$adt - — (Continued from last issue) Fairchild walked to the skip, stepped in,"and lifted Anita to his side. The journey was made in darkness —~darkness which Fairchild longed to turn to his advantage, darkness which seemed to call to him to throw his ‘arms ‘about the girl at his side, to crush her to him, to seek out with an instinet that needed no -guiding light the ‘laughing, pretty lips which had catised ‘him many a day of happiness, mhny @ day of worrled wonderment. He strove to talk away the desire— bt the grinding of the wheels in the marrow shaft denied that. His fingers twitched, his arms trembled as he sayght to hold back the muscles, then, ylelding to the impulse, he started— ~1Da -gone ft!” “What's the matter? “Nothing.” But Fairchild wasn't telling the troth. They had reached the light Jnst at the wrong, wrong moment. Out of the akip he lifted her, then inquired the ‘way to the sheriff’s office of this, a.0gW county. The direction was giv- ep;’ and they went there. They told thaly ‘story. “You say Bardwell and your. partner went out on the Ohadi road to head the young 'un off?” “Yes Do you think—?" Byt s polse from without cut off the conversation, Stamping feet sounded on-the steps, the knob turned, and Sherift Bardwell, snow-white, entered. shaking himself like a great dog. as ‘e sought to rid himself of the effects of ithe blizzard. “Hello, Bardwell, what'd you find?" The sheriff of Clear Creek county glanced toward Anita Richmond, ‘“No.matter how much a person dis- Ykes snother one—it's, it’s—always a shock.” Anita came closer . “You mean that he's'dead?” The sherift nodded. “He must have rushed his horse too hard. When we got to hiim he was just about goné—tried to stagger to his feet when ‘we'camg up, but couldn’t make it. Kind of acted like he’'d lost his senses through fear or exposure or something, Asked me who I was, and I sald Bard- well. ‘Seemed to be tickled to hear my name—but he called it Barnham. Then he got up on his hands and knees and clutched at me and asked me if I'd drawn out all the money and had it safe. Just to humor him, I said I had. He tried to say something after that, but it wasn't much use. The first thing we knew he'd passed out. ' That's where- Harry I8 now—took him over to the mortuary. There isn’'t sgnybody named Barnham, Is there?’ “Barnham?” The name had awak- ened recollections for Fairchild; “why he’s the fellow that—" . But Anita cut in, “He's a lawyer In Denver. They've been sending all the Income from stock sales to him for deposit. If Maurice asked If he'd gotten the money out, 1t st mean that they meant to rin with all the proceeds. We'll have to teléphone Denver.” The message went through. Then the two sheriffs rose and looked at their revolvers. “Now for the tough one.” Bardwell made the remark, and Mason smiled grimly., Fairchild rose and went to them. “May I go along?” “Yes, but not the girl. Not this time.” Anita did not demur. ‘walked to her side, .+ “You won't run away,” Ne begged. “I'l be right here,” she answered, and with that assurance, be followed the ether two men out into the night. Far ‘dewn the street, where the rather Dbleak outlines of the hotel showed bleaker than ever Ir the frigid night,-a light was gleaming In a #ec- ,ond-story window. Mason turned to 'his fellow sheriff. “He usually stays there. That must be him—waliting for the kid.” The three entered. 'Tiptvelng, they ‘went to the door and knocked. A high- pitched voice came from within. “That you, Maurice?" Falrchild ansyered in the best iml- tation he could:give “Yes, I've got Anita with me.” Steps, then the door opemed. For Juét a :second. Squint Rodainme stared at them in ghastly, sickly fashion. Then he moved back into the room, still facing them, { “What's the Idea of, this?” came his forced query. -Fairchild stepped for- ward. “Simply to tell you that every- thing’s" blown up as far as you're conceined, Mr, Rodaine.”, “You needn't be so dramatit about Fairchild it. You act like I'd committed, a mur- | der! ‘What 've I dome that you should—" \ “Just a minute. I wouldn't' try to act _innocent. For one thing, I hap- * pened to be In the same house with Yyou ope night when you showed Crazy Laura, your wife, how to make people immortal.

