So the anxious years passed until his only son, Alvln, had married -nd gone abroad upon his wedding tour. One evening the butler handed Jerry a package and at the same time de livered a wireless message telling that Alvin and his bride, Edith, were arriving, on that day's ship from abroad. Marston read the wireless and then opened the package. Before him lay a red poppy, a sign of death sent him by Hop JJ. When Alvln and his bride reached the house, they found Jerry dying with the red poppy clasp ed In his hand. Alvln knew enough of Chinese lore to realize that his father had received the tong's death signal and thereafter Alvin lived in the dread of a like warning. On their wedding anniversary Alvln present ed his wife with a string of pearls. That night as Edith lay in bed, she experenced what she thought was a frightful nightmare. Alvin, with a leering face, seemed to appear at her bedroom window, enter and try to caress her. The next morning she discovered that her pearls were miss ing. Alvln assured her that the mystery would soon be cleared up and bidding her his usual affectionate goodbye, proceeded to his office.

His demeanor was bestial and when she tried to summon help, he silenced her, and then, throwing her pearls at her feet, disappeared. Mystified beyond expression she proceeded to summon Helen and Rex Durant, near neighbors and best friends. They assured her that Alvin would soon come home safely and as his usual self. Her night of worri- ment placed the wires mind In a state to imagine almost anything. When she read in the morning of a crime in Chinatown (the murder of Hop Li, and the burning of his opium den) she strangely connected It with her husband, and his revolt ing appearance the previous evening. She associated his disappearance with the crime and decided to announce to her friends that her husband had gone to a santaortum. Several weeks later Rex and Helen Durant came upon Alvin walking aimlessly through the streets. They took him home and told Edith her husband had escaped from the sana torium. Continuing the deception, she accepted the man as Alvin, but his strange conduct so mystified her that she was mentally tortured. She was convinced that the man was not her husband, but one who strikingly resembled him. One evening the prison siren sounded a screetching alarm. A prisoner had escaped. The sound was so distressing to Mrs. Marston that she pleaded with her companion to take her into the library where the noise might be less acute. While . the man and woman were standing near the fireplace under a great Chi nese vase, they wer startld by a pis tol shot. The bullet hit the vase which broke, and part of it fell upon Alvin's head. The shock Instantly restored Alvin to his normal mental state. The two turned to the library door and saw a man fall to the floor. Rushing to where he lay, Mrs. Marston recog nized the. man who had appeared at her bedside and who had returned her pearls. The dying man related that he was Alvin's twin brother whom Hop LI had stolen when but an infant and had brought him up an opium fiend, instilled in him hatred for everyone who bore the name of Marston. His hatred finally centered upon Hop Li and he then committed the vengeful act of murder of which he had been convicted. Immediately after the guards arrived and found the man, Just escaped from prlson.dead upon the floor. Very happily the picture ends with Alvin and Edith restored to connubial felicity. This is the story of "The Sign of the Poppy," a gripping and forceful drama to be shown in Bluebird pho toplays at the Star Theatre on Tues day and Wednesday, with Hobart Henley playing the dual role.
