ceny by chucking her to the Cinders.
Distaste for this Display of Depravty adds to the
prevailing Resessness, until the Robbers realize that
they are Oversaying their Welcome With a few Fare
well Shots they Delve into the Distance, leaving the
Express Messenger to repair his Puncured Dignity by
arranging the Revenge.
The Overture of their Retreat is subject to Change
without Notice. Sometimes they uncoupe the Engine
and travel down the line leaving Trail of Bound and
Gagged Railroad Men at all Way Stations. Sometimes
they Deviate across the Desert. But in the end hev
invariably Revert to Ritual and make for Dead Mans
Pass.
For the few minutes Filmvillc divides its at
tention between the Wcaher-beatcn Gun Artists tong
over the Lodges with their Predatory Wealth and the
Indignant Heroine When the Bandits see how ser-
ously she has taken the Episode they experience a
Chill of Remorse for their past lack Of Courtesy.
Their Natural Fortress is calculated to withstand
Reasonable Masculine Assault and even the Express
Messenger until she points ringcss Finger of
Scorn and makes Hesitation unpopular that Nalor
becomes the better Part of Discretion After this the
concern of the Bandits is to make their Surviving
Moments as urid possible in which Ambition they
abeted by the Messenger who must emerge as a
Hero never
He achieves this by executing a Flank Movement
and dropping into the Robbers Nest from a Second
Story Cliff thus putting the Flourshes the Capture
For reasons connected with the Ring he is obliged be
purely Plaonic Hero but this skaters no Illusions

of our Leading Fctionists would have us believe.

though he has been gearing his Thinking Machine up
to this Interview since SUNRISE his Trigger Finger slut
tiers on the first Shot, and all Further Intentions are
interrupted by return fire of Dundum Epithets For
want of Better Line of Repartee he throws up his
hands and admits that whatever the Joke is it is
him.
This Afabiy so softens the hearts of the Robbers
that they merely chain him to the Safe while they plant
Spring Sowing of Dynamite under it and await the
Returns Filmvlc makes Heavy Annual Appropria-
ton for the Ensuing Fireworks, and all signs point to
Relief Fund for the Messengers Family. The fact
that the Explosion blows the Chain to snhereens
without disseminating the Messenger is therefore taken
by the Robbers sign Of Detective Dope, thus weak
ening their Confidence in the Second Reel
The Train Grew and Passengers accompany the echo
of the Explosion to the Scene, and Circumstances
which the Robbers have no control accumulate rapidly.
The irrtaed Messenger heads an Impromptu Crusade
against Brigandage Company Property, and the
passengers register Assorted Sizes Of Moral Support.
Although Filmville regards Express Robbery a
Sacred Ceremony, it offers Option at this point. The
Robbers may conduct Rear Guard Action and start
for hurried tour Of the Adjoining Geography, win
Head On Skirmish and line the Passengers up for Per-
sonal Plucking
If they decide to ransack the Tourists, it is not for
the Wallets and Watches involved Their Real OBJ
ectivc is the Heroines Diamond Ring without which
she never be happy again. She displays such I'M
patience with the Idea that the Messengers Better
Nature bounds into action; but his Sortie halts when
he becomes the Reception Committee for a Lead Tipped
Veto.
The Heroine continues to make Personal Issue of
the Incident foreblv that the Head Brgand is almost
ready TO admit that he doesn't Understand Women.

