Very instructive course in industrial

Marian I. Hill, pretty co-d at the

power of being able to tell whether
a-person is lying or telling the
truth just by placing the tips (if her
fingers on the subject's muscles, or,
for that matter, she can very nearly
tell what the person is thinking
about. .
"She is a muscle reader." it was
explained by Professor F. C. Sharp,

power through long practice."

The sweetest girl in pictures-
in the screen version of Grace Miller White's
famous novel of throbs and thrills
"Judy of
Rogues' Harbor"
IF you liked Mary Miles Minter
in "Anne of Green Gables," you
will love her in "Judy of Rogues'
Harbor," for it is a story so full of
human interest that it will pull at
your heart strings and make you
sigh and sob, laugh and cry, all in
the same breath. "No matter how'
much it hurts, keep on loving," says
Judy, and you'll agree with her.
A HAUNTED house, a garden of
roses, a lovely lady, these
things made Judy's dream of happi
ness come true. She had been
cheated out of her birthright and
placed in the keeping of an ignor
ant, superstitious, cruel old man.
And to save her little pal Denny, she
took two blows for every one in
tended for the little fellow. Would
you make such a bargain?
Also the "king of cuckoos" in a ;2-part
avalanche of howling hilarity!

Daylight taw him tripping lightly between the kitchen and the dining room or the
