filling financial obligation of q
friend who had been killed, and when
he fell in love and made an attempt
to have this obligation lessened so
that he might marry the lady of his
choice, he found that the object of
his financial contributions and the OBJ
ject of his affections were one and the
same charming young woman
And when the girl discovered who
had been supporting her she almost
forgot that she loved him and that he
loved her. In fact. she so far forgot
that it took spectacular automobile
accident and corps of hospital doc

a lot of false conclusions to jog her
memory and carry her back to fappi-

.BOSWORTH PLAY
STORY OF THE
MAINE COAST

below the Surface which will be
seen at the Augusta Opera house to-
day for the last times with Hobart
Bosworth in the principal role, is a
story of Maine people and little
Maine coast town. Bosworth inter-
prets the character of stern old New
England deep sea diver. His partner
is his son Luther. The two are ap-
preached with a fraudulent enter
prise to extract treasure from a
esunken wreck. The old diver de-
clines, but Luther, attracted by the
pretty demi-mondaine who accom-
panies the get-rich-quick promoter,
accepts the proposition, marrying the
girl at the same time.
Dramatic events follow, including
the wrecking of a steamer, in which
Luther's wife and the promoter are
drowned. The ending is a happy one.

House bill are 1.-The Boss of the Cop
perhead", a two-reel western and
