How William Trurnbull Carried Out
Madge's Order.

The wild fantastic suspicion which
had flashed into my mind at my first
glimpse of the glove upon the hand
of the peddler in the bizarre disguise
almost fed as through crevice of
the breakfast room door 1 watched
him inspect the catch of the pantry
window and look carefully over the
dining room, the while believing that
Katie and l were both absent from
the kitchen.
The man was but a common burg
lar, I told myself scornfully, as his
inspection of the dining room COM
pleted he returned with the cat-like
tread he had used in entering the
pantry to his waiting attitude beside
the kitchen door. He was probably
making a tour of the village, pretend
ing to sell the crude notions he car
ried in order to gain entrance to as
many houses as possible with a view
to robbing them later on. 1t was
plainly my duty to detain him on
some pretext, and to send for the To-
cal police at once.
And yet, the same psychic impulse
which had driven ME down the stairs
in Katie's wake to see this itinerant
peddler, when ordinarily I would have
sent him some money by Cne girl anu
dismissed him, held me. resolved to
wait for Katie's return to the kitchen
before 1 entered again with the money
for the pencils and small metal pencil
cases I had bought.
I wanted also to be sure that Will
liam Trumbull had time to come
from the barn with the armful of
kindling l had summoned him to bring
in order that 7 might prove false or
true the suspicion I had concerning
the pseudo Italian waiting beside the
door.
'Villum, He Ask
I had not long to wait before
heard the tattoo of Katie's hurried
footsteps entering the kitchen.

FOR 7hedter80erS and Women ReaderS--
OF PROGRAM
AT THE LYCEUM

A complete change Of program will
! greet the patrons at the Lyceum the
/ alter today, and the management gives
! assurance that the degree Of uua1itv
/ found in the bill the first part of the
| week will be continued the last three
/ DAYS also. Now that good shows
have started, il is the intention of
the management to continue the pol
lev and thus warrant q continuation
Of tho excellent patronage that was
received Monday and Wednesday.
Yesterday afternoon and last evening
two huge crowds Were packed into
the theater, every seat being taken
and every mite OF standing room be-
ing also occupied. With that sort of
cooperation being received, the fact
that the public appreciates the efforts
being made to give only the best all
the time is realized, and the manage
ment is greatly heartened and urged
on to greater efforts
AS a result, view this program to
be presented today, Friday and Sat
urday: Chadwick e. Taylor, Lewis &
Hurst, and the Aeroplane Girls These
three acts are top-notchers and the
way in which they are to be present.
ed will have no bearing on their COM
parative merit, because each one in
itself is feature act, and capable of
heading any theater bill Reports of
the work of the persons connected
with the three days show are very
favorable and prompt the manage
ment to assure it's patrons Of a high
class, top notch, A-No. 1 bill from ton
to bottom.
Chadwick & Taylor, man and a
woman, present black face talking
and singing skit. They are whirl-
winds from beginning to end, and put
over their stuff with a punch. Lewis
& Hurst present an italian act that
has brought audiences with them
everywhere they appeared. Both are
masters of the italian dialect and
bring the very essence Of onions and
macaroni. These two men will have
everyone who sees them yelling with
JOY. The big feature will be the
Aviation Girls, a distinct novelty. The
girls will offer something different in
the entertainment line and should
prove a capable headliner.
Just to show that no piker methods
are to be employed, two star motion
pictures will be on the program, Will
liam S. Hart, one Of the biggest favor
ties that ever was flashed on a
screen will be seen in "a Desperate
Chance" and Fannie Ward, she Of
the curls and the smile (you remem-
Der herr will also be seen in "On The
Level" Ordinarily these two pictures
would in themselves provide COM
plete program, and with the three
vaudeville acts, startlingly excellent
list is provided.

KEENEY HEADLINER

There are any number of baseball
players who have failed to make good
as footlight favorites. in fact the

