CHAPTER X.
A CLEANUP.

.-rH- E-L ~ rLfEAt #-lA..
A slight. accident occurred at the
Jail, one so unimportant that Seaman
the jailer did not think it worth re-
porting to his chief. Blackwell while
eating, knocked a glass from the table
and broke it on the cement floor Of his
cell.
From the little table in his room he
pried loose one Of the corner braces.
At night he-scraped away at this with
his bit of glass until the wood began
to take the shape Of a revolver. This
he carefully BACKED with the ink
brought him by his guard. TO the end
of his weapon he fitted an iron washer
taken from the bedstead. Then he
waited for his opportunity.
His chance came through the good
nature of Seaman. Blackwell pre-
tended to be out of chewing tobacco
and asked the guard to buy him some.
About ten o'clock Scanlan returned
and. brought the tobacco to his pris-
Cavalier County farmers press. (Langdon, N.D.) 1920-1921, 1920-06-17

oner. AS he passed the plug through
the grating Blackwell's fingers closed
around his wrist and drew the man
close to the iron lattice work. Stimuli
taneously a cold rim was pressed
against the temple of the guard.
Don't move, or I'll fill you full of
holes" the convict warned.
Seaman did not move, not until the
man in the cell gave the word. Then
he obeyed orders to the letter. His
right hand found the bunch of keys,
fitted the correct one to the door and
unlocked it according to instructions.
Not until he was relieved of his wea-
pom did Blackwell release him. The
jailer was backed into the cell, gagged
with a piece of torn bedding and left
locked up as securely as the other had
been a few minutes earlier.
The convict made his way down
stairs, opened the outer door with the
bunch of keys he had taken from Scan
Ian, locked it behind him and slipped
into the first alley that offered refuge.
Two hours later he stole a horse from
an irrigated ranch near town. Within
t%wenty-four hours he had reached the
Soapy Stone horse ranch and safety.
After this the plans for the raid on
the Texas, Arizona & Pacific flyer
moved swiftly to a head. Soapy Stone
and Sam dropped into Saguache in
conspicuously one evening. Next day
Stone rode down to Tin Cup to look
we the ground. Maloney telephoned
their movements to the Circle G and
to the Hashknife. This brought to
Saguache Luck Cullison, Curly Elan
drau and Stats Davis. Bucky O'Connor
had been called to Douglas on impor-
tant business and could not lend his
help.
Luck, Curly and Dick Maloney had
already ridden over the country sur
rounding the scene Of the projected
holdup. They had decided that the
robbery would probably take place at
the depot, so that the outlaws could
get the agent to stop the flyer without
arousing suspicion. In a pocket Of the
hills back Of the station a camp had
been selected, its site well back from
any trail and so situated that from it
one could command a view of Tin Cup.
The owner Of the Circle 9 selected
three Of his close-mouthed riders
Sweeney, Jake and Buck were the
ones he chose-to hold the camp with
him until after the robbery. The only
signal they needed al the stopping Of
the Flyer at Tin Cup. Then they would
come pounding down from the hills in
time to catch the robbers before they
had got through with their work. Ma
loney or Curly would be on the train

Fendrick shrugged. "I've a notion

It's true enough what he says. I did

The officer produced it from his safe.

With a paper knife Bucky ripped the
flap and took out a sheet Of paper.
There's something else in there"
Fendrick suggested.
That something else proved to be a
piece Of paper folded tightly, which,
being opened, disclosed a key.
O'Connor read aloud the letter:
ITO Nicholas Bolt, Sheriff, or Bucky
O'Ccnnor, Lieutenant Of Rangers:
Having come into possession of a
little valise which is not mine, l am
getting rid Of it in the following man
ner. I have rented a large safety-de-
post box at the Cattleman's National
bank and have put into it the valise
with the lock still unbroken. The key
is inclosed herewith. Shaw, the cash
Ter, will tell you that when this box
was rented I gave explicit orders it
should be opened only by the men
whose names are given in an envelope
left with him, not even excepting N.Y.

exploded.

murmured. He was enjoying greatly

That's an easy one, Luck. He
wanted to throw the burden Of the
robbery on you," Bucky explained.
well, I've got to be shown"
In the morning he was shown. Shaw
confirmed exactly what Fendrick had
said. He produced a sealed envelope.
Within this was a sheet of paper, upon
which were written two lines:
Box 2143 is to be opened only by
Sheriff Bolt or Lieutenant Bucky
ONConnor Of the Rangers, and before
witnesses.
"CASS FENDRICK."
From the safety-deposit vault Bucky
drew a large package wrapped in yell
low paper. He cut the string tore
away the covering and disclosed a
leather satchel. Perry Hawley, the
local manager of the Western & South
ern Express company, fitted to this
a key and took out a sealed bundle.
This he ripped open before them all.
Inside was found the sum of twenty
thousand dollars in crisp new bills.

