Tt's A beach tent, -wherein sandwiches, cake1) and other things aro sold during tho bathing hour. Do you remember when you were a mall child tho long, thin old man who used to come down on the beach at bath ing hour every day? And how you begged the pennies out of "Mother's" or 'Tnther's" pocket to buy the "simply delicious" homemade glngersnap3 and pretzels he used to sell? "What was hl3 name? Not that It makes any essential difference; It was the cakes that counted, but with each cak'e went a kindly smile. I can't remember his name, though I can lsual It his spare, old figure. He used to pack the cakes In bags of six and twelve and -wU them for flvo and ten cents, respec tively. And If you ever wanted anything good you flrot took yoilr dip In tho salt water and then with hands still wet grasped the thin, crisp glngersnaps, which on many occasions were Btlll a tiny bit warm, and your ,teeth Just sank Into them. Umh, umh and again umh! If those girls have anything like those to offer I don't wonder they aro making money. They have candy, cake, sand wiches and cigarettes for sale, and most cf tho "eats" are donations from the cot tagers; so It's pretty good for a small place like Cape May to be able to say that since July 4, when they started the tent, they have taken In more than $300 for the Red Cross. Edith Wilson and Amy Robinson "are prlmo movers In tho work and certainly deserve much praise for making a success of It. HAVE you been over to 708 Market street to see the Food Dehydration Exposition which is being held there? You ought to go, you know, for yon can't help learning a lot. It's under tho auspices of the National Leagno for "Women's Service, directly In charge of a commit tee of women from the Main Line -headed by Mrs. Phllllppus Miller, Mrs. Aflolph G. Rosengarten. Mrs. Rollln "Wilbur, Mrs. Horatio Gates Lloyd, Mrs. Horace "W. Boilers, Mrs. Henry H. Pease, Mrs. W. "W. Hepburn and Mrs. Oliver A. Judson. Through tho Intense heat of tho last few weeks these women have stood at their posts for the sake of patriotism and have demonstrated all tho practical ways of dehydrating and drying fruits and vege tables for winter use. That, jou see, has been and is the purpose of the exhibit. The Federal food administration Is interested In the work and has Indorsed It all veiy enthusiastically. Even before we went Into the war Mrs. Miller had been interested in this work and has done a great deal of It in the canning kitchens of the Main Line. She and Mrs. Charles Penrose, whose death occurred last winter, started a cooking club many years ago, and every week or 60 one of the members of the club enter tained the others at a luncheon of her own cooking. Then when the war came on these practiced cooks wero early In the work, and all credit la due them for their untiring efforts and splendid results. ISN'T it amusing, when you are with some people who are afraid in storms, but who aro equally afraid imparting their fear to any small children? It was in a camp this summer and there was a terrific thunderstorm; fo bad that one member of the"1- little camp colony who had retired arose and, carrying her small daughter in her arms, ciossed from her porch to the next and joined thp group of other women who wero huddled" in a corner trying to forget tho lightning and thunder by conversing in even tones, which sounded something like this: "Did you see the fish John whew) caught to day?" "No, my dear, but I heard it was (GRACIOUS! Look at that!) "WONderful." "I was with him (oh, Mary, did you see that Hash?), and it was really huge. (Do you think that's hall7)" "Well, they went on and on, and baby's mother even tried to Join in between flashes, until small Betty remarked won derlngly, "Why, mamma, what's er mat ter? You "faid?" "No indeed, deaile," re plied mamma. Jumping ns if a- pin had gone into her. "I'm not afraid, but I was worried for fear you might be, and' so brought you in here with the others." I hate to have to say that three-year-old tj.mv dM not look perfectly convinced. 1". NANCY WYNNE.

