the detective, who has sirern to
'"get" him and put him back behind
prison bars. Comes the moment

leave his sweetheart's little sister,
who has locked herself behind the
ponderous door, to perish? flow

Jimmy Valentine" with suspense
that is electric and a climax that

that calls for his greatest-jfowers of

Story of "White Lies"
Josephine (GLADYS BROCK
WELL) and Rose, daughters of the
Baroness De Beaurepaire, find they
nave been reduced to poverty. Their
home is to be sold, but they keep
the fact from their aged mother.
Camille Du Jordin loves Josephine,
but is regarded with disfavor by the
Baroness because he is not of noble
birth. Before leaving for the front
to fight in the world war, Camille
leaves the silken cord for his sword
with Josephine, promising to "live
and return worthy of Beaurepaire. :
Surgeon Edouard Riviere, of the
base hospital near the Baurepaire
chateau, is in love with Rose. He
has offered to assist the family, but
Rose's pride would not permit her
to accept aid.
Grieved because she has waited
weeks in vain for some word from
Camille, Josephine confides to her
sister doubts of her lover's loyalty.
Tke family solicitor, who has ar
ranged to sell the chateau, brings a
prospective purchaser in Col. Raynal.
While viewing the chateau Raynal
hears Josephine praying that the
place may be spared to the mother.
Deeply moved, he tells Josephine
that a soldier of France never could
trample on a woman. Rose's pride
again interferes with' an offe»' by
Col. Raynal of the freedom of the
chateau. After conferring with
Riviere, Coi- Eiaynal oft'ars himself
in matriage to Josephine, thus mak
ing it possible for her to keep too
chateau; at the same time telling her
he will leave for the Dardenelles
campaign immediate!}'
After reading in the paper that
Camille has been branded as a
deserter and traitor, Josephine,
horrified, tears up his photograph
and casts kside the silkan cord
fhe marriage takes place just as
Camille arrives at Baurepaire,
having been vindicated, reinstated,
promoted, given the criox de guerre
and granted leave, for bravery
while doing perilous secret work
behind the enemy's lines.
When Camille meets Rose in the
chateau garden she scorns him as a
traitor. He shows her the croix
guerre, then falls in a faint from
weakness.
Word is brought that the ship
carrying Col, Haynal to the Dar
danelles has been torpedoed and the
Colonel lost. Meanwhile Camille
has been slowly recovering the
chateau, and Josephine has learned
the truth. Before Camille again
leaves for the front he and Josephine
are secretly married—oniy Rose
and Jacintha, the serving maid,
sharing the secret.
A year passes and Col. Ravnai,
not dead as reported, returns. In
a cottage village Josephine secretly
nurses her infant son—the child of
Camil-le. One night Jacintha carries
the baby to his mother, who with
Rose is hidden in the tapestry
riom of the chateau.
rciviere returns from the front
that night, ami Raynal goes to the
the tapestry
roofcKjfiey see Josephine aud Rose
the baby. Raynal demands to
KnoV whose child it is. Rose to
save\her sister, declares it is hers
The Statement overwhelms Riviere.
Raynal eventually learns the truth
from (Tamiile. Realizing the impos-.
sibilitjy of holding Josephine to her
marriage vows, Raynal arranges a
separation. Camille is commissioned
to fire a mine—a commission which
means sure death. Raynal, as
superior officer, orders Camille
home to Josephine, announcing that
he himself will fire the mine.
Riviere makes his peace with
Rose, while the clsoe of hostilities
finds Josephine, Camille and their
little boy reunited and happy.
A Bit OVerse
What matter the wav it's told 'o you,
If a He be white or r.lack?
It may bringsorrow and anguish, too,
Or put a soul on the rack.
A lie ifsaiie —no matter how ''white'
Camouflaged truth dosn't pay.
Be honest, be strong in the will -to
do right:
To happiness this is the way.
