INTERESTING ITEMS
ABOUT NAZIMOVA

Despite the fact that she wears the
most luxurious and gorgeous costumes
when appearing in her screen pro-
auctions, Nazimova in private life
wears the most common-sense dresses
she can obtain. The great Russian
actress, now appearing in ''The Heart
of Child, a PERTURBATION of Frank
Danby's novel, in her own household
is the most model of sensible and
economic dressers.
Nazimova finds her relaxation and
recreation from the strenuous work
before the camera each day in music.
She, an amateur violinist of no mean
ability, takes her instrument and goes
over some the favorite Russian folk
lore melodies during an evening after
a firing day at the studios.
The speed with which she mastered
the English language is remark
able sidelight on her character and
a sensational record of its kind. When
she arrived in this county in 1905 she
knew but three English words.
She is being seen in the 'Heart of
a Child at the local theaters Wednes-
day and Thursday.

CHAPTER xV.-contlnued.

Finally the lion lifted a forepsw and
turned the body of the girl half over,
hen he stood again cycling her as
Though stlll undetermined whether life
was extinct or not. Some noise or
odor from the nearby jungle attracted
his attention for a moment. His eyes
did not again return to Jane Clayton,
and presently he left her, walked over
to the remains of Taglat and crouch
ing down upon his kill with his back
toward the girl, proceeded to devour
the ape.
1t was upon this scene that Jane
Clayton at last opened her eyes. In
ured to danger, she maintained her self
possession in the face Of the startling
surprise which her new-found con-
seriousness revealed to her. She saw
that the lion had killed the ape and
that he was devouring his prey less
than fifty feet from where she lay
but what could she do! Her hands and
feet were bound. She must wait then,
IN what patience she could command,
until Numa had eaten and digested the
ape, when, without doubt, he would re-
turn to feast upon her unless, in the
meantime, the dread hyenas should
discover her, or some other Of the nu-
merous prowllng carnivoCa Of the jun
gle.
AS she lay tormented by these
frightful thoughts she suddenly be-
came conscious that the bonds on her
wrists and ankles no longer hurt her,
and then of the fact that her hands
were separated, one lying upon either
ride of her, instead Of both being con-
fined at her back.
For a moment Jane Clayton was
overwhelmed with joy and thanksgv-
ing; but only for a moment What
good vas her new-found liberty in the
face of the frightful beast crouchlng
so close beside her?
She watched the lion narrowly. He
could not see her without turning his
head more than halfway around. She
would attempt a ruse. Silently she
rolled over in the direction OF the near
est tree, and away from the lion, until
she lay again In the same position In
which Numa had left her, but a few
feet farther from him.
Here she lay breathless, watching
the lion; but the beast gave no indica-
ton that he had heard aught to arouse
his suspicious, Again she rolled over
gaining a few more feet and again she
lay in rigid contemplation Of the
beasts back.
The girl was but few PAGES from
the tree-a moment more and she
would be close enough to chance
sprfnging to her feet, throwing caution
aside and making a sudden, bold dash
t:r safety. She was halfway over in
her turn, her face away from the lion
when he suddenly turned his great
head and fastened his eyes upon her
He saw her roll over upon her side
away from him. and then her eyes
were turned again toward him, and the
cold sweat broke from the girls every
pore as she realized that, with life al
most within her grasp, death had
found her out.
For a long time neither the girl nor
the lion moved. The beast lay motion
less, his head turned upon his shoul'
ders and his glarlng eyes fixed upon
the rigid victim, now nearly fifty yards
! away.
Realizing that she could not again
turn without attracting his immediate
and perhaps fatal attention, Jane Clay
