experienced photoplay-goer will And some
thing In them; for In many tpsee the
plethora of good dims on the market has
caused him to miss seeing some of thee
older photoplays, and In other very good
work that has later been recognized at I
It true value went by unaeclalmed. Now
he can pick them up again.
Take for Instance the reissues of the

Tho legitimate theatre otters no such
opportunity of seeing actors of big present-day
reputations In Just the perform
ance, they gave In earlier days.
Nat Goodwin has played many parts on
the stage and off. At one .time, ho ran a.
brokerage business In the Wall street dis
trict, where he Is still remembered per
sonally as well as by reputation. Since
those dayB Nat has gono Into pictures
once or twlca and Is now making "The
Master Hand," under the direction of
Harley Knowlcs. So down to Broad and
Wall, they all go for the purpose of tak
ing some scenes for the photoplay. There
are times when notoriety and popularity
arc Inconvenient. This was one of them
for Nnt He was, and Is, so well remem
bered In his former financial haunts that
for some time he couldn't work for tho
polite mobbing he received. However,
"order was finally restored," and the
camera man was allowed to proceed.
George Nash and a company of stage
celebrities nre now at work under Oscar
Eagle's direction in a William Al Brady
play, "The Cotton King."
In producing the plcturlratlon of Wil
liam J HurlbUrt's play. "The Writing
On the Wall," with which Miss Ulga
Nethersole was Identified for two sea
sons, Vitagraph Director Tefft Johnson
required the front of a block of tene
ment houses with a particular type of
fire-escape, for use In one of the Scenes
vital to the Interest of the story. A search
throughout the entire East Side of New
York city and through the tenement dfe
trlct of Brooklyn failed to reveal even a
single tenement that would answer his
purpose, as recent fire laws and the ac
tivity of the building Inspectors were re
sponsible for the complete elimination of
the type of escape that would conform to
the requirements of Hurlburt's story. To
overcome this obstacle and complete the
realism of the pictured narrative. Direc
tor Johnson was compelled to have It
built, in the open-air studios at Flatbushr
the outer shell of a front of houses, every
detail of which being produced from still
pictures of the Bowery photographed
about II years ago. One scene only of the
house fronts, which served as a back
ground for tense action, was taken when
tney were set on Jlre, and one of the most
thrilling episodes of the 6000 feet that will
comprise the finished picture was filmed.
The offices of the Stanley Company,
with Its subsidiary organizations, the
Stanley Booking Company and Stanley
Publicity Bureau, have moved from the
Globe Theatre Building, Market and

The Daily Story
His First Client
She was his first client. Jim, the firm's
"buttons," ushered her Into Allan For-
rater's private law ofllco Impressively,
and handed her over to the gloomy young
man at the desk.
They stood facing each other a moment,
sho timidly: he hesitating whether to fall
upon her neck with gratitude. He had
a crazy Impulse to do so for he had
waited for her these many moons. But
he didn't. He advanced In his best man
ner and wrung her hand.
"Er " sho laughed a little. "I Just
came to have a Uttlo talk with you, Mr.
Forrester."
"Certainly. Sit down." Forrester used
his finest chest tones.
There was something charmingly lr
resoluto about her. Besides being the
start of his fortunes, Forrester felt a
purring satisfaction that she was a girl,
attractive In some kind of clothes that
suited her precisely. Ho drew up a
chair and sat facing her across his desk.
What interesting train of events had
brought her to seek counsel?
"Pardon me for Intruding I really dis
like It but won't you tell me something
of your circumstances?" She glanced
about the room. "It Is hard for creditors
to understand why you cannot meet their
bills."
Poor chap! Never had so cruel ft trick
been played on mortal man. A collector!
And oh, ye gods, a girl! and an attractive
one! Forrester's Qrst conscious thought
was to rush out and wring the office boy's
neck. Hadn't ho orders to admit no col
lectors? But Jim's paternal pride the
illuminating knowledge that she had
brought him prestige with the office force,
restrained him. Ho could only slump
down like a cowed creature In his swivel
chair and look across at the girl with
eyes gone debased with humiliation. He
was utterly at her mercy. He did not
protest or extenuate. He appeared ready
for execution.
The girl returned his gaze pityingly. "I
know It must be hard to keep up appear

