CHAPTER XXV CONTINUED “Sybil’s got sense enough not to go to court with any such flimsy evidence. Do you suppose there’s a judge who would believe — Do you suppose—after taking one look at Sybil—any jury’s going to believe I deserted her—to go chasing a little half-breed?” “Well—l don’t know.” Jack was blandly indifferent. “Anyhow I guess drunkenness is grounds for divorce in Massachusetts. And with Mabel and me to testify against you, Sybil won’t have much trouble getting rid of you.” “But—good God, Moore—don’t "you know I’m crazy about Sybil!” “Yeah?” Moore had an annoying drawl. “Well, she ain’t crazy about you.” “Didn’t she leave any message for me, Jack?” "Only that she never wanted to see your face again.” “I don’t believe it!” “Well, have it your own way. But if you want to keep out of trouble, here’s a tip. Sybil’s got a brother—a big six-footer, I understand, and something of a boxer. “I reckon he could clean you up JWth his little Anger, any time jk>u tried to make trouble for Sybil. 'And if, by any chance, he got ingipacitated, I’m no gilded lily yself.

“If I were you, Eustis, I’d steer blear of Boston for a while. It .would be about as convenient for srou to desert Sybil as anything I 'Can think of at the moment. Nice Respectable divorce, don’t you know. No more dirt than necessary. Think It over, old man.” “You—you—’’Richardwas speechless with anger and chagrin. “No offense intended,” Moore assured him. “Just a friendly tip.” “Get out of my room!” “Certainly. Your room, as a Blatter of fact, is about the last place I’d choose to park. By the way, is that Sybil’s trunk over there? I’ll send the porter up for It. Good-by, Eustis. You might tell Isabella, if you see her again, that I'think Mrs. Eustis owes her & vote of thanks.” Outside the room, Moore squared bis shoulders and drew a deep breath. Downstairs he scribbled a radiogram: “Don’t worry. All’s well.” * And Mabel, when she received it, smiled. “The darling fool,” she murmured. “He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.” tt a a ■pOR weeks Sybil waited fearr fully for word from her husking she feared a message, band. Every time the telephone She watched for the postman as she had watched once, years ago, when every day brought a letter from John Lawrence. Nervously she sorted the mail, looking always for the foreign stamp that would mean Richard was still in Havana. Jack Moore had written that he understood Eustis had moved frojn the Seville to a smaller hotel in the suburbs, where John Arnold had taken a permanent residence. Arnold had become friendly with an American widow and had financed the opening of an American Tea and Gifte Shoppe, t of which they were to be co-partners. Richard was probably in on It too, wrote Moore. Living expenses were high in Havana, and he had reason to believe that Eustis had already found himself in debt: Away from the glamour of his presence, Sybil put Richatn calmly down as an adventurer and a philanderer. “I don’t care that for him!” she would say, and snap her fingers derisively in the lonely darkness of her bedroom* But then, when sleep would not come, she would put her hands wildly to her head to still the And, by and by, she would lie maddening beat in her temples, quietly on he* back, with her arms stretched along her fevered body. “O love! O fire! Once he drew With one long kiss my whole soul •v through My lips, aas sunlight drinketh dew.” “I hate him! I hate him!” she sobbed, and her heart was full of loathing.

THE NEW Saint-Sinner ByjJnneJlustin ©2B ft SEASEBia.INC.

