C0LUMBIA-"Better Times"

Home life is the center about which
is woven a joyous. laughing, happy
story in Better Times" presented
yesterday at the Columbia.
One of the features of the picture is
the delightful figure of contrast Of
fered between Nancy Scroggs. hero
Inc. a girl who is looking toward the
bright side always, and her antithe-
sis in life, old Ezra Scroggs. different
from her in everything except the
last name. He is sullen, gloomy and
grouchy. looking always for the
worst and making generally dark
background for the sunny work of
the heroine.
The play is human above all, and
there runs through it one of the most
human currents of humor, with a
dash Of sorrow to make it real life
MIS- Whitaker. queen of her house
hold. offers in the picture a warning
TO prospective husbands as to what
may develop in matrimony.
The card sharp, suspicious girl and
other unusual characters of the filn
seem to be much more than screen
shadows. Za-Su Pitts handles the role
of Nancy Scroggs as If she had known
the girl and her whimsical manner
isms since childhood. A short COM
edy, travel film and a news reel are
added attractions.

"The Firing Line. F."

"The Firing Line" the photoplay at
Moores Rialto this week, is not
war picture, but deals with life's
firing line. 1t is clever adaptation
of Robert W. Chambers well known
story. The principal theme is the
love of two men for each other. The
one marries the girl" and ascer
tans that she loves the other. He
then gets out of the way. through
self-destruction. so that his FRIEND
and his sweetheart can live happy
ever after.
Irene Castle. the heroine, makes
every point possible in the story
striking one. holding the interest an-
abated to the close of the play. She
has the role of a girl who has been
adopted. by rich people. from found
ling asylum. and is not told the fact
until she has grown to womanhood.
The company supporting Miss Castle
is excellent even to the smallest
characters. The gowns and scenes
carry the audience into the circles
where wealth obtains. The photo
graph work is very good.

aters. in which Alice Brady is shown
in the dual role of Tiny" and vi
sisters as different in character, but
as alike in appearance, as 1t is pos
sible to conceive them.
Miss Brady's act is clearly brought
out in her portrayal of the sister who
would play fair, and the one who does
not want to. The farce abounds in
situations full of possibilities for
humor, chief of which is that of
bridegroom unable to tell whether ne
holds in his arms his wife or her twin
sister.
The perplexing story is made pos
sible by the whimsical desire of WI
to bid a last farewell to a dear boy
the evening before her marriage. and
the unselfish wish of Tiny" the twin
sister. to save WI from doing this
very thing. 1t is a devotion SO per
cent for Tiny and 40 for her sister. for
Tiny is rather fond of the young man
herself. AS the play develops. with
the young mans soulful kiss, the per
centage of chances changes to l for
vi and 80 for Tiny.

BOGUS MONEYPL
BoIshevists Planned to Flood
Country With Counterfeit
to Create Unrest.

Plans of the bolsheviki of Russia,
Austria. Germany and other Euro
pean countries to flood the United
States with counterfeit paper money
are the latest phase of the anarchis-
tic efforts to overthrow the govern
ment Discovery of the plot was due
to the work of government secret
agents in Europe. it was learned to-
day, Army intelligence service men
taking a prominent part in working
up the case.
The purpose of the counterfeit
money plot. as was the case in Rus
STA. is to create unrest and alarm
by flooding this country with bogus
bank and United States notes to such
an extent as to unbalance, if not to
destroy credit. The idea. publicly an
nounced by the LeninTrotsky regime
in Russia, was to print counterfeit
paper money in such tremendous
quantities as to make banks and in
dividuals so suspicious of any paper
currency that even genuine notes
would be subject to scrutiny SO close
as to make them difficult to pass.
BY this means as Nicolai Lenin de-
clared some time ago, it was believed
the monetary systems of the entire
world might ultimately be destroyed.

