FAMOUS BON TONS"
 AT GRAND NEXT WEEK

Bert Baker and the famous Bon Tons' will be at the Grand theater, Hartford, all next week and from all accounts, Baker is in the field this sea- son with a burlesque production that closely approaches elaborate presenta- tions of musical comedy. The new piece presented by "The Bon-Tons," is entitled Copper at GA" and it is in two acts and seven scenes. The first act takes place in Wall Street where MT. Baker, as "Buttercup" gambles in stocks and constantly gets into trouble. The second act is divided into five scenes. One is a cabaret where eight vaudeville acts are given. An opium dive and a Japanese garden are said to be the big scenes of the production. Ii illustrates the interior of an orien- tai Japanese garden with all the bril- liancy and splendor of two hundred years ago. The possibilities of cos tumi1fg can hardly be imagined The central figure is always Bert Baker, whose well known abilities as a full maker insure performance irresisti- bly, amusing. Principal in his SUD- port is Babe La Tour a young woman or rare pnNSlcdl C1ldIIlS duu d COHloO1- enne of splendid attainments. She has been seen at the Grand in the past and has made a host of friends, which is equally true of MT. Baker. The remarka ble dance team of Mabel McCloud and Micky Feeley is also a part of the organization while other members of the company who are we'll known burlesque favorites are T sam Hyams, and Mike Forster. There is also an unusually large chorus ot pretty girls, which is one of the con- spicuous features of the show. The Grand's season is fast waning and this is one of the few really great shows that remain to be seen there this sea-

THE STRANGE CASE
 OF MARY PAGE"

suffering was doubled by that of LangdOn; that he went through vi cariously all she endured as well as bearing his own burden and so for his sake she bore up, drinking in courage from the love that enveloped her whenever his eyes met hers.
 For just as the trial and what had gone before it had stripped her of her Woman's subterfuges and coquetres, so had 1t stripped LangdOn's love ot the masculine dread of publicity, and he cared nothing even if all those in the courtroom read the secrets of his heart.
 On this particular morning, how ever, Mary fancied that there was a new meaning in his smile and a light of hope in his eyes, and there was keen interest in her own gaze when the first witness was called.
 "Sohn McGlone!"
 He was a burly man in a loud waist coat, with hair that grew low on h1s forehead and was parted in the mid dle into two careful curls in a fashion popular with a certain type of bar keeper and barber
 He showed no signs of nervousness On the contrary, he seemed somewhat pleased with his importance and answered Langdon's first questions with a, glbness that held a touch of the pompous.
 He was, he said, owner and pro- prietor of large "retail liquor ouse" and had formerly been Ion the force"
 Did you ever know David Pol lock?" asked Langdon.
 Sure! I knew Dave we'll I bought most of my fancy wines through him, and he used to drop in occasionally when he was passin', just to say howdy."
 Did he ever bring friends with him ?''
 ''Oh, sometimes. Not often." There was a conversational tone in the wit ness voice.
 Did you ever heard him quarrel with anyone while in your saloon?'

CLEVER TEAM OFFERS
 AMUSING SPECIALITY

"Outside And Inside Vaudeville" q
 comedy sketch introducing Mccarthy and Stenard, one of the most clever team of entertainers appearing here in many a day, forms an important part
 of the variety show at Keeneys this
 week. The pair will conclude their
 engagement in this city tonight ana
 vaudeville devotees who have not seen
 their specially will do we'll to attend,
 the theater tonight There is plenty
 of breezy comedy in the act, lots of
 good music and some original lines
 that give consider1 ble pleasure MT
 Mccarthy is a capable comedian and
 his attractive partner is also an en-
 tertainer of ability. A third mem Der of the combination, whose name does
 not appear on the program, enhances
 the value of the act by his remarkable singing. His Irish ballad is this weeks real hit.
 Few acts receive the reception ac-
 corded every day to that of Nettie Gordon, the clever sharpsh ooter. who IS giving an exhibition with her rifle this week. Nettie does some great 1 target firing. She rarely misses no
 matter what position she shoots from
 and she accomplishes some of the i most difficult shots with incredible ease.
 The other big act this week is Anita Diaz and her troupe of educated mon- keys. It is one of the best animal acts ever seen here and it has been we'll received every day.
 Admirers of Denman Thompson and 1 his immortal rural classic, The Old Homestead,' should not miss the op- l portunity which Keeney's accords to l see the play in it's picturized form. It l tops the photoplay bill tonight. The l homely old New England drama is l ideally constructed for the "movies' 1 and it's screen version is even more en- l tertaining than the stage production l itself. even though Denman Thomp- 1 son is not among the cast.
 1 Some other good films are on the 1 program for tonight

EPISODE XIII.