WONDERS OF ORIENT IN "CHU CHIN CHOW" Capacity House Sees Opening of New Shubcrt Theatre With Gorgeous Spectacle When the most fantaitle of fairy tales be comes riotous reality anything Is possible. Our own austere and cnerable William Pcnn eldently realizes this quite well. At any rate, he never turned a hair when the clock beneath his feet on City Hall tower last night swung back a cool 3000 years making tho world's most ancient author of fairy tales the Inaugural spirit of Philadelphia's newest and, In the opinion of many, handsomest theatre ' For It might truly be said that Schehera zade. Bhe of the fertile fancy who enchanted the Sqltnn Schahrlar, and Incidentally made tho fortune of Sir Richard Burton, with her matchless Arabian Night Tales, formally opened the new Sam S Shubert Memorial Theatre on South Broid street. For It was one of the most gorgeously Imaginative fables of old Bagdad that was most gor geouslv bodied forth when the long-heralded "Chu Chin Chow" made a record-breaking housa forget for more than three solid hours whether It was tho heat or the humidity. Ei on Scheherazade herself, wandering In spirit through this sometime dreary woild, must hae been da7ed and dazzled by the sheer opulence of color, tho variety of Inci dent, tho richness of atmosphere, with which Messrs William Klllott. F. Rav Comsteck nnd Morris Gest mounted her Rtory of All Baba and the Torty Thieves The staging exhlblis tho unfettered imiglnatlotf of a Wil liam Shakespeare (or a Francis Bacon) and the Infinite detail of a Theodore Dreiser. In Its pageantry of scenes. Its blzarrerle of cos tuming. Its ebullience of plot. It compares to the ordinary "extraasanza" as does the pea cock to the barns ard fowl, or the hasheesh pipe to the Missouri corncob. The delightful miniature scenes which alter nated with the huge "sets" were as atmos pheric as the latter, which showed colorful street bizaars, enchanted caes, desert lstas and glittering harems The danger of squandering indiscriminate supcrlatlies on 'Chu Chin Chow" is to miss the essential spirit of the thing The ery magnificence of a production may make It pall But all the lailshness of "Chu Chin Chow" does not stifle Its quaint fairy tale spirit, Its captivating Inconsequentlallty of structure Its plot, "written and created by" Oscar Asche, Is frequently confusion worse confounded. But the audience Is serene In the assurance that doesn't really matter, and reels in the nalie, simple musical numbera provided by Frederick Norton, even when they do. on rare occasion-, smack suspiciously of the "Follies" and "Passing Shows " The ere of last night's performance la undoubtedly largelv due to the fact that the staging Is by V I.all Swete. who partici pated In staging the original production, which has been running for three jears In London and who staged the first American production In New York one ear ago Pic torial effectiveness and a certain Jocose sim plicity of outline, rather than authentic hls trlonlsm, are tho qualtltles that have been stressed In most of the many characteriza tions Florence Reed as the slave gltl, who Is tne pivotal figure In accomplishing the ruin ol tho robber chief masquerading as Chu Cnl. Chow, the merchant, contributed the single piece of "Intense" acting. She Is Ideally suited to the role and pliverl It with author ity. Lionel Braham In the title role "fletrhtr Ired" his Hues so severely that many of them were lost, but his appearance was the ery Incarnation of sinister savagery. It would be impossible to do justice here to the capital characterizations of many others In the cast's long roster. Richie Ling vas delightful as the It responsible All Baba, but Rugene Cowles might have made the role df Abdulla less wooden But the spirit of the performance generally was splendidly main tained, and even the yaks, camels, donkeys and other animals Introduced In some scenes appeared to be on their mettle. Much attention was bestowed by the audi ence upon the beautiful lines of the theatre, and Its tasteful color scheme of old rose and gray with gold decoration, as well as the spacious stairway, which has been preserved, evoked praise. A large portrait of the late Sam S. Shubert adorns the black-and-white marble lobby, and after the performance Miss Reed read a glowing tribute from Morris Gest to the man whom the playhouse honors and to the part played by him and his firm In the affairs of the theatre. Breezy Show at Casino Although war is levying a heavy toll on Philadelphia, It Is 'very apparent from the character of burlesque presented at the