Cayuse Which Took j Boy to Coolidges Goes Back to Texas! Duluth, Minn., May 8. — UP) —'"Molly" has said farewell to Duluth and the cool climate of northern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin. ‘ Molly.” you remember, is the little Indian pony that Boyd Jones, young Amarillo. Tex., lad rode 1,000 miles to greet President Coolidge when the latter was vacationing lust summer at the Brule. “Molly” is on her way back to her home state and her little master, with the experiences she gained in the last year never to be forgotten. A winter in northern Minnesota is vastly different from the winters that "Molly” enjoyed in Texas, but for the most part the little cayuse showed no ill effects from her being in this sec tion of the country for more than eight months. The last three months "Molly" has been giving "service" to Duluth children, having been placed at the Duluth zoo to give children rides. Before she was taken to the zoo she was in the custody of the Wis consin national guard. Boyd's father. Wason Jones, drove to Duluth to make arrangements to have "Molly” taken back. Boyd, he said, was "lonesome for Molly,” and undoubtedly, lie added, "Molly was lonesome for Boyd and Texas.” f AT THE MOVIES * ♦ ■ - ■ ■- ❖ ELTINGF. THEATRE Alice White, Louise Fazenda anti Doris Dawson will be heard for the first time when "Hot Stuff” is shown at the Eltinge today and Thursday. "Hot Stuff” was adapted from "Bluffers." a collegiate story by Rob ert S. Carr. It deals with two very devilish students, a college sheik and a co-ed, who pretend to be a lot worse than they are. who eventually discover each other’s secrets. Robert Carr, who wrote the story, is a college youth who has a special gift for writing about youngsters of his own age, and "Hot Stuff” proves to be something more than entertain ment. Carr, in his story, docs not take the attitude that modern youth is go ing to pot. but rather advances the more cheerful idea that the speedy pace they maintain is a bluff and that most of them are just regular boys and girls after all. In addition to the feature, the El- Highest Lowest Precipi tation State oi weather OUT OUR WAY By Williams tingc program for today and Thurs day includes news pictures, the two reel "Reckless Rosie” <not with sound i, and the Vitaphone vaudeville act. Joe E. Brown in "Don't Be Jeal ous.” The feature has talking se quences, sound effects, and musical accompaniment. CAPITOL THEATRE "The Broadway Melody," Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer's first all-talking, all singing, all-dancing picture, which will open at the Capitol theatre Mon day, is interesting because its makers are reported to consider it the best possible advance messenger for their all-dialogue films. Those whose ears arc close to the tickings of the hidden machinery of motion pictures have heard reports about this particular film for some time. First there were the usual con ferences. Would a stage play or mu sical comedy be translated to the screen? Then there was word that Ed mund Boulding had written an orig inal story with "Tin Pan Alley” and the stage, both behind the footlights and behind the scenes, for a setting, and that Harry Beaumont, who did "Our Dancing Daughters.” would en deavor to get motion significant to the eye and sound not entirely un pleasant to the ear out of a cast headed by Charles King, Anita Page and Bessie Love. Apparently on the theory that too many cooks can not spoil a meal, when each is engaged upon his special dish, James Gleason, author of "Is Zat So?” and "The Shannons of Broadway,” and Norman Houston were given the job of writing smart dialogue, and Artftur Freed wrote the lyrics, and Naeio Herb Brown wrote the music for the songs, which include "Broadway Melody,” "You Were Meant for Me” and "Love Boat.” Today in Congress ißy the Associated Press) WEDNESDAY Senate meets at 11 a. m. with vote on debenture proposal.

