A KIND-HEARTED POLICEMAN. In this picture a man who is vested with authority to ■tn'oivo the law, but, unlike the usual sort of men MKupying the same position, he is so kind-hearted hat ofttitnes he ' '1 by his sentiments. nnl is very Indiscreet In meting out just punish nent to offenders, lie is patrolling In the country, .vhere 1 are not u ince in i while it will happen that somebody is guilty of in act that is not just in keeping with propriety. His tirst duty is to arrest a pair Of lovers whom lies kissing, bur when he comes upon the ove-sick couple, anil threatens to arrest then', his icart is softened by their tears, so he allows liierr in go their way v. Next lip and following one of their number, a woman, lie examines the contents of her basket and discovers that she has some rabbits tliey trapped, so threatens to lock her up. Bui she. like all good women, uses her tears to advantage :mil when the officer sees her grief it is foo much for him. and he gently dries her eyes with the corner of her apron and lets her go on her way. II is next encounter is with an old woman and little girl, whom he finds stealing some fire wood. When he threatens them with the law the same thing occurs — a shower of tears -so he gives the old woman some money and with a kind word lets her go. Next he meets a tramp on the highway whom he proceeds to admonish, but at the same time gives the unfortunate the price Of a meal. Finally he has an opportunity to show that he is of some value as an officer; for, as be is returning to the station, he comes upon a ruffian healing a.i old man. He quickly grabs the fellow anil after ■ desperate resistance, lands him in jail. Finally. we see him return to his home, where he sits down to enjoy a hearty meal with his happy familv. 442 feet. THE DOG AND THE PIPE.— In this funny pic tine we see a young lady with her pet dog. occupying a compartnment In a traveling eoacb. A stranger enters and proceeds to make himself as comfortable as possible in anticipation of a long jojnrney. The lady is deeply absorbed In a book ami does not take any notice of her fellow passenger till he lights a cigarette, whereupon she becomes indignant and asks him if he will kindly refrain from smoking. lie very gallantly extinguishes the fire and thinking that a good cigar might meet with her approval, tries that, but after a puff or two he is compelled to give this up also. Finnaly betakes out a pipe with a hope that it will be a little more agreeable to the young lady. By this time the young woman has lost all patience with the traveler, so seizes the pipe and throws it out of tbe window. For revenge he grabs her dog and docs the same with the poor inoffensive animal. while the woman looks on powerless to help, for the train is now going at a great rate of speed. The next picture shows us the dog as he lands on the track, picking up the pipe and starting it: pursuit of the fast-moving train. He keeps up with it for a long distance, and finally when the train slows up it gives Mr. Doggie an opportunity to get past it. He reaches the station before the train and when the couple alight, there sits the animal with the pipe in his month. The man is ■o glad t" get in pipe back that be jumps with ..i hastens uwaj while the bappj woman goes m the opposite direction with her pet. !-'■ THE POISONED BOUQUET, An Italian Tragody nf the Fifteenth Century (Vltagraph), Co I ian.es, -a is iteated on a dlavan In a room ot tier luxuriantly furnished palace, Acta Met. ber Nubian slave outers and ushers In Count Antonio, then bows low ami leavi i. .in., warmly, lie kisses ber, then seats hlmsell al le tabic.
