PLANNING A SURPRISE PARTY.

PLANNING \ SURPRISE PARTY.
 "Tomorrows your fathers birth day." Mrs. Bear told her two cubs, Cuffy and silkie. Pm going to give him a surprise party, Now don't breathe a word about it to him"
 The youngsters promised to keep the secret.
 Cant we help, Mother?" they asked Mrs Bear.
 Indeed you can" she told them. i've invited a dozen of your fathers friends. And I intend to give them big supper. You can come with me now and we'll hunt for food in the woods
 Cuffy and Sikie were delighted. They scampered away with their mother and found all sorts of things that MT Bear liked to eat. They picked berries. They gathered grubs. They caught crickets. Mrs. Bear even discovered bee tree. And the children helped her carry honey home. By evening they had 2 great store of goodies, all safely hidden a little distance from the den, where MT. Bear wouldn't be likely to find them. For if MT. Bear stumbled upon food of any sort, there was never a way to stop him from eat ing it on the spot.
 That night Mrs. Bear went off on mysterious errand. II was hours afterward when she came back. Re fore she went to sleep, towards morn ing. she had added one of Farmer Greens pigs 10 the collection or daintics that she planned to set be- fore MT. Bear and his cronies on the following evening.
 On the morning of Mir. Bears birthday. Mrs. Bear managed to per suade him to so on long journey up Pleasant Valley. She hinted that she had heard there was good fishing in a stream up there. And Mir. Rear de -idod that he would try his luck.
 "Good!" said Mrs Rear, when he had gone. Your father won't hn homo until almost sunset. We1i havr fine chance 10 get everything ready for tho feast"
 Late in the afternoon Mrs. Rear began to prepare the supper for Mir. Bears surprise party. Not far from the den was pretty grove Of pine trees. where tho ground was all softly rarpeted by pine needles. Here she spread out the good things that she ard the children had gathered the cav before.
 "Thereu" said Mrs. Rear at last "Everything's ready. But if would aa nice 10 have salad. I'll take Silkie vita me and we'll stroll down

I tried to | make him think it would me good thing if he would go out of town and leave Leslie to me and the nurse z attention, but he won't hear of such thing. He seems to think Leslie needs him even If it breaks his heart when he comes in and she scarcely opens her eyes to look at him.
 I will write you tomorrow after we have gotten Leslie. settled in the con yalescent home. I have arranged for her to have a whole suite of rooms.
 This afternoon for the first time she spoke to me in more resigned tone about her baby. She has hardly mentioned it, as yet, to Jack. I have tried to get Jack to ask her about it., for you know she seemed to think that Jack did not want the baby and she had kept it secret that she was going to have one until the accident. almost feel that by some perver- sion of mind she rather planes Jack for the baby's death. You know what queer ideas one will get, at such times.
 Sydney Carton was up here yes terday. I had long talk with him. Joe. like that young man very much. He is perfectly devoted to John and Leslie. and after he had been here John seemed much com forted. I tried to get Sydney to go into Leslie's room but he said he was afraid he would disturb her.

 "I wish, mother dear" she begged me that you would go into my wall-safo at my apartment and get that string Of pearl beads which Alice gave mo for wedding present. and tell Karl to take them over Co her I do not expect I will he wear- ing them for long while. and they arc so beautiful would like to lend them to Alice"

LAUGHING BEDROOM FARCE
 BY NEW POLL STOCK STARS
Frank McHugh Takes Leading Part in
 "The Girl in The Lmousme"-- 2 Ricciadi to Play Next Week
(By Herald Reviewer).

lby heidiu hVNiS"ei''
 Bedroom scene farces which really are laughahle but which are not suf- ficiently suggestive to annoy anyone in this modern age are the exception. and it is the exception that the new poii Players feature in at the Palace in Hartford this week in their presen- tation of The Girl In the Limousine" As usual, all the members of the com pany are excellent in their parts and in this weeks show Frank McHugh has the leading role in lieu of Mr. Howard who has been suddenly called to California. As leading man, MT McHugh could not be improved upon in this type of play. Master of light comedy. skilled in quick repartee and facial expression, this popular player carries off the male honors this week. Mary Ann Dentler, the leading wom- an, has winsome little part and Frances Williams, as the austere Aunt Cicely from the west who is the acme of propriety. plays her part most con- vincingly. Others are equally happily cast, William Blake as the jealous young newlywed; Harold Kennedy as Riggs, butler who loans his clothes and gets caught in lady's bedroom sans wearing apparel; Victoria Mont gomery as Lucia Galen who also gets into the bed room mixup. and Ruth Thomas, as Bernice Warren, another involved in the sleeping apartment muddle. Frank Bishop has the part of a chauffeur. small but necessary to explain the mystery, and James Coots, newcomer. goes at top speed throughout as Dr. Jimmie Galen who thinks he sees things. Jay Ray and Edwin Vail have minor parts 1s crooks In word. the play evolves around young Mrs. Neville and Tony Hamilton. Attacked and robbed of money and clothes by crooks Hamilton senseless, is carried into Mrs. Ham ilton's room where he comes to with no clothes, The mixup becomes more laughable as Aunt Cicely arrives, mistakes him for -her nephew w-in-law and literally forces him to go to bed -in one of the twin beds. From this setting, the laugh producing possibili- ties are obvious.
 The scenic work in the staging of this show is superb.
 An extraordinary attraction is billed for next week when the PQli Players will support the Broadway Star, Will liam Ricciardi in Papa Joe" this stars most successful play. Ricciardi, it will be remembered, is a star in his own name and also has doubled for David Warfeld in the Music Master"

