CARJORIE WHITNEY is a very pretty and very very independent daughter and only child of a multi-millionaire. Her father is not long on discipline and the consequence is that his pretty little gir is headstrong and boss of the palace in which the lives. It has been the lifelong desire, however, of her father, that she should become the wife of Elmer Poindexter, who is the nephew of the multi-millionaire's former business partner and lifelong friend. Marjorie does not see it this way, however, and with the connivance * of a housemaid, she runs away.

Like all girls who run away from home, she goes to New York and with the faw dollars she has in her purse, hires lodging in a certain side. street. Detectives, employed by her father trace and locate her in the lodging house Old man Poindexter suggests that she be left to her own devices and for the nephew to keep an eye on her, and if they are thrown together, may fall in love with each other in the natural course of events:

This delightful arrangement miscarries, however, by the prowess of the hero, Powers, who rescues Marjorie from the attack of a discharged convict who returns to the lodging house, once his home, to recover stolen bonds he had hidden there.

How the young couple overcame parental objection, and visited equal justies upon the righteous and unrighteous, provides an enter- tailing story with a surprising denouement
