been saved from insult and arrest by q
young man Of wealth. meets the gentle
man again. while he Is being shown
over tho workroom. He falls In love
With her and she with him. She takes

mothers absence. they swear to ever
lastang love. Finding after the young
mans departure that he has given her
mother money. she turns into . fury.
declaring that she will not be bought.
