was injured, while the audience would
have gleefully watched on while Mr.,

The fire was discovered by one OF
the operators, who by some accident
reached into the iron safety box and
felt film burning He withdrew the
combustible and set 1t on the iron
floor of the booth, where the flames
spread to half dozen other reels,
which were caught and consumed In
the confagration.

Pathetic Insanity Case

A most pathetic case of INSANITY
was investigated by Probate Judge
Brandt yesterday when Miss A. M.
Leydecker of Wendell was examined
with view to her commitment to
the Blackfoot asylum. Miss Leydeck-
er is AZ years of age, well educated.
and nurse by occupation, and has
resided at Wendell for several wears
She recently employed Wendell con-
tractor to build residence and paid
MIN for his work with money borrow
ed from her brother, who resides at
Buffalo, N. Y. 1t developed later that
the contractor did not pay for the
lumber used for the house, amount
Ing to about $500, and the building
company filed lien on the building
and foreclosure of this lien meant
the loss of the property. Miss Lev
decker then sued the contractor for
the money and secured Judgment
against him. only to find that no
owned nothing and the judgment was
worthless.
Worry over these troubles and the
threatened loss Of her home are said
to be the direct cause of her mental
arrangement, which is described as
acute mania. Her talk is wild and
incoherent and she has no rational

They reached the end Of the plowed
field and. passing through a gate,
turned abruptly to the left and began
to climb narrow path which bordered
the boundary wall, and which became
sleeper every moment. AS they as
cended, the orchard and the long, low
house on the other side seemed to lie
almost at their feet. The road and the
open moOrland beyond, stretching to
the encircling hills, came more clearly
into sight with every backward glance.
Louise paused at last, GREATNESS.

are taking me TOT" she asked. IF you
have discovered that, no wonder you
find US ordinary women outside your

He laughed.
There are no fairies where we are
going" he assured her.
They were on a roughly made road
now, which turned abruptly to the
right a few yards ahead, skirting the
side of a deep gorge. They took few
steps further, and Louise stopped short
with cry Of wonder.
Around the abrupt corner an entirely
new perspective was revealed-a little
hamlet built on a shoulder of the
mountain; and on the right, below
steep descent, wide and sunny valley.
IT was like a tiny world of its own,
hidden In the bosom Of the hills. There
Was long line Of farm buildings, built
of gray stone and rooted with red tiles
there were fifteen or twenty stacks; a
quaint, whitewashed house Of consid-
cradle size, almost covered on the
southwark side with creepers; row
or cottages. and a gray-walled inclo-
sure-stretching with It's white tomb
stones to the very brink of the descent
In the midst of which was an ancient
church, In ruins at the farther end
partly rebuilt with the stones of the
hillside.
Louise looked around her, silent with
wonder. ut isn't real, is it7" she