away from the limelight and glamour

FATTY ARBUCKLE
OUTGUNS GUNNER

Shades Of Wild Bill Hickox, Bat
Masterson and Al Jennings. Wild
Bill may turn over in his grave and
the other two famous Western char
acters who are now peaceful citizens,
will probably hold up their hands in
shock when they see Fatty Arbuckle
in his new comedy "Out West" which
he produced at the Balboa studios at
Long Beach.
Never has there been such shoot
ing in the annals of the West. Fatty
does stunts with his irons that would
put the most respected two gun man
to shame. Jesse James might have
been a law-abiding pacifist if Fatty
had been tanning his six-shooters
when the eminent desperate was en-
gagged in the pastime of separating
money and such
Some very unwise Indians discover
Fatty dying of thirst in the desert
where he had been hurled off a. freight
train by heartless brakemen-and
they chased him The revived COM
edian led them to a precipice, 1eaped
off, rolling down a 800 foot slope and
was swept into the Last Chance bar in
the mining camp of Mad Dog Gulch
by his own momentum.
Ills TASTY entrance knocked Al ST.
John to the floor. 1t might be noted
that Al was busy holding up the
saloon. Then and there Fatty took
charge of the situation and the bad
mans gats. Immediately the big
comedians gun play proved a sensa-
ton. With every bang a pursuing
Indian on the cliffs above bit the dust
and came HURTING over the precipice.
Fatty was shooting without looking,
from the hip and otherwise. Soon
Buster keaton was a restored gam
bling proprietor and Alice Lake was
Salvation Army girl in love with the
brave Fatty Arbuckle. Bill Hart and
Doug Fairbanks will have to fight for
their laurels.

Don't Make Yourself Incapable
Of Service
l was surprised to hear another
woman say she thought that was over
doing things. To my mind that is just
the finest kind of thing to do. No
sacrifice that we can make is too big
unless it defeats it's own end by MAX
ing us incapable of service.
To put all gaeties and pleasures out
of our lives would be a mistake for
just that reason-that it would prob
ably cripple our energy and reduce
our efficiency. But to make those
pleasures as simple as possible, and to
give as much time as we can spare
from home duties and necessary re-
creation to war work of one sort or
another is a splendid thing. Surely
no woman who does that will be sorry
when that blessed day comes when we
can talk Of the greatest war OF the
world as something in the past

BIG DOUBLE BILL
AGAIN AT FOX'S

1t is seldom that such a splendid
array of dramatic and comic talent is
seen at once. and in such widely di-
versified range of subject as is pres
ent at Fox's theater tonight. William
Farnum, the worlds popular hero, is
seen in the seven-part Fox special
super production of Charles
Dickens dramatic story of French
Revolution, "a Tale of Two Cities"
and on the same program is that in
ternationally famous team of stars,
Francis Bushman and Beverly Bayne,
who appear in a mighty interesting
and clever wonder-play that is full
Of excitement and laughter, RED,
White and Blue Blood Farnum's
work in "A Tale of Two Cities" is,
in many respects, by far the most eff
fectiVe of his career, as well as the
most difficult. In the first place, he
plays two distinct parts, that of cap
able and noble Charles Darnay, and
that of Sidney Carton. the unfortun-
ate fellow whose wonderful intelIec-
tual accomplishments are not accom-
panied by sufficient will power to
enable him to battle against his low
er self. And so clever is Farnums
interpretations of these two parts,
that even in those scenes wherein the
two appear together, one would
readily swear that they are two diff
ferent men, for in spite of the physi-
cal and facial similarity the charac-
ter that Farnum puts into the fea-
lures of Darnay are quite different
from the impression he leaves as
Carton. The story itself is too we'll
known to require repetition, but
there is a certain realism lent to it
in it's motion-picture form which
could never be attained in literature.
The scenes of the French Revolution,
and particularly the storming of the
Bastile, that match that enkindled
France, are more than historical
fact. They are intensely, interesting
and thrilling actualities that grip the
heart and quicken the pulse. RED,
White and Blue Blood" is an anus
ing tale of the newly rich and their
efforts to establish themselves among
the nobility. Their is lot of whole
some humor in it. and hearty laughs
are frequent. It sets off the other
feature admirably. A funny Key
stone comedy is another enjoyable
item on the program, as we'll as the
new Ford Weekly. Another double
barrelled program of great merit
will come to Fox tomorrow for two
days. 1t is sufficient only to name
the pictures and the stars to guar
antee the superiority of the enter
tainment. Sonia Markova, that new
Fox star. comes in her latest sue
cess, "A Hearts Revenge" a dra-
matte tale of woman's hatred and
mans payment. William 8. Hart
will appear in one of the best fea-
ture pictures he has yet made, called
1.-THE Apostls of Vengeance One OF
the screamingfy funny Fox Sunshine
Comedies that have made themselves
SO popular in New Britain will also
be on the program. It is called 1.-THE
n-of-a-Gun" and is said ton be
among the funniest Sun-shines that
William Fox ever made. Mutt and
Jeff, those quantity comic creations
of Bud Fisher, are among those
present in ''Hunters,'' and the third
episode of Vengeance and the wo-
man." with the latest issue of the
new Pathe News will complete the
show, which will run continuously on
Saturday.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE.
BY ADELE GARRISON

