Look"
He switched on an electric light
upon the wall behind him, and for the
first time | saw clearly the face of
the great English hero. There were
the irregular, thin, homely features,
lit by a flame of patriotic enthusiasm
Yet, admirably as the artist had
caught the inspiration of the painting
from which he modelled it, there seem
ed TO be something more, some hardly
defined vein of cruelty, of caprice, that
actually gave the face the property
of seeming to reflect a certain change
Of emotions, an instability of mind as
though the thing possessed some con
scious life. And the skin-surely that
was the skin Of a man, with the blood
mantling in the flesh beneath Du-

you've given him a body and he's
getting your reason, my friend" said
Brodsky, somewhat shaken by this un-
expected outburst
Come away, come away, gentle
men," cried the Frenchman, pulling
us by the arms. Hes mad, God help
him. l should have told you he'd
been acting queer, but last night,
when he laughed at me so much,
thought that it was only overwork
He's as mad as LOOM
We did not need to be urged, nor
was there necessity of excuses. Mar
gotson had already forgotten us and
was standing before the statue alter
nately capering and grimacing.
Now, I'll give you my advice and
shortly, and you can follow 1t or not
at your peril" said Brodsky. Get
your employer home in safety and
then slip back and chop the thing to
pieces before a tragedy supervenes.
No, that's all I've got to say to you
except just this: Give up your trade
and learn something that won't bring
you into conflict with all these vital
forces that hang round such places"
And with these words he fairly
hurled himself out of the place, leav-
ing me to follow him as best could.
/ think | mentioned once how sen.
sitive the doctor always was to the
morbid things of life. Perhaps it was
certain sensibility to those invisible
influences which accompany moods and
invest those places where any violent
emotions have been at play. At any
rate, having seen so much of the dark
er side of life, Brodsky was strenu-
ously insistent upon cleanliness and
wholesomeness.

tically switched on an electric light.
Then | perceived Margotson. his face
afiame like a madman's, thrusting at
Brodsky's with the admirals sword
while the doctor parried hia with
admirable grace and ease. Dupuy
came running up to me.
He rushed at me-" he cried" with
his sword drawn, and DR.. Brodsky
snatched sword from Paul Jones re-
plica and met him. Look! The doc
tor wins!"
Like every Polish gentleman, Brod
sky was an adept with the foiIs Ger
tainly a clumsy mechanic such as
Margotson could not have expected TO
overcome him. Yet, as | watched the
tense interchange of sword play | was
amazed at the skill shown by Margot-
son. 1t seemed as though the courage
and prowess of the great admiral had
descended upon him. Twice he
lunged so fiercely that the point
grazed Brodsky's arm; then, with a
sudden twist, he sent the weapon fly
ing from the doctors hand, and
rushed-not at him, but straight to-
ward Dupuy. So swift was the i'm
petus, he was upon us before we could
stir. And then, just as the blade
seemed about to pierce the French
mans heart, something came futter-
ing downward over his head and the
sword fell from Margotson's hand
and he stood still, his eyes fixed up
on vacancy, his body immobile, while
Dupuy released himself from the
folds of the union jack that Brodsky
had so admirably thrown over him.
"And-you think I can go back to
my job?" asked Dupuy the next morn
ing.
by all means" answered the doc
tor. "Margotson will remember moth
ing whatever of his insanity. So you'd
better hurry up, or he will want to
know why you are late. You need
not fear the statue 1t will have re-
sumed it's natural aspect, and, in case
any remnants of it's power remain,

can, try to get another occupation"
ut was a desperate chance" con-
fided Brodsky to me afterward. Still,
one can deal with these elemental
forces much as with lunatics; the
mad impulse of national hatred was
shattered instantly when it perceived
the flag of it's country. When Margot.

"Pshaw!" muttered the doctor.

