THE UP-HHX climb (Special — 2 parts— Feb. 16). — Frank Cameron suddenly concludes to leave the passe environment of the East, and goes to Montana to become a cow puncher. In the little town of Sunset, he becomes known as the champion scrapper of the district. Josephine Thompson is a protege — even more — a companion of Mrs. Cameron, in the Far East. The latter, falling seriously ill. and loving her charge, conceives an idea that if Josephine could find and marry l->ank, it would rehabilitate and make a man of him. Slie makes this as a part of her inheritance, in fact, makes her will in favor of her son only on condition that he marry Josephine. After considerable correspondence through detectives and lawyers, Josephine locates Prank Cameron in the town of Sunset. She happens to arrive there one day when Frank Is drunk. Josephine, however. Is a determined yonng woman of business. She secures a license, finds a parson, and sends a message to Frank to meet her at once. Frank, drunk as he is, can stand; but does not realize exactly what is going on. So he allows himself to he married to the apparent stranger. Josephine, having accomplished her disagreeable legal duties, leaves on the nest train to visit relatives who own the Mason ranch in the same state. Frank, awakening the nest morning from his jag, in a repentant mood, registers a great vow never to touch liquor again. In his sober senses, he opens a letter, and singularly enough flnds an offer to become foreman of the Mason ranch. He mounts his broncho and starts for the Mason ranch. Of course, the Mason ranch happens to be the rery place where Josephine is the guest of honor. She Immediately recognizes the handsome Frank Cameron, but he does not know her. (Jradually the man comes to himself, and the woman finds ihe is falling in love with him despite herself. Through the treacherous deviltry of Dick Felton. who has conceived a wild admiration for Josephine and who knows Frank's weakness for liquor, the latter is mercilessly tempted to fall from grace and break his pledge. The variations of this temptation are numerous and interesting, and vividly show the struggle of the strong man against a besetting weakness. The girl is so interested, that she tries to lend a hand; but he. in his pride, hardens his heart and stubbornly concludes to keep up the contest alone with himself. In the interim, he has fallen in love with Josephine, hut knowing that he is alread.fr a married man, he is too much of a gentleman to reveal his true feelings, preferring to suffer his double discomfort in solitude. Between the love of liquor and the love of a good woman, he has a terrible trial. Finally, the great awakening comes about through a clever accident. Josephine visits Frank in his cabin, where he has undergone several stages of martyrdom. A friend happens in at the same time who was a witness to their marriage. Josephine, crestfallen, flees, but the friend remains to Mr. Commercial Photographer, for best work and rates, send to The Chicago Feature Film Co. 4108-22 Lincoln Avenue, Chicago, IlL NO Motion Picture is the acme of perfection, or has the elimination of haze, and the softness so delightful to the eye which makes projection an Art but those that are shown upon a "Mirror Screen."

THE ADVENTURES OF KATHLYN, No. 5— A Colonel in Chains (Feb. 23). — With Kathlyn's revelations of herself as a slave. Prince Uuihallah, her purchaser, has her imprisoned in the dungeon of the royal palace. There she finds her father, whom she' was led to believe had been dead. That worthy gentleman, enraged, tries with his bare hands to end the life of tlie hateful Umhallah, who intrudes upon their presence, but is dragged away by his retainers. This is brought about when Umhallah informs Kathlyn that she is to be the favorite of his harem. This so infuriates Col. Hare that he is about to strangle the dusky Prince, when Kathlyn implores him not to stain his hands with blood. Umhallah staggers to his feet, furious with rage, leaves the place vowing vengeance, promising to return with the executioner to publicly flog his prisoner. As he staggers up the steps in the corridor of the palace, he encounters Bruce, the American hunter, who has found his way into that labyrinth in search of Kathlyn. Umballah suspicions him, questions him and then orders him taken from the palace. In the throne-room Umhallah finds his Councillors, makes his complaint, and it is agreed that Col. Hare must suffer for tampering with his sacred person. A big bahoon escapes from confinement and in prying about perches upon the prison window in the very cell in which Kathlyn and her father are confined. This alert young woman conceives the idea of communicating with the outer world, sending by it a message to its keeper so that Ahmed will get it and further their plans for escape. She rips the insole from her shoe, and writes with the Colonel's indelilile pencil, "In the palace prison. Help. — Kathlyn." She ties tliis about the neck of the monkey and then it is captured by Ahmed, who, seeing the message, at once takes it to Bruce. The resourceful American consults with Ramabai, and they conclude to drive an elephant up to the prison window and pull out the bars. This is done, and so much of the masonry comes free that Kathlyn easily escapes through the opening: but Col. Hare, securely chained to the pillar in his prison, is unable to get away. He tells his daughter to leave, as fortune will free him; so she reluctantly hurries away to the H'are bungalow in the jungles of Allaha. as the scene dims. Kathlyn's safety having been secured, she im mediately begins planning how to release her father. The first move in this project is to secure Umballah by strategy. They accomplish this with the aid of the fascinating Pundita. who pretends to have turned against Kathlyn and assumes to wish to effect her capture. Umhallah, disarmed by rage, immetiiatply starts out in quest of his prey. On arriving at the bungalow, he rushes into the room, hut suddenly finds the door barred behind him by Kathlyn. who is holding a leopard in leash. Thus they take advantage of his fear, and he is forced to sign a release for Col. Hare from the palace prison. Having secured this important document. Bruce. Kathlyn and Pundita, leaving Umballah guarded by the leopard, rush to their elephant with their impedimenta and start to a rendezvous in the jungle, where they are to meet Col. Hare, who is to come when released through the medium of Umballah's message. Umballah, having finally affected his escape with great difficulty, returns to the palace — but too late. The messenger has filed his order, the prisoner has been released, and is well on his way toward the coast. The vengeful Parsee prince, however, is not to be so easily outwitted, and starts his retainers qn dromedaries to intercept the flight of the .\merioans. Umballah, coming up with the rear of the procession, takes a long distance shot and wounds Kathlyn. THE ADVENTURES OF KATHLYN, No. 6— Three Bags of Silver (Mar. 9). — The chance-shot fired hy the villainous but keen-sighted Umballah, makes a bone-bruise upon the fair arm of Kathlyn. This, however, does not stop her flight, or militate against the escape of herself, her daring companion. Bruce, and her father. Col. Hare, who escaped from prison through the machinations of the clevfr Pundita and met them at the appointed rendezvous; before the vengeful Prince and his creatures starte'l in pursuit. Fortunately, the escaping party is accompanied by Ramabai and his faithful wife, Pundita, who are now Kathlyn's staunchest friends and of incalculable assistance in every emergency. Presently they emerge from the jungle and see far out on the plains the white towers and shining minarets standing silhouetted against the sky — Alhabad. the walled city of the desert. They ap proach the town and are received by sentinels at the gates and are conducted into the presence of the Rajah.
