—THE MOVING PICTURE WEEKLY
Ella Hall in " The Charmer"
Her heart frozen in a cake of ice. The explanation of the Fairy Prince.
(Copyright 1917, Bluebird Photoplays, Inc.)
HEN an enemy torpedo sunk a great trans-Atlantic liner, Ambrosia Lee was left an orphan. The only lifeboat that was ever heard from after the catastrophe came ashore, with Ambrosia and her two charges — Caesar, a black little imp, and a pet monkey. When Ambrosia and Caesar were rescued the monkey chattered his approval.
The refugees were taken to the general store in Penntucket, where the great and near great of the male population were wont to foregather for the purpose of assembling around the stove and adjusting the fate of the nation. Judge Appleby, supreme in finally settling all disputes, ruled that little Ambrosia should be contributed to the war bazaar that~was then being held in the basement of the parish church.

Don Whitney was her Prince Charming, and he had been sent to Penntucket because his father and mother were not getting along first-class in their matrimonial arrangements.
Mr. Whitney sent Don to his own boyhood home in Penntucket, and when Mrs. Whitney started her divorce she took the lad elsewhere, leaving Ambrosia forlorn. Ambrosia, having heard of the domestic storm in the Whitney family, had written a letter to Mr. Whitney, telling him the fairies would, through love, adjust matters and all would be well.
Mrs. Whitney's lawyer had arranged for a hired co-respondent to give the testimony that should free her from her husband, but when it came to trial the said co-respondent failed to appear. When Ambrosia heard that the trial could not proceed for want of a co-respondent, she remembered the letter she had written Mr. Whitney. Adjudging herself eligible as a "correspondent," Ambrosia took the witness
