The third episode of Zudors, "The Mys-
terry of the Dutch Cheese Maker" was
shown at various local photoplay houses
yesterday, and will be repeated during
the course of thS week. Again the hand
Of the mystic detective, Hassam All. Is
turned against John Storm sweetheart
of his niece, zudora, who. unknown to
herself on her 18th birthday becomes heir
to the great zudora mine.
The picture begins by showing John
Storm In the store OF the Dutch cheese
maker who has asked the young lawyer
to draw up his will for him, After their
conversation is completed. the old man
gives his counsellor a piece Of cheese
as n present and Storm goes out the
door with II tucked carelessly under his
arm, and, as luck would have IL, going
down the steps he drops 1t. Quick with
suspicion and on the alert for any chance,
Hassam Ali. who has come up behind
him, stoops and picks up the cheese.
A minute later the mystic is approached
by n miserably clothed, old, long bearded
tramp who asks his aid in marketing
some diamonds Hassam Ali learns from
this old man that he manufactures dia-
monds that are seemingly as wonderful
as natures own. Hassam Ali gives the
old man his card, and learns that his
plant is in the cellar OF this very build
Ing and directly under the shop OF the
Dutch cheese maker They go down and
examine IT, and the inventor finglng
carbon in a blast furnace, causes an ex-
plosion that produces diamond This
diamond Hassam Ali takes to a jewelere,
and learning that 1t Is genuine becomes
greatly excited.
When he returns to the inventors. how
ever, he learns that the old man Is being
systematically robbed, and that his sus-
picions have centred ON the mystic as
the only man who has been in the un-
derground quarters. The two men clinch,
but Hassam All subdues his Trailer OPP
ponent and then ,convinces him that he
has taken nothing, and that they must
try to apprehend the thief, They set
trap in the hope of doing this, and Has
ham All goes home, where he opens his
package dropped by Storm and to his
intense astonishment and glee discovers
that the cheese is full of diamonds. When
his niece says that she is going 20 make
this mystery the third of her 20 cases,
her uncle laughs to himself. He has
promised her that IL she solves 20 cases
Tor him, he win give his permission to
her marriage with Storm but he feels
confident that this time she is going to
fail.
eerned, from the little daughter OF the
Dutch cheese maker. who is now in prison,
to Storm himself, zudora finally goes
down the Fickety stairs into the dusty
cellar occupied by the diamond inventor.
Thinking that at last the thief who has
robbed him 80 systematically OF his gems
is about to fall into his clutches. the old
man rushes at her in his fury and she is
only saved by the arrival of Hassam All.
While the mystic does not raise his hand
to help her, the old man stops at sight OF
him and Zudora gets a chance to explain.
Just by chance, when they free her, she
escapes putting her foot in great man
trap set on the floor, but as she leans
ack against the wall, gasplng family, the
solution of the whole mystery suddenly
occurs to her.
she has heard, between the walls, the
scamper OF hurrying feet. and she i'm
medlateIy goes and looks into one OF the
great cheese watts. There she nnds TWO
mice. Their noses are sticky with cheese,t
and one glance at them convlnces zudora,
Running back to the cupboard where the
are kept she pushes her arm
In and smillngly waits her chance. Pres
emily she hears the mice enter. soon her
hand closes round one OF them, and she |
brings the little pet out and holds MIN |
up with diamond firmly stuck to the |
cheese on the end of his nose. This ex-
plains how the diamonds got INTO AuS /
cheese, and the cheesemaler when he 10
released from Jail, promises In future to /
restrict the activities OF his pets. Once /
more John Storm is cleared by the wit /
of his sweetheart and once more the evil /
designs OF Hassam Ali are frustrated.