Thank you" said Langdon, but Daniels drowned.
 You've got no cause to thank me-" he said. T just wanted you to know. I want to be kept posted. I don't want to tell anything that ain't nec essary, but if the worst comes to the worst, by God I'll tell it all.'
 ''Is that your promise?"
 Yes" Abruptly Daniels put on his hat, and without a word of parting marched out Of the door leaving Langdon staring through narrowed lids after his retreating form, as he reached for the telephone.
 He was late getting into court but whatever conflicting emotions the promise made by Daniels had reused in him were hidden by the smiling mask of confidence and ease with which he reassured not only Mary but the spectators.
 To Mary, that smile and the deep abiding tenderness in his eyes were the two things that made it possible to bear with patience the weary strain of the passing days. The first shud- dering horror of the tragedy had passed, it is true, and in spite of it's occasional return in the quiet of sleep less nights. it had given place to a less poignant though bitter enough suffering.
 With the passing of the acute agony, however, the little things at first became @ source of daily mar tyrdom. The hard bed; the coarse food; the lack of privacy; the linn ited conveniences; the roughness or the police and the suffocating sense of being a prisoner; of being denied the fresh air and the sunshine and the right to go where she pleased, seemed almost unbeara ble.
 Yet she knew that the agony of her

How Madge Warned Dicky.


 'Dicky, wake up" I spoke softly, and shook him carefully. The fear of awakening his sick mother was strong upon me. She had fallen into (, refreshing sleep after the meal I had prepared for her, and I knew that she would probably sleep for an hour or two.
 It was my sole chance for discuss ing with Dicky the subject which had caused me so much mental discom- fCrt-the secret concerning my hus- hand and Lillian Gale, which every body seemed determined to keep from my knowledge.
 My mOther-in-law shared the secret, I knew. But she had told me that it would do me no good to know anything about it. She had asked to see Dicky when he should awaken. I guessed that she meant to protest against any association of mine with Lillian Gale.
 I felt that I must stif1e unless the mystery were cleared up. So I ran the risk of Dicky's anger and awakened him.
 What in thunder? 2" he began grossly, as he opened his eyes and saw me bending over him.
 Come into the kitchen in ten minutes,'' I whispered. And don't make any noise to waken your mother. She is sleeping, and I have something of importance to discuss with you"
 Well of all the blasted nonsense!" Dicky grumbled as he stretched him. self lazily, but I did not wait to hear the rest Of his protest, for I hurried into the kitchen.
 Katie was polishing the brasses of the faucets, humming happily t herself the while. She looked up as I entered, and smiled at me her in variable cheery greeting.
 You want someting, Missis Gra- ham?" she asked brightly. "Vot I feex for you?'
 T want you to do an errand for me. Katie.'' I ransacked my brain to invent a commission for her, and seized upon the first idea that came to me. "Go to the florists and get a dozen pink carnations for Mrs. Graham's room. You need not hurry back with them. She will sleep for an hour or two yet. If you have any errands of your own attend to them while you are out. Yu haven't been in the air for several days. The walk will do you good.'
 "Oh, tank you, Missis Graham" " Katie's response was enthusiastic. ''I take me my shoes to get feexed, and gy by the drug store oncet, and get me some paper for writing nlc some letters"
 Katie Understands Madgc. Her face clouded suddenly " ol need fresh air, too,'' she said decided 1 lI. You not steeck your nose out 1 ooor since de old vomans get seeck You work all de time. Look out o1 l you get seeck, too.'

