The resultant romance leads to some very interesting situations, de- velops Bome fast and furious action, flavored with considerable comedy, and builds to as melodramatic a cll- max as has ever been flashed upon the screen . ‘The theme of the story brings out the striking contrast in the view- points of the east and the west. The plot cencerns Georgie May Stock- well, a typical New York flapper, who goes to Arizona for her health and vamps all the cowboys at the Thurman ranch. In particular, she brings to bear all her feminine charms on Cal Thurmah, the shy, awkward, younger son of the fam- ily, with the result that he falls desperately in love with her and finally proposes, Did you ever hear of a girl who had two offers to appear in the “fillums” and turned down both of them? Well, here's a young lady who did just that very thing. is Barbara Manners, official “test girl for First National. Stars fre- quently have to make ‘tests’ after they have donned a new kind of makeup; being temperamental souls they frequently feel they can make a better “test” if someone else ap- pears with them. That's where the unusual Barbara appears. She is screened with the stars, ens of times and still has no hank- ering to act. They do say that, both Edwin Carewe and June Mathis hi offered to give her parts. With most all the flappers in the land just “dying” to become film queens the striking Miss Manners coldly spurns two chances, preferring to retain her lengthy title, “The most photographed girl in the movies who. has never been seen on the theatre screen.” STAR DUST James Cruze spends all his spare time swimming. * * * Betty Comp- son whiles away the hours on the violin. * * * A cyclone drove Claire Windsor and her family from Caw- ker City, Kansas, to California, where she became a movie extra. * © © Conway Tearle used to be an amateur boxer in London, * * * Rex Ingram was a freight worker in New Haven while attending Yale. *¢ * Tom Mix is frequently seen in ¥¢ white full-dress sult, Lois Wilson has gone to Ireland where she will play the lead oppo- site Thomas Meighan in the ‘Imper- fect Imposter.” Richard Barthelmess is going abroad to make ‘Just Suppose” for First National.

Milton Sills, of “Sea Hawk" fame, and Viola Dana are co-featured. ‘The story wag adapted from Gene Wright's novel “Pandora La Croix,” and affords a quick-action drama based upon the old adage: “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” Sills, in the role of a British army surgeon in the Indian service, is forced into disgrace and flight through a murder charge trumped up against him by an English society woman whose love he spurned. Thoroughly embittered of conventional lif he secures a schooner and captains it into the pearl fishing beds of the South Seas | where he sinks to the depths of degradation and becomes a terror of humanity. In Tahiti he meets the dusky, bewitching native dancing girl of Viola Dana's interpretation, While hating all women, he beats off her other admirers among the scum of | the harbor in a fierce battle and makes her his wife. It is his ges- ture of contempt toward all woman hood, It is then that his real identity as the fugitive surgeon is uncov- ered by his enemies and a British agent summoned to arrest him. How the little dancing girl disco ers his real love for a girl in Lon- don, clears up the false murder charge and brings them toget only to lose her own life in the act, gives “As Man Desires” «4 thrilling climax, THE GASTRONOMIC TOURIST 5.— “Where do we eat This ts the thought uppermost in the minds)of most motor tourists nowadays, That the question of eating and sleeping is of vital concern to motorists is indicated by hundreds of inquiries reaching the Natlonal Touring Dj- vision of the American Automobile Association.

SYNOPSIS Jim Fowler, mail clerk, returns to his home in Crater City, after his run, to find that his wife has died in giving «birth to @ boy, Crushed, he wanders out into the storm. Bob Wilson, a young tramp, who had prevented the wreck of the Limited, and whom Jim brought home with him, follows him into the night. Jim, plodding aimless- ly comes to the edge of a cliff, but Bob draws him back just in time. For hours the two tramp ower hills and fields, one following the other to shield him from danger. CHAPTER II—Continued After long, long hours: of black- ness and turmoil the wind and the rain died and the night prepared to take a comparatively serene depart- ure from a dripping world. But the subsidence of the storm brought neither certitude nor peace to Jim, nor rest to Bob, They were passing grotesquely along the rim of one of the innum- erable little craters that pock-marke ed the face of the carth—like the magnified complexion of the moon— in the wide strip of low hills and plateaus that flared out from Crater City in the manner of dried orange peels: Jim tragically erect, with bloodless face and stilted limbs; the hobo shambling after him, hands in pockets, shoulders hunched against the bite in the air, but with brightly sleepless eyes. The touch of a poet in Bob that had made him turn hobo when the material world went against him, kept recalling to his mind in a repe- titious, far-off monotone Tennyson's lines “She must weep or she will die.” He seized a jagged rock and tried to skull Bob with it, * “She must weep or she will die— she must—he must weep or he will die—he must weep or he will die— The gender changed without Bob being aware of it. It added to the acute realism of the scene, Dully, the lines pounded in his head until his dragging feet kept time with them, and his lips silently and end- lessly formed the mournful words. For the