But the proprietor seemed still more
confused than his assistant. He came
forward sheepishly. and mask
seemed to have descended upon his
blank face and blotted out some curl
Gus emotions which had thought that

'Mr. Margotson-these are two gen.

stammered

This rage appeared so abnormal
that my medical training induced me
TO examine Margotson from the patho-
logical standpoint. But Brodsky look
ed into his face steadily and laid his
hand upon his shoulder. Margotson's S
anger seemed suddenly to evaporate
They're only interested in the
statues turning into flesh and blood,
sir" said the Frenchman.
Unluckily these words brought
about a return of Margotson's frenzy.
"Flesh and blood? Rubbish" he
shouted. "Arrant nonsense, that's
what you're talking, Dupuy. What's
the matter with the statue? It's a
very good statue, one of the best
you've made. It's new wax-green

MOVING PICTURES ARE WHOLE
SOME.

We read of man in New York city,
| on the East Side, who was so infu-
enced by moving pictures showing
bank robheries and other crimes that
he tried to tunnel under great bank
building, and ignorant of the elements
of such criminal work, failed to "shore
up his tunnel top, which crumbled
down upon him, and smothered out his
life. He leaves a widow and six chill
dren behind to weep for a foolish faith
err, painter who abandoned substance
to chase shadow. But just because
this mentally unbalanced man was
badly Influenced by the "bloodand-
thunder" pictures of New York's East
Side, we have no right to attack the
moving picture theatre as an institu-
zion, this form of amusement which is
a means of recreation, mas come to
stay. Much may be said against the
penny dreadful" type of picture, how
ever, and not until the moving picture
managers realize the tremendous in
jury that they are doing ignorant peo-
pie by feeding starved intellects with
such refuse and substitute more whole
some matter, will the moving picture
theatres be relieved of a stain upon
their regulations.
1t must be said that Brunswick is
fortunate in her moving picture the
aires, for it is rare thing that the
managers allow questionable or too
trashy "eye dramas" to pass their in
spection. The taste of the Brunswick
public is for scenes of travel, for fairy
tales in pictures, for reproductions CT
the classic drama, and new" pictures.
OF course, the funny picture, the farce
stuff, has a big following and it can
not be denied that the hearty laugh
ter invoked by this class of subjects is
altogether wholesome.
Pictures that show and suggest rob
berry and other crimes, malicious mis-
chief, or too practical jokes, may or
may not work harmfully upon the inn
agination of spectators. The unfortu-
nate part of their mischief is due to
the inability of q certain number OF
people to the thousand to take the pic
lures merely as amusement and not
too seriously But there is no doubt
of the immense publicity power of the
moving picture, with a film travelling
the country over and being viewed by
thousands upon thousands. One faint
ed film may do incalculahle mischief.
On the other hand, great good can be
accomplished through the medium OF
the moving picture, and 50 like fire
the picture drama" is a blessing to
mankind as a servant; that is, good
servant,
The moving picture is great edu-
Gator and the cheapest and most
wholesome amusement invention OF
the age.

ONE WASTE UNDER PROTECTION

The wastefulness of taxes collected
from the people is not one Of the least
vicious features of protection.
American customs duties have nee
essitated a gigantic army of officials,
have increased the price of everything,
and have added enormously to the ex-
penses of the government. And the
worst Of it is only a small portion Of
these duties, which are paid by the
American consumer in the increased
price of their necessities of life, flows
into the treasury.
A hint as to the wastefulness of the
present system of collecting import
and tonnage duties, is contained in
the report of the secretary of the
treasury, recently issued
The country is divided into 100 dis
tricts and ports for the collection Of
duties. OF these the expenses in forty
are greater than the receipts, the cost
of collection ranging, for every dollar
collected, from $3.50 to $30941.
In the Alexandria, Va, district, the
government spent $f,224 to collect $40.
In the Annapolis. Md, district it
cost $3.50 to collect $500.
In the Crisfeld, Md, district it cost
$32S6 to collect sos.
In the Portsmouth, N. H, district, it
cost $8.572 to collect $221.65.
In the St. Marys, Ca, district 1t cost
$69S to collect S15.25. This port
is lceaeca within q few miles Of
Brunswick in Camden county, and the
figures will therefore be of special in
terest.
In the Goes Bay, Ore, district, it
cost s1,464 to collect $79S1.
The average cost Of the government
for collecting its customs and tonnage
duties in sixteen districts was a little
more than $23 for every dollar collect
ed. And this report is not as bad as
last years, which showed that in one
instance the government paid two men
81 100 to collect 80 cents!
