chanced to be no path beyond, discretion
would compel an immediate return.
"Well,' said he, crouching for the first
leap, "Tm off, whatever comes of it!"
"Mind the slant O. the ice!"
"I'll take it in the trough"
"Not yeti"
Tommy Lark waited for the sea to
roll on.
"You bother me-" he complained. II
might have been half way across by this
time"
you'd have been cotched on the side of
a swell. If you're cotched like that you'll
slip off the ice There isn't man lvin'
can cross that ice on the slant of sea-"
"Be still"
The pan was subsiding from the incline
of sea to the level of the trough.
"Now!' Sandy Rowl snapped.
When the ice floated in the trough
Tommy Lark leaped, designing to attain
his objective as nearly as possible before
the following wave lifted his path to an
incline. He landed fairly in the middle
of the first cake, and had left it for the
second before it sank. The second leap
was short. 1t was difficult, nevertheless,
for two reasons. He had no time to gather
himself for the impulse, and his flight was
taken from sinking ground. Almost he
fell short Six inches less, and he would
have landed on the edge of the cake and
toppled back into the sea when it tipped
to the sudden weight. But he struck near
enough to the center to restrain the ice in
a few active steps, from sinking by the
Il 4
substantial than the first, he was able to
leap with confidence for the third whence
he danced lightly toward the fourth.
The fourth cake, however, lay abruptly
to the right. A sudden violent turn was
required to reach it. 1t was comparatively
substantial; but it was rugged rather than
flat-there was a niggardly, treacherous
surface for landing, and as ground for a
flight the cake furnished doubtful oppor-
tunity. There was no time for recovery.
When Tommy Lark landed the ice began
to waver and sink. He had landed awk-
wardly, his feet in tangle; and, as there
was no time for placing his feet in better
way. he must leap awkwardly- in
stantly, leaving the event to chance. And
leap he did. 1t was supreme effort
toward Une Hun cake.
by this time the ice was fast climbing
~ the side of swelling wave. The crest of
the sea was higher than Tommy Lark's
head Had the sea broken it would have
fallen on him-it would have submerged
and overwhelmed him. 1t did not break
The wind snatched thin spindrift from
the crest and flung it past like a squall of
rain. That was all. Tommy Lark was
midway of the sea, as man may be on
the side of steep hill: there was the
crest above and the trough below; and
the fifth cake of ice was tipped to an in
creasingly perlous angle. Moreover, it
was small; it was the least of ala mo-
mentary foothold, to be touched lightly
in passing on to the slant of the wide pan
in the middle of the lane.
All this was clear to Tommy Lark when
he took his awkward leap from the fourth
cake. What he feared was less the meager
proportions of the fifth cake-which
would be sufficient he fancied, to give him
an impulse for the last leap-than the
slant of the big pan to which he was
bound, which was precisely as steep as the
wave it was climbing, And this fear was

Mile An Hour on High. ..4
w. H. Cahall Of Pasadena, Cal, re-
Gently demonstrated the flexibility Of
the New mitchell Model in a novel
manner when he took his prospect
out in a ISeVen'l Passenger Stock car
and showed himthe car could be driv-
en- on high slower than man could
walk on his hands beside the ma
chine. eil.- -.'- .i""" ri -
The prospect was skeptical so 30
foot course was laid out and Fart
Morris, a we'll known coast athlete,
walked the 30 feet in eight seconds.
The Mitchell car travelling on high
gear made the same 30 feet in twelve
seconds. This means that the car
travelling on high speed at the rate
of mile an hour or less, whereas
Mr.. Morris went on his hands at the
rate OF mile and half an hour.
The car was being demonstrated
to Mr.. John Williams, manager Of
the Standard OF? Company. He sue
ceeded in getting the car to go 20
slow on high speed that the speedo.
meter failed to register. Mr.. Morris,
who was with Mr.. Williams, was as
tonished and bet the cigars he could
beat the car throttled down on high
while walking on his hands.
Mr.. Cahall didn't doubt this be.
cause he we'll knew what he could do
with the Mitchell and that If Mr.. Nor
ris could keep his feet in the air
while travelling forward on his hands
he could beat the machine. -
It struck Mr.. Cahall an interesting
test, however, so course was meas
ured off and with Walter White keep
ing time the race started and Mr..
Morris walking on his hands outdis-
tanced the car travelling on high gear
from start to finish.
"This little stunt merely shows the
adaptability and flexibility of the New
Model Mitchell Six" said Mr.. Cahali.
Even a timid driver can handle it
in the heaviest traffic without trouble.
No changing of gears is necessary to
slow down almost to a standstill and
one can jump from one to sixty miles
an hour also without changing gears. .

1.-THE INNOCENT L|Eu
 AT ROYAL THEATRE
Famous Players Company Presents Extraordinary
 Photoplay.

The Innocent Lie," by Lois ZelIner the latest of the Famous Players-Par- amount productions, was directed by Sidney Olcott on the picturesque is- land of Bermuda. The exterior scenes are unsurpassingly beautiful and with the spacious interior settings make an elaborate background for this ap- pealing drama appearing at the Royal today and Wednesday.
 Miss Valentine Grant, who has won distinction in several previous photo plays, appears as Nora O'Brien, a poor Irish lass. Her troubles commence upon her arrival in America when she is struck by thug. Fortunately, how ever, she is picked up and cared for by the Winters family, who find a note, addressed to them, on her per son. Believing she is their cousin, the Winters discredit her truthful story that she was intrusted with the note by the genuine cousin.
 In a short time Nora becomes ac- customed to her luxurious surround ings and is happy to think that her rightful identity remains unknown. Always bearing in mind the fate that might befall her should the discovery of her usurped position occur. Nora strives to please the family; this she accomplishes with but little effort.
 All her joyfulness disappears when her thieving, drunken brother puts in his appearance in a chauffeur's guise He urges her to help him plunder the Winters residence which Nora strong ly refuses to do. Threatened with disclosure, Nora accedes to his de- mand, and takes refuge in her broth CTS quarters.
 Miss Grant plays the role of Nora with remarkable skill and is support ed by a notable cast, including Jack J. Clark, Morris Foster, Hunter Arden and Robert Cain. Her debut upon the Famous Players-Paramount screen will undoubtedly be considered an suspicious one.

NEW AMERICAN ERA
 DUE SAYS WILSON

(Continued From Page One) ton to me that l can come and ad dress an association of this sort, and yet I feel that there is certain draw back to the present occasion. Thal drawback consists of the fact that it occurs in the midst of a political cam paign, and nothing so seriously upsets Tor iriterfers with fhe Sincere censidera' ton of public questions as political campaign.
 'I want to say to you at the outset that I believe in party action, but that have a supreme contempt for parti- san action; that l believe that it is necessary for men to concert mea- sures together in order to have CO., operation by party, but that whenever party feeling touches any one of the passions that work against the general interest, it ought to be condemned. And, therefore, feel that on occasions like this we should divert ourselves of the consciousness that we are in the midst of a political campaign, be- cause associations like this are not gathered together to take part in parti- san discussion, but to consider those permanent interests of the nation which concern us all the time, which do not alter their aspects because parties are contesting for power, and that we ought as much as possible on all occasions to think of ourselves as first of all men devoted to the wei fare of the country and as compared with that devoted to nothing else whatever.
 What I have come to say to you today, therefore, I would wish to say in an atmosphere from which all the vap5rs of passions have been cleared away, for I want to speak to you about the business situation of the world so far as America is concerned. I am not going to take the liberty of discussing the business situation from the special point of view of your asso- citation, because I know that l would be bringing coals to Newcastle. * $
