She feels that nobody appre¬ ciates her baby, so she decides to brave her fears and pay a visit to her father, hoping that the baby may soften his iron will. Cautiously entering the giu'den, she finds her father the picture of despair, seated on a bench in the arbor. Approaching him noiselessly she places her baby on its grandpop's knees. It was as the young wife hoped, and we leave the scene with the child and the grandchild folded in the old man’s arms. “A RICH REVENGE." — A Comedy of the California Oil Fields. — Vengeance is ethical, as it is directed by fate, and is invariably just in resultance; but revenge is generally the designing of a fevered brain, and is nearly always resilient, inflicting chagrin, if not dis¬ aster, upon the perpetrator. While the instance in this Biograph comedy meted not disaster, still it produced chagrin a-plenty. Harry and Bill, tw’O young ranch-owners, are deeply smitten with the charms of pretty little Jennie, the belle of the neighborhood. Jennie is as lively as a cricket, never serious a moment hence the solemn tones in which Bill declares his love frightens her; but Harry, jolly and light-hearted, seeming to consider life a huge joke, appeals to her, and she accepts his proposal. They are married and start on their new life’s journey more like a couple of kids “playing house” than serious, sober married folks. Bill, of course, is enraged as being thrown down, and swears to be revenged. Hence, he bides his time. First off, he induces the villagers and store-keepers to boycott Harry by refusing to buy the products of his farm. Harry’s farm, like many others in California, is irrigated by means of a flume, the gate of which opened, sends water through ditches to all parts of his ranch. Into this flume Bill pours several barrels of chemically treated oil, which ruins the productive quality of the land so saturaed. While they are thus bemoaning their helplessness, an oil speculator is seen to drive along the road. He sud¬ denly pulls his horse up, for a delightful odor has titillated his olfactory nerve. Leaping out of his car¬ riage he makes for the field. Jabbing his proboscis into the center of one of the rows, he sniffs. “Oil, by gosh! and the poor fools don’t know it. Here’s a find." Rushing up to the house, where he finds Harry and Jennie still sitting on the veranda in deep de¬ spair, he offers them $10,0€0 for their land. They are so flbabergasted that they cannot but nod their heads. The speculator promises to call back in an hour with the money. An hour has elapsed and no speculator; then they feel that it has been but a dream. How¬ ever, after consulting several clocks they find that they indicate time so divergently that there may still be hope, and this thought is prophetic, for in a few minutes the man arrives with the wad of “long green.” Ten thousand dollars! What’ll we do with it?” It doesn’t take long to decide, for in a short while they have togged up and procuring an automo¬ bile, they start for the East. As they bowl along the road they see the speculator with his laborers just about to start digging when Bill comes up, and proves he has been done, for instead of an oil field he has a “lemon patch." Harry and Jennie by this time are out of reach. Bill’s move was Indeed a Rich Revenge slightly twisted. EJIISON MFG. CO. “THE HEART OF A ROSE.’’— This film deals with a beautiful heart story in all its sweetness and hu¬ man sympathy. It is true that “All the world loves a lover," and there is no more appealing interest than in watching the beautiful flower of love unfold its leaves under the sunshine of a loved one’s smiles, nor more terrific pathos than the struggle of two beings who love when they realize that they should not love: and here we have the very centre of our story, “The Heart of a Rose.” An old professor of chemistry, a widower, who has cared for his young ward, Alice, since childhood and has watched her blossom into beautiful womanhood until his old heart beats quicker at her glance, finally as time passes on, finds himself in love with his young ward. He has won her respect and affection, and out of duty to him she accepts his offer of mar¬ riage, fully believing at the time that he will make her happy and with no thought that anything will ever arise to make her regret her course. It is at this period that our story actually opens. In the pro¬ fessor’s rose garden, among his books and flowers, his promised bride interrupts him in his studies and he dissects for her a rose. A letter is received from his son, congratulating him upon his coming marriage and informing him that he will return home before the wedding takes place. The professor expresses great joy and pride in his son’s return, while Alice exhibits only mild pleasure. She hardly remembers him, as it has been years since she last saw him. During the next scene in the professor’s laboratory a chemical explosion occurs in which the professcj loses his sight. The son hastens home at the news ( his father’s affliction. It is then that Alice and tl) son meet again. This meeting makes a great changl in each of their lives, and when next we see them, j few weeks later, they have fallen deply in love wit each other; but they try to hide their feelings till i the rose garden, over the old sun-dial, the truth ' < revealed in a look — a touch of the hand. When tl old professor finds them together the first lie of gul is told. Then follows a series of terrifically stror dramatic scenes, in which the son and father’s wan their hearts aflame with love, try to crush out tl fire that they may not mar the life of one whom the both love and respect. One day the professor suddenly regains his sigb
