OF July only narrow strip of land con
nected the windfall hammock with the
dry land of the swamp. In deep water
the beavers now worked unmolested.
Inch by inch the water rose. until
there came the day when it began to
overflow the connecting strip. For
the last time Kazan and Gray Wolf
passed from their windfall home and
Travelled up the stream between the
two ridges. The creek held a new
meaning for them now and as they
travelled they shifted its odors and
listened to it's sounds with an interest
they had never known before. 1t was
an interest mingled little with fear,
for something in the manner in which
the beavers had beaten them reminded
Kazan and Gray Wolf Of man. And

Several of the younger members OF
the colony drew themselves ashore on
the windfall side of the pond, and
back through the willows when one
of the older beavers waddled up
through the deepening mud close on
his ambush. In two leaps Kazan was
upon him, with Gray Wolf lap behind
him. The short fierce struggle in the
mud was seen by the other beavers
and they crossed swiftly to the oppo.
site side of the pond. The water had
receded to a half of it's greatest width
before Broken Tooth and his workmen
discovered the breach In the wall OF
the dam. The work Of repair was pc
gun at once. For this work sticks
and brush of considerable size We're
necessary, and to reach this material
the beavers were compelled to drag
their heavy bodies through the ten or
fifteen yards of soft mud left by the
falling water. Peril of fang no longer
kept them back. Instinct told them
that they were fighting for their exls

/ Should a mother eat her heart out

dear to her. when, by bctraying her
| IinmOst SECRET, she could save her
| self? This vital question is answered
ay Betty Nansen, the worlds most
eminent tragedienne in the William
Fox photOdrama, should Mother
Tell" which begins "a two-days' en-
EaEement at the Majestic today.
In the latest William Fox prodpc-
tion, "Should' a Mother Tell" there is
seen dramatic action that is rarely if
ever beheld upon the screen The
story itself by lex Ingram, is one Of
exceptional power and presents a
problem that calls for dramatic ac-
tion of such intensity as could be por-
trayed by perhaps no other actress
than Betty Nansen. As the mother,
torn between an almost fanatical
sense Of justice and a desire for the
happiness Of her daughter, Miss Nan
sen has opportunities to display her
wonderful emotional powers cXcep-
tionally. Indeed, 1t may be said that
in should a Mother Tell?" an ideal
vehicle has been found for this ex-
traordinarilv gifted actress.
Stuart Holmes, who supports Miss
Nansen in this production as Gaspard,
the scroundrellyo husband, portrays
the part to perfection, and Arthur
Hoops and Claire Whitney, as the
Baron and Baroness Gauntier, do eX-
ceptionally well with their respective
roles In many respects this picture
is one of the most remarkable re-
leased in quite some time.
Remember, this is a guaranteed at
traction. the latest Fox production
and the best i'm which Miss Nansen
has ever appeared. Admirers Of this
popular and gifted actress will be
more than repaid by their visit to the
Majestic today and tomorrow.
