26 Pathex Motion Pictures Lillian Gish in "The Children Pay" No. D 4 Three Reels $5.25 Millicent and Jean, orphans, living happily with an old nurse, Susan, are separated by rich relatives who assume care of them. Both girls are unhappy at being apart, so Millicent takes Jean away and they both steal back to Susan. With Horace Craig, who loves Millicent, as counsel, Susan asks for guardianship and is opposed by the relatives. A sympathetic judge sees in Millicent's marriage a solution of the difficulty, and adroitly suggests it to Horace. The young lawyer wins Millicent and the happy pair are assigned as Jean's guardians. Charles Ray in "The Pinch-Hitter" No. D 7 Four Reels $7.00 Joel Parker comes straight from the farm to a midWest college, and after being hazed is assigned as mascot of the varsity nine. Abbie Mason, proprietor of a students' eating house, sees Joel's strength and urges him to take pride in himself. On the day of the big game the heaviest hitter of the team is hurt, and Joel, spurred on by Abbie, steps into the line-up, hits the ball over the fence and wins the game. William S. Hart in "The Border Sheriff" No. D 8 Three Reels $5.25 Big Battle's young pal, Bud Mason, has been killed by Alvarez, one of El Jucaro's raiders. Battle interrupts the band in a raid and kills Alvarez in a gun duel. Battle gives himself up, but is sworn in as a special Sheriff, with a promise of pardon if he rids Arizona of El Jucaro. A spy tells Jucaro of Battle's plans, and the raiders start for the border, carrying Battle's sweetheart, Kate Mason, with them. At Jucaro's desert camp, Battle drives off the raiders, kills Jucaro and rescues Kate. Tom Santschi in "Beyond the Trail" No. D 9 Two Reds $3.50 Clem Martin, a wanderer, finds an Indian dying in the desert. He nurses him back to health, and traveling together they arrive at a lonely cabin, to find a girl living alone with her baby, having been deserted by her husband five months before. Martin traces the husband, finds him in a saloon, and, attempting to force him to return to his wife, is attacked. The Indian, who had followed Martin, shoots the husband and Martin returns to the cabin to marry the girl. Leo Maloney in "Under Suspicion" No. D 10 Five Reels $8.75 Someone on the Calhoun ranch is smuggling drugs, and an air of suspicion pervades the entire place. Tom Hale, a new arrival, gets into a fight with another puncher, and one of them loses a Texas Ranger's badge, but neither will admit ownership. The owner of the ranch and his daughter discover the hiding place of the opium and attempt to take it to the Sheriff, but on the way to town they are arrested by Hale, who in turn is arrested by another man. With the arrival of a third ranger from headquarters, misunderstandings are cleared up and Hale drives Miss Calhoun back to the ranch.
