IMP JANE MARRIES (July 3).— Jack is a rather gay bachelor, given to clubs, parties and poker, but a good fellow notwithstanding, and it is only the fact that he is at the end of his financial rope that causes him to consider seriously a ridiculous will made by his departed aunt that he must be married before his twenty-sixth birthday or her fortune is to be used to establish a home for "Indigent Plumbers." The day of the twenty-sixth birthday arrives, and a curt note from his aunt's lawyer notified him that he must be married by 4 p. m. or sacrifice a fortune to undeserving plumbers. Jack puts it up to the lawyer to get him anyone that will leave him after the ceremony, and goes into the park for a walk. There he rescues a girl from a pickpocket and gets a serious knife wound in the arm before the thug is overcome, and Jack finds himself in the hospital, and only two hours to find a bride. The girl, tearful with gratitude, hastens to her father's office and shows him the card of her rescuer. Her father is the lawyer, and she learns from him that Jack must have a wife in a few hours. Jane, without telling her father, decides to save the fortune for the young man who came so nobly to her rescue, and with her maid procures license, ring and minister and, veiling herself in an automobile veil, goes to the hospital and Jack is married just in time. The lawyer comes to sympathize with Jack in his loss and learns that his daughter has become a blushing and very heavily veiled bride. ExDostulations are too late, and Jane swears her father to secrecy, and returns to her home, leaving Jack in ignorance of h's wife's identitv. Jack's search for and finding of his wife form the conclusion of the story, and Jack's despair when he finds that he has fallen in love with a married woman, is turned to joy when he learns the identity of her husband. PATHE'S WEEKLY NO. 26 (June 23). THE CARRIER PIGEON (June 24).— Every person has heard of the carrier pigeon, but few have ever had an opportunity to study the nature and care of these interesting birds, because they are far from common in the United States. The film treats the subject thoroughly through the different stages of growth of a pair of squabs, their early training, the interesting method of wedging a rolled message to one of the pigeon's tail feathers, the remarkable system employed to determine the winner of a carrier pigeon match, and one scene showing the start of some ten thousand pigeons in a race.

THE HUNGER OF THE HEART (June 25). — Morton Gill, who has no scruples about the manner in which he obtains money for his support, makes the acquaintance, at a summer colony, of young and wealthy Mrs. Stoddard. Mr. Stoddard has made the common error of neglecting to appease the hunger in the heart of his wife by paying her some of the little attentions which won her during their courtship. Mrs. Stoddard, therefore, encourages Gill just a little. Gill attempts to borrow some money from Mrs. Stoddard. She refuses. He takes a necklace which she wears, and it is then that Mrs. Stoddard realizes that she cannot complain without causing a scandal. There seems no hope for Mrs. Stoddard when her husband misses the necklace. But a deputy sheriff arranges things so that the thief is punished and Mrs. Stoddard learns a lesson. CLARENCE THE COWBOY (June 26).— Clarence, a really refined young man, went West to grow strong and sturdy with the rough life of the plains.

The real cowpunchers tricked Clarence into believing that he killed a man. In a panic, Clarence flees. The pursuit is hot, and to escape he unlawfully enters the home of a sweet little Miss, the belle of the town.
