POLES

Flashing brilliantly across the the- atrfcal horizon, the wake of the spec tacular event filled with dashing col ors, the seasons greatest and best "girl'' act, burst into the. bright light of successful engagement at Poli's yesterday and last night. That the act was a success. goes without say- ing, though if there was such word coined, more could be said, but when it Is understood that the act stopped the show,"-to revert to the parlancc, no greater tribute could be paid to the ability of the performers, both in- dividunIly and collectively.
 The masterful manner in which the comedy end of the show was handled by Manning and Clark, was revela- tion in itself, their clever dialogue proving to be a complete success.
 The different members of the cho- rus, each who did a speciality that was particularly fitted to their ability, are well worthy of mention, the Misses Ring, Shaw, Moore, Corning and the Henily sisters being wond erfully re- ceived for their dainty singing and dancing
 Creating a verata'ble riot by the arr tlstic manner in which he delivered the best singing single act on the vaudeville stage, '-The Man Of the Ice wagon" repeated the success that he made when he played this house about a year and a half ago.
 Dingley and Norton, man and woman, pleased the large audience with their skillfu1 playing of all vari- cities of musical instruments. A mo- ticeable feature of their act, was a travesty on .-The Sextet from Lucia ' which brought them a hearty re. sponse from the house

THE STRAND

Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp 2 the world famous tale from the Ara bian Nights Tales, has been adauted to the screen and will be featured to- dsv at the Strand theatre.
 The picture stands out as distinc- tive novelty of the cinema art.
 Many spectacular scenes are intro duced throughout the action and the picture is truly one that will make you sit up and take notice.
 The memorable part of the story in which .AIai5din rubs the magic lamp and commands the genie who appears to build him a magnificent palace, is faithfully reproduced in the photo play version. A striking effect of the screen results in the gradual appear ance of gorgeous structure on the burning sands.
 All of the desert scenes are notable because of tho splendid photographic record which has been made of them for t11is production.
 From beginning to end, the filmed Aladdin" has distinct charm At the very outset, the picture-goers are introduced into the wonderful play citv of old Bagdad The evening is falling on the Oriental sp1endor of the ancient mart of the East, and Mofiannmedans kneel everywhere fn prayer.
 The Arabs on the heated desert. without the gates. the devout in the Mosques. the powerful in the palaces and the workers in the bazaars all turn towards Mecca with reverence. Then attention is concentrated on Aladdin.
 The Genie in Aladdin has some thing of the element of the giant in "Jack and the Beanstallx." and car ries out perfectly the impression of f,efrQ ahle to do whatever he cares to.

CHAPTER Xxx.
The Victors.

Meade knew that they were fighting
losing battle. Every one of the
higher grade men knew it also. The
spillway was entirely inadequate, but
it suddenly flashed into his mind, with
that consciousness Of the hopelessness
of the struggle, that perhaps there was
another way to discharge the flood.
The same idea might have come to
any other of the more intelligent of the
men from Vandeventer down If they
had taken a moment for reflection. II
they had not been so frantically, so
frightfully engrossed in their present
puny but gallant efforts to save the
dam, they certainly would have remem-
bered. That the possibility came to
Meade rather than to any Of the others
was perhaps due to the fact that he
had noted the situation later and had
studied the conditions more recently.
Those solitary rambles of his, those
careful inspections of the terrain of
the valley, had been made long after
the original surveys and the results Of
his observations were still fresh in his
mind.
The water was rising so rapidly
since the cloudburst and he saw the
inevitableness of the failure so clearly
that he did not dare to waste time to
look up Vandeventer, tell him his plan,
and get his permission. Every second
was Of the utmost value. When the
thought came, he acted instantly. He
was in the position Of the commander
Of a small force to whom is suddenly
presented the bare possibility of wrest-
ing victory from defeat by some splen-
didly daring and unforeseen undertake
ing. And he was the man to seize such
a possibility and make the most Of it.
He had endeared himself to some of
the men and the respect in which he
was held by Vandeventer was shared
by the others. When he called two
Of the most capable Of the workmen,
big, burly Irishman and stout little
Italian. to follow him, they did it
without a moments hesitation.
The rest Of you keep on here" he
shouted as he left the gang. murphy
and Funaro, come with me. Keep 1t
up; think know a way to help" he
yelled back through the rain as he
scrambled off the dam up the rocks to
the spillway. 1t was not his fault that
they could not hear and could not I'M
derstand.
The water was rushing through the
spillway about knee deep, and til"

