CHAPTER VII.
Each In His Own Trail.


CINCE nothing in this world is abso-
lutely immutable - the human
emotions least of all perhaps
Billy Louise did not hold changeless
her broken faith in Ward. She saw it
broken into fragments before the evil
dence of her own eyes and the frag-
nents ground to dust beneath the
weight of what she knew of his past
things he had told her himself. So she
thought there was no more faith in
him, and her heart went empty and
aching through the next few days.
But, since Billy Louise was human
and a woman-not altogether because
she was twenty-she stopped after
awhile, gathered carefully the dust Of
her dead faith, and, like God, she be-
gan to create. First she fashioned
doubts of her doubt. How did she
know she had not made a mistake,
there at that corral? Other men wore
gray hats and rode dark bay horses;
other mep were slim and tall, and she
bad only had a glimpse, after all, and
the light was deceptive down there In
the shadows. When that first doubt
was nodded and she had breathed into
1t the breath of life so that it stood
sturdily before her she took heart and
created reasons, a whole company of
them, to tell her why she ought to give
Ward the benefit of the doubt. She
remembered what Charlie Fox had said
about circumstantial evidence. She

made.
So she spent other days and long,
wakeful nights. And since it seemed
impossible to bring her faith to life
again just as it had been, with the
glamor Of romano and the sweetness
of pity and the strength Of her wi in
nocence to make it a beautiful faith
indeed, she used all her innocence and
all her pity and a little of romance and
created something even sweeter than
her untried faith had been. She had a
new element to strengthen it. She
knew that she loved Ward. She had
learned that from the hurt it had given
her to lose her faith in him.
That was the record of the inner
Duly AOulSS WAlCA hO OhO OfCA 90
The Billy Louise which her little world
knew went her way unchanged except
in small details that escaped the no.
tice of those nearest her. A look In
her eyes for one thing; a hurt, ques-
tioning look that was sometimes re-
bellious as well; a droop of her mouth
also when she was off her guard; a sad,
tired little droop that told of the weight
of responsibility and worry she was
carrying.
Ward observed both the minute he
saw her on the trail. He had come
across country on the chance that she
might be riding out that way, and he
had come upon her unawares while
she and Blue were staring out over the
desert from the height they had attain
ed In the hills.
"'Lo, Bill!'' he said when he was
quite close and held himself ready to
meet whatever mood she might pre-
sent.
She turned her head quickly and
looked at him, and the hurt look was
still in her eyes; the droop still show
ed at her lips. And Ward knew they
had been there before she saw him.

LYRIC

Take a Chance" a comedy of un- usual value for laughter producing purposes, will be the attraction at the new Lyric theatre this week, begin ming with the matinee this afternoon. The production will be interpreted in the usual perfect style of the famous Poi Players and succession of ex- cellent performances can be antici- pated. The entire cast will partici- pate with Miss Warbda Howard and Dudley Ayers, the popular leading people of the Players, in the leading roles which is in itself an assurance of success.
 Take Chance" is a comedy pure and simple but before the final cur tain it develops into a rollicking farce which will keep the audience in roars of laughter from beginning to end. Take a Chance is the story of a young man who is in love with a girl but because she is in love with money he has no chance to win her. Some thing happens which gives him the chance he is looking for and he takes it, although it is a little bit shady. He marries the girl but when she learns that she had been duped she leaves him but he follows and in the end the women folk in the story are in love with him and she is glad to claim him are her husbani.
 There will be two performances daily as usual, matinee and evening, and it is suggested that all who in

same time the brain must not be neglected. Many gymnast has men tai abilities often lacking in the or dinary man. He has to understand some geometry and mathematics, else how can he calculate the exact dis tance of 8 jump, a fall or a somer- sault.
 The Hagenbeck- Wallace Show is one of the most famous circus insti- tutbons in the world. Nearly 1000 em- ployes travel with the show, while 1OS advance men travel ahead, advertis- ing the circus. Three railroad trains
 are needed to transport the show from city to city. In the daytime twenty two tents house the big circus, cov-
 ering a small-siZed farm. One hun dred and twenty-five head of blooded horses are used in the performance. Five hundred head of draft stock are used for moving the ponderous red wagons.
 1 A threeAmiie-long street parade will open the circus festivities. It will leave the show grounds at 10 o'clock
 on the day of the exhibition. Per fornances will be given at ? and 8 P. m. The doors of the Hagenbeck zoo
 win be opened an hour earlier.

