interspersed with gray; and his blue
eyes had gravity incompatible with
youth, as if already he had expert

had eaten of its bitter fruits.
This was a northern post of the

"A Tale of Two Worlds" which is
 being shown at the Liberty tonight,
 and tomorrow night, reveals much for
 the photoplay goer to be thankful fo.' In the first place, it has story, a really gripping story of love and in- trigue, in which young American is given the opportunity of his life to exercise his intelligence and his phy- sical courage. The spur for all his eff forts is an American girl who has been
 brought to San Francisco's Chinatown after her parents had been killed in the Boxer uprising Of 1S9s This e citing tale b. Gouve rneur Morris, O. e Of lie E'.. .'cnt Au'trs, whose pro- auctions are bsing made a. !lr,a Sold wyn studios 1t was directed bv Fra~k Lloyd.

MERE MAN ObEYS
 FEMALE LEADERS
DuLLED3AND WORRIED BY Wo. MEN-Folk, THE TAUREv HAS NO LIBERTY AT ALL-EScoRT SENT WITH MEN WHO GO OUT LATE.

WASHINGTON, D. C., January g. Appropos of current discussion regard ng the comparative status of women s rights in the United States and other countries the following bulletin of the National Geographic Society is quoted not as an argument-but as import ant evidence on this point:
 Amongst the Tauregs, found in the vilayet of Tripoli, it is man the brute who by the laws of the country has to obey the women. Descent IS traced through the mother. Woman shows her proud face to all the world, while the man goes yelled. In the presence of woman of noble birth, men cover their heads altogether. The women give the children what little instruc- tion they have and train them to re- spect and obey them.
 Men are Down
 "Bullied and worried by his women folk, the Taureg has no liberty at all. All the goods, tents camels, and the clothing are the woman's property. The stick he carries and the great wooden box into which he puts what his wife suffers him to have are all the man possesses and all he retains, if for some reason his wife chooses to divorce him.
 'In Chat. when man goes out after sunset he is usually followed by ne- gro servant, sent by his wife to dog his steps, and woe to him if he forgets himself and comes home too late, He will find the door shut and must count Thus he is forced to take pat in one the street altogether.
 "The young man, who, in spite of all this, wants to marry, must pay a big sum, for the bride, to obtain which he is obliged to look for other means than his usual work of rearing camels or carrying goods for the Arab trader. Thus he is forced to take pat in one of the annual rhazzias.
 <'The ladies decide when the right moment has come, and the men sally forth against some luckless caravan or to the rich highlands of Tibesu These raids have destroyed many a fertile oasis and have accelerated the final disappearance of trans-Saharan trade"

her brother said hal no one could
touch the moon even though it seemed
to be right on top of the hill. and even
though it looked as though if one went
to the top of the hill one could touch
it. But he was willing to take her to

herself. And the little girl went with
her brother.
Up to the top of the hill they
