HOLDING A HUSBAND Adele Garrison's New Phase of
 Revelations 0f q Vie

! T thought it would hit you between 1 he eyes, Madge," Dicky said com }piacently, and for long minute We 1 feasted our eyes upon the low, 1 ram bling inn, set in grove of wou- !derful old trees.
 How one can rest here," Grace ! Draper sighed.
 Madge's Question. That's right" Dicky said eagerly You must get a good long rest and pick up a bit before you begin work" " He was plainly embarra ssed, and I think Grace Draper's sharpened wits caught the truth then from his man ner.
 T suppose I'm too thin, and-and- changed" she said with a gallant au- tempt at a smile.
 Rot" Dicky rejoined sharply, I thought too promptly. It was as if he had anticipated her question. You look tired, of course, but that will only be a matter of a few days. And I can't possibly begin work for over d
 week yet. Then we'll talk things over.'
 Very we'll" The words were quiet
 enough, but there was a world of dis appointed modification in her voice. I
 knew she must have realized, perhaps
 for the first time, that not only her exquisite beauty but her power over
 Dicky was gone, and he knowledge must have been misery itself to her
 Her voice haunted me as we drove
 away, and I knew it troubled Dicky also, although his reaction to it took
 the form of irritated criticism. Why she's positively haggardH' he exploded, as we drove away. She won't do at all Of course, she still IS lissome, and she'd be graceful even cranking a fliver and l think rest and good food will bring back her lines in a week or two. But her face. It's hard as nails, all the youth and ex- pression gone out of it. What the devil am I going to do?'' I made no reply, knowing from long experience that Dicky wished none when he was fighting something out With himself.
 I've got it!" he exclaimed after a minutes silence. Didn't I tell you Miss Fosters profile was like Grace's She doesn't know how to pose, but I | can use her for the fish curves of I the face and then with Grace for the | pOSluTeS l can dO. Say, OIu utdI | manage it for me, will you? Ask Miss Foster and. yes-of course you'll have | TO include 'Sawbones' to dinner out here to meet Oracle. Then we'll fix
 it up."
 | I could not foster one astonished
 question.
 But do you think Miss Foster vii
 | consent to pose ?'
 | I'll bet you anything you like tha'
 she will" Dicky said, confidently.

AIT THE IYCEUM.

The story of the play treats of the conversion of Parker by the messenge. from Mars through the latter's taking him out into the streets of the city ol London at night and showing him the wealth of the great metropolis in con- trast to the Restitution and poverty of the East End. So extensively does the messenger from Mars enter into the story of the play, that the scenes in which he appeared with MT. Lytell, the star. occasioned the taking of over 3Ou double exposures. The vaudeville pro gram is headed by Little Miss Sunshine a classical revue of singing and danc- ing. O'Burrell and Curtis in clever nov city act. This is the only kind of an act that is in vaudeville. Robert ana Roberts and Ardo complete the vaude- vile program.

CAPITOL.

Harry Fox has always been a fav- orite, and now this headliner par ex- cellence returns to vaudeville after scoring success after succesa in music al comedy and in pictures. Where ever vaudeville is liked, so is Harry, and in his homecoming jollihcation at the Capitol this symbol of levity is assisted by Beatrice Curtis, one of the prettiest women on the American stage.
 A pretty little romance is unfolded against a jazzy background in The sins of St. Anthony" a picture from ! Saturday Evening Post story with Bryant Washburn in the role of a young scientist who is rejected by his iancee because he hasn't a bit of society pep. He stars along the prim- ~ose path, aided by a pretty dancer rom a girly show, and the results are as unexpected as they are amusing.

The Way Dicky Greeted Grace Draper
 Draper and Masked His Chaorin

OAaptf aliu h2SAeu Ills CHaSflll-
 Hush, Dlcky! Sneell hear you."
 Dicky abruptly stopped his az grleved mumo moIlng over Grace Drap- CTS changed appearance, lifted his hat and waved a greeting to her a> she caught sight of us. l also waved to the girl whose hand I never had thought to take in even common courtesy again, and we hurried swiftly to her side.
 She had her suitcase in one hand her bag in the other and Dicky took them from her in as casual fashion as if she had been frequent week end guest.
 l reflected that I did not know the circumstances Of their last meeting and parting, and 1 wondered if there were in Dicky's mind a remembrance of that time. No need to ask If Grace Draper remembered. She could control her face and her voice, but there was an expression in her eyes as she glanced quickly at Dicky and then as quickly away again, that told me she had forgotten no slight est incident of their acquaintance.
 Hello, Grace." Was it my fancy, or did Dicky carefully avoid anything but the most casual glances. How was the trip-warm ?"
 No, thank you, very pleasant, she responded in as carefully inditfer- ent a tone, taking my outstretched hand in a firm grasp.
 An Odd Experience.
 Thank you for letting me, come, Madge," she said simply, and 1T 1 ever heard gratitude and sorrowfui remorse for the past in any human beings voice I heard it in hers. Ii I had wished I could not have helped giving her an answer in keeping with her greeting.
 'I am glad to have you,' I re- turned: Come this way. The cat is right over here"
 I drove rapidly to the inn of which Dicky had spoken, with her by my side and Dicky with the luggage il the tonneau. It was one of the oddest experiences of my life, and I found myself speculating upon the mental processes of the girl. There was not the slightest remnant of the sparkling ooQuetry which had made her so al turing in the old days. She was simply dignity itself to Dicky, charm ingly friendly to me, with just the correct touch of humility. Was she truly repentant, or was she playing a dufficult part extremely well? Oh, what a wonderfully pretty place!"
 I think the excla nation burst simul taneously from both Grace Draper and myself, as I turned a sharp cor. ner under Dicky's directions and drev up in front of a rustic archwa, twined with climbing rose bushes GOV cred with buds.

