CAST.
THE RIDE TO DEATH.
(Fourth Episode.)

The fourth episode of wolves of
Kultur," the patriotic Pathe serial, fea-
turing Leah Baird, shows what is prob
ably the most thrilling automobile
wreck ever pictured-a fall of a car
over the ledge of the Hudson River
Palisades. Hartman, the chief spy
from whom the stolen torpedo plans
were recovered, takes fight. He fears
that the Secret Service agents will
500 be on his track and is hurrying
in his automobile to a new base of
operations when the machine goes
over a cliff and he is killed.
Zaremba, on whom Bob Moore, the
young mining engineer, seeks venge-
ance for deceiving his sister, becomes
the leader of the enemy band and
takes up Hartman's work.
Alice, who has sworn to devote her
life to running down the Hun ~conspir-
ators who slew and robbed her father,
decides to become acquainted with
Zaremba. Through a letter that Hart
man gave her while being held priso-
ner in her house, she meets the spy
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1918-12-14

whom she invites to her home to wit
ness the farewell parade of American
troops.
At Alice's home the spy meets Alice
Brown, wife of a United States Naval
Commander. He is also introduced to
Bob, who recognizes him as the man
who deceived his sister. He follows
Zaremba to the workshop, concealed
in the rear of a book store, where a
torpedo built along the stolen plans is
in the course of construction.
The two men have a terrific fight
but Bob is overcome, bound and drop
ped through a trap into a sewer.
At the Embassy ball Zaremba pays
particular attention to Commander
Browns wife. He knows that she has
the naval code book and in escorting
her home he is able to steal it.
When Alice learns of the loss
through Mrs. Brown, she is certain
that Zaremba stole it and attempts to
overpower him, but when the struggle
seems to be going hopelessly against
her she seiZes a vase and strikes him
over the head with it.
He crumples up senseless. Alice
secures the code book and is about to
go when she is faced by Carter and
another of the gang. She is about to
be overpowered as the episode ends.

hear you are still on the job. Just
keep that new truck in good shape
until | get back because | want a
chance at it. | am sure | will never
worry about getting stuck in the mud
any more, as | have had lots of eX-
p%erience in that line already and eX-
peet lots more, as we have been fight
ing bad roads for some time and it is
still raining, so expect to fight mud
until next Spring, if it is necessary to
stay here that long. While the boys
in the trenches fight the Hun we are
fighting mud to get supplies up to
them. While this is not the best job
in the world, it is one of the best in
the Army. And l have no kick coming
as we get plenty to eat if we get where
it is. And a good place to sleep when
you get a chance, and believe me, l
have learned to sleep when I have
time, whether | am tired or not, as we
never know when it will be necessary
to go without sleep for a long time.
That old saying Eat when you are
hungry and drink when you are dry"
don't go here. You eat and drink
when you can, so as to keep ahead of
the game if possible. But at that it is
a great life and l would not miss it
for a good bit now. A fellow a get
nearly everything he needs owe here.
What you cannot buy at the Y. M. G.
A. or the Red Cross canteens the Gov
eminent issues, so that we do not go
without much. We can buy tobacco
and cigarettes at the Y. M. G. A. and
Army canteens as cheap and cheaper
Than you can at home. That is what
thew do with the money they collect
at home. If it were not for the Y. M.
we would be out of luck for writing
paper most of the time. But they al
ways keep us well supplied. Well, my
candle is getting short so | will close
now. Remember me to the boys in the
company, and don't forget your old
bed-fellow,

sents an expenditure Of approximate
ly $4,000. II is constructed Of brick
with terra Gotta trimmings and clas-
sic In style. and is the largest struc-
ture on the grounds. II u $50 feet
