THIS HAS HAPPENED

HELEN PAGE fels unhappy when her
classmates accuse her of being in love
with her handsome guardian. LEONARD
BRENT But he represents all that she
knows of home and family and he has
promised to clear up the mystery OF her
birth after she graduates.
However. a chance meeting with a
dying beggar causes Brent to change all
his plans regarding Helen's future. Be
fore the man dies he tells Brent that his
name is CHARLES OWENS NELLIN;
that his wife is dead and that he has
hidden 2 daughter from wealthy
grandfather. CYRIL K. CUNNINGHAM
of Yonkers. Posing as newspaper
man searching for story material, Brent
secures facts and evidence which aid his
plans.
When Helen is graduated she reminds
her guardian that he has promised to
tell her about her parents, and is
amazed when he tells her that she is
the heresS of Cyril K. Cunningham. He
shows her a locket which he had Sc
cured from the dying Nellin and tells
her the picture is Of her mother, EVAN
GELINE CUNNINGHAM NELLIN. In
accordance with a promise made to her
parents. he tells her that he must now
take her to her grandfather. Obtaining
an interview with Cunningham, Brent
introduces Helen as his granddaughter
and tells him her story.

with the progress he had made. He
was convinced that Mr. Cunningham
would not turn Helen away, once he
accepted the belief that she was
indeed his granddaughter.
And the readiest way to make him
believe was to rob the situation of
all appearance of an attempt to take
advantage of it, Brent had reasoned.
Helen would be but a pawn. But
now she was speaking for herself.
