Then he came back to earth, and
tried to decide what he must do.
He had elected himself Bunny's
knight errsnt, he meant to fight for
her = Ia mort and a Ia mode and
any other dramatic way he could
find. Moreover, he meant to be
practical, and il being practical
meant smuggling the kiN out Of
Hsrbor Gardens, then, out she must

For Teddy Buck was OF quick de.
cision, and rapid action. He fully
believed that 1nman had seen Bun.
ny, just - he had described. Buck
didn't want to believe this,-far from
it,-but Larry had sounded truthful
and Tod believed him.
This didn't necessarily argue Ban
ny guilty in any direct way. but il
did seem TO prove that she knew Of
Myra's death at that time, and that
fact would explain why Carter found
her sobbing SO bitterly when she
went to her room to tell her the
news next morning.
Teddy tried to reconstruct the
scene that Bunny left when she
went upstairs but this he was unable
to do. He thought, It must be that
she saw Myra dead, but whether she
had seen her killed, or not, he had
no idea. If she had, why didn't she
raise an alarm? Unless,--no, he
would never believe that Bunny had
herself applied the colors Of her
vanity case to Myra's face!
Well, he thought, with his usual
rapid conclusion, he must ask her
about it. It might be hard to do
that, but not 80 hard Is to wait in
suspense, and perhaps have evidence
piling up against the girl he loved.

The Death Of Valentino

Many very many will be saddened by the unsea-
sonabe death of the movie STAR Rudolph Valentino.
Those who think Of him as trfling, flippant per-

Valentine had physical beauty to be sure, but he
had brilliancy and that necessary elusive element
Of charm called personality. Women particularly
admired him. but he was a mans too. The
men who came in personal contact with him became
his warm friends
Critics often say with rancor that it is sad COM
mentary on American taste. when Valentino, a
Chaplin, Pickford, a Dempsey, or Mccullough
make big fortunes IN short time. when the college
professor the teacher Of philosophy, the classics
logic, or law must worry along from five to ten
thousand a year. The fact is. however, that these
popular stars really do not have $, terribly much
left when they have paid all around the circle.
Another thing is that their work is within the
reach OF all. What anyone pays these stars does
net hurt. Valentino can be seen in day by mill
hons at an expense to each one of from, dime to
fifty cents college professor cannot spread him.

hire professor permanently and few there are who
cannot afford to see the movie star in action

hand side of the first page two columns of de-
tails. On the second and third pages were more
pictures and more details.
Nothing was missed. The pictures Of his former
wives were placed alongside the pictures of his in
tended wife. The entire layout was one of the best
jobs Of journalism possible. The chances are every
minute detail was read by large majority of this

the day and was played and read accordingly

captured them. After short trip to the jail house
the robbers were questioned II

shooting people,
"Then, said the detective, you'll have to stay in
Jail. We might hang you That's what We
might do" Upon hearing this, the five young fell
lows broke down and wept bitterly. I'VE wish you

A court battle ensued. The young fellows be-
came known the "cry baby robbers" In return,
they said the detectives did not treat them nice
while in Jail. The claim made that bad men
poked them in the eye, punched them in the ribs.
and acted very inhospitable in various and sundry
other ways.
Ignoring all this, the jury sentenced the robbers
to serve from II to rs years in the pententiary.
Were they downcast? No. They laughed and took
it good-naturedy. The fact is, they were SO re-
lieved to learn they were not going to be hung -
they didn't mind the prison sentence.
So perhaps there is moral in this for all Of us.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER sxXXV

"Oh. | suppose Stiwas just the old
story of two men and one woman,
| don't think the baby girl was on
the scene at all. believe il she
was seen coming or going on the
stairs, it was after the whole show

his wife and Inman quarreled. Then
nobody can say just how that thing
happened. It might well have been
accidental. Perhaps one man attacke
the other and Mrs. Heath threw her
self between them in an effort to
help one or the other. and received
herself the blow meant for one Of
the men,"
II never should have thought Of
that! But it's darned plausible! I
