THE BLUE BUCKLE
A BAFFLING MYSTERY AND BREATHLESS TALE OF ADVENTURE

On heard trantattanllo Untr, returning
from Europe, Craig Rutherford foXXt In love
tclth a iceman, a Mt. Taloott. Kht tttmt to
it trtulltt by ooineihlng, tut refutes hit help,
and tpendt met of the time ttrtth her tnrflttil
hatband, Alto en beird It J, Baron JfeMtr
man, an mntervtmlout financier, who mnket i
ilm preposition to Rutherford, and in a
eonvtreatlon taut that he tuepeete the Tat'
fold ef tomethlng, lie tired attention to a
Hue truckle toon by ilrt, Talcott. Later
Helderman briber tht tclretett operator to
tt him take a menage.
CHAPTER It-(Contlnued)
"1 am not usually curious." ho said,
"but Is this nidin'sa something you de-
elte to confide to mT"
Helderman nodded again, then beckoned
his companion to a corner sheltered from
the breexe and ottered him a cigar, while
toe proceeded to light another.
"Tou will understand that this Is con
fidential?" he snld. after so long a al
ienee that Rutherford wag afraid he
ought to divert the conversation Into
other channels.
"Certainly."
"The message was from the Caledonia,
which had It from Liverpool. It ran like
this; Ten days ago a diamond necklace.
Value 20,000 francs, was purchased In the
shop of Klrschwasser, In Berlin, appar
ently for Import to America.' Tou gather
the meaning of this. Mr. Rutherford7 It
is for the secret service men, and refers
to smugglers."
Itutherford was frankly Interested.
"Who bought the necklacoT Did the
message give any particulars?" he asked.
"The details were few. The purchasers
were people of evident prosperity."
"There was more than one person,
then?"
"There were two," answered the banker.
"MenT"
"One man," said Helderman slowly,
"and a woman."
Itutherford could not suppress the nerv
ous haste with which he put the next In
quiry. "How were they to be Identified T"
"Tlio Information was meager. The
woman was young and quite attractive.
The man was middle-aged and wore a
beard."
Craig made no further Inquiries. He
waa smitten with a sense of disaster Im
pending. Helderman, however, continued
to talk, with the freedom of one super
ficially Interested.
"The message 'would not have been sent
to this ship but for two reasons: The
man and woman are our fellow-passengers,
and there are secret service men
also here, detailed to watch them."
Itutherford felt that his silence would
aeem strange. He forced himself to
peak.
"First or second cabin?"
"First, of course."
For an Instant, as they emerged into
the silver radiance that flooded the upper
deck, the two men regarded each other;
then Craig turned away, with a pretense
of contemplating the beauty of the night.
He knew that Helderman had read his
mind, as he in turn had Interpreted that
of Helderman; and both of them were
thinking of the same flrst-class passen
gers, an attractive young woman and an
elderly bearded man.
"Well what do you think?" Helderman
finally asked, twirling upward the points
of his mustache and downward the point
of his goatee, both grizzled and betraying
his age unnecessarily.
"I haven't any definite opinion" Craig
began, reluctantly.
"Be honest with yourself! Tou know
you have! You think what I think!"
If the financier had expected denial or
surprise from Itutherford he waa disap
pointed. The young man merely shrugged
his shoulders and kept his own counsel.
"Tou do not, Mr. Rutherford, happen
to know a secret service man when you
see him?" persisted Helderman.
"No. I do not," replied Craig.
"Tomorrow, then, I ausgest that you
correct your Ignorance, Keep your eyes
open and perhaps you will see what I
hare seen."
"Where do you suggest that I look?"
asked Craig.
"In the neighborhood of Mrs. Henry
Talcott!" Helderman answered, turning
abruptly toward the royal suite. "I have
the honor to bid you good-night."
If Helderman had striven all evening
to plant a barbed arrow In Rutherford's
mind he should have gone to bed proud
of his success. The arrow waa there, and
It rankled keenly. Craig's mind traveled
and retraveled the various points for and
against Mrs. Talcott In tho short time
he had known her. How little was his
positive knowledge of her, and yet how
she appealed constantly to his trust and
loyalty! Here, In one short evening, he
had reason to doubt her motives and ac
tions, on two separate occasions, and yet,
with the blind unreasonableness of a man
In love, he was striving to dismiss every
thing except the charm of her sweet and
buoyant personality.
