Suddenly an Inspiration came to him.
"This la purely a matter to bo settled

was stopped, by the low voice of the girl
behind him.
"Larry," sho said, "I know everything

the wrong you havo done mo nnd my father.
You can never marry me. I give you my

It that Is the only way to thwart your plana
In that direction ; and so, as tho fortune can

next belt thing would be to try to save me
from the terrible predicament In which
your oupldlty has placed me. Tou can make
the start now, Larry, by walking over and
placing yourself at Mr. Therlero's disposal.
Ho has promised to help and protect me."
A deep flush 'mounted to the man neck
and face. lie did not turn to faoa the girl
ho had so grievously wronged for tho llfo
of him ho could not havo met her eyes.
Slowly ho turned nnd, with gaxe bent Upon
tho ground, walked toward Therlere.
Ward was quick to rccognlso the turn
events had taken and to see that It gave
Therlere tho balance of power, with two
guns and nlno men In his party against
their two guns and seven men.
It also was evident to him that to tho
other party the girl would naturally gravi
tate, slnco Divine, an old acquaintance, had
cast hl3 lot with It) nor had the growing
Intimacy between Miss Harding and The
rloro been lost upon him.
Ward knew that Slmms was an nrrant
coward, nor wan ho himself overly keen for
an upstanding, man-to-man encounter such
as must quickly follow any attempt upon
his part to uphold tho authority of Slmms
or their claim upon the custody of the girl.
Intrigue and trickery wero more to Mr,
Ward's liking, nnd bo he was quick to alter
his plan of campaign tha Instant that It
bocamo evident that Dtvlno had elected to
Join forces with tho opposing faction.
"I reckon," ho said, dlrocttng his remarks
toward no ono In particular, "that we've
all been rather hasty In this matter, beln'
het up as wo wore with tho strain of what
wo been through, an' so It seems to mo,
takln' Into consideration that Mr. Therlere
really done his best to sava tho ship, an'
that as a matter of fact wo was all mighty
lucky to como out of It altvo, that we'd
better let bygones bo bygones for tho ttmo
beln', at least an' nil of us pitch In to save
what wo can from tho wreckage hunt water,
rig up a camp an' get things sort o' ship
shapo horo, Instld o' squabblln' among our
solvos." "Suit yourself," Bald Thorlers, "It's all
the samo to us, and his uso of tho objective
pronoun seemed definitely to establish tho
oxlstonco of bin faction as a separata and
dlBtlnct party.
Slmms, from years of experlonco with
hla astute mate, was wont tg ncquloBce in
anything that Ward proposed, though ho
had not tho brains always to appreciate the
purposes that prompted Ward's suggestions.
Now, therefore, ho nodded his approval of
Squint Eye's proposal, feeling that what
ever was In Ward's mind would bo mora
likely to work out to Skipper Slmm's Inter
ests than some unadvised act of Sklppor
Slmms himself.
"Supposln'," continued Ward, "that wo let
two o' your men an' two o' ourn under Mr.
Dlvlno shin up them cliffs back o' tho cove
an" search for water an a Blto fer camp

"Good I" agreed Therlero. "Miller, you

Ward detailed two of his men and tha
party of flvo began the dlfllcult ascent of

At the nearer approach of the party to
tho cliff-top the watcher turned nnd melted
Into the forest at his back.
He was Oda Torlmoto, descendant of n
powerful Dalmlo of the Ashlkaga dynasty
of shoguns, who had fled Japan with his
faithful Samurai nearly three hundred and
fifty years before upon tho overthrow of
the Ashlkaga dynasty.
Upon this unfrequented hnd distant Japa
nese lslo the exiles had retained all of their
medieval military savagery, to which had
been added the aboriginal ferocity of the
head-hunting natives they had found there,
nnd with whom they had Intermarried, The
iltlio colony, far rrom maKing any aa
vances In arts or letters, had, on the con
trary, relapsed Into primeval Ignoranco as
deep as that of the natives with whom they
had cast their lot. Only In tholr arms and
nrmor, their military training and discipline
did they show any of tho Influenco of tholr
civilized progenitors.
They were cruil, crafty, resourceful wild
men, tricked out In tho habiliments of a
dead post and armed with the keen weapons
of their forebears. They had not even tho
crude religion of the Malaysians they had
absorbed, unless a highly exaggerated pro
pensity for head-hunting might bo dignified
by tho name of religion.

