SYNOPSIS. Lambert Colfax married Stella, a burlesque actress, and then deserted her and their dawhter Missie. When attempts at reconciliation fail Stella kills hcrul/ Colfax’s mother, an old aristocrat, who mever recognized Stella as her son’s wife, urges Missie to come to her. The girl objects, but agrees to go, after the marriage of her step- sister, Ellen. Life in the stuffly old Col- fazx home is unbearably dull, and Missie is most unhappy. When Ellen learns that the Colfazs will not admit her to their home on terms of social equality she berates Missie. NlN’l‘fl INSTALLMENT.

With it & man can carry in his coat pocket the equivalent of a standard light house, 200 feet high, with a light of 50,000 candlepower, with which to signal for help or guide rescue vessels, The device resembles a big .45-caliber pistol, although its barrel is a little fatter. It fires like a pistol and projects “Eo ward 200 feet or more a projectile ut the size of a big cannon cracker. This bursts and releases a 50,000 can- dleup':wu flare, suspended from a para- Can Send Code. The suspended light burns 30 seconds, and the pfiml is designed to be reloaded with one hand, so that any desired succession of lights, or even a code of signals, can be sent aloft. Waves washing over the lifeboat or water lwnlnpm’ it have no_effect on the reliability the pistol.