THIS HAS HAPPENED MILDRED LAWRENCE falls in love with STEPHEN ARMI TAG E, who is lured away from her by PAMELA JUDSON when she toils him that Mildred is try ing to marry her brother. HAR OLD. for his money. Harold fears HICK CONNOR, who holds a check which he forged. Hack is infatuated with Pamela, who plays him to make Stephen jeal ous. When Pamela maneuvers Stephen into an engagement. Huck frames him for the theft of an auto and causes his arrest. Pamela breaks the engagement, but Mildred goes to see him in jail and promises help. Harold had once confessed his fear of Huck to Mildred and said that he threatened to “get Armi tage” to keep him from marrying Pamela. With this as a elew, she determines to force Harold to aid Stephen and is shocked to hear of his death—apparently accidental. Then she tells Stephen her sus picions but they have no proof and things seem hopeless. In desperation Mildred goes to Pamela and tells her story. Pa mela sends her to MR. JUDSON, who takes her to headquarters to repeat her suspicions about Huck. He puts up bail for Ste phen’s release and Pamela goes to *c_* him and ask forgiveness. A lawyer and detective come for Stepl- n and the taxi they leave in is foi’owcd. * * * ".igh NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXVIII In her desire not to remain a mo ment longer than necessary in a "hor rid” cell in an "unspeakable” jail, as she mentally described the place where Stephen was "detained”—her own word—Pamela quite neglected to give him even the most sketchy de tails of her father's efforts in his behalf. She was well aware when she went to him that he would be at liberty, under bond, that afternoon. Her father had telephoned her from the bond bureau just before she left the hotel that all was going well, think ing she would convey the news to Ste phen. Stephen underrtood. from her re mark about expecting to be at the hotel to greet him, that steps were being taken to release him that day, but he made no preparations for his departure. He scarcely realized that he was showing a lack of trust in Pamela. His attitude was a natural one in view of her treatment of him. It did not even occur to Stephen to an alyze it. It was some little time before he had proof that she had not been lightly making promises. Mr. Jud son’s lawyer, Arthur V. Oerndorf. had important business on hand which he could not drop at the moment his client appealed to him to conduct Stephen safely to the Judson Hotel. But he got around to it as quickly as he could and when he arrived at the jail he was, at Mr. Judson’s earnest, request, accompanied by a de tective in plain clothes. * * * Stephen was bewildered at this latest, turn of events. How, he had asked himself over and over, had Pamela been able to induce her father to have him released? “It is Mr. Judson's wish that you go directly to his hotel,” Oerndorf told him as they made their way out to a waiting taxicab. Stephen nodded, thinking that he was soon to have the mystery of Mr. Judson's act cleared up. “Mr. Armilage. Mr. Frcan, - ’ the lawyer pronounced tersely, introduc ing Stephen and the plainclothes man who had remained in the taxi cab while Oerndorf had gone inside to wind up the final bits of red tape that opened the door to freedom for Stephen. Stephen climbed in, and the other two men saw to it that he sat on the left side. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE fy RUTH DEWEY GROVES It was a lovely day. clear blue sky and sparkling sunshine. Stephen had been too quickly hustled into the cab to pause on the sidewalk and savor his liberty as he'd been moved to do. But he glanced through the win dows with the expression of a man seeing a new world, a world that pleased him very much. A hurdy-gurdy on the street cor ner sent out notes of sweet music and the torn newspapers that littered the sidewalk were but evidence to Ste phen of a life that was not hemmed in by three small walls and a row of bars. Bars! He'd hate the shadow’ of one as long as he lived. But it took bars, mortar and steel and locks and keys to make a man appreciate his liberty, he told himself. So far as he knew the shadow* of bars still hung over him. But for that. . . how could he marry Pamela until he proved his innocence? Something of the glory of the day faded, but Stephen was too confused to know* whether it was because he knew himself to be still under a cloud or whether it was because he saw an impediment to his marriage with the girl whose love had over come her pride and doubt at last. At least Stephen believed it was like that with Pamela. He believed her reason for coming to him was the one she had given—that she loved him. He was not plunged into any great, sudden, admiration for her no bility, but he did believe that she was being honest. And she had se cured his freedom. He must not for get that. The taxicab rolled away from the curb while these thoughts traveled through Stephen’s brain with more speed than clarity. He was over loaded with impressions. One of them was that a tenseness endured with his companions in spite of Oerndorf's brief comments, made to relieve the awkwardness. Stephen did not feel like talking. His thoughts and his opportunity to renew his acquaintance with the world were enough for him. Frean sat in silence, with only now and then a mumbled syllable uttered in response to something Oerndorf had said. "I've directed the driver to go up First avenue,” Oerndorf explained, and looked at Frean, who showed some surprise when the car proceeded to cross Fifth avenue, eastward bound. "The traffic is too heavy on Fifth; I haven’t the time for it,” the lawyer added. "H’m,” was all Frean said, but something in the way he spoke caused Stephen to look at him in surprise. Who was the fellow, anyway, he won dered? Oerndorf had not seen fit to en lighten him. As the car edged forward into