PAGE EIGHT Eyes Finest Effort of Nature At 1 lie head of all 1 m iiiin senses stands the glorious souse of siji'ht. The eye is 1 lie last and finest effort of nature in the evolution of the sense organs. A' i s i o n largely usurps the work of re port inj? the outer world to the mind. Through artificial lighling devices and man's own abuse, the eyes are the most over worked of the sense or; gans. Years of scientific, research and experiments have perfected instru ments for testing the eye. Science has turned with full knowledge from a study of the eye to the perfection of the lens with which to aid the eye. The marvelous correc tive and protective fea tures developed in soft light lens are among this country's achievements in optical science. Harsh light, unfiltcrcd, unshaded .glaring light, lias caused more eye trouble in the last few years than all oilier sources of sight im pairment. These super- 'lens have the uncanny quality of permitting transit, to rays that help you to sec while prevent ing passage of the searing rays of glare that torture heads and nerves. 1 This remarkable lens completely purges light of the glare that, scourges sight. .The eye that, is distort ed by brutally brilliant. light is much less respon- sive to corrective adjust ment. The work of the expert Optometrist, bears fruit Jar taster when the eye muscles are not under strain. Proper lenses relax the eye by their own qualities of light filieration; they build up vision through the qualities they gain when ground to the focal prescription of your Opto nietrist.

Chapter 10 THE BROKEN GODDESS '' pilU Impact with whlcU I came down was pretty severe, and sjme ten seconds elapsed before I was able to climb on to my feet A door which bad softly opened as softly closed. It was the hall door, and as I throw myself upon It a key turned in the lock on the other side. I tried the handle. The door held. Furious at myself, I switched on the light. The Brent collection was Intact, apparently. My eyes then fell upon the door to the library, and I hurried toward it. The door was unlocked, and I pushed Into the a moment, then ran swiftly down the stair. "That's not her room," I muttered In perplexity. "I wonder whose it Is. And I wonder what she was doing in it at this hour of the morn ing." Footsteps on the stair became audible a moment later Miss Jah ries' had been noiseless and as I glanced around the door Cella and Annersley ascended into view. At the top of the stair they embraced tenderly. "Good night, Claude." "Good night, dear." She ran Bwiftly along the hall and turned into the east wing. An nersley Btood staring in the direc tion in which she bad gone; then be pushed into the room Miss Jah ries bad left five minutes betorel I had been waiting to see what room he would enter, but 1 bad not seriously considered the possibility that It would be tho one Miss Jab ries bad left, and I shut my own door more bewildered than ever. Miss Jahries and Annersley were allies, I had supposed. To And Miss Jahries enacting the appearance of something else took all the starch out of my theories. Had Miss Jahries been seeking for something that Annersley did not want her to find, I wondered? "And now Miss Jahries,"-1 mut- Mlss Jahries listened Intently at the head ot the stairs. room beyond, hoping that the door between the library and tbe hall would be also. Tbe darknoss was heavy, and 1 found myself holding my I) .on Hi nnd shivering To my dismay, the door was locked. Samuels would have the key In his pockot. All chance of gottlng a glimpse of the Intruder wob gone now. I switched on tho light, and the shadows vanished into themselves. Foellng better, I glanced across the room at tha sheeted fig ure on the couch. Parados was dund In tho flesh only; tho evil be had done still lived. rutting out the light, I returned to tho billiard room wondering what I should do. It occurred to mo then that some door or other lowor window of the house might have been luadvortont ly loft open. I would try nil of tboni, Miss Jahries' window except ed.' It all woro fastened, I would rouso Miss Jnhrlcs. It so happened that tho first door 1 tried was open, and 1 found my self, much to my relief, In the kltch n. 1 passed Into tho hall, wboro a celling lamp burned. 