S¥ME BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER - \ Cownghf bg ‘Nfllmn MacLaod Raine h ig_ogtmned from last issue) She tried to read what he was hiding, groped in her mind for the key to his terror. What could it be that he was afraid Clay had told her? What was it they all knew except Lipdsay friends? And why, since Clarendon was trembling lest it be discovered, should the Arizonan, too, join the con- spiracy of silence? At any rate she would not uncover her hand. “He told us several things,” she sald significantly. “You've got to make open confession, Clary.” The ex-pugilis looked at her. “What would he confess? That the man with him murdered Collins?” not true,” sald the girl chewed his cigar and quickly. “So Lindsay's your friend, eh? Dif- ferent here, mlss.” Jerry pieced to- gether what t ‘lubman had told him ac.d what he since learned about her. He knew that this must be the girl to whom his host was engaged. “How about you, Bromfield?” he sneered. The clubman stiffened. against Mr. Lindsay.” “Thought you had “Of course he hasw't.

A flush of anger swept his ruddy cheeks. He held himself, however, to the sub- Ject. “You forget, Mr. Durand, that Lind- say was his guest last night.” Jerry's laugh was i contemptuous Jeer. “Fhat's right. I'd forgot that. He was your guest, wasn't he, Bromfield?” “What's the good of discussing it here?” asked the tortured host. “Not a bit,” admitted Whitford. “Ac- tlons talk, not words. Have you seen the police yet, Bromfield ?" “N-not yet.” “What's he gonna see the pol about?° Jerry wanted to know, his el Jutting out. “To tell them that he saw Collinm draw a gun and heard shots fired,” re- torted the mining man instantly. “Not what he's been tellin® me. He'll not pull any such story—not anless he wants to put himself in a cell\for life” “Talk sense. You can't frighten Bromfield.

The shadow of a heavy fear hung over him. The telephone rang. Bromfeld trembling fingers picked up the trans- witter. He listened a moment, then turned it o to Beatrice. “I"or yo Her part of the conversation was limited. It consisted of the word “Yes" repeated at intervals and a con- cluding, “Oh, I'm so glad. Thank you.” Her eyes were sparkling when she hung up. “Good news, dad,” she said. you later.” Durand laughed brutally as he rose. “Good news, eh? Get all you can. You'll need it. Take that from me. It's straight.

After the door had closed\on him there was a momentary pause. The Younger man spoke awkwardly. “You can tell me now what it was Mr.\Lind. suy told you." We'd like to know for surewltether you're with us or with Duramd,” said Whitford mildly. “Of course we know the answer to that. You're with us.

