The Bayrum circus however, will begin the circus season in this city this year, for 1t will eN- hibit Thursday and Friday evenings, March 31 and April l. in the lower gymnasium at the Y. M. c. A. Three rings are guaranteed, the rarest ami maIs in captivity will be shown. For example. "Hugatoris," the ferociOus caviar-eating snake. will be exhibited for the first time to Q palpltaunS public.
 The story of the capture of this snake is a thrilling one, guaranteed to put to shame the most vivid tales of Buffalo Bill and his life on the great Western prairies. For Husatoris was captured, at the risk of the lives of a cordon of snake hunters, while he was scaling the Woodwork build ing in New York. But dizzy heights mean nothing to Hugey- He dotes on dizzy heights.
 Another feature is Senor Limbur- ger. the contortionist, the only one of his kind.

He sat, opposite to me, and lit a cigarette in his old, noncha1ant man ner. He was dressed in the Seedy frock-coat of the book merchant but the rest of that individual lay in a pile of white hair and old books up oSa the table Holmes looked even thinner and keener than of old, but there was a dead-whfte tinge in, his aqiIIine face which told me that his life recently had not been healthy one.

''The Human Touch'' On The Screen

"As Dumas needed only three boards and a passion to make a play so for a photoplay one needs only 2 camera and a passion. The spectacu of character is more thrilling than the clash of coincidence or melodramatic' villainy; soul-wrecks are more excit- ing than ship-wrecks and the race Of ambitions than of chariots."
 MT. Hughes has in several pie lures, notably in Dangerous Curve Ahead" contributed significant ideas and creations to the screen, and his belief that the spectacle in the films is passing in favor of real human in- terest stories is another indication of his understanding of the problems ot the new medium" says Rex Beach.
 Facts Prove Argument
 Let me substantiate his arguments with a. few facts which have come to my attention; facts which reveal as tonishingly the waste which goes on in the motion pictures. Fact number ly reproduced for picture a famous European gambling resort at COS: of S200,000. The entire company could have been transported to the actual resort and returned to America at 10 per cent of the money which was spent
 Gertrude Atherton is another au thor convinced that the spectacle of eulolloIS IS U HI bilS movies over the spectacle of scenery. Mrs. Atherton says:
 "I think there is no doubt the time has passed when the public can be drawn into the moving picture house either by a star about whom some Sil- Iy story has been built or by scenic magnificence unsupported.

CHAPTER CCNL.

For a minute Virginia remained perfectly silent. It seemed to me .h at I could hear my own words echo ing on the air:
 Meals in sort of a partnership p with Pat Dalton and Car1otta Sturges." /" Believing as I did that Virginia still loved Pat, my heart ached with the recoi1 of the blow I had dealt her. This alliance of my brother with Vir- ginia's husband must assuredly ena- bitter her-but not a tenth as much as would Pats association with Car iotta Sturges. But whatever the struggle that went on she gave me no trace of it when she turned her pale face and impenetrab1e eyes to me and said in a flat. color1ess voice:
 My dear Anna. your brothers bus mess arrangements are nothing to me. 1 promise you I shall not stay away from his reception on that account and subject you or Jim to surmise and gossip. At a great crush like that will be it's very easy to avoid people one doesn't want to see.' In my heart I knew that Virginia wouldn't spare herself. It was use- less to ask her to spare Phoebe, but I couldn't resist one last effort: With all our-fanily compFica- tions don't you think Phoebe might refuse?"

ToDAY,s 1NsTA1LMENT.

My observations of No. 427 Park Lane did little to clear up the prob lem in which I was interested. The house was separated from the street by a low wall and railing. the whole not more than five feet high. It was perfectly easy. therefore, for any one to get into the garden, but the win dow was entirely inaccessible, since there was no waterpipe or anything which could help the most active man to climb it. More puzzled than ever. I retraced my steps to Kensington. I had not been in my study five min utes when the maid entered to say that a person desired to sec me. To my astonishment it was none other than my strange old book collector, his sharp. wizened race peering> out from a frame of white hair. and his precious volumes, a dozen of them at least, wedged under his right arm.

A hearty laugh is worth going miles to enjoy but when it is accom- panied by good music. both vocal and instrumental, it increases its value tenfold. Just such a list of at fractions is contained in the charm ing musical comedy La La Lucille which comes to the Lyric theater next week. La La, JucilEe'' is among the few musical comedies that has a well defined plot in connection with it's humor and musical numbers and re- quires a chorus of real songbirds which will be imported from Broad way by the Lyric management.

poison circulating in the blood. This
type OF anemia is seen in blood
poisoning. in tuberculosis and IN
