Ralph Ince required some race track scenes for '"The Sins of the Mother" :" the $1,OOO.0O prize picture on which he is at work, and the Workers track afforded him the opportunity. To add
 realism to the picture, he induced Miss stewart, who is playing the lead, a young girl, who inherits the -gambl- ing fever, to place bet. She plcK- ed out 10 to 1 shot, placing one hun dred dollars on the horse to win. The horse ran fourth and Miss Stewart was so disappointed she forgot to act.

This had happened to disturb the
quiet humdrum life Of the Woods fam

Ephraim was shocked, then repellent,
finally neutrally Indifferent. The stake
men came to the pump for water, and
insisted on paying for it. Some of
their grazing horses broke down a
fence and devoured small haystack.
The fence was replaced with a new
and better one and double the value Of
the fodder was forced upon Ephraim,
who had to concede that they were
very fair folks"
One day a plain but neatly dressed
young lady crossed over from the liv-
ing tent Of the circus into the Woods
yard. Alan was trimming some vines.
He was at once struck with her mod
esty and beauty.

Mrs. Woods, when she returned,

about acting as nurse for the little pa

but kept it to himself. The circus
company moved away AZ hours later,
but neither Miss Mercy Lester nor Ida

The child was now under medical

one evening month later. They just
make the evenings delightful"
It was true. Little Idalia. still weak
and Ill, was precocious child, full Of
bright intelligence and an exquisite
singer. Miss Leslie made the old plano
ring with harmony. Alan was like q
,, new being under the warm. generous
influence Of loving hearts.
Even when another month had
passed by little Idalia was not yet
entirely well. Then some important
news came. The circus, stranded. had
gone to pieces. Its proprietor wrote
Miss Lester that the elephant would
be sent back to her In charge Of one
| Of his men. Suggestions were volun-
teered as to where the animal might
be sold and he advised that she hold
for price Of $4,000.
But a month went by and neither
man nor elephant appeared. Alan
started an investigation, in the inter-
ests of its little owner. There was no
doubt that the messenger had stolen
and hidden the elephant, for after a
protracted search neither could be To-
Gated
One evening, still in quest Of some
clue as to the whereabouts Of the
missing animal Alan happened into a
moving picture show. One Of the films
depicted a days life of one elephant
The moment Alan saw the first reel he
recognized the missing animal from a
peculiar mark on its breast.
1t did not take long to run down the
subject of the picture. The unworthy
messenger had leased the use Of the
elephant to some film makers in ar
isolated movies camp, and was enjoy
ing a regular income.
It was the evening after Alan hat
returned home to report to Miss Les

plant, but had an offer Of $4,000 fol

family were discussing the future

and vie with each other for popularity.
Quite the newest and most unusual
to be seen is the pantaloon skirt This
has two plain top founces with third
under fiounce that is divided. By
means Of rubbers each side Of the
skirt is drawn in closely to the knees
and thus forms pantaloons. 1t is claimed
for this skirt that not only is 1t a
pretty. graceful model. but that it Is
comfortable to wear and easy to swim
