A Baroness in Pictures.

Valkrien, who won the government prize for the most beautiful woman in Denmark, is a success in motion pictures. So she is ready to admit that her real name is Baroness De witz.
 Manager Spickett states that Bar oness Dewitz will be seen at the Palace Theatre Saturday in an un usual Pathe Gold Rooster Play oi reincarnation and love, entitled "The Image Maker" She was a famous dancer and actress in Denmark, but after she married Baron Dewitz, she retired. The call of the camera was too strong, however. and as Valky rien she went into motion pictures
 The rumor that she was a Baron ess was noised about, but it was not until she was assured of success that Baroness Dewitz admitted to her friends that it was she was was Val kyrien. At first she feared that her society friends would snub her because she danced in bare feet and light flowing robes, but she found that Americans are not narrowmind' ed prudes, and she won more friends.

John l.. Sullivan did more to popularize boxing than any dozen men that ever lived. He was the first outstanding pugilist to use box. ing gloves. He was the Greatest Roman of Them All'' who lifted pug ilism from sport that was under ban almost everywhere to undreamed of heights of popularity.
 Before John L. became champion in 1882 pugilism was an under cover" sport much as is dog and cock fighting today. It was game dominated largely by gamblers and

| Come Across
 For Uncle Sam.

William s. Hart, of moving picture fame, is one of the enthusiastic ad vocates for a general response to the Governments appeal for subscrip tions to it's Liberty Loans Here is what Hart says:
 Every American who has accept ed the great blessing that God has given, and has lived the large and free life bought by the blood oi many brave and devoted men, and passed on to us priceless heritage has a chance now to repay.
 It is for him at this instant te testify to the world what he knows he owes his country.
 He should at once, and cheerfuliy give a little of his goods that his country has secured for him.
 He should promptly say to the world, which is listening, and per haps cynically criticising, When my country asks me for life or for mon ey I cheerfully give both."
 He should demonstrate that pa triotism is something greater and more sacred than an idle sentiment
 And in contributing according to his means for the high purpose plac ed before him by his President, he should appreciate that in reality he is making no gift, but is investing in the greatest securitity in the world-the pledge of the United States of America"

 Months after Sullivan whipped Ky an, theatrical manager decided it might be a money-making stunt to send the champion on tour. 9th CTS in his profession termed the ex- pertinent "a fools trick" They felt that pugilist appearing on the stage would deerease-rather than increase the crowds. But the theat- rical man went through with his offer, Sullivan accepted-and both reaped a golden harvest.
 Billy Madden, who was John L.'s manager, announced at the outset of the tour that John l.. would meet all corners in four round glove con- tests and that $100 will be given to any man that Sullivan cannot stop Hi fonr, ffasq2r9ds,,'7 Madden was one of the shrewdest fellows ever con nected with the. ring game-and a wonderful publicity getter.

Last Evening.
 Dustin Farnum was the big attrac- tion at the Palace Theatre last night
 when he appeared on the screen in William Fox's latest photoplay, "Du rand of the Bad Lands" Mr Farnum has a mighty fine
 story in "Durand of the Bad Lands, and in every part of the tale he shows his masterly acting to fine effect He roams the Bad Lands as
 an outlaw, He steals cattle with as shrewd an instinct for covering up his trail as any man who ever
 was wanted" in those old by-gone days But for woman or child his hand is raised only to help. He rescues three children from Indians who massacre everyone else in the settlement. He falls in love with a girl who sees only the big, noble side of his character. And when he realizes his life is wrong, it is to
 these he goes and ever after he's
 as useful citizen as he was bad,

CHAPTER ~.
The Mystery of the Missing.

XETHEN Charlie 0ox rode down to
| wv the Wolverine a month or 80
later, tied his horse under the
| shed and came up to the cabin as
though he knew Of no better place in
all the world; when he greeted ''mom-
mic" as though she were something
precious in his sight and talked with
her about the things she was most in
terested in and actually made her feel
as if he were immensely interested al
so, Billy Louise simply could not help
admiring him and liking him for his
frank good nature and his kindness.
She had never before met a man just
like Charlie Fox, though she had known
many who were what Ward once called
''parlor broke"
1t was not until Charlie was leaving
that he gave Billy Louise a hint that
his errand was not yet accomplished.
She walked down with him to where
his horse was tied and so gave him a
bloom against the dull brown Of the
chance to speak what was in his mind.
You know, / hate to mention little
worries before your mother" he said.
'Those pathetic eyes of hers make me
ashamed to bother her with a thing.
But / am worried, Miss Louise. / came
over to ask you If you've seen anything

They disappeared a week ago, and
can't find any trace of them. I've been
looking all through the hills, but can't
locate them"

II hate to think that. Aunt Martha
insists that Is what we are up against,
but"
"Well, she knows more about it than
you do, believe me. If you'll let down
the bars, Mr.. Fox, I'll hit the trail,
and if find out anything Ill let you
know at once"
When she rode over. the bleak up
land she caught herself wishing that
she might talk the thing over with
Ward. He would know just what
ought to be done. But winter was CON-
ing, and she would drive her stock
down into the fields she had ready.
They would be safe there surely. Still,
she wished Ward would come. She
wanted to talk it over with a man who
understood and who knew more about
such things than she did.
The fate of the four heifer calves be-
came permanently wrapped In the
blank fog of mystery. Billy Louise
watched for them when she rode out in
the hills and spent a good deal Of time
heretofore given over to dreaming In
trying to solve the riddle Of their dis
ppearance Charlie Fox insisted upon
keeping to the theory that they had
merely strayed. Marthy grumbled
over the loss, and Ward

added encouragingly.

and scrubbed floor.
The nephew, striding along behind
Marthy and showing head and shout
ders above her, seemed not to resent
any little mischance, such as muddy
water firted upon him from a broom.
He grinned reminiscently as he came
up, shook hands with the two of them
and did not let his glance dwell too
long or too often upon Billy Louise nor
too briefly upon Ward.
When Ward went to the stable after
Blue half an hour later Charlie Fox
went with him. His manner when they
were alone was different, not so exub-
erantly cheerful-more frank and prac-
tical.
Honest, it fioored me completely to

over, he remembered gratefully that
