About the expense at this Hill- view place." The mans voice was a gray thread of sound.
 Calmly she discussed plans and particulars. A confusion of sounds at a side door was distracting her attention. There was . child's cry and restrained voices. She waited for tap at her door. It came.
 Accident, doctor. Two children. z

 'I'll endorse q check to Cash. Fill it out later"
 It was midnight week later when Dr. Wagoner entered her private office to find three letters waiting on her deck.
 The first letter informed her that her new car could not be de- livered for ten days. She didn't want it. It was only that it was the same costly kind as the one given to Angelaf Preston by her father on her wedding day. It was only a desperate attempt to restore her self-respect. It. was an effort to defeat that old obsession. If she could buy for herself.
 The name of Angela Burke was in the corner of the second letter. Hal Burke was dead at his home in Los Angeles. Theresa was thanked for the payment of the a~au Anonaa ha Sr,< hnnxpx@ %hnf Hal had helped her through med- ical college. They had been desti- | ute. Hal had meant to ask for only a small amount, She was eternally grateful.
 Hal deadi A loan - destitute grateful? What could it mean? There had been something strange about Halls visit. He hadn't gone to Hillview. She'd heard nothing from him since.
 The third letter was from her bank. There was enclosed a cashed check for five thousand dollars! On the back of the check was her own name and the name of Hal $. Burke.
 1t was the check which in her haste sine had endorsed blank. It had been drawn for five thousand dollars instead of fifty. Cash had been paid to Hal Burke on her signature.
 Five thousand dollars! It was the savings of five years. It was the price of her car. It was the price of her freedom! The price of her freedom!

Dr. Theresa Wagoner was seat ed at the desk in the germlesI cell that was her private office She was holding her wheat-coloret head between her hands. Her gray blue eyes stared at Q notation fl front of her.
 It was signed order for an au tomobile, a special model The price was five thousand dollars. It wal the exact amount of her banl balance.
 She, who had paid for her edu

 The buzzer on her desk bored into the tumult of her thoughts. Come in," she said steadily.
 The man who entered was ob- viously i'll. His trembling lips were colorless. Coughs shook his en1a- ciated frame. Her professional eye recognized a dangerous condition.
 "Sit here,' she said solicitously, guiding him with a touch to a chair facing her own. Drink this" :" She handed him a glass of water.
 Theresa" he gasped when the paroxysm had passed. He leaned back pale and exhausted. I'm sorry"
 Her hand paused in midair as she reached for the glass. Hal Burke" she said incredulously.
 She released his limp, cold hand. Was this the man? Was this wreck of humanity the handsome, dash ing Hal Burke of her freshman year?

 The examination was cursory. The mans condition was alarming.
 You should be in a hospital, Hal" Dr. Wagoner said soberly. You must know that you are dangerously i'll. If you could go to Hillview sanitarium for 8 few days
 She kept seeing the young Hal Burke who had made such ardent love to her-to every freshman girl. Only she had taken him seri- ously. She had thought he meant it when he suggested marriage. She had adored him. She had re- sponded to his lovemaking with all the repressed emotion in her hurn- ble heart.
 She'd gone about the campus in a blissful dream. To her roommate, to her small group of friends, to causual acquaintances, she ccnfided the secret of her happiness. Under the hypnotic spell of Hal Burke's flattery she had forgotten that she was tall and broad and too big Tor a girl.
 From an inner pocket of his coat the man had taken package. You remember Angela" he said, hand- ing her a kodak picture.
 Angela? Angela was the girl he had married at the end of the year Angela, who had been as lovely as spring, was faded and old.
 Theresa's mind swung back to 2 scene in the chapel. She hadn'i seen Hal for days. He dropped her without a word when Angela came. She'd tried to see him. He avoided her. She'd sensed the pity, the amusement, the ridicule in the eyes of her acquaintances. Finally she met him by accident at the door of the chapel. Tears drowned her face.
 Get in here out of sight" he said, seizing her roughly. Marry

SECOND WEEK
FOR HEPBURN
At KEITH'S
s'The Little Minister''
Wins Popular Approval
and Is Held Over.

