To tell the truth, there was so much going on, on this day, that the girls could scarcely have found time to quarrel. The sun was bright and the sky cloudless. It was an ideal day for out-of-door "shots," and the camera men and Mr. Hooley had the whole company astir betimes.
"Who's that?" demanded the director. "The man who had Wonota in his show?" "Yes, Mr. Hooley. He was here last night. I spoke with him up in the bunk-house while you were telling the boys about this scene," Ruth said gravely. "The unhung villain!" exclaimed the director. "He tried to ruin our shot." Jennie stared at him with open mouth as well as eyes. "Well!" she gasped after a minute.
"If I only had him out on the Osage Reservation, I would know what to do to with him." But she did not explain what treatment she would accord Dokota Joe if she were at home. It was only seven o'clock when Jim Hooley called on the telephone and told Ruth that, following instructions from Mr.
When Mr. Hooley, megaphone in hand and stationed with the two cameras on one of the decked-over barges, had got his company in position and the action was begun, it was indeed an impressive picture. Of course, a scene is not made off-hand not even an outdoor pageant like this. The detail must be done over and over again before the cranks of the cameras are turned. It was almost noon before Mr.
Hooley, the director, and the company selected for the making of Ruth's new picture to the Thousand Islands. Meanwhile Ruth herself had many preparations to make and she could not be all the time with her visitor. As in that past time when she had visited the Red Mill, Wonota was usually content to sit with Aunt Alvirah and make beadwork while the old woman knitted.
However much the scene, arranged by Jim Hooley might need the attention of the moving picture makers, here was a greater and more dangerous happening, in which Ruth Fielding was the leading participant! Tragedy was very dose indeed at that moment to the girl of the Red Mill. Many adventures had touched Ruth nearly; but nothing more perilous had threatened her than this.
Hooley in the projection room to see a "run" of the strip taken at the island where the Frenchmen landed. "Do you know that that island is the one we landed on ourselves the other evening, Ruth?" Helen remarked, as they took their seats and waited in the darkness for the operator to project the new film. "Do you mean it? I did not notice. The island where I met that strange old man?"
Hooley had gone so far now that the bulk of the scenes had been filmed; and as they had been run off in the little projection room, both Mr. Hammond and Ruth had expressed their approval of almost every finished length of celluloid.
The dash of the frightened animals added considerable to the realism of the picture, as they swept past Jim Hooley and his camera men; but the director was quite aware that disaster threatened William's outfit. "Crank it up! Crank it!" he commanded the camera men. "It looks as if we were going to get something bigger than we expected." Mr. Hammond stood behind him.
The upshot was that, after some discussion by the three girls, Ruth set off alone for her station under the brow of the steep river bank. About ten o'clock, in mid-forenoon, Hooley was satisfied that everything was ready to shoot the picture.
