Tonight marks the last perfor-
nance of "Flesh' the latest Wal
lace Beery film, in which the noted
actor. given the highest rating in
1881 and tied for the same honor
this year. adds new laurels to his
career.
Beery has an unusually strong
role. that of waiter in a German
beer hall who is good natured and
easy going, despite his remarkable
strength, getting his fun out OF
wrestling on the side.
His rather placid existence is
rudely shattered when he saves an
American cabaret singer from jail
ana becomes embroiled in her
charms, and likewise in the schemes
of American racketeers who see in
him a means for money as a
wrestling champion.
Coming to America after his
success in his native country, he
is engineered into a crooked match
for the worlds championship by
the racketeers and becomes in
volved in killing when the cabaret
girl whom he has married is struck
by one Of the gang. He wins the
title and clears his name, return
ing to his native Germany to en-
Joy his happiness.
Karen Morley has the role Of
the dancer with Ricardo Cortez as
her gangster paramour. Jean
Hersholt is the owner Of the beer
garden and Greta Meyer is cast
as his wife. John MILAN, as US
ual, has a more or less Villainous
part,
Critics who have acclaimed
Flesh to be greater than "The
Champ" or Min and Bill, former
Beery successes, are not exagger-
ating in their claims.

JUSTICE NOT
ALWAYS HARD

At a little Mexican shack out near
Mt. Signal last night the father
mother and their four tiny child
ren huddled around the fire shiv7
ering at the blasts of wind which
now and then found their way
through the none too closely fit
ted walls, but on the stove tur-
key boiled and the family was
cheered by the thought Of at least
one good meal.
Over across a field, following q
set of indistinct tracks, came Dep
uty Sheriff Fred Elliott. He was
following the tracks OF a thief who
stole one turkey from the ranch
of Perry George near the Mt. Sig
nal store.
The tracks led to the door of the
Mexican shack. The deputy enter
ed, to find the children huddled in
blankets. watching with drawn ana
hungry faces the pot which boiled
upon the stove. The mother, eX-
pecting another child soon, was
tending the boiling pot
Intellectual efforts to keep be-
tween the deputy and the stove
failed, and the MeXicans watched
silently as Elliott lifted the lid and
found the turkey he was tracing.
Maybe it was the holiday sea-
son, or maybe it was the drawn IA
ces of the Mexican children, but
close observer might have sworn
that an understanding smile passed
across the grave face of Justice
when the deputy and the rancher,
George, agreed not to prosecute.
A Hindu rancher living nearby
satisfied the rancher by paying 50
for the turkey, which bubbled mer-
rily III the pot as the officer, the
rancher and the Hindu left the
family, which was praising, for
once, the forces of the law.

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN (Con-
tinued)

Late one August afternoon Steven
came to the apartment a little in
advance of Bert. They had fallen
into the habit, the four of them,
Of having an early supper together
and then driving to the hospital.
It was a comfortable, informal
arrangement that was always sub
1ect to unanncunced revision.
Ellen and Myra we're in the
kitchen when Steven arrived. He
brought with him his usual offer
ing. a large box of flowers. They
we're old-fashioned garden flowers
this time.
After being assured that there
was nothing he could do to aid
the supper preparations, Steven ig-
nored orders to wait in the living
room and seated himself OF one
Of the kitchen chairs.
For some time he watched the
sisters at their housewifely tasks
and then he spoke suddenly:
Are you two satisfied with
Mixes progress?"
Satisfied" Ellen echoed, faint
frown on her forehead.

but she stopped now and turned to

I'm not either" Ellen confessed
in low. reluctant tone. But
there's nothing we can do, is
there?"
I'D never have brought 1t up If
there hadn't BEEN" he replied, his
eyes grave and unsmiling. But
there is and I've done it,"

She found herself confused and
trembling before the question.
What he had done was so sensible,
so logical, so altogether wise.

her arguments seemed to melt away,

"its only that tn be years and
years before Myra and can hope
to pay you back"
She glanced at Myra and saw
that her sister was in silent agree
ment. Strangely she could find no
pleasure in that knowledge.
All at once she knew that she
had been silly and school girlish to
let so small thing as pride stand
in the way Of Mikes welfare. Myra
too was being silly.

lence, ARE you being fair to want to
shut me out now? Who would I
help if I couldn't help you?"
nc, Steven" she said slowly, II
wasn't being fair"
Throughout the dinner she was
oddly subdued. Afterward when
Myra and Bert mentioned the
dishes she insisted that the washing
up be left for her and Steven.
Myra hesitated, then saw some
thing in Ellens face that made her
hurry Bert into the living room.
Ellen closed the door that shut her
and Steven into the little world Of
the kitchen. She turned to his puz-
zled eXpectant eyes.
IF you would still like to marry
me, Steven" she said softly, Il
would like to marry you"

you serious?"
Ellen's eyes answered him. She
paused to brush back from her
forehead a lock of curling hair. "I
would be safe if I married you," she
went on. "I would have peace. Just
now I very much want peace and
safety"
1--WE never heard that marriage
was particularly safe" he told her.
Ellen pondered. But L" she
had begun when he interrupted.
ELLEN, my dear, I'm afraid you
have conceived some mad idea of
marrying me to show your graft
tude. I can't let you do that"
'It's not that at all" Ellen put in,
her cheeks flushing.
But you don't love me-"
Il don't know what love means"
she said YEARLY, not denying his
statement. IT know that I think
you are the kindest man in the
world. know that I trust and adj

girl whispered.
so there 1S-waS-Some one elSe?"
He was watching and saw the gall
liant smile that did not reach her
eyes. She did not answer the ques-
ton, but put another instead.
Would you marry me, Steven,
knowing that once thought I
loved some one else very much, even
though I knew that love wouldn't
work out, never could work out?"
He laughed mirthlessly. I'm
afraid I would. I'd think, you see.
that I loved you so much that in
time you would come to love me,
too"
Still he made no move toward
her. There was no exultation in
his face. He only stood looking
down on her.

ruefully. Gust the other day -

length of the kitchen, past the piled
