said slowly.
"Certainly I nm not." He attempted
a derisive laugh. "Vour mother nnd I
are old friends-dear frlends-we have
known each other for ycars-but love-
Maud shrugged her shoulders Incredu
lously. "Well, I always thought so,"
she said.
.Pin.e BaJ, down nnd continued to look
nt him. He had suddenly become a much
mor Interesting person In her ejes.
Does mother know thls-how you feel
about me?" she asked.
"She nay suspect-as a woman of the
world she is sure to suspect-but no, I
haven't told her. I resolved to fight It
down, but tonight-well, jou have only
yourself to blame."
"Or my dressmaker," she corrected him
dryly. "This would bo ft good advertise
ment for her If It wern known Woii
Gilbert, you have given mo tho surprise
of my life you have, really. Uut jou
must never behave In this way again. Of
course, It's Immensely nattering and alt
that, but well', you sec, it's no use."
Ho was as calm as she now and sot
down facing .her, his nrms crossed under
his chin on tho back of the chair, "You
mean, I suppose, that you don't love
mo?" he said firmly. She nodded. "Oh,
I didn't expect you would. You have
bcon so long accustomed to regard me
In n certain llght-an altogether false
light. My clumsiness has at least broken
the Ice-"
"On tho contrary, It's frozen It harder
than ever!"
Ho dismissed the Interruption with a
wavo of his hand. "You had to bo told
sooner or later. Now," he announced
with a confident smile, "I'm going to win
you."
"You won't never!"
"Why?"
"If It's any consolation to you to know
then, because there's somo ono else."
Ho looked nt her fixedly. She met his
stare with a quiet smile.
"Who?"
"Really, I don't see why I shouldn't
tell you. In fact, you were silly not to
guess. Captain Arrol, of, course."
He took a cigarette out of his case and
smiled cruelly.
"Tho man who killed your fnthcr."
"That Is a Ho. He never killed my
father. I could strike you across the
mouth for saying it." Sho rose nnd made
a step townrds him. "So never say that
again you hear?"
Sho was so much taller and stronger
than ho that ho must bo excused for back
ing his chair away from her. He
laughed nervously. "Very well; I will
say tho man who was suspected of kill
ing your father. What do you propose to
do marry him?"
"That Is my Intention."
Sho rose, walked towards tho fireplace,
and clasping her hands behind her sur
veyed him proudly, dellnntly.
"Arrol is a madman to venture back to
England," ho said at length.
"I think he was mad over to go away.
He should have faced the music and set
to work to find out tho real criminal.
That Is what he is going to do now."
Again Maud's attention was arrested by
the sound of motor wheels. Both she and
Huron llstoncd. They heard tho door open
and Mrs. Plessey's light footfall on the
stairs. Maud hesitated and then moved
Blpwly toward tho door. She looked back
over her shoulder at Huron. "I leave It
to you," she said coldly, "to tell mother
what has happened what you have said
to me."
"What has ho Bald to you?" asked Mrs.
Plessey, tripping on the lightest of heels
into the room. She looked from ono to
tho other, then broke Into a not too good
natured laugh. "Gracious! Has there
been a love scene?"
"Thero haB," said Huron. Ho rose to
his feet and folded his arms dramatically.
"Which I will give you two an oppor
tunity of discussing," said Moud quickly.
Sho brushed past her mother and bounced
up the stairs.
Tho discussion, she concluded, was not
altogether harmonious. She slept Imme
diately above the drawing room, and
while undressing heard her mother's voice
raised far above its usually hlgn Key. one
was not herself inclined to attach much
Importance to Mr. Huron's unexpected
declaration. Sho did not care to attribute
it even In her own mind directly to the
influence of champagne, but believed It
to proceed from nn emotional exuberance
consequent on too much tango and late
suppers. Sho was surprised to nnd that
she liked Gilbert Huron rather the better,
not because his declaration flattered her,
but because It showed him to be some
thing more than her mother's tame cat
and special partner- Yet Bhe was sorry
ho had used such words to her. It would
make their Intercourse extremely delicate
In the future; It would undoubtedly hurt
her mother's vanity If, not her heart
Maud marveled at his bold admission that
he had been making Jove to her. The
voices In the room below were Inaudible
now though she had not heard Huron
leave tho house. Suddenly she became
conscious that she was verj 'sleepy. She
went to bed and switched off the llgnt.

fc THE WHITE SISTER
STEFANSSON ARCTIC
PICTURES SHOWN
Remarkable Views of Ill-fated
Explorer and Northern Wilda
Screened at the Curtis Build
ing Auditorium Freuler
Heads Mutual Company.
By (he Photoplay Editor
The first public view of the Btefnnsson
Arctic motion pictures was shown In tho
splendid auditorium of the Curtis Ilulld
Ing last night, when the Curtis Club mem
bers were the guests of Harry Bryan, of
the Metropolitan Booking Offices ot this
city, who controls the Stefnnsson pic
tures. It may be stated truthfully that
several pictorial records have been
broken-tho main one beln? that for the
first time In the history of photography
pictures show a man going to his death,
Stefansson, explorer. Is shown departing
Into tho frozen north some IS months a&o.
From the memet tho movie camera,
snapped him nothing haB been heard of
or from him, and the conviction thnt ho
wns lost In some mighty Arctic Btorm la
considered strong enough to warrant tho
assumption of his death.
Thero are six reel of these far-north
pictures, alt plctorlally beautiful! all
splendid specimens of motion photog
raphy. But, aside from this, they nro In
tensely Interesting nnd highly education
al, showing the home life of tho nomadic
Esquimaux and tho whites of the north
ern latitudes. Especially Interesting wero
the views of herds of reindeer, walrus,
sonls and the capture of a great sperm
whale. A hunt for an Arctic bear was
also exciting.
Preceding tho Stefansson pictures Mr.
Bryan showed a cartoon comedy by Gage,
a Philadelphia artist. The comedy was
received with shouts of laughter and
cnused much amusement.
Yesterday's annual election of the Mu
tual Film Company's officers resulted In
the elevation of John It. Freuler to tho
presidency and tho elimination of II. B,
Altken, former president, who has occu
pied that ofllco for tho last two years,
as nn active forco In the framing of the
organization's policies.
The following were elected: John It.
Freuler, president nnd general manager,
succeeding II. E. Aiken: Edwin Thnn
houser, first vlco president; Felix E.
Knhn, re-elected treasurer; Samuel M.
Field, succeeding Miss Thomas as sec
retary, nnd Walter K. Sellgsberg as
general counsel. J. N. Naulty was re
elected assistant treasurer. To the
Exccutlvo Commlttco John P.. Freuler,
Edwin Thanhouser, Felix E. Kahn.
Samuel M. Field and Crawford Living
ston wera elected.
A split in the rnnks of tho Mutunl offi
cials has been rumored ns Inevitable for
some tlmo. This rumor was strengthened
when announcement was made In the
Evenino LEDaen Inst week that a
14,000,000 company wns being formed,
with II. E. Altken at Its head, to turn
out pictures to be routed throughout the
country in a chain of theatres precisely
as regular productions have been handled
by the leading theatrical producers of
this city.
Associated with Altken In tho project
are D. W. Grlfllth, Thomas II. Ince. Mack

"But with the march of the years '
which have devoured past generations,
and to which we, too, shall succumb, the
shadow of grief will pass, while the

monument to a- lover ot books, and in
what moro gracious guise than this can
a man's memory go down to a remote A
posterity?"
In accepting the library. President
Lowell dwelt on tho splendid character '
of young Wldener. He said that for W