first time since he had fled from his tragic cotage at mid- night Jim Fowler's footsteps halted —suddenly, on the edge of a crater at a point where the slope of the saucer dropped abruptly in a cleft left by some forgotten cataclysm, a hundred feet or more; a sort of three-sided well, with a_ reckless jumble of broken and desiccated lava in the bottom, Bob paused silently, at his elbow. Jim glanced at him and seemed to recognize him without curiosity as to how or why either of them got here. Such a look of pain contract- ed Jim's face spasmodically that Bob knew that the numbness of shock was passing and a clearing mind was bringing sharper pain, more deliberate and dangerous re- actions, Bob tensed himself ex- pectantly. Not a sob—but a queer, dry- harsh gulp, as if a thick rope were being drawn up and down in his throat—oozed from Jim's tightened lips. He jumped, straight into the narrow slit of the crater well. Bob caught him around the waist from behind as his feet left the ground swayed dangerously for- ward with his thrashing body for a few seconds for the strain on his own spent body was terrific, then finally, with a wrestler's side throw that flung both of them to the ground, wrenched him away from the first danger. Jim fought like one possessed. Heavier, huskier, all around athlete as he was, Bob could do no more Pictures, Inc, than barely keep his arms locked around Jim's body, and his face drawn down behind and between Jim's shoulder blade out of the way of his frantically tearing hands. Jim was slender, but strong with the dynamic strength of pent \up emotions struggling to escape; Bob was husky, but weak with the ex- haustion of twenty-four hours of ceaseles: activity. ‘s fight, though in his frenzy he did not know it or realize at all what he was doing, was really with himself—his own stemmed agonies—rather than with ‘his physical adversary. It made him a more dangerous fighter, because he was so intent upon jerk- ing free and carrying out his intent to throw himself: to destruction on the jagged crater floor below that he stopped at nothing. He tried to roll over on Bob, then to crush him on the rocky ledge; failing that, he tried to bend over far enough ta bite Bob's hands, but Bob fighting desperately held him so tight that he could not get the necessary free, dom of movement. Finally he seiz- ed up a jagged Java rock and tried to reach around and skull Bob with it, Nearer and nearer to Bob's head the desperate lunges of the rock dagger came. Bob felt his strength going; he could never subdue this grief maddened man, he knew; he could not even now expect to hold his own. Jim was working freer and freer—turning, turning. ggjer Then in the overexertion of his own bodily strength came the sav- ing crack in the dam that held back Jim's grief, for after one vicious blow which almost grazed Bob's head Jim suddenly went limp in a storm of sobs. Bob, with a gasp of relief, let his hands slip from Jim's body and re- laxed, flat on his back, panting and staring up affectionately into Jim's unrestrained eyes. “Oh, why, why did't you let me jump—” Jim wept, and Bob saw in the general relaxation that brought the tears that the danger of his des stroying himself was passed, for this time at least. Why didn't you let me jump? y didn’t you let the Limited hit that boulder last night?” Sobs melt- ed away the last barriers of the em- bargo on his emotions; his unloosed misery {was swift, torrential. “I thanked you for saving me for the happiest¥ event in My Dearest's life—and—and—what you really did save me for—was hell—” For many minutes, while the day- light came, there was no sound on this lonely crag but the raging grie! of the one man, and the labored breathing of the wearied other, Presently Bob got heavily to his feet, then put his hands under Jim's arms and drew him erect. “Come, let's go back!” “No! No!" half staggering, half wrenching away. “I can't—I can't —I don't want to go down—there— to see that—” Jim's grief was chok- ed with rage agzinst the baby who had caused it. “But there are certain things—to be done—” Bob paused dubiously; then, like a gentle prod to bend the grief crazed man to his clearer will, he reminded in a low and humbly sympathetic tone, “You cannot leave her—to strangers!” A gasp, and a quick, startled glance that bore the full, concen- trated burden of his woe; then, with his eyes closed and his chin resting on his bosom, down which his tears | coursed steadily, Jim suffered him- self to be led stumbIng along by the unkempt hobo, whose general ap- pearance of disreputability had been increased by the inner and outer physical strains and wear of the night. An unimpeded view of the town, standing washed and unclothed in the early morning light, guided Bob in his general approach; but it took nearly an hour of steady walking before they had drawn close enough for him to pick out Jim’s cottage from the vague decollective picture he had of it in the darkness, com- bined with a fine instinct for direc- tions and places. Soon he had brought the weeping, unseeing Jim to his very front door. A thin wail filtering out from inside repulsed Jim from the doorstep as effectual- ly as a blow from a door slammed in his face. “No—no—” he sobbed, “I’m not | going in—I don't ever want to see— to touch—it—" “Never mind the baby,” counsel- ed Bob soberly. “You've come here to take care of—your dead—" (To be continued) LUNCH 232 South Center Street Casper, Wyoming LIGHT LUNCHES, SANDWICHES, WAFFLES Highest Quality—Instantaneous Service—Cleanliness THE CHILI KING | FINE CAST IN THE MARRIAGE WHIRL’, COMING Corinne Griffith Sup- ported by Several Leading Stars.
