' BHE 'BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER - TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 27, 1922 Copyright by William MacLeod Rane ___(Continued from last issue) “What about the express wagon?” asked Whitford, “We'll get it. Word is out for those on duty to keep an eye open for it. Where's the bullet?” RBeatr pointed it out to him. There it was, safely embedded in the plaster, about five feet from the ground, “Durand wasn't thorough enough. He quit too soon,” said the officer with a grin. “Crooks most always do slip up somewhere and leave evidence be- A M, TR iRl “Beat It,” Ordered Gorllla Dave, His Head Thrust Forward in a Threat. “You'se Got No Business Hers!” hind' them. Yuh'd think Jerry would have remembered the bullet as well ag the bullet, hole.” They found the mark of the second bullet, too. It had struck a telephone recelver and taken a chip out of it. They mensured with a tape-line the distance from the floor and the side walls to the place where each bullet struek. Tim dug out the bullet they had found. They were back In the front room again when a huge figure appeared In the doorway and stood there blocking it “Whatta youse doln’ manded a husky volce, Muldoon nodded a greeting, *’Lo, Dave. Just lookin® around to see the scene of the scrap. How about yuh?" “Beat It,” ordered Gorilla Dave, his head thrust forward in a threat, “Youse got no husiness here.” “Friends av mine.” The oflicer in- dicated the young woman and her fa- here?” de- ther, “They wanted to see where ‘Slim* was knocked out. So I showed ‘em. No harm done,” Dave moved to one slde. he ordered again. In the pocket of Muldoon was a re- quest of the district attorney for ad- misslon to the house for the party, with an 0. K. by the captain of police In the precinet, but Tim did not show it He preferred to let Dave think that he had been breaking the rules of the “Beat it," force for the sake of a little private graft. There was no renson whatever for- warning Durand that they were aware of the clever trick he had pulled off in regard to the partition. CHAPTER XIX. Two and Two Make Four. From Maddock's the Whitfords drove straight to the apartment house of Clarendon Bromfield. For the third time that morning the clubman's valet found himself overborne by the In- slstence of visitors, “We're coming 46, you know,” the owner of the Bird Cage told him in an- swer to kis explanation of why his mas- ter could not be seen. “This is impor- tant business and we've got to see Bromfleld.” “Yes, sir, but he said—" “He'll change his mind when he knows why we're here,” Whitford pushed in and Beatrice followed him. From the adjoiniug room came the sound of volces, ’ “I thought you told us Mr. Bromfleld had gone to sleep and the doctor sald he wasn't to be awnkened,” said Bea- trice with a broad, boylsh smile at the man’s discomfiture. “The person inside wouldn't take no, miss, for an angver. “He was like us, wasn't he? Did he give his name#” asked the young woman, “No, mis Just sald he was from the Omnium club.” Whitford and his daughter ex- changed glances. “Same business we're on. Announce us and we'll go right in.” They were on his heels when he gave [ their names. Bromfield started up, too late to pre- vent theii entrance. He stood sllent for a moment, uncertain what to do, disregarding his flancee’s glance of hos- tile inquiry lifted toward the other Buest, The mining man forced his hand. “Won't you introduce us, Clarendon?” he asked bluntly. Reluctantly their host went through the formula. He was extremely un- ecusy. There was material for an ex- plosion present in this room that would blow him sky-high if a match should be applied to it. Let Durand get to tell- Ing what he knew about Clarendon and the. Whitfords would never speak to him again. They might even spread a true story that would bar every house and club in New York to him. “We've heard of Mr. Durand,” sald Beatrice. Her tone challenged the attention of the gang leader. The brave eyes flashed defiance straight at him. A pulse of anger was throbbing in the soft round throat. Inscrutably he watched her. It was his habit to look hard at attractive women. “Most people have,” he admit- ted. “Mr. Lindsay 1s our friend,” she said. “We've just come from seeing him.” The man to whom she was engaged had been put through so many flutters of fear during the last twelve hours that a new one more or less did not matter. But he was still not shock- proof. iis fingers clutched tighter the arm of the chair. “W-what did he tell you?" Beatrice looked Into his eyes and read In - them once more Stark fear. Again she had a feeling that there was something about the whole affair she had not yet fathomed—some secret that Clay and Clarendon and perhaps this captain of thugs knew, Continued in next issue “REPORTED MISSING” AT THE GRAND AGAIN TONIGHT Owen Moore’s long motion pic- ture carcer has included many successes but is is doubtful if he has ever before reached the heights he does in the Selznick Special “Re- ported M which is again showing at the Grand theater to- night last times. This is a picture which absolutely lives up to the slogan adopted for it, namely, “the greatest action picture cver made.” Owen is the centre of more amusing and thrilling scenes that it has ever before becn his good fortune to take part in. In the laugh producing mo- ments of the picture he is ably as- sisted by the genial Tom Wilson, long a standby with D. W. Griffith. Wilson is a master of comedy and has acquired the fine art of inspir- ing enjoyment as few men have. In addition to the comedy inci- dents in which Owen Moore figures he is the principal in a number of thrilling scenes which the makers of serial