OF last nights are still lost in the re-
cessas of the theater), there Is a ripping
story of plots and counter plots, with the
old home. the wronged girl and the dress

The main thread OF the story concerns
the fortunes of Brent Breckenridge, a
young Virginian, who sells his estate TO
New York capitalist. Frederick Fergu-
son (all the characters have Alternative
names). Ferguson knows that the prop
erty had valuable coal deposits. and he
interested some friends IN the matter

brings these New Workers 20 Virginia
for house party, and there Breckenridge
meets Aline Anderson. An attachment

where he forms a company OF his own
and almost forces Ferguson to the wall,
but meantime, through various eomplica-
tons, he loses Aline. But the conclusion
is obvious so why continue.

ventional characters. Mr. Gibson has put

tically impossible for a small land

Almost in the centre of the state

and drove the troopers away. Two

slaughter began. Four hundred
