her better nature prompts her to go
to his apartments and warn him. While
there Grace comes In Ut is night. She
comes to tell him that she will marry

demand Stedman's resignation and he
goes downstairs to see them, leaving

cuses Grace of following Stedman for
selfish reasons and dares her to call
up her people and tell them that she Is

and Uncle Milbank arrive and are ush-

in another room. Stedman, to end the
