 The opening feature of the week will be Lieut.. Jack Pickford, the clever brother of the one and only Mary, in the famous stage story. Mile Min ute Kendall
 Mile a Minute Kendall" was the son of New York financier and he had earned his sobriquet by the pace at which this profligate chap had travelled. He was some stopper.

HIP PRESENTS BILL
 FARNUM IN FEATURE

Sometimes the best press agent in the world finds himself "stumped' for expression on some picture or star be- cause he has used up on others less deserving. the very eXpletives' and ad- jectives he should have saved for the real thing when it came along.
 Just now there is a case in mind. the press agent of the Hip finds him. self forced to use the printed eX- pression of an unbiased New York critic who in so many cases has torn down some picture structure builded by money and brains as ruthfessly as if it were ten-cent toy.
 First William Farnum is coming to the Hip, secondly Farnum known by actor .tnd layman as the one footlignt favorite around whom there never has neen the slightest scandal the one actor to whom all who know him bow in respect for his splendid character and his wonderful ability. is to play True Blue" a western story.
 Peter Milne is the critic of the New York Motion Picture News. the one real unbiased trade paper which calls 6 spade a spade and which is not un- Cer obligations to any maker or star.
 Here is what Milne says Of Farnum and incidentally True Blue" There doesn't seem to exist a word or group of words that adequately describe the William Farnum type of picture: 'Nirile drama of the great outdoors has been employed with such frequency that a picture need only have a shot of a ranch or of the frozen wastes of the north to earn it.
 It only partly describes MT Far nuns pictures. for while ali of his pie lures are virile and of the great out doors, whether they be located west. north or on the sea. it is the Farnum personality that gives to them their particular attraction.
 Here is an actor that makes one murmur 'al man" and ma gnificent' to himself with feeling Of confidence that he is not stretching the point.

CAMARA

At the Lamara, Sunday and Monday.

Three male stars divide the week at the Lamara which starts this morning. First comes Lieut.. Jack Pickford in Mile a Minute Kendall,' for Sunday and Monday, with a Fox comedy. "The Divers Last Kiss" and this gives way to George NJ. Conan, the great New York stage favorite, in a better and faster picture than Broadway Jones'" well remembered here for it's sparkling worth.
 MT. Cohan's new creation is styled Hit the Trail Holiday and is from the play and book of that name. The former had phenomenal run of q year in New York City.
 Conan plays the part of high class bartender with ideals. and his per formance of Hit the Trail Holiday" is reminiscent of Billy Sunday, for it has all the ear marks of the manner in which that clever entertainer works.
 Hit the Trail Holiday" has notions regarding tho way liquor should be served 10 those not able to take care of themselves, and in consequence of his ideals. he gets fired and drifts into a town where a fight is on between the vets and drys. Holiday meets the beautiful daughter of the leader of the drys and joins the campaign on her side.
 The picture is filled with many stir ring bits of by play and those return

disagreeably.
Cueto murmured something to the
effect that the law had placed him in
his position as trustee for the crown,
and should therefore protect him; but
Colonel Cobos respect for the law, it
seemed, was slight. In his view there
was but one law in the land, the law
of force.

CHAPTER VIII.
The Spanish Doubloon.

On the whole, Pancho CuetO's plans
had worked smoothly. After denounc-
Ing the Varona twins as traitors he had
managed to have himself appointed
trustee for the crown, for all their
properties, consummatiOn for which he
had worked from the moment he read
that letter of Esteban'S on the morn
ing after Donna Isabels death. That
there was a treasure Cueto had never
doubted, and, once the place was his
to do with as he chose, he began his
search.
Commencing at the lower edge of the
grounds, he ripped them up with a Sc
ries of deep trenches and cross-cuts.
It was a task that required the labor
of many men for several weeks, and
when it was finished there was scarce
ly growing thing left upon the place.
Only few of the larger trees re-
manned. Cueto was disappointed at
finding nothing, but he was not dis
couraged Next he tore down the old
slave barracoons and the Outbuildings,
after which he completely wrecked the
residence itself. He pulled it apart bit
by bit, brick by brick. He even dug up
its foundations, but without the reward
of so much as a single peseta. FL
nally. when the villa was but a heap
of rubbish and the grounds scar
upon the slope of La Cumbre, he de-
sisted, baffied, incredulous, while all
Matanzas laughed at him. Having sac
rificed his choicest residence, he re-
tired in chagrin to the plantation of
La Joya.
But Cueto was now a man with
grievance. He burned with rage, and
his contempt for the boy and girl he
had wronged soured into hatred. In
time he began to realize also that so
long as they lived they would jeop-
ardiZe his tenure of their property.
Public feeling, at present, was high
there was intense bitterness against all
rebels; bit the war would end some
day. What then? CuetO asked him.

of the weak and oppressed. There

Cursing the name of Varona, Pancho
Cueto armed himself. He did not ven.
ture far alone, and, like Donna Isabel
before him, he began to have bad
dreams at night.
One day a field of Cueto's cane was
burned, and his laborers reported see
ing Esteban and some negroes riding
into the wood. The overseer took
horse within the hour and rode pell'
nell to Matanzas. In the city at this
time was a certain Colonel Cobo, in

marked them as wolves rather thar