a crosstown traffic jam between two parked trucks Stephen saw Frean lean over and glance into the driv er's mirror, saw him draw back quickly and sit tensely erect in his scat. His action made Stephen nervous. What the deuce was going on? Oern dorf may have sensed his uneasiness. At any rate he put a question that Stephen himself would have liked to ask. "Is there anyone trailing us” the lawyer inquired in a low voice. “Arc you sure of this man?” Oern dorf asksd, indicating the driver of the taxicab with a slight motion of his hand. “He’s O. K.” Frean replied, not troubling to lower his voice as Oern dorf had done. “One of our men.” Oerndorf’s expression showed relief not unmixed with concern. He had not relished this assignment but, be ing a junior partner in the firm qf prominent attorneys that represented Mr. Judson in legal matters, he had not been in a position to refuse to undertake it. And Mr. Judson had most explicit ly insisted that he accompany Ste phen to the hotel. Ocrndorf had been inclined to consider such guard ianship unnecessary and the idea of having a detective along had seemed a crankish idea in view of the fact that Mr. Judson. compelled to tele phone in his orders, had not been in a position to relate the full facts in the case to the lawyer. But he had not failed to warn Oerndorf that Stephen was the vic tim of relentless criminals; that his life might reasonably be considered in danger. "Keep a sharp lookout," the law yer said to Frean, who considered it an unnecessary admonishment since he "knew what he was there for," as he said to himself. Oerndorf turned to Stephen. “Are you aware that the men behind us. if they arc following, arc undoubtedly your enemies?" he asked. Stephen whistled. Oerndorf nodded. "Mr. Judson in formed us that you are in danger," he explained as Stephen added nothing to the whistle. Suddenly Stephen clenched his fists. "Let's get them," he exclaimed hotly. "Anyone of Huck Connor’s men might lead us to him!" "Who is Huck Connor?" Oerndorf asked. Btephen glanced at him sharply. "I thought you knew," he said, sober ing. "I only know that Mr. Judson warned us your life might be in dan ger." Stephen had nothing more to say about Huck. He did not know that Mildred had gone to Mr. Judson or even that Mr. Judson suspected his son had been killed. He believed he’d better have a talk with Mr. Judson before saying any thing even to Oerndorf. ' But he wanted to get Huck if there was a chance. He and Mildred knew the man was guilty. To prove it was the only way Stephen saw to clear himself of the framed-up charge that still stood against him. He turned to Frean. “Who’s in that car?" he asked. "Did you see?" "A bird I once ran in." Frean an twerrd, "end the driver." ' •ViViViVmVA'AVAV • • • • •*••••«»• iVV*Vm * * * Frean nodded. “B’lieve so.” * * * "Know anybody by the name of Lefty Flint or a fellow who owns a place out on Long Island called J. B.’s Place?" Frean grunted a negative answer. Stephen was disappointed. He’d hoped Huck had sent the men he knew to get him. “If we could nab that guy we might learn something of importance to Mr. Judson,’’ he said to Oerndorf. * We had no orders to arrest any one," the lawyer returned, disinclined to act in the dark at Stephen's insti gation. “Besides, if they mean trouble it would come before wc could bring about their arrest." Stephen was silenced. After all it was chiefly for his own sake that he wanted to get his hands on one of Huck's men. “You want to be prepared for trouble," the detective said after they had crossed another north and south thoroughfare and the car behind them was still following. “Those birds aren't taking any interest in the scen ery." Oerndorf stiffened at the words and Stephen felt a prickling along his spine. The detective’s voice was cool and matter of fact, but his listeners knew that he was not talking just to exercise his vocal cords. Stephen saw him draw a gun and rest it in his lap. He started to look around. Frean held him back with an elbow. “We don't want to wise ’em,” he said and Stephen settled, back in his seat. Frean leaned forward and spoke to the driver. “Keep to the right, Bill,” he said. “We re tailed. Don’t get in their way.” Then he turned back to Stephen and Oerndorf. “They'll probably pull their stuff on First avenue,” he said grimly. “Be ready when you see they've got a chance for a getaway.” (To Be Continued) Fire Responsibility Extends to Burning Of Litter on Farms Persons who burn straw stacks and permit the fire to get out of control so that it damages the property of other persons are liable for the loss so caused, the state supreme court has held in the case of Layton E. George vs. Oscar Odenthal, appealed by the defendant from the Dunn county dis trict court. Its action affirms that of the lower court. Expounding the law on the subject, the high court held that anyone who starts a fire, however proper his pur pose may be, is liable if it escapes to any wood, marsh or prairie and there after does damage.

Not even Old Man Habit can hold a smoker to a poor smoke. But being used to an old thing often keeps a man from getting acquainted with abetter one. That’s the reason for these " con cealed name" cigarette tests now going on all over the country. To give a man a chance to find out, on the level, which cigarette his taste really does like best. Look what happened at the Mt. Clare shops of the B & O in Bah timore, the other day. Most of the fellows there had been smoking that old favorite (let’s call it Brand Y) for years. But when Chairman of Machinists, James E. Poulton, handed out the four leading cig arettes with paper "masks" over the names, 57 out of 115 picked OLD GOLD as the best cigarette. It was a walkaway for OLD GOLDS! "That only proves," said a chief mechanic, "that a fellow misses a lot if he gets too set in his ways."
