This story of the wooing and winning of the brilliant and beautiful Bessy Patterson of Bal- timore by Captain Jerome Bona- parts, brother of the French em- peror, is a real heart throbbing

But this madcap venturer hurts his thundering de fence at his powerful brother and brings his wooing to a climax in whirlwind fashion.
