FALL OPENING AT PALACE.

The fall opening bill at the Palace for the first half of the week starting Monday, is featured by four very fine Keith acts. The Three Eddy Girls are three of the daintiest misses who have ever graced a vaudeville stage, and their singing and dancing is even more captivating than their appearance Rappi, the sensational violinist, will be one of the hits of the bill. Rappi dis courses classical music and the next the raggiest of rags; .king and Stevens of fer a singing, talking, and dancing skit called a ''2Oth Century Honey moon;" Mac Rae and Clegg are two of the cleverest wheelmen in vaude- vile. The girl catches the eye from the time she appears by her clever riding and her costumes. Mac Rae not only shows some daring riding with this pretty partner, but also puts a line of comedy into it by the comical wheels which he rides about the stage.

.. SLEEPY TIME TALES .: The Tale Of Mrs. Ladybug
 By ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY /

Buster Bumblee couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. Somehow he knew that he had blundered. But just where he had erred he was unable to decide.
 Watch sharp. young sir!" Mrs. Ladybug bade him. Watch sharp and perhaps you'll be able to learn something"
 Then Buster Bumblebee received the surprise of his life. As he watched, little Mrs. Ladybug opened her shell-like. black dotted red back and spread a pair of delicate. brown wings.
 "Se these?' she said to Buster Bumblebee. who gaped at her blank ly. I've really two pairs of wings, because my polka dot wing covers are actually wings too-only folks don't usually call them by that name" Having spread her wings, Mrs. Ladybug decided to take a short flight. And with Buster gazing duly after her she fitted off. 'I'1 have to tell my mother, the Queen. about this" he muttered. | (Copyright 1921 by The Metropolitan Newspaper Service).

since then-not to embarrass you by contrasta but there's the pippinest peacherino of a dame, about half your age, just waiting till the judge cuts in two that death-till-you-part thing cbaining you and me together. when she will become Mrs. H. Underwood. Esquire. No. 2. So. my dear Lil. I'd advise you to cut it quick. and reward thls interesting gink over here with the soulful eyes. whose hands are itch- Mg to strangle me this minute
 The heaped-up insults had been too much for even Lillian's iron com posture. She had rushed away from ih with but a single furious epithet: You beast!' I never had heard her refer to the conversation since, and this unexpected demand of her made me wonder uneasily what lay beneath ncr questioning.
 Why Mndge Knew.
 Yes. I remember everything per tectly." replied.
 "I have wondered so often about that speech of Harry's. It wasn't like him to be gratuitously brutal, espec- ia:ly before you. for I believe if Harry could have a true emotion it is his feeling for you. And have wondered If he did not purposely calculate that speech so my conscience would be clear about freeing him. Did he say anything to you after I had gone that would lead you to agree with me?"
 Lucky for me that her first question had given me time to recall that memorable day. to anticipate this very question from her, and to pre- pare for 1t. I had surmised at the time Harry Underwood uttered the insulting words that he had said them for just the purpose Lillian had indi- cated. And when she had left us he had confirmed my suspicion with the nonchalant statement that most of that spiel to Lil was, pure bunk" But immediately afterward-with words that would ring in my ears always. with a snatched. enforced kiss that turned my lips with it's remembrance he had proved to me that he, in- deed. wished nothing, needed nothing of Lillian, and that she would be foolish indeed to consider him when seeking her freedom.
 Of course. I could not tell Lillian this. but the knowledge of it made rIe firm in the statement-false in the letter. but true in the spirit-with which I answered her.
 "He said nothing to change the opinion I have steadfastly held that you should not consider him in the least. for he needs nothing. desires nothing of you returned steadily. Tt Is Marion you should consider, and yourself-and Robert"
 "If I considered only myself and Robert" she replied with a wan smile, my decision would be quickly made. But Marion-I cannot believe it is hest. And yet. she is making herself actually i'll over the thing. l am afraid I am safeguarding her from future unpleasantness at the risk of her health perhaps-call them in.' she said abruptly.

