The deathbed confession Of one Of
the machines" satellites is in the
possession of Governor Wheeler, the
only anti-machine man holding high
office in the state. This confession
constitutes a menace to Blake and his
associates, and, late one stormy
night, the attorney general instructs
Mccullough Davenport, a catspaw for
the men higher up" to break into
the governors private office and rifle
his desk In order to secure the con-
fession.
Seeing that Davenport carries an au-
tomato, Blake cautions him against
using the gun, telling him that there
will be no need for it. Entering the
governors office through a window,
Davenport discovers Governor Wheel

in the Pacific ocean, on the Pacific
shore and on desert island to which
Peggy is taken by a smuggler, who
hopes to get a reward for her. The
smuggler is drowned and Peggy is left
alone on the island for three days.
Her plight is noticed by those on d
ralatial yacht, and she is rescued to
find that her rescuer was a cabin boy
on the ship on which her father had
been killed many years before by a
mutinous crew and she herself given
in charge of this very cabin boy. The
boy, now grown up and wealthy, is
trying to carry out the fathers wishes,
because there is big fortune coming
to Peggy.
The up-shot Of it all is that Peggy
falls in love with the former cabin
boy, and, naturally they decide to wed.