BY ARTHUR SC0Td BAILEY::

l I'thougn nell be nuisance because the village will be crowded today.' l As soon as the bays had had their drink the party started on again. And old dog Spot was content He did not mind the dust that the bays heels kicked up as he followed beneath the carriage And the faster they trotted. the more they pleased him; for he was as anxious as Johnnie Green to get to town and see the crowds and the fun.
 Once a surly dog ran out from a | farmhouse and tried to reach him. That made Spot somewhat uneasy.
 1T don't want to stop to fight this fellow" he thought. If I do, I'll be left behind.''
 l Luckily Farmer Green cut at the strange dog with his whip and bade him be off. Spot grinned as he lsneaked away, yelplng.
 At last they entered the Village. Main street was thronged with people. fCarriages and wagons of all sorts lined the road on both sides-glisten- ling buggies with red ribbons tied in bows about the whip stocks, old Humber wagons with chairs set behind the drivers seat.
  Ia gathering-not even at the fair. l "The whole county's here!" he ex- lclaimed. T hope we'll find good lrlace to stop, where we can see the parade"
 l They did Farmer Green backed the bays into the last open space in the gutter. And Johnnie was greatly Irelieved.
 The crowd made such a roar, with Iits talking and laughter. that old Spot
 covered down under the carryall and almost wished he had stayed at home The cries of men selling peanuts and Ipopcorn, squawkers and toy balloons, mingled with the shouts of small boys land the soueals of theft sisters. | "Goodness," Spot murnured- What la racket! It hurts my ears.
 A moment later he stuck his nose out from beneath the carriage and
 burst into a nnournful howl. Keep still" Farmer Green or dered.
 Little did he know, then, what made Spot cry like that. But in Q . minute or two Johnnie Green heard the same thing that Spots sharT Tears had caught first. And Johnnie howl6d too.
 Hear the band!" he shouted. "Hur- } rah! The parade's coming!

tered to buy the first act climax" (der gasp checked him momentar- lly) The rest was rubbish, he said. But he advised me not to sell. He said time might cure me of the be- setting sin of all aywrights-some e day I wouldn't be so young and traglc-if l didn't starve to death"
 And you're not going to?" she asked quickly.
 Sell or starve? I took his advice and refused his offer But the second possibility doesn't seem so remote, at that, just at present.
 You've had trouble again at home," she accused him. 'Evr-- than usualt"
 Worse than usual,' he admitted. 'Over me-"
 He protested too volubly, so that even his detailed account of the dog | fight, meant to be gay and inconse- quential, failed to deceive her. T know she insisted, with a calm stubbornness that she had in- herited from her father. T know,'
 Its a quarter to eight he said. Wed better be starting down."
 That statement proved effectual. She ran from the room and came back wrapped to the ankles in an old coat
 'I was waiting for father" she said. Hes so very prompt usually. He insisted on conveying me to and from the theater whenever I have to go after dark. though it's absurd of 1 him to think I need an escort. when I'll soon have to look after myself without any help at ali. I think it's because he's already lonely. Some times I think I can't go, only I know my staying now would be even harder for him to bear. I wonder why T Elihu wants to see him?'

Z the threshold. And the Rev. Watson l Duncan was left standing alone, with his mouth inelegan ntly open. He had hardly begun to recover from the shock when Jimmy reached the back door. From that point, however, his recovery was practically instantan- eous. He leaped to follow; he tore (open the door which the boy had closed quietly behind him. And his foreflnger playful no longer shook Jerk1ly at his stepson's back, already disappearing down beaten path which led away through an orchard behind the house.
 If you go now, to consort with that creature of the purlesque," he shrllled, you go to stay! Do you hear l me?''
 Jimmy Gordon went steadily on, without a backward look He trav- ersed the orchard, negotiated a crazy barbed-wire fence without damage to his blue serge and crossed decidedly discouraged garden plot. He round | ed the corner of a dingy house which | tronted an unpaved, back street and 1 stopped before an open door. | Beyond the door, back toward him, stood slender bronze haired girl in 1 mad little costume of black, a ! slender figure which would have been unrecognizable had 1t not been for l the familiar tilt of her head.
 The girls head tilted to the other side as she spread the folds of the l absurd skirt, pre-eningly, then nodded l with manifest satisfaction; whereupon l she laughed softly, hummed a meas l ure as mad as the costume itself and l tripped a dainty step or two, with the grace of a wild thing.
 l This movement made room for the boys reflection in the glass, and she | encountered it there. She stiffened. l Her eyes grew wide and shining. She stared at it, and turned and stared at him. Then she flew to him, and flashed both arms about his neck. ''Jinmy!'' she cried. Jimmy! And I was afraid you mightn't get back until after I was gone I was be- ginning to think you weren't coming back at all.'
 | Assuredly there was welcome here. The girls immature body quiv- cred her gladness, but the boys face exhibited little emotion save vague curiosity and a certain distaste for the fuss she was making over him He unWound her arms and stood her away from him; she submitted to his scrutiny with a matter-of-fact desire for his approval untinged by self consciousness; and at length he nod ded his head. The costume spoke for
 itself.
 T thought for moment-just fo1
 moment-that they had asked yoJ
 to take part he said. Then you're l-going?"
 T had to- she answered. T had
 to. It's better than waiting for {
 chance that might never come. Don look pretty?'
 The boy entered the room heavily crossed on tagging feet and dropped : into a chair beside a, red plush GOV
 cred table. For a time he sat gag ing vacantly before him, his chil
 in his hands, oblivious to the grow
