"for the best nnd happiest reason in the world—be cause 1 fell wildly, madly, passionately, "romantically In love with a woman with a love such as no boy is capable of experiencing:. "I was one of the innumerable vic tims of early marriage. When I was nothing but an Immature, undeveloped boy ray fancy was caught by a pretty, little pink and white and gold girl, with rosy cheeks and baby blue eyed, and yellow curls. "We had the same taste In ice cream soda, and our steps matched in danc ing. and from these great and unmis takable evidences of mutual syrtinathy, we decided that we were created foi each other, and had been mvsteriously brought together by an All Wiso Provi dence. "It was one of the greatest blessings of poverty that most boys haven't enough money to marry their first sweetheart, and by the time they have accumulated the wherewithal to go to housekeeping on they have recovered completely from their attack of calf love, and so they are saved from wrecking their lives on the rocks of a youthful marriage. '■Unhappily for me, T was an orphan anc? had come Into a large fortune on my twenty-first birthday, so there was nothing to stand in the way of my in dulging in any kind of fatal folly to which T felt Inclined, and before I was two-and-twenty 1 had done my best to ruin my life hy making an utterlv un suitable marriage. A fwiri of l.lmltntlon* "1 nderstand me, I am saying noth ing against my little child wife—God rest her soul in whatever Heaven she inhabits. She was as she was made, a good. dear, sweet little doll baby, a little girl who stayed sixteen to the end of the chapter, whose Interests In the world were hound bv her own little circle, and whose aspirations never reached higher than pink candle shades or a new hat. "She never grew up. and I did grow up. That was our cruel misfortune. Bhe stayed just where she was when we were married, and I went on study ing. reading, learning from books and men, getting the bigger and the broad er outlook on life—a million new In terests deevloplng for me every hour of tn* day.

Delivered WALTER S. SCHELL 1307-1309 Market St., Harrisburg, Pa. BOTH f'HOXES—OPEN SATURDAY EVENING SATURDAY EVENING, a Second Time "I tried to take my wit* with me. I would talk to her of my hopia. and rlans, and aspirations, but she did not understand and would complain that the things that I was ambitious to do would take me away from home and that we were so comfortable as we were. "Not two years after we were mar ried 1 faced the ghastly fact that I had made the most terrible of all mis takes. that I was bound for life to a woman with whom 1 had not one single thought In common, a woman who could no more be a companion to me than could the Dresden statuette upon the mantelpiece. Worse still, 1 know with deadly certainty that my boyish fancy for her had flickered out, and in the light of my manhood's knowledge I realized that I had never really loved her at all. 1 had only Imagined T had. ' T went through years of this hide ous mockery of keeping up the pre tense of sentiment nnd .happy home and husband, and all the balance of the domestic drama, and then my child wife died Just as the gold in her hair was turning to ashes. "I was left a middle-aged man who had drunk deeply of a hitter cup. 1 was sadly wise In matters of senti ment and cynically suspicious of the vagaries of the human heart, and if you had told me that 1 should ever marry again I should have laughed you to scorn. I had tried it. Never again. Besides, I should have suid: 'I atn too old for romance. That be longs to boyhood, to sweet one-and twenty, not the cautious forties.' "And then the One Woman catne along, and I went down before her like ripe grain before the sickle. 1 was the man, mature, knowing all that I needed, all that I wanted, my tagtes formed, my ideals crystallized, and when I found the woman who embodied my every desire, I know that there could be no mistakes, no disappoint ments, no disillusioning. "And I found out that a boy's love is as water unto wine compared to a man's love: that a boy's passion Is the shadow of a flame to the con flagration of a man's; that a boy's ro mance is pale and colorless to the poini and splendor of the romance with which the trature man crowns his love. "A boy's love! A child's fancy! 1 tell you It is this love of the middle aged man that strikes the fire out of men's souls. By the grace of God this came to me, and that is why I mar ried a second time."