 "Yes, Ma" said Cuffy Bea".
 ''Ill be back before the company Comes," Mrs. Bear told him. "I don't expect your father until after his friends get here"
 Mrs Rear and Silke hadn't been gone 10 minutes when Mir. Bear came snorting up the mountainside. He had been headed for home. But he knew that he smelled food in the directions of the pine grove.
 Hal" he exclaimed when he came upon the feast, What's all this, my lad?"
 Now, Cuffy Bear couldn't tell him. Hadn't he promised his mother he wouldn't breathe a word to his father about the surprise party? While he was wondering what he ought to say,

The Startling Disclosure Willie Accidentally Made

debated for an instant whether tc tell the excited young officer of Jun ior's prattIe, or to keep 1t to myself as too absurd for relating.
 Then I decided that had no right to withhold any detail, however trifling, from him, and besides, wished to test little theory of my own. The eyes of the boy of ten were fixed upon the sisters face, and waa sure he was trying to signal some in- / formation to her.
 '.I suppose you are hunting for the escaped bootlegger who so nearly murdered his companion last night"
 I made my voice casual, but the face of the boy of ten and even that of one of his younger sisters whitened under the griue and tears. It was positively uncanny, I told myself, the knowledge and secretiveness possessed by these mites.
 The officer stared at me for a sec- ond, then assented excitedly.
 "I'll say we are .' he exclaimed. We've got lot of husky farmers as deputies, and we're ping the woods for him. My buddy got a hunch that he might be hiding in this house, for somebody tipped us off that he's cousin or something of the woman here"
 I had shifted my position so that, without being obstructive, could watch the girl. Mamie, and I saw her eyelids flicker at the statement. I in- terruped the officer uneeremoniously.
 'Is that true, Mamie?" I shot the question at her.
 The girls eyes filmed in exactly the same manner as had those of her mother when Katherine and Iahad asked to come Into the yard.
 Important Information
 T don't know what you mean" she said, not sullenly, but with a most convincing air of innocence. My mother hasn't any cousin in this coun- try. And there hasn't been any man here except my father. Has there Willie?"
 The boys answer was a bit too ready. He was too young to have his sisters powers of discrimination.
 No, honest. Missis,' he assever- ated earnestly. Nobody but my father. I haven't seen nobody"
 turned to the officer deprecating- ly.
 T beg your pardon for the ques- tioning' I said. "IIl tell you my reason for it after awhile. Just now I want your advice on something else. My little boy told me just before I came over here, that man broke a window at the side of the house, got out and ran across the road My son is scarcely more than baby, however, and his ina agination is very vivid.- But I was sure I saw broken window pane in the farthest window there as l came in"
 The officer had wheeled as I spoke of the broken window and was glow

his father reached out to help him self 10 some berries.
 % Don't do that, Pa" Cuffy cried. Mother said nobody was to have a taste yet-not even myself"
 That's right" said Mir. Bear. Always mind your mother. But I'm sure she didn't mean me. I've been on a long tramp. And I'm terribly hungry"
 Thereupon MT. Bear sat himself down and began to eat as fast as he could. The food began to vanish amazingly. tTomorrow:-Mr. Rear Reached Home too Soon, With Dreadful

 My Dear Husband:
 I am getting very much discour- aged over Leslie's condition. l know the other day when you were here she had little flicker of interest as you came in. but after she had first seen you, you remember, she never seemed much interested in you again. We are taking her to a convales- cent home tomorrow, and the doctor has suggested if she gets no better that I should try and find a little new baby for Leslie and Jack to adopt. or course do not know how this is going to work, Joe. Person. ally, I would feel very much, as though some one had physically hurt me If they put another baby in my arms just after I had lost our boy, you know. But you never can tell just what will he the outcome of thing of this kind.
