A Story of "The Perils of Pauline” to be Shown in Pictures. Synopsis of previous chapters: Mr. Sanford Marvin, a rich, retired manufacturer, has died and left half his fortune to his son, Harry, and the other half to his adopted daughter. Pauline, to lie held in trust for her by his secretary, Raymond Owen, with the proviso that in case of her death, before marrying Harry, her share of the fortune should go to Owen. Owen is trusted by Pauline, but plots her death that he may secure the fortune. He persuades her to go up in an aeroplane which lie knows is defective. Harry, however, prevents Pauline's ascension, and although the aeroplane falls and ( *tlie aviator is killed, Pauline escapes, and does not suspect that Owen lias anyth.ng to ! do witii the accident. Story of the third episode: Owen, foiled in his last attempt, consults witii his race track friend, Hicks, and they plot, what they consider an easy way to get rid of Pauline without arousing suspicitn against themselves. They persuade an old reformed pirate to tell Pauline a story' l of hidden gold, trusting to her love of adventure to he aide to persuade her to search for tills gold. The old pirate tells Ids story well and Pauline consents to go on the treasure hunt. She has a quarrel with Harry before starting, and will not allow him to accompany her. But Harry, not trusting Owen, gets on board the linci in the guise of an old man. and in this disguise warns Pauline against having anything to do with Owen, Hicks and the pirate. This naturally arouses the anger of the three conspirators and they try to put “the old man” out of the way. Though they do not succeed the scene is very spectacular and the hired villain gets what he deserves. Three other reels will be shown . uesdaw. Don't fflil to come.

WE should be thankful for the fact that our country is prosperous; for bountiful crops; for our ability to help our fellowmen desolated by war; and because, here in our own community, the course of trade is going on with little check or difficulty. The contrast between our condition and that of those war-shattered towns and fields, should make us contented, cheerful over our own better lot. You may think this has little or nothing to do with the clothing business. But any consideration of the benefits of peace which we enjoy has something to do with every business. We should all go about our business, whatever it is, with thankful hearts. Our business is to sell Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes to the men and young men of this locality We're attending to it diligently and cheerfully.
