takes strong liking to her grrf,
stern old grandfather, however, with
the result that he softens under her
influence, her childlike simplicity
and generous, good nature.
She cures herself of a fever into
which she falls, owing to "shadow

converts Eloise to the truth of the
doctrine of love and affection and
warns the hearth of household
which before has been cold and

CAST

"Jewel" is the story of child, a
little golden-haired girl who trans
forms a whole houseful of grabbed
self-seeking, mercenary idlers to her
own simple, childish creed of
affection and love. She reaps a
harvest of good from the bleak and
barren soil, uniting a divided house
hold by chain after chain of brother
ly love.
The Birmingham household consist
ed of Mr.. Birmingham, prema urely
soured old man; Mrs. Forbes, his
scheming hcusekeeper; Evringham's
daughter in law, Mrs. Lawrence Ev.
bingham, and her daughter, Eloise.
Eloise's mother tries in every way
possible to induce the wealthy young
DR.. Ballard to marry her daughter.
Mrs Birmingham tries to rush the
match for old Birmingham has been
bitterly hostile to herself and
daughter ever since they came to
live with him after his sons death.
Jewels coming to the Evringham
home was an accident. Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Birmingham, old Evring-
hams other son and daughter-in-law,
were suddenly called to Europe. Not
icing able, financially, to take Jewel
with them Harry wrote his father
asking him to let Jewel make her
home with him until their return.
Old Birmingham hates children and
reluctantly agrees to take Jewel in.
