Wherefore she possessed jewels in abun-

But Camille never became confused.
Her scientifically operating mind told
her that somewhere in London was the
main chance, and nothing but that main
chance appealed. So she grouped her
men friends in two classes, ineligibles
and eligibles, and from the last group
ing picked out Hon. Henry Lyndhurst
Bruce, only son of Baron Aberdare of
Duffryn, Mountaigh Ash, Glamorgans,
president of the University of Wales,
heir to the title, to a 4,000-acre estate,
and to coal mines in southern Wales.
Furthermore the Honorable Henry was
young, good looking, and wildly in love.
He looked so much like the main chance
that other chances went glimmering be-
fore Camille's azure eyes. She whis-
pered "yes" one evening and the Honor
able Henry ran to his noble father with
the glad tidings. His noble father, how
ever, failed to enthuse. When he ap-

She made good. In a night she travelled
the esoteric path from obscurity to fame.
And traces of the seamstress fell away

Big times in big punches were the order of the evening Sunday when the Bisbee lodge, Loyal Order of Moose, gave one of its smokers. The manner in which the members attended and the manner in which the program was staged gave rise to much speculation as to the possibility of holding them at regular and frequent intervals.
 Several boxing bouts featured the evenings entertainment. the goes be- ing some of the best seen in the Dis trict in many months.

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
 APPEARS AGAIN AT
 THE ORPHEUM TODAY
Eminent Actor Takes Leading Role in Recent Triangle Re- lease Flirting With Fate". Keystone Comedy on Bill.

"Gol darn it." exclaimed Douglas newest picture, Flirting With Fate" which is to be seen at the Orpheum theatre today. I'm sick and tired of seeing these fashion-plate heroes of the screen go through everything as though life held nothing new for them. In this play I'm supposed to be very nervous man and an inexperienced man. So just to be consistent and different I'm going to skip few of the details"
 director. " Go as far as you like. But if it doesn't look right when you get through you'll have to do 1t my way"
 So "DOuggy" went ahead and did it his way. He maintained, for instance, that a man who was absolutely unfa miliar with the society of ladies. and man unaccustomed to wearing a dress suit, both of which conditions described the character of the man he was playing, would not observe the
 
 of one brought up in the environment. The role was that of an artist who is struggling to get along, but who has fallen in love with a rich society girl and has succeeded in meeting her. ..
 Upon being introduced to a lady society man would walk over to her and be presented; upon being intro duced to the idol of his heart Fair banks, in character as "Augy" Aims worth, is so nervous that he stands stock still while his smiling friend brings the lady over to him and pre- sents her. Acting on the same basis, Fairbanks forgets to kiss his bride at the wedding scene. He declared he should be too flustered to think of such details.
 The director said nothing after Fair banks had concluded the scenes. But it is significant that he let the Fair banks versions remain.
