During the last three years, he has
gladdened more than twenty sick

/ Mr. Maxwell conceived of this I'M
usual custom when he had typhoid
fever in 1903. He was in bed from
October to February with nothing to
occupy his mind but to think over his
| sins of omission and commission and
count the spots on the wall paper
1t was then the thought came to him
that it would be much easier to while
away the time if there was something
alive and moving to watch instead
of inanimate objects. So what would
fill the bill better than goldfish?
while flowers smell sweet and are
pretty and nice and proper to have
around" said Mr.. Maxwell. still
there's nothing like goldfish to make
a fellow forget his troubles"

WHO WON THIS Big BATTLE?
You Can Decide for Yourself After
Seeing the Motion Picture.

Seeing the Motion Picture.
Ever since the great battle of Jut-
| land was fought it has been a ques-
ton in the minds of every one as to
lust who did win that great battle.
Even the British and the German ad-
miralties have hesitated to come out
in a general declaration and say that
they won the fight. The British, &C
cording to all rules of warfare. won
the battle for they drove the German
fleet off the North Sc" inflicting a
heavy loss upon them the Ger
mans in turn claim tha : won the
battle for they sailed * onto the
sea and gave battle to the British and
! having inflicted a heavy loss upon
them, retreated to perfect safety with
in the harbor. Had the British fol
lowed them it might have been a diff
ferent thing by now, but as is well
known they did not. However in the
minds of the public is the question,
who won the battle of Jutland?
Now a motion picture of the great
battle has been made and everyone
can decide for themselves who won
the battle. Some of the photography
was made during the actual engage
ment by the British admiralty, and
the remainder of the picture has been
worked out in minute detail, every
move of the battle ships by miniature
model ships. The immense task OF
comparing all the logs kept by the
gunnery officers of both the British
and German fleets thruout every
stage of the conflict, and then of re
enacting with models every move OF
every battle ship, cruiser, destroyer
and torpedo boat engaged, was done
by Major General Sir George Aston,
X c. B., for thirty years a British
naval officer. 1t took three years
preparation and over 100000 moves
of the model ships to reproduce faith
fully every course steered, every sink
ing torpedo attack and broadside, and
every other incident. Each model
could be moved but a sixteenth of an
inch at a time. 1t is fidelity to facts
which makes the Battle of Jutland the
greatest historical drama ever
screened.
The Battle of Jutland will be shown
at the Orpheum Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of next week, together
with Wallace Reid in THE Worlds
Champion"

storm. Observation-Disclosures she was

Ariadne was we'll away from the land.
The first thing Dyck had done, after
escaping from the river, was to study
the wants of the Ariadne and make an
estimate for the future with Greenock,
the master. He calculated they had
food and later enough to last for
three months, even with liberal pro-
I~visioning. Going among the crew. he
realized there was no depression
lamong them that they seemed to care
little where they were going. 1t was,
however, quite clear they wished to

Perhaps no mutineer in the history
lof the world ever succeeded, as did
IDyck Calhoun, In holding control over
fellow-mutineers on the journey from
the English channel to the Caribbean
sea. As a boy Dyck had been an ex-
pert sailor. had studied the machinery
Of q man-of-war, and his love Of the
sea was innate and d~eep-seated; but
his present success was based upon
more than experience. Quite apart
from the honor Of his nature, prison
had deepened In him the hatred Of in
justice. In soul he was bitter; In body
he wal healthy. powerful and sane.
Slowly. sternly, yet tactfully, he had
broken down the many customs Of ship
life injurious to the welfare Of the
men. Under his system the sailors
had good coffee for breakfast. instead

CHAPTER XII.
To the West Indies.

A fortnight later the mutiny at the
More shook and bewildered the British
isles.
The day after Richard Parker Wis
tied the Ariadne the fleet had been put
under the control Of the seamen's Del
egates, who were men of standing In
the ships, and of personal popularity.
Their first act was TO declare that the
fleet should not leave port until the
mems demands were satisfied.
The government had armed the forts
at Sheerness, had sent troops and guns
to Gravesend and Tllbury. and had de-
clared war upon the rebellious fleet.
At the head Of the Delegates, Rich
ard Parker, with an officers knowl-
edge, became a kind Of bogus admiral,
who, In interviews with the real adj
mirals and the representatives of the
admiralty board, talked like one who.
having power, meant TO use II ruth
lessly. The government had yielded to
the Spithead %mutineers, giving pardon
to all except the ringleaders, ana
granting demands for increased wages
and better food, with a promise to con
slider the question Of prize-money; but
the More m%utineers refused to accept
that agreement, and enlarged the
Spithead demands.
TIE Delegates demanded a deputa-
tion from the admiralty, Parker de-
claring that no accommodation could
occur without the appearance Of the
lords Of the admiralty at the More.
Then followed threatening arrange
ments, and the Delegates decided to
blockade the Thames and the Med
way.
1t was at this time that Dyck Cal
Parker. had taken control Of the
Ariadne-took action which was to al
ter the course OF his own life and that
Of many others.
Since the beginning Of the mutiny
he had acted with decision, judgment
and strength. He had agreed to the
Ariadne Joining the mutinous ships,
and he had skillfully constructed petit
lions to the admiralty, the house Of
commons and the king. His habit of
thought, his knowledge of life, made
him O power. He believed that the
main demands of the seamen were
just. and he made a useful ~organiza-
ton to enforce them. 1t was only
when he saw the mutineers would not
accept the terms granted to the Spit
head rebels that a new spirit influ-
enced him.
He had determined to get control Of
the Ariadne. His gift as a speaker
had conquered his fellow-sailors, and
the fact that he was al ex-convict
gave them confidence that he was no
friend Of the government.
One OF the first things he did. after
securing his own pre-eminence on the
ship, was to get the captain and off,
GERS safely ashore. This he did with