It was not quite 9 o’clock tha| morning when Sandy’s disgraceful flivver shivered to a stop before the Tarvers’ new house. “Keep your chin up, kid,” Sandy sang out above the roar of the motor. ; “Good morning, Miss Tarver,” a stranger greeted Tony in a beautifully modulated “Boston” voice. “I’m Miss Grosvenor. Your dear mother has enlisted my aid in the coming festivities. May I congratulate you, my dear?” “Sorry,” Tony retorted, her bare head flung back defiantly. “There’s been a little mistake. I’m not engaged.” ~ The elderly spinster gasped. “Please forgive me for speaking Curtly ’/ Tony begged. “I know it’s not your fault. I wonder—listen, Miss Grosevenor, I’m in the devil of a jam. “Poor mother is going to have a bad time. You see, Miss Grosvenor. Dick Talbot and I are agreed on not wanting to get married just now. Some sort of denial has simply got to be sent to the papers, and those awful tea invitations cancaled right away—today. Won’t you please help me—with mother? Convince her that this isn’t the first time in the history of the world that a girl has changed mind? Please!” Tony’s blue-diamond eyes, very wide and childlike and misted over with tears, did the work. Miss Grosvenor laid a thin, blue-veined old hand on Tony’s shoulder and promised her aid. “I admire your courage, child,” the elderly social secretary was saying when a shrill “Yoo-hoo, Tony!” interrupted. “My chum’s calling me,” Tony explained, as she saw Crystal flying across the street. “You try to break the news to Mother and I’ll be in when I’ve seen what Crystal wants. And thanks with all my

Weeks passed, and there had been no word. Once, as she glanced apprehensively through the day’s mail, she remembered that she would not know Richard’s handwriting if she should see it. “I never even had a love letter from him!” she reflected bitterly. The ear rings he had given her she had left on her dressing table at the Seville. They had been Ins only gift. ' The little sapphire ring had mysteriously disappeared, and Sybil

UNIVERSAL MAKES AN ALL-TALKER Carl Laemmle Announces That ‘The Melody of Love,’ His First Talking Movie, Will Be Released Soon. \ UNIVERSAL’S first one hundred per cent talkie is made. It is called “The Melody of Love.” Several months ago, when the moving picture first became articulate and began a startling crescendo of talking, Carl Laemirfle quietly predicted anew technique as a talking picture formula. He did not criticise the first trials of the piicture to talk. Every experiment is awkward, but it teaches a lesson. Clearly, Laemmle foVesaw that to win admiration rather than to excite curiosity, the new talking picture needed a technique of its own. In his usual efficient way he set his entire studio organization at work to devise one. The results of this work may now be seen in Universal’s first 100% talking picture, “The Melody of Love.” •

The Terror

Joseph W. Girard

One of the distinguished players making up the all star cast that is both seen and hea r d in “The Terror,” the second Vitaphone, all talking picture, to open at the Apollo Saturday, is Joseph W. Girard, who plays the part of Detective Hallick of Scotland Yard in this thrilling mystery drama. The picture was adapted from Edgar Wallace’s stage play, the current reigning hit of the London stage. LIMIT SEARCH WARRANT TO ONES SEEING STILLS Wisconsin Law Hampers Raids on Liquor Plants. Bn United Press MADISON, Wis., Sept. 21.—Stills which are the# source of illicit liquor are harder than ever to find and to confiscate under the new search warrant limitations fixed by the Wisconsin Supreme Court, according to reports of prohibition deputies working throughout the State. Formerly the officers were able to secure warrants “on information and belief.” Under the court’s recent ruling, they point out, it is now necessary to have the sworn statement of someone who has seen the still on the premises to be searched.

heart, Miss Grosvenor. You’re a peach of a sport.” It is doubtful if Miss Emmaline Grosvenor had ever been called a “peach of a sport” before in her life. Tony, unconscious that she had made a life-long friend, ran down the walk to join Crystal. '“Oh, Tony!” she gasped. “The very weirdest thing has happened! If I din’t know his voice I’d think it was one of the boys just kidding me, but—” Crystal paused for breath. “Tony, honestly I didn’t do a thing to make this happen—” “For heaven’s sake spill it!” Tony urged curtly. “Did Dick Talbot call you up and date you?” “Oh!” Crystal cried, closing her big hazel eyes and swaying slightly. “This is simply too uncanny, Tony. He did! “I could have dropped dead, I was so surprised. Faith had just finished reading your mother’s formal invitation to the announcement tea and—” “I broke my engagement—such as it was—last night, Crystal,” Tony said evenly. So that was the way Dick was going to play the game! He was going to try to make her jealous, was going to “date” the girl across the street—Tony’s best friend—so that he could keep an eye on her, and keep her eyes oh hjm! The sulky-mouthed, spoiled, handsomo brat! Suddenly Tony laughed. “You’re sure you don’t mind?” Cry*}al cried, shameless in her joy. “Oh, Tony, I’m quite mad about hirti —love at first sight! I’ve been so miserable. But now it’s going to be all right. There comes my street car! Got to run I adore you, Tony, and I’m so happy ...” Tony started after Crystal incredulously, then shrugged and marched into the house to face the music. (To Be Continued)