paused and looked at her.
"Yes," she smiled. 'Tailor- Hall Bald

He gave a short laugh. "I get his

"You don't think you could make a

unconsciously shs gave him to under
stand that she was not of his class.
Meanwhile, from mixed motives, Anne
made monthly payments on his tailor
bill She told herself It was to keep her
own Job, but she knew It was not ex
clusively that.
Thrio months had gone by with sur
prising rapidity and the last of tha
monthly statements had gone out when
an Imperative summons came for Anne
At the phone. It was Forrester, who
commanded, begged, eajoled her to come
to his olhce for obvious reasons ho could
not come to her. She thought nt nrst
she could not go she knew he had dis
covered 'her folly that appeared sudden
ly shameless but she knew, too, that
he would look her Up at her boarding
place, If she did not go. She was ,not
very proud of her boarding place, so
sho went.
After he had leaped to his feet and
gripped both of her hands, he dived Into
it drawer, bringing up the telltale bill.
"What made you?" he cried, accusing
ly "I don't deserve It. But, gee, it
was bully of you I"
She had intended to deny it.
"I I have brothers," sho admitted,
weakly.
"I had a real client yesterday," he
said, hunching confidently on the cor
ner of the desk nearest her, "lie gave
mc this," handing out a ten-dollar bill.
"It's yours."
"Oh, no," sho shrnnk away from It.
"No. Indeed. I couldn't think of It."
Then, nt the pained look that crossed
his face, "You need It to buy dinners,
You don't know how thin you are. You
must tako caio of yourself,"
She had not realized how earnestly she
spoko till he met her eyes, dumb grati
tude nnd real tears In their clean depths.
"You oro tho only one In the world
who really cares," he almost whispered.
Then fiercely, "Those society buds bleed
you and the tailors dun yout Oh, for
half a sou I'd get down to reality' What
docs It cost you to live?" he broke o.i
suddenly.
"Five n week," she laughed with relief.
He looked at her with a slow smite.
"Geo! I could keep n wife for what It
costs me. I say," Impulsively, "let's try
It!"
"Isn't this "
"Rather sudden?" ho finished, smiling'
down at her. "Not bo very. You know
mo bettor than anybody on earth hon
est and I llko you better than any one
I ever saw. Really, I I think you're tho
girl for me. Won't you think about It?"
"Yes: enough to pay the next Instal
ment," sho gibed, stepping asldo for nn
aggressive personage, who elbowed
through the door. Forrester gave him
one comprehensive glance nnd leaned
over her.
"You won't have to," he murmured.
"I've been batting him for six months."
Then aloud, "That offer stands good,
Miss Sargent. I mean to seo that you
accept It. Good morning."

(Copyright, 1014.

CHAPTER XXVII-(Contlnued).
THE younger brother listened, with a
flushed face and fists that kept closing
and unclosing. "I feel a durned fool," he
said, "to have trusted to a brother like
you Instead of leaving ArnoJ to rot as
Huron suggested. Give me back those
plans," ho Insisted, "and Monty and 1
won't trouble you any more. After all,
I did Baddle myself with the responsibil
ity of Aline, while "
"I handed you over my Bhare In
the old man's property In considera
te thereof and have brought your
diughter up an my own," Interrupted
the engineer. "Well," he said slowly,
"I'm not going to betray you, but tho
pluns remain where they are in that safe.
And before we do a thing further I'll
trouble you to cable to this Chinese ser
vant of yours In whatever language ho
understands, telling him to release my
partner."
"Give me back those plans first"
Eustace noted the unwontedly dogged
expression on his brother's face and
smiled. "You are a fool!" he exclaimed
almost admiringly. "If you don't cable
your C'nlnee servant I shall simply cable
tn the New York nollce or the British
Consul. And why are you so scared about
those plans? They ain't the originals. To
have copies of plans which the police
don't know, were ever In the murdered
man's possenslon ain't much against you."
Sydney stood biting his lips, his eyes
downcast, considering what his brother
had said. Like all weak, stupid people,
he had a profound distrust of a superior
Intellect and suspected a trap In the most
obviously well-meant counsels.
"Seo here," he said sulkily, "you pro
pose to let out Arrol, and 'ne'll be over
here in no time, and there'll be those pa
pers waiting for him ready to his hand."
By way of answer Eustace Dereve drew
the cable forma toward him and began to
write. Having completed the message, ha
showed It to his brother. It was ad
dressed to the Chief of Police, New
York City.
With a gesture of childish rage and Im
potence, Sydney snatched at the form,
tore It up. and sitting down, wrote out a
form addressed to Lee Sing, West 7lst
streets "Release prisoner. Boss."
"Thank you," said his brother, with a
quiet smile; he touched tho bell. The
office boy appeared. "Send that off at
once,", said his master.
CHAPTER XXVIII.
THE brothers parted at the door of the
office, Sydney, with an HI grace ac
cepting his brother's Invitation to dine at
Hampstead that evening and to stay with
him so long as he remained In London.
As soon aB Eustace was out of sight ho
called a cab nnd was driven to Gilbert
Huron's rooms In Clarges street.
Huron wab ensconced In an armchair
reading the newspaper when he arrived
He received his visitor with a friendly
handshake and offered him a cigar.
"Have you got the papers?" he In
quired with apparent oalmnesa.
"No," Bald Sydney sulkily. "He would
not part with them."
"He wouldn't, eh? Your brotherl Well,
that's a bad lookout or you."
"I don't know about that I've ex,
plained everything to him and he ain't
likely to split."
Huron's face went white- "You haven't
thought It prudent to trust him so far all
these years." he remarked, "But you
haven't mentioned my share In that busi
ness, have you. or Mrs. Plessey'a?"
I told him everything."
Huron, leaped from his chair and
crumpled up tha paper in hi hand. "Then
you'll swing?' he flhouted. "You'll swing!
You have die for u all, yourself jn.

