 Douglas Mclean in his new Para mount picture, The -JaiIbird," which is being shown at the Lyceum the last half of this week.

WILLIAM FARNUM ON SCREEN
 AT FON'S.

William Farnum stirred the audi cnces at FoXs theater this afternoon when he appeared after long ab- sencc from the local screen. in His Greatest Sacrifice" This is a story based on the life tragedy of wife who separates herself from her hus- band and child in the hope of win ming happiness from public applause in the opera world. At the time of the separation the husband has just begun to climb the ladder Of success as a writer His wife leaves him as she fears domestic life will interfere with her musical career, believing what she is told by a wealthy man. She gains fame but in time is cast into tine discard in flavor of younger artists. She then responds to the mother-love call and the desire for her husbands affections, but finds that that which she has cast off so callouslys cannot be so easily won back. It is a picture in which there are no dull moments and the fine acting of MT Farnum adds to the dra matic value of the play.
 In addition there are the usual Fox News. reels the Mutt and Jeff animated cartoon and the Century comedy.
 Foar new vaudeville numbers are booked fortthe last~half of the week, embodying some, excellent offerings in singing. dancing and novelty acts.

HEROIC SACRIFICE
One Lone White Woman-Is Giving Her Life to Care for Lcpers in Village of
 ChGndag. India. ,.

London, May PA story of heroic self-sacrifice and devotion haa reached England from the leper will lage of Chandag, India, where Mary Reed, a solitary whito woman mis- sionary. is giving her life to minister to the sufferings of her fellow lepers.
 News of her isolated life was brought back by MT. Oldrieve, organ izing secretary of the Mission of Lep- CTS, who has just returned from TO- 000-mile journey visiting all the leper colonies in India.
 Thirty years ago Miss Reed went into this desolate spot in the Him alayas, 5000 feet above the sea level, offering herself to the leper cause Although a victim of the malady, she is still able to carry. on her spiritual work among those afflicted like her self.
 Miss Reed seldom sees white peo- pie for her station is so miles from the nearest railway line. There are 46 women lepers in the community and 19 men in the mems refuge a short distance away.
 According to MT. OldrieTe, there are 100000 lepers in India. At present, ' he declared, it is not right to say that any -cure for leprosy has been found"

Central Auto Stage Terminal

Seattle, Washington
Dear Sir:
We are in receipt of your letter announcing estab-
isnment OF terminal for auto stages plying in and
out of Seattle 80 = = :,
The question Of auto stage terminals is matter
mat has given the Department considerable anxiety
Al otner transportation companies have furnished
their patrons such accommodations as protection from
weather, comfort stations, ETC. We had hoped that
stage lines without suggestion order on the part of
the Department would follow suit and your substan-
tal effort In this direction is indeed gratifying to the
Department The practice of many stage lines operat-
ing between points without furnishing these accomo-
dations has been bitterly complained of by the travel
ing public We indulge the hope that your splendid
effort will inspire others to follow your example with
out action on part of this Department and feel certain
that it will be received with appreciation on the part
of the public. Very truly yours

l found myself shaking hands with
an elderly man who looked as II he
might be farmer, or a miner, or
something of that nature-yOu will

whiskers all over his face, an eye as
mild as collie dogs.
"You done plum right, Jeanie," he
remarked; and then to me: "COme
right on in, stranger, and be at home
If you don't see what you want, ask
for it," After which he went to take
care of the piebald pony.
The log cabin proved TO be primitive
only on the outside. The interior was
a dream of coy LONELINESS. A hang
ing lamp lighted it, and in its mild
glow had my first real look at the
girl
She wasn't 'utiful in any show
girl meaning of the word; she was
something far better-piquant, charm
ing. A round little face, wind-tanned
to tint as delicious as the blush in
the heart of an apple-blOssOm, jolly
bit of a nose, tip-tilted enough to be-
speak a healthy sense of humOr, a
mouth neither too large nor too small
upheld by a firm, round chin, and the
chin upheld by an extra firm little jaw.
AS she had admitted, her eyes were
blue-the blue that shades into violet
and they were well-set; wide apart
and perfectly fearless; the kind of
eyes fit to match the straight-lined
brOws that usually 60 with them.
1 sat before the cheerful blaze,
chuckling quietly to myself over the
mad adventures of the day and their
highly romantic, not to say miraculous
outcome Beyond all manner of doubt
had stumbled upon the three tails,
mans Of Cousin Percy's cryptic letter
BY the most marvellous of accidents
l had discovered the girE the horse
and the dog; and, if the remainder of
Percy's letter were to be taken al
it's face value, should now be In
touch with my legacy.
AS to the character of that legacy
there could be no further question
Grandfather Jasper had left me G
mine; and 1 was fully prepared tC
find 1t the drowned mine of BulIertOn's
story. What / might be able to make
of it was a matter which could vel
be postponed to another day. Just as
l reached this pOstpOning conclusion
the girls father came in, drew up 9
chair on the opposite side of the
hearth, and began to make me wei
come in a mild-mannered way, saying
that they didn't have much company
and were always master" glad to see
a new face He did not ask me any
troublesome questions; and beyond
telling me his name, which was Hiram
TwOmbly, did not volunteer any in
formation about himself or his daugh
ter, nor did he explain how they came
to be living in so much comparative
comfort in such an Out-of-the-way
place.
A little later the girl returned t.
set the table, and presently we had
supper. 1t was an amazingly goot
meal; crisp bacon, fried potatoes, hot
biscuits and honey, and coffee thai
was most delicious in spite of the
condensed milk which was made tt
serve as cream.