thrillers may well envy. Some of these schockers are the race be- tween the Sea Sled Broadway 11T and a hydroacroplane. Moore is in the seaplane and the villainous Oriental ship master is in the sea- sled. The sled wins and upon reach- ing dry land the Chinaman makes use of an auto. Moorc gives chase in another machine and is overtak- ing his rival when a child crosses his path. In an attempt to steer clear of the youngster Moore throws his machine over an cmbankment. Another incident which smacks of the real Drury Lane melodrama is the fight in the strong hold of the Oriental schemers. Here is a battle which is worth the price of admis- sion alone. If you want laughter, romance and cxcitement don’t fail to sce “Reportec Missing” which the Selznick company considers the best photoplay they have yet made. “TWO KINDS OF WOMEN” AT GRAND THEATER FRIDAY Tom Santschi and Charles Clary veteran movie actors, played to- gether in “The Spoilers” meve than ten years ago. Now they are to- gother in Pauline Fredrick's latest R-C production “Two Kinds of Wo- men”, which is the feature phom-l play at the Grand theater — next| Friday and Saturday. 3 “LOVE'S PENALTY” AT THE" REX THEATER TONIGHT Hope Hampton in “Love’s Penal- is the attraction booked by the x theater for today. It is a pro- | duction written especially for the beautiful young star to give oppor- tunity for the display of the re- markable histrionic talent she pos- sesses. The role of Janis Clayton wheih she portrays in is one which . which combines ¥ SIMPLE AND VERY CHIC A mode which carries on is that two contrasting materials in the development of a single frock. It is attractively illustrated in this design, which shows the skirt and deep cuffs of the sleeve made of printed radium silk, while the long-waisted kimono blouse is of kasha cloth. The belt is not of so much importance as its vlacing, which indicates the waist-line dropped to hip-level. Medium size requires 2% yards 40-inch figured, and 134 yard 40-inch plain, material. Pictorial Review Dress No. 9912. Sizes, 16 and 20 vears and 34 to 44 inches bust. the story, every emotion from light hearted girlish happinesg to hate, and back again to refined, true womanly love, Sally, a younger sister of Janis, loves Steven Saunders, her employ- er and is a suicide on the day Saun- ders marries another—a woman who ‘could aid him in his climb to riches and social posjion. Mrs. Clayton lives but a week after and Janis, dirven nearly insane by the grief of her double bereavement swears vengeance, and plots a course that will ruin Saunders utterly but at the same time take her own rep- utation. The revenge and how a higher power extracts toll from Saunders for his derelictions, and saves Janis from herself for a greater love that is to come, makes “Love’s Penalty” one of the greatest dramatic offer- ings of the year, “THE TRAP” AT THE GRAND SUNDAY AND MONDAY When a review of the really great screen plays of the year is made next January to determine the six leaders it is certain that the Uni- versal Jewel production, “The Trap” will be among the first three, As a matter of fact it probably will lead. Taking a powerful story to start with Lon Chaney has made it into a masterpiece that makes it live in one’s memory for months. .‘The Trap” will be shown at the Grand theater next Sunday and Monday. “GAS, OIL AND WATER” AT REX THEATER WEDNESDAY Charles Ray, whose latest First National attraction, “Gas, Oil and Water,” will be featured at the Rex theater is a screen actor who has the faculty of making every role in which he appears distinctive. From his earliest appearance as a busher in the major leagues, when he won instant popularity as a screen favor- ite, to his more recent triumphs as barnstormer, pug and artist, his work has been characterized by in- dividuality that has had many im- itators but no equals. The young star has another un- usual part as George Olive Watson the “Gas, Oil and Water” man who is doing the government’s secret service work along the Mexican border in ‘his latest picture, Young George has concealed his activities with a veil of gasoline, operating a broken down garage to provide some excuses for this appearance where cvery stranger is instantly tabulated and put through the third degree. The developement of the plot prom- ises a blend of comedy and melo- drama. The reversion to the old type detective story is one that the star has often been urged to adopt; and a plot of this nature combined with the usual Ray mannerisms and twists of humor gives every assur- ance of that this picture will rank high among the star’s recent pro- ductions. Charolette Pierce, who has played opposite Ray in “The Barnstormer” is-leading woman and gives a cap- able:performance as the daughter of a 0/ hotel proprietor. Like all-the star’s rccent pictures, “Gas, | Oil and’ Water” was dirccted by Charles Ray himself. “KISSER? AT THE ELKO TODAY AND WEDNESDAY How important js a film play? How can the public judge whether 4or not it is worth seeing? N A good example always goes well with an answer. “Kissed” showing at the Elko the- ater today and Wednesday, is a Universal special attraction starring Marie Prevost. The value of Miss Prevost as a star wos proven by her first Universal picture after she left the bathing beauty fold and be- came a dramatic artist. The director of “Kissed” King takes in during the development of Baggot, just recently completed a production which ranks as the third biggest Universal has ever made, “Human Hearts.”