fool!"

BUILDING BRITISH BOATS
Grtat Fleet of Motor Craft to
Meet Submarine Attacks Re
ported Constructed.
NEW YORK, July II. Investigation of
the report thai ths British Government Is
putting together a large fleet of small
gasollne-drlven launches or patrol boats,
equipped with steel rams and quick-firing
guns, for the purpose or meeting utr
many' submarine warfare, does not re
veal that any considerable number of
these boats are being constructed In the
United States. In fact, none Of the boat
builders along the Atlantic coast will ad
mit that they have contracts for such
craft.
In discussing1 today the report Just men
tioned one marine constructor of consid
erable reputation who Is In a position to
know something of the British plans for
defending her coasts and ocean lanes
said:
"England has, roughly speaking, about
COO torpedoboat destroyers which are
massed In and about the English Chan
nel to protect the constant heavy trans
portation of men, horses and supplies
going across to Franco. She has been
very successful In protecting all this work
from German attack, although there Is
no doubt that the Germans have tried to
Interfere and that they would much
rather sink transports carrying largo
numbers of soldiers than make random
attacks on merchant ships.
"Having massed her defense on the
Channel, England, In all probability, Is
not trying seriously to defend the ocean
lanes on tho other side or the island, as
It Is a vast field to cover and tho Indi
vidual losses compared with the total
amount of ocean traffic nro scattered and
on tho wholo not so serious as from tho
non-mllltary viewpoint they may seem."

He stared blankly up Into the white face
of tho man who stood beforo him.
"You and Mrs. Plessey, I reckon," ho
replied slowly.
"You dare to say that!" shrieked
Huron.
This time It was Dereve who remained
calm. "Sea here. Mr. Huron," he said
quietly, looking Bteadlly Into the other's
eyes. "I've had more uncomplimentary
languago used to mo on this side than I
can very well digest We've been
partners so far In this dirty business
nnd It don't do for us to quarrel. There's
a saying that when thieves fall out
honest men come by their own. The
honest man In the case is Arrol. And
what'll jar you still more Is that I'vo
sent a telegram to L'erd Sing "bidding him
let Mr. Arrol walk out."
Huron made a gesture of despair, and
turning to the window Ktared blankly out
Into Clarges-strcct.
"And," added Dereve. "I don't mind
Imparting a little more Information which
may or may not bo of Interest to you.
It's about Miss Plessey."
"What about her?"
"Only that Arrol tricked "my daughter
Into taking her on as companion or heln
or some job of that sort and the girl
only left the house this morning."
"Left the house? Where has she gone?"
"I don't know. My daughter only
knew."
Huron dug hie nnlls Into his hands, "We
must find her this ts most Important.
Hurry up, man. Get hold of your daugh
ter. You don't know how much depend.
on this! Ib your daughter on the 'phone?"
"I guess so. She may be back home by
this time. Anyhow I'll try to get on to
her."
He rose and walked over to the Instru
ment which stood on Huron's table. He
looked up the number In the directory and
was presently connected.
"Is Miss Monty Dereve there?"
"No, MIsb Dereve isn't at home."
Huron brushed Dereve aside and spoke
direct Into the Instrument. "I'm sorry.
I have a message to deliver Immediately
to the lady who left the house this morn
ing. Can you tell me her address?"
"Oh, yes, sir. I called the cab myself.
Miss Robinson you mean 35, Achilles
crescent, Camden Town."
"Thank you."
Huron replaced the receiver and walked
toward the door. He glanced toward
Sydney. "You had better stay here till
I return, or no, If you prefer it, go to
your brother's house and call on me this
evening. I must have a talk with Maud
Plessey."
Leaving Sydney to make up his mind,
he went out Into the hall, put on his hat,
and hurrying Into the street hailed the
first cab he met. Twenty minutes later
he knocked t the door of Maud's lodging
house.
"Is Miss Robinson at home?" he asked
the landlady.
The woman eyed the smartly dressed
gentleman suspiciously. She did not like
smartly dressed gentlemen to come to her
house Inquiring for her young ladles. "I'll
see," she said dubiously; then Bhe turned
away and then asked over her shoulder,
"What name shall I say?"
"Oh, she wouldn't know me Tell her
I have come from Miss Derevey1-
Maud was, In fact, at home. She had
not long returned from Richard's office.
She was harassed end anxious. They had
found no message from Martin awaiting
them, and on calling- at Eustace uereve's
offlee to inquire had been met with the
unsatisfying Intimation that Mr Dereve
was out and that no one could say
whether any news had been received from
Mr, Arrol or not.
Martin, she knew, waa well able to
take care of himself, as his brother did
not fall to remind her. Still, It was
strange this obstinate silence. She could
see that Richard, for all his nonchalance
and flippancy, was himself ill at ease

