A GREAT MYSTIC SfORYf B
HAROLD MacGMThMUHL
. o -
(COpyrleM, MM. By Harold MacOrath.)
CHAPTER I
The Mystery of the Spotted Collar.
YH THE side of a rugged mountain
s a black velvet hole yawned. Rub
Lie lay strewn all about the ledges.
To a layman this rubble would have
explained nothing; to a miner it -would
instantly have explained the nature
of the hole. Presently a burly man
emerged from the hole, squinting.
He eyed the lump of rjuarti: in his
hand. Always a little, but never quite
enough gold to make it worth while.
It might run ten or twelve the ton.
Dut what capitalist would interest
himself in such dribble? The pros
pector flung, the quartz savagely upon
the accumulating rubble and leaned
dishcartcncdly against the log sup
port to the entrance of the mine.
Every bone in his body ached and
every nerve responded. His grub
stake was fast dwindling, and in an
other four days he would hnvc to
hike some 32 miles to the nearest
town for supplies. '
Done! He had paid $500, every one
of them earned at the risk of his neck,
for this damnable hole in the ground.
He filled and lit his pipe and fell to
dreaming what he would do when he
struck it rich.
By and by the dreams faded and the
hitter realities returned. He rose
lamely and carefully picked his way
down to the Irishman's shanty. The
two of them shared, their noon meals
on pleasant days.
"How's she comin'?"
"Same old story," answered Trainor,
erstwhile strong man of the Eclipse
circus.
"Well, well; it's pegging away that
brings it. I got a lump t'day that
don't look so bad. I should say that
she'll run fifteen th' ton. I guess
them wild-cattcrs arc th' chaps that
make th' real spondulix widders an'
clerks an' childcr."
Trainor shrugged and munched his
slice of bacon and after an hour or so
returned to his diggings.
In Trainor's life there had been but
trifling monotonies. He had been a
sailor in the South Seas, a lumberjack
in the north, a cow-puncher, a fireman
on a North Atlantic liner. He had
come from a poor but respectable
Ohio family. His father nof his grand
father had ever stepped over the State
boundary lines; but in him there was
a reversion to the type of pioneer who
had established the Trainor family
when Ohio was a wilderness. He
could not settle down; he must be on
the move continually, and when at
length he joined the circus he found
that roaming uncertain life much to
his fancy. There he had met Mimi
Keenc, known on the hand-bills (for
lithographs were far 'beyond the reach
of this circus) as Mimi La France,
CHILDREN'S CORNER
Three Fairy Wishes
ONCE upon a time, three tiny
fairies sailed over the sky on a
ellvery cloud, sailed and sailed through
the blue.
'They -watched the sun; they watched
the earth; they watched the stars and
the moon.
And as they watched they tried to
pick out tho place they would most
like to live.
"I. want to live on the moon," said
Bllver. "It's so white and clear and
beautiful."
"I'd rather live on the highest star,"
said Starlight, "it's so gleaming and
pure."
"I'd much prefer to live on the earth,"
Bald Sjnny, "for there is where the
people live, and I think people are more
interesting than all the wonders of the
heavens."
Now, it happened that at that very
minute, quite unnoticed by the three
tiny fairies, the fairy queen of the sky
went by.
She beard them talking and stopped
to listen.
"Do you really want to leave your
cloud home and go to the moon, the
star and the earth, or are you Just
talking for fun?" she asked.
"Indeed, we're not talking Just for
un!" exclaimed the fairies vigorously.
' We really mean what w say. There
are so many lovely places to live; it
stems a shame to live all the time on
on cjoud!"
Tto fairy queen laughed. Stw was
tisaa to bearing funny wish,, though.
EVENING
world renowned tight-rope walker.
Remarkable as it might seem, these
two loved each other fondly, and 6nc
day the lust to wander died in the
man's heart; and he wanted a roof
over his head, children about his
knee, and money in his purse. When
the opportunity to go hunting for
gold came, -he hesitated not an instant.
He had been hammering away at
the grim unyielding rocks for eight
months, making only such trips to
town as ' were necessary for food.
Perhaps the rubble extracted repre
sented a thousand dollars, perhaps
less. He was discouraged.
One day he staggered out into the
brilliant sunshine. A lump of quartz
was clutched tightly in his hand.
When he grew accustomed to the
daziling light he turned the stone
over and over, his heart beating as it
had never before". There were veins
in it, broad flakes of it; gold, gold,
goldl He stood there several minutes,
enthralled with a jumble of dreams
revolving around in his brain. Then
he let out a yell that could be heard
across the valley. Down the rubble
he dashed, risking his neck a dozen
times.
"Donovan! Donovan!" he cried.
The old Irish prospector came out
of his hole, blinking.
"I've got itl I've got itl" '
Donovan snatched the quartz from
the hand of his friend.
"Holy "Virgm, ye've struck itl If it's
all like that, ye're a rich man. Man,
man, there's a hundred dollars in that
lump alonel"
Trainor collapsed on a pile of
worthless rubble and laid his head on
his arms. He had done it, all in these
few months. He was rich, rich. And
all his dreams were going to come
truel The Irishman gazed down on
him ruefully but philosophically.
"An' me that's been prospectin' 20
years an' am't hit my pile yctl Well,
God bless ye, man. I'm glad ye got it.
An' now let's go take a look."
Like all men who suddenly stumble
upon a virgin fortune, Trainor in
stantly began to plan how to protect
it. He .had some bank attorneys draw
up papers leaving the mine to his
wife, in case of her death to his child,
to her husband. It was subtly under
stood that the brother-in-law, Kecne,
should never he able to touch it.
These Western bmlc attorneys were
simple and honest men.
But no dream of ours ever becomes
rounded out; -what wc realize is but
a poor fragment. Before he had time
to write to his wife, Trainor was kill
ed by a pTemattrre explosion. He -was
buried under the rubble his own hands
had torn from the mountain side; and
the kindly Donovan started out to
find the Eclipse circus.
Continued Tomorrow.
live but one place at once! Maybe you
wouldn't like any other place any better
than this cloud."
The fairies shook their heads soberly.
They couldn't believe any such thing
as that I
When the fairy queen saw that they
were quite set In their Ideas she said
to them: "Very well, fairies, If you
are sure of what yon want you shall
have your wish."
"Oh, goody!" excjalmea the three
fairies in a breath, and they stood very
still while the fairy queen -waved her
wand and said: "Fairies, fairies;
airy fairies; live, oh live, where you
please!" ,
Instantly quicker than you can read
this word the fairies were gone from
the cloud were gone without a trace.
And whither they went one could only
guess,- for the fairy queen -wouldn't tell
and nobody else knew!
But that very night the flrest star
shone brighter than ever before so
bright that it surely seemed as if the
star was happier than before. Maybe
the fairy Starlight really went there
and her coming -made the star happier.
That same night .the mo'em shone
round and full shone -wjth aucn a
silvery radiance that It seemed as If
the fairy Bllver surely- must be there
helping the moon to shine.
And at the Yery same time the star
was sparkling and the moon was shin
ing so bright a little girl, tucked snug
in her bed, dreamed a beautiful dream
about a fairy country, a dream so
wonderful and lovely that if Beemed
os it a fairy must have brought It to
earth and given It to her!
How do we know? Maybe the fairy
gunny brought the dream.