But In vain. With a lunge, Squint Rodaine had turned, then, springing high from the floor, had seemed to double in the i i L Crashed Through the Window. alr as he crashed through the big pane of the window and out to the twenty- foot plunge which awaited him. Hur- riedly they gained the window, but al- ready the form of Rodalne had un- rolled itself' from the snow bank into which it had fallen, dived beneath the protection ofsthe low coping which ran above the first-floor windows of | the hotel, skirted the building in safety and whirled into the alley that lay be- yond. Squint Rodaine was. gone. Frantieally, Fairchild turned forthe door, but a big hand stopped him. “Let him go—1let him think he's got- ten away,” said grizzled Sheriff Mason, “He aln't got a chance, There’s snow everywhere—and Wwe can trail him like a hound dawg trailing a rabbit. And I think I know where he's bound for. ‘Whatever that was you said about Crazy Laura hit awful close to home. It ain’t going to be hard to find that rattler!” Continued in next issue AUSEVENTS “TROOPER O'NEIL” AT REX THEATER AGAIN TONIGHT “Trooper O'Neil” will be shown at the Rex theater for the last time this evening. This is the kind of outdoor tale that William Fox presents in “Trooper O'Neil” starring Charles Jones.

Judge C. W. Stanton, more com- monly cailed the Honorable Charles Willard Stanton, is considered cap- able material for any role, although he does not number among the old timers ,when the old timers are tell- ing ity He came to Bemidji about 1908 when he became judge in the Fifteenth Judicial District and has been an ardent booster for a bigger and BETTER Northern Minnestota all through his service here. Some people are of the opinion that the judge can’t smile. The on]y{ place they éver saw him was in the court room. But such is not the case. { The judge appreciates a hit of hu-; mor:as well as the next party and he| invariably adds his bit to that of the others.

If there’s any chance to use a-judge in any scene during the staging’of the pageant at the fear, we recommend Judge Stanton. ——— e has been received very favorably wherever shown. Charles Jones’ ability “as an .actor has long been recognized by the most discriminat- ing picture followers. “THE OATH” AT THE REX THURSDAY AND FRIDAY “The Oath” the 'R. A. Walsh pro- duction for Associated First Nation- al Pictures, Ine., which opens at Rex theater Thursday for a two days’ showing, contains a scene which has been hailed by eritics as being the most dramatic that has ever been filmed or staged. A series of fast moving, interesting circumstances has involved Hugh Colman in a sit- uation where his conviction for mur- der is absolutely certain unless he breaks an oath given to his wife. when he had secretly married. But there is another woman whom he has loved. Although her love has been given to his dearest chum, she makes the greatest sacrifice a woman can make to save Hugh from the gal- lows and succeeds. The scene is one of the strongest ever put into a mo- tion picture production, and the tangled net which results from her action in the lives of four persons provides a most absorbing double love story. “THE FACE BETWEEN” AT GRAND THEATER FRIDAY “The Face Between” which 1s at the Grand Theater Friday and Sat- urday is a picture which wins the support of those who believe in the movies -as an institution with limit- less possibilities for intelligent en- tertainment. In this picture, in which Bert Lytell, the Metro Star heads the unusually’ good cast, there is unfolded a story which has all”the elcmcnt's’gf niversal popularity and which'grows in interest and sus- pense with a logical development and a Eei,al{d for the plausibilities which. is ‘t00 often ignored by the steratio writers, S 4 “HEAD OVER HEELS” AT THE GRAND THEATER TONIGHT There i$.no droller.comedienne on the 'screen’ than_Mabel Normand and in her ‘newest Goldwyn comedy “Head Over Heels” coming to the Grand .theiter for two days begin- ning tonfi‘ght.
