ed c. Gardner Sullvan's most i'm
pressive camera story.
Love Madness depicts with con-
vincing realism and magnificent WIS.,
ual effect the engrossing story of a

took up her life in the very heart OF
the underworld in a great city in or

ment of spicy novelty to majority
OF theatergoers.

her previous character delineations
in the role of Mary Norwood, the wife.

CHAPTER VI.

The ancient bromide to the effect that man proposes but God dlsposes was never better exemplified than in the case of John Stuart Webster who. having formulated certain daring plans for the morrow and surrendered himself to grateful slumber in his stateroom aboard the Gulf States Lim- ited, awoke on that momentOus morn to distinct apprehension that all was not as it should be with him. His mouth reminded him vaguely of a bird-and-animal store, and riot and in- surrection had broken out fin the geOmetric center of his internal economy.
 Webster was sufficient of jack-leg doctor to suspect he was developing a splendid little case of ptOmaine poisoning. He decided to go into ex- ecutive session with the sleeping-car conductor. who wired ahead for a doc tor to meet the train at the next sta tion. And when the sawbOnes came and paved Jack Webster over. he gravely announced that if the patient had the slightest ambition to vote at the next presidential election, he should leave the train al St. Louis and enter a hospital forthwith. To this heart-breaking program Webster en- tered not the slightest objection. for when man is seriously ill he is in much the same position as politician
 Al, e T.: :o friends.
 However, life had the habit of go- ng hard with Webster so frequently hai ,'Ir'iately he was trained to the 'inu.e. and after three days of heroic battling the doctor awarded Jack the decision. Thereafter they kept him in the hospital ten days longer "feeding him up" as the patient expressed it. at the end of which period Webster, some fifteen pounds lighter and not quite so fast on his feet as formerly, resumed his journey toward New Or e leans.
 In the meantime, however. several things had happened. To begin, Do lores Ruey spent two days wondering what had become of her quondam knight of the whiskers--at the end of which period she arrived in New Orleans with the conviction strong upon her that while her hero might be as courageous as wounded lion when dealing with men, he was the pos sessor. when dealipg with women. oi
