on two wheels with thills out in front
Just like japanese iinrikisha. Th.

he went at swift trot. They bumned
down the steps, swirled around the cor
ner. and logged out into the country
IL Peggy hadn't hung ON tight sb,
would have been Jared out at the very
first bump.
After time the Genie turned aside
| from the regular road and began TO
climb rocky, forest covered hills The
two wheeled cart bounced and iounccd
until Peggy's teeth ratified.
Where are you going:" she cried.
i've never seen this place before"
This is the border of Story Book

along q bit faster.
Cant you 60 slower? I'm getting

the Genie put on fresh speed.

answer puzzled Peggy, as she never

WHO is Red Bcard?' she asked
''IIe is Blue Boards brother,' gasped
the Genie, jerking the cart over mass
of boulders at the top of the hill and
! starting at full speed down slope that
led into a beautiful valley on the other
side.
"Oh. is he as cruel as Blue Beard?"
cried Peggy. feeling thrill of alarm.
Ten times as suel." replied the
Genie. That's why he is going to
marry ten wives This astonishing
news so startled Peggy that she almost
bounded out of the cart.
Stop she ordered. i've changed
my mind. don't want to go to Story

tones of despair. "I've already passed
the border, and am now under the spell
of Red Boards powerful magic. ! can't
turn back"
1t seemed too true. AS if pulled by
q magnet Of intense strength he rushed
down the steep hill, his pace growing
more and more reckless. And looking
ahead Peggy saw what seemed to be
drawing him, a great castle set amid
towering trees at the edge of a forest.
! On the lawn in front of the castle sat
swarthy Turk surrounded by attend
ants and slaves. With shivcr OF
drcaf Peggy saw that the Turks face
was covered with whiskers of fiery hue.

"The Four Flusher." !"

South American intrigue is the
background for a spirited demonstra-
tion of American resourcefulness. and
pluck in "The Four Flusher," the
new comedy-drama featuring Hale
Hamilton at Crandalls Theater.
The hero of this romantic camera
drama is one Lon Withers, a clerk,
who is tipped off by friend in the
tropics that Senior Emanuelo Romez
is coming to the states to secure the
services of a competent confidential
secretary. Withers, being a young
man of ideas, saves every penny he
can get his hands on to throw a
front" when the Caribbean magnate
appears. Into his secret he takes his
stenographer. Suzanne Brooks. and
Jimmie, the Office boy. Jimmie serves
as chauffeur of the hired automobile,
and Suzanne as manager of the elab-
crate offices opened in an expensive
suite in a fashionable hotel. At the
expiration of the two weeks allot-
ted for the consummation of the deal
Lon finds himself practically bank
rupt, and Senor Romez reaches the
same state through the skillful
scheming of a band of conspirators
who have followed him from his own
country.
1t is at this juncture that Withers
really comes to life, abandons all pre-
tense and sets determinedly about 1t
to apprehend the plotters and fully
