IS REAL AMERICAN WONDER
Newly Examined Glacier in an Unex-
pIored Region May Be Biggest
In the Rockies.

We had reached a point of vantage
whence we could overlook the whole
of the unexplored region of the
Rockies from Laurier Pass on the
south to the Lizard region on the
north. No great secret could be cor
cealed from us.
What did we see?
A glance showed us that there was
no heaven-kissing peak taller than
Mount Robson" writes Paul l.. Ha-
worth in %Scribner's Magazine.
But there were several magnificent
mountains higher than any along the
Finlay. Much the finest of all these
lay far to the nOrtheastward. 1t was
q vast affair with three great sum-
mits, two of them peaks, the third and
tallest an immense square block.
This mountain was big enough to
have aroused our enthusiasm. and yet
we gave comparatively scant heed to
1t.
Far down the south slope Of 1t, fill
ing a great valley miles and miles
wide, there flowed a perfectly i'm
mense, ~glistening glacier.
"That Is what makes the Quadacha
white" Joe conceded.
There could be no doubt about 1t.
For a long time l had realized that 1t
would require a goOd-sized rock mill
to grind up enough silt to color such
a big stream as the Quadacha, but
where was a mill big enough for the
job7
We were at least forty miles from
it, for we were not fully twenty miles
west of the works, and from the forks
to the glacier must be at least twenty
more. We were eight as one must
travel in that region. Yet there that
great white mass doomed up far and
away the most notable phenomenon in
that whole magnificent panorama. 1t
is the biggest thing in the whole Fin
lay country. I venture to predict that
when the glacier has been more closely
examined 1t will be found to be one Of
the biggest, If not the very biggest,
in the whole Rocky Mountain system

AS they disappeared after a scramble
through the mouth of the same tun.
mel they had entered by, n IA went
up behind them like the birth of earth
quakes. Looking back over his Shout
der, King saw Yasmini come back into
the holes mouth, to stand framed in 1t
and bow acknowledgment. For the
space of five minutes she stood In the
great hole. smiling and watching the
crowd below. Then she went, and the
guards began to loose random vOlleys

them. In three minutes more the

way.
Kings last impression was of earth's
womb on fire and of hCllions brewing
wrath. The stalactites and the hurry

White Breasted Nuthatch.

The familiar winter bird, the white
breasted nuthatch, is the champion
"steeplejack" Of the world, says an
exchange. 1t can travel headforemost
down any tree trunk in the forest and
can perform other dizzy gymnastic
feats with astounding ease. The nut
hatch makes nothing of thrillers.
The winter hawks occasionally try
to catch asleep this weasel Of a bird.
The nuthatch, however, can scuttle
around a tree trunk, thrice Outpacing
the squirrel at the same trick. The
bird braves the bitter cold, and If II
knew how 1t probably would hearten
us In the winter days with something
mor cheerful than "Quank, quank."
1t does not know how, however, and
so we must take it for its beauty and
Its society and let the rest go.

CHAPTER XVI.

"Athelstan !"
She pronounced his given name al
If she loved the word. standing straight
again and looking into his eyes. There
were high lights in hers that out
cleaned the diamonds on her dress.
"YOur gods and mine have done this
Athelstan. When the gods combine
they lay plans well indeed"
II only know one God" he answered
simply, as a man speaks of the deep
things in his heart.
81 know of many! They love me
They shall love you, too! Many are
better than one! You shall learn to
know my gods, for we are to be part
ners, you and II"
She took his hand again, her eyes
burning with excitement and mysti-
cism and ambition like Il fever. She
seemed to take more than physical pos
session Of him.
"What brought them here? Tell me
that !" she demanded, pointing to the
bed. "You think he brought her? l
tell you she was the spur that drove
him! Is it a wonder that men called
her the Heart of the Hills? l found
them ten years ago and clothed her
and put new linen on their bed, for the
old was all rags and dust. There have
always been hundreds-and sometimes
thOusands-whO knew the secret of
Khinjan caves, but this has been a
secret within a secret. Someone, who
knew the secret before l, sawed those
bracelets through and fitted hinges
and clasps. The men you saw in the
Cavern of Earth's Drink have no
doubt nm the Heart of the Hills
come to life! They shall know thee
as him within u little while! !"
She held his hand d little tighter and
pressed closer to him, laughing softly.
He stood as if made Of iron. and that
only made her laugh the mOre.
"Tales of the Heart Of the Hills
have puzzled the raj, haven't they,
these many years? They sent me to
find the source Of them. Me! They
chose well! There are not many like
me l have found this n dead wOm-
an who was like me. And In ten years,
until you came, l have found no man
like him !"
She tried to look into his eyes, but
he frOwned straight in front Of him.
His native costume and Hangar turban
did not make him seem any less a
nan His jowl, that was beginning to
need shaving, was as grim and as sat-
isfying as the dead Romans. She
stroked his left hand with soft fingers.
Il used to think l knew how to
dance !" she laughed. For ten years
l have taken those pictures Of her for
my model and have striven to learn
what she knew. l have surpassed her!
l used to think I knew how to amuse
myself with mems dreams-until l
found this! Then I dreamed on my
W account! My dream was true, my
warrior! You have come! Our hour
has comet"
She tugged at his hand. He was
hers, soul and harness, If outward
signs could prove 1t.
"Come!" she said. "Is this my hos
pitality? You are weary and hungry.
Comet"
She led him by the hand, for 1t
would have needed brute force to pry

