 Lip reading comes natural to the film fan. He can usually tell just what the players were saying at the time the pie ture was made. This makes the fea- ture far more interesting ard realistic. There are some stars and players who enunciate so clearly and distinctly that the spectator fancies he heard the words spoken. In other words. the ac- ton upon the optical nerves disturbs the nerve centers of the brain which control hearing. Thus the illusion.

The other turned red, then white,
then red again. Bill Dale's words had
dashed him keenly. His eyes became
like hard black beads, and he began
to raise the wicked-looklng pistol as
though he meant to fire.
Then there was the sound Of a
breaking twig behind him, and voice
drawled out:
"Drap it, Mister-drap the funny

It was the moonshiner, BY Heck,

the pistol. Heck grinned, advanced

tossed it into the river.

"The law-now don't go and fool
yourself" exclaimed Goff. "The state
couldn't afford to keep a hundred men
here, month in and month out, just to
protect your little mine. My patience
is about gone, Dale-for the last time,

They reached John Moreland's cabin
less than an hour later. Moreland
and his son had just returned from
Gainesville, and Dale learned through
Hayes that the two hillmen had shown
good judgment and some business
sense In making their purchases.
When the evening meal was over
Dale drew John Moreland out to the
cabin yard, where the many old-fash-
Toned flowers made the night air sweet
with their blended odors. For a mo-
ment Dale stood looking toward the
very bright stars and thinking; then
he told the big man at his side OF

and strongly urged the making Of
friendship between the two clans.

CHAPTER vlll-contlnued.

He didn't wait for a reply, but
eurned away with BY Heck. He went
to the home of the Hecks ostensibly
to have his fortune told--reaIly, to
get his dinner. The old woman didn't
fIke him, but her Unborn spirit Of hos
pitality wouldn't permit her to refuse
him a meal. She felt that she was
almost even with him when, after
shutting and reading the cards, she
told him that 1t would be wise for
him to look out for big, tall, grey
eyed young man with an oak tree In
one hand and couple Of cliffs in the
other.
Dale told Major Bradley and John
MoreIand Of that which GoH had said
to him at the gate. The major sug-
gested forthwith that he go to meet
the man; it couldn't possibly do any
harm, and there was a chance that he
would learn something of COTS In

So Dale went.
Golf was already there, waiting. He
was sitting on stone on the More
land side Of the river, whiting idly.
When he saw Dale approaching, he
smiled and nodded, rose and pocketed
