The ChaEce
Of Sorrow
Cleo Madison
a tragedy in which

Wedgewood Newell and Chas.-
Cummings are introduced to
the popular Bluebird series as
leading players.
Miss Madison is called upon, in
THE Challce OF Sorrow" to do
some of the most intensely
emotional acting ever shown in
the silent drama. She depicts a
range Of emotion that extends
from the extreme OF delight, in
securing public acclaim in the
successful role OF an opera sing
er, to the depts OF despalr-to
picture OF woman's battle
against intrigue and villainy
and then finally witness the
crumbling heap OF her hearts
greatest love lying dead, re-
sponseless to her grief.
The sharp contrast between Joy
and despair. the transition
from happiness to unspeakable
sorrow has been pictured by
Miss Madison in superb pam
tOmlne. Her assisting players
have each to interpret roles
that make for perfect entertain
ment, and they have been Sc
lected solely for their individual
fitness to meet requirements.
Besides Mr.. NOVEL; and Mr..
Cummings, the work OF John

There are many models back OF

quently In Italy. He was peculiarly
concelted and affected young buffer,
Georg Brandes writes In the Century
Magazine. He used to tell the Italian
girls at Ischia and Capri that his father,
q schoolteacher in reality, was the best
friend of the king Of Denmark, and
that he himself was one Of the great
est men in Denmark. To prove this,
he often appeared In entire suits OF
white satin. He called himself a poet,
but could find poetical inspiration only
In the wilderness or in desolate, dreary
spots. He once went to Crete to write,
he said, great drama Of tragedy. He
returned, however, without having ac-
compllshed his purpose. He averred
that he could feel tragic emotion only
In the mountains, and lived In self
delusion and illusion.
Some of his characteristics have
passed In "Peer Gynt." Otherwise

carnatlon of Norwegian folbles. Peers
lies are not really falsehoods. If this
implies the intention to deceive others.
They are rather self-deceptions. "Peer

Cervantes' "Don Quixote," and is more
closely related to Daudet's "Tartarin."

WHY CHANGERS ARE DRY.

"Tha answer Is easy to give" says
Mr.. L. j. Tabor, master of the Ohio
State Grange, explaining why the
farmers are active in the fight for
statewide and nationwide prohibi-
ton. "The grange is a constructive
forward-looliing organization. The
first plank in the grange platform is
not more money for the farmer, but
better men and women on the farms
and in America. This high purpose
leaves but one course of action that
the grange could possibly take in
moral issue. 1t must be on the right
side Of the question.
"The grange, state and national, is
for absolute prohibition, not for IA
natlcal or sentimental reasons, but be-
cause common sense and the cold
facts in the case conclusively demon
strate that while the saloon is the
greatest enemy of the church and the
home, 1t Is also a great enemy of ru-
raj progress, Of national development
and the best things in life."

WHICH SHALL WE BELIEvE7

The liquor interests continue to send
broadcast false statements concerning
conditions in dry states. This is one
of them:
"In Colorado $4,000 were rendered
jobless by prohibition; they glutted
the labor market; Industrial condi.
tions became chaotic; wages were re-
duced; thousands were thrown on pub
lie charity"
The Colorado state labor commits.
sioner, Mr.. Alex Swanson, thus re-
plies:
prohibition did not make $4,000 job
less. When the 1000 Colorado sa-
looms closed some 10000 persons were
affected. This number included bar.
tenders, porters, walters, brewery
workers, etc. They were quickly as.
simulated in other lines. There was no
Cutting Of the labor market. Our
great trouble has been to get men
enough for the jobs. Wages have not
been going up. Thousands were not
thrown upon public charity. Perhaps
few saloon hangers-on were, who
would not work anyway. You will al
ways find such in any town. There
are more demands for men to fill the
jobs since prohibition than there are
men to fill the jobs

THIS FROM "coLLIERs'".