Sir John French Praises Ilesourceful
ness of Territorials.
LONDON, Nov. 30. In a report on the
British operations In Belgium and France
Issued last night, Field Murshal Sir John
French says of the Indian troops:
"Since their arrival In this country and
their occupation of the line allotted to
them I have been much Impressed by the
Initiative nnd resource displayed by the
Indian troopr. Some ot the ruses they
hnve employed to deceive the enemy have
been attended with the best results and
have doubtless kept the superior forces In
front of them at bay.
"Our Indian cappers and miners have
long enjoyed a high reputation for skill
and resource. Without going Into detail,
I can confidently assert that throughout
their work In this campaign thoy have
fully justified that reputation.
"The general officer commanding the
Indian army describes the conduct and
bearing t these troops in strange and
new surroundings to have been highly
satisfactory, and I am enabled from my
own observations to fully corroborate
this statement."

NEW YORK, Nov. SO.-Scorra of per

loot found by detectives In an apartment
on the Southern Boulevard yesterday. A
man known as "Mr. Charmawltz" and

being held by the police. The man was
bold when taken to the police station.
"You charge me with burglary, do your'
he laughed. "Well, go ahead If you think
you have the evidence."
Pawn tickets were found In the flat
which led the police to believe when all
the loot Is recovered. It will amount to
about 10,000. Letters found In the flat
showed that Kuttler had served time and
that he was deported to Russia about a
year ago. The police think that Kuttler
Is the lone burglar who has been busy
in the Bronx for two years. The girl
claims to be Mrs. Kuttler; the man denies
this.

THE QUESTION OF MUSIC. '
Thcro is still ono part of the photo
play Industry which has not progressed
with tho times, and that Is the musical
end. This part of the program, especially
In tho smaller theatres, has been sadly
neglected. Of course, nil of them have
somo form of music for the pictures, but
the selections show no thought on th
part of the manaRcr. As a member xt
If' X
ummuk
tho Professional Women's League said 1
the other day:
"Suppose wo tako a scene touching
upon war, and when a body of Allies is
shown marching to battle the orchestra,
or pianist, plays 'Tlpperary' can you
Imnirlnfl the Inspiration given the
audlenco? I do not say. that special
muslo should bo written for each new
subject. Old-time muslo will. In many
cases, catch nnd pleaso tho audlenrt
more than modern selections. My conten
tion Is that 'Down Upon the Suwaneo
River' will not give to a -play dealing'
with foreign situations the same tone
that some particular foreign selection will :
give. All must bo In harmony, not ex
ccptlng the instruments providing the se-l
lections, i predict that musical depart
ments will, eventually, nnd at no distant!
(Into become one of the most important '
ot the better class of photoplay producing '
cnmnnnlps. I hn.VA talkpd with some of 9
tho older producers concerning this mat4l
tcr, nnd they have stated that the idesj
some companies have suggested to ex-JI
uiuitors musical selections appropriate-;
to certain scenes, but most exhibitor,'
nave oeen neeauvo in mo mauer. jtans
of them havo taken the view that th
suggestions were made in the Interest of,
music publishers. The real obstacle to
progress in this direction has beyS that'
the matter ha not been properly pre
sented to the exhibitors. When it is the)
will lay In a supply of music, and when
they are shown that one sheet of music
is not aDoroDrlate far the entire sub.
Ject, but that the accompaniment must
come from a variety or selections ana at
specllio times, they will begin to get In
terested."