Casino last night, and also from the man ner by which it was received, that the city does not Intend to suspend the burlesque tpe of amusement. Harry Hastings' "Big Show" was on the boards at the popular Casino and was well received. It only received what It deserved, for It proved to be an excellent production. Hostlpgs' show is lively from the start until the curtain drops on the final number and a cast of old-time comedians and new-time chorus girls in daring costumes keeps the audience In a happy mood Among the prin cipals are Alma Bauer, Phil Peters, Hazel Lorraine, Marjorle Bandavllle, Alice Gull mette, Harry Hollls. Lee and Cort and Coocln and, Amato "Don't Stop" William Penn A show of exceptional merit, marked the opening of the season at the William Penn. "Don't Stop," a musical revue, Is the head line attraction, and Justly deserves that spot on the bill. This act, which is a miniature production, Is elaborately staged and over flows with good comedy and catchy songs The cast Is up to tho minute and takes full advantage of every opportunity. Burns and Klssen, in comedy and songs; Fadle and Ramsden, In the sketch, "Charlie's Visit," and Weber and Rldener also scored hits. "To Hell With the Kaiser," 'the photo play attraction, Is full of thrills and Bur prises and serves to show the atrocities of the Germans. "Kiting Generation" Colonial "The Rising Generation," a Juvenile act. well presented. Is the best offering this week at the Colonial. Tho young players are gifted with an abundance of humor and they "put their lines across well." They received warm approval. Briene and King, In songs and dances; the pi ing Summers, in some exceptionally ulmcuit gymnasuo icau, urccmcQ ana Wil liams, dancers, and Charles Class, who ren dered a number of songs, were among the other good acts. Alma Rubens in "False Am bition," a pleasing photoplay, concluded the performance. Fred Binder at Trocadero Fred, Binder and a company of good bur leque performers presented "Girls From the Follies" at the Trocadero last night. Binder, as the chlef comedian, divided honors with Harry Van, Charles Ascott, Al Casey, May Barlow, Anna Armstrong, Ray Wlnthrop, Francis Woodford and Babe Lyvetta. A well-balanced chorus gives .Binder and other principal!

Directed by clarfir-9 H Hadfror Goldwn Play. A combination of good story. Intelligent direction nnd fair cast makes this newest Goldwyn product a winner. In tho selec tion of Rocllffe Fcllowes as a leading man. the opening scenes make tho spectator won der why such a husky person his been cho sen when there are so many lighter Juvenile leads, but when the action gets under way the reason for tho choice Is apparent The hero hns to swim, climb, Jump, run an auto and fight four hlghwavmen a la Douglas Fairbanks Madge, Kennedy Is the girl who marries to gain the roslduo from nn estate. .She pur chases n husband of convenience, but finds out that she loves him after being kidnapped on an Island and her husband Is wounded In a fight. The absence of the soft lightings are no ticed In tb's production, for there arc nu merous opportunities for beautiful tonlngs throughout. Only once did a scene show spe clal effort. The direction was good and Mr. Badger should bo given more Goldwjn stories to direct. In tho unfolding of this delightful comedy there appeared, besides the two principals above mentioned, George Bunnv, brother of tho late John Bunnv; Paul Dverton, William Davidson, Jean Armour, Ravmontl Hackett and an unprogrammed farmer boy. rALACE "The Glorton Adventnre." with Mae Marsh Dlrreterl bj Hnbart Henle from etory by Edith Tfirnard AMano Gofdtvyn Play Goldwjn's greatest fault Is Its lack of good stories for Its plajers Thev lmvo the di rectors and sense of the artistic In settings, but only a few of a v ear's output of movies have carried Interesting plots. Hobait Hen ley has worked hard with this script, but the results are handicapped The plot concerns the death' of an aunt who leives her money to a niece. Tollowlng an Idea of the nunt, this girl travels north ward, meeting the hero of the story, who was Involved In an emplojes' strike. The1 girl gives her money to these men and re turns home, where, of course, the hero also goes. Mae Marsh was effective ns tho girl and appeared to good advantage In many beau tifully arranged lightings Her leidlng man. Wjndham Standing, presents a pleasing ap pearance. Alec B. Francis, Paul Stanton, A. Voorhees Nood. Ivan Christ Sarah Alex ander and Mabel Ballln are In tho support Several good character studies were Intro duced to lend atmosphere.

