Why Lillian Insists That Madge k
 main a Few Days With Her.

Katherine Sonnot and I stared in wide-eyed amazement at Lillian Un- derwood when she declared that if her surmise was correct as to the source of the money which enabled Grace Draper to come back to this country the girl was as dangerous in New York as Bengal tiger would be.
 For there was something in our friends voice that awed us, which gave me, at least an impression of something big, altogether beyond us. the key to knowledge of which Lil- lian held Fortunately Katherine and l generally know when to keep silent, and we closed our lips upon our as- tonishment, waiting until Lillian should choose to explain her words.
 She sat down again in a low chair facing the fire after she had made her dramatic declaration, cupped her chin in her hands in the fashion so familiar to me, and stared at the fire. It was the attitude she always assumed when there was a problem to be solved.
 It was fully five minutes before she spoke again. When she did. her words came slowly, as if she were weighing each one before she uttered 1t.
 Girls" she said, there are some things l can tell you about this busi- ness and some things I cannot. I want you to trust me, and to feel that whatever evasions I make are not made because l don't trust you fully, but because I am in honor bound not to disclose anything more than I tell you. And I must ask your promise not to reveal even the things I tell you which seem most trivial. and the prohibition includes your husband, Madge, and your fiance. Katherine.
 ~ Am a Nurse.
 She smiled and I gave her a lov- ing smile in return.
 You have my promise" I said earnestly.
 But Katherine drew herself up proudly.
 1T am a nurse," she said. and it was as if she had said, "I am clergy man." I knew the high pride in her profession that was hers. She evil dently felt that she needed to give no further pledge of keeping invio- late confidence.
 Lillian's rare tact saved a situation that threatened to become strained.
 "I need no other pledge. my dear,' she said quietly, and the tenscness of Natherine's face relaxed.
 "There have been secret forces at work against our country for a long time," Lillian said slowly, forces whose notifications extend all over the

What is democracy?
 Is it snobbish to be pleased when people to whom you look up go out of their way to show attention to you!
 These are the questions at the ker- mel of a very interesting letter from a letter friend.
 This is the letter:
 The Superintendent Bowed To Her.
 My room mate is an English girl somewhat older than l. This noon while we were at lunch, the Superin- tendent of OUT Public Schools came in and sat at table near us, to- gether with a man with whom he was interestedly talking. However he saw me and we bowed to each other. After he had finished luncheon he came over and shook hands with mo and asked me how l was.
 Now, when I was in High School, this man was Principal but only had occasion to meet him perhaps dozen times in all. He has since been made Superintendent of Schools. This man is a high type of Christian character and has always commanded my deepest respect and admiration. I commented to my room mate after wards what fine thing that was for him to do and how happy 1t had made me feel. And she immediately charged me with being undemocratic. She said if I were democratic l would think nothing of the incident as it was nothing more than he should have done. She said that we who talk so much about democracy do not live up to 1t. We argued on the question for some time, both coming took all the happiness out of the day for me.
 Is She Snob?
 "Now have I the wrong idea of what democracy Is when I love the best that is in people and always try to look for it? And when people that I admire for their high ideals and their fine qualities. even though they occupy higher positions and possess more of the material things of life than I do, show me attention, am 1 that I like 1t?
 What is your answer to that last question reader friends
 Mine is an emphatic No" I Am Not As Good As Anybody.
 If there is anything I hate 1t ia that "I am as good as anybody" at titude which sometimes passes for democracy.
 I know I'm not as good as anvbodv. There are innumerable people to whom I look up because they are bet