NOVELIZED FROM THE PHOTO PLAY OF THE 3AM6 NAME PRODUCED DY PATHC EXCHANGE, INC. / coPYK/cf/7: /$/£ sr v/LL/ArrMrt'i.ro/r o^3o/^Afer A light flashed forth into the night. "Now, we've got them where we want them," said the officer. "Man the launch and get away as quietly aa possible." Meantime Hernandez and his two companions, Ponto and the brute, waited with the patience of adventur ers for the replying signal. They were anchored in a speedy motor boat In a small cove to the south of Sea port. Receiving no answer to their signal, they flashed another flare Into the darkness. Once more they were disappointed. Suddenly Hernandez sprang to the engine and turned It over. "Steer an even course down shore," Hernandez cried to Ponfo. "Keep out of the open. If they press us we can land and make a getaway." The commander of the destroyer glanced through his glasses. "That's a bad crowd," be said, "a desperate bunch. Send up a gunner. I think I'll take a chance." They sent up a gunner and he took a chance. The bow of the motor boat flew Into space. Hernandez and his gang were plunged into sea. With one accord Hernandez and his two companions struck out for the shore. At the Hardin cottage, at the sound of the shot, Neal and Annette had rushed forth with Joe Welcher a close third. "Coma on, Joe," said Neal. "Stay where yon are, Annette." But Annette, always venturesome, insisted upon,keeping them company. They had not gone twenty paces when something happened. There was a sudden rush from down the road and a man, his breath coming quick and fast, darted upon them, passed them, and was away in an instant. But in that Instant he had accidentally or by design brushed violently against An nette and knocked her down. Neal raised her to her feet and then beside himself with anger dashed after this reckless individual up the road. "Look, look," cried Annette, "what Is this thing coming here?" This thing, as Annette called It, came on by leaps and bounds, with hands that wildly waved about its body and above Its head as it sped along. It was a figure, gigantic, fear ful. Welcher shuddered. The huge creature stopped short In his tracks and stared at Annette — stupefied and fascinated. The sharp crack of revolver shots brought him to himself. He looked behind him. Annette following his gaze saw figures rushing up the road way. The brute leaped up and with a huge bound rushed up the road and disappeared. An officer followed by a handful of sailors from the launch followed the brute up the road. CHAPTER X. A General Jail Delivery. Meantime N'eal, incensed at the as sault, either intended or accidental, upon Annette, was following his man across country. Hernandez was lean and agile and he kept well in the lead. At the railroad, obeying some sudden impulse, he turned and E-rung on down the tracks. Here he was at a disad vantage. Neal was accustomed to leap ing railroad ties, two at a leap. By this time, however, they had reached the bridge—a bridge over the Inlet to the north of the town. Her nandez darted out upon it with Neal immediately behind him, but just as Neal was about to clutch him from behind, Hernandez twitched aside and leaped to the waters of the inlet far beneath. Neal followed suit. Both men swam to shore and Hernandez, realizing for the first time that he was followed by one man and not two, now changed his tactics. He stood upon the shore and waited until Neal came up. Then with a sudden rush he darted forward and planted a murde*rous blow in the j direction of Neal's chin. When the blow was delivered Neal's chin was not there, nor was Neal, but I he was not far away. He ducked and j countered with his left, striking Her- j nandez full upon the throat. At that instant something small and ' dark and fat leaped out of the dark ness, drew a poniard, and before Neal ' could even turn, had cut a gash—a ' deep gash—in Neal's shoulder. This new assailant was Ponto. And then all three heard a sound ! upon the bridge. All three looked up. ! There in the moonlight, running full j tilt toward them, was a squad of uni- | formed men. Ponto and Hernandez took to their j heels and ran, but Neal in that instant leaped upon them from behind, clutched each man with one hand. "Come on, boys," he yelled, panting, "I've got them. Come." Meantime Mrs. Hardin had succeed ed in getting Annette back into the cottage. Annette had been somewhat Injured by the violence of her fall, Neal of the Navy SHOWN IN MOVING PICTURES MT niNTT AT EACH WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY Season's Greatest Movie Serial HARHISBURG TELEGRAPH but It was not that shock that af fected her the most. "It was that big wild man," she kept exclaiming, with terror shining from tier eyes. "It was his face —his face." She looked up suddenly. "His