Then a change came over his fea
lures and involuntarily he peered
closer.
Mas keen, old eyes were upon his
face and she saw it slowly lose what
little color returning life had given &c,
saw a look of bewilderment. of amaze
and something very like fear settle
down upon it, drawing the features,
tightening the skin. He stared hard
at the few scant notes, then raised
dilated eyes to her.
Are you sure, ma. SURE" he
asked in a strangely altered voice.
Sure? Ever know me to speak
when want sure. SON." said the gen.
era grimly.
For, though the notes on the page
were so few and so meaningless to an
outsider, 1t was plain that they had
fallen under the one pair OF eyes
whose owner they most vitality con
cerned.
This was what Walter Sandry read:

When he had finished, his weak
hands trembled on the sheet and there
was the look of cornered animal in
the bright, blue eyes that sought the
old woman's pleadingly.
Ma" said Sandry hoarsely, take it
back and put it where Miss Ordway
will casually find it, and don't say

Without a word, Ma Daily picked up
her bowl, put the little red book in her
pocket and took Siletz away to the
noon work, leaving the man for the
first time alone. OF a wide and Gun,

And in the meantime Poppy Ordway
was talking to Hampden on the Sileti

sence from their rides, and he uset
every persuasion at his command tt

Times Have Changed
 for Dear Old Mother

How times have changed
 The fat plumber thus opened the conversation.
 "Yes,"' the thin carpenter agreed, fI can remember when we used to get a soup bone thrown in for nothing with our meat order at the butchers" T wasn't thinking of that"
 What were you thinking of?"
 Mother"
 "Ah, your dear old mother"
 ''Yes, but after all, mother had her faults"
 T am surprised to hear you admit "Yes, mother believed in old-fash- toned things
 tShe did?'
 "Yes, it was years before she would use carpet sweeper"
 Well, well, we'll"
 And years and years before father could persuade her to use a washing machine"
 "You don't tell me"
 And years and years and years be- fore she knew how to use the tele- phone."
 Isn't that surprising?"
 ''It is indeed, but the most surpris- ing thing of all is that she has changed"
 "Changed greatly?" .'I should say she has. She is right up to date now"
 "In what respect?'
 "She gets her work done the easiest way"
 Quite natural
 'In fact she has found how to get any old thing she wants, engage any kind of help, or buy or sell anything in or for the house at the least possible trouble and expense"
 'How?"
 Simplest thing in the world. When mother wants anything she doesn't ask a policeman she simpy uses the want ads in The Bulletin, and she immediately gets results

Can the vicious traits of parents, like insanity and disease be passed from one generation to another* Med- fcal men throughout :he world disa- gree on this all important question some arguing and attempting to prove by experiments that such a thing is impossible. On the other hand some of the most noted students of the world disagree with their equally learned brethren, pointing out with just as much enthusiasm that such Q thing Is not impossible. This much mooted question is the basic theme of "The Stain in the Blood" which Is the feature at the Breed theatre for to- day. Robert A. Dillon, author of the photo play. long student of psychology, whose experiments in this particular line have won him world wide acclaim, says that such traits can be inherited. He brings forth vincing manner in "The Stain in the Blood" that even the skeptical are sure to be interested.
 The Mutual Weekly and a very funny comedy entitled "The Gink From Kankikee." completes the bill for today.
 For Friday and Saturday the Breed will present the exquisite little artiste, Mabel Taliaferro. in Her Great Price" a five act Metro wonderplay of distinct novelty, brinming with romance. pathos and intense heart in- terest. Miss Taliaferro will be we'll remembered to the Breed patrons by her wonderful performance in the "Snowbird," which was presented few weeks ago at thrs popular play house. and the announcement of her appearance in the forthcoming elabor- ate production will be a source Of sax isfaction to the photo play lovers, and no doubt a capacity house will trun out for this production as they did for The Snowbird.

 To the earth some. jewel rare. If we knew what hearts are aching

 Stretching forth our hands to aid If we knew what friends around us

 To each friend we chanced to meet We would give to each one freely
