His face was twisted so one
eye was nearly closed, and he
slunped in the chair, his left arm
hanging. He spoke in a strange
humble:
"Letter-burn it. Amy"
Shaking so she could hardly
stand, she took the sheet and
placed 1t on the Goals. With a
tremendous effort he pointed to a
square on the floor and she put
that upon the flame. It was the
envelope she had seen on the hall
table, addressed In her mothers
hand.

Even in her panic she noted

that the stove top was carefully
moved aside, while Johnsy placed
paper and splinters and small
chunks Of wood just right for
mother to light the fire. When
the blaze changed into a bed of
Goals the children themselves
placed the eggs In one tin can
of water and the potatoes IN an
other and set them on top of the
etove to cook.
Such joy and such excitement
as followed! Bread and butter
and milk were added to the feast;
but nothing could possibly taste
as good to Johnsy ond Peggy as
those eggs and potatoes that
they cooked outdoors themselves.
Since time was children have
delighted in this pastime, and 1t
is such a simple way to give
them a morning Of bliss. OF
course no sensible mother would
allow her little children to play
with fire unless they were closely
watched and guarded. But with
supervision it Is entirely safe.

Under the drift Of letters there

Under the drift of letters there
was one addressed In Amy's
hand. It, was to someone in
New York; Clare made out mr."
but the name was plotted. She
judged the envelope had been
mailed when the Ink still was
wet, for the name and the street
were quite illegib1e.
In the return corner Amy had
written her home address instead
Of her hotel; that was why the
letter had found It's way here. It
was unlike Amy, somehow.
The girl caught it up with the
idea of placing 1t in her mothers
room; then she thought her step.

~THE WHITE MONKEY"

The most beautiful brunette in
America and England's most perfect
blonde are seen together in "The
White Monkey" First Nationals
current Offering at the Plaza Theatre
tonight.
There are two love stories in this
picture, each set in widely diver
gent spheres. Barbara La Marr was
never seen to better advantage than
in her role of "Fleur," the pamper-
ed daughter of English aristocracy,
who with every normal whim and
need satisfied peers longingly into
the vague future trying to discern
what life still holds for her. Like
the white monkey in the peculiar
Chinese painting, she loses her
chance of happiness in the vain at
tempt to obtain more than her
rightful share from life.
Much different is the character of
"Victorine," played by Flora LIE Bre-
ton, an English girl. Life, which has
withheld from Victorine all but the
barest necessities of existence, in a
magnanimous moment, gave her the
adoring and faithful love of Bicket,
an employee of Fleur's husband, who
steals in order that his sick wife
might have little joy in the midst
of their miserable poverty.
In the case of Fleur, we see how
an erring wife is brought by the un-
wavering love of her husband to a
realization of the things that are
worthwhile in life. In the other and
more humble instance the transgres-
sion of Tony Bicket is wiped out
through the devotion and self sacri-
flee Of his wife, Victorine. Thus,
