Photoplay; Read It in CHAPTER TWELVE “THE TOTTERING BRIDGE" Boyd, clinging to the treetop, did not realize his predicament until the big pine, its base severed by the w iman’s axe, started its toppling descent. The engineer, realizing that his only hope was to break the fall, hurriedly shifted his position so that, when the tree crashed, he vas atop the crashing branches. usa green cushion broke the force of his fall, but catapulted him squarely into the arms of three thugs from Zabel's band, who, fol lowing. had trailed his progrei through the forest, The men battled desperately for a moment, the engineer, retreating slowly, raining blows at his assail- ants, Suddenly, with a misstep, he dropped to the ground, rolling down the gentle. incline, and, before he could recover himself, over the brink of the cliff, at the bottom of which the river ran sluggishly. Into the water he plunged, while the men above watched awestruck. “Guess he's gone,” remarked one, as the body of tne engineer sank and failed to reappear. Around the bend of the river, however, under the lee of an over- hanging rock, Bruce came to the surface, and, clinging to a branch, slowly regained his strength, as Judith, on horseback, searching the region for him, rode to the river bank. In a moment she was off her horse, and had rescued him from his dangerous plight. The three at- tackers, further up the river, saw this, and, with a ery of» surprise. turned to renew their attack when a muttered warning from one of the men stopped the onslaught. “There comes Hawkins—the man that owns the tie mill,” he warned. “They're going to’talk to him; we'd better walt and watch.” Hidden in the bushes, they observed the trio carefully Hawkins, fishing rod In hand, was Proceeding slowly upstream, casting his line from time to time, when Judith and Boyd hurried to him. Quickly they informed him of the mistake regarding the tles. “We have to have ties—only three days t finish the road!” urged Bruce. ‘Money is no object if you get~'em out for us!’ “Sorry,” returned Hawkins. “Your assistant rejected the ties, and I sold them. My mill's closed for repairs.” The lumberman thought for a moment. “I'll tell you,” he said. “There's a small tie mill further up the river—near Deathcurve Grade. You might'buy or lease that.’ With a few words of thanks Boyd and Judith hurried back to camp for horses. Their pursuers, cutting through the forest, hurried to the mills, arriving shortly before the two, who had picked up Helen Day ton, res men had been tinkering with the belt of the big saw—and the result soon ‘became apparent.

Grasp- ing. the flyspokes, he strained every muscle. The man was bent almost double before he succeeded in bring- ing the wheel to a stop and the half- fainting Helen extricated from the jaws of death. In the meantime Zabel himself had arrived to command his force of plotters. “They're loading a car with ties,” he was’ informed. “They're going to take it down the grade to Boyd’s camp. “I'll stay here in the forest where they can't see me,” instructed Za bel. “But we'll stop ‘em just the same." He whispered a few words of instructions to two of his men who hurried down the tracks toward the curved grade below. Boyd, in the meantime, had check- ed off the cargo of ties, and, helping Helen and Judith gboard the car, signaled the engineer to “kick it off” for the coasting ride down the grade to the construction camp. Slowly at first, but gathering momentum, the car rushed toward the curve. Boyd, deciding to slacken its speed, applied the brakes, then uttered a cry of dismay. " “They've greased the tracks on us!" he shouted. “The brakes won't work” Frantically he twisted the back wheel, but the car continued its headlong flight. “We'll never round the grade!” he shouted, above the. roaring wheels. “We'll have to jump!" Helping the girls to the steps, he stood beside them as the careening ear sped on. Finally, with a lurch, {t struck the curve. At that in- stant he gave the word of command, and, with the two girls, dropped from the car to the side of the track. A moment later the car, toppling wildly, somersaulted over the curved tracks, plunging into the river at the foot of the cliffs.

NEW YORK, March 22.—(Unitea Press,)— “A kiss {s just a stolen sweet,” sald Bill, “Come on, let's try 1 “Look here No sweets for me,’ quote Marge, “You know I'm on a diet!" Everyone is dieting these days of boyish forms. An ounce of added flesh turns one into a veritable Shylock, determined to take off a pound of flesh to spite the ounce Many women ‘have found rolling and dieting of no avail and they are turning to clothes that slenderize as a means of making two pounds look like one. Already the stout woman ts turn- ing her thoughts toward the Easter outfit, as ready-made garments al- ways need adjusting and altering for her. Everything in the clothes line is in the stout woman's favor this season. for from the corset out every. garment is made with straight, slenderizing Mnes which re- duce the size of the hips and elim!- nate the puffy appearance of the shoulders. Corsets of today are woman's strongest weapon against fat. A properly fitted corset is the first requisite for the Easter frock. One that confines the hips with elastic restrictions over the back to pre- vent bulging ts essential. Next in importance comes the brassiere which ig made of strong material that confines the surplus. shoulder fat. Straight-Line Silhouette. Theresis but one silhouette for the plump woman to following, and that is the straight-line! Low waistlines, straight-lined skirts, augmenting their straightness by panels, vertical trims and fltwing draperies, tend to minimize the size of the stout woman. Materials of soft texture thet cling to the figure, such as crepes, satins, lace and chiffons are more becoming than taffetas and stiff-surfaced materials. Printed ma- terials, providing they are of soft textures, tend to reduce one's sizes. Where the slender figure may de- pend upon vivid colors and bizarre styles for chic, the stout woman pins her faith upon silhouette and material. She must select a frock that best conceals her flesh, rather than one that is simply modish. Many stout women have lovely necks when viewed from the front but at the nape of the neck the flesh is too apparent. In this case the square or V-shaped neck, which is cut high in the rear, is far pre- ferable to the batteau-shaped one. NEGRO SUSPECT IN WILKINS CRIME TE!"

Murray in police court yesterday afternoon which carried with it not only the possibility of an un- usual legal fight but also a ramifl- cation with a moral to those who are inclined to play the good Samar- itan to persons in the toils of the law. Betty Rickards, central figure in police court three different tim since late in January, was up for trial on the charge of violating the liquor ordinance. The liquor was said to have been found in her apartment at 118 East Fifth street Friday: She claimed that she knew nothing concerning the liquor and that it did not belong to her. The Rickards woman had been ar- rested January 26 on a_ similar charge atd was fined $100 and given a suspended sentence of 30 days. On February 25 she was appréhend- ed again and fined $100- and sentenced, the sentence being re voked on the statement by her at- torney that she was selling her fur- niture and was preparing to go to Los Angeles. The ire, of Judge Murray was aroused yesterday when she came up before him once again. He sentenced her. to serve 60 days and pay a fine of $100. Attorney Alex B. King appealed the case on the grounds that P. B. Vale, driver of a milk truck, had stated that he himself had purchased the liquor found in Betty Rickard’s apartment and that he had taken it there in a milk bottle for a friend of his. Judge Murray afterwards recalled Vale and fined him $50 for the transportation of lquor. He also sentenced the Rickards woman to serve her suspended sentence of 30 days. Attorney King argued that the magistrate had no right to in- carcerate the defendant since he had appealed the case and he threatened to start habaes corpus proceedings. Judge Murray ts confident how- ever that the woman can be kept n jail since she is there serving a sentence imposed January 26, and since the time limit set by statute for appealing had been long ex- hausted. co rr ER he Et os Uy Juan J, Tomadelli, 46, inventor of what is said to be a new kind of artificial light, is shown here in first Photo with his invention in New York, Tomadelli is fighting injunc- tions which might prevent him from manufacturing his article on patent dnfnngemens grounds, ©v.b.0. trimming.
