38 THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY "Kaintuck's Ward." Two-Reel Western Drama CAST. Kaintuck Robert Burns "Broadway" Hammersley Charles Dorian Wolf Hall Dick La Reno Patience Peggy O'Dare Mexican Woman ... ...Natalie Warfield J^AINTUCK was known to the frequenters of the saloon as a square handed gambler who had never been known to turn a crooked card. Wolf Hall, the saloon-keeper was just his opposite. "Broadway" Hammersley who had struck a rich vein of ore on his claim, came to town — to meet his girl who was coming from the East to marry him, and to hit the high spots. The girl — Patience Crocker — was delayed on her journey, so Broadway hit the high spots first. He gambled away all the gold he had brought down with him and then had to go back and dig out some more. Before he left for the hills he asked Kaintuck to give an eye to Patience when she arrived and to tell her to wait patiently for his return. Kaintuck promised, and when Patience arrived, he did everything for her comfort— giving her his own cabin and telling her that the cabin belonged to Hammersley. So Patience took the cabin and waited. Broadway was away a long time and Kaintuck was very attentive — incidentally he was very much in love, but he wouldn't have told the girl for worlds. Then the busy-bodies began to wag their tongues and through her Mexican help Patience heard that they were saying that she must be Kaintuck's mistress. Patience was furious and left the cabin straightway. She used the remaining money she had to start a little restaurant and so keep herself till Broadway should return. The restaurant boomed and Patience made money. Her most enthusiastic client was Kaintuck, but she wouldn't speak to him because she had now found out that he was a gambler and that he had won all Broadway's money from him. At last she gave Kaintuck a lectui'e and told him that his gambling — square or not — was the cause of misery to many families. Kaintuck thereupon made a new rule for his layout — no man with a wife and family was allowed to play. Wolf Hall had no such scruples, and in addition he played "fresh" with Patience. So Kaintuck thrashed him and the busy-bodies started their tongues again. At last Hammersley returned with a new supply of gold but Wolf Hall took him on. Wolf won all Hammersley's gold and his claim as well, but Kaintuck discovered that Wolf was using marked cards so he gave Hammersley back his money and his claim and he thrashed Wolf again. Patience saw all this through the window, so when Hammersley went to her with a boasting story of how he had gambled and lost and then won everything back again, she concluded that she wasn't going to marry a gambler and liar combined and instead she married the gambler who told the truth and played square — Kaintuck. And Kaintuck gave up the gambling joint — they sold the restaurant and went out to find happiness and perhaps gold under the open sky. Hearst News.

No. 52. jyjR. Solomon W. Hardesty, age seventy-seven, who lost one eye in the Civil War and became totally blind five years later has become an expert poultrvman, as the people of San Gabrial, *Cal., will testify. We are then allowed a few merry little glimpes of how Japanese motion picture actors "pull off" their big fight scenes. Next we see the evolution of the skull from the time, when the Osteolepis, a primitive fish had its being, eighteen million years ago, all the way down to the present thought tank of man, capable of thinking up new ways to beat the H. C. of L. Our chemist this week experiments in what scientists call "suspended animation." by dipping a live gold fish into liquid air. It apparently is dead, yet it is quickly restored to life when replaced in water. Some very funny answers given by children to examination questions complete the issue.