REGENT "The IIouw of Mirth," with ar'clat east. Directed by Albert Capellanl Metro play This Is a complicated scenario, ind et the manner In which Director Capellanl has carried each character through the story Is a credH. to his ability. He alo had the advantage of a good cast, whose Individual acting was excellent. TO thoso who have read Edith Wharton's book there will bo tho added Interest In seeing how the finale has been handled The ending of the film leaves a doubt as to whether or not the heroine dies, while In the original novel the poison acts. Husbands, wives, lovers nnd fortune hunt ers are here all mixed In what Is supposed to be a representation of life in soclet's upper strata The settings are within keep ing, while the photography gives touches of the nrtlstlc The exceptional cast Includes Katherlne Harris Barrymore, as the heroine; Christine Mayo, Lottie Briscoe, Pauline Welsh, Mngglo Western, Nellie Parker, Sidney Bracy, Kemp ton Greene and Morgan Jones Edward Abeles, Henry KolUer, Joseph KilRour nnd AV. D. Fisher have the principal male roles. STRAND "Till I Come Bark to You." directed by Cecil B De Mills Storj by Jeanio Mac rheraon Arteraft play. Jeanio Macpherson will be ren embered for her good scenarios of "Joan the Woman" and "The Woman God Forgot," as well as a lot of smaller productions. Her faculty for giving the little details of a story makes her work worth while In Its direction she has had the happy choice of Cecil B. DeMllle, whose directing needs no Introduction, This Btory concerns tho conflict in Europe as seen from the standpoint of a child In It is to be found a knowledge of tho pscholo ogy of children, while her study of a Belgian child is very good The Belgian King, Amer ican soldiers and German spies are tho char acters introduced. G. Butler ClonbaUgh Is none other than that sterling actor, Gustav von Seyfferltz, who Is now a director In his own right. He haB the role of the German agent. Florence Vldor, recalled for her placing opposite Ses sue Hayakawa, Is the heroine. Others In the cast include Georgle Stone, the boy, Julia Faye, Lillian Lelghton, Clarence Geldart, May GIracci, W. J. Irving, Winter Hall and F. Butterworth. The Victoria Is offering Theda Bara In a revival of "The Clemenceau Case." while at the Locust Is to be found D. W. Griffith's "The Great Love." This is the finsl week for "Hearts of the World" at the Garrlck and "America's An swer" at the Forrest." "Keating's Kut Ups" Cross Keys Klara Keating's Kut Ups furnished a pleasant fifteen minutes' entertainment at the Cross Keys and was by 'far the most at tractive on the week's unusually attractive bill. The comedy sketch "A Jolt From Jane" also was unusually funny and helped to keep the audience In an exceptionally good humor. Among the other good acts were Raines and Goodrich, in arled songs; the White Steppers Flsk and Fallon and, lastly, but by no means least, the Colli Opera Company, which presented an unusually good act. J. Raymond Nixon 'Grand From the standpoint of, real entertainment the character monologue given by J, Ray mond Is easily the best thing on the bill at the Nixon Grand. His stories overflow with wit and have tho ring of consistency. Ray mond's a'ct generally Is a vaudeville relief and a pacemaker for originality. "Liberty Aflame" is a good patriotic feature. Others on the bill are the Three Eddys, Merrltt and Bldewell, West and Coffman and Gwlnnell and company. Melody and Mirth Globe This week's varied program at the Globe vaudevlle house fairly bubbles over with melody and mirth. "Eggs," a musical tabloid, and the Rlalto Revue are jlngly, tuneful fe'a. tures, while the Seven Wroe's1 Buds are cleve juvenile singers and dancers. Other worth while numbers are Marietta's Manikins; Ndne Naess, singing comedienne; Coupe and Houghton, song 'and dance sketch; Burke Brothers and Kendall, jugglers; Fabor and Taylor, comedy offerings; Harry Morbll and company, in' "Self-defense" ; Fox and Jngra ham In bltB of musical comedy, ' " LAUGHTER REIGNS IN GOOD SHOW AT KEITH'S Barnes and Crawford and Blossom Scelcy Head Bill of Merit Comedians may now commandeer applause If an audience Is Indifferent to their ifforts T Roy Barnes did It last night at Keith's nt tho point of a gun Ihe weapon carried a baonct nnd thoso present decided tn seo the point quickly when Barnes wandered Into the audience lie. with his partner, IlesBle Crawford, scored ono of the hits of the show but It wns by no means tho biggest If any niio hid possessed a laughometer it would havo undoubtedly registered more laughs for Chailes Irwin, whoso name wis b-irely on the bill, than any act In tho show Irwin carried no fancy trappings or sets but he presented a wealth of new Idens In the way of songs and stories He could havo easily tnken numetpus encores or "stopped the show" hnd heVleslred Blossom Peeley sang and danced and was assisted by a quartet and a high-powered cornetlst.

