As a desperate man determined to win back his wife and fortune from a clique of devilsh schemers, he locks himself in an office with these men and there is staged an encounter of brains and muscle, the like of which the screen has never produced The fight is one of the many intense and thrilling scenes in this wonderful pro- ductiOn now playing at FoX'S theater

Silversand Lake, Wednesday Night. My Own Dear Joan:
 We have had the talk-Eric Wallis and I.
 "If you only knew" he said when a little cove of the lake in his canoe. how I have wanted to tell you about-Mary Kymbal.
 Prom that first week down at Lively Beach when l was still only half recovered from that helI-on- earth that was the war, and you res Cued me from the guests of the hotel, | have been on the brink of giving you the story. I knew you would understand and might help me nn- tangle it.
 "Why didn't you tell me? Was it fair not to-"
 ''Perhaps it wasn't fair to you. But the story was HERS"
 Yours, too, wasn't it?"
 "Yes and no. For such stories are more a part of a woman than of man. You know the old line: Love is of mans life a thing apart; 'tis Woman's whole existence
 T was a soldier in the thick of the fight. Dorothy-no one who has not been through that carnage dreams of what it does to you. It alters your whole viewpoint on life. It makes everything else seem small. Nothing else seems to matter one way or an other, even in love.
 Tt is horrible even to think back to those days. But Mrs. Kymbal has told you the story. It is her secret no longer l must tell my side of it. and let you judge-no matter how harshly you condemn me.
 "I wonder if you understand, Dor othy, the feelings of a man who has been rocking in the mud and ,horror of the front line, not seeing a decent woman for months, not having mouthful of dainty food or a clean bed, not hearing a word of anything but soldier talk and hospital clamoi Then suddenly coming to som ebOdy's home in the loveliest part of England. Being clean and cared for and fussed over. Seeing a lovely woman with gentle voice. cultured speech and tender touch at your side always eager to serve you, ready with praise and sympathy
 My whole being seemed to melt in gratitude. l was as weak as child and as happy. Thankfulness and love were in my heart They went out to her. She looked to me like an angel, a goddess, everything that was beau- tiful and good.
 When I learned how unhappy she was, my heart yearned to her more than ever. If there was anything [ thoroughly understood, it was suffer ing. I had lived with tragedy. To stop the trouble in the world seemed the One Great Thing in life.
 "Do you understand me. Dorothy did not tell myself, This woman loves me, I love her; I must prove that I love her by helping her, be- friending her No. For love in itself

1 tell you, was out of my thoughts.
 Here was someone who had helped me beyond the power of words to telS and now she needed help. She be- came in my mind a part of the worlds vast tragdy.
 "I cant tell you exactly what the end of it was. There seemed to be no end. I got well and went back to the front. Gradually the months in which she had been so knitted into my life became plotted and blurred in the re- neWed struggle.
 She wrote-I got two or three let ters filled with expressions of devo- tion and wild plans which 1 only half understood. never realized she meant to leave her home, her-hus- band-everything- do the thing which she has done. I am not excus- ing myself. I loved her Or thought, I did-perhap ps l still do, in way that is half gratitude, half pity"
 "Oh Eric" fairly burst from me out of the pain his words caused, gratitude and pity aren't enough and yet you must do it-you must stand by her and keep whatever prom ises you made"
 He looked at me a moment like a man who has been shot and is going to fall
 All right his voice was a whis- per- ''if you ask it.'
 My head throbs too terribly, dear, to write more tonight.
