II don't know" he sighed, and his
sigh was abysmal. "But what 1 want
ed to tell you was this: when you
went away, you didn't let me know
and didn't care how or when I heard

This time I'm going away. That's
what l wanted to tell you. I'm going

Lucy, this is our last walk to-

Evidently" she said. IF you're go

"Lucy-this may be the last time

At that she looked up at him quick

brightly as before, and with the
same cordial in~consequence: "Oh, I
can hardly think that" she said. "And
of course I'd be awfully sorry to think
it. You're not moving away, are you,

II don't know when I'm coming
back. Mother and l are starting tomor-

At this she did look thoughtful.
"Your mother is going with you?"
"Good heavens!" he groaned. "Lucy,
doesn't it make any difference to you
that l am going?"
At this her cordial smile instantly
appeared again.
"Yes, of course" she said. "I'm sure

compassion. "How can 1 help but be?"
he said.

mustn't. You mustn't be troubled, no
matter what happens"
That's easy enough to sayw he
protested; and he moved as if to rise.
Just let's stay like this a little
while, dear. Just a minute or two.
L want to tell you: Brother George
has been here, and he told me every
thing about-about how unhappy you'd
been-and how you went so calamity

little laugh. "What a terrible old
woman she is! What a really terrible

"Mother, l." And again he moved
to rise.
"Must you? u seemed to me such a
comfortable way to talk. Well" She
yielded; he rose, helped her to her
feet, and pressed the light into being.
AS the room took life from the sudden
lines Of fire within the bulbs Isabel
made a deprecatory gesture, and, with
a faint laugh of apologize protest,
turned quickly away from George.
What she meant was: "You mustn't
see my face until I've made it nicer
for you" Then she turned again to
him her eyes downcast but no sign
of tears in them, and she contrived to
show him that there was the SEM
blance of a smile upon her lips. She
still wore her hat, and in her unsteady
fingers she held a white envelope,
somewhat crumpled.

, "Wait, dearest" she said; and
though he stood stone cold, she lifted
her arms, put them round him again,
and pressed her cheek lightly to his.
"Oh, you do look so troubled, poor

believer boy. You know 1 could never

She released him and stepped back.

walked slowly to the other end of the
room; then stood there, with her back
to him, and her head dropping n little,
until he had finished.
The sheets of paper were covered
with Eugene's handwriting.
"George Anderson will bring you
this, dear Isabel. He is waiting while

II thought it would be the simplest

"Very well! Well agree it was SIM

do you think of that letter itself?"
She hesitated, looking away. "I-of
course I don't agree with him in the
way he speaks Of you, dear-excepr

some of the things he implies. You've
always been unsatisfactory knows

"Oh, not" she cried. "You see how
fair he means to be, and he didn't ask
for me to give it to you. It was brother
George who"
"Never mind that, now!, You say
he tries to be fair and yet do you sup
pose it ever occurs to him that I'm
doing my SIMPLE duty? That I'm doing
what my father would do If he were
alive? That I'm doing what my father
would ask me to do If he could speak
from his grave out yonder? Do you
suppose it ever occurs to that man for
one minute that I'm protecting my
mother?" George raised his voice adj
varcing upon the helpless lady fierce
ly; and she could only bend her head
before him. "He talks about my viii
how it must be beaten down; yes,
and he asks my mother to do that lit
tie thing to please him! What for?
Why does he want me beaten by my
mother? Because I'm trying to pro-
tect her name! He's got my mothers
name banded up and down the streets
of this town till I can't step in those
streets without wondering what every
soul I meet is thinking of me and of
my family, and now he wants you to
marry him so that every gossip in
town will say There! What did I tell
you? l guess that proves it's true?
You can't get away from it; that's ex-
actly. what they'd say, and this man
pretends he cares for you, and yet
asks you to marry him and give them
the right to say it. He says he and
you don't care what they say, but 1
know better! He may not care-prob-
ably he's that kind-but you do. There
never vas an Anderson yet that would

the deepest thing in my nature-not
that I'd expect Eugene Morgan tomun-

nature is to protect that name and to
fight for it to the last breath when
danger threatens it rs it does now
through my mother!" He turned from
her striding up and down and tossing
his arms about in a tumult of gesture.
II can't believe it of you that you'd
think of such a sacrilege! That's
what it would be-sacrilege! When he
talks about your unselfishness toward
me he's right-you have been unselfish

Moving pictures have always been
talked about as family entertainments.
They were heralded as the one amuse-
ment which took in the entire family.
Nowadays they are becoming family
affairs not only for the audiences. but
for the actors also.
There's the Pickford family, Mary,
LOttie, Jack and Mrs. Pickford, and
then the Marsh family, that popular
Moore family including the in-laws,
is another, and now comes the word
that three members Of the most fa-
nous OF stage families are to appear
in picture together. Ethel. John and
Lionel Barrymore are the trio and the
picture is to be screen version Of
Du Maurier's famous book and play
Peter Ibbetson." Of course it will
be Famous Players-Lasky produc-
ton.
John and Lionel appeared together
in the stage success OF this subject
last season, but the photoplay will
mark the first appearance of all three
Barrymores in one production on
either stage or screen.
John Barrymore has been on the
stage for more than fifteen years and

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. %. The
senate after tedious debate at two diff

last evening by restoring the original
schedule of teachers salaries in the
Kessler bill from the house
The Kessler BILL as it came to the

PRIVATE SUPPLY
IN DANGER NOW

Have you little liquor in your
home?
Richmond people who stocked up IN
preparation for the long dry spell are
in danger of paying So, So or 81 tax
per year on each and every bottle Of
the good stuff which they hold,
Not content with having made the
nation dry SO far as selling or import
ing of liquor is concerned, the Anti
Saloon League has started campaign
on the enormous quantities which 1t
asserts are being held in private
homes.
Senator Jones of Washington, long
time prohibition leader, admitted to
correspondents in the national capital
this week that legislation is under way
and may be submitted to congress
soon, to put such stamp tax on every
bottle held in storage.
The reason for this, he said, is that
enormous stocks of liquor are disap-
pearing from warehouses into private
homes and prohibition will not pro-
hibit If every home is allowed to have
private saloon.
So Richmondites who are planning
on holding large enough supply even
to taper off gradually during the next
few years had better prepare to pay
dearly for every bottle they hold.
