a perfectly nice soldier man and ho had
to leave you very soon, I bet you would
tiot be missing any chanco to let him

, away, tho lad with his arm still about
the lass's waist. It was too bad to dis

1ft a most romantic summer house, and,
yet, they would not stay and allow us
to make a graceful retreat.
OF INTEREST to this city and to Now
York is tho wedding of Nathalfo
Blthop, who came out hero last winter,
and Charlie Choate, a son of Mr. and
Jlrs. Charles P. Choate, Jr., of Boston,
and a nephew of tho late Joseph Choato.
The wedding Is to be a very quiet affair
owing to Mr. Choate's death and will
take place In Mount Klsco. N. Y in tho
Protestant Episcopal Church. There will
be a very small reception after the cere
mony at tho house of Mrs. Moses Taylor,
the bride's aunt and godmother, whoso
wedding veil Nathalie is to wear. Augusta
Bishop will bo her only attendant, and the
ushers have been chosen from Charlie's
classmates at Harvard.
Mr. James Bishop camo to Torrosdalo
from New York about a year ago and took
the house which has been built by
Mrs. Walter Massey. His three or four
I can't remember which attractive
daughters live with him thero and have
already made many friends in tho City
ef Brotherly Lovo. Nathalie is very
Pretty and attractive and Is bound to
make a lovely bride.
Charlie Is a member of the Second
Massachusetts Field Artillery, and served
at the border last summer, so it is not
unlikely that he will be called upon again
tto serve his country. Somehow it is o
'kit saddening to see all these happy
young things marrying theso days and
Vnow that they may so soon have to bo
eparated by war.