the beach. Thero wcro casks of fresh water,
kegs of biscuit, clothing, tinned meats nnd
n similar heterogeneous mass of flotsam,
This arduous labor consumed tho best
part of tho afternoon, and It was not until
It had been completed that Dlvlno and his

They reported that they had discovered

STORIES OF CLOUDLAND
How Zu Zu Put the Moon to Sleep By
Farmer Smith
Zu Zu, tho naughty page boy of Prince
Marmolade, who stolo the Sand Man's pall
of sand and put" tho Moon to sleep, greeted
Little Tulip Heart when she nwoko In her
little gold bed nnd saw him smiling at her
from tho bed knob.
Tho naughty page was still Imprisoned
In the bed knob and could only talk to Lit
tle Tulip Heart beforo her nurse, nn.ir
GrufT, came In to dress her. Gruff Oruff
was the oldest nurse In the palace of Cloud
land. She had beon nurse for Prince Mar
molade's grandmother and was so old she
remembered when the Moon was only n
uiue Doy star in tho star garden of Cloud
land. o
"Good morning, Little Tulip Heart," Bald
Zu Zu; "do you want me to tell you this
morning about how I took tho Sand Man's
pall of sand away and put the Moon to
sleep?"
Tulip Heart sat ' up and clapped her
hands.
"Oh, do tell me," she cried, "and I will
ask Prince Marmolade to let you out or
the bed post."
"You mustn't aslc the Prlnco that," said
Zu Zu. "In Cloudland a boy must tnko his
punishment like a little major. We must
never ask to get out of punishment until
it Is finished."
"But Isnt Iti awful to be turnea Into a
bed knob?" asked Tulip Heart.
"It makes you stiff." said Zu Zu, "but it
doesn't hurt. Of course, I can't play In
the star garden, but then I had such fun
with the Sand Man I don't mind. I will tell
you about It now, for Gruff Gruff will be
hero in Ave minutes."
'All right." cried Tulip Heart. "Hurry
up and tell me all about it before Gruff
Gruff gets here."
"I don't believe I told you what we
really call the Sand Man up here In Cloud
land, did I?"
"No, you didn't," said Tulip Heart.
"Well." said Zu Zu. "It's an awful funny
name. We call him Dopy Down Dllly, He
really is a cousin, you know, of Daffy
Down Dllly."

