community like this. | could hardly
have believed that anywhere in Ne

PHOTO PLAY. OrFEr2lNo.c. FoR.. TO-DAY,

TON MIX in Rough Riding Ro-
nance" at the Rialto, has
proved to be all that is
claimed for it. A love story of the
most admirable sort, it yet has thrills
with hair-raising stunts performed
by Mix in his self-imposed task of
aiding princess in distress. This is
the best picture that Mix has been
seen in; no comedy so-simple, no ro-
nance more wholesome, no action
more thrilling. 1t is a play that
haunts one with delightful memories.
The orchestra at the Rialto should
be praised for the music they have
been playing lately. as they have to
meet any picture that comes along;
they were in harmony with every
thing that was done in "The Miracle
Man. and now this entirely differ
ent picture gives them opportunities
to show how versatile they are, as
the music for Rough Riding Ro-
nance" was very well chosen.

of young lumberman. Peter B.
Kyne, author of this we'll known

where the scenes of this story are
laid. The actual locations described
in the novel were utilized in filming

The cast, that is in support of Reid,
particularly the male members, give
striking performances, and they help
to make this picture one of the best

will look for other pictures that he
will direct in the future.

with its two inmates was matter OF
the greatest mystery, and the reap
pearance Of the missing ones was the
occasion for many congratulations.
Escaping the attentions Of the party
as soon as possible, Ethel and John
retired to tents to secure the dry cloth
ing of which they were so much In
need.
Warm and dry again, the girl
emerged into the open, and catching
sight of John nearby, secretly notion
ed that he follow her. he did so, pres
emily catching up with her in a small
'clump Of trees in the midst of which
dubbed q large spring. Compelling
him to sit at her feet, she parted the
hair upon the crown Of his head until
the long cut made by his fall against
the edge of the house lay revealed.
Despite his protests that it was but a
scratch, she began laving it with cool
water from the spring, finishing by
bandaging it with liniment from a
small bottle which she had brought.
he caught her hand and lifted it.
IF there is so much magic in your
hands, what must there be in your
lips?" he asked with little laugh.
sTry them-and find out" she laugh
ed, flushing.
He got up on his feet, and bow
ing his face, kissed her. AS he did so
q knife sang through the space which
his head the instant before had occu-
pied, plunging into the spring with a
loud splash. With little scream, the
girl sprang back, while John, raising
his head, stood with eyes fixed upon
the fringe of brush which bounded the
little clearing in which they stood.
Then as his hand sought his revolver,
1.-THE man Blackie stepped slowly forth.
"What do you mean?'' demanded
tJohn as his weapon began to creep
Into sight. The other paused.
Mean? just seen trout jump In
THAT brook and stepped in here to see
lie could get look at him. Didn't
suspect you and the miss was here,
isir." So innocent and apologetic was
his manner that Davis thrust the weap-
'on back into its place.
j. 1--WE are all ready to start as soon
as you folks are," continued Blackie'
and with a nod signifying their read
;iness to depart, they followed him back
to camp. Finding everything packed
and in readiness, John and the girl
rode off up the trail, leaving the more
slowly moving pack train to follow. :
Meanwhile Blackie, enraged by bis
failure in throwing the knife, accom-
panied by the Spider and Fream, by
taking short cut and urging their
horses, had reached q spot some dis
:tance ahead where a foot bridge OF
logs crossed q narrow but deep gully
Throwing themselves from their sad
dies they began to work furiously.
First, removing number Of the
poles which composed the floor Of the
bridge, they inserted in their place
cracked and rotten saplings which
would scarcely bear the weight Of q
man, let alone a horse. Having thus
so weakened section Of the bridge
that no horseman could cross, they Gov
cred the evidence Of their deed with
dirt and hastily withdrew from sight
Meanwhile John and Ethel, riding
side by side, reached the deep gulcf

it closely, for though they had often
crossed it before, they never did so
without the precaution Of a prelimi-
nary scanning of the frail-looking
structure. To their eyes it lay as safe
as it had been when they passed that
way the week before on their journey
60 the city, and with laugh the man
urged his animal forward.
ut looks all right, but you had bet
ter let me go ahead, girl" he called
over his shoulder and, halted by his
words, Ethel drew rein and followed
him with loving and anxious eyes as
he advanced. For few steps all went
we'll; then the inevitable happened.
His horse, stepping upon the rotten
saplings placed there by the murder
ous-minded Blackie and his compan-
ions, gave way with a crash, and as a
rocket falls so did the horse shoot
! through the opening. John, throwing
out an arm, managed to secure hold
upon a side log and checked himself,
but the horse went hurtling and roll
ing far down into the depths, to end
up a mangled mass upon the rocks be-
low.
Ohe short, sharp cry burst from the
lips Of the girl, then she became still
as death. Seeing that the man she
loved was hanging by his finger tips
to the log and making desperate ef.
forts to pull himself up, she slipped
from the saddle and with wildly beat
ing heart and dizzy brain, crept out
upon the structure to the opening
through which the ill-fated steed had
plunged. Reaching the mans side, she
seized him by the collar and began
lifting with all her strength. Slender
though she was, her strength was not
inconsiderable, and with her aid he
quickly managed to Chamber over the
edge. Scarcely had he regained his
feet than Morgan came riding up at
the head of the train. He stared at
the hole.
'If you haven't got more luck, Dav'
is! Well, I'm certainly glad you didn't
follow that horse down there. Now
who'd have thought that bridge would
go to the bad that way?" Calling q
number of men, the opening was quick
ly and safely repaired and the outfit
continued on its way.
They arrived at the home house, to
see Bridget flying down the trail to
meet them. Tears streamed from the
honest Irish woman's face as she
seized the girl in her mighty arms and
pressed her to her bosom, patting hel
back, laughing, grooming over her as
a mother does over a child. She wrune
Johns hand with nearly mans
strength, and would have embraced
him also In her Joy had he not Tended
her off with a laugh and the hint that
they were all nearly starved. Thus re
minded Of her duties, she gathered uI
her skirts and went flying back to thu
kitchen nearly as fast as she hat

being Immediately followed by tre

set before them more than repaid then
for all the perils and hardships through
which they had gone.