face," she kept repeating. "Where have I seen his face before." / There was a tramp of feet without and In another instant a naval officer In uniform appeared In the doorway, removed his cap and entered. Neal, pale-faced, but with flashing eyes, stalked In at his side. Annette uttered a cry of dismay. Neat's white shirt was drenched with blood. Ten minutes later Hernandez and Ponto were safely under lock and key —the only prisoners in the town jail. Three hours later, just as the moon went down, a huge figure cautiously crept up toward the barred window of the jail. It lifted Its hands high above its head, grasped the bars and drew itself up until It could peer within. "Break, brute," Hernandez com manded softly. "Tear them up by the roots. Get us out of this." Five minutes later these three ill -1 assorted figures crept noiselessly, stealthily Into the shadows of the night and disappeared. SYNOPSIS. On the day of the eruption of Mount Pelee Capt. John Ilardin of the steamer Princess rescues five-year-old Annette Illngton from an open boat, but is forced to leave behind her father and hla com panions. Illngton is assaulted by Her nandez and Ponto in a vain attempt to | get papers which Illngton has managed to send aboard the Princess with his daughter, papers proving his title to the lost 'sland of Cinnabar. Ilington's Injury causes his mind to become a blank. Thir teen years elapse. Hernandez, now an Opium smuggler with Ponto and Inez, a female accomplice, aj.d the mindless brute that once was Illngton, come to j Seaport, where the widow of Captain Hardin is living with her eon Neal and Annette Iliugton, and plot to steal the papers left to Annette by her father. THIRD INSTALLMENT THE FAILURE CHAPTER XI. May the Best Man Win. Neal Hardin, clad in his life-saving | uniform, eat upon the gunwale of his lifeboat, gazing seaward —ever sea | ward. He was seeing visions—always visions of the sea. He caught An nette's hand in his own. He turned to i her. "Annette," he cried, *Tve-,got to do i !t—l can't help it. It calls to me—the sea. It's in my blood." The girl smiled—a bit sadly per haps. But her eyes glowed. She re turned the pressure of Neal's hand with her warm, strong, girlish grasp. "It's in your blood," she repeated, "your father was a hero of the sea— he saved me—you saved me, Neal. You've got to go." "You—want me to?" he asked. "Yes, I want you to." , £ "I'll go," said Neal. The girl held In her right hand a | newspaper—the current issue of the : local Seaport weekly. "I saved this j just for you. Look. Read it, Neal," she said. She pointed to an item on the first page. CONGRESSMAN PRIME AN NOUNCES PRELIMINARY AN §>, NAPOLIS EXAMINATIONS. Congressman James J. Prime of Sea port announces that the preliminary examination for candidacy for Annap. oils finals will be held at the High School here on Thursday next at 9 a. m. The congressman's privilege It limited to but one appointment. May the best man win. "It's your chance, Neal," said the j girl. She placed a hand upon his j shoulder, and at her touch the blood j ran through his veins like wine. ] "You're the best man, Neal," she ! whispered, "always the best man. You're bound to win." Congressman James ,T. Prime was a Seaport man—and the biggest man in that shore town. He had sprung from boatbuilding, seafaring ancestors; he knew seagoing folki he liked them. And he liked the sea. And the pleas antest thing he did, he was wont to' tell his friends, was to recommend I clear-eyed, clean limbed young fellows for Annapolis. At the very time that Annette and Neal were sitting in the lifeboat gazing seaward, the congress man was at the post office, surrounded by p. circle of old cronies, holding forth upon the navy. As he talked he exam ined his mall, opening it with a clumsy forefinger. He had mail aplenty small envelopes and big ones, long and short. Three times he dropped a letter, once he dropped a check somebody picked them up for him. (To Be Continued.)

The front and lower edges are finished with hems and the bcco ning collar can be made of the material as it is here or of embroidery, mitred at the corners. Since the sleeves make a part of the yoke, there are no arm hole scams and the frock is an unusually comfortable one as well as an extremely fashionable one. The material illustrated is white cotton cripe with ring dots of blue and the collar, cuffs and belt are of white linen. Both the fronts and the back are tucked at their upper edges, but if smocking is liked, the tucks could be omitted and smocking in either white or a color used in their stead. Far the 4 year size will be required 2% yds. of material 27 or 36 in. wide, a yds. 44, with l /i yd. 27 in. wide for collar, cuffs and belt. The pattern No. 8761 is cut in sizes from 2 to 6 years.