darkness had scarce fallen ere the entire
camp seemed wrapped In slumber. And
still Oda Yorlmoto sat with his Samurai
upon the cliff's summit, with beady eyes
fixed upon his Intended proy.
For an hour he eat thus In Bllence,
until, nssurcd that all were Msleep below
him, ho arose nnd with a few whispered
Instructions commenced the descent of the
cliff toward tho covo below. Hardly had
he started, howover, with his men string
ing In single fllo behind him, than ho camo
to a sudden halt, for below him In the camp
that lay between the girl'B shelter and the
westerly camp a flguro had arisen stealth
ily from among Its follows.
It was Therlere, Cautiously he moved to
a sleeper nearby, whom ho shook gently
until ho had awakened him.
"Hush, Byrne!" cautioned the French
man. "It Is I, Therlero. Holp mo awaken
the others seo that thero Is no noise."
"What's doln'?" queried the mucker.
"Wo shall break camp and occupy the
new location beforo those otherB awake,"
whispered Therloro In reply, "nnd" lie
added, "wo shall tako tho salvago and, tho
girl with us."
Tho mucker grinned.
"Gool" he said. "Won't they bo a sore
bunch In do mornln7"
Tho wbrk of awakening the remainder of
tho party required but a few minutes and,
when tho plan was explained to them, alt
seemed delighted with tho prospect of dls
comlltlng Skipper Slmms and Squlnt-nye.
It was decided that only, tho eatables be
carried away on tho first trip, nnd that If
a second trip was possible, beforo dawn the
clothing, canvas and cordngo thnt hnd been
taken from tho water might then bo pur
loined, Miller nnd Swenson wcro detntled to
bring up tho roar with Miss Harding, as
sisting her up tho steep Bldo of tho cliff.
Dlvlno was to act as guldo to tho new
camp, whllo Therlere took general com
mand of tho llttlo column, lending a hand
wherever necessary In tho scaling of tho
heights with tho loot.
Cautiously tho party, with tho exception
of Divine, Miller nnd Swenson, crept to
wnrd the llttlo pllo of supplies that were
henped 60 or 60 feet from tho sleeping
mombors of Slmms' faction. Tho throe left
behind walked laisllenco to Barbara Hard
ing's shelter.
Here Dlvlno scratched at tho piece of
sailcloth which served aB a door until ho
had succeeded In awakening the sleeper
within. And from above Oda Yorlmoto
watched tho activity in the llttlo covo with
Interest and unwavering eyes.
Tim elrl. roused from a fltful slumber,
camo to tho doorway of her prlmltlvo abode,
alarmed by this nocturnal BUmmons.
"It Is I, Larry," whispered tho man.
"Aro you dressed?"
"Yes," replied tho girl. Btcpplng out Into
tho moonlight "What do you want? What
has happened?"
"Wo aro going to tako you away from
Slmms Therloro nnd I," replied tho man.
"and establish a safo camp of our own
where they cannot molest you. Therlero
nnd tho others havo gono for tho supplies
now, and ns soon as they return we shall
commenco tho ascent of tho cliffs. If you
havo any further preparations to make,
Barbara, pleaso mako haste, as wo must
got nway from hero as quickly as possible.
Should any of Slmms' neoplo wako up
thore Is suro to be a flght."
Tho girl turned back Into tho Bliclter
to gather togother a handful ot wraps
that had been saved from tho wreck.
Down by tho salvnico, Therlero, Byrno,
Bony Sawyer, Bed SMidcrs, Blanco and
Wilson wero selecting tho goods that they
wished to carry with them. It was found
that two trips would bo necessary to carry
off the bulk of rations, bo Therlere Bent
the mucker to summon Miller and Swenson.
"Wo'll carry nil that eight of us can
to the top of the cliffs," ho Bald: "hide
It thero and then como back for the
remainder. Wo may be able to get it later
If we aro unablo to mako two trips to
the camp tonight."
While they were waiting for Byrno to
return with the two recrulta one of tha
sleepers In Slmms' camp stirred.
Instantly tho flvo marauders dropped
stealthily to the ground behind tho boxes
and casks. Only Therlere kept his eyes
above the lovet of the top of their shoulder
bo that he might watch the movements
of the enemy.
The figure sat up ana iuokcu uuuuu
was Ward.
Slowly he arose nnd approached the
pile of salvage. Therlero drew his revolver,
holding It In readiness for an emergency.
ci,,,i,i ihn first mate look In the direction
Q4
if)
M
of Barbara Harding's shelter he must
certainly Bee the four figures waiting there
In the moonlight. ...,..,.
Therlero turned his own head in tho
direction of the shelter to learn how
plainly the men thero were visible. To
his delight no ono was In sight. Either
they had seen Ward, or for tbe sake
of greater safety from dotectlon had moved
to the opposite side of tho Bhelter.
Ward was quite close to the boxes,
upon the other side of which crouched
tho night-raiders. Therlore'a finger found
tho trigger ot his revolver. He was
convinced that the mate had been dls
turbed by tho movement In camp, and
wub investigating.
Ward stopped at one of the water-casks.
He tipped It up, filling a tin cup with
water, took a long drink, set the cup back
on the top of the cask, and, turning,
retraced his steps to his blanket
Therlero could have hugged himself.
The man had suspected nothlngl He had
nvfely been thlrBty and come over for
a drink In another moment he would
be fast asleep once more.
Suro enough, before Byrne returned
with Miller and Swenson, Therlere could
hear the snores of tho first mate.
On the first trip to the cliff-top eight
men carried heavy burdens, Divine alone
remaining to guard Barbara Harding.
The second trip was made with equal
dispatch and safety. No sound or move
ment came from the camp of the enemy
other than that of the sleeping men.
On the second trip Divine and Therlere
each carried a burden up the cliffs, Miller
and Swenson following with Barbara Hard
lug, and as they came Oda Yorlmoto and his
Samurai slunk back Into the shadows, that
their prey might pass unobserved.
Therlere had tha bulk ot the loot hidden
In a rocky crevice Just beyond the cliff's
summit Brush torn from the mass ot
luxuriant tropical vegetation that covered
the ground was strewn oyer the cache.
The march toward the new camp, under
the guidance of Divine, was immediately
undertaken. On the return trip after the
search for water Divine had discovered
a well-marked trail along the edge pf
the cliffs to a point opposite the spring, and
another leading from the r alu trail directly
to tho water.
In his Ignorance he had thought these
the runways of animals, whereas they were
the age-old highways of head-hunters.
Now they presented a comparatively
quick and easy approach to the destination
of the mutineers, but so narrow a one as
to convince Therlere soon that it was not
feasible for him to move back and forth
along tho flank of his .column!
He tried It once, but it so greatly incon
venienced and retarded the heavily laden
men that he abandoned the effort, remain
ing near the center of the cavalcade until
the new camp was reached.

