orphan heiress. is the ward OF a rich uncle,
who owns n mill in q Vermont town. The
avaricious uncle rohs her OF her fortune

Ciies 10 return il To her. As Il often hap

this good deed and In the act OF discussing
the restoration of the money with his con-

and straps her to an engine belt. The ma
chiEery is put in motion and the girl is
apparently dragged TO her doom, when a
helping hand arrives. Enough comedy is
mixed in with the sensational realism not