Beryl Mercer's Acting

seryI Mercer. who will be seen in

week.
Whom one considers that Miss
dercer is a young woman, and a

III the more unusual to find her
ager to hide her personality under
gray wig and other attributes of

american audiences. yet such a sac
ifice is not without its compensa-

Eistinct place for herself as one of

battlers extraordinary!
For the benefit of a battery of
cameras. these two talented MEM
bers of Cecil B. DeMille's all-star
motion picture company recently
staged a battle that will go down
in screen history as one Of the
widest and most destructive hand
to-hand conflicts ever filmed.
The fight was promoted by Cecil
B. DeMille in the interests of his
latest Paramount Aircraft produc-
tion, why Change Your Wife,"
which opens its second consecutive
week of showing at Moore's Garden
Theater today. Mr.. DeMille acted
as referee, timekeeper-and, Incl
dentally, director.
OF course, the battle was over a
man. The gentleman was Thomas
Meighan. and he was about the only
person at the studio who did not
witness one or more rounds Of the
scrimmage. His role required him
to slumber peacefully through the
series of scenes.

"Them Eyes, Them Lips

Ever since the days Of Helen, the
Trojan "vamp." one has been ac-
customed to connect the red hair of
a woman with height: and one is
correspondingly surprised to find
the purest Titan adorning the
shapely head OF Irene Olsen, in
genue of the Greenwich Village
Follies." She is little, but in the
words of modern sporting hu-
morist writer, "Oh, them nose, them
eyes, them lips" etc. But 1t is
not only in her good looks and her
many graces that Miss Olsen at
tracts. She has a really good and
well-trained soprano voice. And as
for her acting-well. many young
swain has listened with avidity to
her singing of the song hit of the
Follies, T Want a Daddy"
Miss Olsen admits that she is a
native New Yorker of the West
Side. Now in her twenties. she has

her possession of that rare quality
of being a successful subject for
the veracity of the camera, and her
soulful eyes. she was at hrst tempt
ed to listen to the wiles OF the
motion picture director and VEN
ture into the realm of the cinema.
The Washington herald., 1920-04-11

But she found her ambitions for a
singing career on the stage more
alluring. and the years just before
the war found her chaperoned and
beginning her voice study in Paris.
The outbreak of hostilities caused
q hurried call to come home, be-
cause her mother was convinced
there was war; American teachers
were just as capable as European.
and Irene might do without the
Partisan past.
She studied under several OF the
leading voice practitioners in New
York, and was finally selected by
the producers of the Greenwich
Village Follies' as the most avail
able specimen of the genus beau
tiful to carry the travesty on the
bedroom type of farce, which con-
stitutes the opening ensemble of
the piece.
Miss Olsen was originally re-
hearsed for this particular song
only, but the trial period soon found
her assigned to other important
scenes, notably the Webster Hall
in which she sings Red. Red as the
Rose" with June Carol. She also
does the ballade accompaniment to
the marionette dance, executed by
Ada Forman.
She has all the world Of happy
success before her, and is content

somebody's Luggage" and then
came her great success as Mrs.
Bunting in The Lodger," which was
hailed on all sides as a remarkably
fine Characterization and one that
considerably advanced her position
in the theater,
One of the best of Miss Mercer's
many fine ~portrayals was that of the
title role in Barrie's playlet. "The
Old Lady Shows Her Medals" So
completely did she sink her per-
sonality into that of the motherly
old soul whose heart knew no ma
tionality that her success in the part
was little short Of a triumph.
When the all-star production Of
'Out There" was staged last sum-
mer in aid OF the Red Cross Miss
Mercer added further to her laurels
by her work as the gin loving moth
er. and the early part of this sea-
son she contributed another splendid
performance as Otis SINNERS