Prominent among the newcomers was
Miss Adele Hassan, a Philadelphia girl and
lately of 'The Only Girl" company. In which
she played a prominent part She was ap

suddenly her namo teased to appear In local
productions nnd was transplanted to a
prominent spot In "The Only Girl" cast last
year.
It Is little wonder that Bhe Jumped Into
fame overnight. In addition to possessing
a voice of remarkable sweetness, this little
star Is tho embodiment of grace. She
seems to put her heart In her songs nnd one
can readily boo that sincerity actuates her
evory move. Her vocal teacher was Miss
Phillips Jenkins, of this city. Miss Hassun
sang the romanza from "Cavallerla Ilustl

Her numbers proved an excellent contrast
with tho moro popular offerings of the

plause And Bobby Heath was there. Ho was n
little more serious than whon wo saw him
before, but was glvon n warm welcome,
nevertheless, Ho offered among other
things "Just Ono Day," a Bong with a
pretty melody and story, telling of the
j earning of a lover to havo Just ono day
with the maid of his heart Bobby snng
tho ballad as If ho really meant It That
tho nudlcnco approved both tho singer nnd
tho sentiment was shown by the hearty
applause which followed. AI White, to
whom most credit Is duo for tho artistic
numbertt of this novel summer show, ap
peared with Miss Frances In n very pictur
esque Hawaiian dance. It tells tho story of
a native, who after winning the heart of a
Hawaiian maiden, returns to claim her.
Sho Is loath to part with the Bcencs and
customs of her nattvo country. Finally,
howover, It dawns upon her that sho prom
ised to wed tho lover who now seeks her
hand and ho carries hor off triumphantly.
Tho nudlcnco showed cordial appreciation.
Harry Fern, Keller Mack and Pass Jones
dashed off n pretty Hawaiian ditty to The
accompaniment of ukcleles, and also had a
prominent part In tho complications.
Tho two Doolcys, William and John, aug
mented by two moro Dooleys, Bay and
Gordon, cut up capers throughout with
laughablo results.
Llttlo Sara Kcndlg, tho youngest of alt
tho "Maids In Phllly," put over a snappy
song with tho vigor of a voteran, despite
tho fact that Bho Is only S yearB old.
Madalon Lear, Claronco Marks, El Brcn
del and others wero also conspicuously In
tho running.
And, beforo wo forget, let It bo recorded
right here that Andrew Byrno, Jr., cornered
the npplauso of tho show with several de
cidedly artistic violin solos. The fact that
ho did this while lending tho Kolth Orches
tra for tho entire Bhow is all tho moro to
his credit
Incidentally, "Mndo In Phllly" holds tho
record for tho longest vaudevlllo run In this
city. Tha nearest approach to this was
made, If wo are not mistaken, by the lato
Honey Boy Evans, who played three suc
censlvo weeks singly at tho Chestnut street
houee. Tho marking of this now era
Is due to tho Initiatives of Harry T.
Jordan. Tho bill also Included the Sixteen
Nnvassar Girls, Adler and Arllnc, Heldlnoff,
tho smoko artist; Melissa Ten Eyck and
Max Welly, In thrilling dances; Cooper and
Smith. There was plenty of exciting news
In tha pictures. J. G. C.
Jim Harkins Nixon Grand

