The Way Madgc "Nfannged" Mother
 Graham.

The Way Madgc Managed" Mother Graham.
 l, My mother-in-law had been too quick for me. I had no subterfuge ready for her this time, and as she drew out my low shoes from under the bed her keen eyes spied the twist ed handkerchief crushed into tho toe of one of them.
 Margaret" she exclaimed in ac- cents of lively horror. You don't mean to tell me that you have tied up your money in a handkerchief and tucked it in the toe of a shoe under your bed! Of all the crazy perfor- mances I ever heard off"
 She was pulling at the handker- chief as she spoke. Thankful indeed, was I that had tied it in much the same thrifty fashion as a small girl does the coins entrusted to her for ap errand, more thankful still that she had interpreted its contents in the way she had. I spoke quickly, contritely:
 "I know mother. It was a perfect ly ridiculous thing to do. Just toss mo my portfolio and the handkerchief. will you please? The portfolio is in my bag. Here's the key"
 It is my methodical custom. one upon which Dicky never ceases to exercise his raillery, to keep my check books. bankbooks. housekeep- ing money and important business papers in a small leather portfolio. the key of which and of my travelling bag I always keep upon my person. waking or sleeping. My mother-in- law. of course. knew Of this custom. I hoped that getting the keys would distract her attention from the twisted handkerchief. But I ought to have known her better.
 She took the keys held out to her and put the kerchief reluctantly into my outstretched hand. But she made no movement to get the portfolio, iIstead she stood lookinv .ntently a; the crushed little packet.
 In n Tight Place.
 "Of course. you're going to open that and count your money" she said didactically. How do you know that it hasn't been stolen and paper or something .substituted?" sS
 For moment l. was tempted to Eratify her smelodr ramatic instincts by letting her discover Che torn pieces of telegram instead Kof the money I had let her infer was tied n the handkerchief. But the certainty that. Dicky would be the first to rhear the; tale, and know that had secretedk the pieces for Which he was search ing. effectually spoiled the impulse. I took refuge guiltily in petuiance. which I knew would offend her. but l felt that I had no other resource.

1, "Oh, mother. how absurd!'' said impatiently. "Of course I'm not going to stop to do anything of the kind. Tho knots are just as I tied them my self last night when I took the bills from my purse. I felt too weak to get the portfolio out and put them away. And nobody has been in the room since but Dicky. I'm perfectly sure he hasn't meddled with them. Please hand me my portfolio and let me get dressed I shall go mad if I have to stay in this bed another min ute."
 Mother Graham's Weakness.
 She turned away abruptly, every line of her offended back spelling hauteur, brought me the bag and put it on the bed beside me.
 You will prefer to open this your self" she said. loftily, and I knew that I had prscipitated one of her fits of mental mar<yrdom.
 But any regret or perturbation might have felt was lost in the relief with which I deposited in my port folio the twisted handkerchief and turned the key upon it. AS I put the portfolio in my traveling bag, locked that and retnrned the keys to the cord which I wear around my wrist at night, in hidden little pocket in the day time, I thought grimly that it would take more than ''all the kings horses and all the kings men" to remove those frag- ments of telegram from their hiding place until I was alone.
 had not the slightest idea what meant to do with them when that op- portunity should come. If I obeyed the instincts and training of all my life I should destroy them without looking at them again. But there had come to my mind a strong con- viction that the message they carried concerned me far more closely than it did Dicky, who had inadvertently dropped it. I couldn't bank with certainty upon my being able to with stand the temptation tosput the torn pieces together. and sox find out for myself what their nysfefious message was. t4
 "Is there. anything more I can do for you?'' @
 My mother-in-la laws voice. dignifed with martyrdom, broke into my thoughts. s
 You no. doubt Would get on bet ter without ulesr. she said with pa- ,fhetic saiff
 N hknew she was near the teary s&Ee, but also knew how best to pfevent it.

AT FOXS.


 The remarkable art of Will Rogers both as comedian and as the por- trayer of pathos, is once more regis tered on the screen in his newest picture. "water, Water Everywhere, !" which opened for a three-day engage ment at Fox's this afternoon.
 The humorous background of the story centers about the attempts of temperance society to banish 1iouor from the town. In the course of the story, the town saloon becomes a soda water parlor. and the men stay away from their homes-as usual to congregate there and swap stories. However. Will Rogers succeeds in his attempt to reform his rival, and then resignedly steps aside to permit him to wed the girl he loves.
 In addition to the scheduled play CTS there is an army of daredevil western riders. a bevy of pretty girls from the big city, musicians, towns people and every character necessary to give the proper color to the story.
 "A He Male Vamp," another com edy, our old friends Mutt & Jeff and the Fox News, with its events from all over the world are also included in the screen part of an interesting program.
