#4EL
While the story in itself is rath-
er weaktthere are scenic effects in
"a Virgin Paradise" showing at
the Nelson for the last timesstoday,
that are really noteworthy, part
cularly that of the burning and
seething volcano, sending forth its
mass of molten lava in a fiery
stream and destroying everything
in it's wake. {
If introduced in an educational
film this with the animal life and
natural beauties Of the South Sen
Islands, would make ar interest
ing6feature in themselves. But in
must needs wade through a lot OF
unpleasant scenes in order to get
the benefit of those that are really
worth while. 8
Adults could successfully dissect
ittand get the best of it no doubt,
but it is of the young people Of
;impressionable age, who make up a
large per cent of the motion pic
ture audiences, and who absorb the
good IN the process of character

nut-brown hair. She was silent for a
moment; then her voice came duly:
I'D better not marry you, Bill Dale"
Dale sat up straight and rigid in
his saddle and stared hard at her SOL
EMMY beautiful profile. He could
hardly believe that he had heard cor
rectly. He knew she loved him. She
had told him that she loved him. Then
why wouldn't she marry him? He
tried to reason it out, and the attempt
made his brain ache; he was unable
to reason. He knew only that she was
all of the future to him, all of the
world to him, and-that she had re-
fused to marry him.
When they were within two miles
Of home, Dale went suddenly white
and caught her almost rudely by a
wrist.
rs 1t Jimmy Fayne2" he demanded
holly.
She gave him a reproachful glance
and said nothing. He flung her hand
from him angrily.
Dale did not speak again until they
had entered the broad valley that wal
home to him. Somehow he felt limp
now. The great way of anger had
passed.
II guess you are too good for me-"
he said. There was weakness In his
voice, and 1t was the first weakness
she had ever known in him.
"Will you always think Of me as
the finest and most beautiful woman

There was no sleep for Bill Dale that
night. The sweetness of his liberty

that, on account o. them Balls and Tor
reys. Back in the Big Pine country
there is a tall, thin mar named Sam
Heck. He's a big eater, an awful liar,
and a worshiper Of Bill Dale. Sam

HE said, BE still, Baber And then
he thumbed his rifles hammer back
without a sound.
II looked toward the river and saw,
Bill Dale a-walkin' up the nearest
bank, and l saw Black Adam slip be-
hind a tree not far away. Bill saw
Adam, and he slipped behind a tree,
too. Adam shot at Bills hat, and
leased Bill. Bill shot at Adams hat
and then Adam Ball jumped up groan-
in like he was done for, and fell, all a.
twistin', to the ground. But he wasn't
hit. He put his gun out by the tree to
kill Bill as 500 as he showed himself.
1t was one o. his old tricks"
Elizabeth Littleford raised her head
slowly and went on in a voice that was
much shaken:
II had always talked against KILN,
and yet l stood there and begged Sam
Heck to finish him. The rest happened
in no time. Ball was already a-lookin'
along his sights. Bill Dale was nearly
out In the open. L." she faltered, and
then came a rush Of words 81 wouldn't

She stopped and stared at Mrs. Dale
almost d~efantly. Her head was high,
and her hands were clasped in her lap
so hard that they trembled.

IN said gently. What you did
was right, not wrong; any good woman
would have done just what you did,
Elizabeth, | am sure"
Elizabeth Littleford faced Mrs. John
K. Dale squarely. There was a strange
glow In her eyes.
"But | haven't told you everything"
she murmured-'T took Sam Hcck's

BY Heck realized that he would have
to be very cunning if he evaded the

would not be put off longer.

And then, having answered. he fav-
ored Dale with an odd look, took up
his rifle and strobe put of the office
humming:

"But he's the biggest liar in the

to his desk.

Confession.

