The woman's brother entered the building and seized the package, arrived in the light, he found it was money. He tossed It Into the rear of the truck, under some old quilts, and drove all over Helena, while the entire police and sheriff's force was hunting for the missing cash. "That night, when we saw the paper," said the man. "we were scared, because the boy said he had been slugged by two men. There were

ana we hau the money. If we'd given it up I both be doing time for

the job now. wouldn't we? "We brought it home and hid it. At first we were afraid to use it. Then they boy change dhis story, and we knew he had stolen It. We figured we might as well have some of it, so we started to spend It. Then we decided to divide it. Tro officers came before we divided it, and one of them sat on the money twice. When the officers left we divided the money, 'Mr. Smith' taking his share and leaving the city." And to date neither "Mr. Smith" nor the missing $20,000 has been apprehended.

FILM STORY FROM PEN OF MINISTER NEW YORK, Oct. 24. Censors and blue lawltes may ruminate upon the coming of the film, "Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush." That ntory was written by a Presbyterian minister. Hr was Rev. John Watson, for years pastor of a Liverpool church. He wrote under the nom de plume of Ian Maclaren. The photoplay was filmed in Scotland under the direction of Donald Crip. Frederick Watson, son of the author, located the exact scenes described in the novel. lavld Powell and Mary Glynne hav leading roles. Donald Crup play; the part of Lachlan Campbell, Highland shepherd. This ia his first screen appearance since he played the role of the bruiser In "Broken Blossoms." Powell was born in Glasgow. CrLp to a Scotchman. Miss Glynne is of Scotch parentage. Margaret Turnbull, who wrote the rcenario, was born in Glasgow. Thua one may expect that this film will hold true to the novel settings and atmosphere. Powell found a real tartan waistcoat and a Scottish shepherd's crook for his part. Twenty pipers attached to the Scots Guards at Victoria Barracks appear in several fcents. Another cene phows a dozen Scottish men and women rancing in age from 70 to 100. They were selected from a Ixmdon poor house. The story deals with the love affair of a noble and the daughter of a poor church deacon. The hero'3 father objects to their marriage.

ceremony of the man placing a ring on the girl's finger and pronouncing her his wife. Then her father ordri him away. The hero coca to France. The daughter to Ixndon. Hero returns. Find. the girl. Her father agrees to a church wedding. This plot promise. nothing In the way of dramatic development. Chief interest is in the fact that a Presbyterian minister wrote It.
