He looked a ple- ture of helpless woe. “They're the let- ters I set down an’ wrote him my own se'l. Something has sure happened to that boy, looks like,” he bemoaned. “We'll try police headquarters. May- be we can get a line on your triend,” the postmaster said, renching for the “Go to Police Headquarters, Center Street, and Take This Note to Capt. Luke Byrne.” telephone. “But you must remember New York s a big place, It's not like your Arizona ranch. The city has nearly eignt million innabitants, You'll understand that when one man gexs lost it isn’t always possible to tind him.” “Why not? We got some steers down In my country—about as many as yon got men lp this here town of yourn. r Tha's what we ride the range for, so's not to lose 'em. We've teaced a B-in-a- Box steer clear rrom Tucson to Den- ver, done it more'n onct or twice too. I notice you got a big bunch of man- punchers in uniform here. Ain't it thelr business to rustle up strays?” “The police,” snld the postmaster, amused. “That is part of their busi- ness. We'll puss the buck to them, anyhow.” . After some delay and repeated ex- Pplanations of who he was, the post- master got at,the other end of the wire ‘his friend the commissioner. "Their conversation was brief. When the post- master hm)k up he rang for u stenog- Tapher andi dictated a letter of intro- duction. This he handed to Johnnie, ‘with expliéit instructions. “Go to police headquarters, Center street, and take this note to Capt. Luke Byrne. He'll see that the matter is investigated for you. Do you know ‘the way to police headquarters?’ “I reckon I can find it. Is it fur?” The man from Arizona looked down at the high-lieeled boots in which his tortured feet had clumped over the pavements of the metropolis all morn- ing. “I'll send you in a taxi” The post- master was thinking that this babe in the woods of civilization never would be able to find his way alone. As the driver swept the car in and out among the traffic of the narvow streets Johnnie clung to the top of the door fearfully. Every moment he expected a smash. His heart was In Bis throst. The hurricane deck of 8 bronco had no terrors for him, but this wild charge through the humming trenches shook his nerve, “I come mighty migh askin’ would you just as lief drive slower,” he sald with a grin to the chautreur as ‘'he descended to the safety of wne side- walk. “I ain't awful hardy, an’ I sure was plumb scared.” A sergeant took Johnnle in tow and delivered him at length to the office waiting-room of Captain Anderson, head of the bureau of missing persons. The Runt, surveylng the numbers in the waiting-room and those passing In and out, was ready te revise his opin- lon ahout the possible difficulty of the Job. He judged that half the popula- tion of New York must be missing. After a time the captain’s secretary notified Johnny that it was his turn. As soon as e was admitted the punch- er began his little plece without waft- ing for any preliminaries. “Say, captain, T want you to find my friend Clay Lindsay. He— " “Just a moment,” interrupted the captain. “Who are you? Don’t think 1 got your name.” Johnnie remembered the note of in- troduction and his name at the same time. He gave both to the big man who spent his busy days and often part of the nights looking for the lost. strayed, and stolen among New York's millions. The captain’s eves swept over the note. “Sit down, Mr. Green, and let’s get at your trouble. This note says that you're looking for a man named Clay Lindsay who came to New York several months ago. Have you or has anybody else heard from him in that time?” < “We got n letter right after he’ got* here. He aln’t writ since.” “Perhaps he's dend. We'd better look up the morgue records.” “Morgue!” The Runt grew excited instantly. “That place where you keep folks that get drowned or bumped . off?. ..Says -captain, I'm. here to tell you' Clay was the livest man in Arizona; whichis’the same as sdyin’’ anywheres. Cowpunchers don’t take naturally to morgues. No, sir, Clay ain't in no morgue. Like as not he's helped fill this yere morgue it any crooks tried their rough stuff on him. Don’t get me wrong, Cap. Clay is the squarest he-man ever God made. All I'm sayin® 1s—" # The captain interrupted. ' He asked sharp, Incisive questions and' got busy. Presently he reached for a 'phone, got In touch with a sergeant at the police desk In the upper corridor, and sent un attendant with+Johnnie to the po- lice department, The Irish sympathies of the ser- geant were aroused by the naive hon- esty of the little man. He sent for another sergeant, had camd records brought, consultedy a couple iof patrol- men, and then turmed to Jahnule. “We've met yeur friend all' right,” he sald with a grin. “He's wan'heluva Ind. Fits the descriptiom to a T. There ean't be but one like Mim herey’ And he went on to tell the story of the adventure of the janitor and the hose. The washed-out eyes of the punch- er lit up. “That's, hlm. That's sure him. Tell me where he's wt?” “We don’t know. We can show you the place where hed tied the janttor, but that's the best jwe can do.” The eaptain hesitated. “If yqu find him, glve him a straight ltip from me. Tell him to buy a ticket for Arizona and tuke the train for /home. This town 18 no healthy place for him. Your friend has made an Jenemy—a powerful one, He'll undeixtand if you tell him.” ' “Who is this h “Never mind. enemy?” e hit up too fast in Next Iss=e) Cigarette It’s toasted.

