Peculiar Manx Cats.

The origin of Manx cats is now at
tributed to the arrival Of these cats
on the Isle of Man from ships belong
ing to the Spanish armada that were
wrecked there. They were probably
brought from Japan or eastern Asia.
They are distinct species with short
forelegs, and elevated headquarters,
and differ from other cats somewhat In
call, ways, and character. They vary
In color. People who have owned them
for long periods say they are not good
mousers or hunters. In character they
are rather similar TO dog, being high
ly companIonable and having some Of
the qualities of a guardian, but they
are not considered hunters in any
sense of the word.

around me and kissed me, and held me
there. Then. very soon, he began TO
talk; and, oh, he said such beautiful

TO have few things; and he needn't
think he could walk right In like that

ried at moments notice. But she

laughed softly, and called him an old

And that's the way 1t Is with them

lovely together for anything. (Aunt
Hattie says they're too silly for any

And, as l said before. 1t is all per-
fectly wonderful.
So it's all settled, and they're going
right away on this trip and call 1t a
wedding trip. And of course, Grand

"The Sign on the Door"
Considered One Of Best
Norma TaImddge Pictures

In "The Sign on the Door,
Norma Talmadge, Incompatible
emotional actress OF the silent
drama. is seen at her best in the
most interesting and absorbing
screen vehicle yet given to this
talented star
1t is a screen version of Chan
ming Pollock's highly successful
stage play of the same name, and
to merely say that 1T is a credit
able one would be putting the
facts very mildly indeed.
A splendid plot is extremely
well presented on the screen The
story concerns Ann Hunniwell, a
pretty stenographer, who, thru
no fault of her own, is compro-
missed by her employers scape-
grace son. Later, when she mar
ries man of high character and
social standing. the fellow comes
into her life again. He is killed
In a struggle with her husband.
The husband does not know that
his wife has witnessed the trage-
dy. An extraordinary denouement
follows her act in summoning the
police and accusing herself of the
shooting.
In this production Norma takes
full advantage OF the opportuni-
ties for dramatic and emotional
acting In wonderful fashion. And
the technique and artistry of Her
bert Brenon. who directed "The
Sign on the Door" is apparent
throughout the production.
The star has excellent support.
Charles Richman is seen as her
leading man. and others promi-
nent In the cast are Lew Cody,
David Proctor. Helen Weir and
Paul McAllister
THE Sign on the Door" was
adapted for the screen by Mary

GIRL RELEASED
FROM PRISON ON
FATHERS RANCH

Bucyrus, Ohio, May S--Sherif
Edward j. Knappenberger Of
Crawford county, today contin-
ued his investigation into the Inn
prisonment of Miss Irene Menges
~. released Friday after con
finement OF at least two years in
an abandoned iron sheeted smoke
house on the farm OF her father,
Jacob p. Menges, near Crestline.
Prediction that developments
OF startling nature would be
Forthcoming today was made by
Sheriff Knappenberger. who with
Marshal Charles Crawford Of
Crestline, arrested Menges after
they liberated the girl from pris-
on.
Investigation OF the case be-
gan some days ago after neighbors
OF the family had informed the
sheriff OF the situation. Menges
and his family voiced opposition
to the sheriff's action, declaring
the girl to be mentally incompe-
tent, which necessitated her being
placed under restraint.
Officials at the Toledo state hos
pital said the girl was discharged
from that institution June 80,
1915. as mentally incompetent af-
ter eight months treatment.
Taken to Bucyrus, the girl Is
being cared for by the sheriffs
wife. She made no attempt to
speak and merely smiled slightly
when spoken to. She ate heartily.
The prison, six by eight struc-
ture, is hidden from view from the
road, being directly back of the
house occupied by the family. The
building had no windows or ven
tilation and only single shaft Of
light came from small hole
near the roof. Furnishings con-
sisted OF cot. small table. an oil
stove and lantern. A comb was
the only other article found in
the room, according to the sheriff.
The Menges family is consider
ed well to do. Menges is a piano
tuner
