Among the many qualities which together blend into that indescribable. inimitable tribute called ''breeding,' is the quality of impersonahty.
 What do I mean by impersonality?
 Well, suppose I explain, first, by giving an example of the opposite; secondly. by giving an example of the thing itself. .
 The man-who- thinks was telling me about a distinctly ordinary young couple who once paid a brief visit to the little Inn where he spends his summers.
 They Fought and Made Up in Public.
 ''They didn't get on well with each other," he said and they were the sort of people who carry on their af- fairs right in public. They fought and recrin1inated and made up, again, all over the place. It was tremend- ousIy amusing at first, but after that it got tiresome, and before they went we were heartily sick of them"
 That's the opposite of what l mean by impersonality.
 Here's what I do mean: Not long ago I was brought into close contact with a family during the illness which ended in the death of their beautiful old mother. Though not intimate friends we were so closely linked by peculiar circumstances that, an hour after she passed away, we had to meet the whole family. One might

have expected to see them broken and fearful, and at any rate conn pletely self-absorbed-as their grief gave them the right to be.
 They Even Smiled.
 But 1t is the hallmark of the finest kind of breeding to realize that one hasn't always a right to all ones rights. ..,.- .s-. ss
 When they appeared, their emo-> tions were under perfect command; there were no traces of tears on their faces; they spoke in pleasant, con- ttoIled voices. They even smiled And, most marvellous of all, the one member on whom the loss fell heav- fest, remem bered to take her usual gracious interest in the things that she knew were interesting to us.
 They Will Not Intrude.
 It was one of the finest examples of that high impersonality which simply will not intrude its personal affairs on others that I ever saw or hope to see.
 It takes self command to achieve this impersonality, and it takes that fine consciousness of others which is the man-who thinks definition of tact

SAXOPHONE GOETHE
 AT KEENEYS THEATER

An excellent show is being offered at Keeneys this week, both in the line of photoplays and vaudeville. The vaudeville bill is one of unusual cali Der, three high-class feature acts be- ing presented, the headliner being the Ten NavasSar Girls, q ladies band of national repute. They are all first class musical artists and, under the leadership of Miss Dial, they play an excellent program of numbers. The biz novelty of the act is furnished by the saXOphOne Octette who win big applause with their saXophone num- Der. A flute and clarinet solo are also well rendered. These girls, with out a doubt, present one of the best musical acts seen here in some time and must be heard to be appreciated. Leigh and La Grace present an act with a novel opening that is altogether different. They go through 8 routine of juggling that, for style, grace and artistic manner, cannot be dupli- cated. Martell, a single entertainer, offers a neat act that is guaranteed 10 please all. The photoplay feature is '"rhc Girl by the Roadside" with Violet Mersereau starred. It IS a story of the "0crct service with an interest ing plot and enough romance to please all. The second episode of ''The Bulls Eye' is shown today and tomorrow, with Eddie Polo in the leading role. The Current Events and other small features complete the show.

In his plotting for me- diums through which to secure both politically and military information, he made very effective use of several society women prominent in New York's upper strata, prior to the dec laration of war by the United states. One of these women maintained in her house for the use of the Imperial German spies, a wireless apparatus of sufficient power to project message to Nauen, Germany. This plant was discovered by the Secret Service and seized. Chief Hymns story teens with revelations of this kind. The principal dramatic rolls are played by King Baggott and Marguerite Snow.

WILLIAM s. HART
 AT FOX'S THEATER

William 5. Hart, who is: credited with reviving the popular interest in Western drama, is not averse to talk ing chances in the productions in which he appears This is strikingly illustrated in 'rHells Hinges," in which he is starred at Fox's today and tomorrow
 In one scene he falls with his horse half way down an almost perpendic- ular sand embankmcnt and demon strates his horsemanship by re- mounting and, safely astridc the an- imal, plunging down to safety. Much to the surprise of the director, the actor executed the feat without scratch. In another scene of this spectacular drama, Hart shows his nerve as well as his ability to ride. The action called for a jump from an embanLment into the saddle of his horse which was waiting below. The camera was placed in position and the actor, at a word from the director, jumped. He struck the sad dle squarely but the horse, taken by surprise, reared and plunged out of the range of the camera. It was then necessary to make the scene again Hart tried and the second at tempt failed. On the third attempt the cameraman exhausted his supply of film thus necessitating a "retal1e." Though Hart was, sore from making the leap he announced his intention of "staying with it'' until the desired effect was obtained, and it was only after he had jumped five times from

