Synopsis: Suspecting that Elsa| Chrase, beautiful crippled girl who is | a guest at his Washington home, is not all ghe seems, Arnold Winslow, wealthy retired lawyer, seeks to find ast by which he can prevent her harriage to his| adopted son, Jack. With this in| view he enlists the services of G. Thorne, detective. Winslow brings Dr. Paul Kane to cxamine Elsa, who consents reluctantly. Later thal night Kane is found dead under his bedroom window. An autopsy prove he died of poison, not the fall. The news strangely upsets both Elsa and Arnold Winslow. Ja in a moment of rage, chokes his father when he refuses Jack's request for $1 and makes disparaging about Elsa. Mrs. Winslow announces her husband is ill from “another heart attack.” Lucy, the maid, out late to mail a let °d to see the shadow of a h igure, madly dancing, silhoue on a curtain of a ground-floor window.
