The next scene is that of the rough seacoast with the water dashing itself against the rocks in a mad fury. The maid is seated on a large rock, listlessly gazing out to sea, when our stranger happens along. He offers his attentions, which she shyly permits. The sailor lad, seeking the maid, comes upon the two unexpectedly, and the sight of the traveler making love to the object of his adoration causes pangs of jealousy to vibrate his frame. He follows them as they pass along the rocks, and when he comes upon them he madly separates them and with a bowie knife endeavors to strike the traveler, but the maid interposes, and receiving the knife-thrust falls to the rocks apparently mortally wounded. Consternation now fills the heart of the traveler, and grief stricken he bears the limp form of the maid to her home. The final scene is the interior of the fisherman's home, th« daughter is convalescent, and at her bedside is seated the sad parent. The traveler calls to learn the condition of the patient, is ushered in, and is shortly followed by the sailor, who now is remorseful for his deed and craves the pardon of the one he wronged.

Entering the park, they walk through the lanes and avenues, the little girl running ahead and skipping the rope. Finding a vacant bench, the maid takes possession and presently doses off. The little girl playfully runs away and accidentally comes upon the scene of a "hold-up," whereupon, unobserved by the footpads, she ties her rope across the passageway through which the robbers must of necessity flee. As anticipated, the robbers, in attempting to escape, trip over the rope and become entangled. In the meantime our young heroine runs out on the public thoroughfare and gives the alarm, to which two officers respond, whom she leads to the spot, where they capture the hold-up men. Our little girl runs farther on and, coming to the brink of the river, observes a blind man who is about to cross an open draw 72
