In this . episode,\nwhich will be seen at the Ilo Ilo Theatre tonight, the hunted pair take refuge In the tunnel, at the entrance to\nwhich Black Jack and his men build\na fire, and it seems the capture of the\ngirl and the murder of Blnke are certain. But driven back by heat and\nsmoke, they Ilnd the shaft, choked by\ntimbers and falling rocks, and dig\ntheir \"way up and out, in a running\nlight with the outlaws. Remarkable\nphotography makes these scenes thrilling ni the extreme, especially the ascent up the shaft.

He has every opportunity to\nshow his skill In the saddle, with the\nrifle, ln rough wnters or mountain\nclimbing, since the aerial was filmed,\nfor the greater part In the most remote sections of the Sierras of Southern California. Duncan never asks any\nmember of his company to take a risk\nhe will not ns cheerfully take himself,\nand he surrounds himself with men\nthoroughly at home In the great outdoors.\n\"The Highest Bidder,\" a five reel\nFeature Film, starring Alice Joyce,\nwill also lie shown.\nim ii nr \u00E2\u0080\u009E, \u00E2\u0080\u009E r. \u00E2\u0080\u009E \"\"' loi'i'uuoii mi nca lu en or a\n,\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 ? i J: ?\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 ?'

B.C.\nSATURDAY, MAY 3rd. 1919\nLEN IN\n(From the London Daily Times.)\nThe truth of the matter is that Lenin\nis by 110 means an easy man to know.\nFor years he has enveloped himself\nin a veil of mystery\u00E2\u0080\u0094a policy dictated\nas much by personal inclination as\nby political motives, and outside bis\nown small circle ot disciples and admirers there are not (inly very few\nRussians who may be said to know\nlilm intimately, but oven comparatively few who have ever seen him. If.\ntherefore, bo appears to the average\nEnglishman as a red-shlrtod, high-\nbooted pirate chief, the fault Is chiefly\nof his own making. His all-absorbing passion is tho gospel of world-revolution,\nBom at Simbirsk on April 10, 1870,\nVladimir Illtlch I'llanoff, alias \"Le-\nhereilltary noble, and the son of a\nState Councillor. His mother had a\nsmall estate in the Kazan Government,\nand after her husband's death was 111\nreceipt of a State pension. Lenin's\ntwo sister's and Ills brother Dintrl\nwere at one time all under police supervision, while his brother Alexander\nwas executed In 1887 for complicity\nin a terrorist plot against the life of\nAlexander III. Brought up In the\nOrthodlst Faith, Lenin is one of the\nfew genuine Russians to be found\namong the Bolshevist leaders. After\ncompleting his course at the Simbirsk\nGymnasium, in 18S7 lie entered the\nKazan University, only to be expelled\nand banished from Kazan a few\nmonths later for participating In an\nanti-Government students' riot. In\n1801, however, we Nnd him attending\nthe University of Petrograd, where he\nstudied law and economies. In 1895\nhe made his lirst journey abroad to\nGermany, returning in the same year\nto Petrograd, where he wns again\narrested on account of his Socialist\nactivities. Ou this occasion he was\nexiled for three years to the village of\nSushehskoe, in Eastern Siberia, being\nforbidden on the expiration of his sentence to reside in any of the big cities,\nfactory centres, or university towns\nof Russia, After Ills releae in 1000 he\nagain went abroad. From this period\nbegins bis real career as a Socialist\nleader, and the next 17 years are a\nlong cycle of Socialist Congresses\nabroad, culminating in the Ztmmer-\nwald Conferences of 1915 and his\ndramatic return to Russia in the notorious \"scaled\" wagon. During this\nperiod he visited many countries, in-\neluding England, and made the acquaintance of all the revolutionary\nelements iu Europe.\nIs Lenin a genius?? Many Russians\nhave denied it, and certainly there is\nnothing n his personal appearance to\nsuggest even faintly a resemblance to\nthe superman, Short of stature, rather\npulinp, with short, thick neck, broad\nshoulders, round, red face, high, In\ntellectual forehead, bald head, nose\nslightly turned up, brownish moustache, and short stubbly beard, he\nlooks at the first glance more like a\nprovincial grocer than a leader of\nmen. And yet, on second thoughts,\nthere is something in those steely\ngrey eyes that arrests the attention,\nsomething in that quizzing half-contemptuous half-smiling look which\nspeaks of boundless self-confidence\nand conscious superiority. His knowledge of languages ls above the aver-\nag He Is a proficient German scholar,\nwhile he writes and speakB English\nwith tolerable accuracy. He Is certainly by far the greatest intellectual\nforce which the Russian revolution\nhas yet brought to light.\nH is not, however, to his intellectual\nliowcrs that he owes his predominating position inside his own party. The\nalmost fanatical respect with which\nhe Is regarded by the men who are his\ncolleagues, and who are at least as\njealous of euch other as politicians\nin other countries, is due to other\nqualities than mere Intellectual capacity. Chief of these are his iron courage\nhis grim, relentless determination, and\nhis complete lack of all self-interest.\nIn his creed of world-revolution he Is\nas unscrupulous and as uncompromising as a Jesuit, and in his code of\npolitical ethics the end to be attained\nis the justification for the employment\nof any weapon. To him Capital Is the\nFiend Incarnate, and with such an\nenemy he neither gives nor asks for\nmercy.\nYet as an individual he is no twlth-\nout certain virtues. In the many attacks, both justified and unjustified,\nwhich have been made against him,\nno breath of scandal has ever touched\nhis private life. He Is married\u00E2\u0080\u0094according to all accounts singularly\nhappily married\u00E2\u0080\u0094and In- a country\nwhere corruption has now reached Its\napogee, he stands out head and\nshoulders above all his colleagues as\nthe one man above suspicion. To\nLenin the stories of Bolshevist orgies\nand carousals have no relation. His\nown worldly needs are more than\nfrugal, and his personal budget is\nprobably thc most modest of all the\nBolshevist Commissaries. Dishonest,\ntreacherous, guilty of the worst forms\nof secret diplomacy as the Bolshevists\nhave been in all their public dealings\nLenin himself, on the rare occasions\nou which he has consented to see a\nforeign journalist or a foreign official,\nhas always been extraordinarily frank.\n\"Personally, 1 have nothing against\nyou. Politicaly, however, you are my\nenemy, and I must use every weapon\nI think fit for destruction. Your Government does the same against me.\"\nOf course he is a demagogue; has\nmade use of all the demagogue's arts.\nBut behind all the inconsistencies of\nof his policy, the tactics, the manoeuvring, there lies a deep-rooted plan\nwhich he has been turning over In bis\nmind for years and which he now\nthinks is ripe for execution. Demagogues have no constructive programme. Lenin, at least, knows exactly what ho wishes to acbleve and\n'Save the surface and\nyou save all ^^^\nftf%*|\nYOU PAY\nTF you buy on inferior paint you pay twice, once\nX when you buy the paint, and again when you are\nobliged either to repaint or I j Buffer the loss of deterioration in your house.\nIf your paint blisters, scales off, cracka or checki.\nyou nay twice.\nIf your varnish or floor finisli turns white, \"blooms,\"\nIs brittle, if it shows heel marka and scratches white,\nyou /-av twice.\nIf your paint turns dark an'd muddy, you pay twice.\nIf your shingle stain does not have a creosote base,\nnnd the shingles consequently soon warp and\nthe roof leaks, yon pay twice.\nA\n>.\nA\nTWICE!\n.
