LET NOTHING STAND IN WAY Recant Incident In the Blue Hills of - Massachusetts an Example—Col ored Scenes to Be Used In ' the Near Future—Mil lions Invested. Along one of the thickly wooded roads through the Blue Hllla the other afternoon an automobile scudded at top speed, relates the Boston Herald. In the tonneau, lying apparently life less on one of the seats, was a young tlrl, dressed, oddly enough, in a suit of rough and manly tweeds. To add to the incongruity her long hair had broken from bounds and fell In a tum ble about her shonlders. Her face was white and drawn. It waa evident that she had fainted. About a hundred yards behind rushed another machine crowded with .uniformed men. now and then there was a flash of steel and the staccato barking of a half-dosen re volvers. On and on the cars dashed through the thin sunlight of the after noon, the aecond gaining visibly on the first To the casual observer there seemed to be little doubt that one of the most thrilling bandit chases ever seen In eastern Massachusetts waa in prog ress. A second glance, however, re vealed an Intensely active individual perched perilously on the hood of the flrst machine. It looked aa though he were manipulating a miniature Bat tling gun and one expected the anlhl latlon of the little band of doughty policemen. Nothing happened. The suppoaed gun clicked harmlessly with an Inces sant whirr and without a sign of a bullet or a wound. The race went on merrily and then the man' behind the gun raised his hand. Both cars slowed down and stopped. The fainting girl revived, and pursued and pursuers Stepped out and stood at the side of the road chatting amiably^ It doesn't take any very shrewd guessing to understand that the ex citement was all'Telghed, (Sat the flee ing and the following was all a put: up Job, that the cartridges were all blanks. Anyone might hazard a wager that the whole affair was done for the sake of the "movies." And as a mat ter of fact, it was. Mads Pictures In Fierce Btorn. The storm which recently passed over California brought gloom to many motion picture studios, but one di rector at least gave thanks for the stormy aid of the elements. He had taken a large company of artists up Into the high Sierras to produce a num ber of multiple reel features amid snow settings. The director and his cohorts arrived In Truckee, Cal., short ly before the record snowfall set In, and they soon found themselves with seven feet of snow on the level to work In. All hands Immediately got busy, and some One snowstorm scenes were secured. One morning the com pany awoke to And themselves liter ally snowed under and had to dig themselves out with shovels. After gaining their own freedom they went to the aid of the village folk, whose habitations in many instances had col lapsed under the snow. Millions Invested In Fllme. Talk about baseball being the na> tlonal game, there are some 7,200,000 fans in the United States who dally attend the movies. It takes mors than 18,000 moving picture houses to take care of these fans, and In ths course of a year the American public pars something like 1176,000,000 for the privilege of seeing the latest things In Alms. Films for Polioemeii. The Alms which are to be shown to the Paris constables represent almost every possible Incident of a polios man's duty, and have been carefully acted In the most realistic! w%j. The young "agent de ville" will be shown how to take charge of a lost child, bow to Intervene in a dangerous quar rel, bow to handle a drunken man. All the games of chance which are forbid den by Trench law win be acted on the screen; the different types of wrongdoers, with their characteristic lmpllments, weapons and dress will be shown. There will be a Aim entitled -Ths Story of a Crime,'* depleting all the processed of Justice from an ar rest up to the Anal scene In court, says the Paris Dally Mall. Finally, to Insplrs ths young officer with emu lation, be will be shown the pictures of policemen who hare met death In the execution of their duty, and of those who have won the Cross of the Legion of Honor for bravery. Colored Motion Plctyrea. There are colored motion pictures that are made so by band, each little picture being painted separately, Charles If. Seay writes In the Ameri can Boy. In making pictures "in nat ural colors" ths Aim Is the same a* that of the ordinary motion picture. But In making It the speed Is twice as fast, 22 pictures to the second. "Colored" pictures are photographed through mats or screens of colored glass.

