Slowly and softly, without awakening the old officer, she puts the papers back under his pillow and then, stooping over Paul, who has fainted from loss of blood, she kisses his forehead and goes out in a "fadeaway." "Good! Great! Couldn't be better!" cried Mr. Pertell, as Alice came out of range of the camera. "That was better than I dared to hope. This will make a big hit!"
I always did like English plays, anyhow." "Well, we are getting more than our share of them this season. I wish Mr. Pertell would swing to a good American drama again. Say, didn't we have fun at Rocky Ranch?" and as she asked this some of the weariness seemed to slip off Alice as a discarded garment is let fall.
There was some logic in that. Even Mr. Pertell, exercised as he was by the threatened danger to Russ, could appreciate that. "But we must do something," the manager repeated. "I'm doing all I can," Captain Brisco replied. "I'll shorten sail down to the minimum; that will keep us before the wind, and out of the trough of the sea! More I can't do. We must depend on them to pick us up.
"And I say she has a hole stove in her, an' unless it's stopped we'll be at the bottom in a few hours!" cried Jack. "The mast knocked a hole in her and she's takin' water fast. The pumps are no good, but they can be fixed with a little work on 'em." "Keep still!" the captain shouted. "You're under arrest as a mutineer." "No he isn't!" exclaimed Mr. Pertell. "This is my vessel.
"Well, I think this will do," Mr. Pertell announced, as the members of his company gathered on the shore of the Hudson, ready to go back to the larger boat, whence they had come in the two small ones, to depict the pursuit. "It came out better than I expected when I saw that crowd of policemen charging down on us."
"Don't go out there!" warned Mr. Pertell, as Paul started for the spot. "Why not?" asked the young actor. "Because the ice is probably thin all around that place. I don't want two of you in. Hold on, Mr. Sneed!" he cried to the desperate actor. "We'll have you out in no time!"
The bobs were long ones, with bells and large steering wheels in front. "All ready?" called Mr. Pertell, when the players were seated. "All ready!" cried Russ, indicating that the camera was prepared. "Go!" ordered the manager, and the men detailed to push the bobs shoved them ahead. The moving picture coasting race was on. "Here we go!" "Hold on tight, everybody!" "Let's see if we can't win!"
"I know it will not be as pleasant, as regards weather conditions, at Elk Lodge, Deerfield, as it was at Oak Farm," said Mr. Pertell. "But the lodge is a big building, very quaint and picturesque, I have been told, and it has all the comforts, and many of the conveniences, of life. There are big, open fireplaces, and plenty of logs to burn. So you will not freeze."
Often the performers risk their lives to make a "snappy" film, and many accidents have occurred where daring men and women took parts with wild beasts in the cast, or dared serious injury by long jumps. Ruth and Alice watched their father enact his rôle. He did it well, and the girls were gratified to hear Mr. Pertell say from time to time: "Good! That's the way to do it! Oh, that's great!"
"Please tell him to come and see me," he went on. "I would like to talk to him." "Thank you, so much!" returned Alice, gratefully. "I shall tell him, and well, there's no use saying I'm sure he'll come," she went on with a shrug of her shoulders. "It's going to be rather difficult to break this to him. It it's so different from what he has been used to." "I can understand," responded Mr. Pertell.
