"Silk," getting up false courage through liquor, is implored by Hela Marcale, to stop drinking. She recalls that drink was resonsible for a murder he committed in a town in a neighbouring state; but she is only rebuffed by Lowry. Drew goes to the Emporium, the town  rendezvous, and while standing at the bar, sees Lowry approaching with his hand on his gun. As Lowry comes in, Drew suddenly covers him, makes him throw up his hands, and then announces to the patrons that he and Lowry are the best of friends, and the little stunt ended in laughter. Judge Clayton, who was present, and who has been for some time looking for a new sheriff of the town, elects Drew to the position on the spot. This incident only adds insult to injury in the eyes of "Silk" Lowry.

Drew and Marybelle having been married, are interrupted during the quiet evening at home by Judge Clayton's showing them a handbill

calling for the arrest of "Kid Nebraska," wanted for breaking jail after being sentenced for murder. Marybelle instantly recognizes the picture of the fugitive as her brother Dick. While Drew is out on the case, Dick visits his sister, telling her of his innocence and asks that she immediately have Hela Marcale  come to the house to prove his innocence. The judge, seeing Marybelle and her brother embracing each other, and not knowing the relationship, informs Drew of what has occurred, upon his return.

His suspicions aroused, drew leaves the house on a false pretext, and in his absence the ote is despatched to HelaMarcale, only to be intercepted by "Silk" Lowry, who calls at the house and tells Marybelle that he can place the blame for the murder of which her brother is accused, upon a certain woman. Drew returns to witness the scene, and it confirms his earlier suspicions. Hela Marcale, however, has overheard the

conversation between Lowry and Marybelle, and knowing she is the woman referred to, shoots and kills "Silk" Lowry. As Marybelle leaves her house with a drawn revolver. Drew comes round the corner of the house also, with his revolver drawn, and both suspect the other of being the murderer of Lowry. Drew takes the blame for the murder, gives himself up, and is hailed before Judge Clayton for trial.

Hela Marcale attempts a getaway, but while waiting on the couch, the horses are frightened, and a mad runaway is the result. Drew, hearing the disturbance, rushes out, mounts his horse and at the risk of his life, rescues Hela from imminent death. Appreciative of his bravery, she returns to the courtroom with him, and admits she killed "Silk" Lowry, and that he was guilty of the murder in the bordering state for which Marybelle's brother was imprisoned. The trial is

immediately called off, and Marybelle and Drew return to their little cottage to tell the good news to her brother.

ADVERTISING HINTS.

"THE SHERIFF OF HOPE ETERNAL" is the latest feature of the famous series of western photoplays starring JACK HOXIE.

Jack Hoxie is a stage driver sho, because of total lack of fear, is made the sheriff of the little community of Hope Eternal. This picture has an unusual turn in the plot, inasmuch as he takes the blae for a murder which he knows he is absolutely innocent of.
A strong supporting cast makes this the best of his famous series to date.

If you were looking in a mirror and you saw a man approach you with his hand on his gun, would you have the courage to outwit him? Jack Hoxie does.

From stage driver to sheriff and then accused of murder, are the steps taken by Jack Hoxie.

Jack Hoxie is supported by a very strong cast. Among them is the great favourite, MARIS SAID, who, this time, however discards the sombrero and riding costume of the cowgirl, and dons the silk nd satin of the vampire. Miss Said has  role calling for real dramatic acting, and she easily lives up to her past reputation as one of our cleverest screen actresses.
