scribed how he, under fear of Will

in pasture, and how five others had
Deer taken across into newton county

Then came the Inevitable. A Sunday
morning paper OF Seattle printed whole
page story Of Maud Moore and the mystery
of her being able to defy all the police Of
the United States and remain uncaught.
All sorts Of photographs Of her we're shown
on this page. It was said In the story that
Maud Moore might even then be in Seattle
or nearby, since through the post Office au-
thorities her bondsmen had traced a postal
card which she had mailed to former
friend to the Tacoma post office.
A feeling of danger now came over young
Mrs. Stubs. Il was true feminine intui-

and he was much interested In the "dis-
covery" that she had been born in the same
town. Still he did not recognize the little
gii to whom he used to make love. He
helped her to obtain employment where he
was working, and this time. the courtship
ripened into real love. He begged her to
marry him, and she refused him. as long as
she could despite the yesrning in her heart.
At last she relented, they slipped away to
Tacoma and they were married quietly.
Her husband had saved little money and
had bought small hotel IN Tacoma. He
was the clerk and she was the housekeeper.
They also bought q little home on the out
skirts. where she made foyer garden.
This home was within three blscks OF the
central police station. On the walls Of the
Identification room in this police station
were posted dozen photographs Of the
missing Maud Moore, with their legends
offering $1,000 reward to any Of the police
men who gathered daily In that room who
might discover the runaway mankiller.
Every day these policemen, with the pic
ture Of the fugitive Maud Moore fresh in
their minds, passed her doorway. many Of
them stopping for the flowers che was al

or course, no movie is complete without
mystery and suspense. The whereabouts
of Maud Moore for more than year, while
every postmaster, every police department,
every private detective agency, every rail-
road agent and telegraph Office In the coun-
try was searching for her. combing every
and while newspapers throughout the land
were printing her photographs periodically
upon their front pages, remained indeed
an absorbing mystery. Once, in Seattle,
she stood face to face with one Of the
bondsmen who was even then spending
thousands of dallars month searching the
country for her. He looked into her eyes
and passed. unknowing. At another time
she met on the streets the principal States
witness against her-the man who swore
he had heard her boast she would kill
Harth,< She looked into his eyes unfinch-
ing while he stood aside to let her pass
and escaped unrecognized.
In the interesting movie mystery and
suspense are always prolonged. One may
imagine II the story Of Helen Hope were
told on the screen how the events Of the
next year would thrill the audience
Out OF Knoxville went the mo1ey-inspired
search into every corner Of the United
States. All the police departments in the
United States with their tremendous mo.
tive power were searching everywhere for
her. A million circulars bearing her pic
ture were distributed through the country.
Yet. first in one town, then another, Helen
Hope walked the streets defying all these
agencies. Until few months before she
was hptured there was none to help her.
FROM ST. Louis, where she had worked long
enough to. save enough money for railroad
fare, she went to Billings. Mont. In Bill
ings she discovered II was hard for o
young woman, q stranger, to get employ
ment as stenographer So In despera-
ton, when her funds ran low. she put on
boys clothes and sought work In the mines,
where abe thought she could work all day
without taking of her slouched hat and
thus revealing the wealth Of hair under
meath. She was disappointed, however,
for she was detected by the first man to
whom she applied for work, so she had to
give up this idea of masquerading as boy.
After while she managed to get tenn,
porary employment and saved enough
