wondered whose 1t might be.
A laundering noise on the door star

on a crack to tell the expressman he
was in the wrong place.

gruf voice of the man. and he thrust
open the door and deposited his burden
in the only available spot in the room.
Then without further words he was
gone.
Violet closed the door and stood star
ing ut the trunk. 1t was new and
strong and large. And on 1t In unmis-
taxable letters was painted her own
name. Violet Sargent, with the address.
The trunk was securely strapped and
locked. Furthermore. 1t took up the
only floor space she had In the room.
But she was helpless. She could not
unlock it. for she had no key.
A moment after she had climbed
over It to resume her dinner there came
another knock upon the door.
"Yes~ she called. hoping she might
not have to scale the trunk again.
"Miss Sargent!' called boy.
Violet opened the door to receive a
note addressed to her She signed for

addressed In typewritlng and was
bulky. There was no clew to the
sender on the envelope.
She tore open the message and be-
held trunk key folded within type

key to your valentine"
The inside Of the trunk was spacious
and composed Of many trays and sec

said to be a distinctly new note struck
in this latest Of the EQuitable's re-
leases. It reveals, among other things.
the high quality of the artistic achieve
ments of Muriel Ostriche, the dainty
star OF the production, a peculiarly
fitting series of settings for the out
door scenes Of a remarkably interest
ing story, and in the plot itself a log
iCal development Of an idea which
lends itself admirably TO revelation on
the screen. The scenes at the fishing
village, the blowing up of the yacht,
and the assumption by the heroine of
the responsibility for a murder to save
the sister Of the boy she loves, are only
few Of the striking features of this
wonderful production. The charming
personality of the star, in addition to
the dramatic ability she displays,
lends itself admirably to the plot OF
the piece as we'll as TO the picturiza-

supported by some Of the Equitable's
most valued character artists.