EPISODE IS
FATE'S VERDICT

Imprisoned in the sliding house
which they knew must in a moment
more topple from the verge Of the cliff
and be smashed into matchwood on the
rocks at the bottom Of the canyon,
John and Rainface clung to whatever
object was handiest. When the shack
was momentarily checked at the brink
by the stump and while the Spider
was creeping forward to lasten the
rope around The obstruction that 1t
might be jerked away and the building
permitted to fall, the pair within seized
the brief moment Of respite to tear
one Of the loosely fastened planks from
the floor.
As they made the opening they heard
their names called from below and
glanced down. But short distance
below they saw the upturned face Of
the old hermit who was standing upon
q narrow ledge just beneath the over
bang Of the cliff.
"Come down. Hurryw he called
softly, and the pair lost no time in
obeying. Lowering themselves through
the opening made by the removed
board they dropped to the ledge, be-
ing caught as they fell by the one who
stood below. Safe once more, they
crowded themselves against the face
of the cliff t. escape, if possible, be-
ing dashed into the depths by the
structure just above their heads when
It should cone roaring down. A mo-
ment later it swept by them, brushing
their bodies In it's descent.
From the lip Of the cliff the Spider
pointed down into the depths at the
splintered remnants Of what once had
been the shack. Then he turned to
Morgan.
@How about the gold?" he demand
ed. The Hawk laughed.
'aThe gold is safe enough. Weli get
1t later. We might as well be getting
away from lere."
AS they got into their saddles pre-
paratory to riding away, Morgan,
glancing over his men, noticed the alb
sence of the assayer. Not wishing the
inmates of the home house alarmed
as yet, he decided that they should 60
back and look for him. At once they
wheeled their horses and started of
on lope.
Their pursuit was fruitless. The
man of whom they were in search, hav-
Ing become suspicious of the gang

Morgan, had taken advantage of their
excitement in the battle about the
house and mounting his horse sour

cabin. Ethel, hearing him come gal
Looping up, ran to the door just as the
approaching man leaped from the sad
die. Greatly agitated he called to her.

rived upon the ledge they pursued
their way along it, Blackie now in adj
vance.
They peered around a projecting
rock and caught sight Of the villains
busily at work at the far end Of the
cave. Sneaking inside very quietly
they arrived at the spot where Ethel
lay bound, and cutting her fetters
John lifted her in his arms and bore
her into the tunnel. There, embracing
her, he spoke softly:
"Wait for me. jam going back
after Bridget" A moment later and
he had reached the Irish woman. She
whispered to him.
"Be aisy. They're up to some dirty
wurruck, Misther John"
At that instant the gun butt of the
treacherous Blackie falling upon the
head Ct the bending man, he dropped
heavily to the floor. In an instant he
was upon his feet, his revolver In his
hand. The traitor was already in the
act Of delivering a second blow when
the weapon of Davis flashed.
"I'll get you anyway, you traitor,
he cried, as he sent bullet through
the would-be assassin's body. But be-
fore he could repeat the shot the gang
was upon him. The desperate battle
which followed ragged from wall to
wall of the cave but eventually the
lone man was pulled down, bound and
laid next to Bridget.

