10 Reel Life "True Irish Hearts" "The Ould Dun Cow" Domino Kay-Be® Prince Jan. 2, 1914 The Chief of the Fire Department issues an order forbidding the men to keep any pets at headquarters — and Prince, a dog, who has become a great favorite with them all, is rafifled off. He comes to Dick Gordon — much to the joy of Mildred, his little girl — 'but to the disgust of his wife. A few days later, Mrs. Gordon is called from her ironing board to the bed of a sick friend — and, in her hurry, leaves the hot iron on the board, setting it afire, and then a basket of clothes. Mildred has been scolded and locked in her room for feeding Prince at the table. She hears the dog scratching and whining at her door — then the smoke begins to come in under the door, but the window is barred, and she is in a trap. Prince runs to the fire house and calls out the company, which rushes to the Gordon's just in time to save Mildred, but not before she has been badly burned. 4, 4, # ^ ^ ^ Thmhomer The Head Waiter By Lloyd F. Lonergan CAST Tames, the head waiter Arthur Bauer Mrs. Hollywood, a society matron Florence La Badie Carl Hollywood, her husband Al Russell Mrs. Green, Mrs. H.'s mother Miss Webb Grace Ethel Benham Butler Nick Woods Guests, waiters, messenger boy, etc. James, the head waiter at Tupelo's cafe, had an exaggerated notion of his importance. He ruled the fashionable restaurant with a rod of iron, and he firmly believed that the women who came there were all in love with him — for how could they resist such brilliancy and such good looks as were his? There was one woman in particular — a young society matron, the leader of an exclusive set — whom he was ambitious, above all the rest, to captivate. One day at luncheon he found her looking at him approvingly — and before leaving, she gave him her visiting card, with "Please call at eight" written on it. James was convinced that he had made a conquest. He went to Mrs. Hollywood's house, attired in his best, carrying a magnificent bouquet of roses and ferns. To his surprise, however, she invited the rest of the family to look him over — and he was then and there told to "report for service next morning." Though James had been mistaken about the lady, she was quite right about James. For he made her a butler to be proud of — lending great dignity to her establishment. Reliance Day Break Dec. 29, 1913 Dorothy La Castra was a spy of the Austrian government — and Duke Henry held her life in his hand. At his orders that she procure from a certain young English lieutenant plans of a fortification which he carried — she followed him to a ball, where, finding him intoxicated at a late hour, she stole the papers from his pocket. Reaching the rooms of the Duke, she was on the point of delivering over the plans, when a letter fell out of the parcel. It proved to be from the young man's mother, expressing faith in his carrying out the orders of his country. Dorothy becomes conscience stricken — and decided to return the plans at the cost of her life. She makes her sacrifice. Duke Henry retaliates and escapes — the woman lies at daybreak in a huddled heap on the floor.
