Washington, D. c., and obtain
information as to how the Chip

And you will never know, will you, Madgie. dear. just how much of what l have said was false and how much true?''
 Only Ono Request.
 She hadofung that barbed doubt of Dicky's truth at me when she was facing almost certain death. I had succeeded in pushing it so far down in my consciousness that rarely did l feel its sharp thrust. But her hesita- tion, her hurried qualifying phrase, ''vainly, of course" dragged it jag gedly to the surface, and I knew that no matter what decision l made for or against her. the fostering track of that old barb would remain with me.
 She was speaking again, and could hardly believe that was really listening to Grace Draper, so humble, so broken the tired voice, whose tones once had been so clear and musical.
 You can afford to be generous" she said sadly. "You have won all along the line. Look at the wreck of what I was, while you are prettier than ever, and your youth has not gone as mine has. And you have love and home and a child, which I shall never know. All I ask is pardon from you and the chance to drag out my drab existence free from terror. Surely you can give mo those"
 Again there sounded in my brain a tiny note of warning. But it was faint, so light in the scale as com- pared with the weight of the girls tragic. abased appeal, that I put 1t aside and stretched out my hands inn pulsively toward her. Her piteous contrasting of her lot with mine had broken down my last barrier.
 My pardon I give you freely" I said simply. for in honesty I could not disclaim the truth that she had in- jured me almost beyond forgiveness. And tell me how l can be of assist ancc to you.
 She caught my hands in hers ana bent over them: I was afraid she meant to kiss them. and though | forgave her. I felt that I couldn't bear the touch of her lips. But hot tears. not kisses fell upon them, and l heard her broken murmurs of thank tulness.

 '"The forgiveness means most to me- she said, and if ever sincerity showed in a face it appeared to speak from hers. And there is only one bit of assistance that need from you or shall ever ask from you"

AT FOX,S THEATER IS
 GOOD PICTURE AND SHOW

Men and women who left Fox's theater yesterday and this afternoon after the opening performances or William E. Harts new Paramount picture, The Testing Block" were more than ever convinced that as the western bad man who later develops a streak of pure gold, there is no one comparable to MT. Hart. In this pie ture he has the opportunity of dis playing not only his skill as a rider, fighter and actor. but also in portray ing a real human being. As Sierra Bill, he got under the skim of the spectators; reused them to a high pitch of enthusiasm, especially when he fought half dozen of his own gang single handed; and then wrought them to the point of tears when he strives so desperately to save his baby. lying at the point of death in the lonely cabin. The photography is especially fine. Other pictures are the Fox News. Mr/ and Jeff and a Sunshine comedy reel.
 The vaudeville is headed with a bright little musical comedy number entitled All Aboard" The scenic eff fects of this are good and savor of the salt air. There are nine people in the cast, the comedian is good, the principals clever and the chorus pret- ty with attractive costumes. Three other high class acts of music, dance and comedy are on the bill.
 "Something to Think About" Cecil De Mile production, which opens Sunday, is a tale of plain folk and bare reality, unfelded with heart grip that has been approached only in ''The Miracle Man." A tale of green lanes and gay streets, of blind youth and grim reckoning, of love, luxury, beauty-and something else that has never before happened in motion pictures; that is t'Some- thing to Think About"

FAMOUS MIND READER
 AT PALACE THE AFTER

What is expected to prove one of the most sensational as well as the most satisfying acts from a vaudeville standpoint is that of Madame Ellis, known from coast to coast as '~The Woman Who Knows AH'' and who is demonstrating her powers at the Pal ace now. In presenting this act to the local public, the management of the Palace desire it made plain that they have full appreciation of the fact that mind reading, mental telep- athy, and other acts of similar nature have made periodical visits to New Britain, and there is no hesitancy on the part of the management in stat ing that were it not a fact and be- yond the shadow of a doubt that Ma dam Ellis will give more startling per formances and a more mystifying one than any that have gone before, she would not have been booked to ap- pear here. What Madam Ellis does do and something none of the others attempt to do, is to give full names, address, and other data, for in the giving of names surely there can oe no claim of confederates in the audi ence. During her engagement here the management invites the patrons to submit any test to Madam Ellis. It's just possible that this town may succeed in doing what no other town in this country has done thus far, and that is make The Woman Who Knows All' say sine don't know. There are other fine Keith acts on the bill and the photopiay feature offers Henry R. Walthall in "A Splendid Hazard
