Some of the most thrilling stunts

Needless to say, it is Tom Mix
who made the audience sit forward
gripping their seats, with his dar-
ing horsemanship aud feats of dan
gerous daring. But this is not
merely picture of unprecedent
stunts, there is a real story of
which the thrills are Il logical part.
In addition the east is one OF the
best and carries forward the action

Helene Costello, daughter OF
Maurice Costello, first of the movi"
heroes, carries on the tradition of
the family with an unusually fine
performance. Malcolm Waite gives
q fine performance as the villain,
Doris Lloyd is a fine senorita of
Old Spain and George Irving is
splcndidlv east as Tom S father.
The picture was directed by Oryill
Dali from an original story by Adeia
Rogers 81. John, and is a fine en-
tertainment from every angle. Don t

Gus turned his car at the next
corner. "Your aunt's diamond pin
is at Mrs. Mangan's, I suppose?"
he asked.
Bobbie nodded. It was. It was
sewn into the lowered mattress
Of her blue-painted bed. She had
cut a tiny hole in it and hidden
Aunt Gertrude's diamonds there.
She supposed Mrs. Mangan would
have a fit IL she knew it, but
what she didn't know certainly

Bobbie, remembering the one dia-

Sure. And even if I couldn't,
there's nothing wouldn't do for

Bobbie wished she could believe
him.
But it was awfully hard to be-
lieve him when he talked like
that. There were so many women
in his life that she felt sure he
never would miss her If she went

bered how gaily he had left her two