/ progress assuming the usual attitude

conditions which sometimes betray
MIN to those who know him well. Nor
could Helen Illingworth with her
( trembling hands focus the glass, which
she took from Rodney before the strug
Cling adventures had passed; and yet
there was something in the figure be-
low that made her heart beat faster
She pressed her hand to the wet gar
lnentS over her heart and stared. Sud-
denly Rodney raised his voice and
shouted at the very top of it. Winters
joined in, and even Helen Illingworth
found herself screaming. The three
men below were not more than five or
SIX hundred feet away, but evidently
they could not possibly hear in that
tumult of nature. No voices would
carry through any such rain and wind.
Ihey were too intent on their paths
and on what they had to do to look
upward. They rounded the shoulder
OF the mesa and disappeared in the
pines at its feet
The three on the top looked at each
other.
The dam still holds" said Rodney,
quite unsuspecting what was in the
Woman's heart.
Even as he spoke, Helen Illingworth
turned away. She ran heavily in her
SodQen garments along the broken
mesa top past the house to the upper
edge. There below her were the three
men just emerging from the fringe of
trees. Rounding the end of the mesa,
they had at last struck firmer ground
Helen lllingworth could see them
through the pines on the old trail. The
going was bad enough, but it was moth
ing compared to what they had passed
over and presently they burst out of
the woods and ran along the greasy,
well-rounded hOgback that divided the
valley from the ravine.
The woman had no idea what was

after. There Winters Joined her.
Rodney sent me to look after you;
he feels that he must stay back and
watch the dam for his paper"
Look" said Helen, pointing far
down. The men halted at the very
narrowest part of the hogback. They
were clustered together. The bag lay
on the ground behind them. One man
bent over it, evidently opening it.
Another man swung the shovel vicious
ly, the third grabbed the pick. Win
tiers had been too far removed from en-
cheering even yet to figure out what
was toward. They could only watch
and wonder.

minutes; as it was, they made it in
thirty. The extreme possibility Of the
life of the dam seemed to Meade not
much greater. He went in the lead,
and by his direction the others kept
some distance behind him.
IF I fall and explode this dynamite,
there's no need of all three of US be-
ing blown up" he had said, and it was
no reflection on their courage that they
complied with his direction.
Indeed stern command was neceS-
sary to keep the two men back. They
had caught something of the gallant
spirit of the engineer. and the big
Irishman and the little Italian were as
eager as he. Helped by few hasty

it had difficulty in keeping their foot
ing on the broken. rocky bottom.
When they reached the other side,
Meade shouted above the storm:
Murphy, bring your pick and Shov-
ell; take that iron range-pole, too.
Here, FunarO, you take your shovel
and these"
AS he spoke he ran into the office

ruthlessly separating the legs from one
another by main force and pitching
two Of them into the little Italians
OutStretched arms.
Without a question, both men com
piled with his directions. In a huge
crevice, almost a small cave, in the
spur of the mesa which Overhung the
east end of the dam the explosives
were stored. The dynamite was kept
in OilSkin bags, the decorating caps Ill
waterproof boxes. There We're six
teen sticks or cartridges in each bag.
Each stick was an inch and q half i'll
diameter and eight inches long. One
bagful should be ample. Indeed, If
that did not do the work, the attempt
would fail.
The men waited while Meade select
ed bag Of dynamite, box of detona-
tors. and Il package Of fuses. 1t was a
cardinal rule that dynamite cartridges
and decorating caps should never be
carried by the same person, because
the combination so greatly increased
the risk of premature explosion.
The illuminate of mercury in the
decorators was very volatile, highly eX-
ploSive and immensely destructive, con-
Sidering its size. One such cap could
blow off mans hand, or even his
head, and in its explosion might deto-
nate the dynamite. Hence the sepa-
ration when being carried.
Meade decided to take that risk. He
knew how perilOus was the undertake
ing, how liable he was in his hurry to
fall against the rocks, slippery and
half submerged in that pouring rain.
He knew what the consequences of
such fall would be. He would center
all risks In himself. He thrust the box
Of detonators in his pocket, the pack
age Of fuses inside his flannel shirt,
and carried the dynamite bag in his
hand. He would need his. free hand to
protect himself, so all the tools were
carried by the other men.
The little Italian shook his head as
hn 10 ho
pened to be one of the explosive force,
those whose duty it was to do the
blasting. In his practical way he knew
Il great deal about the properties and
possibilities Of usefulness of the dyna-
mite. Meade'S purpose was obvious,
even to Murphy, who was only la
borer, though where he proposed to
work neither man had any idea at all.
''Dynamita no work in ZiS weather"
said Funaro impressively.
Probably not" answered Meade.

"Give me re caps" urged the Ital-

"Yes. but come on"
Meade, wasting no more words,
sprang at what was left Of the trail,
and the two men CALAMITY followed
him. The hogback at which he was
aiming was perhaps little more than
two miles from the dam. On the Ordi-
nary trail and prepared for the run,
