water. There are no
missing OF lines where she Is con-
cerned. nor any mis-Cues. BE if
understood that this little lady of
stage land has played befo,e the foot
lights before. Last week she was
in Baltimore playing the same part
given her this week. Therefore. Miss
Eaton may be looked upon as an old
timer on the stage. She has seep
many audiences in her short span Of
years, and she knows just what TO dc
under the most trying circumstances
The Prince Chap" is a unique play
IN that 1t calls for the services of
three actresses to portray the leading
FEMININE role. 1t Is the story of an
American artist in London who adopts
niue orphan. She is five years
old when she first goes under his
roof. In the next act she is seen at
eight and in the final act as eighteen.
1t is then Miss Julie Herne takes up
the role. Alfred Cross is he princc
chap.

buried. his face in his shaking hands,
waiting for the next question. But
it didn't come. That tragic outburst

Langdon but to everyone in the room,

Keeping Promises

ha. u pcace-inspiring thing it is to
receive a promise from some people!
Your mind Is set at ease on whatever
subject the promise concerns. You
know the thing is as good as done.
and you rest secure in the haven of
their dependa bility.
But alas! there are other people
whose promises give you no such feel
ing of security. You hope they will
fulfil them but you are never sur
prised to be told at the eleventh hour,
or by worse chance, at the thirteenth
that they were not able to- Sometimes
excuses and explanations are offered,
sometimes even that formality is dis
pensed with.
My Experience With Promises.
Once upon a time L had partial
charge of keeping the headquarters
of a certain society open. The days
we're divided into sections of two
hours each, and various members of
the society were pledged to look out
for the headquarters during the hours
assigned to them.
on the second day my telephone
rang frantically The woman who had
promised to take the shift from twelve
to two was on the telephone. 1t was
three O'Clock and her successor had
not arrived, nor did she come at all.
She subsequently explained that she
had been called to town. She did not
say that the call was extremely press
ing and she had apparently made no
effort to get a substitute or notify us.
Yet she seemed to feel that the post
mortem explanation wiped the slate
perfectly clean.
