"My dear," her husband spoke the words with the deferential in tonation he almost always uses to ward her, "this is Lieutenant Ura fcam. You .have met Mrs. Graham and Alice, of course." "I am so flad you could come to us. Lieutenant Graham." his wife said brightly, shaking Dicky's outstretched band with effusion. 'And now.

Yesterday at the Grand theater, she was seen In the screen vera.on of her great Broadway success. "The Fortune Teller," from the pen of Leighton Graves Osmon. The picture, a Robertson Cole super-Special, lives up to its billing that it "stands forth triumphantly above the other great dramas of the fccreen." Characterization Gripping. "The Fortune Teller" is a far greater story on the screen than it wae on the stage. Miss Rambeau's gr pping characterization of Renee Browning. the much slnned against wife an dmotber, is tre mendously appealing, despite the handicaps ot the silent drama. Whatever effects are lost through Inabilty to utilize the human voice In registers intense emo tion they are amply offset by Miss Rambeau's mastery of the art of "make-up" and the skillful use of her mobile features. Her trans formatlos from a young and beau tiful woman of culture and refine ment to an old, drab and dissipat ed figure, is one of the outstand ing features of the picture. Her s mple gesture of proud and dignified resignation to the will of her husband when he drives her from home, believing her to have been unfaithful, pulls at one's very heart strings. There is not a dry ""f eye in the audience when she is deprived of the custody of ber child and forced to face the world d sgraced, alone and friendless. An even more compelling scene takes place when she recognizes her son 20 years later and she is a drunken old hag while be is on the verge of ruin. But it is in the great psychic scene that Miss Ram beau achieves her greatest, tri umph. She holds one spellbound by the witchery of her art. adv.) or Mrs. stockbrldge and the tea wfon. i am my own maid today." she! said smillnsly.

It was after the second cup that Al ce Holcombe lose to her feet decidedly.

I have been afraid that one of my nervous headaches was coming on " "Then you must lie down at once," Dicky spoke with loving uuthority. "Mrs. Graham always has been subject to nervous head aches." he explained courteously, "t.u since her accident they seem to be more frequent. I am quite worried about them." "Very well, I Will go upstairs with you." Mrs. Stockbrldge said a bit stiffly, and we were soon in the large, pleasant room assigned to Alice Holcombe and me. "Oh, by the way. Mrs. Graham." Miss Holcombe exclaimed guile lessly, "you know you prom:sed to let me see your gown as soon as I got here. Wherefe It. Milly?" "I told Christine to bang it up In that closet." ber hostess re plied, and I noticed her nostrils looked pinched and her lips were drawn apart. Miss Holcombe opened the clos et door, took down the gown and its hanger, turned it around, and uttered a dismayed exclamation One of the side panel draperies was covered with a dirty green substance. CHAPTER .".1 WHY MADGE FOLLOWED MISS HOLCOMUE'S LEAD . . Of the three exclamations (hat simultaneously escaped Miss Hol combe. Mrs. Stockbrldge and- my self at the sight of my discolored dresg that of our hostess was loud est, most piercing, seemingly most sincere. "Oh! Oh!" she fairly shrieked. "How terrible! What can have happened? There is nothing on that wall. I know." She sprang to the wall of the closet, passed the palm of her hand over it, turned Ihe palm, un spotted even by dust toward us. Miss Holcombe still stood holding the gown on Its hanger at arm's length. She was gazing intently at Mrs. Stockbridf.e, and I noticed that my principal's wife far pre ferred meeting my eyes to those of her old schoolmate. "Don't Try, Millie!" "Ob, dear, I see it all now." Mrs. Stockbridge was apparently almost sobbing by this time. "The closet of one of the back rooms has been freshly calsomlneJ. Christine must have misunder stood me and hung it there. Then she either remembered or saw the mischief and became fright ened, brought it In here and skipped down to the kitchen with out saying a word. The careless, wicked hussy! I'll go right down now and have it out with he She shall come up and beg yeur Derdon. Mrs. Graham. Oh, I can't tell you how humiliated I am." "Don't try. Mllly." Alice Hol combe advised drawlinely. "And as for having anything out with Christine you kneW" the em pbas's of the words was stressed by the keen glance of her eyes "that is out of the question. Whe ther it Is her fault or not, you have a dinner and a reception on tonight which depend upon your nerves and Christine's. Don't do anything to upset either of them. Instead, let's consider what's to be done. fou are about Mrs. Graham's general size, and both rie and I are quick at altering.. Haven't you an extra evening dress which you could lend her? My 1 ps partly opened to pro test this arrangement. Far, far rather would I have worn the skirt of my suit and my new blouse to the dinner, regardless of Dicky's sure chagrin, than to have accepted the loan of a gown from this woman whom I so disliked, and who. I was sure, had deliber ately spoiled my gown. But the remembrance of Alice Holconbe's caution to follow her ,lead In ev erything closed my mouth firmly. was fairly sure that she knew what she was about, guessed, wildly enough, it was true that her plan did not Include my wear ing of one of my hostess' gowns. "Oh. yes. indeed!"

She left the room swiftly. Alms Holconibe bent her lips to fnv .jr. 'Don't object, no matter how cMioi ions it l. ' she cau'ioned.

CRIME WAVE MYTH (Continued from page 1) lation at the Oregon prison grad ually decreased until September 15. 1919. when the low tide In enrollment was reached. On that date the records showed, accord ing to Mr. Webb's report, that there were 243 persons in theiTne prison, a decrea.se of 323. The present population ui mc ii'u' tion Is 349. or a number almost equal to that recorded In April o' the vepr 1918. IMohibition Credited. The unusual low population ot the orison in September. 1919. Mr. Webb said, was probably due to the call to arms. To this call Mr. Webb said the response was general, and the crook as well as the man bent upon observing the laws was enrolled for combat (duty. As a result many thou- sands of men and women were re- moved from Oregon, while those remaining at home were absorbed in honorable and well-paying oc cupations. Mr. Webb, while not an ab stainer prior to his adml.-slon to lli prison, believes .that prohi bition, more than any other ir- ncv. has contributed to the de crease in crime and lwwer uoiiu- lalion of the penal Institutions. j Prior to the year 1 1 T. . when pro hibition first became effective in Oregon. Mr. Webb sa'd an aver ree of 2;,o men were received at the penitentiary annually, while after, the law had ot en well under operation Die number of annual 'enrollments dwindled to 136.

Final determination of his case also is in the hands of the supreme court. Court Xnt "n. In conclusion Mr. Webb said he based his report entirely upon re telnt records at the prison, which were considered by prison wel fare workers as the best barome ter of crime conditions. It Is also contended by Mr. Webb that the average of con victions varies little from year to year4 consequently it cannot be lumcuu-u mat ine courts were more lax during the last 10 years than the 10 years previously.