Granted, however, that her possible In
terview with the banker might be reason
ably explained; granted that she was in
nocent of smuggling, which was not. in
deed, the moat heinous of sins what con
cern was It of his Craig Rutherford's
that her charm set even this cynical finan
cier aflame?
Craig had never liked the kind of men
who And diversion In affairs with married
women, and the disapproval that he had
bestowed upon them now rebounded upon
himself. Could it be that he waa Jealous?
He recalled the phrase with which Hel
derman had described her. He had spoken
of her dainty aloofness and the lure of
It. Craig conceded bitterly that the clever
financier had analyzed the secret of her
appeal. From this point the young man
ceased to reason and gave himself over
to his fancy. He saw this girl for she
was no more than a girl moving lightly
along the deck, the folds of her gray
ulster pressed close against her erect,
slender figure, as she gaily breasted the
wind. He was proudly conscious of tho
admiration with which all eyes followed
her. His Imagination appropriated her
and reveled in the possession. He forgot
his own culpability in thinking of her at
all. He forgot his stubborn efforts to
allay his suspicion. He knew only that
at last Into his Ufa had come the one In
evitable woman, for whom poets had sung
and warriors had fought since the foun
dation of the world. Forgetful or all else,
Ih, draw the flimsy veil from his pocket
and pressed it to his lips.
The action, slight as It was, brought
him to his senses with a start. He cursed
himself for a fool, Here ha stood. Idly
dreaming, while the woman he sought to
serve was dally and hourly exposed to
dancer. The hidden menace which lay
behind Helderman's allusion to the secret
service men was now clear to him. for the
drat time- Helderman waa frankly Inter
ested In Sirs, Talcott, and might try to
put to some ulterior use the Information
he had xaintd by wireless. He was ap
parently powerful; he already knew about
the detectives and their mission. Against
these forces, Mrs. Talcott was practically
defenseless. Culpable or not, she should

The tuxt wwplng. Rutherford arose
with &u dtttmtiaatioa of the night
rirtUej4 Urte Immediate action.
-Wb-iUwr or KM Urt, TJtt confided la
t ? mats eve he enteful for his
fe irf tast be must took aftr be
her Invalid husband would commend him
In that, he virtuously told himself.
Full of his project, he sauntered around
the ship, seeking the disturbing owner of
the veil, and at lost was rewarded by see
ing her, seated demurely In the library,
looking through the pages of a cumber
some volume. But the Rtnart, simple blue
hat, with its long quill, gave Craig suffi
cient excuse to enter and Interrupt her
labors.
"Vour book Indicates a laudable desire
to work," he said; "but your hat points
longingly toward outdoors. Don't you
think It too flno a morning to be Inside?"
"Then why are you here?" she asked. In
the same bantering tono that he had as
sumed. "I I came lo do missionary work."
"What a dreadful task'" she said, pout
ing. "To have to visit the heathen, and
on a fine morning like this'"
"Oh, some heathen aren't so bad," he
said, reassurlnelv. "especially after they
have been converted. Como on, let's go
outside!"
"I would like to, awfully," she said. "It
Is not hard to preach to mo about out
doors. Out, duty first, ou know; and I
wanted to find something." And she
glanced down at the volume In her hands.
"Perhaps I can help you," he suggested.
"Are you good at finding thlngs7" she
asked, darting at him a quick keen glance
out of eyes that seemed alternately to
laugh and then to be veiled by n softening
mist of sadness. She had never seemed
so bewitching to him as she did in this
moment.
"I nm that!" said Craig, emphatically.
"The only trouble with me Is that I find
too much'"
"Too much?" she repeated, purzled.
"Ten for my own good."
Bhc was silent, and bpgan turning the
leaves of her book. Craig wondered If
he would ever be able to curb his Imptu
ous tongue. He glanced at the book. It
was a New Tork directory.
"One can usually find too much In di
rectories," he amended. "But let me help
you: I'm pretty well up In New Tork."
"Thank you," she said, simply, as Craig
renched over to take tho bulkv volume out
of her hands. His hnndR touched hers for
the first time. The breath caught In his
throat as he saw the rich color surgo
softly up under the clear skin of ner
cheeks. Then, with the defensive Instinct
of womankind, her eyes flashed quick
glances about the room to sec who had
observed her blushing.
The look was like wine to Rutherford.
It meant that sho was not ashamed to re.
veal an Interest In him, and had no fear
of tho use to which he might put It, buv
waa careful of tho Interpretation that
strangera might give It.
