'lHEI DEVIL HOiSE'-I4CEUM
Imagine a dashing, snorting,
stallion, riderless and without har-
ness, rushing to the aid of a from
tier garrison beseiged by hostile In
dams! Picture this same horse in
a dozen other daring and valient
deeds and you have a fair idea of
what Rex is offering as a movie nov
city in 1.-The Devil Horse" now
showing at the Lyceum. 1t is an
epic of the frontier days of the
west, with the horse as the leading
character.
On this same program at the Ly-
ceum is a picture of another type,
though no less engaging. 1t is
Warner Brothers Compromise, "
and enacted by some of screendom's
best known stars for Irene Rich,
she of the sympathetic roles, has
the leading part. Miss Rich appears
in the role of lovable, faithful but
neglected wife while Pauline Garon,
flapper de luxe, appears as her sell
fish, f1irtatious sister who even
seeks to disrupt her happiness and
steal her husband. Give Brook,
star of why Girls Go Back Home, -
has the leading male role. Louise
Fazenda, queen of character stars,
in the role of the Swedish house
maid, adds roars of laughter by her
clever impersonation.
Again the Lyceum calls attention
to the new serial which begins on
Thursday. 1.-The Radio Detective,
an Arthur B, Reeve story featuring
the famous fiction sleuth, Craig Ken
needy, is the picture and it is of es-
pecial interest to boys since troops
of Boy Scouts have important parts
in the production.

to the forbidden sport.
And the mother, moving silently
from bush to bush. distracted at the
danger which threatened her Off
spring, was deciding, with the
cunning of the wild, from which
point the spring she must take upon
these human enemies had best come.
From the moment when the scene
Of the tragedy had first come to their
eyes barely sixty seconds had passed.

thrown the brief command to the

She had hesitated a moment. The
small opening where they stood was

she drew closer to the man at her
side.
1t was from a spot barely ten yards
away that the big tawny body hurtled
through the air upon them. Sound
less as a streak of lightning it came
straight to where Richenda stood
between itself and Fairways. His
gun swung up as she leaped aside
with a startled scream. His bullet,
hastily aimed, brought a gush Of
blood across that golden hide, an
agonized madness into the fury
which already held the raging brute,
q reverberating roar from those ter
rible open jaws.
The lioness and man were o tum-
bling heap upon the ground-a dread
full, bloodstained, painting, writhing
mass, and-barely a moment later-a
quietly trembling something that sub
sided into stiffness amid a rapidly
widening pool of sinister redness that
spread slimily across the ground
around them.
Richenda, shaken from her pa
ralysis Of sheer horror, shrieked till

pluckily dragging the scarce dead
body Of the lioness from the PROSTATE

The fawn babies had fed into the
bushes with whines of fear.

bloodstained face ashen. From shoul-
der to cuff shirt sleeve was torn in
ribbons. The blood pumped jetting
from a slashed artery in one wrist,
flooding Richenda in it's stream.

lying out in the glaring sunshine not
10 yards away from the shade OF the
bush under which they had placed
Brett Fairways.
From somewhere behind came the
whining of the lonely cubs.
The time seemed endless to Richen-
da as she sat by the side of the still
unconscious man. There was now so
little she could do but wait and
that very waiting was purgatory itself
to her.
Fairways' quiet face had fallen into
the gentler lines that she had known
in those brief days of courtship over
a month ago. A soft half-smile sat
upon his family parted lips. She sat
looking down upon that face, marvel
ing how unconsciousness could wipe
out every line of domination and self
will. Sleep. too, she remembered,
could do that and death.
Her breath came O little faster then

In another moment 1t was back; in
sinuating itself upon her again.
Came another thought. This man
had loved her. Love too

MANY TRADE CASES
BEFORE HIGH COURT
Antitrust Actions Give Way
in Numbers to Clayton
Act Litigations.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Sherman law antitrust cases
which used to furnish the most bit
ter controversies reaching the Su-
preme Court. are being supplanted in
large measure by litigation arising out
Of the Clayton act and Federal Trade
Commission orders. Big and little

in governmental activities in recent

The antitrust cases now upon the
docket include q proceeding against

cree had not been obeyed.
Another Is a proceeding brought by
the Government to have determined
whether the American Tobacco Co.

The court will also determine
whethc~ he Shipowners' Association
of the Pacific Coast, the Pacific
American Steamship Association and
other employers of seamen on the Pa
cific Coast are enforcing Illegal en-
ployment requirements in restraint OF

Other cases question whether the
Trenton Potteries and 46 other pot
terry companies have formed a com
bination in violation of the Sherman
act: whether the agreement between
certain manufacturers. contractors
and members of organized labor in
Chicago. under which union carpen-
