He said "rahthuh bettuh" for rather

was doing. Later. Lucy Knocked him
to George, and George refused to
smile: he somewhat inclined TO such
recommendations, himself. This inclina.
ton was one Of the things that he had
acquired In the four years.
What else he had acquired, 1t might
have puzzled him to state, had any

Torrance; then 1t would evaporate ut.

disturbed. George, like his "crowd,"
not only preferred "being things" to
"doing things" but had contented him'
self with four years Of being things
as a preparation for going on being

pressed him for his friends probable

superior and beautiful to be, George
raised his eyebrows slightly, meaning
that she should have understood with.

"Oh, family and all that-being gens

Lucy gave the horizon a long loukt
but offered no comment.
"Aunt Fanny doesn't look much bet
ter" George said to his mother, q few
minutes after their arrival. on the
night they got home. Doesn't she get
over 1t at all? I thought she'd feel
better when we turned over the insur'
ance TO her-gave 1t to her absolutely
without any strings to 1t. She LOOKS
about a thousand years oldi"
"She looks quite girlish, SOMETIMES
though" his mother said.
"Has she looked that way much

"Not so much" Isabel said thCught

"Pm sure I didn't have 1t so badly

as they strolled on through the COM

Eugene laughed. "You need only
three things to explain all that's good

"Well, Mister Bones, of these three

"All of Them" said Eugene.
George took no conspicuous part In

Lucy. What his crowd had gone In for

an astonishing reliability which they
all seemed to have attained in matters
relating to musical comedy, they had
not gone in for anything. Certainly

George noticed that the Majors

they drove up the street, and that he
seemed much feebler than during the

George Immediately seized pen and
paper. plaintively but vigorously re-
questing Lucy not to imagine him with
a beard, distinguished or otherwise,
even in the extremities of age. Then,
after inscrfbing his protest in the mat
ter Of this visioned beard, he con-
cluded his missive in a tone Modified
to tenderness, and proceeded to read a
letter from his mother which had
reached him simultaneously with
Lucy's. Isabel wrote from Asheville,
where she had just arrived with her
husband:
'T think your father looks better al

ENTERTAINING BILL
AT LYRIC THEATRE

The bin for the last half of the week
at the Lyric theatre is very entertaining.
with lots of music, dancing, and snappy
comedy.
Rome and Cox. a very tall. very pretty
girl, and her coupon are happy cou-
pie who certainly know how to make
their feet behave. They pull some com
edy dancing, with lines between, and
leave the stage with everybody their
friend.
The four Bangards, with their music,
make people wonder why talent runs in
such punches. These clever actors can
play any sort of musical instrument
They begin with a couple OF xlyophones,
a piano and violin. And jump from one
instrument to another.
A clever sketch, about woman VINO
didn't want her daughter to grow up, is
entitled Moonlight Madness" 1t is
merely a case of a woman who hated to
see her daughter take her beaux away
from her.
The "Jazzemup Jackies," boaSting a
very good tenor voice in the lot, a won
derful pianist, and some clever songs and
stunts, by the third party, certainly keep
things lively.
The Three Ifarvards" are wonderful
specimens of Amt Nature Just Grand"
What this trio can't do in about 10 minu-
utes isn't catalogued in vaudeville.
The news pictures are of more than or
binary interest, and complete the most
excellent bill.

PROMPT ACTION OF
HENRY JENKINS SAVES
BOY FROM INJURIES

Henry L. jenkins, proprietor of the Jen-
kins Taxicab company, probably saved
the life of Richard Loften, the 6-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. w. D. Loften, 3017
Fifth avenue, north, yesterday morning
about 11:30 o'clock.
According to bystanders, the boy was
knocked down by an automobile driven
by Claude Moore. negro chauffeur at
Fourth avenue and Twentieth street, but
escaped being run over by the auto. Di-
rectly behind the automobile was horse
driven cab, and just as the horse was
about to trample on the PROSTATE form
of the boy, Mr.. Jenkins jumped in front
OF the horse and succeeded in picking
the boy UP and carrying him to place of
safety.
When the boy was knocked down by the
auto he was somewhat badly bruised, and
the compact with the paving stunned him
for the time being. The driver of the
cab was unaware of the accident to the
boy and was driving on. But for the
presence of mind and prompt action of
Mr.. Jenkins. witnesses say the boy would
have undoubtedly been severely injured
by the horse.
The boy was taken to McAdory's in
Urinary in Johns ambulance and it is
understood his injuries are not severe

ed on a charge OF reckless driving

81 LOVE YoU-JEFFERsoN

That a farce can be possessed OF
high laughing power without resort
ing to the suggestive amours OF de-
linquent husbands and unfaithfu!
wives. that it can thoroughly amuse
without offering a blush with every
smile, is amply demonstrated in G. M
Anderson's production of William lie
Baron's refreshing farce COMEDY,
which comes to the Jefferson toniSn'
and tomorrow night and tomorrow
matinee.
Mr.. lie Baron pays tribute to the
intelligence of those lovers OF hSh'
comedy and deft. amusing character
ization in Il Love You" He PERMITS
his pen to indulge in none OF the
shady innuendoes and thin-ice domesuc
episodes upon which so many OF the
farces of the past two seasons nave
been built. That such departure IS
appreciated by the average playsoer
is attested by the fact that practically
every critic in New York and Chicago
commented on the absence of vulS4r-
itv il. 81 Love You" The whole fanny
can visit this play without fear.
