wants to see me as early la the
morning a 1 can get there. . She
says something has happened about
which she wants to talk to me."
Dicky gava a long low whistle.
'Sj if come!" he said, hair-musingly,
and fell to staring Into the
fire. '", :
" I was filled with bewilderment.
What could this thing be which men
aced Lillian's peace of mind., and
about which Dicky appeared to have
foreknowledge? lint I made no at
tempt to question him. I wouid not
force his confidence.
After a long pause he raised bis
head and looked at me fixedly.
"See here," he said a trifle rough
ly. "It Lsn't a particularly pretty
story you are going to hear from
Lll.. I happen to know, one end of
it. But don't let your rampant
Puritanism run away with you.' Re
member to make allowance if you
can."
The hesitancy in hia last words
affected me queerly. It was as If
he were pleading for something or
someone, and rras ashamed to put
his plea more definitely.
: "I fancy I shall look at the mat
ter. whatever It is, from Lillian's
standpoint," I said quietly.
' "No doubt," Dicky returned dry
ly, and then there was a long silence
Evidently he did not feel like talk
ing, and I was too busy with my
forebodings about Lillian to speak
What Troubles Katie?
"You'd better not plan for any
dinner here tomorrow night," Dicky
broke the silence suddenly. "Too
don't know how long LIl's affairs
will take, and If yon don't stay with
her, suppose you come oat with me
for dinner somewhere.
"That will be" very nice" I re
turned. "I will tell Katie about I
at once so that she won't plan any
thing' She generally makes her des
serts early in the morning, even be
fore she prepares breakfast.
. I shrank a little from meeting Ka
tie as I went toward the kitchen. Th
girl had seemed so unlike herself
for weeks past, so morbidly moody
and so prone to gnsts oweepin
that I disliked seeing ner. consci
entlotisly I had tried to find out
what so sorely troubled her, but she
bad hysterically repulsed me at each
attempt, and 1 had finally resolved
to let her alone nntil she should
come to me with her trouble of her
own accord.
But my resolution vanished as T
entered the kitchen and saw the
faithful girl who had done so much
for me crouching by the side of her
chair, sobbing violently. Jim, her
huband was nowhere to he seen
II went swiftly to 'her side, took
her hands and raised her to her feet
"Katie," I said firmly. '"I want
you to tell me now, at once, what
troubles you. I can't have yoi
grieving like this unless I know what
is the matter. You will make your
self ill tf yon go on In this way. Now,
dry your eyes and tell me about it. .
"Oh,-1 Missis Graham, dear Missis
Graham." Katie sobbed, clinging toj
me with convulsive, twitching hands-.
'I no wont to tell you. 1 have to
tell you pretty qveek. Rut I no ran
joost yet. 'You' send me, awav
qvetk as you know and I want to
stay here Jovit as long as I can."
I almost dropped her hands In
mv amazement at her words. The
wildest conjectures flashed Into m
mind. Had Katie been taking things
from me? Was there a series of pet
ty thieving behind her emotlrm? In
a moment, however. I had drawn her
close again. No matter what she
had done she was Jbut on Ignorant
child, and had been a most faithful
servant.
"What nonsense. Katie." I tald
poothingly. "You know It would
take something very bad Indeed to
make me send you away from me
And I'm very sure you havedone
nothing very wrong. And you know.
too." I shook, her playfully, "what
a strong imagination you have, t
am sure you are making yourself
sick over nothing."
"I T.-ill Yon" . . i
"Dot all right Tor yon to say." Ka
tie returned with sullen note in
her voice. Rut I noted with grati
fication that the convulsive sobs had
stopped, and that she was calmer.
"And 1 know you not care so much
It Meester Graham and dot old vo
mans. Dey make one devil of row
ven dey hear vot Is matter."
' "Katie!" I exclaimed all out of
patience with her air of mystery. VI
shall not leave this kitchen - until
you tell me what you mean. And if
you hav not told me in five minutes
I shall bring Mr. Graham out to
question you."
"Oh. no bring him In." Katie
said terrified. "I tell you right
away."
She put her bands together against
my shoulder almost as If she were
a little child saying a prayer. Her
face grew rosy with blushes and she
half-whispered the 'great secret to
me.
"After while, dere eoora little ba
by to Jim and me." t

PEN PREPARES
FOR BIG SHOW
Old-Fashioned Minstrel Pro
duction Is Pat On by
x - Professionals
Preparations are under way by the
inmates at the. state penitentiary for
the presentation cf their annual
show. ; - ;
,' To those whe have patronized and
enjoyed thsir previous efforts in this
line, there i; no necessity of going
Into details, but for" those who have
not had the bteaslon to seek an eve
ning of unique entertainment at such
a place soma explanation may be
needed." ' ' ' " :'."'"'
Once and sometimes- twice a year
a company of fellows who have mad
the big mistake and who are trylne
to come back, men who have pre
viously bnen entertainers and who
think one of the fundamentals of re
habilitation Is something to occupy
one's mind, get .together and after
week of grinding rehearsals have
never failed -to produce a eloan. high
class entertainment and to produce
it in a professional way. -
One thing they are jealously care
ful of and that is that their shows
be not presented until this profes
sionalism has been reached. No
amateurish spots are tolerated
To the' hundreds of good people
who have passed a surprisingly pleas
ant' evening as their patrons very
seldom have been heard to speak ex
cept In praise and surprise at seeinr
such shows under such conditions.
Last year's entertainment was on
musical comedy lines and was a bis
success. ' This year it wjll be the old
time minstrel.
: : From time to time new talent Is
added to the company and as those
who have been regular visitors will
remember, the boys have produced
bette shows each year.
This time will be no exception an1
all who devote an evening to enter
tainment at the big-stone building at
the foot of state street will come
away thinking new thoughts of the
fellows out there. "
The program will be printed lat
er, also all Information concerning
daes and seating facilities.
Two shows will be Kiven to the
nublie as usual, and owing to hund
reds beir turned awav at first-nlgh
dates, different arrangements will
be m&fte this time to avoid any dis
comfort to thoe friendly ones who
patronize and Incidentally help swell
the amusement fund.
: Tnder the leadership of men hn
have been entertainers for years and
who thoroughly know minstrelsy thle
production gives every promise to he
a banner effort.
To the older generation of show
gnrs". the boys will endeavor to re
call the happy davs gone by and
show minstrelsy taken from time to
tlrte when this mode of entertain
ment was In lt- infancy, and start
ing with nilly Emerson, will take
down to the present day through
stores when such men as 'Hilly Ker
sand. Jack Haverly. the Wests. Blllv
Van Lew Dockstader. and last but
not least, the late George Primrose,
danced end sang their way into the
hearts of the fathers and grandfath
ers of this generation.
Patrons are advised to avoid a rush
at the inrtliutlon and purchase their
tickets at down town selling points-

Worn Out In Mind and Body
Your child is quick to observe disturbances in your mental attitude or
physical condition. And when he asks: "What' the matter. Daddy?" .
there a ton of solemn anxiety in his Lttia voice. The depression
stamped upon yoa reflects intensely upon him because of his profound solic
itude, lie at once drops his playthings and rushes to your side, bet hii
happy smile has disappeared and his buoyant spirits are rone replaced
by a countenance of worry and a bearing of hopelessness.