Keenly sensitive on her account, wildly
happy on his own, Craig's glance followed
hers hero and there In tho room. A pair
of piercing gray eyes darted back to a
book, as they encountered his. They be.
lorged to a stocky man, not exactly of the
atudent type, though apparently Intent
upon the volumo which he held who was
the only other occupant of the library.
Instantly Helderman's reference to the
secret-service man who was watching
Mrs. Talcott leaped Into his mind. This
man evidently had been watching the girl,
but whether from Idle curiosity of the
voyager, or for some speclnl reason, who
could say? Rutherford resolved to make
it his business to find out. Ho was all tlm
more anxious to have a confidential chat
with Mrs. Talcott, to learn, if possible,
what was troubling her, and at any rate
to warn her of her peril.
"Come out on deck, nnd ask me about
New Tork," he urged.
The girl hesitated; she seemed to be
weighing his suggestion. Then he saw
the white, ungloved fingers grasp tho cor
ners of her steamer coat and draw them
together.
Tho mysterious blue buckle shone with
a dull gleam against tho purity of her
throat.
"Tou know you always have to wait
for a woman to get ready," she said,
smiling up at him, while she drew on her
sloves.
"That Is no crime, If the noman Is
worth waiting for," ne rejoined, moving
toward tho door. He waa elated. She
was going to walk with him on the
sunny deck. The eami warm wind would
sweep them both. It was not much, per
haps; but It was enough to make him
forget, for the moment, that she bore
another man's name, and thnt she was
menaced by a painful suspicion. He was
to hear tho sound of her voice perhaps
would be told the reason for many things
he did not now understand. Why should
he not be happy? It was so Infinitely be
yond the casual greeting, the occasional
smile that he had thus far enjoyed. It
was a fit sequel to the rare, brief Inter
view of the night before, when she re
clined In the slhcr moonlight, like a
veritable creature of another world.
Today, In the broad sunshine, Ruther
ford could have laughed nt the ease with
which he had fallen under Helderman's
careruny created spell of mystery, and
his suggestion that thla woman was In
any way connected with something dark
ar underhanded. He watched her as
she walked with free, light step, her
head held high, nnd the frank, sweet
fearlessness of her look Droclalmln? the
blameless life behind It. Rutherford rev
eled In the thought of being admitted
Into her friendship and being permitted
to shield her from unjust attack.
They made one circuit of the ship, the
girl chatting and laughing In tho manner
of the carefree; the man answering her
with like banter, and forgetting for the
moment any more Important business.
But as they came again to the library
door, from which they had emerged,
Rutherford caught sight of the stocky
student fellow lolling against the door
way; and glancing back again out of tho
corner of his eye, saw him make a sign
to another man who lounged against tho
bulkhead, Rutherford was now certain
that these two were the secret-service
men detailed to watch thla charming
girl at his side,
However, ho gave no sign of Interest by
look or speech, and, Indeed, continued to
revel In her eociety, without fear or de
pression. He would presently find a
chance, he reasoned, to tell her of this
Imminent danger, and then she could
place In his hands such Indubltabl nronf.
of her Innocence that he would thereafter
be able to aquelch both Helderman and
these spies at one blow. But his hopes
of learning something tangible were
doomed to disappointment; as they
rounded the deck on another lap they
encountered Mr, Talcott reclining In a
steamer chair, with an empty one and
only one by hla side. ,
"Tou have been awa a lona- tlm. ,.
observed, In the colorless voice of an
invnllrt
derness, the pretty absorption of the
girl by hla side. She was almost ma
ternal, and the Invalid had given himself
over Into her care with a little sigh of
content
Rutherford excused himself and walked
anay, out of humor with life. He was
apparently no farther along with his
friendship, or In his ability to be of
the slightest service, than before. He
had scarcely swung Into a good stride
and begun to see n bit beyond his own
Immediate misery when a man who had
done many miles with him In dally con
stitutionals around the deck happened
to cross his path,
"Things are getting a bit squally thla
morning," he remarked.
"That so? I hadn't noticed," rejoined
Craig, glancing at the sunny stretch of
water.
"Yes, air-but I don't mean the weather,
It's right here on board ship."
"What's tho trouble?' asked Ruther
ford, unlnterestedly.
"You must have gotten up late today!
Tho air Is fairly buzzing! Everybody's
talking!"
