not believe that assertion. and up 10 this
time does not believe it.
While in the East Thompson placed
Miss Greer on the stage, but soon firing of
her, deserted her among strangers in a
strange city. This came to the knowledge
of Greer, who at once hastened East, found
his daughter, forgave her and took her
home again, but at the same time he
vowed that he would settle with Thomp-

him.
Since that time Greer has met with re-

has not gone well with him. but he uursed
his WRATH against the MAE who destroyed
the happiness of his daughter.
Tonight, for the first time since the
elopement, Greer caught sight of Thomp-