heard her pause and knew she was
looking at the waiting man outside.
Then she came through the pantry
and went on into the dining room,
evidently in search of me. AS noise
lessly as possible I slipped from my
hiding place behind the breakfast
room door and followed her into the
, dining room.
did you find William ?" T whis-
pered, putting my lips close to her
, ear.
He come right away qveeck,' Katie
| answered, also in a whisper. Then
with a sudden chuckle she added,
'Villum, he ask me If you want heem
bash dat guys head in for heem. He
bring one beck stick along. He say
he have eet handy if dat guy gets
funny. I tink he COON now already
YET
pushed Katie aside and fairly
flew to the kitchen door. l had had
experience with William Trumbull's
turbulence, especially when my half
witted old protege thought I was in
danger. 1 didn't wish him to get into
any controversy with the man at the
door, although I had a secret feeling
of relief at the assurance that Will
liam's strength and devotion were at
hand.
With his arms full of kindling Will
liam was just coming up the steps Of
the kitchen porch as + reached the
door. If the man at the door had
been watching him instead of fur
lively cycling me his suspicious Of
something unusual would have been
aroused.
Words That Betray
For William, his vanity and self
importance tickled to the utmost by
the commission I had sent him, was
wearing a most portentous expression
a cobination of cunning and deter
mination. AS soon as he saw me he
began to wink and nod his head and
to screw up his face in a series Of
signals designed to show me that he
understood my message asking him
to stumble accidentally SO that he
would hit the peddler's anonymously
gloved hand.
Even with my terror OF the man be-
fore me I had hard work to keep my
face free from smiles. But I fatter
myself [ kept it absolutely express
sionless as I spoke.
Put that kindling in Katie's wood
box, William,'' I said, land then get
another load"
AS I spoke I moved to one side of
the door SO that William, in order not
to disturb me, would have to walk on
the right side Of the pseudo peddler.
Then I held my breath, f1guratively
and actually, as William, all the i'm
portance of his commission written
on his face, started to pass the man,
stumbled, letting some of the kindling
fall, and adroitly managed to strike
his hand smartly, but with every ap
pearance of accident, against the
gloved hand of the peddler.
The effect was electrical. The man
jumped as if a bullet had struck him,
an agonized expression crossed his
face, and he fairly spat two words at
William-two words similar to the
one I had heard in Lillian's study.
From my lips burst an exclamation,
suppressed almost as it escaped, put
still distinctly audible to the enraged
man. He turned abruptly, cast one
glance into my face, where he must
have read recognition, and then turn
ing. took to his heels, not toward the
street, but down toward the pond,
which was the rear boundary of our
place and that owned by the Dur
KEGS.

KING ASSIGNS REASONS
FOR SIGNING PEACE PACT
Rumanian Ruler Says to Have Re
sisted Meant Exhaustion to Point
of Destruction.

AMSTERDAM. June 1s.-Rumania
concluded peace because to resist
further would have exhausted the
country to the point of destruction,
said King Ferdinand. in his speech
from the throne at the reopening of
the Rumanian parliament at Jassy
Monday. The peace treaty was then
submitted to the legislature for ap-
proval
The king said that Rumania had ac-
cepted the peace forced upon her as
a necessary condition to her existence.
The treaty manifestly imposes pain
full sacrifices, but the Rumanian peo-
pie would examine it with the manli-
ness which an exact comprehension
of the interests of the state demands.
He alluded with satisfaction to the
fact that the war had brought back
the Moldavian land, thrown the Bes-
sarabian people into the arms of Ru-
mania and restored friendship with
the central powers Good relations
with other countries were still main
tanned and plans were on foot to re-
sumo normal diplomatic intercourse.
Queen Marie, who has opposed the
peace treaty, did not appear at the
opening of parliament. and the diplo-
matte corps was not invited to attend.

Railroad Administration Announces
| Echedule on Exports and Imports,

The railroad administration yester-
day ordered that new rates oQ export
and import freight on basis of %
per cent or more increase over ex-
listing rates to become effective July

The new order modif1es the recent
rate order which cancelled existing
export and import tariffs and applied
domestic rates to that traffic.
1t was found that domestic rates
applied to exports and imports in
many cases were unreasonably high.
II carried out, the order would have
provided for many increases Of SEQ