regarded its loss as a good omen. “I’ve nothing,” she told herself, “to remind me of him—not a keepsake nor a gift. . . . Nothing to haunt me, but wretched memories.” She thought less often of John Laurence, and more frequently of Craig Newhall. To Be Continued. Sybil thought there was nothing to remind her of Richard Eustis. But Sybil did not know. Read the next chapter.

So entirely satisfied was Mr. Laemmle with the preview showing of “The Melody of Love,” though it had not been completely edited, that he determined to release it immediately. In order to gain time and meet a release date of Oct. 1, prints are being made in the laboratory at Universal City instead of the company’s huge plant at Ft. Lee, N. J. An entire week will be saved by this ’procedure. “The Melody of Love” features four performers, all of whom have had stage experience as well as moving picture experience. They are Walter Pidgeon, Mildred Harris, Tom Dugan and Jane Winton. Walter Pidgeon will be remembered in a number of musical comedies, principally for a remarkably fine baritone voice. “The Melody of Love’* gives him a unique opportunity to display this as well as a charming •personality and screen presence. It is an ideal combination. Mildred Harris two years ago left moving pictures and went on the vaudeville stage, a proceeding which, seems to indicate that her guiding genius is a prophetic one. Nothing could have given Miss Harris a better introduction to talking pictures than the splendid experience and success which she gained in vaudeville. Tom Dugan, formerly of Dugan and Raymond, a famous vaudeville team, proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that a vaudevillian has to know his audience thoroughly. Without any of the paraphernalia he used in his vaudeville act, he holds his audience in “The Melody of Love” every moment he is on the screen. Jane Winton didn’t need a Ziegfeld Folli's certificate as to her face the figure to score on the silent screen. Both register splendidly. But even Hollywood was astounded at the preview by the disclosure of her very artistic and effective singing and talking vdice. “The Melody of Love” was written and directed by A. B. Heath. The story concerns two New York youths who go to war when America enters the struggle. One, a song writer, leaves a sweetheart behind. The other falls In lovo with a French girl with a beautiful voice. Both are injured in battle and, upon recovering, return to the United States. Injury to the musician’s hand, however, prevents him from carryon and, finding his girl has been untrue to him, he becomes a derelict. The French girl comes to America and finds employment in a case. The musician wanders into the resort and is urged to play for the French girl. Strength comes into his paralyzed fingers and he finds happiness with the French girl. Indianapolis theaters today offer: Charlie Davis at the Indiana; “Lilac Time” at the Circle; “Two Lovers” at Loew’s Palace; “The River Pirate” at the Apollo; fight pictures at the Cdlonial; The Five Maxellos at the Lyric, and “Sporty Widows” at the Mutual. , INDIANS TO CIVILIZATION ~v Descendants of Cuba’s Original Inhabitants to Be Capitol Guests. By United Press HAVANA, Cuba, Sept. 21.—Several hundred Siboney Indians, direct descendants of the original inhabitants of Cuba, will be brought .to Havana from their primitive homes in the mountains of Oriente Province on Oct. 10 as guests of the government. These Indians, living in isolated sections of eastern Cuba, have had very little contact with civilization and its the government’s purpose to show them something of modern life.