Morality is One Down with Marathon to Play.
This permits the Filmvle Express Company to
charge Recreation Rates without fear of Appeals to
Commerce Commissions other Butt-inners. 1t also
absolves the Company from Damage Claims, by the
Axiom that there is Redress for Gold Brick Purchases
everywhere but in the Amusement Field.
The Express Messenger goes duty whenever the
Train Robbers have recovered from their Previous De-
feat and ready to resume Experiments with the
Ten Commandments. But for them he would have lost
his job long ago to the Parcel Postman 1t is his luck
that Filmvle Outlaws Conservative Sinners who
insist on Express Messengers or Nothing.
The Messenger is good-natured Giant who would
bc blue-eyed if Filmvle went in for Color Effects.
Being held up is his Hobby, and he introduces himself
to the Plot by refusing to Register an Alarm when the
Junction Station Agent him of Suspicious Char
acters along the line Instead he pats his Hip Arsenal
This follows Filnvle Traditions for Niruous Gun
roters, who give the High Sign Of Rccitue by sappng
their Revolver Butts when Danger threatens. Only
opponents of Law and Order are permitted to pocket
their Weapons without that Formaity. Many Crime
could be sidetracked if the Detectives would notice this
difference In Filmville however, Experience is re-
garded Pleasing Pastime instead of Course Of
Study.
As the Train oozes out of the Station the Express
Messenger stands in the door Of his Car laughing at
Fear; but sixty seconds later he is gazing socnlv

to cheer these patients and help them forget real
or imaginary troubles, more readily than music. Hypo

plation for time and dverts their thoughts into other
and more rational channels, and removes depression,

their souls with the saffron hues of melancholy
are sustained. Also the vibration of a fire
bell seems to incline most dogs to wall lugu-
brousy
60 there can be no doubt that music has
powerful influence upon the emotional life
and to lesser extent upon the actual physical
well being. Therefore it is not to be wondered
at that, from earliest antiquity, its therapeutic
value has been extoed, and its soothing, quieting
and sustaining influence brought into requistion
by physicians and hcalers
Perhaps the earliest reference to its employ
mcnt as "Big Medicine" was when young David
performed number of choice harp solos in
successful endeavor to chase horde of evil spirits
out of King Saul. Following his illustrious eX-
ample, famous harpist quoted the red-headed
rage Of that sterling warrior and connoisseur of
rare wines, Alexander the Great, and we are in
formed that he made exceedingly creditable
job of it too.
The Egyptians and Persans claimed that they
able to cure diseases by the sound of cor
responding string on the lute-whatever they
may have meant by that whence possibly arose
the reprehcnsbe practice of harping on one
string. Also Plato, in his utramodern "Repub-
lic' goes into elaborate detail in describing the
kind of music best calculated to develop and
maintain body in state of perfect health, and
emphasizes repeatedly that music should not be
used for the sole purpose of delightng the senses
but rather for easing the troubled soul, and cur
ing the sickncsscs that imperfect bodies must
necessarily undergo.
AS might be expected, Shakespeare makes fire.

Italy has been cured by nusic-so they say.
This condition is called tarantism, in honor of the
spider (his full name is Lycosa Tarantua). The
only specific or cure for the disease was believed
to be music and dancing; in fact, particular
form of music, much relished by the South Ital-
lars, is the tarantella, which had its origin in this
connection If a tarantea be played to victim
of the speckled spider, even though the victim
be almost moribund, he will irrcsistibly move
hands and feet in time to the music, and soon
spring from his bed and dance until exhausted
Sometimes this requires as long three hours,
during which he perspires profuscly. Then he
sinks into quiet sleep. This procedure is re-
peaed for three or four successive days. after
which the "tarantista" can usually be pronounced
cured In all probability the chief factor of this
condition which is benefited by the music and
the dance is the hystcria and'tlc melancholy most
frequently associated with it.
During those peculiar cpidcn1ics Of st. Nitus's
dance, known as the dancing sickness, which
ovcrran Europe at intervals during the Middle
Ages it was this medicine of music that brought
about return of sanity and normaty. Musicians
would place themselves at the head of bands of
shouting, yelling, dancing Mysteries, and, by play
ing increasingly slower and calmcr melodies,
gradually sway the mob into nationality once
more. All the medicines in the then known phar-
macopnia were unsuccessful in producing one
tithe of this result.
There can be no doubt of the beneficial effects
of music in nervous disorders, as insomnia, hys-
terc epilepsy, irritability, and rcslessness, and
that high-strung and miserable condition known