CONCESSION.
If the impulsive, fighting Bill Dale
could have heard across the ~interven-
ing miles the conversation that took
place in his old home the next evening,
he would probably have followed Ben
IittlefOrd's daughter by the next train
If he had had to hold 1t up at the point
Of an honest blue gun in order to get
aboard 1t.
John K. Dale and his wife had gone
into the library with Elizabeth at her
request. The three sat down facing
each other. The younger woman was
III at ease; she was glad that the lights
were subdued and soft. When the
silence had become heavy, she straight
ened In her chair and blurted out fall
teringly:
"Bill asked me TO m-marry him, and
I wouldn't do Il. FL thought maybe
IL ought to tell you"
The Dales exchanged Rlances: then
they looked back at Elizabeth Little
ford. Dale smiled a fatherly smile.
Mrs. Dale's eyes narrowed. The Ole
stiffness rose within her and began to
make stubborn war against her more
recently acquired common sense.
"Have you quarreledf" she asked.
"No."
Well" old Dale said bluntly, whats
wrong7"
ut isn't his fault" Elizabeth told
thana ssT,u, n ~avo0o1 aha manf On
desperately-"and he isn't my kind"
John K. Dale retired very early that
night. When the sound of his foot
steps had died away. his wife bent to-
ward Elizabeth and said curiously:
"Why did you call yourself a saw
ageT"
Elizabeth told OF her early life In
the hills. of the feud between her peO-
Pile and the Morelands and OF how she
had hated the bloodshed. She told OF
the coming of Major Bradley, of her
burning thirst for education, of the ole
trainman who had thrown her a news
paper each day. and of the coming o.
Bill Dale.

"and nobody ever seemed to under

tensely human, and to be human is
to be unworthy.
Il turned cold that night. A little
before noon OF the next day, BY Heck
stepped into the Moreland Coal com

Bill Dale Laughs.

ON @N@HH~
Bill Dale sat thinking of what he
had done there in the Big Pine coun-
try. From the stone-and-clay Chin
neys of the cabins of the Littlefords on
the other side of the river the bowling
wind snatched sprays of blue wood.
smoke. The Morelands had gone to
farms lying around Gainesville In the
lowland, on each of which a fair-sized
first payment had been made. the bor-
rOwed capital was to remain borrowed
for another year. The Morelands were
already losing their outlandlshness
and growing into universal respect
David Moreland's dream was at last
being realized.
Then Dale frowned heavily. If only
he could do as much for Babes peO-
plel But he couldn't. The men of the
jLittlefords still worked the coal min
They received almost twice the custom
airy wages, but even that wouldn't buy
them farms and educate their children.
Under his eyes lay two unanswered
letters from his parents. He found
little pleasure In answering their let
tiers, for he was still somewhat bitter
toward them-tOward his father be-
cause of his fathers Ill treatment OF
David MOreland and David MOreland's
people; toward his mother because she
had let him go hungry for mOther-loye
as a baby, as a child, as a boy, and as
a man; toward them both because he
had been reared a do-nOthing.
The door opened suddenly, and BY
Heck came stamping In with a gust OF
cold air at his back. He carried In
one hand the mail satchel in the other
was his ever-present rife. After throw
ing the satchel TO the floor at Dale's
feet, he turned to the glowing wood
stove.

Dale ran through the mail hastily,

took the entire output of the mine at
an extraordinary figure, and picked up
a letter which bore the postmark of his
home city.
1t was from Babe LittlefOrd. Since
he paid so little attention to the letters
of his parents, they had requested her
to write to him-they wanted him to
come home for Christmas dinner,
Wouldn't he come?
He arose and paced the office nOoT
for two or three minutes, then he sal
down at his desk and dashed off a let
ter that contained only W. sentences

Wherein Abe Lincoln Reveals His
Method Of Conducting 4 Lawsuit In
the Case Of Henry Brmstead ct al,
vs. Lionel Davis.

They found many of Davis notes
in Tazewell county. Abe Lincoln's
complaint represented seven clients
and a sum exceeding twenty thousand
dollars.
With the papers in his pocket Harry
went on to the Honey Creek settle
ment. There he found that the
plague had spent itself and that BIN
had gone to detention camp outside
the city of Chicago. He was not per.
mitted to see her, the regulations hav-
Ing become very strict. In the city he
went to the store of Eli Fredenberg.
The merchant received him with en-
thusiasm. Chicago had begun to re-
cover from the panic. Trade was
lively.
Harry spent the afternoon with Mrs.
Kelso and Bins baby boy. He wrote
very tender letter to BIN that day
He told her that he had come to Chi
cago to live so that he might be near
her and ready to help her II she need
ed help. "The same old love 10 In my

When the latter had left for his
lodgings and Joe and his mother had
gone to bed, Samson told Harry the
details of his visit to Chicago.

and died with it before nOw," said the
young man. I'll be on my way to
