But a golden deed, for it has made two loving hearts tich in happiness. There can be no real happiness for those who hold you dear that you are not partner to. There can be no sor- row so deep that you cannot soften it, if you show that you care. Say it with flowers so that those you love will know.

Paramount.— Jack Holt as a crook who assumes the guise of a parson and starts off on a safe-cracking expedition.

Inc. ‘New York. A Confirmed Optimist AN energetic contractor, alw: in a hurry, borrowed a small and badly worn roadster from one oi his carpenters for an emergency tri The owner apologized for the chine being in rather bad order. “Oh, that’s all right,” said the bustling employer, “I can drive any- thing that has four wheels,” And calling to another employee to ac- company him, he was off. A little way down the road the contractor noticed the absence of a key to the ignition switch. Later on he discovered that the emergency brake did not work. After another mile he found himself rolling down a smooth, level road toward a bridge, and a second glance showed a six- foot gap between the bridge and the bank. Viciously he jammed on the foot-brake, only to find that its bands would not hold. He glanced from side to side of the road, which was flanked by deep ditches filled with rocks. Fifty yards from the fatal bridge he stepped hard on the re- verse, but the reverse pedal was stuck and would not budge. Turning to his companion, the contractor cheerfully remarked: “Well, here’s hoping the gas gives out!” BP.
