Later, on the beach.. Conrad started a flirtation with a strange girl, but fortunately for the miss she knew how to scream. A mile away the police reserves heard it and came on the run. The sea was the only means of retreat, and into it the badly scared "guiders" sought refuge. Lifesavers, coming to the rescue of the fair maiden, pulled them into the boat. Fear of capture put new life into the fleeing men, who turned on these men in the boat and threw them into the water. Then they rowed to liberty. BEAUTY. IN A PROHIBITION TOWN (Aug. 23).— The cast: Mr. Boozely (Orral Humphrey); His Wife (Jo Taylor) ; Black Beard (Joe Massey). Directed by Orral Humphrey. Mr. Boozely resides in a prohibition town, but manages to keep himself pretty well supplied with the demon rum, to the disgust of his wife. She is a temperance advocate, and when a gentlemanly purveyor of corkscrews and bottle openers calls upon her she reads him a blistering lecture on the evils of drink. She also discovers Boozely taking a surreptitious nip from a bottle, and, seizing it, hurls it through the window, striking the peddler, who is just leaving the house. Boozely dashes from the house to find a drink and, snatching a bottle from men drinking, he is about to drink when he discovers it to be ginger ale. He next tackles a workman eating his lunch, but finds he has only coffee. Thirsting for a drink, he finally discovers men entering a suspicious looking joint by giving a secret rap on the door. Boozely concludes it is a blind pig emporium and, studying the signs, gains an entrance. Here his real experiences begin, as the place is an anarchist meeting and he barely escapes with his life. When he finally reaches his own domicile he finds an express package of booze awaiting him, but he hurls it out the window, and raising his right hand vows, "Never again." MUTUAL SPECIAL FEATURE. THE SECRET OF THE SUBMARINE (No. 15 — Two Parts — Aug. 28). — "I am Miss Burke," said Cleo, addressing the driver of a closed taxicab in front of her hotel. "Is thU the car Lieutenant Hope sent for me?" "Yes'ni," answered the man. Little did Cleo know when she clambered into the vehicle that the conspirators who had pursued her were weaving another net to get her in their power. When the car had left the main thoroughfare she was bound and gagged. The chauffeur was given instructions and the next thing Cleo remembered was when she was being carried along a dilapidated pier. At the far end was a weather worn cabin. Into this she was thrown. The silence was broken by one of her captors. A light was brought in and she discovered to her horror she was the prisoner of Mnhlin and Satsuma. The men questioned her about the secret and when she insisted she could tell them nothing they left, vowing to return and make her pay the penalty. Meantime, Lieut. Hope, returning to his hotel. lamed that Cleo had left an hour before. He went to police headquarters to urge the authorities to do their utmost to locate the girl. Just as he was leaving the police headquarters, a patrol wagon backed up and out of it scrambled two policemen with a fashionably dressed young man between them. Lieut. Hope recognized the prisoner as Gerald Morton. Hope inquired the reason for Morton's arrest, but failed to connect him directly with Cleo's disappearance. Morton paid for Olga's murder on the gallows at San Quentin. Morton partly repaid the injury he did to Cleo by telling Hope the key to the secret for which Olga made a desperate attempt ending in her death. Hope felt that the secret of the sub