CHAPTER XIv-Continued.

Itewa Gunga spoke truth in Delh
when he assured King he should som,
day wonder at Ynsmini's dancing.
She became joy and bravery ano
youth, She danced n story for then
of the things they knew. She was the
dawn light, touching the distant peaks
She was the wind that follows it
sweeping among the jumpers and kiss
ing each us She came. She was laugh
ter, as the little children laugh when
the cattle are looscd from the byres at
last to feed In the valleys. She was
the scent of spring uprising, She WAS
blossom. She was fruit Very daugh-
ter of the sparkle of warm sun on
snow, She was the Heart of the Hills
herself,
Never was such dancing. Never
such an audience. Never such mad
applause, She danced until the great
rough guards had to run round the
arena with dubbed butts and beat
back trcSpaSSrrS who would have
mobbcd her. And every movement
w. r. ''Hi tii'i ~ !
with which she told her tale was as
purely Greek as the handle ON Kings
knife and the figures on the lamp-bowls
and as the bracelets on her arm.
Greek!
And she half-modern Russian, eX-
girl-wife of a scmi-ciyilizcd hill rajah !.
Who taught her? There is nothing
new. V e in khinjan, in the Hills !"
And when the crowd defeated the
arena guards at last and burst through
the swinging butts to seize her and
fling her high and worship her with
mad barbaric rite. she ran toward the
shield. The four men raised it shout
der high again. She went to it like
a leaf in the wind-sprang on it as if
wings had lifted her, scarce touching
1t with naked toes-nnd leapt Il the
bridge with Il laugh.
She went over the bridge on tiptoes,
like nothing else under heaven but
Yasmini at her bewitchingest. And
without pausinS on the far side she
danced up the hewn stone stairs, dived
into the dark hole and was gone.
"COme!" yelled Ismail in Kings ear.
He could have heard nothing less. for
the cavern was like to burst apart
from the tuInult.
"Whither?" the Afridi shouted in
disgust. docs the wind ask whitheri
Come like the wind and see. They
will remember next that they have n
bone to pick with thee. Come away. !"
That seemed good enough advice. He
followed rs fast as lSmail could Shout
der a way out between the frantic hill
men, d%eafened, stupeticd, numbed, al
most coWed by the ovation they were
giving the Heart of their Hills"

her fingers loose. She drew aside the
leather curtain that hung on a bronze
rod near the bed, led him through it,
and let 1t clash to again behind them.
Now they were in the dark together,
and it was not co~mprehended in her
scheme of things to let circumstance
lie fallow. She pressed his hand, and
sighed. and then hurried, whispering
tender words he could scarcely catch.
When they burst together through a
curtain at the other end Of a passage
in the rock, his skin was red under
the tan and for the first time her eyes
refused to meet his.
"Why did they choose that cav to
sleep inf" she asked him. rs not this
"a better one? Who laid them there2"
He stared about. They were in a
great room far more splendid than the
first. There was a great fountain in
the center splashing in the midst of
flowers. They were cut flowers. The
Hills must have been secured for
them within a day.
There we're great cushioned couches
oil about and two thrones made of
ivory and gold. Between two couches
was a table, laden with golden plates
and a golden jug, on pure white linen.
There were two goblets Of beaten gold
and knives with golden handles and
bronze blades. The whole room
seemed to be drenched In the scent
Yasmini favored, and there was the
same frieze running round all four
walls, with the woman depicted on 1t
dancing.
Come, we shall eat ~ she said. lead
ing him by the hand to a couch. She
took the one facing him, and they lay
like two Romans Of the empire with
the table In between.

