 Rain comes, and Magua professes to be lost. The party stumbles across the camp of Uncas, and the famous scout, Hawkeye. On hearing that the guide is lost, Hawkeye is astonished, and goes to investigate. Recognizing Magua, he attempts to capture him, but fails. Realizing that the redskins will soon be on their trail, he leads the party to a secret cave for the night Cora resting securely in the confidence inspired by the noble Uncas.

 Sounds like the beginning of one 1 of Old Sleuth's thrilling tales of Indian ! times, doesn't it? But you're wrong ! of one of the scenes from ''The Last of the Mohicans," the famous story fy James Fenimore Cooper. the ; greatest writer of Indian stories of all time.
 And this deathIess romance will be still more surely perpetrated by it's adoption for the the screen in an in teresting version that has been but little changed to meet the demands of the silver sheet, Historical and tailingly preserved, scenic back grounds have been carefully chosen : to represent the rugged Great North Woods of Northern New York and Canada as they were in the middle of the 1sth century, during the French and Indian wars For the storrning g of Fort William Henry on Lake 2 George, around which the story is built, forms one of the high-lights of that stormy epoch of American his ! tory.
 Here is a short synopsis of this :Nrugged story, one of the most faS- : cinatfng and interesting romances ! ever written in the English language which every. man, woman and child : in Bridgeport should see when it comes here, as it will soon:

It is decided that Alice is Magua's prisoner, but Cora insists on going in place of Alice and that Cora is entitled to her free dorn Magua disappears swiftly into the forest with her on horseback.
 Uncas follows, coming dawn to a high craig where he sees Cora on the edege of g. precipice from which she threatens to cast, herself if Magua comes near her, She jumps, but Magua seizes her by the hair, hold ing her suspended over the abyss. Not daring to fire through fear of killing Cora. Uncas sees her murdered as he leaps toward Magua- They strug- gle deSneratelY. The bank gives way

 The thing that Arizona needs most is good roads!"
 Commenting on the trip, MT Weaver | stated that the toughest part of the trip was from Salome to Hassayampa. l and that the toughest going was 4 | stretch Of 93 miles from Mecca to Blythes In the latter distance 1t was necessary to go about half of the way in second gear. While in second gear an average speed of g miles an hour was made. Not once did the water in the radiator boil and at the finish the radiator cover was cool to the touch. The car passed through Blythe at 10:45 yesterday morning. The run in from Winters Wells was made in l hour and 46 minutes.

Smashing all previous records to the
 four winds, a Studebaker light six
 touring car yesterday afternoon ar
 rived in Phoenix with a cargo of
 United States mail from Los Angeles.
 The trip officially checked by the government postal authorities was
 made in the astonishingly short period of 13 hours and 16 minutes elapsed time This lowers the record , hours
 and II minutes
 That time includes 1 hour and 46
 minutes lost in stops due to tire
 trouble and the passage at the Ehren- berg-Blythe ferry. Six tire changes
 were required during the run. Only
 one spare tire was carried on the car. The little Studebaker mail car left Los Angeles postoffice at exactly 1 O clock yesterday morning, California time. It arrived at the Phoenix post office, and the mail was delivered, at exactly 6:16 yesterday afternoon, Ari- Zona time.
 In establishing this record, the Stu debaker light six covered the distance from this city to Los Angeles faster than anything else on wheels. The best Nain time in effect is 14 hours and 20 minutes, or 1 hour and minutes slower than the little mail cars time When one considers the difference be tween a straight, level right Of-way
 with very few stops, as in the case of the train, against the desperately unfavorable conditions met with on the desert road, the accomplishment of the Studebaker becomes even more re
 markable.
 The best record for the run prior to yesterday was IS hours and 27 minutes, made by Ralph Hamlin several years ago. That was made in a road race under two controls with n over night stop at the river, at which time repairs might be made. The car used in this instance was specially re inforced and trussed for the trip. With the exception of having top. windshield and lenders removed. the Stakeholder light six mail car is q stock car throughout. After completing the trip from the coast the car was placed in tfe show room of Barret & Pott- berg. Inc the local Studebaker dis tributors. where 1t was inspected by many persons during the evening. The car will be in this city for at least to- day and any person is invited to eX- anime St.
 The speedometer reading at the end of the run was 422.3 miles, making an average speed of 31.1 miles an hour for the elapsed time, or 36.7 for the run
 ming time.
 Four persons made the trip: Hart i Weaver. son of Chester \. Weaver, 1 Studehaker distributor at San Francis ! co and Jack Burns Of the service de- paTtnent of Barrett & Pottberg. Inc l the local Studcbal5er distributors. as drivers; and Edwin White and William ] Cook of the San Francisco Studebaker i office.

Leach Cross VIII
 Try Comeback Stunt

Los ANGELES, Cal, March 23- Leach Cross will try to come back. The rormer well known lightweight, who re- urea from the ring and, under his true name Dr. l.. c. Wallach, opened den taI off1ces here; has announced his in- tentfon in an open letter to Los Angeles sporting writers
 cross letter follows, in part:
 nursed this bug for about two years, but definitely decided upon the plan about year ago, and have been systematically preparing myself for a year for this delayed comeback I call 1t delayed comeback, because it is inevitable; only some do it, or rather try 1t, sooner than others
 T know the sporting world doubts the chances of a successful comeback because better men than I ever dared to be tried it and failed.
 Most men retire because they are not fit for active service. Some wait until public opinion forces them into retirement. Some drink too much to do them any good. Some dissipate in various forms. Some do all of the above.
 Whereas, I never drank or smoked or dissipated in any form. I forgot to mention the fact that all, without cx- ception. allowed themselves to get fab by and when they tried to box again to do so on short notice. l have kept up my training.
 "ro refute our pal, Horace Greedy, am headed east"
 Cross hopes to get his first comeback bout at tho Vernon arena near here.