Here stood the hollow tree in which Blue Jay nnd his gang had their refuge when danger threatened. ' " The balloon skimmed along high above the hill and Peggy wondered how sho was going to get down, fehe didn't have a para chuto and there seemed no wa to stop her queer airship But the Jays knew how to manage It. They caught hold of the thistledown In their claws and pulled with all their might. Slowly they dragged the balloon to earth; anchoring be neath a spreading tree Teggy swung her trapeze until sho could reach a wild grape vine and down this sho slid In safety. ' Come, see our orchards," screamed Blue Jav, leading tho, way to a burned-over slope Peggy wondered whit he could mean, but followed eagerly among the blackened stumps. "There, Isn't that a fine job," he tried, pointing to icus of small green sprouts arranged In an orderly way amid the ruins of the fire-wrecked forest. "What are they?" asKed Peggy "Cherry trees," declared Blue Jay proud ly, while the other Jas giggled at Peggy's look of surprise. "See how vigorous they are. in a couple Ol EUinmem mcj u no husky young trees. We Jas planted every one of them " "How splendid," exclaimed Peggy. "Where did you get the seed?" "Cherry pits that the women's canning army threw over," exulted Blue Jay "We worked hard for weeks bringing them here and planting them." "Why did you do it?" asked Peggy won derlngly. "We wanted to show OU and the Birds that Jays can be useful citizens when they want to be. I guess now jou'U admit that we can be crop producers as well as de stroyers." , "I surely will," agreed Peggy "I guess you've earned the right te be taken back into Blrdland." All the Jas gave a happy chuckle and hopped about In a queer little dance of Joy. "And that Isn't all we've done," continued Blue Jay, leading her to a part of the hill too rugged to be used as an orchard "Look at these nut trees we've planted, hickory, walnut and beech." "Wonderful!" cried Peggy. "And we've gathered a big store of beech and hazel nuts, too. You can give them to humans for food. They are In our hollow tree " Off the Jays flew, so fast that Peggy had difficulty following them When Peggy reached the hollow tree, she found the Birds In a council of indignation "See what's happened'" screamed Blue Jay. "Some one has piled up rocks so that we can't get at our storehouse. I call that mean." "It surely Is," agreed Peggy, "I'll clear them away for you." She went vigorously at the rocks, and soon opened a hole through them. .Reaching in to get a grip on a particularly large stone, her fingers touched a piece of cloth. Inside the cloth was something hard. Wondering what It could be sho drew It out. It wan a small bag, heavily loaded. As she lifted it from the hole, several gold pieces fell from a hole in the side.

Is If' "Whv, I I suppose we csn give It " "But even then we're exchanging It" for something we want, iren't we" We vvn.it to make the other fellow happv, don't we" 'Well, es, we do" Mr inltli spoke with sudden fervoi "But It doesn't alwajs vvo.k that way Look at thp case .leht here. Now, very likely this er Mr. Fulton thought those 5300,000 were going to make these peo ple happy Personification of happiness that woman was, a few minutes ago, wasn't she'' Mr Smith had regained his air of agg. leved irritation "No, she wasnt But that w isn't the mone'a fault It was her own She didn't know how to spend It. And tint's Just what I mean when I say we've got to do our part money won't buy happiness, unless we ex change It for the things that will bring happiness "If we don't know how to get any happi ness out of ?"i, we won't know how to get it nut of JIOO, or $5000, or $500,000. Mr Smith I don't mean that we 11 get the same amount out of J5, of course though I've seen even tint happen sometimes but I mean that weve got to know how to spend ?5 and to make the most of It " "I reekon on'ie right. Miss Maggie" "I know I'm light, and t lent Ihe moneys fault when things go wrong Money's all light Ilovpmonev Oh, es I know we're taught that the love of money Is the root of all evil But I don't think it should be so necessarily. I think monej's one of the most wonderful things In the world It's more than a trust and a gift It's an opportunity, and a test It brings out what's strongest In us, every time And It does thit whether It's $5 or $500,000 If If we love chocolate eclairs and the movies better than roast beef and good books, we're going to buy them, whether the 're chocolate eclairs and movies on $5, or chnmpagne suppers and Paris gowns on $500,000 " Mlbs Maggie gave a shamefaced laugh and sank back In her chair. "You don't know what to think of me, of course; and no wonder," she sighed "But I'vefeit so bad over this this money busi ness right here under my ees. I love them all, every one of them And you know how It's been, Mr. Smith Hasn't It worked out to prove Just what I say? Take Hittle this afteinoon She said that Fred declared she'd been trlng to make every one of her 'Jims' a 'James.' ever since the monev came But he forgot that she did that very same thing before It came All her life she's been try ing to make $5 look like $10 ; so when she got the $100,000, It wasn't six months before she was trying to make tnat iook nice Joo.ooo. ' I reckon ou're right " "Jane Is just the opposite. Jane used to buy Ingrain carpets and cheap chairs and cover them with mats and tidies to sive them ',' "You're right she did '" Miss Maggie laughed appreciatively 'They got on your nerves, too, didn't they? Such layers upon layers of covers for ever thing' It brought me to such a, pass that I went to the other extreme. I wouldn't protect anything which was very repre hensible, of course Well, now sho has pretty dishes and solid silver but she hides them In bags and boxes, and never uses them ex cept for company She doesn't take any more comfort with them than she did with the in grain carpets and cheap chairs Of course, that's a little thing I only mentioned It to Illustrate my meaning Jane doesn't know how to play. Eflie never did. When you can't 6pend five cents out of $100 for pleasure without wincing, OU needn't expect you're going to spend $5 out of $100,000 without feeling the pinch," laughed Miss Maggie. "And Miss Flora? You haven't mentioned her," observed Mr. Smith, a little grimly. Miss Maggie smiled; then she sighed. "Poor Flora and when she tried so hard to quiet her conscience because she had bo much money! But you know how that was You helped her out of that scrape. And she's so grateful! She told me jesterday that she hardly ever gets a begging letter now." "No; and those she does get she Investi gates." asserted Mr Smith. "So the fakes don't bother her much these days. And she's doing a lot of good, too. In a small way," "She is, and she's happy n,ow," declared Miss Maggie, "except that she still worries a little because she Is so happy. She's dis missed the maid and doeB her own work I'm afraid Miss Flora never was cut out for a fine-lady life of leisure, and she loves to putter in the kitchen. She says it's such a relief, too, not to keep dressed up In com pany manners all the time, and not to have that .horrid girl spying 'round all day to see if sho behaves proper. But Flora's a dear." "She is! and I reckon it worked the best with her of any of them." "Worked?" hesitated Miss Maggie. jPorfQr -7q "Er that Is I mean, perhaps sho's made the best use of the hundred thousand, stammered Mr. Smith. "Who's been er tho happiest " "Why, y-es, perhaps she has, when you come to look at It that way." "But ou wouldn't er advise this Mr. Fulton to leave her his twenty millions?" "Merc '" laughed Miss Maggie, throwing up both hands 'She'd faint dead away at the mero thought of It " it i. i - t ....., Atf Smith turned on his heel and resumed his restless pacing up and down the room From time to time he glanced futlvely at Miss Maggie Miss Mngglo, her hands Idly resting In her lap, palms upward, was gazing fixedly nt nothing "Df Just what are you thinking?" he de manded nt Inst, coming to a pause at her side. "1 was thinking nf Mr Stanley G Ful ton," she answered not looking up Oh. ou were' ' There was an odd some thing In Mr Smith's voice "Yes I was wondering about those twenty millions " "Oh, vou were'" The odd something had Increased, but Miss Migglo's eyes wero still d.eamlly fixed nn "pace 'Yes I wns welldoing what he had done with them " "Had dono with them?' "Yes, lu tho letter, I mean" She looked up now lnfnint surprise ' Don't you re member' Thero wns a letter a second letter to be opened in two years' time They said that that was to dispon of tho re mainder of tho property his last will and testament " "Oh, es, I remember," assented Mr Smith, turning nn his heel again 'Then you think Mr Fulton Is deid' ' Mr Smith was ver carefully not meeting Miss Maggie's eves Whv. ves, I suppose so" Miss Maggie turned o hei meditative gazing nt nothing "Tho two venrs nre nearly up ou know I vas talking with Jane the other da Just neM November ' "Yes, I know " The words were very near a groan, but at once Mr. Smith hurriedly