Temperament

Ted was wonder. Every man,
woman and child on the Merlight
"lot," as the big film studio was called.
admitted it; every film fan in Amer
lea proclaimed it from the ''house-
tops" It wasn't just Ned's acting that
was the cause of all the wondermcnt
at the Merlight-it was Ted's defiance
of temperament.
/. Why, actors and actresses who were
not half so famous as Ted Leonard
were allowed to have their days and
even weeks of temperament filings"
but Ted worked right through with
cut one in two years, and he worked
twice as strenuously as any OF the 9TH
er actors, at that.
Ted wasn't one of the bold men"
type OF film actors, either-be was q
typical matinee idol In everything but
disposition and nerve control.
Director Bob Lasbrook was the only
one who didn't comment much on
Ted's wonderful fortitude. LasbrO0k
had been in the film business since
its infancy and before that he had had
long stage experience. HE is going
to come down with a crash soaie OF
these days." Lasbrook murmured to
himself one day. Il never saw the D1an
with the true dramatic spirit who
didn't have the temperament bug, too,
and Ted sure has the dramatic spirit
and then some. When the crash docs
come, look out
The crash did come. It was all be-
cause of the new leading lady. FROM
the day of his first early success Ted
had been starred alone. but now for
some unexplained reason the directors
of the company decided upon cO-star
for him-a famous stage actress VINO
was to make her film debut.
Ted knew what most Of the stage
actresses who sought the movies were
like. He had seen them come up one
by one and 60 down in formation Of
fours and fives. They didn't take. The
movies were meant for young actress
es, not for made-up has-beens. The
camera brought out the lines and

The most wonderful Of ocean flyers
are the butterflies which cross the
ocean in the spring.
Naturalists tell us that one Of the
most amazing sights in the world IS to
see millions Of these delicate creatures,
like a cloud Of tiny pieces Of paper,
flying across the channel from the
continent to English shores, when the
wind Is favorable.
Their stamina and endurance are
extraordinary, and although some fall
exhausted into the sea. the bulk make
a successful crossing. The butterfly

The
LIGHTNING RAIDER
CLEARED OF GUILT.
Z(Fourteenth Episode.)


WI Fang was only slightly wounded
by Lightning's shot SO that he was
able to escape before Tom could over
come the detective and capture him,
Lightning having secured the phial of
germs in the bouquet leaves with Tom
for her home to have her wound dress
ed. Meanwhile the detective who had
followed Lightning reports to the dis
trict attorney and the two who plan to
lay hands on Lightning through WI
Fang. The Wasp is sent by Lightning
to find out how badly WI Fang is
wounded and in spying around Wu's
den is discovered by the Chinaman
who shoots him and wounds him Sc
verely but The Wasp manages to get
back to Lightning and Tom and warn
them that WI is up and about again.
Meanwhile Hop Sing, Wu's right hand
a. gets into trouble. He is kicked
out by WI for smoking opium and
while or a search for the drug is pick
ed up by the police. They give him
the third degree in an attempt to find
his masters whereabouts and when he
remains loyal they send him back to
WI Fang, promising to give the Celes-
tial immunity from all prosecution if
he will show them how to catch Light
ming. When Hop Sing brings this
message to WI Fang he is forgiven his
past offences and given money with
which to go out and buy all the opium
he desires. Hop Sing Immediately en-
banks on an opium jag of the worst
kind and is finally picked up on the
street and taken to a sanitarium.
There Tom in search of a doctor to
dress The Wasp's wound finds him and
~overhears the Celestial in his opium
crazed rawlings, tell that WI Fang is
about to reveal the hiding place of
Lightning and himself to the police in
exchange for a full pardon for his
crimes.
Tom quickly returns to their hiding
place, bringing the doctor to attend to
The Wasp for whom they have formed
a great affection because of his many
services. The old criminal is far too
badly wounded to move and the pair
are in a rather desperate situation
since the police will find them if they
do not move and they do not want to
leave The Wasp there to be arrested
and suffer a long prison sentence for
i, his old offences against the law. So
Lightning hits on a dangerous scheme.
She takes the phial of germs and goes
to the district attorneys office. She
enters over the roof and down the side
of the building and climbing through
a window engages in a struggle with
the astonished official. Finally she
overcomes him and handouts him.
Then she hides him in a closet and
awaits Wu's arrival for she has been
warned that he is on the way to tell
the police where to find her. When
WI enters she holds the phial of germs
aloft and thus holds him powerless to
attack her. Then she compels him to
write a confession clearing her and
Tom of all guilt. Just as she has Sc
cured this valuable document a detec-
tive enters and sensing the situation
starts to arrest WI Fang. The Celes-
tial knowing that now his crimes will
be discovered makes a thrilling leap
from the window and escapes with
Lightning and the detective in full
pursuit.