In few years the statisticians
ought to have some curves showing
what no booze really means to our
big cities. Under decent and good
government the results are startlingly
similar. For example, here are Seat
tie and Birmingham In opposite cor
ners Of the United States, different In
almost every detail of racial makeup,
business interests, ETC., but both tell
ing the same "dry" tale. About one.
half as many arrests, fewer murders
and suicides, but more bank clearings,
less fire and more building, increased
trade and emptied jails-such are a
few of the items. The drug problem
Is easier because whisky hasn't done
any subsoil plowlng for 1t. These
facts, and more like 'em, are noted
by such papers as the Manufacturers
Record and by keen business men who
wonder now why on earth they ever
thought prohibition would hurt busi-
ness. probably they had read 1t in
the liquor adsD The sameness Is
tiresome except to those who like to
note social progress, and to the un-
fortunate women and kids who some
times wonder drearlly how long 1t will
be before their homes, too, are In out

her mother came in and, presently, POr-
tia. She introduced him to them, and
then dropped out of the conversation
altogether. AS II 1t were long way
off, she heard him retailing last nights
adventure and expressing his regret
that he hadn't taken her to hig sister
to be dried out, before he sent her
home.
She was aware that Portia stole a
look at her In puzzled, penetrating
sort of way every now and then, but
didn't concern herself as to the basis
of her curiosity. 1t wasn't until he
rose 90 go that she aroused herself
and went with him into the hall.
There, after he'd got into his overcoat
and hooked his stick over his arm, he
held out his hand to her In formal
leave-taklng. Only 1t didn't turn out
that way. For the effect Of that warm,
1.-the grip flew its flag in both their
faces.

She smiled. $50 are y-you." 1t was
the first time she had ever stammered
In her life.
When she came back into the sit
tlng-room, she found Portla inclined
to be severe. "Did you ask him to
come agaln" she wanted to know.
Rose smiled. 81 never thought Of
It," she said.
perhaps It's just as WELL" said
Portia. "Did you have anything at
all to say to him before we came
home, or were you like that all the
while? How long ago did he comeT"
81 don't know" said Rose behind
very real yawn. 81 was asleep on
the couch when he came In. That's
why l was dressed like this" And
then she said she was hungry.

his intuitions, MS Rose had done. He
felt that he must thlnk-felt that he
had never stood in such need of cool,
level consideration as at this moment.
But the process was impossible.
Anyway, 1t was remark Frederick
had made last night that gave him
something to hold on by. Marriage,
she had said, was an adventure Of
which no amount of cautious thought
taken in advance could modify the es-
sentlal adventurousness. There was
no doubt in his mind that marriage
with that girl would be a more won
derful adventure than anyone had
ever had in the world.

CHAPTER w.
How IL Struck Portla.


II was just a fortnight later that
Rose told her mother she was going
to marry Rodney Aldrlch, thereby
giving that lady greater shock of
surprise than, hitherto, she had ex-
perienced in the sixty years Of a
tolerably eventful life.
Rose found her neatly writing a
paper at the boudoir desk In the little
room she called her den.
Mrs. Stanton said, "What, dear?"
indifferently enough, just in mechani-
cal response Of the matter-of-fact in
Election of Rosallnd's voice. Then she
laid down her pen, smiled in puzzled
way up into her daughters face, and
added: "My ears must have played
me funny trick. What did you sayf"
Rose repeated: Rodney Aldrich and
l are going to be married"
But when she saw look of painful
incomprehension In her mothers face,
she sat down on the arm Of the chair,
slid strong arm around the fragile
figure, and Rugged 1t up against her
self. II suppose" she observed con-
tritely, that l ought to have broken
it more gradually. But l never think
of things like that"
AS well as she could, her mother
resisted the embrace. 81 can't be-

her desk with both hands, "that you
would jest about solemn subject like
that, Rose, and yet It's incredible u

to another chair. "If you'll talk
nationally and seriously, my DEAR" she
said, 1--WE can continue the conversa-

tone you're taking, pains me very
much"

"that Mr.. Aldrich has asked you to
marry him and that you've consented.
1t seems to me you have done so
hastily and thoughtlessly. He's told
you he loves you, I've no doubt, but
l don't see how it's possible for you
to feel sure on such short acquaint-
ance."
"Why, of course he's told me-" Rose
said a little bewildered. "He can't

than 1 can help telling him. We're
rather mad about each other, really.