"What about?" asked Craig, seeing that
the man would persist until he had com
municated his news.
"Smugglers aboard!"
Rutherford started Into decided atten
tion. "What makes you think how do you
know?" lifl demanded.
"A wireless message received last night
says that a week ago a man and woman
bought a, diamond necklace, worth 250,000
francs, In Berlin "
Rutherford listened, thunderstruck, to
tn Hip nlmnat exact rendition of Helder
man's words. Evidently he had been
correct, and the secret message had be
come noised abroad but by whom?
"Tho smugglers the man and woman
aro on board this boat." the man con
tinued glibly; "that Is why we wero
warned. The woman is youngish, and tho
man hns a beard."
"How did you hear about It? The ship's
paper publish It?"
"Not much!"
"Who told you, then?" Craig Insisted.
"Blest If I knoxv! Everybody seems to
know about It, though It's naturally the
business of the secret service But It has
leaked somehow."
Rutherftul busied hlmrolf for tho next
hour In verifying the man's words. Every
body did seem to know nbout It. Every
body was talking. Little knots of seem
ing conspirators could be seen here, there
and everywhere. Suspicion wagged nnd
see-sawed and dodged about. The few
bearded men among the throng of smooth
faced Americans wanted to, but dared not,
jeek the barber.
And amid nil this confusion and gossip,
the two people who answered most nearly
the description sat In their Btcamer chairs
on the sunny deck, opart from tho buzzing
crowd, talking -In low tones, or gazing
dreamily out across the sea.
IV
laMwmi k mm b wtta- i sot fail to mart; the solicitude, th isn-
Invulld.
The girl's face flushed, as she ran
eagerly forward.
"I'm sorry, dear, to have kept you
watting," she said; and deftly arranged
his cushions more comfortably around
him.
Rutherford, violently partisan, thought
that the elderly husband was making
the youthful wife miserable by polite
tyranny, but if she felt thla she gave
no outward sign. His own Impulse waa
to withdraw at once. He waited, how
ever, long enough to assist her with
some scattered pillows, and employed
the opportunity to observe tho invalid
more closely than he had ever before
been rblc to do
Mr. Talcott was a man of singularly
flno phslque. despite hla present condi
tion. As his head lay back among the
cushions, Craig was bound to acknowl
edge that never had ho seen a form and
face better harmonizing the Ideals of
classic beauty This man mUht have
posed aa a middle-aged Apollo: and in
spite of the pointed beard he wore in
foreign fashion, he was well worth belong

THE BLUE BUCKLE IN JEOPARDY
One other course of action presented It
self to Rutherford, and this he decided to
try at once. Ho would accost the secret
service man whom he had discovered In
the library and learn what he know con
cerning the mutter, and if possible why
he was trailing the Talcotts.
He rounded the deck again before find
ing tho man he sought, but was nt last
rewarded by seeing him come out nnd
relievo tho fellow who had been lounging
against the bulkheads, within sight of the
Talcotts' chairs. Craig inarched straight
up to him, with the intention of accost
ing him; but was Interrupted on tho way.
"Oh, sir, may I trouble you?"
Tho voice was rich and low, and It
seemed, somehow, familiar. Rutherford,
with Instinctive courtesy, halted and
turned. A handsomely dreSBed woman
stood helplessly beside a steamer chair
and ' looked expectantly up ut him, a
frown and a smile blending upon her ex
pressive face. Her hands wero busy with
the folds of her gown.
"I cannot got It loose!" she complained,
as Rutherford came toward her.
The hem of her skirt was caught and
held securely in the Joint of the chair.
While the secret service man moved
quickly away, Craig busied himself In the
lady's release. Something In tho graoo
and coquetry of her look and nttltudo
told Rutherford perfectly normal and
masculine In his self-appreciation that
she was not at all displeased with tht
adventure. He even regarded tho fas
tened skirt aa an excuse. A moment's
unavailing work, however, reduced hla
conceit and enlisted his ingenuity.
"I'm afraid I shall have to tear It," he
announced regretfully.
"Well if you must. But, of course, I
am only a woman and n gown Is a gown,
you know!"
Craig showed an Instant approval of her
feminine attitude, and devoted himself
seriously to the task of releasing the
skirt from the clutches of the obstinate
chair, without harm.
"It's this little bunch this small wad
In tho hem that holds It so securely," he
said.
She laughed and he glanced up quickly.
