of Wall Street life but of a Wall
Street fnancier who, through a ro-
mantle adventure, finds himself in the
inner circle of an organized band of
criminals whose operations are inter
national in scope and aimed at the
financial centres throughout the world.
Exposure of his identity brings with
it his condemnation to death by the
society, as one who knows too much
for the gangs safety. The efforts to
destroy him, and his defiance of these
efforts-in which he is aided by the
girl he loves, who is affiliated with
the gang develop several of the
fiercest and most thrilling fights in
which Russell has been seen. The
story, of course, ends with victory for
the hero and the union of the lovers
but meanwhile some of the most stir
ring scence ever screened here are
enacted. The story is Max Brand at
his best.

Thousand Islands and Then Some
BY FREDERIC ]. HASkiN

tress of the castle died. The mil
lionaire ordered work suspended at
once. Crates of furniture were left
standing, unpacked in the rooms.
Later, visitors to the islands were
permitted by the caretakers to see the
castle, but so many brought pen
knives and carved their names en-
the beautiful woodwork, or otherwise
defaced the building, that it was fl
nally closed entirely. Now it is ru-
mored that the castle, which has never
been lived in, is to end the first
eighteen year chapter of its career.
Plans are under way to convert 1t
into a summer hotel.
Heart Island, the typical deserted
castle of the fairy stories, is not the
only desolate looking residence IN the
islands. Many of the beautiful homes
of the rich, each on its own island, or
group of islands, are closed for the
season 1t is late now, but some have
never been unboarded throughout the
summef
There is no blasted love back of
these boarded doors. If there is a
romance there. it is the cold romance
of the dollar. The owners have other
estates in Palm Beach, Newport and
some metropolis. The island is kept
as a rustic retreat, to be used now
and then, perhaps, when rest and
quiet may be wanted.
Nearly all these are in perfect con-
dition. The flower beds and lawns
! are as precisely kept as if the owner
were there to enjoy them. The at
tractiveness of the estates is not
wasted, however, for many visitors to
hotels and cottages at Alexandria Bay
and other colonies take long motor
boat rides among the islands, admir-
| ing the show places.
The islands in their original state
are beautiful, some densely wooded,
some rocky with pine trees among the
rocks, others smooth and green. In
among these, on some millionaire 5
property, the fall flowers add strik-
| ing note of gay red, orange and pur-
| pie Terraces are masses of blooms.
Asters and goldenglow are skillfully
| set among the rocks at the water s
edge so that they are mirrored in the
river One of these millionaires has
even his own flower edged canal, built
at great expense, to form a winding
waterway between the islands of his
| estate.
Expensive Islands.
Not all the homes, however, are de.
serted. Not all are owned by mil
| lionaires, either. here are cottages of
all sizes down to a ridiculously tiny
green love nest which the story goes
was built for two but three are there
now

ALEXANDRIA BAY, N Y. Oct. g.
Gilbert K. Chesterton in his talk on
the ignorance of the educated might
have used the Thousand Islands as
an apt illustration of his text: zig
norance is not so much what people
don't know as IT is their knowing Sc
many things that aren't So
Thousand Islands are to most peo-
pie group of approximately 1000
dots of land in the st. Lawrence river
A native of this place who has lived
in or near the islands all her life says
that there are exactly 1000 islands in
the group" And her tone implied: if
you doubt it, count 'em yourself
Yet the fact is that the Thousand
Islands number close to 1900. The
early French explorers sailed through
the maze of islands and dubbed them
with the name they still carry. Thous-
and Islands is a euphonious name,
suggestive of romance, and the history
of the islands has run accordingly
The romance of the French days
was Indian tradition. The Iroquois had
picturesque tale to account for the
origin of this long stretch of islands
in the st. Lawrence
The Great Spirit, they said, wanted
peace on earth. So he gave to the
st. Lawrence region as a sign an is
land shaped like a peace pipe. This
island, called Calumet, is still pointed
out near Clayton. Somewhere near
there was the garden of the Great
Spirit But when his people ignored
ipn .hro, -
the land, the Great Spirit in disap-
pointment seized his garden up in a
blanket to leave the place. The blan-
ket tore, and the garden, falling into
the st. Lawrence river, broke into q
thousand islands that lay on the sur
face of the water This origin, the
story says, accounts for the beauty
of the islands.
The region, too, is claimed by some
students of Indian lore as the scene
of the Hiawatha story, as it actually
occurred in Indian history. Hiawatha,
according TO these authorities. was the
Onondaga hero, Michabou, Great Hare
whose wisdom and prowess set him
forever in Indian affairs as the great
leader and example
Today, Indian souvenirs in the shops
are the only signs left to remind the
people who dart about the waters in
motorboats, of the times when Indian
canoes dotted the ST. Lawrence.
A Modern Romance.
The romance for today is supplied
by modern stories. Just across from
Alexandria Bay, for instance, is Hear
Island, with its novel history. A beau
| tiful castle stands on the island, a
| typical millionaire's residence. But
the windows are shuttered The doors
are boarded.
Eighteen years ago. they tell you
millionaire planned this castle fol
his wife. There were so rooms anC
| so baths, and other details On thu
same scale. An underground passage
to the castle from the dock was con
| structed for freight. Even the power
| house down on the waters edge wa:
built like cluster of towers. A mil
lion dollars was put into the building
and unlimited enthusiasm and affec
ton. Hearts were painted into the
decorations on the ceiling and cut IL

Suggestions offered by F. C. Gaylord
of the horticultural extension staff of

potatoes will keep in good condition.

Upon his dramatic entrance, a num-

their cigarettes or hid them in their

Hey, Inspector, look here!"
Mr.. Moore approached the frighten-
