__(Continued from lass issue) “Major, Mr. Drace and I have in our precious posse: n three quarts of old Tobe's wild grape.” “Ha—which is as much as to say thag you have three quarts stewed out of the heart of Venus. I'll nd Haw- kins and the four of us will gather in the Texas and—and flatter the stars, by gad! But Tobe lled—said he didn’t have any of the old stock left.” “And a liar's wine is sweet, my dear Major. Come, Virgil, my boy. put all brooding out of your mind. Brooding is for the poet when the nag is tired, and not for us. We'll have a night of it, and then we'll return to respectable servitude and slow moral decay. My dear Major, lead on. We follow.” The remainder of the trip back to Bethpage was a matter of moral free- dom at the gaming table for the Gen- eral. For Drace it was occupied with the hot struggle between thoughts of his grim mission against Stepho, and his longing for Nadine. For the time belng, however, the beautiful girl who had rescued him from the burning hut triumphed. She had promised to see him once more on Thursday. He would keep the tryst. Presently the Bumblebee made Beth- page Landing. And the General’s hos- pitality was at once so warm and so gracious that Drace felt no hesitancy in remaining for the time being under his roof—until Shottle’s return, at least. That night after dinner when his wife, Tycie, had left, the old gen- tleman it a cigar and for a long time eat smoking In silence; and Drace was sllent, too, looking through the lattice at the moon, love's slow timepiece stopped and stagnant in the sky. “Virgll?” “Yes, General.” ave you a pistol, sir?” “No; I had one, but I lost it.” “Well, provide yourself with anothe er. In saving me from a deadly assauit you Mave mortaily offended old La Vitte, He Is in no wise afraid; but neither is he gallant, and would shoot you without warning. You told me, you remember, of your appointment to meet old Spence tomorrow. I haven't! any too much confidence in him; he | might play you into the hands of Stepho, and I advise you not to go fishing with him.” “Spence. No that's not the name of the old fellow I'm golng with. His name is—Spillers, I think.” “I don't know a man of that name in the neighborhood. But, anyway, arm yourself and keep a sharp lookout.” And then they sat and smoked in silence, Inhaling the dewy breath of the, night, CHAPTER IX With the first gleam of Thursday's light Nadine arose and stood) looking out from the window. Her father had come in late and was to depart again early for the hills, but she was afraid lest he might have changed bis mind. She heard him moving about, but she | Paramount picture, THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER ILLUSTRATED _ BY RH.LIVINGSTONE light,- but he helped ber, and when their queer assortment of plates and dishes, gold-rimmed china, crockery, stoneware and tin plate had been washed and put away, they sat in the shade of the house, the girl anxious and wondering. “T have sent Tony back to the ceety, as I tell you I will,” he said to her. “He does the good work to burn the spy, the carpetbaggair.

It is one of the biggest dramatic subjects in which the Japanese- American star has ever appeared. The story, based on the original nar- rative by Dorothy Goodfellow, is a dramatic romance that approches that of Romeo and Juu.et in the subhmlty of its theme} and treatment. “WHILE SATAN SLEEPS” AT ELKO THEATRE SUNDAY The story of how a hardened crim- inal was shown the error of his ways { through the smile of a beautiful girl, forms- the basis of Jack Holt’s latest “While Satan Sleeps,” which will be shown at the Elko theatre Sunday and Monday. Mr. Holt plays the role of the way- ward son of a bishop who poses as a pardon in order that he might clean up a mining camp which he plans to rob. His conscience is strargely awakened and he wages a great bat- tle for his own soul. In the end, the victory is a glorious one. Frigzi Brunette is his leading woman. MAHENDRA, GREAT SEER IS COMING TO REX THEATER Mahendra, India’s greatest seer and crystal gazer will appear at the Rex theater for three days, his en- aagement beginning today. He has been playing at Duluth during the past week and people have been turned away from every perform- ance. While in Duluth he was enter- tained“by the leading clubs and was waited a long time before she went to meet him, so sweet it was to stand there at the window to catch the first ray of the sun. The old man hummed a jagged tune; in & garden of melody it ‘would have The Old Man'Hummed a Jagged Tune. pbeen a briar. Nadine came out, and gallantly he kissed her hand, laughing softly; and then as was his wont, he kissed her hair. __Her_duties abouf_the house were a luncheon guest of leading organi- zations every day he was there. At the matince Monday afternoon he will conduct a meeting for ladies only. Every person in the country is requested to write “Mahendra” a question on your own paper at home. Mail it to the Rex theater and he will answer it from the stage during the engagement here on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, October 7, 8, 9. He has performed some of the most wonderful thoughts by 'his system of mental telegraphy. All Duluth wanted ! to get into the theater to see him, all of the society folks ten years. He told another where she had lost a purse with a lot of money in it while in Minne- apolis, just who got it and his name and address. He tells all, knows all sees all. Write him a letter and ask him. You’ll find -out he, can tell you. Tonight, Sunday and l\{onday “Rags to Riches” featuring Wesley! Barry.

It is a crock melodrama with a differ- are talking!| about him. He told a lady where her| husband was that had been lost for lady ence. Its characters are all . real human beings—never types The mother love element lifts it to a high level of sympathy and; appeal that 1s never even touched by the average crook photoplay. House Peters is ceen for the first time’ as a Goldwyn leading man, and his splendid performance in the role of the regenerated convict is both ap- pealing and convincing. Irene Rich as his wife, gives a poignantly sin- cere portrayal of the young mother whose s¢lf-sacrifice, at last leads to her husband’s name being crossed off the police index for criminals. -CHURCHES CHRISTIAN SCIENCE Penney Co. store at 11 o’clock. day school at 9.45. p FIRST LUTHERAN Norwegian services, 10:30.

The story is of a gambler in the North country who never played any way but squarely in his life until an occasion arose where he had to resort to crookedness when the life of the girl he loved was at stake. Mayo is said to exceed anything he has donc yet in this latest vehicle, “Caught Bluffingf' The popular. Universal star is commonly connected with death defymg stunts and haz- ardous risks, but in this story of the Klondike, he eclipses them all by a breath-taking dive from a cliff top to the icy waters of a tmy izke three hundred feet below. The leading feminine role is played by Edna Murphy, who is enjoying a rapid rise to conspicuous standing in motion pictures. Ruth Royce is cast in the role of a gambling house follower and rou- lette addict. Others in the support- ing cast are Wallace MacDonald, Jack Curtis, Andrew Arbuckle, “Bull” Durham, Scott Turner, Martin Best and Tote Ducrow. EPISCOPAL * Setvices on Sunday.
