"SHE AND ALLAN" By SIR KWKK HAGGARD A Companion Story to His World-Famous "She" and "Allan Quatcrmain" their stomach sickness, so that she--vouldl have nothing to fear. Sho answered, with her slow smile, that she feared Then we parted, as it proved, for a long time.

It was quite ceremony, Umslopogftaa, "In the name of the Axe," solemnly jrava over Inez to the charge of his two fol- lowers, bidding them guard her with so. much earnestness that I began to suspect' he feared something which ho did nob choose to mention. I also gave Hans instructions to keep sharp eye on Inez nnd generally watcii the place, and if he saw anything naapl-' clous to communicate with us nt once "Yes," said Hans, "I will look aftafi 'Sad Eyes'for so with their usual quickness uf observation our Zulus had named: Inez, "as though she were my grandmother, though what: there Is to fear for her, do not know But I would much rather come nnd look after you, as your rovcrend father told me to do always, which if my' duty, not girl-herding, Baas. Also my foot is now quite well and I want to shoot aea- cows, and bore he paused, "And what, HansV" "And Goroko said that there was going to be much fighting, and if there should be fighting and you should come to harm Iwcnuse 1 was not there to protect you, what would your reverend father thlnic of me then?" All of which I took at tho time to nw two things that linns never liked being separated from me If he could help It, and that he much preferred a shooting trip -to stopping alone In this strange placo with nothing to do but ent and sleep. In realty Hans was putting up a most gallant moral struggle ugaiust temptation.

As I found out afterward Captain had been giving him strong drink on I lie sly. Also he had shown him where, if he wanted it, he could get more, and linns always wanted gin very badly indeed. "You will stop here, Hans. Look after-the young lndy and nurse your -foot," I said sternly, whereupon ho a slirh and nsked'for some tobacco. Meanwhile Onptnin Robertson, who, think, had been taking stirrup cap, was making his farewells down in tho ViUBge, for I saw him there klsBing-n collection of half-breed children, and giving Thomas i Instructions to look after them nnd their' mothers.

Returning at length he called Ms. Inez to "keep a stiff upper Hp" and-nefcj feel lonely, and commanded the cavalcadsjt to start. So off we went, about twenty of the village natives, nrmcd. with every kind 8 gun, marching nflefld hnd singings1 Then came tho wngon with Cnptnin Robertson and, myself on the driving boat, "and lastly UmslopogasB and his Zulus, r.v MtaiLVWtW. AM1 -'1 VLi It' n.fe mill' IJ1I i This photogrnpli of Lndy Astor, the American-born peeress, was tnkeu Just before flhe entered the House of Commons to take the seat to which she had been elected to succeed her husband, Lord Astor.

She was escorted by her eldest son, also shown in the picture. Of Interest to women readers the simple costume Lady Astor elected to wear upon her initial appearance as the first woman legislator to take a sent in tho House of Commons. I could get no more out of him, so, having extrnctedn promise from him that nothing should happen to Thonuiso, I went away. Still, the whole incident left a disagreeable impression on my mind, and 1 begun to wish that we were safe across the Zamousi. But we could not start at once, because two of the Zulus were stilt not well enough to travel and there were many preparations to be made about, the loads, since the wagon uiUsst be left behind.

Also, Hans had sore upon his foot, resulting from the prick of a poisonous thorn, and it wjts desirable that this should be quite healed before we marched. So I was quite glad when Captain Robertson suggested that we should go down to certain swamp- to take part in kind of hippopotamus battle. It seemed that at this Keason these great animals frequented the place la numbers; also that by barring neck of deep water through which they gained it, they, or a proportion of them, could bo cut off und killed. This had been done once or twice in the past, though not of late, pcrhlips because Captain Robertson had lacked the energy to organize such a hunt. Now he wished to undertake it again, taking advantage of my presence, both because of tho value rfC the hides of the sea-cows, which were cut up, and sold as sjamboks or whips, and because of the sport of tho thing.

