This was the first day of his va
cation and of hers. They man
aged to get them from their re-
spective firms at the same time.
They had planned to spend them
doing all the pleasant things in
town they were usually too busy
for and taking little trips in Ted's
car. And then they had quarreled.
Again. And this time rather seri-
ously.
And she had stepped into taxi
and gone home alone, leaving him
staring after her. And expecting
she knew well enough that as
soon as she got home she would
call him up and make the way
easy for recOnciliati
instead of which, she had stop
ped at telegraph office and wired
him where she would be breakfast
ing this morning, and that she'd be
glad to have him join her, but only
, in case me wanted to apologize.
Before she slept she had had his
answer, naming the train he ex-
pected to take for Chicago.
But. right up to now, she hadn't
believed he'd really go. She knew
he was in love with her. And he
was always so gentle and relieved
and happy when he came back to
her after quarrel.
Until at last she faced the mo-
ment when his train was pulling
out of the Pennsylvania Station,
and admitted that it was too late.
Mice weather we're having,
isn't it?" The old ladys voice was
barging in resolutely upon her at
last.
Well, why not? She had plenty
of time now. She smiled at the old
lady and said, yes, it was. There
wasn't anything to be done about
Ted, he had chosen.
DO you come here often?" She
was simple old lady, but shrewd
salty.
Yes. Do you?" Cynthia includ-
ed the old gentleman in her glance.

VISIT" HE SAID.

Good Evening.
THE OLD SPRING REFRAIN

March is racing like speeding train,
We've come again to the old refrain
Of kids performing on roller skates
And bicycles going at terrific rates
OF speed because, ding-a-ling
They say at last, it is the spring.
What a change few days make!
Soon trees on buds-no, our mistake
Buds on trees, small plants awake.
Jackstones in window, marbles, too,
Balls and bats and what have you
Organ grinder, organ and monkey trio
Ready to gurgle o Sole Mic.
Yes, spring is here! It's in the cards,
Just take look at untidy back yards!

PROGRAM OPENS

Tim Mccoy and George
O'Brien Head Good
Casts at Coliseum

Colonel Tim Mccoy again turns
in a sure-fire performance in Co
lumbias Speed Wings" which
opens at the Coliseum Theatre on
big double feature program tonight.
Speed Wings" concerns itself, as
the title would lead you to believe,
with aviation. But, instead of simp-
ly presenting a hodgepodge of aer-
ial stunting, this production has a
logical, effective theme-the eff
forts of a band of ayiators to win
the worlds speed record for the
United States.
That they succeed-but only aft
er six men have died trying-is due
to Colonel Tim Mccoy, who is not
only an expert aviator, but an in
ventor of motors as well.
The story hangs together intelli-
gently, and the flying sequences
are thrilling and dramatic.
Mccoy acquits himself creditably
as the daring aviator who brooks
no interference in his plans. Miss
Knapp is charming as the girl in
volved. William Blackwell enacts
the part of the flyer who has lost
his nerve with a true undertand-
ing of dramatic values, while Vim
cent Sherman, as the doublecross-
ing observation-disclosures new to us
is a capable and worthy addition
to any cast. The smaller roles are
also well presented. Otto Brewer
