If you vision Clay as a man of bat- tles and violent death, you don't see him as he saw himself. He was a peaceful citizen from the law-abliding West. It was not untll he had been flung into the whirlpool of New York that violent and melodramatic mishaps befell this innocent, This was the version of himself that he concelved to be true and the one he tried to Interpret to Bee Whitford when he emerged from the hospital af- ter two dayg of seclusion and pre- sented himself before her. It was characteristic of Beatrice that when she looked at his battered fuce she asked no questions and made no exclumations. After the first startled glunce one might have thought from her expresslon that he habitualiy wore one black eye, one swollen hip, one cauliflower ear, and a strip of gauze across his cheek. The dark-lashed eyes lifted from him to take on a business-like directness. She rang for the man. “Have the runabout brought round at once, Stevens. I'll drive myself,” she gave orders, With the light ense that looked silk- en strong she swept the car into the park. Neither she nor Clay talktd. Both of them knew that an explana- tion of his appearance was due her and In the meantime neither cared to fence with small talk. She drew up to look at some pond lilies, and they talked about them for a moment, after which her direct eyes questioned him frankly. p . He painted with a light brush the pleture of his adventure into Bohemia. The details he filled In whimsicully, in the picturesque phraseology of the ‘West. Up stage on his canvas was the figure of the poet In velveteens. That Son of the Stars he did full justice. Jerry Durand and Kitty Mason were accessories sketched casually. “I gather that Mr. Lindsay of Ari- zona was among those present,” Be- atrice said, smiling. “I was givin’ the dance,” he agreed, and his guy eyes met hers. Since she was a woman, one phase | of his story needed expansion for Miss ‘Whitford. She made her comment carelessly while she adjusted the mile- age on the speedometer. “Queer you happened to meet some-y one you knew down there. You sald you knew the girl, didn’t you?" “We were on the same train out of Denver. I got acquainted with her.” Miss Whitford asked no more ques- tions. But Clay could not quite let: the matter stand so. He wanted her, to justify him in her mind for what he. bad done. Before he knew it he had told her the story of Kitty Mason and Durand. */ “I couldn’t let him hypnotize that little. gird from the country, could I?” he asked. I suppose not.” Her whole face be- gan to’ bubble with laughter in the way he liked so well. “But you'll be a busy knight errant if you undertake to right-the wrongs of every. girl you meet in New York. Don’t you think it possible that you rescued her out of a Job?” The young man nodded his head rue- fully. “That's exactly what 1 did. After all her trouble gettin’ one I've thrown her out agaln, I'm a sure- enough fathead.” “You've heen down to find out?” she asked with a sidelong tilt of her quick eyes. “Yes. with Tim Mulddon. He’s a policeman I went down thils mawnin® | “But You'll Be a Busy Knight Errant If You Undertake to Right the Wrongs of Every Girl You Meet in New York.” - been seen since that night. we went out to the Pirate’s Den, the rurple Pup, Grace Godwin's Garret, and all the places where she used to sell cigar- ettes. None of them have seen any- thing of her.” “So that really your championship hasn’t been so great a help to her after all, has it?” “No.* “And I suppose it ruined the busi- ness of the man that owns ‘the Sea Siren.” “I don't reckon so. I've settled for the furniture. And Muldoon says when it gets goin’ again tne Sex Siren will do a big business on account of the fracas. It's Kitty I'm worrled about.” “I wouldn't worry about her If 1 were you. She'll land on her feet,” the ©rl sald lightly. Her voice had not lost Its sweet cdences, but Clay sensed in it some- thiug that was almost a touch of cool contempt. He felt vaguely that he must have blundered in describing Kitty. Evidently Miss Whitford did not see her quite as she was, The young woman pressed the start- er button. “We must be going home. I have an engagement to go riding with Mr. Bromtield.” ‘The mau beside the girl kept his swile working and concealed the little stab of Jjealousy that dirked him. Colin Whitford had confided to Lind- suy that his daughter wus practically engaged to Clarendon Bromfleld and that he did not like the man. The range-rider did not like him either, but he tried loyally to Kill his distrust of the clubman. If Beatrice loved him there' must be good in the fellow. Clay meant to be a good loser anyhow. ‘I'here had been moments when the range-rider’s heart had quickened with a wild, insurgent hope. One of these had been on a morning when they were riding in the park, knee to knee, In the dawn of a new’clean world. ‘It had come to him with a sudden clamor of the blood that in the eternal rightness of things such mornings ought to be theirs till the youth in them was quenched In sober age. He had looked Into the eyes of this slim young Diana, and he had throbbed to the certainty that she too in that moment of tangled glances knew a sweet confu- slon of the blood. In her cheeks there had been a quick flame of tlying color. Their talk had fallen from them, und they had ridden in a shy, exquisite si- lence from which she had escaped by putting her horse to a canter. But in the sober sense of sanity Clay knew that this wonderful thing was not going to happen to him. He was nut‘golug to be given her happiness to hold' in the hollow. of his hand. Bee WWhitford was a modern young woman, ,yractlcxl»mlmlu]. with a proper sense o¢ the values that the world esteems. Clarendon Bromfleld was a catch even in' New York. He was rich, of a good famtily, assured social position, good- looking, and manifestly in love with her. Like gravitates to llke the land over, Bromfield, too, had no doubt ‘that Bee mennt to marry him. He was in love with her as far as he could be with anybody except himselt. He wanted her—the youth, the buoyant life, the gay, glad comradeship of her —and he had always been lucky in getting what he desired. That was the use of having been born with a silver spoon in his mouth. (Continued in Next [ssze) THE PIONEER WANT ADS L met down there, Miss Kitty haso't _BRING RESULTS W. K.

The story deals’ 'with the Death Valley gold mining region of California and William Duncan, star-director, has prepared to show the public a picture of the locale as it is. He has put a ban on the horse drawn stage-coach, the bad man firing guns as he rides into camp and a thousand and one other antiquated stunts found in the films of the Buffalo Bill type. Instead Mr. Duncan presents a clean story of the West, showing real mining camps and settlements. The action is swift moving against the picturesque backgrounds and the climax comes in a real fist fight hetween Duncan and Sailor Tom Red-Blocded Story Admission: REX_ Theatre Saturday WILLIAM and EDITH ' JOHNSON . —in— DUNCAN of Great -Ou.tdofirs “Where Men Are Men”| From the popular story by Ralph Cummins, entitled, The Princess of the Desert Dream.” MUTT & JEFF—Educational Comedy—FOX NEWS 10c & 25¢ Wilson, formerly sparing partner of Bob Fitzsimmons.

To say that is is “ay most unusual production’is putling it mildly. It is one of the finest productions we have ever seen, and when it is shown at our favorite theatre we will go see it again.
