(Two-reel Western Drama) CAST The Broncho Kid Hoot Gibson Stella Fielding Mildred Moore "Half Portion" Adams George Field QWING to an unfortunate mix-up in ordering, two towns in the grand and glorious West were deprived of the great indulgence. No, not booze, cigarettes. Goldspur and Lasco, the two towns in question were plumb loco for a smoke. The last pack was put up as a prize and the Bronco Kid won it in the closest race of his career. But over in Goldspur they heard of a small consignment coming on the next stage and decided to go out and meet it. In the meantime, "No-luck" Eddie Fielding had written to his sister to come out and share the prosperity which he anticipated as the outcome of his claim. The next day he found it was worthless. He brooded over this fact a few weeks and decided that he would have to hold up the stage to get money somehow to. support his sister. As luck would, have it he tried to hold up the_ stage the tobacco was on, not dreaming that his sister would come on that same stage. But he was not startled enough by seeing her to desist, and he got the fatal "box" and escaped. Only his sister had seen him and the Broncho Kid, who had tried a rescue but had been prevented by the beauty of Stella. When he learned her story he made a break for Eddie's cabin and surprised him in the act of taking out two cartons of cigarettes. "Terbacer, that's worse than money. They'll lynch you sure if they find that on you." He was right, too. That Goldspur bunch was so rabid that -they decided to hold up the stage themselves. They were like a nest of angry hornets when they found that No Luck Eddie had been ahead of them. They descended on the unlucky: Eddie's cabin like a cyclone. But Broncho had planned it all out for the brother of his new divinity. He had blazed a trail with boxes of" cigarettes away from the cabin and up into a hollow blind where they lost themselves, and when each cowboy had a cigarette in his mouth he straightway forgot about the heinous crime of No Luck Eddie Fielding. ' HOOT GIBSON in "The Rattler's Hiss." (Two-reel Western Drama) CAST Larry Donovan "Hoot" Gibson Marjorie Taylor Mildred Moore Zeb Taylor "Tote" Ducrow "Dusky" Walters George Field THE mid-summer life of the Circle C Ranch would have been pretty quiet had it not been for two things — the practical joking of Lari-y Donovan, the boss of the ranch, and the presence of "Dusky" Walters and his band of outlaws and cattle thieves in the neighborhood. Larry did not know about the band and probably he would have cared less if he had known for all Larry cared about was his little joke and he carried this to extremes. The only person Larry took seriously was Marjorie Taylor whose father owned the neighboring ranch, and he was willing and anxious to surrender to her for life. One day when he was calling on Marjorie, her father came in with a set of green rattles and a large sized shudder. "That's the fifth rattler IvVe killed to-day!" he declaretV Everyone hated rattlers and the peculiar and unmistakable noise that the reptile makes just before he is going to strike would cause a mummy to jump out of its swathings. The episode put a new idea into Larry's head and he began to practice the hiss of the rattler until he had it down fine. He tried it on the gang when he went home, and twenty men jumped forty feet in the air. Just then came word that Dusky Walters had been comered in Turtle Canyon and the whole gang rushed to cut them olf at the pass. Most of the band were captured, but Walters and two of his men came through, though Walters had a bullet in his aim from Larry's gun. He decided to get even with Larry by stealing his girl and taking her to a cabin on the desert. He knew that Larry would follow and he was ready for him. As Larry got to a poisoned spring with his mouth parched and his eyes red and bleary, Walters rose up from the other side of the spring with a gun in either hand. He had the drop but Larry was a quick thinker. The next instant Walters heard the dreaded hiss of the i-attler and he jumped just the same as any one else would have jumped. Only when he came down he was looking into Larry's gun. So the rattler's hiss finally brought Larry to the cabin just in time to save the girl from two lieutenants of Walters'.