Also, I think he wished to show me that he. was not altogether sunk in sloth and Great preparations wcrem ado. The riverside natives were Biimmonod by hundreds nnd sent off to their appointed stations to bent the Bwamps at a signal given by the firing of a great pile of reeds. Then came the, time for us to depart to tho appointed spot about twenty miles away. Captain Robertson, who for the time had cut off his gin, wns as active about the affair as though he were once more in command of a mall steamer.

Nothing escaped his attention and I learned how able man he must have been. "Docs your daughter nccompany us?" I asked on the night before we started. "Oh, no," ho answered; "she would only be in tho way. Sho will be quite safe here, especially ns Thomaso, who is no hunter, remains In charge of the place wit.1i a few of the older natives to look after the women and children." Later saw Inez herself, who said that she would have liked to come, although she hated to see great boasts killed, but that her father was against it because he thought she might catch fever. I agreed, though in heart) I was nnd said that I won Id leave Hans, whose foot was not as yet quite well, and with whom she had made friends, as she had done with Ilmslopogaas, to look after her.

Also, there would bo with him the two great Zulus, who were recovering from Impression by her work that she was asked to sign a contract with Goldwyn for several years; Miss Pawn 1h unusually Her hair Is very light and fluffy and the sort that Is easily adjustable to the newest vogue in coiffures. She has a clear, fair skin and large blue eyes that photograph very well. Sho is of medium height, pleasingly graceful, and is always smartly gowned. Her home Is Norfolk, and before she nsplred to picture fame her ambition was to be a stenographer. Her picture public is gind sho abandoned the typewriter.

In "Toby's -Bow," Miss Pnwn plays the part of a budding youug authoress. Norma Talmadge In 'Probation A picture with a plot, characters who star who Is one of the best thnt can be had, excellent photography and good direction nil make up Norma Talmiidge's Select Picture, "The Probation Wife." The story Is about a girl who, after having spent most of her life In a fast cafe and two yenra in reformatory, offers her self to a wealthy New Yorker In exchange for clothes and tho luxuries of life. Jluch to her surprise, he marries her. She calls herself his probation wife. The term of IN a rci-eitttr published article "Orcek Mylholosy and Art In Motion." Jerome l.achcnlii-iii-li has told tfumetlilng the Interesting plans I'aul Swan, the dancer, to I'iiikc the hcautfcH uf classical life vital to the Bcluwl children of the present day.

The picture screen is to be the medium through which the old Greek tteencs and customs arc to be brought Intimately to modern knowledge nnd l'aul Swan himself, who once was borne about the 8 1 roots of Athens mi the shouldprs of the adoring Greeks, as reincarnation of Ganymede himself, is to make the undent loveliness of Classic line und post ure a part of everyday kuowlege by putting It on the screen. A few years ago, this young dancer was brought to Nashville by the Art Association und the people hero still remember with delight the grace and beauty of his Interpretations, among these particularly a dance of the boy Nascissus, which was as lovely ns a page of pagan verse from the heart of a world still In the springtime of life. In the nrtiele quoted, the writer tells how this modern lover of ancient and unforgettable beauties became nn authority on the customs of Greece through the medium his art. "In his early years," says the article, "Swnn wns a ploughboy, trudging behlud his team on a Nebraskyi farm. Tho crude Ideal of beauty which made him run away from home to seek some meusure of satisfaction in the creation of beauty In the art classes conducted the Chicago Institute of Art, urged him still further, until his quest took him all around the world.

Ouce enamored of the Greek spirit, he studied ancient frlevws and temple models In the museums of Chicago and New York, at the same time keeping up his work as painter. Through his studies, he was led to an' examination of old parchments, reports of ancient historians and other data. Finally, he went to Athens. And there, in the Temple of Bacchus, he danced for the first time. Since then, he has devoted much of his time-to the Interpretation, In plastic motion, of tho customs of ancient Greeclnn, Roman and Egyptian civilization.

AN his interpretations are based on a study of tho legends und the history of these peoples." Plans for the proper filming of nil this beauty and sentiment are tenfcitlve as yet. The work Is to bo undertaken by the Goldwyn studios, which promises well for Its success. Its aim Is largely educational. Mr. Swan has become convinced that to bring both history and art to the children In our public schools, the motion picture has untold possibilities, for Ideas of motion and -drama fill their fresh imaginations, so that the influence of the photoplay, when it hns a tale of history or of art to unfold, Is immeasurable.

