The officer, without paying the
slightest attention, began to rummage
among the papers on Jim's desk. The
stenographers and other girls in the
large room adjoining, having got wind
of what has happening, appeared at
the door with frightened faces.
Mr.. Corrigan-Jim, dear, | believe
in you to the last" cried Della, losing
all self-control. She came up to him
and slipped her hand into his and
stood deflantly beside him.
Jim smiled a little wistfully. At
that moment this was the hardest
thing that he had to bear, her trust
fulness. If only he had gone before
she came!
What's this?" queried the officer,
picking up the telegram.
Jim had forgotten Clancy's message.
He groaned as the man deity opened
it.. Clancy was always outspoken, and
he was no more careful in his dis
patches. That meant the end of all, of
Della, of what shreds of honor he had
hoped to retain after the investiga

The officer read the telegram and
laid it down. Jim picked it up and
read: Huge gold deposits discovered

The federal officer scratched his
head. "My orders are to seal" he
began; and then a second man APP

Come off, Louis!" he said. "Mr
Corrigan, this is mistake for which,
we owe you a good many apologies.
We had information which led us to

After searching throughout Montgom- of the World Film corporation have been successful in locating the counterpart of landscapes they required, close by this city, on the Hunter Vaughn farm, just beyond the Masonic home and but short distance from Montgomery.
 Director Maurice Tourneur and Assist ant Director c. l.. Brown, with members of the Chamber of Commerce, have been visiting various places, the object being to find a rolling country, with pasturage, shrubbery and leaves on the trees, some thing similar to the famous Normandy country of France. They tried Virginia, and even as close by as Birmingham. The rolling country was there, but the green foliage was absent at this season of the year
 Another requirement to complete the views was herds of sheep and other do- nestle animals. These they found at MT. Vaughn's farm, and the genial repre- sentative of the legislature extended the film men an invitation to make them selves at home the latchstring hanging outside the door.
 So sure were the two directors that Montgomery and vicinity would provide what was desired, that they telegraphed several days ago to their camera opera tor. John Van Den Broeck, and the tech rical representative, Joseph Clement, to come to Montgomery at once.
 The picture to be presented to the pulp lie, about the first of January, will be entitled The Genius.

 Edward Sheldon, who wrote the play upon which this film is based probably read Walter Besant's "All Sorts and Conditions of Men" The scene of this book was laid in the East End of London. just about the time when the Salvation Army was founded by the late William Booth, 40 years ago.
 Ones knowledge of the world is in complete without personal study of the great East End of London; compared with it, New York's Eastside is a sanctuary of all the virtues Booth made his first converts in the East End of London, where the army is still vastly potent force in the social up- lift.
 In Sheldon's play and in the Cali fornia film version, which is to be re- leased by World Film corporation, you can just as well locate the action in London. Paris, Bombay, Tokio.
