For tonight only Red Feather features present Jack Mulhall in five reel comedy drama. For Friday and Saturday the chief offering of the 18th episode of the Neglected Wife" starring Ruth Roland and Ralph Bottomley.
 The vaudeville bill this week is one of unusual merit and is winning favor each night with the audiences. The three acts this week are the best that have graced the local stage in some time.

PROGRAM OF STARS
 ON FOX'S SCREEN

It does not require the services of an advance agent to boost the merits of the offerings on the present Fox pro- gram. The only difficulty lies in dis tingutshing which picture is the more worthy of headline honors, as there are two big five and six-reel features on the bill, together with a new chap ter of the wild-fire serial, "The Fatal Ring" Probably the most popular subject will be the return engagement of the immortal Theda Bara in her most daring six-reel production, "Un- der Two Flags" adapted from the book of the same name by the we'll known novelist, Ouida. Miss Bara's of Cigarette, the daugh- ter of the regiment in Algiers,-whoi is but a vampire-is one that will finger long in the hearts and minds of her hosts of admirers. It Is at the insistent request of the Fox patrons that the management has brought this picture back, and in order to make the occasion a bigger one, there will be presented in the same show, the latest f1ve-part World pro- auction, a strikingly unusual drama With a kind of Dr. Jeckyl-Mr. Hyde

Pay a Dollar a Week
By ADELE GARRISON

against the white background of the l room, and assented heartily.
 indeed they are," answered sim cerely. I'm so glad he sent them. - T Choose to Tell You"
 I spoke nothing but the truth, and with the words there came to me a remembrance of another time when I had stood in this same living room and listened to Lillian's voice telling of the roses Dicky had sent her. Then there had been hot rancor, bitter rev sentiment, jealousy, in my heart to- ward her. Now with my realization of the real meaning of my husbands friendship for her, Of the wonderful thing she had done for him. I had room for nothing in my soul but glad ness that he should have atoned for his rudeness to her-for I guessed that he had been rude-by this gift of roses.
 Lillian patted my hand.
 What dear you are!" she said irrelevantly, and then in an altered tone. Wouldn't you like to know how I'm going to circumvent our fiendish little feminine friend? ?- there's alliteration for you"
 Her tone was lightness itself, butA there was feverish spot in each cheek, and her lips had the thin line around them that always mean ten- sion with Lillian. I saw that she was really concerned despite her air of frivolity.
 'I would like to know whatever YOU choose to tell me- I answered quietly.
 And I choose to tell you everv->I thing" she answered quickly T wasn't going to have my dinner spoiled by any little dope f1end in this world or any other, so I called up Dicky, told him to round up two or three good private detectives, really good ones, who will not only be equal to any emergency, but who can be relied on to keep their mouths. shut. Dicky happens to know some crackerjacks, and he Is going to sta tion them around the house where they'll do the most good Nobody will ever be the wiser, and if the AL lis person tries to pull off any funny stunts-well, I feel sorry for her, that's all."
 Her voice held quiet menace that made me shiver. l am very fond of Lillian Underwood, she is the best friend I have, but sometime I glimpse / bit of recklessness in her of which do not quite approve.
 I may misjudge her, but am afraid that in the cause of some one she loved she might not always be quite scrupulously ethical in the methods she employed to aid them

What N1adge Told Lillian About Her Dinner-Guard Plans.

When I realized that Lillian had telephoned to Dicky for aid in keep ing possible tragedy, certain incon- venience, in the shape of Mrs. Allis, away from the dinner she was giving in Robert Savarin's honor, a little thrill of gladness ran through me. It does not matter how angry, justly or not, I may be at my hus- band, nor how sorely he may have disappointed me, if any emergency or danger comes. I long for his pres ence. It isn't so much a longing for protection-I have always been rather self-reliant-but a feeling that goes to the very roots of life itself, that in times of danger or sorrow we should be together sharing whatever might come wonder if this is merely a phase of my own temper ament, or if other wives share this feeling?
 l knew from Lillian's tone that Dicky would be strictly con the job," one of her favorite expressions, and my personal fear of Mrs. Allis changed to uneasiness for Dicl1y, al- though I knew that she had no ami mostly against him, that all her vials of wrath were reserved for my head.
 ''Is Dicl<y Coming?"
 As soon as I could do so, after Lillian came back into the living room and Robert Savarin and Alfred Durkee joined us, I drew her aside where the others could not hear us.
 'Is Dicky coming tonight?" l asked.
 She looked at me keenly
 Of course he is.' she answered, although he certainly was cross enough at both you and me this morning. The well-known bear with the sore head had nothing on the Dicky-bird. He sulked all the way into town. But he evidently repeated this afternoon, for he sent me all these roses. Aren't they wonderful? ?" / I looked around at the splashes of royal color the crimson roses made