PLAZA

Once more Charlie Chaplin comes into his own in new film, the first to be released in many months, the only one he has thus far made since signing with the National Exhibitors Circuit, and it's in three reels with laughs from the start piled atop one another until the final scene.
 The title of the picture is "A Dog Life,'' and, we may say, oo-starred with Chaplin besides his leading lady, is a clever little mongre1 with almost human intelligence. It is a big fea- ture at the Plaza for the week.
 The kind of dance hall for which Coney Island, New York Bowery and the Levee of Chicago were famous some years agp, is the featured scene in the picture and the incompatible Charlie has turned himself loose among an aggregation of desperajdos that would have given the shivers to the notorious J. James himself. And he goes in single-handed without gun or knife, trusting his safety to his own cleverness and the dubious pro- lection of his faithful mongrel.
 It's a scream every second and there's going to be some fun trying to get into the Plaza during its run unless a goodly crowd get there early for the first showing at the begin ming of the performance.
 The vaudeville program has also been given unusual attention, and '"The Melody Garden" big musical girl novelty with pretentious stage settings will headline that end of the bill There are seven very clever and very fascinating young women in the act and their talent in harmon1zlng the tones of wide variety of mu- sicaI instruments will receive the un- stinted commendation of all music lovers.
 Scott and Kane; Martin Lum and Will Morris will complete the vaude- vile rostrum, and several comedy and scenic films have been selected for showing.

WEST END

Elsie Ferguson's next appearance in an Aircraft picture is in ''The Song of Songs," in five acts from the socio- logical play by Edward Sheldon. Charles Maigne adapted the piece for thes creen, and Joseph Kaufman, who has been particularly successful with plays of this kind. directed the pro- duction. '"rhe Song of Songs" will be the attraction at the West End theatre tonight and tomorrow night. Special matinee Tuesday,.
 Miss Ferguson's greatest laurels were won in emotional plays, and in this photoplay the director and the star have a subject that enables them to demonstrate their talents to the fullest extent. The picture ends in a sensational dramatic climax in which it is said Miss Ferguson's artistry is wonderfully displayed.

Miss Eioise Sticiney, IS years old and pretty, declared to be one of the most remarkable circus riders of this or any other generation, like practi- cally all other performers of the white tops has been literally born in the arena, Miss Stickney repre- sents the fourth generation of a fa- nous circus famiiy---au of whom are riders, The laws of the circus are peculiar Indeed, it would be eonsid- cred aR HnpaFdOna6le offense for performer to marry outside his or her calling; consequently the children have no APportunity to choose any other calling.
 The boys and girls of the Hagen beck Wallace Circus, which comes to Bridgeport, Friday, May IT, number nearly two score. The training of these children begins almost at birth. In the vast majority of cases there is the powerful effect of heredity, which . exercises an influence upon the child and helps it to overcome obstacles to others well-nigh impossible. The chief effort is to create courage and dar- Ing. The muscles must be developed and the lungs eSDandedL but at the

EMPIRE

A third of the popular Blackton Paramount pictures, Sir Gilbert Parker's Wild Youth" will be the attraction at the Empire theatre to- day and tomorrow. Two former Blackton releases, also by Sir Gilbert Parker, have already been completed in the East, "Wild Youth" was filmed in and around Hollywood, California, and it is said that the outdoor scenes are particularly magnificent. The story is one of the eternal call Of youth to youth, and deals with the love of young Orlando Guise, rancher, for the wife of his crusty old neighbor, Mazarine. Their affair seems perfectly hopeless to the two young people, who are both unhappy until Fate, in the shape of certain sphinx-eyed Chinese servant aids them. There is a trial during the course of which it seems that the young man must certainly be con- denned unti1---but we will leave you to see the rest of this extremely thrilling picture for yourself at the Empire theatre.

