Madge suffered terribly, very terribly — the skin had been taken from her arms and shoulders — but the suffering was nothing as compared to the pain caused by her husband's cruelty. For Robert, after the operation, asked only for Alida — thinking that she was the one who had sacrificed herself for him. And Alida, when she came in response to his summons, was not big enough or fair enough to confess that she had done nothing of the sort — while Robert, with his eyes bandaged, could not see the truth. He told her at once that he loved her supremely and Madge, standing in the doorway, heard him and, sobbing, exclaimed — "I won't stand in your way!" And she hurried out, filled with thoughts of suicide — the same thoughts that Alida had put, years before, into Robert's mind. Entering her room she searched for a revolver, the revolver that — long ago — she had taken from Robert — and was about to end her life when little Peggy, in the nursery, cried out sharply. And Madge, remembering her children, and her duty to them, laid down the revolver and went to the sobbing little girl. It was Mr. Alden, coming into the sick room, who set things straight. It was he who told Robert of Madge's wonderful spirit of sacrifice, and of Alida's despicable part in the whole affair. "You poor miserable fool !" he growled, at the last, "Alida wouldn't hurt a hair of her head for any one. It is your own wonderful wife who did it!" And Robert, tearing off the bandages, learned the truth at last 1 Of course, Madge forgave him. The lovewoman always does forgive her man ! She came to him at once — when he sent the nurse for her — came almost timidly. And, in answer to his prayer for pardon and understanding she bent over his bed with a madonna expression on her face. And, as she kissed him, she smiled tenderly — as a mother smiles at a wayward child. When Robert grew strong again — it was like old times, the precious, wonderful times before Alida Alden had come into their lives. Bobby and Peggy had their playmate, and Madge the eager lover of their "Greenwich Village" days. Kidding MotHer Nature A lovely violet could not move this jazz artist to verse. PERHAPS you remember the old-fashioned type of scenic title which was designed to elevate the soul while the pictures were instructing the mind. These title-writers would gush forth in streams of lovely slush whenever a rural scene was flashed on the screen. The mere glimpse of a mountain peak combined with a pine branch was enough to send them into tits of estatic doggerel. A primrose by the river's brim was never a simple primrose to this title-writer — it was a signal for deluge of assorted adjectives. And a harmless necessary hill — any old kind of a hill — would be sure to bring forth something like this: "Von gentle hill, so soft and green The sweetest sight eye e'er hath seen." They would go on and on like that until the audience would leave the theater prepared to curse nature and die. It didn't matter how awe-inspiring the pictures were — the sub-titles were so simply awful that they took all the joy out of country life in America. By ALISON SMITH Katharine Hilliker, editor and title-writer of the Chester Outing Science, has changed all that. She didn't mean to do it — in fact she started out to be a well regulated, properly soulful title writer. But she simply couldn't get that way. So, in desperation one day, she deliberately "jazzed" her scenic sub-titles just to see what would happen. What did happen was that the Strand audience sat up and chuckled and begged for more in' letters to C. L. Chester who owns the pictures. And now she is an utterly abandoned jazz artist whom even a lonely violet could not move to tender verse. For example: — If you give her a waterfall scenic, does she write gentle things about the waterfall whose splashes clear bring sweetest music to our ear? She does not. She turns it into a half-whimsical, half-hilarious treatise on prohibition and calls it "Mr. Outing Climbs Aboard." And when she is confronted by a nice learned picture on Japanese industries, does she fill it with soothing statistics on where things would reach if placed end to end? Not she. Instead, it emerges as a satire on educational films in general under the ironic title of "Mr. Outing Instructs." In a educational treatise on fishing industries she will announce on the title screen: "This is the colony in New Jersey with a birth-rate of fifteen million babies a year." And, in describing the habits of the small mouth black bass she says, "Does Mrs. S. M. B. Bass sit on the nice eggs once they are laid? Not on your life. Suffrage had the Bass family by the tail when Eve was still a rib and it is Mr. Bass who sits on the gravel patch and welcomes his offspring into a cold cruel world." You would never suspect that she was a wild revolutionist when you meet her. She looks more like something out of Vogue — she dresses that way. And before she wrote her fatal first sub-title, she was a perfectly correct art editor on a San Francisco daily and an earnest war worker in the Committee of Public Information, in the Division of Films.
