overcoats. One of them took cigarette butt
from his lips. Hey, your he called to Niels.
"Seen dame running down here?'
Niels didn't answer He just stood smoking
his pipe.
The fellow swore at him. Don't you hear
me speaking to your" he snapped.
But still Niels didn't pay any attention.
The two fellows took to looking about them;
they muttered between themselves, and after
glare at Niels they shuffled off.
As soon as they were out of sight, the girl
opened the cabin door and peeped out. Have

"Yes, said Niels "They - they have gone

about her.
"Yes," said Niels. "It's pretty chilly this
time Of the year him."
The girl looked at him. Niels knocked the
ashes out of his pipe, put it back into his
mouth and drew on it noisily then again
knocked it against the barge railing.
Thanks for letting me hide in your cabin"
the girl said gently.
"Oh - that's nothing" Nels replied,
glancing up. He once more did something to
his pipe.
"You have it very cozy in there" the girl
went on do you mind if 60 in and sit

ever so much" she murmured. You're
awfully kind" Again she looked at him in
that searching way of hers. "I've still one
thing to ask of you" she said. "I'm so dread
fully tired. Would you let me lie down here
on the bench few minutes before go3"
"Yes. Miss. -. OF course :" He at once
pulled the table to one side, turned up the
bunk and got out some cushions and
blanket "You can put this over you" he
said. 81 think you'd better take off your coat
so it won't get rumpled."
The girl smiled YEARLY, and with a sigh of
satisfaction she stretched herself out on the
bed. She pulled the blanket over her. Closed
her eyes and seemed to be asleep.
The cabin gradually warmed up Outside
the fog was thickening. Grey chill winter fog.
Niels moved quietly about while he found a
hanger for the girls coat. He stepped out to
the kitchen and put more wood on the fire.
This done he tiptoed back into the ROOM He
stood looking down on the sleeping girl, then
sat down in the chair.
He could not stop studying her. She looked
so tiny without her coat, her slim form out
lined under the blanket. She had dark shingled
hair, with coquettish curl on each cheek Her
features were delicate. And as she slept, the
hard expression of her face began to soften.
She moved in her sleep and thrust out one
of her feet from under the blanket. Niels
thought she would rest better if her high
heeled shoes were off, He quietly rose from
the chair. stood hesitating for minute. then
lightly touched the girls foot to see whether
she would awaken. But she did not. He
touched her foot once more. Harder this time.
The girl slept on. Carefully Niels removed her

Thanks" The girl stepped across the
threshold into the cabin. She held the door
open and looked back at Niels won't you
keep me company" she asked softly.
'Yes, yes" His face flushed and he turned
his pipe in his capable brown hands, He fol-
lowed the girl into the cabin and closed the
door behind him. The girl sat down on the
bunk and looked up expectantly.
Niels stood uneasily. balancing on his heels.
He rammed his hands deep into his trouser
pockets, then took them out and tried to keep
them behind his back

seated himself stiffly on the wooden chair and
rested his hands awkwardly in his lap.
The girl looked tired. but she seemed to
feel at home She gave delighted gasp and
looked approvingly about her. her eyes linger-
ing on the brightly polished windows with
their neat curtains. A white cloth covered the
table; few pictures hung on the walls; in
corner stood victrola. The narrow cabin had

looked at it longingly. do you make fire on

"Ye-es, sometimes" he said and made an
uncertain move as if to get up.
will you make one today?" the girl went
on please do! Will you?"
Eyes, sure! He jumped to his feet, glad to
get something to do. The girl watched him
while he made fire in the stove and gentle
smile passed over her tired features. She gave

- HE still slept, now at half past eight of
this Sunday morning. Bleak No
vember mist drizzled over the lonely
~ docks, and at intervals melancholy
believing from ships siren drifted in from
the sea.
Niels, the barge's young captain, was sitting
very quiet on the cabins sole chair, looking
at the girl stretched out in sleep on the bunk
before him. She was slender and smartly
dressed He wondered who she was and where
she came from. And why did her pretty young
face look so hard, almost bitter? Well. she
was probably leading fast life. She might
have spent the night in some dance hall or
other.
But Nels at once regretted his thought; he
refused to believe anything evil about the girl
She looked so small and so helpless. curled up
under the blanket She couldn't be so bad
But the whole affair was strange, no denying
that. The way she came as if escaping
from the city to seek refuge in his cabin.
Only about an hour ago Nels was alone
here, pottering about in the cabin. tidying it
up. Then he put holiday touch to himself
and stepped out on the barge deck to smoke
his pipe The waterside lay deserted and silent
below dull grey vapors. And behind the mist
across the river the Manhattan stone giants
pushed their mighty shoulders up above the
fog.
As Niels stood there putting at his pipe a
girl came running from behind fence that
divided the street from the dock basins. She
stopped and glanced anxiously behind her.
Her gaze fitted irresolutely about. On seeing
Niels she ran up to him. "Oh! Pleasev she
painted Let me hide!' Her glance took in the
barge in single quick sweep. She leaped
aboard, pulled the cabin door open, glided in
and banged the door.
Niels hardly had time to take the pipe from
his mouth before he heard noise over at the
fence, and two men appeared there, tipsy

rick Henry's famous "Give me liberty
or give me death" speech was an
historical bit which, on sheer dra-
matte merit, rated above the feature

was so ranked not only in Washing

\
FEATURES of this character having
not only novelty but high enter

who would put the short subject on
much higher plane than it has oc-
cupied in the past. They would lift
the brief bit from the category Of
filler" to a product of recognizable
artistic merit; something not only able
to stand on its own feet as enter
tainment, but to stand that way more
solidly than many program picture
Of full length.
Their efforts in this direction are
one Of the developments Of the mo-
ment that are distinctly worth watch
ing.
They are out to emancipate the
short subject from the status of some
thing dull as we'll as brief.

real purpose of filling up time. Their
entertainment value was negligible, if
not sub-zero. They might extend a
short feature picture into something
resembling the moviegoer's moneys
worth from the standpoint of time
alone; that is to say, If the feature
ran one and one-half hours, an addi-
tional 30 minutes of short subjects
would make an aggregate sufficient to
impress the average ticket buyer.
Those who feel today that the Sc
1ected short subject got off to bad
start under such an arrangement are
the ones who are trying to make it
something more substantial. Even
when they know they are artistically
successful, they turn out so often to
be commercial fops. The past of the
short subject arises to curse its pres
ent with unoeserved failure.
1t is all very discouraging, but the
makers of short subjects of something
more than standard merit refuse to
give up. If they hold on long enough,
they feel certain that the public can
be educated to look upon the one or
two reeler as something more than a
time consumer.
PROFESSIONAL critical opinion en-
courages this hope Either
because of its ennui toward so many
program pictures, or because it has
seen merit in a few recent short sub
jects. the critical group sometimes is
guilty Of the heresy of rating the latter
above the former in its reviews.
The Robert Benchley shorts, for
instance. have been known to top the
full-length feature in many picture
show review. And some of the fea-
lures so subordinated have not been
straight program pictures either. One
recalls, for example, the case of the
critic who rated Benchley's How to
Sleep" above The General Died at
Dawn" the picture which introduced
Clifford Odets to motion picture
audiences.
That rocking got the critic in ques-
ton into many a hot argument, but
It offered no end of encouragement to
those who wanted the short subject
to be better and to receive suitable
recognition when it was better.
The March of Time" highly par
ticularized short subject, has enjoyed
the honor OF being rated above the
feature picture in many a critical
analysis of film bills in various parts
Of the country.
