"Are you going?" asked the young moving picture operator, again. "Well, rather than have a row, I will. But I warn you I'll sue DeVere and I'll get my money, too. It's all nonsense for him to say he paid me. Where's his proof? I ask you that. Where's his proof?" "Never mind about that," returned Russ, calmly. "It's your move, as I said before.
"Oh, such a time!" cried Alice, breathlessly. "Where's Russ?" demanded his mother. "After the men Simp Wolley and Bud Brisket!" "Oh, those horrid men!" "He's all right," said Ruth, gently. "He is going to get Mr. Pertell and an officer to go with him." "But what is it all about?" asked Mr. DeVere.
But the latter were too busy focusing their cameras, and getting all that went on in the scenes, to pay much attention to anything else. The least slip meant the spoiling of many feet of film, and while this in itself was not so expensive, it often meant the making of a whole scene over again at a great cost. "Well," Mr. Pertell said at length, "I am greatly interested in Mr. DeVere.
Indeed, I scarcely realized what happened. Do you know anything regarding my father?" "Oh, yes, I can put your mind at ease so far as he is concerned. I presume you were endeavoring to reach his post when this unfortunate affair occurred." "Yes." "Sheridan has ordered Devere abandoned for the present, and the Major's troops are to return to Dodge.
And as the wagon rushed for this haven of refuge, there came sweeping up from one side a group of cowboys, urging their horses to top speed, while, in their midst was Mr. DeVere, Mr. Pertell and the others of the moving picture company who had been left to finish the scene at the slab cabin. "Into the creek! Drive right in!" cried Baldy Johnson. "Run the wagon right in!
Pertell said: "Friends, we will leave in two days for the interior. I want to get some views along the rivers and bayous, where the scenery is wilder than it is here." "And where are we going, may I ask?" inquired Mr. DeVere. "To a place called Sycamore, near Lake Kissimmee," was the answer. "Oh, Ruth!" exclaimed Alice, impulsively, when she heard this. "Yes, dear, what is it?"
The skippers of each were at the wheel as the players took their places, and each boat carried a blackened and greasy mechanician, as looking after high-powered motors was no simple matter. "Well, are we all ready?" asked the manager, as he assigned the players to their places. "All ready, sir," answered Mr. DeVere.
It created quite a sensation at the time." "Poor girl! Was she ever found?" asked Ruth. "Why, yes; I believe she was," said Mr. DeVere, in rather dreamy tones. He was looking over other articles in the paper. "Who got the reward?" asked Alice. "Eh? What's that?" Her father seemed to come back from a mental journey to the past. "I say, who got the reward?" "What reward?" "Why, Daddy!
DeVere asked if he could attend rehearsals next day the doctor said: "Well, it's a risk, but I know how you feel about it. You may try it; but, frankly, I am fearful of the outcome." "I I've got to try," whispered Mr. DeVere. He went to the rehearsal, and the worst fears of the physician were realized. After the first act Mr. DeVere was hoarser than ever before.
"We'll film that burning barn scene to-day," said Mr. Pertell one morning at the breakfast table, when he had ascertained that the atmospheric conditions were right. "That's the one where you two DeVere girls are surprised on your little farm by the visit of some Union soldiers.
