The startling revelation found between
the leaves of an old family Bible dis
closes to an escaped convict and tramp
the identity of his daughter, a most
beautiful and accomplished young lady,
who has been adopted and reared by
Southern colonel of distinction and
fortune. The surprise of the convict
is SO great that his better feelings over
come him and then and there he resolves
that in the future, for his daughters
sake, to become better man, and an
honor to his child. The secret of her
birth is told and revealed, however, by
Colonel Gould himself when the hand
of his supposed daughter is proposed
for and accepted by young Southern
gentleman. His rival, however hears
