ston twins mysteriously disappearing
less than three weeks after the boys
were born.
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. When the
man Edith presumed was her'hus-

band returned home that evening,
his face was dark and leering. 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.
