"I want to see nothing except the reply lo Hint message," replied Shute, sitting down and making himself com fortable for a long nnll. After six hours of wulilng. the oper ntor bunded lilui a coble dispatch. It rend : "Pord out of town. Report to Amer lenn consul. Naples.

The wire ess operator was a crook. He was a purty to the devilish conspiracy thnt had drugged and put lilm away on tho ship I Huge such ns he had never felt In all bis life consumed him. Ho could not curb bis desire to hurl himself up-, on Manuel nnd bent lilm to Insensibili ty. But ns ho wns on bis toes to spring, a restraining baud was laid upon his ami. ' It wns Miss Riley. "May I speak to you, plcnsc?" Itcluctnntly Win Shute turned from his enemy. Ho nnd Miss Hlley walked along the deck until they were out of hearing of everybody. ' ; . . "I looked for you before the pass engers went ashore," she snld. "You sec," she- went on, then faltered "you see I wanted to ask a fnvor of you." Slio stopped.

I have a queer feeling thnt something Is going to happen. It's perfectly silly, of course, but If something should, will you look af ter mother? Sho Is so devoted to me nnd so dependent on mo thnt I don't know whnt she " Agnlo she fal tered. " "I sure will nnd look after yon, too." nnswered Win. "That's so good of you. But don't trouble about me. It's mother I'm worried nliout." Then .with a look of unconcealed admiration she concluded : "Hut I feel better now. It seemed to mo thnt you were the only one on the ship that I could go to the only one I wanted to trust mother to." . .1 Notwithstanding the bitter disap pointment of the dny, Win Kliuie went Into dinner that night with a heart n buoyant iir a toy balloon. He was planning u walk mid u talk by southern moonlight . villi Miss lllley. Hut nil evening she pnerd the deck In earnest conversation with Jerrold Miinsel, Win Sbuto figured out to his own aitllHfuclloii why things worn thus. He knew that SI Us lllley wns receiving wireless mesKiiges ho had seen Mnn se bund her iiiorn limn one mid Kliulo decided Hint the operator was Rage, Such as H Had Never Felt In All Hla Life, Consumed Him. taking' this means to keep In touch with her. Whereas a steward would carry Miirroiilgruins to other passen gers, Jed Mnnsel Invariably delivered Mlsa Itlley's tnesmigoa himself. Nat urally this attention would be recog nised by an appreciative person like Miss lllley. Thnt Jerrold Mnnsel wns downright crooked, there wasn't much doubt. But Win hnd to admit that his proof was fur from conclusive. Trls Ford's wireless was n fake but there was the possibility of faking somewhere along the line of transmission. Mnn sel hud bet heavily against Ihe Gliint klllers but so hnd thousands of oth er persons. The operator's remark about the player who would he missed from the line-up was strong circum stantial -evidence against hlm-nnd still It could have been a "second guess;" he might hnve henrd after the rerles thnt one of the best men hud been out of the gnme. Certainly there wasn't enough solid proof to warrant Win Shute In denouncing the wireless operator. And If he did If he wnrned Miss lllley ngnlnst Jerrold .Mnnsel It would Involve n disclosure of the fact that he, James Wlnton Shute, wns n professional baseball plnyer. He wasn't ready to mnke that admission. The fnet Hint the finest girl didn't cure n hnug for the national pastime con stituted n mighty serious problem. It wasn't pleasant to continue to mas querade ns "Mr. James." but It was an Incognito enforced. So things were permitted to drift It was moonlight on the Mediter ranean, the lust night but one of Win Shute's long voyage to Naples from unconsciousness. He hnd started out to act the- pnrt of a "trusty" to do nothing against the captain's author ity, but secretly to work toward one end, namely, the circumvention of his enemies. After n fortnight nt sea, al though ho was naturally Interested In his own case, he hnd lost much of his violent anger against those who hnd forced him to become n passenger on the ship. For If they hndn't If ho hnd remained nt home he would not hnve met the finest girl I As Tils Ford would hnve said: "Tluire nln't noth ing, to thnt.". .- ' - -. -- (To Be Continued. ) Don't Throw Away Old Shoes!

The Liberty thcutcr will show twoi acts 'of vaudeville Tuesday and Wed nesday, direct from the Hippodrome in Portland, In addition to Marguer Ito Clark In "Eusy to Get." This in described as a romantic comedy of the light, vivacious type for which Miss Clark Is famous. Tbe heroine Is a bride of only two hours, who overhears her husband tell a friend that all women are "easy to get."

A rush and genial lover Is always a popular Idol. His very fickleness Is enchuntlng. For tho man who gives hla sweetheart something to worry about Is always in her thoughts. Sir Arthur Wing Pinero. the eminent English dramatist, creat ed this type of hero in the new Tom Moore picture, "The Guy Lord Quex," which was played on the stage in both England and America. The film production will be present ed at the Liberty theater Sunday and Monday. The story of the charming lover's last escapade follows: Lord Quex (Tom Moore) is a like able young man whose company is entirely pleasing to the older mem bers of London society, and more or less sought by the younger set, es pecially, the girls. This romantic element appeals to the spirited young fellow and he becomes a lover of wide scope, never serious, but always Involved. ... May Allison, the captivating Metro star, in "The Cheater," is announced as the fcuture attraction at the Grand theater for a run of two days, beginning Monday. This is described ns one of the photoplay sensations of tho year, presenting this fasci nating actress in an intensely dra matic role. "Tho Cheater" Is a screen version of "Judnlft" the notable stage play. The theme of "The Chenter" Is one that Is uppermost In the minds of thinking people throughout the en tire civilized world at the present time. The play deals with the heal ing hv fnith. The higlrly dramatic story of "The Cheater" revolves around Lily Meuny, the daughter of an unprin cipled ..conjuror, known as "Peg." These two play upon the credulity of refined people, who take Btock in their fake science and who even come to them to be cured of imagi nary Ills. Hearing that Lily has power to heal the sick, young Judah, Lord Asgardy, summons her to his ances tral home and begs her to heal his sister, Eve, who has been declared an incurable cripple. , Confronting the simple faith of the little girl and that .of her noble-minded brother, Lily suddenly experiences a change of heart and, thoroughly ashamed of her many deceptions, she sets about to demonstrate that there is some good in her, after all. The drama is said to be developed with the skill of a master playwright and the leading role affords Miss Al lison an unusual opportunity tor a dlBplay of her emotional powers. ...
