Her fingers locked in the cloth of

time, to cross the sixty feet of wild
water between them and the shore.
He had never been put to a greater
test. Every ounce of his strength
was needed. He was heavily clothed
and shod, and the girl, exhausted,
was scarcely able to give aid at all.

some of his riders strength went into

the water dropped lower. He was al

He knew that Busters strength was
not that of Mulvaney, and he couldn't

the river that lay before her.

At the same instant he turned his

Buster wheeled, struggling to keep

Yours sincerely,
VIRGINIA FREMONT.

This was the note that brought Bill
Bronson to the brink of Grizzly River
on snow-driven day n October. In
his party were Kenly 1ounsbury. his
nephew's fiancee, Virginia, and Bron-
sons cook, Vosper.
The weather, promising fair when
they had ridden out of Bradleyburg
into the forest, had turned cold. \
heavy snow blanketed the forest: a
snow that might have induced Bill
Bronson to turn back, except for two
things.
One was the promise that he had
given Virginia fremont to find her
lost !over-a man whom he dimly rec
objected as having met several years
previously The other was that this
trip into the wilderness gave him one
more chance to look for his fathers
lost mine, somewhere beyond Grizzly
River.
Bronson's father and man named
Rutherford had discovered this mine:
they worked it together for season
and then no more could be learned
of them or their whereabouts till it
was verified that Rutherford had
crossed from Canada into the States
with the whole seasons gleanings of
gold, amounting to a vast sum. Be
yoHd the border he disappeared com
pletely-and the only possible deduc-
ton was that he had murdered the
elder Bronson and stolen the gold.
The trip from Bradleyburg to Griz-
7,y River had been an arduOus one
On the other side was a cabin which
Bronson had erected as part of the
chain he used when trapping. The
river, flowing wild. threatened death.
But beyond was comfort
Kenly Lounsbury, fresh from the
office where he had amasseG wealth
by his wits, wanted that comfort.

manded of Bliss.

"Home Stretch"

Comedies possessing genuine ele'
ments of gripping tingling drama and
of delicate sentiment without sacri-
ficing laugh-power are infrequent
enough to cause Douglas MacLean's
latest Paramount picture, The Home
Stretch" which comes to the Eagle
theatre tonight and Wednesday and
Central theatre Thursday, to stand
forth as one OF the most original and
entertaining offerings of the year.
The story concerns jockey, a
trainer. a racetrack follower who at
the time the picture opens, has risen
to the ranks ofTacehorse owners, and
of the difficulties he encounters
when he attempts to abandon his
gambling habits Not only is Mr. Mac
Lean afforded ample opportunity to
''get over" sparkling comedy sftua-
tions, but to display his dramatic abn
ity and his skill with 'thrillers" as
well.
The opening scenes of the story,
laid on a famous California race track
are notable for tensely dramatic sit
uations, and thrilling accident, in
which Mr.. MacLean plays a promi-
nent part. Throughout the remain
der of the picture, clever comedy and
dramatic suspense are delightfully."-
