FRA PACIFICO

Just as / opened the hall door to

rang apologetically.
1t was a Franciscan friar who
humbly darkened my door, and he
had come to ask an aims.
Pacifico was the friars name, and
Fra" his designation. He was nc
priest or father, but simple lay
brother of the Franciscans. His
habit was of coarse brown stuff, faded
and threadbare; knotted cord was
girded round his waist; his sandaled
feet were covered with the fine white
dust of a Tuscan highroad. At my
appearance he had lifted the small
black scull-cap which was his sole pro
lection against the fierce sun, and
stood there, bareheaded, twisting ii
apologetically between his fingers.
The friar's embarrassment was great
when he found the door thus sud
denly opened upon him by the signOre

EVA TANGUAY

Eva Ta9guay, whose first film ap- pearance is being made in The Wild Girl whch is released through the Select Exchanges, is oyerturning heaven and earth in an effort to gain possession of Mummy, the wierd looking feathered beast who shares the adventures in the picture
 Rummy is a South American tou- can with rusty black pluumage and prepostefous pill, but his heart is normal and according to al accounts safe in the keeping of Miss Tanguay. In fact it is this transference of his affections from his former mistress to her that has caused all the trouble. For when the little vaudeville queen. rec 'procating Rummys regard. att tempted to purchase the bird she found herself unexpectedly blocked. Rummy's owner refused to sell and Miss Tanguays offer of $500 was turned down.
 With the beginning of work on The Wild Girl Miss Tanguay who plays the part of a gypsy, desired an unusual pet. Rummy was the result. His mistress agreed to accept $3 a day for his services, but as Rummy was gradually worked into scene after scene, it was decided to offer a flat rate for his services throughout the picture Fifty dollars was the amount agreed on and in case of death or accident to the bird, this was to cover Miss Tanguay's indem- nity.
 Rummy became Mss Tanguays S constant companion and no bird was ever more royalty favored. He was groomed and pampered to degree, his breakfast Of two boiled eggs was always prepared for him at four o'clock in the morning and even Stokie, Miss Tanguay's Boston bull terrier treated him with consider ct on. But with the comletion ot the picture came the rift in the lute.
 Despite the fact that his owner had earlier placed a $50 valuation on him, Rummy suddenly became priceless bird and no amount of money could buy him. In conse- quence of which both she and her adorer are inc0nsolable

Never suspecting for a mo- ment, in spite of her protests, tha. she was anything that her dress and war paint did not proclaim, he had laid deep and crafty plan in palm off on nAdrew Slater, a disreputable character who had entry to the best society, this girl of the underworld. Lou was duly trained and primed for her part thinking all the time that Douglass intended to marry her, and Douglass himself was intensely sur prised when he saw what a truly beautiful woman she was under ad- vantageous circumstances It was only half heartedly that he intro duced Slater, who fell into the trap much more rapidly than Douglass liked, and proposed in all good faith. But when Lou discovered how Doing lass intended 10 cheat Slater and what hs real opinion of her had been, t changed the entire aspect of the situation, and she went to Slater's room to voluntarily offer herself But when Slater discovered that Inc would not have to marry Lou. he called mp Douglass and told him that he in- tended to send Lou back tO him the kind of woman that Jim thought her to be.
