STORY OF MARIK-OniLE
"Marie-Odlle." mlKht bo described as a
study In innlden Innocence. Thn hero
ine, Marie-Odlle, Is a novitiate In an Alsa
tian convent during tlio Franco-Prussian
War. She has lived with the sisters
wltbiri the walls eer slnco she was found
a baby at the Bnte. She blooms Into
beautiful slrlhood in absolute Ignorance
of anything in Hie woild but prayers and
her duties about the convent.
Marle-Odllo was In the pigeon loft feed
Infr her pets when word was brought tu
thn Mother Superior by an aged priest
that tho dreaded I'hlnns were advancing
toward Hie convent. Tho Mother Superior
nnd the sisters lied, foi getting Marie
Odlle In their haste to escape1.
So she encountered the Invaders alone.
They wero hungry and she spiend for
them the menl she hud piep.m-d for the
nuns. Heldier-like they bade her, won
derlnir and frightened, sit In the Mother
Superior's place unit heartily they toasted
her.
Some of the soldiers weie mite tn her
and she shrank away und could not un
derstand. Hut one, n corporal, spoko
kindly to her. He seemed to her llko
tho archangel, and In him she saw the
Incarnation of St. Michael, of whdm she
had drenmed.
COIlPOnAlYS LOVK.MAKING.
The young corporal had left no sweet
heart behind him: he was of tho temper
that dreams of women and clothes them
with romantic fancies. He had the mel
ancholy foreboding; that he would be
killed In battle. As it happened, the or
ders of the squadron held him nt tho
convent when the rest had gone utlcld.
In the afternoon sunshine nnd In the
still solitudes he spoke to Marle-Odilo
of all that was in hla young and romantic
heart, To her it was as if all tho long
ings nnd musings of her young affection
were as by miracle fulfilled.
The next day tho soldier went his way,
and as he had feared hl3 life did go
out In battlo.
Marie-Odlle remained In the convent
with only the old gardener beside
her, and with nono hut him to tend her
when her child was born the baby that
heaven had given her as by a miracle,
aa she In her heart believed.
When the war was over and the nuns
tame back, carrying In their hands the
shining: gold altar, candlestick and cross,
they found Marie-Odlle sitting as golden
In the sunshine beside the ciadle of her
on, sb Mary is shown In many an old
picture.
Marie-Odlle told thepi the tale of her
fortunes and her miracle. The Mother
(Superior, a disciplinarian, bade her go
ancj so lift the stain from the convent.
Juat an the Mother Superior Issued this
command, a ray of sunlight strays
through a stained glass window. Illum
inating the figure of Marie-Odlle and her
child. This Is especially startling, as Just
behind the young mother is a picture of
the Virgin and her Child upon a wall
The incident, utira the assemblage of
sisters into affrighted compassion, and
the Mother Superior Is deeply moved,
She relents and gives Marie-Odlle and
hei child Mr blelns aa they pase out
into the world.
Mr. Belaaco will present France Starr
in lbs title rote of "Marle-Odile."

NO 'BIRTH OF NATION'
FOR STEVENS' SHRINE
Lancaster Mayor Heeds Appeal
of Negroes Theatre Man
Invokes Courts
LANCASTKlt, Pa., Jan. 26,-Thls town
Is huzzlng with more or less excited com
ment over Mayor Trout's eleventh-hour
revocation of n lle-ense peimlttlng the ex-
hlbltion of the Clrilllth film, "The niith
of a Nation." The Mayor told Manager
Yecker, of Fulton Opera HoiihC. the
city's lending theatre, that not only would
he take away the amusement license If
Yecker persisted In showing the plctuio,
but that the latter would render himself
liable to prosecution for "criminal libel
on the memory of Tlmddeus Stevens,"
tho great commoner of Civil War and
reconstruction times.
George II. Atkinson and Albert II. rinnn- '
hoff, of New York, representing tho Kpoch '
Production Compnny. which is exhibiting
the film In various paits of the country,
arrived here todnv. Counsel weie en
gaged with a view to taking out an In
junction to pi event Interference by the
Mayor.
Stevens represented Lancaster County
In Congress during the stormiest period of
the nation's history. In the exhibited
film tho chaiacter of "Congressman
Stoneman" is a thinly veiled portraiture
of "Old Thad." with just enoush variation
of detail tu accent the distinguishing trait
In the lattei's cniecr, which was a zealous
championship of negro equality.
Yecker declares that before bonking the
attraction at nu playhouse lie obtained
the Mayor's consent.
Mayor Trout says he was moved to
withdraw his permission after n con
sultation with City Solicitor Bernard J.
Mvers. He seeks to Justify his change
of mind by asserting that he had been
deluged with protests of leading citizens
when It became known that "The lllrth
of a Nation," with Its scarcely veiled
Implications against a "distinguished
citizen of Lancaster," who died nearly
50 vears ago, was to he shown on a
local stage. Trout's critics, replying to
this statement, assert that tho only pro.
teeatanta were "the negro waiters as a
body and Congressman W. W. Orlest."
Both Mayor Trout and City Solicitor
Myers are devoted adherents of the Con
giessman, who is the leader of the dom
inant party In thU county. Mr. Orlest
is In Washington.

UP AGAINST IT
Kj
A woman w.as up against it for some
thing new for her table. " "What can
I serve that is different?" she asked.
She opened her LADIES' HOME JOUR
NAL and found twenty-eight new
dishes, all worked out for her, using
vegetables obtainable all the year
round.
Her daughter
wanted something new to play on
the piano, and she didn't know what
until she opened the same LADIES'
HOME JOURNAL. She found Joseph
Hofmann, the world's greatest pianist
maybe, telling her what to do!
So, mother and daughter were both
served by the same number of
The Ladies'