IMAGERY WILSON
 AT FOX'S THEATER

People called her Wild Sumac" be- cause the beautiful young gypsy o{ the Canadian Northwest was as un- tanned and unguided in her wild growth her kindred spirit the antelope. But she was not carefree. Into the child's life came peril and
 sudden death, the conflict of rough 1 mon of the woods meeting in the ! throes of primitive passion and hatred. Around her surged a battle of souls, intent in purpose and all but one was blind to the soul of the dainty wood sprite who lived like a gentle flower
 among them. Love came to her
 finally in the form of Jacques Fon-
 taine, and she blossomed forth into
 woman, all tenderness and charm.
 The transformation came when Sumac
 was about to be burned at the stake
 on charges of witchcraft. Around this
 scene the real action of Wild
 Sumac", which closes tWO-days'
 showing at FoX's theater tonight, is
 centered. The thrilling rescue of
 Sumac by her lover, Jacques Fontaine,
 makes this scene one of the strongest
 incidents of a play surcharged with
 big vital issues. It is the picturesque,
 sometimes tragic life of the deep
 woods. It is strong feature and popular with local theater- goers, as evidenced by the reception accorded it yesterday.
 Wild Sumac," Margery Wilson, recently elevated to the rank of Fri 1 angle star has an unusual vehicle in which to delight audiences with her 1 girlish charm and whimsical appeal | to the emotions. She is as refresh 1 ing in her torn burlap garments l the mountain stream in which she ] waded. Throughout the play. but es 1 pecially in the scene where she is tried l by the ordeal of fire, the little actress l enlists the sympathy of everyone who 1 watches these mighty moments from 1 the life story of a mountain rose. Two other subjects of the program 1 are worthy of big mention. First is the new Sunshine Comedy, which is l undoubtedly the funniest two-reeler that has been made in a long time. | Then there is the final chapter of The l Fatal Ring, which is a fitting wind-up
 to that great serial. Among the other
 excellent subjects are Mutt x Jeif
 Pathe News, and a Geo. Ade Fable. TomorroW's feature will be Under
 Handicap" an eight-reel thriller of
 the wild vest in which Harold Lock- 1 wood is starred.

world, forces that have become hum dred, yes, a thousandfold more dan gerous in these few days since Amer ica entered the war. Of course, you as we'll as everyone else know this in a general way, but I happen to have a little special knowledge of it.
 "Why NIince Words?"
 One of the most dangerous nests Is in the country where your father is, Madge. the country from which I am sure Grace Draper has just come. And if she. penniless, as I know her to have been, has been able to make such a Journey. am almost sure that those in charge of that particular section of evil have offered her sufficient money to make it worth her while to enter their employ"
 You don't mean she has become a spy in the employ of her countrys enemies, Lillian?" I gasped, unable to comprehend how any American born woman, interruptions though I knew Grace Draper to be, could possibly sink so low.
 1T mean just that" retorted Lillian 'Wh4 mince words? But, of course, we'll have our work cut out for us to prove it. We don't even know for cer tain that she is in New York, although I'd be willing to wager everything have or ever hope to possess that she Is. And she Is only a tiny part of an organization so vast that to pluck her out of it prematurely while not vital to that organization \might disturb i'm portant plans of the people who are doing their best to trace the filaments of this gigantic spiders web. We shall have to proceed very carefully 1 wouldn't bother especially with her, only am afraid from these clippings. Madge, that she means harm to your father, and means you to guess it."
 ITO my father?" repeated, my lips stiff with terror.
 II may be mistaken" Lillian re- turned quickly, with a glance at me. we can tell better when the next clippings come, as they surely will. It was a clever thought to have your personal mail forwarded to Kath crime. We shall be free of all, spying eyes at Marvin. And now. Mkdge, we must think up some excuse for your staying here for the next few days"
 "Why?" I asked, beWildered
 For one reason. I don't feel it wise to have you out there at Marvin away from me with Grace Draper roaming the country" returned Lillian affec- tionately. 'So think up your excuse, and you and Katherine get ready to come with me this afternoon. If Grace Draper Is in New York there is one place to which I am certain she will go almost every day. We may be able to satisfy ourselves as to her being here"

LYCEUM INSTALLS
 JAZZ ORCHESTRA

Have you taken the opportunity of seeing the greatest western actor now on the motion picture screen? Have you seen the greatest picture of its kind ever released? In other words. have you witnessed that monster fea- ture, 'The Narrow Trail" featuring William s. Hart at the Lyceum thea ter? Today offers the last chance, for the great offering has it's last showing today, the performance being contin uous. Everyone is talking about it, and you should De in on it. Hart is at his best so nothing else need be said. Acting on the experience gained by the enormous crowds that stormed the Lyceum last Saturday and had to be turned away, it behooves prospec- tive attendants today to arrive early.
 The management today announced the greatest innovation since the the.. ater opened, with the engagement of the Jazz orchestra, to furnish musical numbers at each evening perfor- nance next week. With the numbers provided by the orchestra added to the pleasure of the organ numbers, the Lyceums steps into the first rank as muslc-provid1ng theater. Sunday nights program will be notable also
 
 with Her Secret" starring Harry Mercy and Alice Joyce, as the feature. Another big feature not yet chosen, is to be provided, and there will also be several others. smaller but good.
 For next week the management plans to open g, big prize box, offer ing as the attraction for Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday, Dorothy Dalton. the star of ''The Ten of Dia- monds." in "The Price Mark" and on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Geraldine Farrar in ''The Woman God Forgot Miss Dalton. who will be remembered favorably by Lyceum pa irons has in this picture, a role some- what different than her previous en- deavors, and according to critics, scores 8 new high mark.
