Yes, JEFF Hyde was snOw-blind. This,
the giant Of the party, had suffered
most.
But Jaspar Hume said, II won't leave
you alone, my man. The dogs can
carry you, as they've done for the last
ten days"
But jeff replied, "Tm as safe here as
marching, and safer. When the dogs
are not carryin' me, nor anyone leading
me you can get on faster; and that means
everything to us; now don't it2'
Jaspar Hume met the eyes Of Gaspe
TOujours. He read them. Then he
said to jeff Hyde, at shall be as you
wish. Late Carscallen, Cloud-in-the-
Sky and myself will push on TO Manitou
Mountain. You and Gaspe Touiour
will remain here"
Jeff Hyde's blind eyes turned toward
Gaspe Toujours, and Gaspe TOuiours
said, eyes We have plenty Of tabac."
A tent was set up, provisions were
put in, a spirit-lamp and matches were
added, and the simple menage was COM
plete. Not quite. Jasper Hume looked
round. There was not a tree in sight.
He stopped and cut away II pole that
was used for strengthening the runner
of the sleds; fastened it firmly in the
ground, and tied to it n red woollen
scarf, which he had used for tightening
his white blankets round him. Then
he said: ''Be sure and keep that flying,
men,"
jeff Hyde's face was turned toward
the north. The blind mans instinct
was coming to him. Far off white
eddying drifts were rising over long
hillocks Of snow. When jeff turned
round again his face was slightly
troubled. 1t grew more troubled, then
it frightened up again, and he said to

Sub-factor, Cloud-in-the-Sky began to
transfer the burning wood from one
Tire to the other until only hot ashes
were let where a great blaze had been.
Over these ashes pine twigs and branch
es were spread, and over them again
blankets. The word was then given to
turn in, and Jeff Hyde, Gaspe TOujours,
and Late Carscallen lay down in this
comfortable bed. Eacn wished to give
way to their captain, but he would not
consent, and he and ClOud-in-the-Sky
wrapped themselves in their blanket
like mummies, covering their heads
completely, and under the arctic sky
they slept alone in an austere and
tenantless world. They never know
how loftily sardonic Nature can be
who have not seen that land where
the mercury freezes in the tubes, and
there is light but no warmth in the smile
of the sun. Not Sturt in the heart of
Australia with the mercury bursting
the fevered tubes, with the finger
nails breaking like brittle glass, with
the ink drying instantly on the pen,
with the hair falling off and fading,
would, if he could, have exchanged
his lot for that of the White Guard.
They are in a frozen endlessness that
stretches away to a world where never
voice Of man or clip of wing or tread
of animal is heard, 1t is the threshold
to the undiscovered country, to that
untouched north whose fields of white
are only furrowed by the giant forces
of the elements; on whose frigid hearth
stone no fire is ever lit; a place where
the electric phantoms Of a nightless
land pass and repass, and are never
still; where the magic needle points
not toward the north but darkly down
ward, downwardl-where the sun never
stretches warm hands to him who dares
confront the terrors Of eternal snow.

"No, Captain; leave me here and push
on to the Manitou Mountain. You
ought to make it in two days. I'm
just as safe here as on the sleds and less
trouble; a blind mans no good. I'll
have a good rest while you're gone,
and then perhaps my eyes will come
out right. My foot is nearly well now"

Theda Rara Last Time Today

Theda Bara closes her engagement at the Lamara today where she is ap- bearing in the William Fox magnificent production of Alexandre Dumas Ca mille" The picture gives Theda Bara's s recognized abilities the widest scope with the result that she is seen in the best characterization in which she has ever appeared. The picture has been lavishly staged, in fact fortune was spent in it's production.
 The star has been surrounded by a most admirable cast which includes such well known talent as Albert Ros- COG, Walter Law, Alice Gale, Claire Whitney and Glen White. As the heroine of this widely read love story, Theda Bara succeeds not only in bring ing to the cinema a character that teens with skill and dramatic force. but she lends to the role an entirely differ ent version than has heretofore been attempted and scores what has been attested as her greatest achievement. The entire production is an artistic as well as dramatic triumph and will doubtless be well received during it's final showings tonight.