door. ''Say h- eons with a message

Police Court Chronicles
It pains Harry Crcsspcr when he dis
covers anybody who Is happy While he
was strolling through Falrmount Park
he found more than a dozen couples
whose laughter and smiles showed they
warn well satisfied with life. Most of
them sat on benches holdlnff hands, and
Cresspor took keen delight In letting
them see ho was looking. But ono
strenuous Bwaln ended tho laughter of
Cressper with a blow In the face.
Tho Inquisitive pessimist ran through
tho Park holding his Jaw. Ho was be
wailing his fato in loud tones when Park
Guard Grelgs hnppened alone. Cressper
declared ho had been attacked by four
men. A3 ho had no definite address ho
was taken to tho 33th street and Lancas
ter avenuo station. There ho admitted
that only ono man struck him, and, final
ly, that he was spying on Innocent lovers.
"You are not fit to be at large," said
Magistrate Boyle, "for you give people
In general a lot of unnecessary trouble."
"But I'll reform," suggested Cressper.
"I know you will," the Judge added,
"nnd I will start you In that direction
by giving you threo months In tho House
of Correction."
By EDMUND B. D'AUVERGNE
Author of "Her Husband's Widow," Etc.
bluntly. "Have you come to repeat your
threats?"
"No," he Bald, "I havo come to make
no threats, but to appeal to you on be
half of your mother. Your friend Martin
Arrol has been to America and has traced
the man to whom your father sold those
plans."
She looked at him amazed. "What
plana? I do not understand you."
"Your mother should have explained.
Sho told you she shot your father. That
was to shield your father In your esteem.
Admiral Plessey was killed while engaged
In treasonable intercourse with a foreign
Power. Arrol Is noyf In a position to
prove this and Is determined to do so
He naturally wishes to extricate himself
at all costs. Unless you wish to ruin
your mother and bring disgrace on your
father, you must get those plans out of
the custody of Eustace Dereve, Arrol's
partner."
It was an old gambler's last and des
perate throw for victory. Huron had de
cided on the spur of the moment to
change his tactics. Maud's flight had al
ready convinced him that sho would not
yield to threats nnd the blackmailer haa
this In common with certain noxious In
sects, that he perishes when he discharges
his venom. Arrol had found Dereve; De
reve had told all ho knew, and that
was far to much, to his brother; and
Maud, ho believed, was aware of Dereve's
connection with her father's death. Tho
game was now to pose as the girl's friend,
the disinterested champion of her mother
and father, to Inspire her with fenr and
distrust of her absent lover; and. If pos
sible, by her means to obtain possession
of those papers so that they might at
need be held as a threat over Sydney's
confused, .panic-troubled head.
As Maud from her great height looked
down at the man whom she had known
almost from Infancy, something of what
was passing in his mind revealed Itself
to her. She smiled disdainfully.
"My father's reputation and my
mother's life are safe in Mr. Arrol's
hands, she said. "I would sooner have
those plans, or whatever it is of which
you speak. In his hands than any one's."
70u aro mad'" mM "uron hoarsely.
These plans were stolen by a man who
Is sure to be accused of the crime as Boon
as they nre traced to him. All the facts
will then come out. Arrol already owes
your mother a grudge;, he will be filled
with contempt of your father when he
hears the truth, I crossed with him to
New York to safeguard the Interests ot
your family; he seemed to care for noth
ing but the vindication of his own char
acter. You could not expect otherwise.
Your Infatuation for the man blinds
you, Maud," he went on desperately
"You do not eee that vour int.r.e.. .i
his are necessarily directly opposed. That
is. of course, if you care at all about
the good name of your father and
mother."
