1 itli the thrill of that first kiss from
f'jpsy. Spike was so sorrowed for his
misdeeds that he told Gypsy that he
was not fit to touch her. not even the
hem of her garment. Rue she responded
with another kiss mid the assurance
that she now knows Spike loves' her
nnd sac loves Uplke.
The parting at the doorstep on that
midnight eve, as the ghost in night's
highway looked down, shedding silvery
Learns nf light upon them there, brought
ngnln into their hearts nnd souls the
voice of Good,
Hilly fighting jealousy, desperately
against the love of his brother nnd
the supreme love he hod for Gypsy,
returned moodily to his room to find
the thief stealing his savings secretly
lilddeu in the chimney chink.
A tight ensued and in the struggle
the thief was killed b) a bullet from
llllly's gun. It was nil so sudden that
it stopped the luartbeats of Hilly and
turned him into n hysterical creature.
Spike, filled with the only joy worth
having in this .vorld and bursting with
the thoughts of the gnat love that iiad
engulfed him, opened wide the door
oi the Druthers ipiurters, to be met uy
Hilly, weeping hysterically nnd sob
bing out, "I didn't ineun to do it,"
over the cold body of the thief.
Spike, ever being n man of quick win
nnd action, realized that he must pro
tect Hilly. He must work fast.
"Hilly, you get out." he commanded.
Hilly went, while Snlku calmly
awaited whoever may have heard the
commotion, the shots or any part of
the fracas. The neighbors came quickly.
Lalorers entered to question Spike.
The contrast of the clumsy drain-pipe
man to the accustomed coolness nf n
man like Spike meeting ns he did with
Scotland Ynrd, enslly gave Spike the
master hnnd in the tragic situntion.
When nsked "Who did it?" h coolly
remarked, ''I was the only one in this
room. Tills is my affair."
Noting the growing crowd of the
tenements "and fearing just then to be
taken, he nsked the drain -pipe man for
n match and, in the act of taking It,
knocked hlni down and leaped clear of

making his escape to his great friend,
the gambler, Swn) Wan.

The net would be let down to catch

through ills mind. He would surely
swing for this.
Hut, oh! how sweet it was to know
that he had won Gypsy! She would
stand by him when all else failed. AnJ
maybe there was n way ilt.
To the slant-oycd Oriental he cau
tiously told what must be done. First a
note was dispatched to Gypsy and the
bearer of It w-us Sway Wan, This wns

Then when she was by his side he would

As Gypsy left Spike In Sway Wan's

her Into his silken chamber. His heart

Sway Wan then turned his venom on

Gypsy saw the situation nt a glance.
For she was keen of mind too. With the

Sir Will you pler.se tell me something nbout the history of Carol Demp

GRIFFITH ADMIRER.
."010 ( hestmit street.
It was n bit of good luck loth for us. and for "Griffith Admirer" that, on
the very daj this letter was received, Carol Dempster wns In Philadelphia.
So we took our camera and Jlif letter up to the Hellenic-Stratford and. if
"Griffith Admirer" could hnve seen the look of genuine delight on the little
star's face as she realized that some one here wns so interested in her, there
would have been two people delighted no, three. We were the other one.
So Miss Dempster told us nil nbout
her little self so that we could tell her
other admirer.
In the tirst place, she wns nineteen
yenrs old n last December 0. That
inaljes her one of the joungest women
to nchlcve sudi a prominent place on
the scr"en.
She whs born In Duluth. Minn., her
father being a retired Great Lake cap
tain. Alsiut fifteen years ago the fam
ily moved to Los Angeles. Calif. Miss
Dempster lost 'icr mother nbout n year
ago. but her father is still alive. And,
by the way. Carol 4)empstcr is her real,
as well as her reel, mime. i
The future star went to school in Los
Angeles and then studied dancing with
Ruth St. Denis at Deulshawn. nenr Los
Angeles. One day while she wns tnklng
n lesson, imvld unmwi visum me
school. He was ttien producing "Intnl.

dancing gills.
Griffith saw Carol nnd offered her a
Job. but she wanted to finish her school
ing and declined it. The producer In
vltiil her and her mother to visit his
studio at any time and, with that, the
Incident wus forgotten and Carol went
back to senool.
On her grnduntlon she remembered
his offer und went to Ills studio. When
she reminded him of his visit to Denis
hawn, he nt once said that lie would
innke good his promise, und gave her a
parl--'Must a teeny little hit of a
part," ns she expresses it in "The
Romance of Happy Valley."
"Were wiu nervous the first time you
faced the "camera 7" "o iM'l ber.
She shiwrul Iu mock terror.
"Yes," she said, "nnd I still nm.
Sometimes I feel that I'm terribly self
conscious." Miss Dempster hns been with Griffith
ever since. She hns been fentured by
him in "The Girl Who Stnjed at

Thomas Burke Succumbs
to Lure of the Movies
Thomas Ilurke, one of the los, of the

on motion4 pictures, hap at last been
converted. The distinguished nutlior of
"Limehouse Nights' recently paid two
visits to the TnmotiM 'I'layerH-Lasky
llritlsh Producers studios nt Islington
near Iondon during the. filming of Don
ald Crisp's production of "The L'rlnccss
of New York." , , ,
Mr. Ilurke said he was deeply im
pressed by the technical resources, the
efficiency and tlip attention to detail at
these studios, nnd announced his inten
tion to collaborate In screen productions
from time to time.
After he-had seen "llrokcn lllo.i
so'ms," which wns based upon several
of his stories, he said lie was "amazed
that It was possible to give so truth
ful n-materlallzatlon to an author s
thoughts." Mr. Ilurke says that sce
nario writing requires too much tech
nical knowledge for the untrained man
to attempt It, so he will be content to
write stories for screen use nnd leave
the, adaptation to others.

r'Thc Kid? Hqs Not Made
$300,000 Vaudeville Con
tract, in Spite of Stories
Telegraphed From Chicago
It sure is wonderful how those press
ngents enn sit down nnd dream nnd
dream and then send out a story that
startles the world. Here, only a few
weeks ngo, there wns flashed from Chl
cngo a story nbout little Jackie Coogan
the tiny wonder who helped Charlie
Chaplin make "The Kid.
The story, .you will remember, said
that Jackie had been booked for n yenr
in vaudeville "and thnt his snlnry for
the fifty weeks would be $300,000.
It sounded sort of fishy to- us. So
we promptly x Kent word to one of our
New Y'ork correspondents and here is
whnt he writes uh :
"I took pnlns to get in touch with
one of the officlnls over nt the United
Hooking office (Keith's) who, I nm
sure, know a what he Is talking nbout
nnd who is n pcrsonnl friend of mine.
He vouchsafed me the following infor
mation: 'The real vaudeville" story as it
Stands nt present appears to lie merely
rumor. I am well advised thnt, so far
as the U. H. O. orthe Orpheum 'Cir
cuits arc concerned, there Is no definite
contract With Jackie Coogan nor did
mv Informant believe there hnd been
any general negotiations.
"Jackie's first Individual starring
picture is 'Peck's Had Hoy. At this
writing there Is no announcement thnt