Her veil waa raised, enabling him to look
straight Into the warm brown eyes of a
woman whose features were almost per
fect, and whose rapidly changing ex
pressions reflected the vivacity which
has long made the Viennese women fa
mous. Her height and graceful form
were not unlike those of another pas
senger who waa not long absent from
uraigs tnougnts; Dut ner breezy, un
conventional conversation was In marked
contrast to the shy reserve of the other.
"That small wad is a tiny weight," she
said, "The wind Is no respecter of
ankles, you know, so the hem must be
made shall I say, conservative?"
She was cosmopolitan, certainly. Craig
knew that no American girl, who looked
so refined and beautiful as Bhe, would
have cared to begin an acquaintance with
the suggestive coquetry of such words,
accompanied by a quick downward glance
that Invited his own scrutiny. He had
the Impression that she was accustomed
to being Judged as a beauty, and knew
her power with mankind.
Rutherford recognized her charm, ad
mired her beauty, and sensed the
piquancy of the situation, but he was
armored against the threefold appeal.
"There! At last you ara free, madam,'
he said, as a final tug released the dress,
"At last? I do not think you have been
long! And. not madam, please, but ma
demoiselle MadamolseHe Irene Arany, to
be exact. Indeed, I tnank you er. Tou
are an artist, it Is not hurt at all, Mr,
Mr-?"
"Rutherford," he prompted,
"Thank you, Mr, Rutherford."
She spoke with a quaintly tinged
speech that showed she had another
mother-tongue, although her English was
excellent- She waa frankly ready for
him to stay and make himself agreeable,
but Craig's mind had already returned to
the business In hand while" transferring
hi energies to her service. He bowed
and hurried away somewhat abruptly,
while MadamolseHe Arany followed him
with a calculating glance which proved
her to he a clever woman, as well a
beautiful. It suggested, too, that her In
terest In him was not born merely of
this morning's adventure.
Craig was striding forward again at
full speed, when a new thought inter
rupted his progress a effectively as any
physical object could have done. Sup
pose he should And the secret service
man, what should he say to hunt If
he questioned him directly about the
Talcotts would he not give the de
tective an Idea, of his own. interest In
them, and virtually get himself, too, into
the position of being watched? Al
together, the weat thing for him to
do would bo to preserve the appearance
of a mere traveling acquantaace which
was all he was, ha told himself to watch
without being watched. And thus perhaps
be able to eervs her whom he loved.
Ruthe -ford had long since given up
trying to conceal or combat thla love with
himself. Ho loved Mrs, Talcott, In spite
of his own notions of honor. In spite of
any doubt which might attach to her con
duct And loving her, he found himself
utterly unable to believe her anything
but the sweet, true woman that she
seemed. So all his teasonlng, and it
now seemed, all his planning got him
nowhere. He had reached a dead line
beyond which he could not pass. At
every turn he seemed to be thwarted,
until hla whole being stormed nt the ob
stacles which provented him from stand
ing boldly by her side and offering her
his help, his protection. He asked no
reward but this.
Tho day had passed, and he had ac
complished nothing, for alt his high
resolves of the morning. Dusk was
settling gently over the ship. The ten
der witchery of the twilight waa not yet
Invaded by the triumphant maglo of elec
tricity, which should transform tho ves
sel Into a floating miracle of light. Thor
oughly dispirited with his feollng of
helplessness, Craig entered one of the dim
corridors which led to his stateroom.
Then, as if in answer to his great de
stro for action, came a sudden Inter
ruption. A woman's low, startled cry
rang above the mellow monotone of the
Bhlp's sounds. Again It arose, frightened,
pleading, followed by tho husky. Im
perative tones of n man's voice.
"Coming! cried Rutherford, running at
top speed toward the voices, certain that
It was a woman rrying for help.
He was not mistaken Turning the
corner of the passage which led to hla
own door, he came full upon two strug
gling figures. A woman was endeavoring
to ward off n man. She was young nnd
slight, the man, short and stocky, yet
tho woman seemed to hold her own In n
manner which showed surprising
strength, for every move of her assailant
was met and foiled.
All this Craig took In at a single glance.
The next look showed him that one of the
two wob Mrs. Talcott the woman of all
the world that he had been wanting to
aid nnd In n trice ho had sprung upon
tho mnn nnd grappled with him. This
action, as It transpired, required no
special heroism The man's defense was
surprisingly weak; indeed, he seemed de
sirous only of getting away. Meanwhile,
lie sought to shield his face, either from
discovery or from attack, with his left
nrm. Craig struck at the shielding hand.
