'sssoso.1, her back to the hun-Drained
eavety of earlier days.
She read slowly and with morbid
relish the entire rambling epistle
Then. at last. she came to a scrubbed
postscript on a separate half-sheet.
The postscript ran:
81 hear your old sweetheart, Halsey
Brent, has cleaned up million in a
war nunition deal. Everything he
touches turns to gold"
The silly lines burned themselves
into Leila Carriers brain. In a rush
they brought back visions of what
might have been hers, il she had not
rejected this richer sweetheart
Presently. with a sigh. she got to
, her feet and crossed the room to the
shabby dresser that stood in corner.
/ She smiled cynically at the unkept
image the dresser mirror revealed to
| her.
Then. thrusting the letter and the
/ postscript sheet into half open
/ drawer she went back to her hateful
| task of dishwashing.
But today the routine of household
labor was tenfold more irksome than
! ever before.
There had been another line or
two after the postscript's end. But

Your mother tells me she and your
father are starting from New York
in a day or two to pay you a flying
visit. I'm sending my love by them"
Nellie had belatedly remembered at
this point that Mrs. Austin had told
her the visit was to be a surprise to
Leila. Hence the careful erasure.
After an interminable time, the last
of the cheap. thick dishes was washed
and dried. Logging a boiler OF hot
water from the back of the stove
Leila filed the wooden washtub and
proceeded to toss carelessly into il
the pile OF soiled clothes.
The cabin door swung open and

KLARK-URBAN CO.
Will Open Three Nights Engage
ment at Hancock Hall Monday,

VIII Open Three Nights Engage
ment at Hancock Hall Monday.
The always popular Klark- Urban Co.
will open a three nights engagement at
Hancock hall next Monday evening. The
opening bill will be ''Seven Keys to Bald
pate" by George NJ. Conan, the play OF
" hich he Is most proud.
From the moment Magee, the novelist,
arrives at Baldpate inn, supposedly the
most desolate place on earth, things begin
to happen, and they continue to happen
with such startling suddenness, and from
such unexpected sources that the audi
ence is not only mystitied, but held until
the final curtain ana denouement.
In presenting play like ''Seven Keys
to Baidpate," at popular prices, the
Kiark- Urban Co. is making q departure,
oecause the play is so modern, the royal
ties so high, the cost OF production be-
yond that OF the ordinary play, yet when
the opportunity to secure the pro-
ducing rights came to them, they &C.
cepted, believing the public would ap-
preciate the exceptional value Of such q
play, and make the venture financial as
well as artistic success. All scenery and
electrical effects are carried for the pro-
duction and are the same a. the original
production.
Tuesday night, ''The Old Homestead"
will be presented, and on Wednesday,
