 Pathos and suspense are the predom- mating elements in this picture.

Harold Lockwood, as Danny Rowland the wayfarer, whose career was recently cut, who had reached his tremendous popularity on the screen by clean,
 legitimate methods when death cut short his career, typifes the fine young American of culture, physical strength and high minded ambition
 His following had grown so great that Pals First" was selected as the great starring production which would sat isfy public demand II is a great pic ture made from great novel and is a romantic drama revolving around two wayfaring pals, Danny Rowland,

Why Madge Felt Embarrassed at the Thought of Meeting Major
 Grantland.

Capt. Hugh Grantland." l echoed Mrs Gray's words over the telephone with exclamatory increduHty. There must have been something in the way l spoke which awakened the interest of the quick witted little woman at the other end of the telephone, for she shot pertinent query at ne.
 Yes! Do you know him?"
 I was glad that she couldn't see my face, for the question nonplussed me, as, indeed, did this whole question of again meeting Capt. Grantland. My first panic-striCken impulse was to de- ny the acquaintance and invent some excuse to stay at homa from the meet ing. My second saner thought told me that I must do nothing of the kind.
 'T had the privilege of meeting him two or three times,' said, striving to give through my voice the impression that my acquaintance with the officer had been only a casual one, "but, of course, I have read and heard much a bout him. You are indeed fortunate to have him as one of the speakers" An Embarrassing Task.
 And I am fortunate in finding out that you already know him." she re- turned quickly. "No one else whom I know mas ever set eNGS OH HlHl. IN OW I'm going to claim that promise Of yours right away and put you to work. The meeting next Sunday is at 3 o'clock, but 6 few of us are going early to receive the people, greet the speakers, and see that everything is in order. hadn't thought of you in that capacity because you don't know many persons in Marvin But your knowing Major Grantland makes you a connecting link as 1t were. So be sure to be at the hall not later than half after two. Goodbye"
 The receiver at the other end of the wire went on the hook with a de- cided click. I had a shrewd suspicion that clever little Mrs. Gray had pur- posely cut short the conversation thus quickly in order to give me no ck ance to refuse the embarrassing task she had given me.
 For en barra ss11g 1g--even distressing to the extreme-was this bit of work that she had outlined for me. To think that my first meeting with Mai Grantland since inc dranatic--I aI- most said romantic--partinS with him

TAX COLLECTOR JOB
 NOT so ALLURING
AsT emporary Appointec Might Be Defeated at Polls and Then BH
 Put Out in the Cold.

AS all indications are now pointing to the filling of the office of tax col lector temporarily, the matter is be ing discussed in a very business like manner by all probable candidates. There are several men in this city who would gladly come out and ar- nounce themselves as candidates for the position if conditions were differ ent than they are at present. If d man is chosen for the position now he will have to have his name On the city ballot in the election in April. It means that he enters the political field, which will immediately bring home the fact that nothing is certain in that game. If the man chosen now to fill the office temporarily allows his name to be placed on the ballot It the election, he may be elected Then again, he may not be elected, and, if he has resigned a good position to ac- cept the office of tax collector, he may find himself iA April without any job. That is the reason why there is not more activity in the field of candi- dates for tho position. As the term of MT. Loomis does not expire until April, 1920, il was thought a first that the man appointed would fill the office until that time That thought now appears to be a T error
 There are a few who think the only solution to the problem is to name the deputy tax collector acting collector, to remain in that capacity until the results of the spring election are known. As the deputy is a wo- man at the present time it is not known whether this is possible or not as the tax collector is supposed to De citizen and voter in the city.

MY SOLDIER SWEETHEART
 tsarrs of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

at the little railroad station next to Marvin would be in the capacity of a reception committee" to the famous speaker of the afternoon. I could visualize the curious eyes which would be turned upon us, the speculation which would run from lip to lip as 10 the extent of my acquaintance with so distinguished a hero.
 For I had always held myself strictly aloof. except for the most cas- uaf perfunctory courteses from the villagers. Not that I disliked meeting them, but my hands and my heart were so full I couldn't allow any out side distractions. The news of Dicky's first airplane accident had been care fully kept from the newspapers on ac- count Of the treachery involved treachery which the government wished to ferret out and punish.
 After his heroism in the wreck of the Alminana there had been several attempts to make much of the "hero's wife" but I had turned them aside as politely as I could. I surmised, how ever, that my personality was the sub Ject of much gossipy speculation in village circles, and I dreaded infinite l casual or. friendly. which I was sure would follow this public meeting of myself and Maj. Grantland.
 My cheeks burned hot1y as I re- mem'bered my hurried midnight jour ney along the "pipe line" in the in , terests of the service when Major. then Captain Grantland. had guarded me so carefully. There was not only embarrassm ent but fierce anger at my self in the remen hrance. for I | couldn't shut out from my memory the bitter recollection that during my brief and exceedingly elodramatic acquaintance with the young officer I had contraSted unfavorably the bray cry and gallant personality of Mai Grantland with what l at that tim thought indifference if not worse
 upon the part of my own husband. Something More Than Friendship.
 There had been an almost roman tic glam our for me ahout the young
 officer, a sort of sch0olgirlish hero worship, which in the later light of Dicky's wonderful heroism I had hated sham mefacedly to remem Der. In fact. l think I had come to my senses
 before Capt. Grantland left the cor1n- try, for I was glad and relieved when he wrote his farewell instead of com
 ing in person to deliver it.
New Britain herald., 1919-01-03

There was mething about my friendship with the young officer which I had never cared to remember, and l had scarcely thought of him in the exciting days that had come to me since his departure months before for overseas. For I could not but realize that Capt. Grantland's feeling for me was something deeper than friendship something which he had sternly put away from him on Dicky's account.