With a quick twist of his body the man
tore himself loose and fled down the
corridor.
Rutherford started to give chase, when
an Imploring call from the girl brought
him to a standstill.
"Don't gol Oh, don't, pleasel"
She was leaning against the wall, pant
ing for breath, and scorned almost ready
to drop from the unusual exertion. Craig
sprang to her side, his arms extended.
Involuntarily she shrunk back and drew
horself upright lithe and firm. Howbelt,
the trembling hands pressed against her
breast and tho startled eyes, gleaming
large and bright from the white oval of
her face, told eloquently of her need of
protection.
Craig looked at that slender figure, so
alone In tho world, with all the longing
of agea upon ages of physically-dominant
man written 111 his features but his
arms fell limply to his side. It seemed to
him, In that moment, as though he would
havo given anything he possessed for the
courage. If not the right, to take her.
But her very weakness was her best
protection.
"Who was that man?" Craig demanded.
"I I don't know," sho whispered un
certainly, peering over her shoulder, and
unconsciously moving nearer to Ruther
ford. "I don't think I ever saw him
before."
Craig wondered momentarily why she
hesitated, and why she had seemed afraid
for him to follow the fugitive Her next
words, however, gave him fresh food for
thought. Putting her hnnds to her face,
aa If the fright and excitement which sho
had undergone wero finally dominating
her resolution, Bho sobbed:
"Oh, what shall wedo, what shall we
do! I had no Idea that any one on board
know about this! I thought wo were
safe!"
Sho lifted hor hands, and thero, dang
ling from the torn edge of her cloak,
Craig glimpsed the blue buckle. Her
nervous fingers sought to loosen or secure
It, he could not tell which: and In his
usual masterful way, which had been suc
cessful with womankind until he met
Mrs. Henry Talcott, he reached out to
help hor with It
sure enough Britisher. He had epata on,
too.
"Toung woman,' he said, feverely,
'you've spattered mud on my spats my
spalsl' ho added, as if that made It all
the worse, and It took my breath away
so that I couldn't think of a thing to say
before he'd stalked out of earshot All
I coutd do to get back at him was to sub
scribe 110 to Mrs. Pankhursl's fund, and
I'd no more sent the check than I learned
she'd quit militancy during the war,"

The "marriage" of David Brandon and
Hannah Jacobs, the old rabbi'a beautiful
daughter, very nearly turned out to bo
the "real thing," resulting In the legal
wedding of Ruby Hoffman, the Russian
actress, and Clifford Bruce, who portrays
these parts in the William Fox produc
tion of Zangwllra drama, "The Children
of the Ghetto."
To "take" the wedding scene t'ne entire
company engaged In the production,
under the direction of Frank Powell, em
barked In IS automobiles for the Madison
Street Synagogue, New Tork, where the
"ceremony" was to take place. Rabbi
Herman Moses, of the synagogue, was,
by dint of much persuasion. Induced to
read the Hebraic wedding ritual clad In
his robes. Mr. Bruce aa David Brandon
led Miss Hoffman as Hannah Jacobs be
fore the rabbi, who began the reading of
tho service.
Mr, Bruce produced the ring and was
about to place It on Miss Hoffman's
finger When Wilton Lackaye. who plays
Rabbi Jacobs, Hannah's father, a part
which he created, stopped tho ceremony
abruptly. In his long study of the part
Mr, Lackaye has learned considerable
Hebraic lore and he knew that once the
ring waa placed on Miss Hoffman's finger
and the closing words of the marriage
rlto read, Mr. Bruce and Miss Hoffman
would, according to orthodox Jewish
views, be Irrevocably married,
Mr, Lackaye waa In the nick of time
and o was Plncus, the crazy poet who
stops the ccremonj to prevent this step
being taken and the scene was "faded
out" with David Just about to slip the
ring on Hannah's finger.
"Phew I Just thinK now nearly I came
to being a bigamist I" breathed Mr. Bruce
who owns to being already wed. mopping
hla forehead nervously, "this picture
game has even more perils In It than I
surmised."

awakening of the soul of tho girl to thfl
maglo power of love, and Edith Storoy, who

of suggestion in her depleting of tho situa

thing of triumph in tho photography of tho

fKK) persons wore required for this Incident.