cabin and safety. After it is all over,
we'll come back for the treasure"
One by one the three death fuses
were fired. The Hawk and others,
pausing for a moment at the tunnel
mouth to watch the sparks creep on,
teered the two bound victims whom
they were leaving behind to be blown
to atoms. With a final curse upon
them, Morgan led his companions
through the tunnel toward the house.
AS they started, John rolling over and
over, held his wrists to the streak Of
fire that was creeping along the floor
on its way to the dynamite, and re-
gardless Of burnt flesh pressed his
bonds upon it.
As the retreating gang was about to
pass around bend in the tunnel
which would afford them safety from
the forthcoming blast, a door in the
roof flew open, and throwing their
eyes upward they saw themselves
covered by four heavy revolvers. two
in the hands each Of the hermit and
Rainface. With death from the black
muzzles staring them in the face and
the rapidly burning fuses at their
backs, they threw up their hands with
wild cries for mercy. Grimly the her
NIT called to John, who with his
bonds burned through now sprang to
his feet.
"Pass up that woman-quick." !"
Raising Bridget in his arms Davis
showed her through the trap, an in
slant later following her and slam
ming the door shut.
With their only hope lying in ex-
tinguishing the racing fuses, the out
laws rushed madly back; stamping,
tearing at the walls, impeding each
others efforts, fighting savagely
among themselves.
Ethel. having regained the ledge,
heard the wild ye!ls of the impris-
oned outlaws and paused in wonder
ment. As she did SO there was roar
that shook the mountain to it's founda-
ton, binding flash and stream of
fire and smoke that shot from the
opening and far out across the val
lev. In it's midst she saw the body of
the Spider spinning in the air and
with a shudder watched it as it made
its flight to the jagged rocks far be-
low. The next instant some object
fell at her feet, and with little cry
of fright she sprang back. 1t was a
rope blown there by the blast, and
with a quick glance about which took
in her surroundings, she picked it up.
Out of the mine shaft John, the her
NIT, Bridget and Rainface emerged to
be greeted by the assayer and the
engineers. Davis rushed eagerly for
ward.
'Where is Ethel?" he demanded. AS
none answered, he pushed them aside
and went hurrying away.
"Then she must be where I left her
on the ledge" Running to the spot,
he found the rope which he and
Blackie had used still hanging there,
and descended, followed by Rainface,
who had closely pursued him. There
they tried the entrance, but 1T was
blocked forever by the huge masses
Of rock loosened by the explosion, and
they turned their eyes down into the
valley. Far below upon the rocks they
made out the broken remains of what
once had been the Spider.
Plunged into the depths Of despair,
the pair slowly pursued their home
ward way.

With cry Of alarm the girl whirl-
ed and went running into the house.
A moment later she appeared with
Bridget, the girl bearing a rifle and
pistol; the cook a double-barreled saw
ed-off shotgun. Calling to the man
that they could make better time over
the ridge on foot, he turned his horse
loose and fell in at their sides. Run
ming as fast as they could they mount
ed the trail.
As the house went laundering down
into space, John turned to the hermit
and thrust out his hand.

author Of all this deviltry, but it seems
I was grievously mistaken" Grimly

mo. Him good man. Morgan and

Keenly Davis surveyed their res
cuer up and down, running his hand
across his brow as he strove to fresh
en- his memory.
IT seem to know you," he said
slowly, "and yet your name" A
smile crossed the face Of their savior.
II think we had best go back to the
cabin and look after the woman
folks" he interrupted. GAS for my
name, there is time enough for that"
Thought Of possible danger to Ethel
spurred Davis into instant acquies-
cence.
As they emerged from the valley
near the cabin, low exclamation
from the hermit caused them to look
back. Morgan and his gang were al
ready in sight and headed for them,
and at once they broke into run.
Dashing into the cabin, John called
loudly for Ethel but no reply came,
and a quick search revealed the emp
tiness of the house. Hastily barring
the doors they made ready for the at
tack which they knew would soon fol-
low.
Morgan at sight Of the assayer's
horse and the running three, turned
to the Spider with a wicked oath.
Course them, they have gotten
away again. 1t surely beats me. And
that fool assayer has Joined them.
Take half the men and ride back. We
may bag something." The Spider
with command to number Of the
miners, went riding away at their
head, while the Hawk and his party
dismounted. Taking advantage OF
whatever shelter they could find they
opened fire upon the house.
Ethel and her party hearing the ap-
proach Of the Spiders gang, ran from
the trail and climbed to a little ledge
over which brow of the cliff dropped.
AS the approaching party opened fire
upon them, they threw themselves fiat
upon the rock and returned it, and the
assailants, seeing the impossibility OF
rushing the place, scattered and took
to shelter. A careful scanning of the
situation convincing the Spider that
an attack from above the ledge might
be successful. he dispatched two men
to make a detour and get above it,
while he and the rest kept up their
fire. One of their bullets, glancing
from a rock, pierced the assayer's
arm and his weapon dropped. In an
instant the Irish woman had dropped
her formidable gun, seized the wound
