"My Udy's Ankle" One Reel Star Comedy Featuring ROBERT ANDERSON [yj^ COUPERINE, an artist, had married adorable Suzette for love, but alas, it did not buy them the necessities of life. They were pretty much down and out when Couperine got an inspiration and painted a beautiful design on Suzette's ankles and legs, prettier than silk stockings could ever be. The lack of silk stockings was the only thing which kept Suzette from getting a dancing engagement at the Cafe des Arts, but now — with her painted legs, she was the rapre of Paris. The new fad brought Couperine dozens of customers to his studio; long ones and short ones and lean ones and fat ones. And they all fell in love with him and left their husbands for him. Naturally it began to look pretty black for Couperine, especially when the husbands came in brandishing guns and he had to hide the wives. However, he got away with it nicely and then produced Suzette, introducing her as his wife. Everybody made up then, and things seemed to go on in great style, with plenty of money for Couperine and Suzette. Carmel Myers, fascinating star of "In Folly's Trail," and "The Gilded Dream" who will soon be seen in a novel role, in a new story of the gay smart set "The Timber Wolf" Featuring LEONARD CLAPHAM and VIRGINIA FAIRE Red Rider Series, No. 6 "yO be in love meant quite a lot to Kirk MacLean of the Royal Northwest Mounted, but when he received word from headquarters that the father of the girl of his heart was breaking the law, duty of his position actuated him to wTite and inform her of what her father was doing, thereby intimating that there was pressure from higher authority. But life was not all roseate for Jean, even tho the hand of law was destined to be her benefactor through life, for her father, a ci-uel and heartless man, kept close watch over her and made no attempt to keep from her the fact that he was pi'oducing illicit whiskey. Jean finally decides to get word to Kirk MacLean of her ill-treatment so that he can come and rescue her. She bribes a half-breed, who is a tool of Nigel Durant, her father, to take a note to MacLean. The father discovers her ruse, but it is too late to prevent the half-breed's escape. His unceasing attempts to force Jean to divulge the destination of the half-breed prove futile. Kirk dispatches Abner Lee (his colored "jack-of-all-trades") with the note to Jean and expectantly awaits a reply. In the meantime, Jake Wil liams is in jail awaiting transfer to the Headquarters at Regina for trial for various offenses. He is set free by some of his conspirators while MacLean is away, in answer to the message from Jean. Abner, although tortured by Jake and his gang, refuses to tell which way MacLean went Durant sees Kirk coming and awaits his opportunity, when he fells him with a club, fleeing with the thought that he has killed MacLean. MacLean revives and starts after Durant. He overtakes him and in a battle under water overcomes his resistance and kills him. Jake and his gang, who have arrived at the camp, watch the fight from land, where they have bound Jean with a rope and when they see Kirk come up alone, start a fussilade of bullets at him. Jean escapes while the fighting is going on and joins Kirk in time to make a getaway. "THE FLAMING DISK Episode 6. "The Pool of Mystery" Elmo Gray Elmo Lincoln Jim Gray, his brother...