Hackett, the actor, awoke in his Washington hotel a few days ago to And himself principal heir to a fortune of $2,600,000 left by his niece, Mrs. Minnie Hackett Trow bridge of New York. Mr. Hackett will quit the legitimate stage and ap pear In the movies. Stuck In the Mud. A certain film company were re hearsing a scene on a river bank, the villain struggling with the heroine In a mad effort to kill her. Across the water swims the hero and, seising the scoundrel's knife, he knocks him to earth with a sickening thud. Anyway, that la what was due to happen. But during the actual Aiming of the event the hero discovered that the river was very shallow, and to his genuine horror he stuck fast In the mud. Frantically he tried to move forward; desperately the encounter on the bank was prolonged. All to no purpose! Producer, camera-men, and villain were finally forced to wade Into the stream and release the cap tive hero, and even then his boots remained behind. Worrying the Artlets. Falling over cliffs and Jumping Into livers are part of a picture-actor's work, and for his salary's sake he mustn't complain. But there are In conveniences attaching to his profes sion about which' he Is entitled to murmur, and the latest of these Is the too-ardent admirer. . Every Im portant picture studio is invaded nowadays by enthusiasts who want to see their favorites in the flesh and shake hands with them, under the delusion that is studio la a home of gaiety Instead of a busy factory. Ad mirers who stay at a distance and pour forth their worship hi amorous letters are welcomed by the "star." bat he (and she) objects to their presence when an Important scene Is" being photographed. • Critic Likes "Movies." I had an awfully good time. It seemed like a new experience, with a certain piquancy to It Nothing to do but look! Plays were there, with out voloes, and the very silence was enjoyable. Then one's Imagination was allowed to work so agreeably. I prefer my own Imagination to the "words" that are cast on the screen. Sometimes these words, banal and trite, spoil the Illusion. Ia pictures one can imagine such a lot! I love thsm when they don't dot the I's and cross the t's.—Alan Dale. Te Sacrifice Her Hair. ' A noted cinematograph actress, whose red tresses are live feet long, has arranged to sell three feet of her hair to a Paris dealer for £1,400. The hair Is to be delivered In May. A large party of friends will be Invited to witness the cutting of the locks, which will be done with a pair of golden scissors. The scissors will be presented as a souvenir of ths occn. slon to the actress. Cheap Movie Camera. Kaslmlr de Proexynskl, who has been called "the Polish Edison." Is exhibiting in London a moving picture camera that takes and projects pto tures with the same apparatus. In stead of an ordinary tapelike film.

How the Act of a Cat Saved the Life of a Condemned Prisoner. By L. B. KINDER While anarchy raged openly In the chief cities of the Russian empire, which threatened to collapse beneath the assaults of the revolutionists, the death of Prince Droboken, governor of an obscure province on the eastern border, attracted so little attention at St. Petersburg that for months no suc cessor was appointed. Nevertheless, affairs went on aa smoothly as before tinder guidance of Princeas Sonla, who had in fact ruled In her father's name since the latter had been stricken with paralysis ten years prior to his death. Rumors of distant strife produced but little effect upon the inhabitants of this province, who had never bad occasion to protest sgslnst oppression by the governor. Thus it was that while tjie "Little Father" hid In bomb proof chambers, the princess con tinued to hold her Thursday afternoon levees with perfect safety.- The only danger to be feared was from outsid ers, but sven here the good will of her people protected her as no guard could have done. A dosen times revo lutionary Instigators were driven from the province or delivered Into her hands by Indignant peasants, who henceforward regarded all strangers with suspicion. Hostile eyes therefore greeted the unfamiliar garb of the petitioner Lu pinskl, who came from the mountain region, a long day's journey northeast of Klkamsjt. Bonla, however, received him kindly and. although compelled to deny his suit, gave her reasons In detail and placed In bis hands a purse of silver. The good looking young peasant failed to grasp the mesnlng of her words, until bestowing the purse, she gently dismissed him. Then, real izing that bis petition had failed, his dull, eyes flsred Into a blase and his voice filled the room with passionate outcry. The palace guards precipitously sur rounded him and at Sonla's command led him without Injury to tbe city gate, where he was set free with a warning not