maddened impulse is to kill mis-
faithless wife, but on his way for
The gun his little child runs to his
arms TO say goodnight. The incl
dent unnerves him. and his wild
determination is destroyed. He de-
cides upon another course. He goes
TO Mrs. Roberts and tells her that
he intends to ruin the captains
home as her husband had ruined
his, and that unless she consents to
elope with him at 10 o'clock that
night he will shoot her husband on
sight. Mrs. Roberts, in grief and
despair, promises 10 elope in order
to save her husbands life. That
evening, when the captain returns,
she accuses him of his sin, and he
makes an earnest and effective plea
for forgiveness. Meantime, the grim
hour for her decision is past, and
with the strength of woman's devo-
ton she determines to sacrifice her
life for her husband rather than
stain his name? Donning his military
cap and cape, she walks out on the
veranda. just as Mr.. Norton has ac-
cepted her absence to signify her
refusal to elope. True to his threat,
wher he sees the figure on the
veranda, he mistakes it for the
captain, and shoots.
The captain realizes the bitter
fruits OF his Gin. but the wound is
not fatal. and the courageous wife's
nobility and bravery inspire an al