Harklns. who supply much of comody on
tho bill at tho Nixon Grand. Their comedy
Is spontaneous, and notion continues rapidly
throughout tholr entlro act.
Other acts on tho bill wcro WalBh, Lynch
and company, tho Stanley Trio, Katie
Rooncy nnd company and Damoro and
Douglass.
The Drcnm Pirates Globe
Tho "Dream Pirates" hold full Bway and
a top-lino position In the vaudevlllo pro
gram at the Globe Theatre. Sam Renn
appeared as tho chief funmaker and rocked
the house with laughter, as did several
others Id the cast.
When It comes to talking, Thomas Potter
Dunn, the story teller nnd mimic, makes a
decided hit Othera In tho bill were the
Tiller Slaters, Spencer and Klalss. Helena
nnd Emllon, Dave Roos and company, the
I'arlows and tho Threo Arthurs.
Models Cross Keys
Luclllo's Modols proved a popular num
ber In tho bill at tho Cross Keys Thcutre.

"human statuary."
uthers on the bill wero Tony Marlowe,
Eva Putler, Nolan and Nolan. The head
liners for tho last three days will be Healey,

De Wolf Hopper in "Stranded,
at Arcadia Rita Jollvet t
Stanley
By the Photoplay EtHtwr
It would far from true to Bay that
Ingle "leader'' makes "Stranded." the now
Griffith-Triangle film at the Arcadia, But
nt leaat this homely, nlmpls and skilfully
told tale of an old actor, "who fathers
little trapeze artist and marries her oft hap
pily at the price of his own life. Is irtven a.
curious sense of Impresslreness by 11 TrordS
flashed on tho screen as the old marl sees
tho girl married, and then sinks lifeless to
the floor, a bullet In his breasts "This has
been the greatest role that t have ever
played." It Is Just one more sample of
the mlnuto and thorough artistry which
Boes Into Griffith products.,
"Stranded" Is, delightfully acted by ft Ion
cast that keeps close to reality at evory
Instant. Frank Dennett and Carl Stookdale
contribute excellent "bits." Bessie Lore
shines once more as tho most charming; dis
covery of the films In the last two years.
As for De Wolf Hopper, who plays tho
ancient tragedian, he Is both good and bad,
delightful and disappointing. He catches
the airs of tho "Shakespearean" with a
great deal of unction. He plays the sen
sational passages with rare discretion. But
every now and then he lays on hard with
the exaggeration that Is all right In musical
comedy, but unbearable on the screen. Yet,
nil In all, it Is a, commendable performance,
added to a more than commendable film,
"Leaders" also make "An International
Marriage," the new Moroscc-Faramount
film at tho Stanley. But they make alto
gether too much of It "An International
Marriage" Is about SO 44100 pure leader.
At n guess and wltl. all allowances for a
poor memory, thero Is svbotit one real mov
ing picture Incident, ono turn ot the plot
which Is Bclf-oxprcsslve and needs no ex
planatory caption.
Of course, tho obvious answer Is that
George Broadhurst's Btory Isn't a photoplay
story. It worries over a young American
woman who makes n. pretty bad choice of
n foreign nobleman for a husband. Tho
difficulties she has over him and his mor
ganatic wife ultimately land her In tho place
she was obviously Intended for to start
with, tho arms of a young American Con
gressman., But, with her trivial nature
and tho general uselessnesa ot her associa
tions, the story really Isn't exciting enough
to keep us caring an ounce how things
come out
Some good acting Is spent over "An Inter
national Marriage." Illta Jollvet Maro
Bobbins, Elliott Dexter, Courtony Footcand
Herbert Standing supply It Ono or two peo-"
pie supply the other kind.
This week tho Palace has a good set of
Paramount "repeats." Today and tomor
row, "The World's Great Snare," with 'Paul
ine Frederick, a Famous Players produc
tion ; tho last half of tho week, "Tho Amer
ican Beauty," with Myrtle Stedman, a Pal

more, a Metro production. Friday and
Saturday shall see "The Itlver'of Romance,"
