The ambassador carried with him
clear summary of this govern

pending between Germany and the

the danger of certain radical ele-

Before sailing Gerard expressed
the belief that many of the belliger-

IDEA in his message to congress to-

THE JAWS OF DESTRUCTION.

THE JAWS OF DESTRUCTION.
But this is preposterous, Captain
Bracket" declared Enoch Golden
somewhat heatedly. II would as
soon think of accusing my own
daughter of being the Laughing Mask
as this boy, who has stood by me
through all my troubles
I'm sorry, Mr.. Golden, but the law
must take its course" answered the
smug-faced police officer. II didn't
make any move until l was sure of
what / was doin', though I've had
my suspicious ever since I found this
here piece of joolry on your library
floor the time the Laughing Mask
gave us the slip"
Fishing in a deep side pocket, he
drew out a gold cuff link with the let
ers ID. M. monogramed on its oval
face. Turning complacentIy to the
manacled and detected secretary
who stood near by he extended the
shining trinket on the palm of his
beefy hand.
You'll have to do a lot of explain
in before you get through" he thun-
dered at Davy in a third-degree
voice, land since you say you amt
the Laughing Mask. you might as
we'll commence by tellin' us how he
happened to drop this sleeve button
with your initials on it."
The young man seemed to be slowly
celebrating as he glanced around
that ring Of grave-faced listeners,
waiting anxiously for his reply. He
saw the perturbed expression Of his
employer, the gently trustful face of
Mrs. Golden, and then his gaze rested
on the slender, fair-haired girl whose
eyes met his with a look Of tender
sympathy. He turned away with a
little gesture of futility, his head
dropping YEARLY forward.
Il guess you'll have to do your
duty, captain" came his low-toned
reply. II have no explanation to offer
you
As the openly exultant officer OF the
law laid O. heavy hand on Davy's
shoulder to lead him from the room
his glance happened to fall on a
richly woven lace curtain swaying in
the gentle breeze from the open
window. The next instant his
jaw dropped in blank amazement.
From behind that lace hanging
stepped a familiar figure holding a
stubby, black automatic in his hand.
His features were hooded by yellow
mask, the mouth-slit curving into an
enigmatic smile.
The Laughing Mask!" involun-
tarily burst from the astounded
group.
Entirely at your SERVICE" came the
knocking rejoinder. Then he cried
tersely, Throw up your hands, all of
you." and his wavering automatic
suddenly came to rest, aimed square
ly at the dumfounded police captain
who was surreptitiously reaching for
his revolver.
He quickly crossed to that silently
raging guardian of the peace and ex-
tracted the yellow bit of metal from
his unwilling fingers. Then with lev
eled weapon he backed slowly to the
open window, and. leaping out with
an agile spring, vanished from the
sight of that little assemblage Over
come with the very audacity Of this
daring stroke, they stood for a mo-
ment staring at the open window,
then came a hurried stampede out OF
the house to cut of the retreat Of the
masked fugitive.

Death of Judge Kent.

Judge Edward Kent, of Phoe-
nix, a prominent figure in the
history of Arizona, is dead. He
was one of the heat victims in
Chicago last Saturday, where he
had gone a few days previous to
get his aged mother away from
the heated city, only himself to
fall a victim. Judge Kent was
a member of the territorial
supreme court, being appointed
chief justice by President Roose-
velt, which position he held until
the admission of the state.
1t was during his term as chief
justice of the territory that Judge
Kent handed down his famous
Kent decree settling the status
of land owners under irrigation
conditions. This celebrated judg-
ment was handed down in 1910
and has become the foundation
on which practically the entire
fabric Of the law governing the
rights of irrigators has been
based. 1t settled, for the first
time, the rights appurtenant to
all the lands of the Salt River
valley and has been followed in
all the western states.
The body of Judge Kent has
been taken to his native state of
Massachusetts for burial.

Play For Jealous Wives is "The
Green Swamp"

A woman's fight with jealousy
and her final triumph and happi-
ness are forcibly shown in the
new Ince-Triangle story "The
Green Swamp, coming to the
Electric Theatre next Saturday,
August 5th. Marjorie Allison
was consumed with jealousy.
She found fault with her husband,
DR.. Ward Allison for looking
twice at a woman at a theatre,
though he was unconscious of
any harm. At masked ball
she caught him dancing twice
with one woman and reproached
him with it. So her passion for
suspecting the worst of her hus-
band went on in spite Of his ex-
plantations and reproaches. One
night there came a call for DR..
Allison. The wife suspected that
the doctor was being led astray
by some charmer and didn't in
form him of the call. Later the
call came again. DR.. Allison
hastened away to tend the pa
tient, a child, who had pneumo-
MIA. By strenuous efforts, the
doctor preserved the life of the
child. How later, her husband
is taken sick, is removed to a
sanatorium, how she thinks he
has pretended illness to be with
a nurse, and how she is finally
cured of her mania, forms a
photoplay of absorbing interest,
and should be seen by every
woman possessed Of a jealous
disposition.