to return. With that im passive dignity for which hsr family | had long been noted, the princess re ' sumed her audience and continued to receive petitioners until the laat had been heard. Yet, when the day's business was over and shs redlned in a massive leather chair before her boudoir's open' Are, she trembled at thought of the peasant fiery eyes and menacing worda. , * Soothed by the warmth of tbe flre and the quieting after-dinner coffee, she at length forgot her fears. She yawned and left the chair for a low, wide couch, where she lay gazing Into I tha flre. Her large, white angora cat | stealing In from the outer room, sat composed upon the hearth and washed her fsce, then crouched and purred. Gradually objecta about Bonla seemed absorbed in ths flickering fire light. Her head sank deeply Into the fluffy pillow and her eyes closed. The blazing wood fell and a feath ery coating of ashes gathered upon the coals. The glow faded from the walla and shadows crept up to the hearth, where the angora still crouched, her green eyes intently staring, aa If fastened upon some prey The princess slept, her sweet face turned towards the flre, bar bosom ris ing slightly, the pulse In hsr white throat throbbing with the even pulsa tion of good health. e e e e e The horror of that awakening Sonla will ever remember. A heavy body struck her shoulder and sharp nailed Angers clutched her throat. With a shriek she writhed back from bar assailant and losing bar balance, fell upon tbe floor. Fortunately her outcry had been heard. Attendants rushed to her aid and guarda secured tbe palace doors. Tbe doctor declared the princess unln jured, save for several daep scratches on her throat Meanwhile tha palace waa thorough ly searched for the assailant, and the guarda soon retarned from the outer hall, dragglag a struggling, cwrslpg man. It waa the peaaaat LupWskl,, who had threatened vengeance. Passionately be protested bis inno cence. asserting that he bad returned to beg forgiveneea for his rude eon duct of that afternoon and declaring that be waa moat loyal to bar and to the Russian government Tbe princeea, however, gazed with horror upon the bands raised in fran tic appeal, for tbe Angers were long snd sinewy, snd the long nails were curved and sharp like claws. Again she shuddered an# waived the guard> to remove the prisons.. Luplntkl was given a f( rmal trial ( In which evidence of the accused's : threats against the Princess Sonla, his forcible ejection from.the cjty, his presence, In the, corridor of the gov ernor's place, 1118 attempts at con cealment anil desperate efforts to es cape, coupled with the dastardly na sault In the dark upon the princess, outweighed his dogged denial of guilt. Without leaving their seats, the Jury convicted him and the judge passed the sentence of death. During the week's stay of execution granted the prisoner In order that he might settle his affairs, Sonla scarcely gave him a tboufcht. As a woman she might shrink at thought of his death on the gallows, but as acting governor of Klkamsk, she"regarded him dispas alonately. * » The evening of the sixth day, as she sat along in her boudoir, she had com pletely forgotten that'Luplntki was to be hanged at sunrise, when a serving woman entered to say that a young woman craved audience on a matter of life and death. The slender figure"' that followed the servant let fall a heavy shawl and ad vanced. She was still In her teens and pretty with a wholesome country beau ty, althotigK Hsr usually red cheeks were pale and tear stained. Her brown eyee told aa plainly of a hard day's journey as her mud-stained skirt and muddy shoes. "What Is It, my child?" demanded Bonla, dismissing the attendant with a nod. "They are going to hang Ivan, my sweetheart," cried the girl. "He Is In nocent. Noble princess, save him!" "His name?" « "Ivah Luplnskl. He—" * "He aasaulted the governor of his province with Intent to kill," said Sonla, sternly. "There is some mistake. He could not—" "He received a fair trial. There Is no doubt of bis guilt." "Mercy, gentle princess, and spare his life!" "As a woman I forgive him his cow ardly attack upon my life. But as the ciar's" representative at Klkamsk I must enforce his laws." "Tomorrow at sunrise," muttered the girl, turning away; "he will —" She stumbled and fell half-falntlng towards the princess, who supported her to the couch}.' "You poor thing! You are all worn out," she said, sympathetically. t "I have been walking since mid night." the other answered, attempt ing to rise. "There, there," said Sonla. "Lie still and rest for £ few minutes." She rsng for her woman, who brought a glass of wine, which she made her patient sip. Then, ordering more wood thrown on the flre, Sonla dismissed the servant and from her favorite chair