1 looked Into tho dining room, tho drawing room and the sun room as a mnttor ot course, but tlicro was no one about. It occurred to me that It might be wise to rouse r'llnue nnd loll lilm qf my experience, hut I decided morn, tug would do us well. As 1 reached tho head of the slnir I was ntlrnclod by n thread of light heuenlh the door nearest me. 1 concluded that the occupant of this room was the peroti who hnd locked me In the billiard room. I decided to go t. brd nnd find out who occupied tho room In the morning. Hut fls I entered my room nt the head of the corridor, n door latch ollckeil. I edged ono eye nround the frame of the door. To my astonish mcnt, Miss Jahries thrust her head out of the door of tho room I had boon speculating about, turned it right nnd left, and completely emerged from tho room. A light switched rlU-kiMl, a door closed Miss Jahries listened Intently for tored. "I wonder who'll be the noxt?" That hnd been Samuels' phrase. and I wont to bed wltb It echoing in my brain. I awoko around seven. It took me a minute or so to orientate my solf: then 1 sprang out of bed and dressod. Going downstairs, i found D'llnuo In the sun room smoking ono of his small cigars and labor iously reading nn Amerlcnn news-papca "Hon Jour, mon ami," ana ne beamed at mo. "You aro early." "Not so early as you are," I re minded him. ''True, but I am Anatole Fllque," nnd bis tone Implied that therein lay a difference. "That was a tragic affair last night, M. l'Antlqunlre." I noddod soborly. "Do you think Samuels will be nblo to solve It?" Fllque twirled his moustache. "An excollont fellow, that Samuels, but he has not tho inward eye." Fllque shrugged. "How did you rest?". "Well. How about yourself " "As a little child. It Is always so. But I was up wltb the lark, for I dcslrod to observe the what is It? eucalyptus trees." I know what ho meant. "One of thorn Blasbed Grainger across tho cheek." "Only It did not. "He wns lying, thon?" "It Is a house of lies, M. l'Antl qunlre. Hot you, also, have some thing to tell. I see it In your eye." Ho listened attentively ns I told him, now and then nodding In his animated way. "Yes, yes, you did well. It Is clear that you are a ninu of Intelligence. An extnioraiiinry woman, thnt Mademoiselle Jnhrles. But come, 1 have something to show you." Fllque led me down tbo hall to tho library door, which bo unlocked, nnd across the room to the sheeted llgure on the couch. My curiosity was nt fever boa'. With a dramatic gesture ho flung the sheet back. "l oiln" ho exclaimed. On tho breast of the body of Parados, lay tho Jade phoenix broken In two.

PUIS BIG PUNCH IN CROOK TALKIE "Framed," the all-talking metro politan gangster story In a central police headquarters-night club lo cale, und with an Ingenious, thrill ing story featuring Kvelyn Ilrent, proves to be the best of the stories of thut type and some of them good ones, toothat has yet nppear ce in -Medfrd, In the opinion of this reviewer uud apparently the major ity of the audiences at the Fox Klulto theatre yesterday, where this entertaining attraction opened u three-days' engagement. The more than usually natural dialogue and clever uctlng of the principals, splendid costuming, plot and larger Hutu make this portrayal of the romance, Intrigue und hut reds of gangland a film -of rapt in terest. To say nothing about the work of Miss Ilrent und her excellent support, It Is worth the price of ml mission alone to witness the police raid on the big night club and to see and hear the cops with their axes destroy the luxurious furnish ings and equipment. Medford theatre goers who prior to the coming of "Framed" were Indued to think they had been fed up on night club stories will espe cially enjoy this demolition scene. . While Miss Brent, who has proh ubly played -in more .crook -melodramas ,than any other player nn the screen, is featured in "Framed," and rightly so, her acting an the revengeful daughter of, a slain gangster, has less than the usual amount of simulnted hard-boiled-ness than displayed In her previ ous crook pictures; also there is plenty of it retained, and It is a re iief to see her again as a beautiful nnd charmingly gowned young wo man. .However, so excellent are the actors in her support, she does not bo, comiiletuly ,Uomlante the play us usually. Two of the best impersonations are those of Ralph Harolde. veteran actor ot the legitimate stage but new to tho screen, as the cruel, remorseless proprietor of the night club und gang leader, and ot Will Hani Holden, us the police Inspector whose son the gucg tries to frame. Kegis Toomey, as thut son nnd who plays opposite Miss Ilrent, aguin scores with his restrained and like able acting. Other outstanding characteriza tions are those of Robert O'Conner as Sergeant Schulte, the smiling, cynical und hard-boiled detective from headquarters, and of Maurice Black, as "Blng Murdoch, who fur nishes the comedy relief, ns the pi of esslonnl "killer" who regards his murderous calling with much seriousness.
