BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1930. BTHE ROSE [o o IN THE DARK Synopsis: Hallie Ellesmore beau- | tiful young nurse, is engaged to Les- | {er Broon, but falls in loy> with his | older half-brother Saxely Grannock, nick-named “Socks” when they| _ meet by chance on a cliff above Long | Island Sound. Grannock cannot see | Zer clearly because of eye trouble, | and refuses to let her tell her| ‘hame, as he is about to undergo an | operation which may cure him or blind him completely. In ‘he latter | event he wanis Hallie to forget | him. He gives her a tiny ivory rose as a love token. Unknown to Gran- | nock. Hallie is hired as his night | nurse to call the doctor hen cer- tain symptoms develop, the night of the treatment. Lester, com- ing in drunk, holds her prisoner in another room until too late, and Grannock goes blind. Hallie, dis- sraced, breaks with Lester, but he 1efuses to give her up. She meet Grannock again, and hearing her voice he recognizes her as the girl he met on the chff. She realizes that to tell him she is also the nurse who caused his blindness would be too great a shock. It is agreed to continue the deception for a time. Lester, scheming to force Hallie to marry him, ex- plains to Grannock he feels he “should marry the night nurse, and zains his half-brother’s consent which is essential hefore he can inherit his share of the Broon for- tune. Grannock, of course, does not realize the girl he loves and the girl Lester wants to marry are the same person.

She dropped er newspaper into the bacon dish nd sat up in her chair. “As you are being all of a sudden, you might answer those few questions I've been ask- ing for the last year. Are there any of mother’s relatives living? If so, wherc? And why didn't she be- queath me to them instead of to you? They couldn’t be less suited to look after a girl just out of school.” Mr. Pearle looked huri. “The resources of my simple “sstablishment are at your.disposal.” he pointed out. “T have endeavored to shelter you, clothe you, feed you. dnadequately?” “I didn’t say 1 didn't get enough fo eat,” she protested sulkily. “And as I never go out anywhere or make any friends or have any fun, T sup- pose my clothes are gpod cnough.