dogs break into view over tho crest ol ma

rilArTnil XIII (Continued)
DURING those thirty tweonds Thor
watched his enemies without moving,
white In his deep chest there gathered slowly
a low and terrible growl. Not until the pack
swept down Into the cup of the moun alns.
giving full tonguo again, did he continue his
retreat But It was not night. Ho was not
afraid. He was going on because to go
on was his business. He was not seeking
trouble; ho had no desire even to defend
his possesion of the meadow nnd the lit
tle lake under the mountain. There were
other meadows and other lakes, and he
was not naturally a lover of fighting. But
ho was ready to fight.
He continued to rumblo ominously, and
In him there was burning a slow and sullen
anger. Ho burled himself among the rocks :
he followed a ledge with Muskwa slinking
close at his heels : he climbed over a huge
scarp of rock and twisted among boulders
half as big as houses. But not once did he
eo where Muskwa could not easily follow.
Once, when he drew himself from a edge
?o a projecting seam of sandstone higher
in and found that Muskwa could not climb
It he came down and went another way
The baying of the dogs was now deep
down in the basin. Then It began to rise
swTftly. as If on wings, and Thor knew
that the pack was coming up the green
.Ude He stopped again, and this time
fhe wind brought their scent to him full
and strong,
It was a scent that tightened every mus
cle In his great body and set strange fires
burning In him like raging furnaces. With
the, doa-s came also tho man-sroeli i
lie traveled upward a little faster now,
and the fierce and Joyous yelping of the dogs
seemed scarcely a hundred yards away when
he entered a small open space In tho wild
upheaval of rock. On the mountain side
was a wall that rose perpendicularly
Twenty feet on the other sldo was a sheer
fall of a hundred feet, and the way ahead
was closed with the exception of a trail
oMreelv wider than Thor's body by a huge
crt-- of rock that had fallen from the
shoulder of the mountain. The big grizzly
led Muskwa close up to this crag and the
break that opened through It. and then
turned suddenly back, so that Muskwa wns
behind him. In the face of the peril that
was almost upon them a mother-bear would
have driven Muskwa Into the safety of a
crevice In the rock wall. Thor did not do
this He fronted the danger that was
coming, and reared himself up on his hind
qUTwent'y feet away the trail he had fol
lowed swung sharply around a projecting
bulge In the perpendicular wall, and with
eyes that were now red and terrible Thor
watched the trap he had set.
The pack was coming full tongue. Fifty
yards beyond the bulge the dogs were run
nine shoulder to shoulder, nnd a moment
later the firsts of them rushed Into the
arena which Thor had chosen for himself.
The bulk of the horde followed so closely
that the first dogs were flung under Dim
as they strove frantically to stop them
selves In time.
With a roar Thor launched himself among
them. His great right arm swept out and
Inward, and It seemed to Muskwa that he
had ga'hered half of the pack under his
huge t lv. 'With a single crunch of his
Jaws he broke the back of the foremost
hunter, From a second he tore the head so
that the windpipe trailed out like a red rope.
He rolled himself forward, and before
the remaining dogs could recover from their
panto he had caught one a blow that sent
him flying oyer the edge of the precipice
to the' rocks a hundred feet below. It had
Oopyrlitht. I.lfn Putillnhlnir
phenomena of arrested radiation upon
iiviiik is so cxpcnsivei
all happened In half a minute, and In that
half minute tne remaining nine dogs had
scattered.
Hut Langdon's Airedales were fighters.
To the last dog they had come of fighting
stock, nnd Uruce nnd Mctoosln had trained
them until they could be hung up by their
cars without whimpering, The tragic fate
of three of their number frightened them
no morn than their own pursuit had fright
ened Thor.
Swift ns lightning they circled nbout the
grizzly, spreading themselves on their fore
feet, ready to spring aside or backward to
avoid sudden rushes, nnd giving voice now
to that quick, fierce yapping which tells
hunters their quarry Is at bay. This was
their business to harass and torment, to
retard flight, to stop their prey again and
again until their masters camo to finish the
kill. It was a quite fair and thrilling Bport
for tho bear and the dogs. The man who
comes up with a rifle ends It In murder.
But If the dogs had their tricks, Thor nlso
had his. After three or four vain rushes.
In which tho Airedales eluded him by their
superior quickness, ho backed slowly toward
tho hugo rock beside which Muskwa was
crouching, nnd as he retreated the dogs
advanced.
Their Increased barking and Thor's evi
dent Inability to drive them away or tear
them to pieces terrified Muskwa more than
ever. Suddenly he turned tall and darted
Into a crevice In tho rock behind him.
Thor continued to back until his great
hips touched tho stono. Then ho swung his.
head sldewlso and looked for the cub, Not
a hair of Muskwa was to be seen. Twice
Thor turned his head. After that, seeing
that Muskwa was gono, he continued to re
treat until he blocked the narrow passage
that was his back door to safety.
The dogs were now barking like mad.
They were drooling nt their mouths, their
wiry crests Btood up like brushes, and their
snarling fangs were bared to their red gums.
Nearer and nearer they came to him,
challenging him to stay, to rush them, to
catch them If he could and In their excite
ment they put ten yards of open space be
hind them. Thor measured this space, as he
had measured the distance between him and
tho young bull caribou a few days before.
And then, without so much as a snarl or
warning, ho darted out upon his enemies
with a suddenness that sent them flying
wildly for their lives.
Thor did not stop. He kept on. Where
tho rock wall bulged out the trail narrowed
to five feet, and he had measured this fact
as well as the distance. He caught the last
dog, and drove It down under his paw. As
It was torn to pieces the Airedale emitted
piercing cries of agony that reached Bruce
and Langdon as tbey hurried panting and
wind-broken up the slide that led from the
basin.
Thor dropped on his belly In the narrowed
trail, and as the pack broke loose with
fresh voice he continued to tear at his
victim until the rock was smeared with
blood and hair and entrails. Then he rose
tn his feet and looked again for Muskwa.
The cub was curled up In a shivering ball
two feet In the crevice. It may be that Thor
thought ho had gone on up the mountain,
for he lost no time now In retreating from
the scene of battle. He had caught tho wind
ngaln. Bruce and Langdon were sweating,
and their smell came to him strongly.
For ten minutes Thor paid no attention
to the eight dogs yapping at his heels, ex
cept to pause now and then and swing his
head about. As he continued In his retreat
the Airedales became bolder, until finally
one of them sprang ahead of the rest and
burled his fangs In the grizzly's leg.
This accomplished what barking had
failed to do. With another roar Thor
turned and pursued the pack headlong for
fifty yards over the black trail, and five
precious minutes were lost before he con
tinued upward toward the shoulder of the
mountain.
Had the wind been In another direction
the pack would have triumphed, but each
time that Langdon and Bruce gained ground
the wind warned Thor by bringing to him
the warm odor of their bodies. And the
grizzly was careful to keep that wind from
the right quarter. He could have gained
the top of the mountain more easily and
quickly by quartering the face of It on a
back trail, but this would have thrown the.
wind too far under him. Aa long as ha held
the wind he. was safe, unless the hunters
made an effort to checkmate his method
ot escape by detourlng and cutting him off.
It took him halt an hour to reach the
topmost ridge ot rock, from which point he
would have to break cover and reveal him