watched the glfl who vainly struggled to keep awake. As tbe wood caught and blazed up the princess turned out the lamp, for she loved the glow of an open flre. The pet angora cat, which had van lahed at the girl's entrance, reap peared and rubbed Itself against chair, and at length sought her favorite place on the hearth, where she crouched, blinking at her mistress. The letter's heart was filled with pity for the sleeper. In vain she tried to think of some way of alleviating tbe other's grief. Pardon Luplnskl abe conscientiously could not. More over, bsd not Providence saved this young womsn from sn unhappy mar riage with a desperado! Nevertheless Sonla was certain that tbe girl would be heart-broken. Again she looked with pity at the figure on the coueh, motionless savs for her breathing apd the even throbbing of the artery at her throat The wood waa consumed and the light grew dim. The dropping of a half burned chunk with lu accom panying flare aroused Bonis. looking up, she waa startled by the greenish radiance of two orba that blazed with the Intensity of lamps. Sonla smiled at her fright and looked curiously at tha cat, wboee eyea did not wsver for a second. Instinctively thinking of a mouse, she drew her skirts closely about her. Following tbe direction of her pet's gaze, she discovered to her amazement that the green eyes were Intently fixed upon the pulse In tbe Sleeping girl's ihroat. Aa Sonla looked , the oat balanced and _ \ T Bcrsamiag. lbs pri limnro frOlu tin couch and supposing herself on her elbow, stored wildly about aa If awak aoed from a nightmare. "Your lover is 'saved!" cried ths princeas, joyonsly.

He is innocent" Toe Orssn. j Daring his last,visit to America Btr Gilbert T-u.'k'bf,novelist, bested a ] New York editor In a discussion of books. Sir Gilbert told the story at a literary luncheon.

MENAGE 10 SEAMEN 4 Shipmasters Always on Lookout for Ocean Derelicts. Abandoned and Unalnkable Vassets Insplrs Sailors With Terror In Foggy Wsather—Danger of Lumbar Bhlpe. New York. —The dismasted, battered hulk of a derelict, floating so low In the water aa to be almost Isvel with the waves, is, of course, a very great danger to navigation, especially In foggy weather. The majority of derelicts are sail ing ships laden with Umber. Tbey may have been dismantled and ren dered absolutely helpleea In atorma, partly demolished by lire, by collision with an Iceberg or by the mere fores of the wavea themselves. The crew, unable to make their ship seaworthy, may h«ve abandoned It In the boats, or have been rescued by some pass ing vessel, but, whatever their fate, their forsaken ship, If laden with wood, remaina practically unalnkable and 1s driven hither and thither over the the mercy of the winds and currents. In course of time the swelling of ths wood cargo may burst the hull asun der, but until this happens or until, the vessel is driven aahore and broken Into matchwood againat some Ironahod coast, It will remain a terror to paaa lng ships. Now and then a steamer may be rendered helpless owing to Its ma chinery becoming disabled, by abort age of coal, by fire or by the loaa of Its rudder or propellor In heavy weather. Its crew may decide to aban don It and take to the boata, but If they neglect to open the sea cocks on their departure their ship may float I for many a long day. I The erratic movements of some derelicts are almost uncanny. Not so very long ago a Norwegian sailing ship called the Crown left Nova Scotia for a South American port. It was lad an with timber and, while still In ths North Atlantic ocean, was overtaken by a terrible storm, which dismasted and left It a battered wreck. The crew, realising It waa useleaa to remain on board, abandoned It and took to the boata, never to be heard of again: but their ship, although It vanished completely for no less than three months, was sighted at the end of this time on the edge of the Sar gasso sea. a good 700 milea from where disaster overtook It Soon afterward It waa alghted off Bermuda, but then disappeared again and may atill be drifting about the ocean. Another sailing ship waa abandoned off Cape May. The crew endeavored to destroy It by Are on their departure but. although It biased furiously, the sodden, waterlogged cargo eventually extinguished the flames. A few later the bulk was off the English coast and It waa thought It would be daabed to pieces on the shore but, altering Its course, it pro ceeded to the southward along the French coast snd was next seen near the Azores. Having got thus far. It procqljofed to cross ths Atlantic and, after covering fully 6,000 miles In Its wsnderings, finally drifted ashore near Panama. Derellcta are sometimes salved and bring In large sums In salvage money to the crews of the ships which tow them Into port.
