ed Alice to the young farmer. "I suppose you're
glad to see the last of us!"

"Well, not exactly, no'm! Still, I'll be glad not to see houses and
barns that have only fronts to 'em, and there won't be no more mistakes
made trying to haul up water from a well that's only made of painted
muslin. I'll try an' get back to real life for a change!"

The big war play was over. It was a big success when shown on the
screen, and the pictures of Ruth, Alice and Mildred--or Estelle Brown,
as she was billed--came out well. The fight where Paul and his men were
nearly blown up was most realistic.

"You girls are not going to retire, just because you have a little
money, are you?" asked Russ of Ruth, one day, when they were back in New
York.

"Indeed, we're not!" cried Alice. "And I wouldn't be surprised if
Mildred joined us. I had a letter from her the other day, and, after
seeing herself on the screen, she says she is crazy to do it all over
again. Give up the movies? Never!"

And it remains for time to show what further fame the Moving Picture
Girls won in the silent drama. For the present, we will say farewell.
