In the meantime Kent received a parcel from Adele Hoyt. containing the Dearls and a brief note, reding: "They were returned by a young woman much to be admired. They were rightfully yours and I trust their return will not be unwelcome. Sincerely yours, Adele Hoyt." So the girl w::s really trying to be square after all? Perhaps she was not worthy of his unkind attitude. Her environment might be wholly at fault. He would find her again. But this was not an easy task. First he went to the room but was told she had moved out. Then he went to the restaurant where one of the other waitresses received him coldly. "Why come here? Go look in the gutter where you sent her!" Stung by the words, Kent started slowly for the door. The girl called out after him. "She had a room over Fadem's pawnshop," she said, grudgingly. Straight to Fadem's pawnshop he went — to r-ttempt to make amends for what he had done. He was beginning to see that he had misjudged her entirely. She had been soar jrom page 6j) ing up to his social level until he had himself sent her back to the depths. As he put his hand on the doorknob of her room he heard scuffling inside. He opened the door and saw Connors struggling with Man. Man's face lighted up as she saw the man she loved enter the fight. He pounced on Connors. Man.' screamed and ran out for help. She went downstairs to come back in a few seconds with the friendly barkeeper, to whom she explained everything. Fadem had come in with a knife. His arm was raised, the dagger about to plunge into Kent's back when the barkeeper shouted. "The gal ain't got the pearls, Fadem," he growled, insistently. "That's straight. Let her go. She's on the square!'' And while the barkeeper drew the badlywhipped gunman out, followed by the protesting Fadem. Mary clung weakly in the arms of Kent. "Mary," he said, "you are wonderful!" And so it was that Kent finally came to take Mary Stevens out of the eutter. where she did not belong at all. In order that she should be completely out of the gutter and with the money gained from the pearls, a the iniquity that it represented, he bought, farm out in the hills, — and a home. i ." Dear Dorothy (Continued from page 72) •5 them so much myself and I don't have very many and I wish you would use this book rack because it is from me and I like to think that d know you and you know me when I see your pictures." The ring of truth and sincerity is the first thing that inspires a reply. In this case the book racks, which by the way were silent evidence of much painstaking labor, were given space in Miss Gish's own home, and a mail that left two or three days later carried back a parcel post package that contained books. There are times in the life of every star when she is glad she has been able to bring sunshine into some one's life. Here was one case in which it was evident. Presents come from foreign countries with as much regularity as they do locally. The Japanese people are the stoutest of all fans. The Japanese stamp is the most common of all foreign postage reaching the studios. The following letter is typical of the seriousness in which the Japanese admirer writes: "Madame Dorothy Gish: I am pleased very much by your fonny picture which was seen by me yesterday. I am compelled to remain twice throughout the exhibition in order that I must first explain to my friend the things that you are stated lo remark which is not in the Japanese language, and one more time for myself that I am to exactly enjoy this situation without embarrassing interruption. Within a short time you shall receive from me a small emblem of the esteemed gratitude for being pleased by you." The "small emblem" was a dainty silk kimono. The following brief, but to the point message, written in the cramped and much belabored hand of a small boy, was pocket worn and much thumbed. It came from a small town in Massachusetts: "Hear Dorothy : I am nine years old. I have saw three of your pictures. Do you like chicken guards? 1 do. My father runs a store. Wi'l you . nsw< r this letter?" The proposal of marriage is another regular arrival. It comes about once in each hundred letters. Miss Gish was somewhat reticent about giving out any samples in this regard, but she finally agreed to the following, which is not far different from the usual: " Dorothy: You may be surprised to have someone you have never met address you like that but I am crazy about you and some day I am going to make you mine. I live in the country and have a good chance of having the place left to me and I am coming to Xew York to see you whenever I get a chance. You are the soul of heaven for me and there will never be anybody who can take your place in my heart as you have done. I have never said anything to anyone around here about being in love with you. I would not do that with anybody without their consent. But when I am through high school which will pobably be next year and if I don't go to war. which I probably will. I am coming lo see you. I am sending you a ring which you can wear for me but maybe the size will be too big or too small and if it is you can send me the ring back and tear a piece of paper big enough to go around your engagement linger and I will send you another one but send this one back." These letters are never answered. Some idea of the source from which the letters arrive may be gained by the following table, drawn from the totals of the thousand letters referred to above.
