The wall Of anguish in her voice
went straight to his heart.
"He has succeeded, take my word
for it. They will be in your hands be-
fore many hours have passed"
'Ts he to come to the Tavern with
them? Or am I to meet him"
"Good Lord!' he gulped. Here was
q contingency he had not considered.
Where and when would Sprouse ap-
near with his booty? TT fancy We'll
find him waiting for us at the Tavern.
"But had you no understanding"
''Er-tentatively. The perspiratiOn
started on his brow. He was thinking
of something else: his amazing stu
pidity in not foreseeing the very situa.
ton that now presented itself. Why
had he neglected to settle upon q
meeting place with Sprouse in the
event that circumstances forced them
to part company in flight? Fearing
that she would pursue the subject, he
made haste to branch off onto another
line.
"What is the real object Of the con
spiracy up there, Miss Cameron"
''YOu must bear with me a little
longer, Mr.. Barnes" she said, appeal
ingly. 81 cannot say anything now
"You said that tomorrow night
would be too late. What did you mean
by that?"
She waited few seconds and then
removed her head from his shoulder
He heard the sharp intake of her
breath and felt the convulsive move
ment of the arm that rested against
his. There was no mistaking her sud
den agitation.
IT will tell you," she said, and he
was surprised by the harshness that
came into her voice. Tomorrow morn
ing was the time set for my marriage
to that wretch up there. I could have
avoided it only by destroying myself.
If you had come tomorrow night in
stead of tonight you would have
found me dead, that is all. Now you
understand"
"GoOd God You-were to be forced
into a marriage with-why, it is the
most damnable-"
"ODowd-God bless him was my

stole across the road above Harris
Tavern and made their way through
the stable yard to the rear of the
house. His one thought was to get
her safely inside the Tavern.
The door was locked. He delivered
series Of resounding kicks upon it's
stout face. Revolver in hand, he faced
about and waited for the assault of
the men who, he was sure, would
come plunging around the corner OF
the building in response to the racket.
But there was no attack.
At last there were sounds from
within. A key grated in the lock and
a bolt was shot. The door flew open.
Mr.. Clarence Dillingford appeared in

hair sadly tumbled, his eyes blinking
in the light of the lantern he held
aloft.

Miss Thackeray was awake.
Through the closed door she asked
what on earth was the matter.

There was no immediate response

BREED THEATRE.

Diane of the Green Van" a pho toplay starring Alma Rubens. which is the feature attraction at the Breed theatre today Is a screen version of the story by Leone Dalrymple, which won a si0,000 prize in competition held by a prominent Chicago publishing house. It created a sensation and i'm mediately placed Miss Dalrymple among the foremost writers of mystery and adventure fiction. The production itself is ample proof that the selection was a wise one for historically and pictorially Diane of the Green Van" bears the stamp of class.
 Mitchell Lewis will also be seen in a very powerful Northern picture, Code of the Yukon" taken from the story by Arthur Paul Kelly. This is one of the best Northern pictures ever shown. IL is a story vibrant with the love and hate of the best and the worst people of the great Northwest country

POETRY
TO AN OLD VIOLIN

Could it but speak what strange and
 moving stories, What tales of joy and grief, it would
 unfold, Of faded beauty and forgotten glories: U. love and sorrow in the days of
 oldi Perchance it played the grave and
 stately measure While powdered couples trod the
 mnuet; Perhaps U was beggars only pleas Or helped prince his trouble to for
 get. Ah, violin, we dream and wonder Time with the sweet June roses
 never stays The past is dead; we cannot learn
 more plainly The buried history of forgotten days. Yet. as faint and odorous sweetness
 fingers With iAurd petals, though their
 bloom be fled So, charmed anew by sympathetic fin You nring haunting memory of the
 dead. So, as of old. you speak in tenderest
 fashion, MeliuH with memories of unseen
 years, To raise our minds from worldly care
 and passion. And stir ;he thoughts that lie so
 close to tears. Antony c. Deane. in Longman's Eia9 9az.ne.

AUDITORIUM.

Judging by the crowd that has at tended the showing of Treat Elm Rough" al the Auditorium theatre, Manager Connolly could profitably ex- tend the run on this play. Tom Mix, the star Of the feature, has given motion picture fans many thrills in Treat Elm Rough and besides there ia an excellent love story.
 He rides down steep hill in an empty wagon to batter away the bandits hut, and performs one of ihe most amazing stunts ever seen on the screen-that of bulIdogging the leading steer of a herd of stampeded cattle just as the herd is about to trample hts sweetheart Naturally you would think the girl would express gratitude, but she calls him a cow ard. There is a reason and a gripping one. too.
 Three big acts of vaudeville and Houdini in The Master Mystery, go to make up this great show. Don't fail 10 see it today.
 Coming next Monday and continu- ing all the week. with three complete changes on Monday. Wednesday and Friday, Kings Big Banner Revue.

There win be four complete shows at the Davis today and you cannot afford to miss this big bill of Keith vaude- vile and feature pictures. All three acts are biz time headliners and it is hard to pick the feature. Stoddard and Hynes. in a musical playlet, The Absent Minded Professor, present a rprnedy skit with good music. The ar dtts are accomplished musicians on several instruments and received gen. eral applause. The offering of Sammy Renn and the Cunningham Sisters was a clever singing, talking and dancing act that is way ahead of the ordinary line of rube comedy. Allen and Dog Taxi, present one of the best canine acts seen here in many a day. Watch for the big banner show coming next week.

Isaac F. Marcosson.

No living American writer is so well equipped To speak of the vast prob lems Of Peace and Reconstruction as Isaac F. Marcosson. whose lecture on The War-And After" at Slater hall, Friday evening, April 25th, is arous- ing SO much interest. Although he saw all six allied armies in the field "a very rare experience-he made al the same time a remarkable study of economic conditions which took him to every neutral country in Europe and Co all the belligerent lands except the Far East He was the first man to predict The War After The War" and Is the author of the well known book of that title.
 MT. MarCOsson's knowledge of bus mess conditions gained at first hand during his almost ceaseless war time travelling is of supreme value and i'm portance to the United States as she faces the task of readjustment. Just as he met all the allied generals and premiers so has he had much contact Of capital and commerce. He num- hers among his close friends men like Sir Albert Stanley, president of the British board of trade: Bonar Law, British chancellor of the exchequer; Dr. Christopher Addison, the British minister Of reconstruction; M. Clem- entel. the French minister of com- merce. and all the rest Of that notable group which will shape the future economic destiny of Europe
 The late Theodore Roosevelt said of Mir. Marcosson. He played the part of a straight American in this war. He has done everything in his power to arouse our nation to it's duty. I wish hin Godsppeed with all my heart"
 Mir. Marcosson's acquaintance with big business in the United States is no less complete For years he has been the most brilliant in- ierpreter of the romance of trade and finance. His writings about Wal street won him the confidence of men like Hartman. Archbold and Ryan. It was Mr. MaTcosson who coined that famous phrase the criminal rich.' He is one Of the few writing men who has appreciated the high and necessary place that business has in the romance of the world s work