BROTHER LOST
 ON DESTROYER
 WORD RECEIVED
Phoenix Woman Advised by Federal Authorities Her Relative Has but Lone
 Chance of Being Alive

Lost when the United States torpedo destroyer Jacob Jones was sunk by German submarine on Thursday night, December 6, or that he is the lone man carried off by the German submarine commander, is the fate of her brother. Wallace Simpson, news of which was brought to the sister. Mrs. Bertha Pharr of 906 West Lincoln street, Phoenix, yesterday.
 Following is the message which was received from the naval bureau by Mrs. Pharr yesterday:
 Washington, D. C., Decem Der Is, 1917 Mrs. Bertha Pharr
 Phoenix. Arizona.
 The bureau deeply regrets to inform you that the name of Wallace Simpson appears in the list of those missing when the Jacob Jones was sunk. and unless Simpson should prove to be the one man captured by the submarine, . hope for his life must be abandoned.
 l.. C. PALMER.
 Wallace Simpson, the missing man, has visited his sister and her hus- band, Mir. and Mrs. J. F. Pharr, several times since they came to Phoenix to live two years ago and is quite well known in this city. Wallace is the only brother of Mrs. Pharr. the father Thomas Simpson, living in Denver. , Wallace had been in the navy for twelve years" said MT. Pharr last night He enlisted in Boston and had worked up in the naval service un- til he had reached the position of cabin steward at the time of the destruction of the vessel He informed us that the crew of the Jacob Jones was consid- cred to be star one as the comman- der. Bagley, is brother Jaw of Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
 The last letter we had received from Wallace was last week He wrote that the Jacob Jones was then off the coast of Ireland. He was 33 years old"
 The bare chance that Wallace Simp- son is alive is that he is the lone man who was carried off by the commander of the German submarine that sunk the Jacob Jones. This may not be known for certain until after the end of the war. However, it is such a small chance that the sister in Phoenix feels certain that her brother was lost with the 72 other members of the crew.

Comedy Bill at the Empress

There is perhaps no better imperso- nator of the comedy western cow puncher than Tom Mix. His antics have delighted thousands of people, who have laughed at his genuine com edy, and who have been thrilled by the desperate chances he takes while astride his faithful horse. Tom Mix is at the Empress today appearing for the last time in another of these Western comedies, and judging from the ap- proval voiced at the opening of the engagement last night the closing showings will be more than well re- ceived.
 In addition to Tom Mix, Mack Sen nett, the famous director who placed the Keystone comedies on the map, of fers his latest Paramount Mack Sen nett production, Are Mattresses Safe" ;" To describe this comedy would be to almost attempt the impossible, for it is not only extremely fast, but the com edy is so spontaneous that it beggars description. The well known hand of Mack Sennett is seen in almost every foot of the film, and his record for successes needs no comment.
 Louise Fazenda, Charlie Murray, Chester Conklin, Mack Swain, Slim Summerville, and Polly Moran are among those present" in the array of talent responsible f or this clever line of comedy.

Dorothy Phillips, one of the prettiest of stars, comes to the Columbia theater today only for presentations of Fri umph," a screen version of Samuel Hopkins Adams narrative originally appearing in Golfers. William Stowell and Lon Chaney, who always assist Miss Phillips in her presentations, will again lead her supporting company. The story of a country girl whose head was turned by her local success in amateur dramatics has been wis., ualiZed in gripping episodes by Joseph De Grasse, the clever director who has given Miss Phillips so many op- portunities to establish herself in fa- vor with the fans" While the orig inal purpose of the presentation is to entertain, there can be no harm in say ing that stage strucK" girls will get an "eye opener when they see how matters turned out for Nell Baxter, the embryo Mary Anderson.

Man Without a Country" at Hip

Man Without Country" at Hip
 Today sees the final screening of what hundreds yesterday pronounced the most remarkable picture ever shown at the Hip. One patron coming out used the theater phone to call a half dozen friends to acvise them to see the picture and men young and old made no effort to conceal the fact that they had been crying through the life recital of this young man who cursed the United States and paid the forfeit of his liberty until he died, an exile aboard a man of war. Never hearing the name of his country, never seeing it's shores, never learning a single tid ing of the land that gave him birth.
 This remarkable picture drew more children yesterday than have been in the Hip since the holiday season of the summer months. It will conclude with today's screening and the man agement requests those who can to at tend the day shows a~ the seating room at night will be at a premium. The Hip has arranged telephone service to answer all questions regarding the screen time and lengcn or the perform ance.

The play will be staged this afternoon. tonight, tomor- row matinee and tomorrow night for the last times.