There is a surprising finish to the story. Ann Forrest, who played opposite Mr. Kirkwood. in “The Wise Fool”, has the leading woman’s role in “The Great Impersonation.” Winter Hall, Truly Shattuck, Fon- taine LaRue, Alan Hale and other noted screen players are in the sup- porting cast, “THE PRODIGAL JUDGE,” REX THEATRE AGAIN TONIGHT “The Prodigal Judge”, which will be shown at the Rex theatre Sunday, was adapted from Vaughan Kester’s famous novel of the same name. Jean Paige, whose success in' “Black Beauty” brought her into the lime- light, is featured in the. production and heads an all-star cast under di- rection of Edward Jose. In this production Vitagraph has produced one of the greatest in its long and notable career. Scenically it is a feast for the eye. With the action laid in Tennessee in 1835, there were splendid opportunities for costuming. The Southern scenery, with its moss-covered tress, its broad stretches of the slow moving Missis- sippi river and great vistas of plan- tations .afford colorful and pictur- esque backgrounds. The large and notable cast was selected with a view to both ability and type, Paige as Betty Malroy and included Maclyn Arbuckle as Judge Price, Ernest Torrance as his friend Ma- haffy, Earl Fox as Bruce Carrington, the riverman who loves Betty; Arthur Carew as Colonel Fentress, the “heavy”; Horace Braham} Charles Kent, Charles Eaton as the boy Han- nibal, Robert Missach, George Ban- croft, Peggy Shanor, Lillian Van Arsdale, Mrs, Marry Curen and the six Curren children, and many others. “CRIMSON CHALLENGE” 18 SPLENDID OUTDOOR PICTURE Fritz Tidden, reviewer —on the staff of the Motion Picture World, has the following to say about *Crim- $6n Challenge,” which is showing at the Grand for the last time tonight. “Again Dorothy Dalton forsakes the habiliments and demeanor of the fashionable woman. This time to enact a “Two-Gun Nell role, a ctraight shootin’ gal who perforce writes her own law as she goes along. And out in the open places, where men are men, as Harry Leon Wilson must lhave classified the West in “Merton of the Movies”, Miss Dal- on makes the role strangely realastic; a difficult job, taking into consider- stion that such a character has, in this generation at least, never existed outside of the most Western West- erns, Miss Dalton is aided by a compe- tent cast f layers, a group of unusually speedy horses, and some gorgeous mountains and inviting rolling plains. Frank Campeau per- forms some fie villiany as the worst mean we have cver had the pleasure of meeting. Irene Hunt is excellent as his browbeaten wife, The West- ern scenery is uncommonly beauti- ful and it has been photographed to its best advantage by a cameraman who understands the composition of striking scenes, “Three Week’s Off” is a two part comedy with more than usual laughs. MARY MILES MINTER IN “THE HEART SPECIALIST” |1 What better place for a ‘“heart specialist” than in a Turkish harem, where so many”are 'broken? This was evidently the conclu- sion of 'the ‘'scenarist of the Realart feature which will be shown tomor- row night and Wednesday at the Elko, for he gives Mary Miles Minter, the star, a trip into that colorful atmosphere, carring an enthralled audience along. The story of “The Heart Specialist” primarily concers itself with the adventures of a young newspaper woman in rescuing a dis- abled veteran of the late war from the clutches of a couple of crooks who plan to make away with him! and get his money. Miss Minter's support is c:cellent, | including Allen Forrest as leading| man, Noah Beery. Roy Atwell, Car-| men Phillips, James Neil and Jack Matheis.

Advance reports credit this as; be- ing the most facinating screen drama that the incomparable Nazimova has cver appeared in. Many exhilating scenes are shown in “Billions.” It is an adaption of a celebrated French stage success. Charles Bryant wrote the scenario and also. plays the leading male role opposite Nazimova. Others in the supporting cast are William J. Ir- ving, Victor Potel, John Steppling, Marain; Skinner, Bonnie Hill, Em- met King and Eugene H. Klum. Ray C. Smallwood directed the pro- duction. . Cub Tricks. He had been a newspaper reporter long enough to consider himself well past the “cub” stage. It was 2 a. m., barely an hour be- fore press time, when the phone bell rang. Replacing the receiver after a few excited “Whats?” and “Whens?” he grabbed his raincoat, and, telling the city editor there was a big train wreck on the W. & N, rushed out. Breathless, he grabbed at he bridge watchman, ten minutes later. “Where's 85? Did she sink?” “Where's' what? Yuh crazy?” asked the watchman. ‘ “'m from the Clarion; we got a re- port train: 83 ran off the bridge.” “It did. It does every morning about this time.

Later, however, Professor Montgomery of Toronto announced that he had measured in the Etta tin ( mine in the Black hills a crystal of that mineral which was no less than 38 feet six Inches in length and 32 inches in thickness. It was, he says, almost perfect in form. Spodumene is a igrayish-white or pink mineral almost ag hard as quartz.

To every dollar thus saved the Company adds 50c. ‘This anoney is invested in stock of the Company as fast .as suffi- cient money accumulates to buy one share; for in- stance, if a man or woman saves $560.00 a year the Company adds thereto one-half of that amount, or $280.00, which will buy 10eshares at the estab- lisheq price for 1922. ‘Whether or not he takes advantage of this plan is optional with the employee, The fact, lnowever, th?t the majority of the employees who hiave been with the Company ore year, or more, have availed themselves of the opportunity is convincing evi- dence that the plan meets a definite need. Since the plan went into operation it has been ap- parent that the employees take a greater interest, not only in the work which engages their attention, but what is more important, .in the service the. Company renders the public. 5 This is not surprising, for a man with:money invested has a stronger interest in a business, and a keener appreciation of his value to the community than @ man who has never assumed this responsibility. ‘Therefore, this stock investment plan for employees of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is an impor- tant factor in continually improving the service rendered the public by the:Company. It is but another evidence of the care and fore- thought exercised by the management in itsendeavor to perfect an organization which shall render to the public a maximum of sustained\ service, Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 S.
