CHAPTER XII.
Traijedi

Ruth Mitchell ran blindly down the
stairs and along the street, feet un.
consciously carrying her to that clos
est OF sanctuaries, her bedchamber.
There it was that she had dreamed
her dreams OF Ellis Hardy and the
happiness that might some day be
theirs; there 1t was that she was TAX.
ing her tumultuous consciousness to
force 1t back into the paths of logic
Walter Kennedy still white and
frightened by his interview with the
young physician, saw her come from
the stairway which he had descended
with such evident willingness less
than half hour before.
Ruth where have you been,
and" he began, approaching as
though to stop her.
Walter, how could YOU" she
sobbed, and lifted her hands to him in
a gesture Of appeal.
why, Ruth"
"Oh, how could you do such a
thing!" she broke in stepping closer to
him and looking keenly into his face.
Then, her voice changing sharply:
Don't try to talk. to me- | know
what has happened this morning, |

know what you have tried to do"
She made as il to go on, but he
Blocked her path.
"YOu wouldn't be friends with
man who would do as he has dOne."
he muttered fiercely.
But she passed on, ignoring. refus-
ing to hear. forgetting even her dis.
gust for Kennedy
She ran the last hundred yards TO
her home ;. jerked open the door, flew
to her room and. hat still on, threw
herself full length on the bed where,
only few weeks before, she had whis-
pered to herself for the first time dec
laration of her love for Hardy.
The torrent of tears loosed itself
then and for many minutes he let the
racking sobs run through her 1.-THE
frame. 1t was relief and when control
came back she found her faculties
cleared and her ability to reason once
more unhampered.
'He is determined; that's the key
note of his character she told her
self, sitting up on the bed and gazing
through the window INFO the dismal
day He has made up his mind ac-
cording TO his standards of belief
and there will be no changing him"
She was silent and the tears tried to
come again. but she drove them back.
He has been honest. with himself
throughout" she went on, speaking
aloud to better assemble her ideas.
Until now, it has been case of keep
ing trust with his professional ideals.
afterward, he will be true to
his belief of citizens duty, and
| and
"Oh can't let it happen! can't"
she declared. 81 can't"
And even as the unhappy cry died
on her lips and she sank to the bed
again, confused, wondering, striving
for way out. Ellis Hardy paced his
Office floor with spirits at the lowest
| ebb.
He had forgotten Bart Sears, had
forgotten his raging scene with Wal
ter Kennedy, had forgotten that peo'
pie were suspecting him of completely
! with the outlaws, perhaps, had forgot
ten all else in the horrible body blow
dealt by his doubling of Ruth Mitchell.
Ii was unfathomable. Yesterday she
cried for the capture of Sears; today.
when he voiced his like belief, she had
covered.
She had denied that Kennedy had
hold on her, had spoken scorn OF him;
then. looking into the street, he saw
her all but throw herself into the
mans arms. frankly and in the open!
Sight of Ruth in close. confidential
conversation with Kennedy had sent
Hardy away from his window, stun
ned. puzzled beyond words
The insidious memory began taunt'
| ing again. Once more he remembered
! how, the morning after the attempt on
the bank. She had told him that Sears
was something to be admired for his
strength of character!
And last night, She had forbidden
him to WOO further, on the plea that
some day he might hate her!
Like "A tocsin her words rang through
and through his memory. He had
never known her: yesterday the fact
| he'd been a charm. today it was mys.
terry that might hide rotten treacberY
the keen, subtle treachery of wo-
man.

1.-THE GREAT LOVE" IS ENTERTAINING
 AND INSTRUCTIVE
Coming to the Best Theatre
 Friday and Saturday.

World-famed as the producer of stu pendous motion picture spectacles, David Wark Griffith is responsible for many of the most celebrated cin- elna triumphs known to the motion give complete list of MT. Griffith's 8 picture productions, mention must be made of "The Birth of Nation" "Intollerance" and his wonderful war picture, Hearts of the World" which was recently presented in New York with enormous success. In all of these tremendous photoplays MT. Griffith has evidenced that remark able directorial talent which has made his productions SO uniformly massive, instructive and entertain ing, and which are recognized as ex- emplars of the highest in cinema art. In "The Great Love-" Mr. Griffith shows the marvellous transformation which, the social structure of England is undergoing as a result of the war, and coupled with this process is a fascinating love story which makes
 this production one of the most re- markable in point of attractiveness, ever produced anywhere. MT. Grif- fith's sensational departures in pho toplay productions are 2 part of cin- ema history, and the mention of his name in connection with any screen offering, invariably excites high an- ticipation for something new and ponderous in the way of advanced technique. None who sees "The Great Love" will be disappointed in MT. Griffith's latest achievement.

The Ukranian obule.Cross.

The UkFdnlaU UODule.CrOSSs
 How the Bolsheviki themselves were double-crossed in the Ukraine; how the Germans toyed with their puppets to disorganize Russia, with disclosures of plans for assassination of loyal Russian leaders, are shown in the following documents and MT. Sisson's accompanying notes:
 Document No. 33.
 (Counter-espionage at the Stavka, Mo-. 63, Jan. 10, 191S)
 To the Commission for Combat ing the Counter-revolution: The commissar on combating the counter revolution in a cipher telegram, No. l235, demanded the sending of special agents to Kieff and Novocherkask.
 There have been sent Comrades Vlasenko, Gavrilchuk and Korablev, who have more than once very suc- cessfully performed information serv- ice The commissar in his cipher telegram indicates that the German and Austrian agents assigned from Petrograd. Lieuts. Ott Kremer, Blum, and Vasilko, are playing a double role, reporting on what is happening at Petrograd, and they carry on an intensive agitation in favor of sep arate peace of the Ukraine with the Central Powers, and for the restor- ing of order. Their work is having success.
 To Siberia have been ordered Com rades Trefilev and Shepshelevich, in connection with your report of the purchase and export of gold by Aus trian prisoners in Sibera.-Director of Counter-espionage Feierabend.
 NOTE-So stands disclosed the manner in which Germany set about to double-cross the Bolshevik ser- wants who in success had become at times uppish in bargaining with their masters. It was not part of the German program to create. in Russia a pdwer which 1t could not at any time control. or. if need be. overturned. It's plan here had the ad- ditional advantage of not only disci- plinng the Petrograd Bclsheviks but also of disunifying Russia still fur ther. It worked out to separate peace with Ukraine and separate peace with northern Russia. Lieut.. Otto is the Konshin afterwards ar- rested for some unknown betrayal. See document No. ?.
