« OTlON PICTUR MAGAZINE ft Z5/?e July Shadowland The Magazine of Magazines The best issue yet published. It will open up the sap of youth in your heart: it will frown its disapproval on the stupidity and dulness of an indifferent world; it will smile its blessing on the beauty of the world; it will weep over a moment's delay in the march of progress; it will announce the newest and most eagerly looked for eccentricity from Paris; the latest portraits from the most artistic of photographers ;themostrecentextravagance of the most recent star lighting up the electrical world of fame — it will interest, annoy, tease, provoke, please, defy, arouse your wrath, and your admiration— but it will not leave you indifferent! That is its object in the world! Gentle Reader, it is our privilege to announce the most interesting literary article of the month, written bv Heywood Broun, one of the foremost dramatic writers of the country, who will frequently contribute to Shadowland in the future. There will be a story about the Theater Guild — that new and powerful force in the dramatic w o r 1 d, — by Frederick James Smith. Gladys Hall, the wellknown and popular interviewer, has visited Lenore L'lric — and gives us a very vivid story about this famous Belasco star. Our cartoonist, VVynn Hoicomb, is in Paris — and we will soon have some articles and pictures which we arc sure will interest you. There's nothing like being right on the spot to . local color, says Wynn. rather extraordinarily tall and a bit dangerous. The two men retreated, and Brokaw, a flabby, obese creature, toncbed his hip poeket. "I'm David Raine," the newcomer said distinctly, "ami I'm going to take Miss O'Doone to her people, provided"— politely, tho bis exes bad steely gleams — "provided you will kindly tell us where they may be found." Hanck chose to bluster. "She's my niece. What business is it of yours?" "She's not your niece," said David grimly, "and you'll find what business it is of mine if you try to meddle with her again.'' The two drew aside and consulted. When they turned back their manner had changed. They were cordial, almost efttisive. They proffered food, pushed the Dottle of spirits toward David and leered at Marge with bared, yellow tusks. "We'll be glad to tell you all we know," Hauck said oilily. "but the girl looks tired. Go up to your old room, Marge — why not? We'll entertain your friend here for you !" After she had climbed the steep stairs, heavy-eyed, she stopped at the top to wave her band to her new-found friend. "Goodnight, Sakewawiu !" Hauck started, and for an instant his face became convulsed with rage. He and Brokaw looked at one another significantly, and David, under lowered lids, caught their anger, but gave no sign. Whatever the cause, Hauck restrained himself and answered questions civilly enough. The girl had been given them when she was not more than four years old by a man named Tarvish. "He had stolen her mother from her husband when she was out of her mind with fever," he explained, with a malignant grin; "a pretty woman — you cant blame him. Women were scarce in Firepan Creek those days — scarce enough now, for that matter. And some men are finicky about holding truck with squaws " David listened, gazing down at the table. He could have choked the man for his relish of Tarvish's beastliness, but he must bear more. "The father — O'Doone, what was he like?" Hauck shook his head. "I never saw him. They say he became a priest afterward to save "himself from going out of bis mind. But he never knew what had become of his family. Me an' my wife brought Marge up decent. She's got no kick coming. You'd better leave her with me, young fellow." There was veiled menace in the tone. David shook his head. "I'm going — " He never finished that sentence, for, without warning, the world crime to an end with a crashing blow on the head from behind. Over his limp body Brokaw nodded evilly at Hauck. "No half-way job, eh? We'll finish it! But first we'd better make a place readj to put him, then afterward I'll take the ^irl and tomorrow you can come to my cabin for the money." David crawled painfully out of a black to find Marge O'Doone standim ■ him, shaking him frantically, while her tears dripped down on hi~ face. "Oh, I afraid they'd killed you!" she quiy "I was listening—] saw him hit you' They will come back — can you walk? Ob, you must walk " David staggered to bis feet, wa his teeth. "Sure I walk," he reassured her. A phrase from his old doughboy days came to his lips, The memory of that flight thru the darkness was never mute clear to David Raine afterward, being mingled with wheeling rockets that whizzed across his brain, the snuffling of the great grizzly at The -^^^ 20^ Century W HEALTH AND BEAUTY You should know the value of this modn, scientific and effective mode of aiding nature to restore health.
