- Owen Storrow, a young
sculptor, comes to New
York from Canada TO try
to perfect himself in his
art and to secure the ad-
vantages of study and In
struction. From his room
In a cheap hotel he sees on
a fire-escape a charming
girl, barefooted, drying her
hair, watching a man fight
ing with his wife. The girl
cries out indignant protest,
and the man looks up and
calls her a name that rouses
the fury of Stonow. He
scurries down and does bat
tie with the man, finally
overcomes him, and, bruised
and, bleeding, makes his
way back, is stopped by
the girl, who gives him
water.

sentative lumber manufacture to sup
ply the lumber needs OF the nation.