HAKKERUP The Pnotographer in Your S [ R “LOVE’S PENALTY” AT THE REX THEATER TONIGHT. Hopo Hampton in “Love’s Penal- Ly,” is the_attraction booked by the Rex theater for today. 1t 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 takes in during the development of the story, every emotion from light hearted girlish happiness 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 posiion. 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 ner 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, “GAS, OIL AND WATER” AT REX THEATER THURSDAY 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 ‘nstant popularity as a screen favor- ‘te, to his more recent triumphs as barnstormer, pug and artist, his work has been characterized by in- dividuality that has had many im- tators but no equals. The young star has another un- usual part as George Olive Watson the “Gas, Oil and Water” man who ‘s 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 oxcuses for his appearance where syery stranger is instantly tabulated and put through the third degree. The developement of the plot prom- ises.a blend of comedy and melo- Irama, The reversion to the old type detective story is one that the star has oftcn 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 “booster” hotel proprietor. Like all the star’s recent pictures, “Gas, 0il and Water” was directed by Charles Ray himself. “THE THREE BUCKAROOS” AT REX THEATER SATURDAY “The Three Buckaroos” Fred J. Balshofer’s production, a romantic comedy-melodrama of the west, will be shown at the Rex theater Satur- day. The girl in the story is played by Peggy O’Dare and the lad by “Buck” Humes. They are sup- ported by a splendid, hand picked cast, There are many situations in this remarkable photoplay which will hold the audience in intense inter- est. - “THE GREAT ALONE"” AT REX THEATER SUNDAY Monroe Salisbury will be seen in “The Great Alone” his newest star- ring vehicle at Rex theater com- mencing Sunday. In “Tre Great Alone,” a West Coast Film, Corp. production, Jacques Jaccard, a play writing di- rector famous for the amount of ac- tion he injects in his pictures has provided an original story for Mon- roc Salisbury, a star noted for his virile portrayals. And Isadore Bern- stein, producer of many big pro- ductions in theme and in scope has personally superviseq the making [of the picture which was directed (|by Jaccard. Salisbury’s supporting cast is one of cxceptional merit. The leading lady is one of the great “finds” of the year, Maria Draga not quite sixteen years of age, but an emo- tional actress par excellence. She plays the part of Mary McDonald. ISSED” AT THE ELKO { THEATER AGAIN:TONIGHT _How importantiis a film play? ow can 'the public judge whether or not it'js worth seeing? A good’ éxample alWays goes well with an answer. “Kissed”” showing at the Elko the- ater last times tonight, . is a Universal special attraction starring Marie Prevost. The value of Miss Prevost as a star was proven by her first Universal picture after she left the bathing beauty fold and be- came a dramatic- artist. The director of ‘“Kisscd” King Baggot, just recent'y completed a production which ranks as the third biggest Universal has ever made, “Human Iiearts.”. His work as a director ha8 progressed steadily and now he is rated as a headliner at Universal Gity, 'fe-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 screening. 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 Percy Challenger complete the cast. It is unusual. Taken point by point, “Kissed” shows unusual promise in advance. “THE MAN UNCONQUERABLE” AT ELKO THURSDAY--FRIDAY Jack Holt is now a deep sea div- ing enthusiast! This new thrilling sport was add- ed to the Paramount star’s polo and other out-door diversions during the filming of “The Man Uncon- querable,” in which he stars at the Elko theater Thursday and Friday. The locale of the story is the South Sea Jsland pearl fisheries and Jack plays the role of a New York owner who goes to the isinds to investigate his interests and finds no end of graft, greed and conspir- acy, which he has to overcome by taking the law into his own hands. When the company went to a Southern California beach "location to take some of the pearl diving scenes, Mr. Holt found that a num-| ber of copper helmets and rubber | diving suits had been taken along for the divers. Although the star was not required in any of the scenes, to descend into the water the adventure of the thing fascinat- ed him and he donned one of the suits and helmets and descended to the bottom of the ocean. Thereafter every day during the stay on loca- tion, he made the descent into the depths and become quite enthus- iastic over the novelty and adven- ture of the experience. Sylvia Brea- mer is his leading woman. WONDERS CF THE CENTURY Marvels That Are Accepted as Com- monplace by the Citizen of the Present Day. William Allen White, editor of the Emporia (Kan.) Guzette, in an ed- itorial in Judge, says: “The vast mystery of natural things ig so baflling that it is no wonder the mysterles of the supernatural are neglected in' these days of marvels. “The big, impouderable old world is shrinking and revealing itself us a speck ofg cosmos around which its inhabitants may ride in a few weeks, write in a few minutes and talk in a few seconds. “Within the memory of living men the rallroad has.divided distances by ten and steam and electricity have speeded up time in the ordinary proc- esses of life’s business a hundred- fold. Middle-aged people can recuii the days when there were no tele phones, no electric lights, and young people in their middle twenties re- member when automobiles were toys and the moving_picture was an ex- periment just rqmlng to commercial use. And much of the difference be- tween the American of today and of Monroe’s day is due to the physical discoveries that a hundred years have developed. “These physical discoveries have changed men's creeds, revised men's attitude to God and man, rebuilt their institutions, made them braver be- cause they could afford courage. made them kinder because they could afford kindness, and wiser because knowl- edge of life was forced upon them by the civillzation in which they live.” The Singer and the Song. A song Is a great adventure. Thou- sands write it, tens succeed ; and when they have succeeded, Its fate siill lies entirely with the singer. No one ever had it so much in his power to make the worse appeur the better cause, ov to refrain from so doing. The ancients placed Thamyris and Narada among the gods; the moderns puy the.r coun- terparts royalties, But the singer's personality is stlll incalculable in tarms of canonization or of cash. That personality means all that he has been able to crowd Into bis life; and he may still enlarge it. A good way to do that is to read all the poetry that he does not sing, and to listen te all the musie written for soma ofher instrument than the veice—-A. B. Fox Strarg- ways. Help Austrian Children. Danish joint committees for help to war devastated countries report that in 1921 Denmark entertained 5 children from Austria for several months, and that since September, 1919, Denmark has cared for 16, Austrian children and 5428 German children, Furthermore, 120 German little ones needing special care were nursed In a specinl camp. Gifts of hospital equipment were sent to Austrin and Germany, and 40.00¢ francs was spent supporting a children’s home near Rheims. IFood and clothing to the value of 70,000 Danish crowns were sent to Germany and Austrin and financial assistance for children amounting to 25.000 crowns was sent to, Belgium, 33,775 to Poland, and 34,500 to France.

John Anderson Says Tanlac Must Be a Wonderful Medi- cine to Do What It Did In His Case. “Tanlac is bound to be a great medicine to do what it has for me,” declared John Anderson, a well known construction worker, living at 751 Cook Ave., St. Paul, Minn. “I. suffered terribly with stomachl trouble, and no matter what I ate I! would ‘be in misery for hoiirs ‘with indigestion, and if I didn’t eat, I would be so weak I could hardly get around. I had rheumatism in my legs so bad I could hardly walk and at times it seemed like my back would break in two. My feet were so swollen it was just agony to put my wenght on them, and I was so nervous I would tremble from head to foot and break out in a cold sweat. I was certainly in a bad way. “However, I improved almost as soon as_ I started on Tanlac, and it knocked out all my troubles and sent me up thirteen pounds in weight.
