and when the land grabbers from the city arrive to take the valuable coal lands of her widowed mother-it is the waif who stands them at bay, and saves the day. But this instance is bue the forerumner of many and more exciting adventures. It seems the man who protests his love for her mother-incidenta the father of the lad the waif herself loyes-is but a schemer-his affection only shammed-as he is in the employ of the land sharks. The waif has called on the night riders, and they seek to run the agent of the land men from the vicinity. His resistance results in an exchange of shots. and when the smoke has celared away a couple of the riders, and the agent are dead. The girl gives herself up for murder, and the fun at the trial may well be imagined when every man on the jury swears it was his rifle that fired the shot
 The thrilling moments of the story are excellently balanced by the per iods of comedy in which Mary Pick ford Is a positive riot. Action. att mosphere, scenic beauty. and an ex- ceptional cast are also outstanding features of the attraction which will receive its final screenings today.

GLORIA SWANSON IN
 UNDER THE LASH
 IS AT RIALTO TODAY

Gloria Swanson in "Under the Lash"-her second starring picture opens two days engagement at the Rialto today.
 Under the Lash" is Paramount's powerful adaptation of the equally as powerful novel-"The Shulamite," and gives Gloria Swanson a magnifi- cent emotional role-one that calls into play every ounce of that won derful ability which has endeared her to every motion picture lover in America.
 The story concerns Boer family and his young English wife. The farmer is a stern, hard ruler, whose method Is the lash-a fitting person. ification of a heart of steel. His reading of the Bible has only served to warp his feelings, as he has failed to find the inspiration from the Word, and places his own interpre- tation on every passage-an inter- | pretation which is calculated to jus l tify his tactics. The wife is denied l all books-she. is taught to consider l happiness a sin, and stinted intellec- | tually. she lives the life of a prison i CT. longing for knowledge of the out l side world-living in a land of 1 dreams and hopes.

BRETON SAW ACTION
 WITH ROUGH RIDERS

Gen. Arthur Lee of the British army, military attache of the Brit ish delegation at the limitation Of armaments conference, is not visiting America for the first time. He was here at the time of the Spanish American war and was in the thick est of it, brigaded with the Rough Riders as a military observer. For mer members of that organization living in the west are hopeful that he may visit this part of the country during the conference.
 Captain Rynning, superintendent of the state prison, then a lieutenant or the Rough Riders, encountered him just before the battle of San Juan hill after some hot skirmishlng ln g. preliminary engagement. Captain Rynning said that he was never wearier than when Lee rode along calmly and. noticing his weariness, called to him, saying: You look al- most in; you'll find some whiskey in the off saddlebag."
 Whether or not the captain took it he gave a good account of himself in the battle that soon after took place.
 The visit of Lee at that time re- suited in change in the more than century old style of British fighting. The British had had a hint at Lady smith in the Boer war that advanc- ing in column formation was not the best way to approach an intrenched enemy. There the columns were moved down in swaths by the accu- rate Boer rifiemen.
