the rich valley. So was the other end
guarded miles away. Inside this vast
enclosure, mounted government
guards kept watch that no daring in
terloper got to the land of promise
ahead of the appointed hour.
That was to be at daybreak. A
flag would drop, the rope would be
lowered and the mad rush for choice
locations would begin, mingled in by
representatives of probably every ma
ton under the sun.
Long since the last of this great
mob had left behind them the little
border town of Brocton, where they
had filled the hotels or lived around
in tents and dug outs for the past
month. There had been a travelling
circus at Brocton and it had reaped
a rich harvest. To this aggregation
Armstrong belonged. He had been a
great rover in his time, had become
interested in aeronautics, and, press
ed hard for money, had engaged with
the circus people for the season to
make an ascent daily in a small gas
balloon.
There were not enough people left
in Brocton to fill row of seats that
afternoon. All the hustle and excite
ment was transferred to the border
land. Nearly every resident in the
town had a one hundred sixty-acre
tract in view. So Armstrong had
come to the scene of confusion and
expectancy impelled by curiosity.
For the most part the majority of
the Iand-hungry crowd had camped
on the bare ground. Here and there
were tents and horses and wagons.

COLONIAL THEATRE. H'The Iron Master" Biesrapt1 sensa- tional Two Reel Masterpiece.

This wonderful drama shown at the Colonial today presents the fact that Between the wealth of the ar.Stocrat and the fortune Of the successful Tradesman, there is a, great social diff ference and this is emphasized i9 this feature today. The naughty young so- 4cfety girl marrfes the Iron Master for reasons which are dramatically set forth, but she does not love him. He is a a-bourgeoise and does not under stand the feelings of an aristocrat, she thinks. But the swift develop ments which follow their marriage make this splendid character beloved by the observer long before the great climax brings to his wife tine realiza- fien of hja true nobility. In the un- folding of this thrilling drama. amid unusually beautiful scenes, the Bio graph players have exceIled them selves.
