LIFE, LIBERTY, HAPPINESS -
AND HAROLD LLOYD, GRAND

Harold Lloyd, if ne is to be judged
by his behavior in Never Weaken"
places small value on his "unalienable
rights" Of life and liberty in the pur-
suit of happiness-for others. 10
Perhaps Harold has happy time
shimmying on an iron girder II stor-
les above an asphalt pavement. Per-
haps it gives him the blues, if the sun
sets on day in which he does not fro
lie alb ut on an skyscraper iron frame
work as nonchalantly as a hungry
goat on tin can dump! Perhaps he
has 80 times she nine lives Of a cat,
and a life, more or less, is nothing
to be sneezed at! .y
IT my rate, he risks life and liberty
in the pursuit OF thrills and laughs
in his newest Associated Exhibitors
comedy, which he's been aptly titled
"Never Weaken" The Grand theater
will present it Saturday. Sunday and
Monday in the belief that tits Lloyd's

tains its full measure of laughs, but

Alan ran out into the hall and lis
tened; he heard no sound but he went
back to the little room more excited
than before For what had the other
man been searching? For the same
things which Alan was looking for2
And had the other man got them?
Who might the other be, and what
might be his connection with Benja-
min ,Corvet? Alan had no doubt that
everything Of Importance must have
been taken away, but he would make
sure Of that. He took some OF the pa
pers from the drawers and began TO
examine them; after nearly an hour
of this, he had found only one artcle
which appeared connected in any Wav
with what Sheriff. had told him or
with Alan himself. In Ons the little
drawers Of the desk he found several
books, much worn as though from
being carried in pocket, and one OF
these contained a series Of entries.
stretching over several years These
listed an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS a Sc

wife had gone away, left where her
maid or she herself had laid them,
and only picked up and put back there

busted. AS Alan touched them.s he
saw that his. fingers left marks in the
dust on the smooth top of the chest;
he noticed that some one else had

Of the same sort as he had made. The
freshness of these other marks star
tied him; they had been made within
Il day or so. They could not have
been made by Sheriff., for Alan had
noticed that Sherrills hands were
slender and delicately formed; Cor

An Encounter.

Alan, standing in: the darkness OF

matches and struck one on the box.

him, reaching back into some vague,
distant darkness, and great rooms with
wide pOrtiered dOorways g;iping on
both Sides. He turned into the room

shades were drawn on the windows
toward the street. then found the
switch and turned OH the electric light.
Alan had the feeling which so often
comes to. one in an unfamiliar and
vacant house that there was some one
in the. house with him. He listened
and seemed to hear another sound in
the upper hall. q foOtstep- He went