Painless Giving

Every now and then a letter fTierd writes me a letter so much moro in- teresting than anything I have to say that my column belongs to hln or her. Today it belongs to the letter friend who has the story of a good habit to tell
 "I wonder if you'd like to tell your readers" she writes, about habit which I formed some years ago and which has meant a great deal to me? T call it the habit of painless giving. Six years ago, 1 think it was,, I decid- ed to put aside a tenth of my salary for charity.
 The Advantages of Tithing From a
 Selfish Viewpoint
 There is nothing new in the habit of giving a, tithe to charity. I believe it dates back to Moses, if not farther And the merit from the ethical point of view has been sufficiently dWelt upon. But I want to say something about the satisfa ction the habit gives to the person acquiring it, it's advan- tage from 9, personal, I might say from a selfish, point of view.
 No Sense of Effort In Giving This
 Way
 But the moment I set aside a defi- mite portion of my income, 1 ceased to think of the money set aside as be- longing to me. When anyone asked me for funds for some charita b1e or ganization, or, when I came into per

News fo1 Theater G0eys and Women Readers

Rosemary I overheard two women in the dressing room of the theater discussing the love affairs which had been yours and hers, and predicting that she would try to win back your affection. Many little things since then have borne out the truth of what they said.'
 Look here" shouted Dicky. DO you think Pm going to stand around listening to any such rot as this?''
 Don't waken your mother" I ad- monished coolly. Miss Sonnot says her very life depends upon her not being excited in any way
 Then l advanced step toward him.
 Its no use taking that tone with me, Dicky," I said determinedly. T have heard too much from your mother and Harry Underwood, Lillian's husband, only this week, to rest until I find out thetruth.''
 Well! You'll find out nothing from me- my husband returned hOtly.

 had sudden uncomfortab ble feel Ing that there was nothing in the osslly happenings of our lives which passed unnoticed by this girl in my employ. Then I considered the nalvete the eager, childish curiosity of the alien child for she is little more, and forgave her as had done many times before.
 Get the carnations, Katie" I said flne sternly, "and don't bother your head about anything else,
 All right, I keep my mout' shut so tight Katie grinned inpishlv pack at me and was gone.
 Her remark about the sweet peas troubled me, however. re,,,a,,, hered only too wildly the rebnff n,1, mother-in-law had given me when T had brought a bunch of sweet naoe tc her room upon the day of her arrival at our home.
 You are very kind,' she said ici,v but I must ask you not to leave those here. I cannot sleep if there is any odor, pleasant or otherwise in my room. Beside, flowers are very unhealthful in bedrooms. I hope you do not have them in Dicky's'
 had a shrewd suspicion, however. that the elder Mrs. Graham's dia- tribe on that occasion was called forth by her resentment against me, ! and that her speech concerning flowers in bedrooms did not voice her real sentiments. I trusted to the kindly feeling she seemed to enter tain toward me since her illness, and , hoped for a better reception for my carnations than the sweet peas had been given.
 If she doesn't want them. I can put them on the lining table," I re- flected philosophically. and had to get Katie out of the way with some excuse.'
 I hardly expected Dicky within the ten minutes l had named to him, but l the time was scarcely up when he 1 appeared. Evidently his curiosity 1 had gotten the better of his sleepi- l ness.
 
 Now if you'll tell me what in | Sam Hill this Hist -meet-me-a -alone- ! stuff is all about,' he began with the | bored tone which he affects some 1 times, and which always irritates me l when he adopts it.
 Sit down, Dcky." pushed a ! chair toward him, and sat down | opposite him. I was resolved that no minor annoyances should divert I me rom my pursose. My husband l sat down, staring at me as if he thought I had suddenly taken leave | of my senses.
 Ever since we were married" l began, trying to make my voice l steady, T have heard from various sources of a secret, if not a question l, able relation, between your former life and that of Lillian Gale Under ] Wood's."
 I purposely pronounced the name slowly and deliberately, but hurried on as Dicky sprang to his feet with | a smothered oath.

sOnal contact with a case of need, ccuId give without the slightest sense of effort. The money was there to be given, lay only problem was how to give most wisely.
 There may be people who might give more if they gave by sympathy instead of by system. l don't think that is true of the average person and I know it is not true of myself. I am a working woman with a comfortable but not large salary I am not abso- lutely sure when it was I started to give a tithe., but if it was six years ago, as l believe, and if my circum- stances permit me to give as much for another year, I shall then have given away about a thousand dollars. She Would Never Have Given That
 Thousand Otherwise
 T feel sure I should never have persuaded myself to give as much if I had not acquired the habit of pain less giving, and I wish more people could know the happiness which such a habit brings
 I can certainly say Amen to that last wish. I want to add one word. Too many people, feeling that they cannot afford to give a tenth, give up the idea of putting aside any definite proportion. That should not be a bar. Have a seance with your conscience and your account book as to what proportion you can give, and then definitely decide to give that, no mat ter how small it is.
