who in turn was able to complete his work by

whom he had adopted. At the time of the

is occupying the position of superintendent of
the Knowlton iron works and Is ignorant of the
assistance his early work had been toward max
ing Kno wilton a millionaire. The young man,
Reuben Warner by name, becomes acquainted
with the truth through diary which comes

fish. Warner loves Knowlton's daughter Mar
garet, but her parents, desiring to gain name
and social position, promise their daughter in
marriage to Standish. The girl consents to this
arrangement, not from any feeling of love, but
from sense of duty to her father and mother.
Standish as the prospective bridegroom is given

In the strike which follows Warner
stands by the mon, from a keen sense
of justice. although he has by this time apprised
Knowlton of his knowledge of the patents.

reached by appealing through his daughter,

of exposure iniuring her social position, brings
him to accede 10 Warmers request in behalf of
the workmen. Margaret, who has seen Stand

all that the men asked for he determines to
leave the works and town forever, and Mar
garet, with womanly deicacy, Acknowledges
the injustice she has done him and coufesses
her love. This play exhibits more efficiently
