A black pang of desperation struck
through the brain of Montana. But
he gathered himself for half a sec
ond and then stepped out into the
white blaze Of the patio. There was
a pair Of guards on the farther side
of the open space, in the shadow Of
the wall. They were smoking their
cigarettes idly. And the heads Of the
leaders were held, now. by a mere
house mozo.
The Kid sprang up lightly into the
drivers place and gathered the reins,
singing out, Let their heads go, boy!"
One Of the guards, calmly, delib-
erately, raised his rifle to his shoulder
"El Keed!" he called out. Get
down from that place!"
The Kid merely tossed him phrase
across his shoulder.
Why do you think Juan-Silva has
been taking me out with him every
day? Because he wants a real coach

With that he swung the leaders
and backed the wheelers with a strong
pull. The carriage lurched we'll back
to the main door Of the house from
which he had just stepped.
He heard one guard saying. "Put

living, which photographers caught
Just in time. A breath-taking polar
flight of 10000 feet, which establishes
another hot spot in this film. The
Byrd Expedition No. 2-the Antarctic
record-should prove to be a money
getter of the type that the first Byrd
film turned out to be. 1t is evidence
that the public loves reality and does
not feel that the filming of actual
happenings lacks entertainment value.
