began to walk up and down the floor.
What else was there to do? What
choice did I have? Was there any

stopped, close in front of her, gestic-

WAS there any other way on earth
Of protecting her from the talk?"

north into National avenue. and pres
emily reached the quieter but no less
begrimed region Of smaller shops and
old-fashioned houses. Those latter had
been the homes of his boyhood play
mates, old friends of his grandfather
had lived herein this alley he had
fought with two boys at the same
time. and whipped them in that front
yard he had been successfully teased
into temporary insanity by Sunday
school class of pinky little girls On
that sagging porch laughing woman
had fed him and other boys with
doughnuts and gingerbread; yonder he
saw the staggered relics Of the iron
picket fence he had made his white
pony jump, on dare, and In the
shabby, stone-faced house behind the
fence he had gone to children's par
ties, and, when he was a little older
he had danced there often, and fallen
in love with Mary Sharon, and kissed
her, apparently by force, under the
stairs in the hall. The double front
doors, of meaninglessly carved walnut,
once so glossily vanished, had been
painted smoke gray, but the smoke
CRIME showed repulsively, even on the
smoke gray; and over the doors a
smoked sign proclaimed the place to
be "Stag hotel"
This was the last walk home" he
was ever to take by the route he was
now following: up National avenue to
Anderson addition and the two big
old houses at the foot of Anderson
boulevard; for tonight would be the
last night that he and Fanny were to
spend in the house which the Major
had forgotten to deed to Isabel. To
morrow they were to "move out" and
George was to begin his work In Bron-
sons Office. He had not come to this
collapse without a fierce struggle-but
the struggle was inward, and the roll
ing world was not agitated by 1t,
and rolled calmly on. For Of all the
ideals of life" which the world, in Its
rolling, inconsiderately fiattens out to
nothingness, the least likely to retain
profile is that ideal which depends
upon inheriting money. George Am
berson, in spite Of his record of fall
ures in business, had spoken shrewdly
when he realized at last that money,
like life, was like quicksilver in
nest of cracks" And his nephew had
the awakening experience of seeing
the great ANDERSON estate vanishing
into such nest-in a twinkling; 1t
seemed, now that it was indeed so ut
terly vanished.
On this last homeward walk of his,
when George reached the entrance to
ANDERSON addition-that is. when he
came to where the entrance had for
merly been-he gave a little start,
and halted for a moment to stare.
This was the first time he had mo-
ticed that the stone pillars, marking
the entrance. had been removed. Then
he realized that for long time he had
been conscious Of a queerness about
this corner without being aware OF
what made the difference. National

Geraldine Farrar at the Hin

Geraldine Farrar will hold the, screen at the Hip for two day engagement beginning today, offering her Para mount success Temptation" produced by Cecil B. DeMille. The world famous diva is admirably cast in this picture, which Is woven around the life of a singer. As Renee Dupree, we find Geraldine Farrar singing in and around the cheap cafes of Paris. Her tsrength of character coupled with her indomit- able will power have carried her safely across the many temptations which have strewn her path, and when there comes into her life young Julien, a musician, she realizes that at last she has found true love. Julien has written an opera which he is anxious to have Otto Mullen, an impressario, produce Renee's wonderful voice and rare beauty have attracted the noted pro- ducer, and he consents to produce the opera for Julien but only on condition that Renee leave Julien for himself. In the effort to have her sweetheart succeed, Renee decide to make the sac rifice, for Julian has become danger ously i'll, and the doctors have stated that his life hangs on the production of his beloved musical score. It is the decision to give herself to the un- scrupulous impressario that brings the audience to the intenseness of the | climax which springs a complete sur
 prise on the audience.
 The program will be augmented by 1 ''The Face in the Watch" another O the western stories always popular.

Sid Meyers received a telegram
 Tuesday from Long Beach which said
 that they were going to play Berkeley
 for the championship of California. They also said that if they came out of the contest victorious, they would play Phocnix high December 3. There is always that "if' connected with our negotiations with those coast teams. We are sure that Long Beach wishes to play the Coyotes, because Herbert Shelly, who has just arrived from there, says that every time he got hold of a Republican with some dope about how scared the California teams were of the Coyotes and showed it to the Long Beach boys, there was a ''gnashing of teeth, and pulling of hair,'' becaues they did not have an open date to meet Phoenix. If it was a sure thing that Long Beach would beat Berkeley the 27th, Geary says that he would start practice. But he says that he does not like to ask the fellows to start. training when they do not know for sure whether or not they will be given a chance to take the trip

The GlTrp BOneQlai prOduceu as q vehicle for the talented little William Fox star, Peggy Hyland, begins two days engagement at the Lamara to- day. Produced originally as stage drama, the play was an instantaneous hit. Originality of theme coupled with finesse of treatment are the outstand- ing features, to say nothing of the cleverly woven plot which pervades the entire telling.
 Peggy Hyland is cast as the daugh- ter of g. college professor. She has written book on "Bohemia"--a sub ject of which she knows absolutely nothing. Her father endeavors to turn her from literary effort, while young Haldane, a successful novelist, per- suades her that maybe another sub ject with which she is more familiar would be more to her writing pro- clivities. Piqued, the girl goes to New York, enters Bohemia" and then sees the life as it is really lived. She en- ters the spirit of the set, and starts another novel-"The Girl in Bohemia Her quest for local color gets her en- meshed with several interruptions de- voices to the gods of pleasure, and she | unhappily fails into the trap set to fleece her of all the money she had and turn her adrift pennilness. murder figures in the plot, with which the girl is charged.

1.-THE THIRD DEGREE WITH ALICE JOYCE
 AT STRAND TODAY

Star, director, author, story and pro- duction, all combine to make the Strand attraction for two days engagement beginning today one of the most talked of pictures ever thrown on as creen. The attraction is Alice Joyce in Vitagraph's tremendous production of Chas. Kein's greatest dramatic effort, "The Third Degree.T
 In it's stage version, this drama proved veritable sensation, its rec ord making theatrical history from the very moment of its premiere in New York City.
 In the role of the waitress, Annie Sands, Alice Joyce reaches wonderful heights of dramatic action. The story is compelling one, never for a single moment allowing the hold on the heart | strings to lessen, as this girl, bravely battles on for the life of her husband, 1 charged with a murder, and forced by l the savage methods of the police in- | quisition known as "the third degree | to confess" that he was the man who committed murder of which he knew absolutely nothing.
 Annie Sands is waitress in a col lege town. Howard Jeffries, Jr., a wild 1 youngster, big hearted and good na- tured, loves and marries her. His ar- rival home with his bride finds his father also recently married, and 8 woman who is trying to hide an 'af- fair" she had formerly with Robert l Underwood, an erstwhile gambler | friend of young Jeffries. Jeffries, ST. disinherits his son for marrying be- heath his station, while his new wife maintains the naughty air which so lily befitted her. Underwood writes Mrs Jeffries, asking funds, and threatening suicide if the money is not forthcom- ing. She visits his apartments at night to refuse assistance, and rebuke him for his insolence. Young Jeffries, is ir