self as he made tho last two or three hun
dred ynrds up tho shale side of the moun
tain to tho backbone of the range.
When Thor made this break he put on a
sudden spurt of speed that left the dogs
thirty or forty yards behind him.
For two or three minutes he was clearly
outlined on the face of the mountain, and
during tho Inst minute of those three he
wns splendidly profiled ngalrtst a carpet of
pure-white snow, without a shrub or a rock
to conceal him from the eyes below.
Druce nnd Langdon saw him at five nun
dred yards and began firing. Close over his
head Thor heard the curious ripping wall
of the first bullet, and an Instant later came
tho crack of the rifle.
A second shot sent up a spurt of snow
five yards ahead of him. He swung sharply
to the right. This put him broadside to the
marksmen. Thor heard a third shot and
that was all.
While the reports were still echoing
amon,K Jhe eraKS nnd P8" something
struck Thor a terrlfio blow on tho flat of
his skull, five Inches back of his right ear.
It was ns If a club had descended upon him
from out of the sky. Ho went down llko a
log.
It was a glancing shot It scarcely drew
blood, but for a moment It stunned the
grizzly, as a man Is dazed by a blow on
the end of the chin.
Before he could rise from where he had
fallen the dogs were upon him. tearing at
his throat and neck and body. With a roar
Thor sprang to his feet and shook them off.
He struck out savagely, and Langdon and
Bruce could hear his bellowing aa they
stood with fingers on the triggers of their
rifles waiting for the dogs to draw away
far enough to give them the final shots.
Yard by yard Thor worked his way up
ward, snarllrig at the frantic pack, defying
the man-smell, the strange thunder, the
burning lightning even death itself, and
fivo hundred yards below Langdon cursed
despairingly aa the dogs hung so close he
could not fire.
Up to the very skyline the blood-thirst-Ing
pack shielded Thor. He disappeared
over the summit. The dogs followed. And
nfter that their baying enme fainter and
fainter as the grizzly led them swiftly away
from the menace of, man In a long nnd
thrilling race from which more than one
was doomed not to return.

IN HIS hiding place Muskawa heard the
last sounds of the battle on the ledge.
The crevice was a V-shaped crack In the
rock, and he had wedged himself as far
back In this as he could. .He saw Thor
pass the opening of his refuge after he
had killed the fourth dog; he heard the
click, click, click ot his claws as he re
treated up the trail; and at last he knew
that the grizzly was gone and that the
enemy had followed him.

WE APPEAL
to the Citizens of the
State of
Pennsylvania
The censorship of motion pictures aa
it is conducted in Pennsylvania is an
extreme hardship. Together with sorts)
of the good this hns done, it HAS
RUINED THOUSANDS AND THOU
SANDS OF DOLLARS' WORTH OP
PHOTO-DRAMATIC PRODUCTIONS,
The Pennsylvania State Board of Cen
sors hove chanced story nfter story to
suit their own ideas, regardless of th
scenario writer or tho producer.
We fjive to the people of Pennsyl

AT A NOMINAL ADMISSION.
Wo want this amusement to bo
clean nnd interesting
To placo
MAItKETab, t&TH
os a criterion as to the character of
photo-plays wo desire to show leav
ing it to tho judgment of our numer
ous patrons whether we would ex
hibit anything that was not proper-
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE1
STATE BOARD OF CENSORS
PASSED IT OR NOT.
Wo have pleaded with the Governor
of tho Stato of Pennsylvania to see
that tho motion picture interests set
fnir play and most of our letters re
main unanswered, nnd if anything con
ditions have rrrown worse.
Tho picture

wonderful drnmatic production and
moral lesson, which ran in stage play in
New York for ono year and In thl
city for two months, will now bo en
joyed by the public for an admission
of 10c, 15c, 25c and 35c.
