His love is not the love of s1 boy but one of a man who has solved many problems of life. Then the past returns in the person of Rich ard Tretman, who has just finished a 10 years sentence in prison.
 By a strange coincidence the play never reached Broadway although on tour for a while. The production of

"TE1E WOLE'' AT THE PALACE.

The assertion that murder will out,' taken in it's fullest meaning as a conviction that hgh moral crimes cannot be hidden forever is a power- full ingredient of the latest Vitagrap pn super-tilm "The Wolf.' This is a pcturization of the famous play by Eugene Walter.
 Earle Williams is the star. The film will be shown at the Palace thea ter on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
 Even in the tracl1less forests where men dwell far apart and where it would seem things may happen without leaving a trace, it is revea led that crime somehow cannot be buried.
 William Macdonald, an American civil engineer, comes into this region He leaves in his wake a betrayed wife and family. and finally half breed Indian girl, who has gone into the snow and died, a victim of his treachery. The death of the Indian girl, according to the ordinary laws of chance, and the secret of MacDon- aids wife and family appear to be incidents swallowed in oblivion.
 But even in the trackless forests the essage Of crime and wrong car- ry like echoes from a mountain top.

JAMES \. HEiRNE URGED VIM.
 HODGE, TO BECOME PLAYWRIGHT

That his preceptOr. the late James A. Hoarne, was directly responsible for his writing plays was revealed the other day by William Hodge, the actor. who comes to Parsons theater Monday in his latest work, "The Guest of Honor" How it came about was related by MT. Hodge as follows.
 Ut began when I was playing at the olu Park theater, Boston. The play was Sag Harbor' and I was play Ing opposite James A. Hearne. Now Healne had all sorts of peculiarities. we used to call him the icy-eyed | humorist. He said the most awful things to you with a face like cL block of wood and you could only tell by his left eye whether he was joking or not. When he was amused that eye would shine in q funny suppressed way, not a bit like an or dinary twinkle.
 Now Hearne is the only man who ever made me laugh on the stage He was always adlibbing-that is putting in stuff that wasn't in the play--and it was usually so funny and unexpected that I'd break out laughing. Every time I did I'd swear Id not laugh again but I did just the same.
 One day he called me after the show and lectured me for laughing. l told him I'd not do it again but when the next night came and he = pulled something entirely different | couldn't control my mitth. So l got another call down.
 That kept up for a number of nights until finally [ got real mad. The next time he adlibbed I came right back at him with some adlibbing of my own. We. had it back and forth there on the stage and neither of us realized how long we took. When we came off the stage manager astounded us by telling us we had been at it for nearly half an hour.
 ''Stil the adlibbing didn't stop. Every night MT. Hearne would spring some new ones and I'd come back with some of my own. He set a stiff pace but 1 managed to stay with him. He never said a word about the thing off the stage until one night he stopped me and said:
 'F'reeman-that was my name in the play-why don't you write play?'
 'I wish I could" I said.
 "'You can,' Hearne said. I've been improvise dialogue the way you can, can write plays Now try it.
 "So l did, first a story and then plays. l like it. Everybody likes to write. It's human nature.'

WAS JUST STARVING"
Topeka Woman Says She Could
Hardly Eat Anything.
Gives TanIac Credit For First
Relief in Twelve Years.

For twelve years / suffered SO from
stomach trouble that 1 could hardly
eat anything and was just starving to
death when 1 began taking Tanlac and
now I am eating with a relish and
everything eat agrees with me- said
Mrs. Ida K Johnson, who lives at No.
Ills Kansas av- nue., Topeka, to
Tanlac repreS antative a few days ago
Mrs. johnson has been a practical
nurse and her experience as such
qualities her to speak of the good
qualities of Tanlac. especially with ref
erence to her own case.
MY condition." continued Mrs
johnson, was so bad that 1 had been
told there was . hope for my ever
getting we'll I was troubled a great
deal with violent headaches and what
l ate would sour on my stomach and
l would get awfully nauseated and this
feeling would worry me for two and
three days on a stretch, and 1 would
have to take to my bed and stay there
till the attack wore off had so little
energy 1 wasn't able to do my house
work and just had to drag myself
about the house from day to day
no ,ng against hope to find some sort
of relief from my troubles but none
of the medicine 1 took helped me.
81 was in just this condition when
began to hear about Tanlac and the
good that it had d~le for so many
people who seemed to be troubled like
was, so 1 decided to give it a trial
After had taken one and a half bot
ties 1 began to feel better and now
am not troubled with my stomach and
feel stronger than hav for years and
am going to keep taking Tanlac for
while longer.
KNOWING what L have been through
in the way of suffering all these years
and the good that Tanlac has done me.
know that it is a great medicine,
and one that will help anyone that is
SUI ing from stomach trouble"
There is no season the year when
Tanlac can be taken to better advan-
tage than right now. In the spring
time all mankind is in need of an up
building tonic. There is nothing more
invigorating to a run down system
than Tanlac. 1t is not only success
full in the treatment of troubles like
Mrs johnson suffered from. but it will
prove invaluable to persons suffering
from the after effects of pneumonia, la
grippe, catarrh and bronchial troubles.
Tanlac is a powerful reconstructive
tonic and always produces most graft
flying results.
Tanlac is sold in : ipeka by Tully-
Mcfarland Drug Co.-Adv.