Perturbation of Sir James NJ
Barrie's ''The Little Minister" now in
its second week at Keith's, has made
that delightfully."- romantic book none
the less delightful, as cinematization
does so many books portraying an
early period in another country, but
rather makes the village life at
Thrums, Scotland, about 1870, a part
of the watchers own life for the
time spent in the theater.
Katharine Hepburn, as Babbie,
the Gypsy girl whose Irritation with
the devout young Rev. Gavin almost
upset the simple faith of the village
folk, is more captivating than In any
former picture. Her poise and grace
as she fits in and out of scenes
mark the performance.
The Little Minister himself, in the
person of John Beal, who comes to
Thrums as mae more than laddie,"
is an actor whose portrayal of the
difficult role Is splendid.
Others of the cast cannot be over
looked in discussion of the picture
Alan Hale plays well the part of the
drunkard who reforms under the Lit
tie Minister'S influence, and Andy
Clyde as Weary World" the sole po-
liceman in Thrums. furnishes the
comedy in the picture by his pathetic
attempts to find some one to talk to.

'FORSAKING ALL OTHERS
REMAINS AT THE PALACE
Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Rob-
ert Montgomery and Charles
Butterworth Featured.

Joan Crawford, Clark Gable and
Robert Montgomery remain at the
Palace in their rampagings through
the devious and farcial ways OF
M-G-M's "Forsaking All Others"
Other than the three leading names,
"Forsaking" has Charles Butterworth,
Hollywood's most adept brightener-
upper, to supply the comedy relief or
whatever one supplies for a slightly
slap-stick farce which has a laugh a
minute anyway. He, of course, COM
mits grand larceny and walks away
with the flm. being responsible for the
gayer moments of whimsy. Without
Mr.. Butterworth's inimitable drolleries.
"Forsaking All Others" would hardly
be so poplar as it is.
Joan Crawford, who perhaps for the
first time in her career has been left
bridal-gowned and groom-less, plays
happily and lightly, displaying herself
handsomely clad for the edification
of the ladies present, and exhibiting
on occasion a horribly cold-creamed
face, probably because the director
made her. Mr.. Gable and Mr.. Mont
gomery also contribute gay and swift
performances. Frances Drake does
her feminine menace role in a thor
oughly authentic manner w. A. Van

"LAYMAN'S MUSIC
COURSE" STARTED
Nine. Olga Samaroff Stokowski
to Deliver Twelve Lectures
in Washington.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

A special course of lectures designed
to help the laymen to a clearer un-
derstanding of music was started
yesterday by Nine Olga Samaroff
Stokowski at the home of Mrs. Edwin
B. Parker. These lectures will be IL
in number, given each Friday morn
ing at a private home. Some of the
lectures of this carefully planned
course will be given by Harriet john
son of New York.
The lectures are called "Layman's
Music Course" and are expected to
prepare the music lover or those in
terested in music to become dis
eliminating listeners, with a funda-
mental knowledge of musical history
and forms of composition as well as
correct valuation of the musical
content Of different styles.
In opening the series Nine Sama-
rolf explained the plan to be followed
and touched on the first phases of
music both from the creative and
receiving standpoint. Slides were
shown in Illustration Of various points
and interesting records of primitive
music were played. Our complex
civilization. Nine Samaroff said. not
only influences the style Of the music
we hear but requires a finer mind
training for its comprehension.
An interesting fact was brought for
ward by Nine Samaroff as to the up
lifting character of music. From
hundreds of letters received from
nearly every penal institution in the
United States, in answer to a ques-
tionnaire sent out by Nine. Samarof,
it was found that rarely had any of
the inmates a musical instruction of
any kind. In many of the institutions
bands had been formed and trained
and the records showed that none
of the members of these bands had
ever been returned to the institution
after release. While not definitely
establishing a theory, Nine Samaroff
said it, nevertheless, was clear evi-
dence of the influence of music.
The sponsors for the series are Mrs
Tracy Dows, Mrs. Charles F. Baker,
Mrs. Parker. Miss Grace Dunham,
Mrs. George Hewitt Myers, Mrs. David
St. Pierre Gaillard and Mrs. William

Two of the blue-ribbon attractions

at the Earle, as will Donald Novis,
singer, whose last Earle appearance
resulted in a holdover by public
demand.
These four attractions begin the
1885 season at the Earle. Additional
screen features and stage headliners