. His work as a director has progressed steadily and now he is rated as a headliner at Universal City; He made one or two of the first Prevost successes. The author of kissed is Arthur Somers Roche, popular fiction writer. The scenariist is Doris Schroeder who prepared practically all his Prevost previous vehicles for sereening. The leading man is J. Frank Glen- don, formerly a star and Harold Goodwin also has had his name in the big letters. Harold Miller, Lloyd Whitlock, Arthur Hoyt, ' Lillian Langdon, Marie Crisp and Perey Challenger complete the cast. It is unusual. Taken point by point, “Kissed” shows unusual promise in advance. ——— BEAR TRAPS FOR BURGLARS Brooklyn Man Braved Consequences of Well-Known Old Adage, With Gratifying Result. A Mr. Cogan of the Willlamsburg section of Brooklyn, after being vis- ited by burglars ten times, decided to depend mo longer on Commissioner Enright. He set a bear trap inside a window of his home and caught a bur- glar in it, the New York Herald states. That burglar, it may easily be image ined, will never try housebreaking again. It Is one thing to get caught at the crime In the ordinary way, to be taken to a comfortable police sta- tion, to be released on bail easily jumped, to be convicted even, and sent to a prison where there are good food and motion pictures. But it is quite another thing for the criminal to feel the iron jaws of a bear trap close on his leg. A bear trap does not coddle or release on bond. Unfortunately, every householder cannot safely set a bear trap for burglars. He might accidentally catch himself or his wife or the children or the dog. It it were not for that the whole town might well turn trapper. 9. A Washington woman had scrimped for a long time to take a trip to rana- ma. A man very much younger than herself, in the deck chair beside her, was making the voyage for the good of a frazzled nervous system. He was a whimsical youngster, who could joke at his own ups and downs, and she was used to boys, so they talked of this and that until at last the subject came around to the thing that makes the traditional mare go. The woman, still dazed at'the Aladdin-like power that could transmute small economies into a fairy world of blue ocean bil- lowing into blue sky, took her turn at the conversation by voicing civiliza- tion’s oldest platitude: “Money talks, doesn’t it?” “It sure does, though my money only knows two words—‘Good bye.’" And the woman has brought it home as one of her good little storles. Personal Interest. Mr. Dunn stood up In court, charged with disorderly conduct, his head swathed In bandages, and demanded a trial by jury. “It's only a minor offense,” advised the judge. “Why not plead guilty, pay a small fine and get it over?” “No, judge,” replied Mr. Dunn de- terminedly. “I want a trial by jury. The last thing I remember was when I was standing percefully on the cor- ner and that big guy wandered along. The next thing was when two doc- tors were sewing me up. Unless I have a trial and hear witnesses I nev- er will find out what I called the big St King Admires Shakespeare, The king of Slam is one of the out- spoken admirers of Shakespeare. This was learned through the recent anni- versary celebrations at Stratford, when o letter was recelved by the chair- man of the trustees of Shakespeare's birthplate, written by the king's secretary, who says that the king ls translating Shakespeare's worka into Siamese. The secretary sent on be- half of the king a check for §50¢ as a personal contribution to the Shake- speare Birthplace Trust and $250 for the memorial theater fund. He says that his majesty is an ardent admirer of the British national poet and is do- Ing his utmost to induce the Siamese to study him. READER TAKES NEWER FORM OF IRON—FEELS YEARS YOUNGER “Six weeks ago I saw a special offer in the paper telling how thou- sands of people grow old in looks and energy long before they are replly old in years, because, as examinations by physicians have shown, an enor- mous number of people do not have enough iron in their blood. I have been taking Nuxated Iron for two weeks: the results are simply as- tounding. The roses have come back in my lips and cheeks, and I can con- scientiously say that I feel ten years younger.” The above is a typical hypothetical case showing the results that have been achieved by a great many peo- plc since we started this “satisfac- tion or money back” offer on Nux- ated Iron. We will make you the same guarantee. If, after taking the two week’s treatment of Nuxated Iron, you do not feel and look years younger, we will promptly refund your money. Call at once for a bottle of Nux- ated Iron at the City Drug Store, or any other good drug store.—Adv. Husbands They Would Like, Half of the women enrolled at the Unlversity of Wisconsin are willing to marry & man on a salary of $2,500 a year, according to a report issued by the statistics committee of the uni- versity. An average of one coed out of seven wants a husband with a sal- ary of at least $5,000 a year, while one coed demanded a $20,000-a-yesr hus- beud. THE BAKING POWDER QUESTION SOLVED Most housewives pro-| claim that the baking powder question was solved for them the moment they used the first spoonful of Calumet. After that no doubt remained—no hop- ing—no searching for a perfect leavener—no wondering if bak- ings would “turn out all right.” CALUMET BAKING POWDER has solved the question because in all these thirty years it hae never failed to produce whole- some and appetizing foods at an economical cost. It is as pure and sure as any baking powder ever made. Calumet is more economical than other brands selling for less because its quality is the highest—no losses from spoiled bakings. Use Calumet once—that’s enough to prove to you that it’s “best by test.” A nd can of Calumet contains full 1 baki: Jt powders come in 12 oz.cansinstead of 16 oz. cans.