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By ADELB GARRISON

Mr. Drake began with his left hand to undo the buttons of his coat.
 I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to help me get my coats off," he said. q must find out what has happened or this blood will be all over my clothing"
 As l leaned toward him he spoke again sharply.
 Be very careful of your own gown. Do you think you can man. age this job?"
 I'm sure I can,' I returned. But please wait one moment l may have something here which will greatly
 simplify matters
 Within the Light.
 For there had flashed into my mind
 a remembrance of the first aid band
 ages which Katherine always kept in
 her knitting bag. It was a hobby
 of hers always to have at hand the simple things which might aid her i'll saving life or preventing useless suf- fering.
 Had she left them thcle when she turned it over to me as camou- hage for the little ammonia gun? | rummag ged in the darkness of the bag, and with g. feeling of thankfulness felt the familiar outlines of the small packages.
 Now, tell me what to do,' l said, as I brought them out of the bag and
 laid them on the seat between us. Fortunately [ have some first aid bandages in the knitting bag" MT. Drake made no comment, but street lamp which we passed just then gave me a glimpse of something in his eyes, eloquent of admiring ap-
 proval, which made my cheeks burn. Just pull off these left sleeves" he said--his left side was toward me- and then loosen the coats so
 I can slip them from the wounded arnl."
 I did as he requested, but in the process I had to put my arm across his shoulders more than once. Through all the tension of the mo-
 ment there shot a half whimsical, half-terrifled vision of what Dicky would say should there be suddenly vouchsafed him a mental photograph of his wife's whereabouts. , The wound proved to be slight one, a grazing of the fleshy part of the upper arm just above the elbow, which accounted for MT. Drake's ig norance of it until the blood trickled down over his hand. l handaged 1t. a bit aw1wardly, yet successfully, and l helped him on again with his coats. 1 He took a small bottle of some fluid, perhaps alcohol, from his pocket, | poured it over his fingers, and wiped | the blood stains from them. Then 1 with the aid of a, pocket f1ashlight he 1 surveyed his clothing and turned it's ! light upon me

How Madge Won Allen Drake's Ad-
 miring Approval.

Allen Drake didn't utter a. word as he hurried me along the upper corridor of the Jamaica station and down the seemingly intermlnable sets of stairs to the outer air.
 When he reached the street he se- lected, with quick, unerring vision, an open space in which no people Wero standing. Making his way toward it he began to talk rapidly, in a low voice, as soon as he was sure no ono was within hearing.
 Act and talk as casually as pos- sible, but in low tones,' he cautioned first Then came the query l had been expecting.
 '"Where is the paper?'
 ! "In my wrist watch,' I returned.
 Good" he commented. Now, ! we'll get into the machine 1 brought ! out here, and go to a hotel dining room a few miles from here, where
 there will be but few people at this 1 time.
 What Drake Discovered.
 II must have time to examine that paper and to determine what is to be | done before l do anything else. l 1 shall be able to do that without de- lection, as you will sec. But even 1 George, the trusted man who drives my machine, mustn't guess the exist 1 ence of such a papcr. So, when 1 we're seated in the machine, wait until we're well upon the road, then 1 get it out while I am talking, and 1 slip it to me silently. The rest l l will attend to-"

 Inside tho Car. | was glad a moment later that
 I had uttered no exclamation. Dicky
 or Harry Underwood, or any other
 man I knew, except, perhaps, Dr. l Pettit would have allowed an eH-
 clamation at least to punctuate the l discovery But MT. Drake whipped
 out a handkerchief, shut his fingers l on it in such q manner that the blood | on his hand was concealed for the ] m momcnt, lifted my traveHnS bag, 1 which he had hastily set down, With 1 his left hand, stepped quickly to my 1 other side, and with only the mur-
 mured words, "Please hurry started

 tination I surmiscd when MT. Drake ! gave him no orders, even a Whls- | pered one, as he helped Us into the i comfortable limousine which he was ! to guide. It wasn't a. luxurious car, nor one to attract any undue atten-
