make a girl happy, Elsie Dean is
miserable because of her distrust of
her stepfather, Martin Ross When
she returns from school and finds
ihim surrounded by Objectionable

Prompted by her sweetheart. Elsie
asks Martin Ross for the treasures
and is delighted to receive them
promptly. AT once Elsie and Billy
Gavin have the pearls appraised and.
both are shocked to learn that they
ere Of little value. Elsie is sSres that
sshe has been tricked, and conceives
. plan that shall unmask Martin
Ross and his questionable friends.
Arrayed in the costume of an Or
iental seeress, Elsie awaits the com.
ing of Fanette. who is lured by FL
sie's stories of wonderful fortune
teller. Fanettes visit is followed by
call from Ross. who is alarmed at
what Elsie tells him about the i'm
pending fate of the pearls.
He hurries to see if they are safe
and their hiding place is revealed to
Faaette, who shoots Ross when he
attempts to regain possession of
them. Cunningly she fastens the
guilt on Elsie's sweetheart and then
makes off with the pearls.
Again Elsie has recourse to her
ifrickery and under her skilful prob.
ing Fanette discloses the hiding
place. Detectives seize her and bring
sima, the Hindu. to justice al well.
