Alice Joyce and Harry Morey nro at their best in tho wondorful pict ure, "Within tho Law" at tho Arcade Monday and Tuesday. 12-6-tf, niand of a detachment that had been left without an ol'l'lcor; of how ho did cross tho road, losing all but eighteen of the fifty-seven brave men who l'ollowod him, and how ho lost his arm for hii), act. There is something in the faco of Sergeant Wells found only in the faces of men who have seen things which they cannot forget, uncontroll able, crushing things. A sudden taut ness of tho lower lip, a narrowing of tho eyes, a tenseness that he can hot control, are indications of mem ories, perhaps too horrible to ever put into words, perhaps too element al for words. At least most of those things ho does not talk about. Ho waits for them to pass. It Is when be talks of tho inhuman cruelty of the German soldiers that the tenseness conies most noticeably to his face. Ho was himself bay oneted in an arm already shot seven times, while he lay In "No Man's Laud." Tho side of his face was kicked by the boot of a Gerfnan of ficer, bis cheek Is scarred wliero lie waB struck across tho faco by tho hand of another commander. Of the period served In a German prison, and his miraculous escape from the living death from which few men have yet come alive, follow ing a long poriod of pretended in sanity, Wells tells In detull in his turo. Ho has pictures smuggled i'rui.i the German prison. "'The hospital base, is the soldier's little heaven," Sergeant Wells said. 'Not tho one above, but the sacred ground presided over by a Hetl Cross nurse. Wo all hope, that by aome fluke wo will be spared lor the baso hosi ital. It Is tho hope to which we cling." Wells is a Canadian by birth, lie was formerly connected with a Van couver newspaper. lie is recognized 1)3' the Canadian Covei nmont which has suppliid him largely witli tho pictures which lie shows. WellH has lost three brothers and his father in the war. RUBBER WORTH. You will be insured of REAL VALUE in a San !Tox hot water Dottle. Guaranteed 'to givo service. Levy-Vogol Drug iCo.
