What Happened When Madge and . The farewell threat of Mrs. Allis to me, repeated in friendly warning by Mrs. Cosgrove, spoiled the remaining hours I spent in the Catskill mountain farmhouse, and shadowed my journey home.
 We left the farmhouse on the morn Ing following Mrs. Allis departure, left It with the feeling that we had known for years the simple, kindly people into whose lives our own had been so strangely interwoven for a week, de- parted with many assurances of re- turn on our part and promises of future visits to us by the Cosgroves. \ Robert Savarin, Mrs Cosgrove's brother, was to come to us for a. week or two as soon as his sister was sure That his nowly restored sanity would be a ble to stand the strain of a change from the peaceful surroundings in which he had spent so many years. l knew that Dicky looked forward With the naivete of a child to reintroducing the artist, grown famous while his brain slumbered, to the world of the New York studios.
 ! Wont we make the fellows sit up, thought he said to me gleefully, as we sat on the deck of a Hudson river boat watching for the second time within a fortnight the wonderful panorama of cliff and mountain and vale covered with gorgeous autumnal eoloring. Well give him few small studio gatherings in town, real ones with real people, none of your imita- ton Bohemian teas. Of course Lll md the others will entertain him, and the others will entertain him, and then we'll have the. whole bunch out Tor one rip shorter of a time. Whats khe matter?'' as he saw me smiling to myself.
 'Don't Be Ridiculous
 "I was just trying to imagine Robert savarin at a rip shorter of a hme,'' I reoined. j "A recluse of so many years ought to be introduced to The limelight more gradually I should imagine, and didn't you tell me that sven years ago he was shy, reserved nan?"
 What of that?" Dicky demanded belligerently. That just what was she matter with him. If he'd known more people that Jezebel whose little game you have just spoiled would never have been able to get her hooks into him. And you saw the old boy light up last night when I was telling him about the things he's missed out on all these years. I tell you he will lick up the right sort of good time. What are you looking so glum about 2" He broke off abruptly and scrutinized my face narrowly.
 "Disapprove of my slang again, or ion't you fancy yourself in the role of hostess to the lion of the season? Let me tell you there will be lots of women would give their eyes to be you when Robert Savarin comes back to his own.'
 Don't be ridiculous, Dickv." I re- sorted a trif7e sharply. for I did not wish him to guess the real reason for The shadow that I knew had fitted across my face at Dfckv's vindctive illusion to "that Jazebel.''
 The very mention of Mrs. Allis made me shudder. I could hear again her parting message for me as a warning.

COUNTRY CLUB SECURES
ADDITIONAL GROUNDS,

AS soon as negotiations will have
been completed for the purchase of
100 acres of land running from the
Shore Road to Lakes Bay by the At
lantic City Country Club at North
field, work will be started on a new
eighteen hole golf course. Plans for
the new course have been laid out and
work will be begun Immediately upon
hnlsh1ng details for the purchase. The
price is $4,000. The new links have
been made necessary because of the
steady increasing membership of the
club, which now numbers more than
400.
The Atlantic City Country club has
grown to such proportions in the last
few years and golf has become so pop
ular with the wives of the members
that the present eighteen-hole course
has become insufficient for the clubs
needs. At the beginning of the new
year it was decided to increase the
dues from $25 to $50 a year, to enforce
the limitation that has been fixed upon
the membership and finally to pur-
chase ground for an additional eigh-
teen holes.
The ground which has been acquir-
ed has a frontage on the Shore Road,
and will run from that thoroughfare
to the shore of the bay. 1t is pro-
posed to make it one of the best cours-
es in the country. The property to
which the club will take title has been
owned in part by E. F. Ryon, Eugene
Hendrickson, Sarah j. Fifield, Elwood
Fifield, Clara Fifeld and Robert Run
lop. A special committee was ap-
pointed by the club to acquire title to
the property, and it is now understood
that a title company is almost ready
to deliver the new deeds.
The Atlantic County Historical So
ciety will hold its monthly business
meeting at the Free Public Library,
Atlantic City, on Friday evening, Feb.
23rd, at 8 o'clock. This will be a do
nation night, and it is desired that
anyone who has any historical relics
to donate, or lend for a time to the
Society, will bring or send them at
this time.

THE VICTORY OF CONSCIENCE

This latest Lasky picture of current
release is s%trikingly original from sit
uations and treatment wen down to
the plot itself. That it will attain
success is little short of certain, as
the whole fabric is based on conflict,
friction, or by whatever term you
prefer to designate that dramatic ele-
ment that is practically essential to
sents a battle between to such unus-
ual characters that the "strikingly
original" definition goes two-fold.
The scenario was made by Marga-
ret Turnbull from the story written
shortly after the outbreak of the Eu-
ropean war by Alexandra de Jannelli.
Miss Turnbull has emphasized the
high lights of the book to an excel
lent degree. The action sticks to the
main theme in practically every scene,
and that theme is strong enough and
interesting enough to warrant the in
PRODUCTION of no parallel. The pro-
duction rendered the picture is of a
very good sort. There is a jump or
two in the action when intervening
time is not fully accounted for and
the few battle flashes shown in the
final scenes are not very realistic, but
otherwise, there is nothing to COM
plain of.
The scene of action is France and
the realism is introduced by way of
several unique settings and plenty of
good types. Louis, a gay young man,
is the cause of the spiritual downfall
of Rosette, a dancer. Her lover at
tacks and almost kills him. He is
rescued by a priest and on his recov-
cry he is persuaded to join the order.
He devotes the rest of his life in an
attempt to restore Rosette's faith in
God that he has so ruthlessly de-
stroyed. He is successful at length
and she joins a convent. With the
outbreak of the war;, Louis enlists as
a soldier, Rosette as a nurse, and
both meet death on the battlefield.
Lou Tellegen is starred as Louis. A
fine actor, fitted we'll for the role, he
makes a strong impression. Cleo
Ridgely gives a talented performance
as Rosette, acting with skill. Elliott
Dexter appears as Demitri, at first
the companion of Louis and later his
enemy. Others are Thomas Delmar,
Laura Woods Gushing and John Nc
Kennon.
This five-reel Lasky Paramount is
the feature at the Strand Theatre
next Monday evening, Feb. 10.

STILL MORE INVESTIGATION OF THE
MEAT AND CATTLE INDUSTRY.

The meat and cattle industry Is being nvesti.
gated again. Not by the government but by a
battery of experts" who want 10 discover why
meat isn't selling cheaply as it did twenty
years ago. The key 10 this situation can be
found right around Price, because conditions
here are very similar 10 those throughout the
entire nation. Except those who raise hogs and
cattle more or less exclusively. little effort is
made TO produce the maximum number of ami
mails that the land or conditions would permit
On the cattle ranges there is the perennial
complaint that the packers and commission
houses are TO blame for not encouraging greater
production; that prices are not what they should
be considering the price the consumers pay for
meat; that the profits from grains are greater
than from producing beef cattle under the pres
ent machinery Of distribution, and that the
ranges are being constantly cut up into farms.
The truth is that the production of cattle has
Jagged far behind the increase in population or
consumption. And if there were not something
radically wrong in the business this would not
be the case. Cattle and hogs are sent to market
from the vicinity of Price or in this section of
Eastern Utah constantly, but il would seem that
the number is nothing as compared with the de-
mand for beef.
As il u.s. importations are likely to be a feature