 What have you done with MT. Funk?' Gloriana broke the silence with the first question that came \ to her lips.
 "Alonzo? Oh, he's out in the shade of a water-barrel cactus. teaching a couple of horned-toads to play leap frog by way of passing the time until l return from my visit to the sheriff. :"
 And these men that he-that MT. Strong wanted you to hand over?''
 Gilson's odd grin reappeared at mention of the two passengers.
 MT. White n-needing- shave he who introduced me to MT. Strong by yelling for help-happens to have rather binding, previous engage ment with the United States army" said Gilson. He is a deserter who ran away with the company funds and I found him in the desert. His companion. the Mexican, was aiding his escape to the Rio Grande. I am sorry to have disagreed with your escort
 MT. Strong wasn't exactly escort ing me, but he's a good friend of mine," said the girl, with a warming intonation. I'm much obliged to you for not letting him shoot you.'
 Don't mention it; >the pleasure is largely mine" Gilson bowed deeply.
 Now what do you suppose" she pondered aloud, "PhiTs interest in that precious pair could have been. if he knew why you arrested them ?"
 The sign-post shoulders shrugged. There is no telling about things you don't know. Must you be going? !? Then I'll be giving Hercules some gas and getting my curse-caro to town. Good evening, Miss Young Lady. We'll meet again-and soon."

But Buster hgdnt realized that it was not m easy matter to say anything to Mrs. Ladybug. Mrs. Ladybug al- ways liked to do most of the talk Ing herself She preferred to let others listen.
 He found her hard at work de- stroyinE an old apple tree. And when she caught sight of him Mrs. Lady bug paused in her labors.
 "well. young mani" she exclaimed. looking at Buster severely. Are you idlinR this lovely day away? You don't seem to be making any honey" Buster wished that he had spoken first. He certainly had had no in- tention of discussing such matters as honey making.
 "I don't need to make honey" he told Mrs. Ladyhus. ''The workers in our hive provide honey enough. May be you don't know that I'm of royal blood. I'm the Queens son. | don't have to work" he declared somewhat hotiy.

"OVER THE HILL" AT FOX'S.

''Over the Hill,'' the wonder picture of Broadway, that has easily outds- tanced every other screen presentation in the matter @ a continuous run in New York, will be seen here at Fox's today. :'Over the Hill'' is an unusual picture. It does not depend upon the eternal triangle for it's sustained inter- est. Nor require mob scenes to bolster up shortcomings in plot. There is something so sweet and wholesome and interesting in the story that the blase New Yorker, so particular and discrin,- mating in his choice of theatrical en- tertainment, has seen fit to give it his steady patronage and unqualified en- thusiasm ever since it was first shown there in September, 1920.

 The whip-stock was raised; but not again to descend.

CHAPTER III. Ranching, Wooing, Mystery.

After seeing her father off on the train at Rabbit Ear next morning Glory rode to Timothy Rudd's place to complete the bargains made by Blaze. In a corral near Rudd's place she came upon the horse dealer lash ing with a great bull whip a broncho which he had been unable to ride, while a fringe of rail birds" watched the brutal operation with disapproval, but not interfering. Glory asked why they did not put an end to such a performance, and when they hesitated she cried:
 Well, I'm not hitched, thank heaven!"

 Phil began to expostulate: to pro- test his love, which was greater than the commands of fathers, when along the road below they saw the great Hercules motor truck coming which Glory had rescued from the quick
 sands of Lost and Found. Seth Gill son was in the drivers seat. Two
 bound men lay in the truck behind
 him and one of them called out Help,
 MT. Strong, help"
 Phil ran down to the truck and
 asked of Gilson if he were an officer.
 Seth replied in the negative. Take these men to my place" cried Phil. My name is Strong-son of the owner of Emerald ranch. I can

 Marion" Lillian's voice. though weak, held the firm. loving tone which mover fails to calm the child. "I wish to. talk to Auntie Madge for a little. Then will tell you what have de- eided. Please go with Uncle Robert Into the next room"
 Robert Savarin crossed the room to tho cot where the child was sitting propped up by pillows. carefully wrap ped her in a blanket. and tenderly bore her in his arms to the adjoining room.
 When the door had closed behind them Lillian turned to me with a look on her face which I had never seen there. It was an irresolute. doubting gaze, as If she had come to a parting of the ways, with no idea of which path she should take.
 E''Will you get mo a glass of water. dear ?" she asked, as if to give herself time to frame tho words she wished to say to me. I obeyed her, and when I had handed it to her she took from a tIay by her side a small pellet. which recognized as a heart stimulant, and swallowed it. The action made mo realize more than anything else the importance she attached to this com ing conversation with me. and watched her face anxiously as she leaned back against her pillows and closed her eyes. evidently waiting for the fictitious strength tho drug would give.
 Made, do you remember the last time we saw Hxrry--the time he brought that bully, Jake wilsey. to time?" she asked
 Did I remember? Would ever for get that day when Harry Underwood. 1.-the and powerful as a tiger. had sub duod the ruffian who had attempted to kill Lillian. had dragged him to her feet, and then had spoken to her words which were rough and unpar- dOnably insulting-doubly SO because Robert Savarin stood by.
