Here's just a hint at the story:
■Margaret Seldridge secretly married
Oarry HolnicK. a jioor clerk. Because
they fear Margaret's father, a rich,

eacli one that goes to see the picture
will idease pay the small amount which

who see these pictures realize what
they're getting for such a small price,
and then vs'on’t even pay this?
l.’ll tell you how wc can make such
a low price. We get good pictures, and
as we are only a short distance from
the source, the e.xpress charge is small.
Then the machines are furnished .at the
