MOLLIE KINO, STAR OF PATHK POPtJXAR SERIAL, "MYSTERY
OF THE3 DOUBLES CROSS."
'ITH The Portrait of a King"
comes the 14th episode of "The
Secret . Kingdom," Vitagra.ph'B 16-chap-ter
serial of romance and adventure,
featuring- Charles Rtchman, Dorothy
Kelly, and Arllne Pretty.
The story has to do with a Balkan
Principality, Alania, and the plots to
do away with Phillip, rightful heir to
the throne. Phillip, who has been
reared an American, reaches Paris with
Juan, his faithful follower, and there
they read of the situation in Alania,
and receive word from Paul Barreto,
who has escaped from prison, recommending-
an Immediate visit to Alania
by Phillip, for Siraond's rule Is op
pressive, and Phillip, the lost Prince
of Alania, would be wildly and gladly
hailed as the rightful king. So they
start for Alania at once.
Count Ramon and Madame Bavatz,
who have been carrying out the de
signs of Slmond, the usurper, arrive In
Alania with the Princess Julia, daugh
ter of Slmond, in their custody. Prin
cess Julia accuses her father of as
sassinating Phillip's parents, but he
feigns sudden heart failure and in her
distraction she forgets the matter for
the moment.
Count Ramon, with a plan in mind,
wants to get hold of the papers prov
ing Phillip's claim, papers that Savats
holds. She is suspiolous of her lover's
anxiety and withholds them.
Ramon is received by Slmond, who comflture.
demands the proofs. Ramon tells him
that the papers, will not appear until
the ruler agrees to force Princess Julia
to marry him. - Slmond is enraged at
this, but when Ramon threatens to
make public the prAof of Phillip's
right to the throne, he is forced to
give In.
While Ramon has made Slmond
think that he has the proofs in his
possession. Madame Savatz holds the
papers. To her Ramon goes and tries
to Induce her to give them up. "You
can have them the day you marry me,1

II. Phillip's father, which hangs in the
great hallway. She notes the resem

who evades the matter by telling her
that reasons of state dictate her im
mediate marriage to Count
Horrified, Bhe refuses. Just then the
large picture falls and Simond, seeing
in this a ghostly manifestation, is
moved to confess his crime to his
daughter.
Ramon meanwhile has laughed to
scorn Savatz proposal that he marry
her, and he attacks her in an effort
to get the papers. But she has craftily
hidden them. Surprising him as he
searches, she disarms him and forces

that he is. Captain Stafrin kept a
straight face and said nothing. Then
he sprang his joke. As each smoker
of the "paper pill" took up his posi
tion, a soldier that was acting as or
derly distributed cigarettes to the few
that had courage to admit they smoked.
Then there was business of painful
consternation and dismay on the faces
Ramon, vf the many other smokers in the ranks.
Here is the story: One day last week
Captain Stafrin discovered the ground
around the company quarters was
strewn with cigarette butts. He said
nothing until his company was lined
up, then he called for all cigarette
smokers to step to the front. They
stepped out and they were ordered to
pick up the butts. The smokers were
caught napping last week. They were
sure they weren't going to be caught
when it came to fesslng up again.
That is why many of them are not
smoking the cigarettes presented to
the company by - Dallas admirers.

MAJOR MARITJS B. MARCELLUS
and Sergeant Q. A. Parr, of the
Sanitary Troops, returned Thurs
day from a week's inspection trip ot
all of the Third Oregon units in the
field. Barring a few ailments such as
mild sore throats, the health of the
soldiers in the field Is splendid and
they are enjoying the coming of the
Oregon Spring. At most places where
the soldiers are encamped there Is
plenty of good fishing and hunting and
between times the men enjoy the out
door sport.
Major Marcellus said that mountain
trout is on the bill of fare of almost
every camp. Not a man at any of the
camps , expressed a desire to return
home and, while guarding property and
picking up suspicious characters is not
always a pleasant task, there is just
enough of the Spring fishing trip to
break the monotony of soldier life.
.
Major Arthur M. Edwards, United
States Quartermaster Corps, who has
made a splendid record f.or himself in
getting the tons of equipment for both
the Third Oregon and the hundreds of
regular Army recruits at this station,
has not been so busy that he is over
looking a bet. He has a force of men
at work repairing the Government
wharf at Vancouver Barracks, so that
In tne ruture supplies that are shipped
to Portland intended for the Army can
be placed aboard lighters and delivered
at the Government wharf. In speak
ing of this Improvement. Major Ed
wards said: "In the future there will
be no need of Third Oregon soldiers er
any other soldiers walking on thin
soled shoes or complaining about the
length of time it takes to get equip
ment. As soon as the wharf is ready
we will be in a position to get Army
supplies to them as quickly as they ar
rive. "This also may be an opening wedge
to .overcome the objection of shipping
Army supplies or taking on supplies at
Portland.
According to the latest War De
partment - bulletin It is now possible
to acquire rifles at the rate of nearly
950,000 a month by the expedient of
adopting the rifle used by the British
army to supplement the Springfield in
use in the United States. Within three
months, if the Government wishes to
use the production of all the rifle
factories in the United States, it can
provide nearly 3,000,000 rifles for its
Army. The announcement of the War
Department is that it has only adopted
the new rifle for the present emerg
ency, but had under construction types
of heavy field artillery that haveJ
wrought such havoc against the Germans.
It is said that the English rifle does
not in any sense displace the Spring
field rifle, which by the American
Army officers has been considered
superior to the British weapon. The
factories in this country supplying
rifles to the British are able to turn
out 80,000 a day.
1500 SprinKflelda Made Dally.
The Springflelds are being manu
factured at the rate of only 1500 a
day. The English rifle will be recham
bered to take the American ammuni
tion, but In other respects will be un
changed. The chief objection by the
American Army officers is that the
Bprlngfields have a flatter trajectory,
greater range and greater power.
There are in use in the Army about
800,000 Springflelds and about 200.000
of the old style Krags.

habit. That is, one would have thought
they were cured yesterday when Cap

with an Increased salary. An automo
bile has been supplied that he may visit
easily in all parts of the county.

associations, has been instrumental in