POLES

Charles Chaplin, the inimitable Charlie" at Polls today in 70 Dogs Life" Probably no picturization of the funny Charlie Chaplin comedy of movement and of situation may com pare with this latest Million Dollar" effusion. Charlie has wrapped him. self into the absorbing work of manu- macturing new climaxes. He has brought to his aid a mongrel dog who makes a dumb appeal for the af- factions of audiences, and there also is a girl.
 Among some of the startling novel, ties of the photoplay is a new giant appearing for the first time on the screen, who is a marvel of Hercu- lanean strength. The new comedy, run in three complete reels at Poli's in conjunction with other vaudeville and photopIay features will afford much new and refined amusement to Bridgeport and for the first half of the week.
 Vaudeville in its excellence has not been forgotten at the big house for "Nana," the terpsichorean wonder of the age will give a full stage exhibi- ton of her graceful art in new and most sensational scenes highly de- veloped by use of sumptuous light ing effects and scenery of a georgeous patterning.
 J. c. Mack and Company, origina- tors of Mother Goose" come with a full cast of players to sing, dance and comedy their way directly to the | men, women and children.
 Kennedy and Nobly, that entrancing pair of vaudevillians, will offer their riotously funny skit, "Cblored Phil osophy." H. Stafford and Company in dramatic bit entitled "The End ot a Perfect Day" will focus the atten- tion of audiences for eleven full min utes, and Young and Wheeler, two men of musical minds, will cater to the aesthetically educated in music as

GARDEN COMMITTEE
 READY FOR SEASON
Public Invited to Make Selection
 Of Plots at Once

The spring gardening season has arrived. Thanks to the efficient work of last years New Britain garden committee under the efficient manage ment of Chairman F. W. Pelton, it is possible to start in earlier this season, and late planting will not be necessary.
 The first step necessary is to get your application in for a garden plot, and the slogan is @fDo it now" The New Britain garden committee held , its initial meeting last night and made plans for receiving applications from now until April 15. It will be noted that the date for receiving applica- tions closes earlier by nearly a month than it did a year ago, and it means that the gardening will be started that much earlier. The Chamber of Comerce rooms will be open from g to 5:30 o'clock for receiving applica- tions, and the blanks will also be given to the school children to take home and returned to the school principals. Everyone who wants the same plot he had last year should specify it on the application card and the sooner the application is in the better the chance of securing the same location as last year. 'tDo it now" is therefore extremely essential if you want the same garden plot you have been having. If your applica- tion is late and you get assigned somewhere else, don't blame the committee. Last years appropriation for gardening was $1,7OO, whereas this year it is $3,00O, and the com mittee hopes to add quite a number ne yNJn c-+ applicants than there were plots to go around.
 The committee decided last night to engage Albin Holmquist again as overseer, as he gave splendid service, and Chairman Herbert V. Camp was authorized to purchase either a new or second hand runabout for MT. Holmquist's use. Last year the com mittee was furnished with a ''hivver'' through the courtesy of Philip Corbin. but this machine is no longer available as it was donated by MT. Corbin to the Charity Organization and the committee had the use of it only for the season. With so much travelinc around as MT. Holmquist has to dc the use of a car is essential George P Spear was elected treasurer ot the committed and he will at once make requisition on the comptrolle1 to have the appropriation turned over to the committee, so there will be nc delay in pushing the garden work.
 Chairman George K. Macauley o1 the garden plot committee is already securing around for plots, and he anG F. G. Vibberts and others associated with him would like to get notice al once of all who are willing to donate land. The deposit for garden plots this year will be $2. The cultivation committee was authorized to secure a tractor and a separator for prepar- ing the plots. The city will be asked to turn over the farm machinery ii purchased for the municipal farm, as the city Is going to retire from the municipal farm business, and all the gardening done will be through the Chamber of Commerce committed by the garden plot method.
 Steps will be taken by E. c. kIl-

PUBLIC WORK IS
 FOUND FOR HUNS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF OCCUPATION. Dec. 21 (By the Asso- cated Press) ).-Thousands of dis charged soldiers throughout Germany are being employed on state projects temporarily. with the idea of keeping the men engaged until conditions be- come more settled Even with this work under way the problem of un- employment persists, but without reaching the critical point that at first was believed by the authorities to be imminent. Many of the discharged soldiers within the American area are being employed by the state on roads or in other work, undertaken primar- fly to keep the men from idleness.
 At Maven the building of a public bath, long contemplated by the citi- zens. soon will be started and several hundred men will be employed.
