Clinton Harding of the U.S. Revenue Service, sleuthing for smugglers at Smith Harbor, falls in love with Dorothy Dane, the niece of Donald Dane, of whose occupation as a smuggler Harding is unaware. He tells Dorothy of his love and when he bids her good night at her cottage inadvertently leaves his gun. he is stopping at the village hotel and late that night goes to the cottage for his gun which he finds against a tree near the old well, just where he left it. He is about to return when he sees Dane and two fishermen slide down the well rope. Harding hides his gun in the bushes and follows them. At the bottom he comes upon a large cave which extends through the cliff to the sea. He sees Dane and his helpers taking cargo from a small boat at the cave's opening but before he can get away with his information he is discovered by the smugglers and overpowered. Two days later Beatrice Fairfax received a letter from Dorothy saying that her sweetheart has mysteriously disappeared. At the same time Jimmy Barton, a reporter on the same paper with Beatrice, who has been on the trail of the smuggling story, learns that Harding has not been heard from by his chief in two days. The fact that both disappearances occurred at Smith Harbor leads the reporter to connect the two. He advises Beatrice to pay a visit to Dorothy and without taking Beatrice into the secret goes down to Smith Harbor himself disguised as a peddler. While Beatrice is talking to Dorothy, Jimmy as the peddler appears and arouses Dorothy's interests by a display of wristwatches. Dane coming up is induced to put on what he thinks is a watch, but which is in reality a symograph. "That won't tell," he says. "No," Jimmy replies. "It tells secrets. I can sell it cheap because I buy from smugglers." The hand on the dial of the instrument attached to Dane's wrist rises to "high" and Jimmy is elated. As he is going away he stumbles over Harding's shotgun and observes the initials G.H. carved on the stock. He looks down the well and mentally connects it with Harding's disappearance. Quickly hiding his pack Jimmy writes a note telling Beatrice to summon the revenue officers and creeping to the edge of the cliff drops it at Beatrice's feet as she is returning to the village from her visit to Dorothy. Jimmy then returns to the well and lowers himself by means of the rope. He finds the cave at the bottom and sees Harding bound in one corner. He crawls to him unobserved by the smugglers and cuts his bonds, returning to the well opening, where he shouts, "Didn't I tell you that watch told secrets?" As the smugglers rush for him Jimmy climbs up the rope, and Harding running the other way escapes by diving into the sea. The revenue officers arrive in time to arrest the smugglers and the lovers are made happy in their reunion.

This subject is the same as No. 1863 [ANNA HELD], but shown in full length figure. Both are admirable, and make hits either in the Biograph or Mutoscope.

It is the early days of California. Father Sebastian, trudging his way on foot from the Mission, his attention is attracted to the wall of an infant coming from the crest of a ridge. He finds the body of a Spanish woman. Sitting beside its dead mother, a tiny baby greets the Padre's gaze. Lifting the infant tenderly in his arms, the Father resumes his journey, accompanied by an Indian woman, to whom he has entrusted the care of the orphaned child. Years pass by and we see the infant grown to manhood strong, handsome and a true worshiper; the bright eyes of a pretty Spanish maiden turn the head of our Jose, causing him to forget his duty. How, after the Padre has warned him of the danger, he disregards the advice of the Father and leaves in the night with his inamorata; how, in their ignorance of the trails, they wander out into the terrible desert and almost die from thirst and the burning heat; how they are found by some American prospectors and nursed back to life; how Jose lays in a delirium of fever and Papinta returns to another, and the long search of the patient Padre for his adopted son, which is rewarded at last by finding him. The settings are real and beautiful, the locations being chosen from in and about San Gabriel Mission, the sea coast, the Sierra Madre Mountains and the great desert of southern California.

Nothing got the Aussie adrenalin flowing in the early 1900's than some serious gold-fields drama.

This fascinating region was set apart as a Government Reservation, to be known as Yellowstone Park, in 1S72. The park proper is about 62 miles long, from north to south, and 54 miles wide. While the tourist may reach the park entrance by rail, it has been decreed by Uncle Sam that beyond the Great Lava Arch Gateway the iron horse shall not trespass. So here leaving the pathway of steel we take our place on one of the six-horse coaches that run from Gardiner up to Mammoth Hot Springs. Coaching, Troops, Morris Basin, Great Fountain, Pack mules, Riverside Geyser, Old Faithful, Deer and Bear, Upper Falls, Canyon, Field Glasses. Standing on a balcony at Artist's Point we take up the field glass to have a tele-photo panorama of these weird walls with their clinging pine trees. We look down the Great Gorge. On either side walls of exquisite color rise with here and there pinnacle-like great church spires. Above our heads fly eagles who build their nests and raise their young on the top of these lofty peaks. The scene is a powerful one and beyond words, but the Great Falls add force and quality of action which tempers and dignities the whole scene. This enormous volume of water that looks like a curtain of lace, tumbles over a cliff of volcanic rock 310 feet. Here the traveler finds himself spellbound, held by the pure beauty of the scene. In turning away he pauses to marvel at the wonders of nature and the beauties of our great national playground.