"What spark of he says, "It may kindle. In the mind of some dreaming youth, what vibn of beauty, what understanding of contemporaneous life, we mny only conjecture." 'Wapi, the Walrus' Is Story of North Founded on the story of the adventurous Journey Into the frozen northlands In which Ronald Byron, celebrated Canadian actor, lost bin life, "Back to God's Country," a picturizatlon of Oliver Curwood's well-known magazine story, "Wupi, tho Walrus," comes to the Knickerbocker Theater for a week's engagement, beginning today. Based on a theme that kindness to animals will be returned to the donor by those animals, the story depicts the life of Dolores Le'Benu, mnid of the wilderness whose kind treatment to forest beasts has taught them to love her. The story then switches to the Arctic regions, where Wnpi, the Killer, a great Dame dog, whose brutal side has-been brought to the surface through the. cruelty of owners, meets Dolores, who saves It from a beating and wins the animal's loyalty.

A race across the Arctic snows with a fugitive from Justice in pursuit is about to be lost by Dolores, and her helpless husband, when Wapi, tho Killer, summons nlLTiis strength and the hatred he has for those who mistreated him Into a supreme effort, attacking the persecutor of his only friend in a fight that resulted in the denth of four animals.

Warren Kerrigan's latest Hodklnson release, "The Joyous Llnr," which comes to the Strand Theater, soon.

Moreover, almost the exact location upon which the film robbery occurs 1b the scene jsf nn exnetly similar auto theft In real life. This happened about year ago, when three thieves 'boarded an auto there, took Its occupants to the end of car Hue, politely bade them good-night nnd made, off with their car. The stopping and boarding of the car was so cleverly worked out that Mr. Kerrigan made use of their methods In his screen story. Lilliun Walker Is the heroine whose beautiful new roadster is stolen from her In the film; but In this case the thieves do not escape.

A husky hero in the person of J. Warren Kerrigan interferes. The holdup takes place In the first, scenes of the picture, nnd upon the result Is based an exceptionally clever comedy and plot situation. Salisbury Rides 'Mazeppa' Himself "The Sleeping Lion," one of Monroe Salisbury's latest UnlverRnl successes, afforded the star his most thrilling moment before the camera. The production required that ai man resembling tho star be lashed to the back of craved horse, to ride tho dreaded "mazeppa" of the plains.

The mnzeppn waB a custom of the old West whereby a man was tied to horse, face up, and forced to ride the pitching animal until the man died or the horse fell exhausted.

"That's your double, wly is going -to ride the mazeppa," answered the director. "He may be my double," Salisbury said, "but he's not going to ride the mnzeppa. I wouldn't let anyone ride the mazeppa on my account" "Who's going to. do it?" the astonished director. aBked.

"Why, I'll do It!" the star answered and he did. The horse pfunged like a row-bont In the trough of a rough sea. Ho jumped In the air and came down limber; then )yi jumped and came down stiff. wns 'enough to break the. neck of the average man.

The result of Salisbury's determination to 'Vide the dreaded mazeppa. was several close-up views of the star which re 'seen in "The Sleeping Lion." Incidentally ho sustained a sprained back.

Near the villo go-in the foothills the ancient temple of Vishnu had to be reconstructed. It was, six weeks in building by a force of thirty workmen under the direction of Benjamin Cnrre, Kazlmova's technical director.

No Love Letters Come To This Stage 'Villain Walter Long, who supported Anita Stewart in Louis B. Mayer's "The Fighting Shepherdess," is one screen actor who never gets any love letters because of his chivalrous qualities, for he Is always cast for villainous roles in pictures. The public never sees him ab anything but a despicable rotter, and off-screen be is one of the moBt popular players in the film colony. When (Jrirnth assembled tue cast lor The Birth of a Nation," he picked Walter Long to Impersonate Gus, the brutal negro who is one, of the first men "marked" by the Klu Klux Klan.