repeated, 'I know 1 know'' very llg.itlv. Indeed, with an apprehensive glance at Miss Maggie "So it seems to me If he were alive tint he'd bo hick by this time And so I was wondering about those millions," she went on musinglv. "What do ou suppose he lus done with them" she asked, with sudden animation, turning full upon him "Why, I I How should I know ' ' stut tered Mr Smith, a swift cilmson dyeing his face, Miss Maggie laughed merrily "You wouldn't, of course hut tint needn't make vou look as If I'd intlmited that you had them' I was only asking for our opin ion, Mr. Smith," she twinkled, with mischiev ous ces "Of course'" Mr Smith laughed now, a little pieclpltately "But, indeed, Miss Mng gle, ou tinned so suddenly and the question was so unexpected that I felt like the small bov who, being alwas blamed for every thing at home that went wrong, answered trembllngl, when the teacher sharply de manded. 'Who made the world?" 'Please, ma'am I did, but I'll never do It again1' "And now." said Mi Smith when Miss Maggie hid dono laughing at his little slor 'suppose 1 turn the tabUs on ou" What do ou think Mr. Fulton has done with that monev ? ' "I don't know what to think" Miss Mag gie shifted her position, her face growing In tently Interested agiin "I've been trying to remember what I know nf tho man" 'Whit you know nf hlln '" cried Mr. Smith, wllh staitled ec- "Yes, from the newspaper nnd magazine accounts of him Of course, there was quite n lot about him at the time the money came, and Flora lot me read some thlng3 she'd saved In vears gone Flora was alwas In terested in him, vou know" ' Well, what did you find?' "Why, not much really about the man. Be sides, very likely what I did find wasn't true Oh, he was eccentric Everything mentioned trat But I was tivlng to find out how he'd spent his money himself I thought that might give me a clue about the will, I mean " 'Oh, I see' 'Yes, but I didn't find much. In spite of his reported eccentricities, he seems to me to have done nothing extraordinary." Oh, indeed " murmured Mr Smith "He doesn't seem tn hive been very bad " "No?" Mr Smith's eyebrows went up "Nor very good either, for that matter" ' Sort of a nonentity, perhaps " Mr. Smith's lips snapped tight shut Miss Maggie laughed softly. "Perhaps though I suppose he couldn't really be that not very well with twenty millions, could he? But I mean he wasn't vcrv bad nor vcr good He didn't seem to be dissipated or mixed up In nny scandal, or to be recklessly extravagant, like so many rich men 'On the other hand, I couldn't find that he'd done any paitlcular good In the world Some charities were mentioned, but they were peifunctorj- apparently, and I don't believe from the accounts that he ever really Inter ested himself In any one that he ever really ca.ed for any one" 'Oh. you don't'" If Miss Maggie had looked up she would have met a.most discon certing expression In tho eyes bent upon her. But Miss Maggie did not look up. "No," she proceeded calmly. "Why, ho didn't havo a wife and children to stlr'hlm from his selfishness He had a secretary, of course, and he probably never saw half 'his begging letters I can Imagine his tossing them aside with a languid 'Fix them nn Janic nics give the creatures what they want! ly don't bother me ' " i oid FORREST LAST I 'IWICE DAILY, i 2 15 and 8:15.

"You think there's something worth while he might have dono with those millions, then?' pleaded Mr. Smith, a sudden peculiar wlstf utness in his eyes. "Something he might have done with them!" exclaimed Miss Maggie. "Why. It seems to me there's no end to what he might "ave Hone with twenty millions " "What would you do7" "I? do with twenty millions?" she breathed. "Yen, vou" Mr. Smith came nearer, his fare working with emotion. "Miss Maggie, If a man with twenty millions that Is, could ou love a man with twenty millions, if If Mr Fulton should ask you If I were Mr. Fulton If " His countenance changed sud denly He drew himself up with a cry of dismay -oh, no no I'vo spoiled It all now That Isn't what I meant to say first.

' Why, Mr Smith, w-vvhat " Only the crisp shutting of the door answered her. With a beseeching look and a despairing gesture Mr Smith had gone. Once again Miss Maggie stood looking after Mr Smith with dismayed eyes Then, turn-, Ing to sit down, she came face to face with her own Imago In the mirror. "Well, now you'vo done It, Maggie Duff," she whispered wrathfully to the reflection In the glass "And you've broken his heart! He was was going to say something I know he was And you?
