A pun Of wind had caught the top of
tie wagon and blown it-baby and all
over the cli-- 'o-the shore below. And
when the lad glanced down he saw
the child struggling to free itself of the
wreck. Down the beach about fifty
yards was a huge crocodile asleep. II
he walked before the child was rescued.
the baby was lost.
Selah looked back and saw DR.. Bur-
ton running toward them.
Crocodile, crocodilev screamed the
lad In frenzy. as he leaped down to
the shore. In a moment he had untan-
gled the baby from the wagon and held
II safely In his arms. He could see the
huge creature was now awake and be-
ginning to crawl toward him. What
could he do? 1t were impossible to
climb the cliff with the baby Just then
he heard a shout, looked up. and there
on top Of the cliff stood the doctor with
rope in his hands.
Grab it," yelled the doctor. IT will
pull you up" But Selah knew II would
be impossible to hang to the rope with
one hand and hold the baby in the
other. So with a quick twist he caught
the baby in the loose and called to the
doctor to pull. In a moment the baby
was safe.
But when Selah looked around the
crocodile was but three yards away.
There In the wagon was a large pillow
made OF feathers. which had formed
the baby's bed. So quick as a wink the
lad grabbed 1t. and when the crocodile
opened his huge Jaws Selah threw the
pillow In between the long, sharp teeth.
The mouth closed with a snap. And
there was one astonished animal. The
feathers flew into his eyes, but the
most Of them choked down into his
throat. Anc so surprised was he that
he stopped still. head on the. ground.
then dragged himself quickly Gown into
the mud again to try and get the
feathers out of his throat.
This was Selah's chance. He saw
that the doctor had the baby safe, then
he dashed upward. With a spring at
the rope now dangling down for the
second time. he grabbed it and climbed
rapidly to the top of the cliff. But once
there he fell fainting from excitement
In q few moments he was better and

quarters, and when the family sailed
the next week for England, Sel,b ,yapt

Taking Of the Atlantic Fleets
Maneuvers One Of Biggest
Achievements So Far.

w YaAT Ii PROBABLY the biggest
AN achievement in The history Of
Wv motion picture making il the
taking Of the recent maneu-
vers Of the Atlantic feet by a camera
man Of the Animated Weekly Company.
The diplomacy necessary TO obtain such
a picture. the influence that was exert
ed. and the requirements that were full
filed before the consent of the Govern
ment could be obtained, constituted q
story In themselves, scarcely secondary
in interest to the results. The early
exhibition Of these pictures is awaited
with interest by Washingtonians.
In line with the announcement that
these pictures have been taken comes
another piece Of news which also in
terests local lovers of the silent drama.
One of the most notable events In the
country's history. the assassination OF
President Lincoln. has been filmed. and
pictures have Just been completed by
the Powers company, in which the
proscenium arch Of the old Ford's The

jumps from the balcony TO the stage
and escapes. with the audience rising
en- masse as the President sinks to the
floor. with his wife bending over him.
That the motion picture is destined to
play a far greater part In the worlds
work than the average person now
realizes is the opinion Of those who are
keeping close watch of the develop
ment Of this branch Of entertainment.
Says Motion Picture
Business Only In Infancy.
In a recent interview a prominent
member of the board of directors OF
the Universal Film Manufacturing Com
pany said:
"The motion picture business is al
present only In its infancy. What
the future has in store cannot
be overestimated. Great plays,
far greater than the plays we
are producing now, will be written for
the motion picture, which demands and
reproduces the expression OF the emo
tions through action.
THE moving picture will make knowl,
edge which has been pa1nfuliy ABSORBED
a pleasure and n delight to children.
Several States of the Union now use
the moving picture as regular part OF
the public school system
Before long l am satisfied every ut
tie country schoolhouse will have It's
moving picture machine. and the picture
will teach the children pleasantly In one
hour more than they could be taught
in a week or a month against the grain.
The lives of great men will be made
familiar to children in moving pictures
before they shall have reached the age
of ten. Little boys and girls Will nave
in their minds the great events or tie
life of Lincoln.
,srhe great battles of the world. the
great naval conflicts-all of these can be
reproduced and will be reproduced and
nresented in moving pictures for the
Education and delight Of millions.

Little Short of Amazing.

in moving picturs: minds that are dull
will be awakened by moving pictures

For The Times Children
Just Before It's Bedtime
THE CROCODILE AND THE PILLOW.

TT was evening on the Nile. And the
great yellow river moved sluggishly
along. a winding ribbon down the
green valley. on in the desert the
purple shadows chased over the sand
and out Of the sunset glow crawled
long line Of ambling camels.
Presently the caravan halted at a
temple near the river bank. and In a
few minutes the twilight scene was full
Of hustle. A few English travellers were
In the party, and these went to view
the temple while the evening meal was
being prepared. Among the English
people were a doctor. his wife and baby.
As the doctor walked up to the door of
the temple he saw crouching in a cor
ner a small bog. half naked.
The lads brown skin shone in the last
rays reflected from the water, and the
only clothing was a bit Of red cloth
wound around his hips Just then
around the corner strode huge native
with his face red with anger. He was
about to seize the boy and lash him
with a whip when the doctor caught the
man by the shoulder. Then taking the
lad by the hand, the doctor went back
to supper.
MY name Is selah," said the boy.
'and am an orphan. That man Is my
uncle, who whips me whenever he ID
angry. ] have no home and will work
for the white doctor. II he will let me. "
So DR.. Burton took the lad as one of
his own party.
The next day they spent visiting the
old ruins in the neighborhood and sight,
seeing down the river. Now the Nile,
which Is the river that runs through
Egypt. is full of crocodiles. which are
very much like the alligators that live
in the southern waters Of our own
country.
They are horrible creatures with long
mouths that can swallow a pig at one
mud of the banks. Here they lie in
great rows with their ugly heads rest
ing just out Of the water looking like
dead tree trunks, they are SO still and
knotted. But at feeding time. when the
priest comes out OF the temple to give
them meat they swarm I'D the shore in
great droves.
In the evening DIR. Burton nut the
baby in a tiny wagon and told Selah to
pull her along the sands. but far out of
reach Of the sleeping crocodiles. So
Selah went solemnly along. dragging
tn wagon after him till he got on a
part of the shore forming a little cliff.
The baby, who was about two years
old, dropped her rattle, SO Selah stopped
