"Tho money makes it all seem dlf ferent," ho said, "to me you havo al ways been 'poor Mary.' "Then it was only pity," sho flashefl ut him, but Jack had her ln his arms "It was love," ho murmured "love. And Mary laughed bnck at her aunt "My own husband may tell mo ho lovci me," sho said. "Wo wero married at hour ago." "OVER THERE" The Patriotic pict ure ol the decade, with the same title as Goo. N. Cohan's song, Featuring Charles Rich man, Anna Nilsson and Gertrude Berkley.
