Prominent Part
In Doro Drama

Three energetic young news

the story of their lives had 1t not
been for the stubbOrnness of
Nora Flynn, who preferred to let
shadow remain on her own life

inkling of the situation from
Nolan, Nora's hotheaded lover,
but the Irish nursemaid foiled
them when the biggest story OF
the year was almost within grasp.
This is the climax scene from

dream lotion that they. wanted,
but were unable to find out how
they obtained 1t. A careful
watch of the inside office failed
to throw any light on the traffic.
Late yesterday afternoon q
trap was laid, the nature OF which
the jailors refuse to divulgs. 1t

His outfit consisted of several