Sea.lion Performers.

Any boy who has gone to a circus
knows what remarkable stunts" sea
lions a perform-human beings can't
do some of them. There is, of course,
the trick of balancing a big ball on
their Scouts and tossing 1t from one to
another In that way. The sea-lion Or
chestra ~ not particularly musical, but
the animals can create an awful din
by means of horns, drums and bells.
The more clever. of them can walk up
q ladder and down, with a baton on
theirssnout; while others roll over or
dive when there is a tank. Each train
er tries new tricks with his lions, max.

most common ones.

Eut he did not need to look. The
man or the bed was not SO much like
himself as the woman was like her,
but the resemblance seemed to grow
under his eyes. King was the taller
and the younger by several years, but
the noses were the same, and the
wrinkled foreheads both men had the
SAME firm mouth; both looked like
Romans.

lay hand in hand. and the woman was
so exactly like Yasmini, even to her
clothing and her naked feet, that it
was not possible for Il mar to be self
possessed.
They both seemed asleep. 1t was
minutes before he satisfied himself
that the mans breast did not rise and
fall under the bronze Roman armor
and that the woman's jeweled gauzy
stuff vas still. Imagination played
such tricks with him that in the still
ness he imagined he heard breathing.
After he was sure they were both
dead, he ven nearer, but it was a
minute yet before he knew the woman

Propaganda Film

Arthur Collins has promised London
the sixty seventh annual Christmas
pantomime at old Drury Lane Theatre,
and Albert E. Smith, president Of the
Vitagraph Company of America, as
serted yesterday that he will inaugu-
rate a similar institution for New York
City at prominent theatre during the
holidays, with the difference that the
art of the motion picture will be called
On to show the art of the pantomime to
the children of America Mr.. Smith
already has the scenario for his Christ
mas cinema extravaganza in prepara-
ton, as previously announced. 1t will
involve his idea of eliminating any ref
erence to Germanic ideas from the
children's annual holiday zone advan-
tage over the Drury Lane spectacle
which this will bring" said Mr. Smith,
''is that the London one belongs to that
city alone, while the New York Christ
mas feature will be released through
Vitagraph exchanges simultaneously

Liberty will take the place Of Santa

New Victory Film

The Official War Review, No. 1e, to
be released November 4. is a Victory
film. On the Italian front Italy's
victorious troops, aided by her allies,
press forward across the rugged noun
tains and into the war-swept plains
The great cable way, the Teleforica,
swings guns and munitions to the
front, defying chasms and precipices,
and on the snowy heights sure-footed
dogs carry ammunition to the fighters.
On the Marne French and Americans
prepare to push forward against the
retreating Huns, while long lines of
prisoners keep streaming back. Long
mont is retaken from the foe. In
Palestine the British armies under
General Allenby give the Turks no
rest. Tractors draw great howitzers
across the sands and city after city
yields to the conouerors. On the Amer
lean front is shown the forward push"
of the Yanks and how the soldier boys
from overseas are contributing to the
downfall of German militarism. Victory
is in the air.

My dear H. u.


Approaching as l do your prowess in
the cincmatographic world come to
you with suggestion.
Why not hold up to ridicule some of
the preliminary bunk that producers
persist in peddling TO audiences before
actual motion pictures are finally
placed upon the screen?
Do you really suppose that anybody
outside the motion picture business
cares two whoops who cranked the
camera that photographed the flm7
Did you ever see an audience register
anything but relief at the final termina-
tion of the elaborate preliminaries as
to who directed the picture. who pro-
duced it, who wrote the captions and
who conceived the idea of the final
closeup?
Really, if movie fans actually like
that stuff, why don't you make an ef-
fort to please them? Assuming that
producers have the right idea, you
ought to follow suit.
Why not dish up your stuff some
thing like this:
