u setting, this little drama
The man seized the girl BY the wrist
'1Answer me now" he said. will you
marry me to-day, OF will you not 4
9aye, you one more chapce # you
will not marry me, at least you viii
marry no one else" A look of mad
ness came into his eyes and to Pom
dexter's horror he drew out a revolt
yer. He could hear the click as the
villain cooked it. ~
Without waiting for any more de-
velopments of the melodrama, Poin-
dexter bounded to his feet, "leaped
down the bank, stumbling over rocks,
crashing through bushes, and precipi-
tated his ITS pounds of hard-trained
muscle on the man, who, taken un-
awares, fell like shot in the path.
Then, with savage thirst for blood,
Poindexter proceeded to pummel the
villain vigorously, after wrenching
away the revolver and throwing it into
the bushes, where it went of harm
lessly. He heard the girl shrek wild
ly, but obliviOus to everything but
the desire to punish the man he was
unconscious Of the entrance of any
other actors on the scene until he was
suddenly, forcibly, but with great Diff
hculty, pulled from his victim. ~...
When he staggered to his feet and
looked about him, he wondered II he
were in q nightmare. A stout the
atrical-looking man was dancing up
and down with rage, the rescued lady
was wringing her hands and 1t the
same time laughing HISTORICALLY, and q
little German supporting a large cam
era on . tripod with one hand was
shaking his fist In Poindexter's face,
while two men were holding his arms
50 tightly behind his back that he
could hardly endure the pain. >s
The villain of the drama slowly
rose to his feet, disclosing a >ghastly
bruised and bleeding countenance.
There, you meddling fool!" the
stout person sputtered. you see what
you've done! You've ruined the Aim
and spoiled Judson's faces so he won't
be able to go on again for weeks. I'll
have you arrested. I'll have you ar-
rested at once, sir"
Poindexter, dazed and feeling as If
he were awaking from a dream, gazed
blankly from him to the beautiful lady.
At his look of dumb appeal she ceased
to wiring her hands and began to wipe
away genuine tears.
"Oh, he thinks it's all real" she
gasped hysterically. "He thinks it's
all real" Then she dropped a little
curtsy, one hand on her heart, her
face wreathed in smiles. my dear
pugnacious young man." she said, you
have seriously interfered with the pho
tographing Of the moving-picture
drama, "The Revenge of the Rejected
Lover suppose you have spoiled
about q thousand films, as it seems
that Mr.. Gravestein kept on automat-
ically swapping you during your very
dramatic performance. You do not,
apparently, know the ropes, 80 will
explain to you that he and l." nodding
toward the villain, belong to a stock
company that spends all it's time DO
sing for moving-picture plays. ! am
Antoinnette Dubois. You may have
heard of me-"
And then Poindexter knew why her
face had been so familiar. He had
seen her play score of times in pop
ular plays on the legitimate stage.
The stout manager, however, was
not to be appeased. He had not yet
recovered from his rage, his color
was still alarmingly brilliant and he
was beating impatiently on the ground
with his stick.
"But-but," he sputtered, "you have
ruined the film and it costs money
a moving-picture film. You have
spoiled our whole mornings work"
"Mr. Cavendish,' the little German
photographer deposited his camera in
a safe place and came forward rub
bling his hands and beaming at his in
SEPARATION. "Mr. Cavendish, w not
change de name of de biece-call it
the Rescue of Injured Innocence, or
somedings of dat nature. You can al
ways get beable to pose for your
Jealous Lover, Mr.. Cavendish, but
meier will you get ANGLING so realistic
again as this scene Ach, it was
beautiful to see the so strong young
man come leabing down de rocks and
fall upon de villain. It will take with
de beoble, Mr.. Cavendish, and you
will hat money in your pocket"
And this was the way that that ex-
ceedingly popular moving picture film,
"The Rescue of Injured Innocence"
had it's origin. And, incidentally, it is
the way Antoinette Dubois happened
to change her name to Poindexter and
leave the stage. g.. ~@ >.--ss....
