The basketball game which was scheduled for Wednesday afternoon with the Carlton Academy was can THESE PEOPLE ARE SAVING COAL celled by them owing to sickness of several members of their team. picture for next Thursday there is a story of love, labor and riches. Marcella, the faithless wife of Jim Gregory, a Pennsylvania coal miner, elopes with Giovanni, her lover.

She leaves their baby daughter with her husband. The latter leaves the babe on a door step and the child is given a home by Tom and Sarah Wentworth. When the girl approaches womanhood Dr. Grant Hunter falls in love with her. She persuades the doctor to give up vivisection, for she has a great love for dumb animals.

The foster mother of "Dot," as the girl is called, opposes the doctor's suit and she and her husband have become wealthy through the acquisition of a good coal mine and would have a more pretentious son-in-law. Marcella and Giovanni return from Italy, fugitives from the law. There is a strike in the coal mining town where "Dot" lives, and Gregory, her father, is the leader of the workmen. Little dreaming that Wentworth is the man who has cared for his child all these years, Gregory leads a delegation of strikers who go to the Wentworth mansion. He sees Dorothea, but does not know she is his daughter.

He is putting up at a rather questionable tavern, where he learns of a huge treasure buried by "Firebrand," a notorious pirate, and secures plans of the spot in which they are concealed. Ramona sails for Port Royal and Barton is on the same ship. "Firebrand" attacks the ship and capture as part of his booty Ramona, whom he appropriates 'for himself after Barton has been knocked overboard in her defense. Until the acquisition of Ramona, Firebrand's favorite has been Anna, who now becomes intensely jealous of the Spanish beauty: After attempting to make Ramona accept his attentions peacefully, Firebrand has vented his wrath upon her and ordered her confined in one of his cabins.

Barton, recovering from his injuries sufficiently to make his way ashore, stumbles upon the cabin in which Ramona is a prisoner, but the jealous Anna discovers him and inform Firebrand of the supposed duplicity of his new favorite. The pirate chief rushes to the cabin and when he attempts to force his attentions upon Ramona she kills him. Anna denounces Ramona as the culprit and, in a fit of vengeance, sug- through the scientific temperance department of the society, will be used for research work.

The girl loves frivolous things and Bancroft, a divinity student; finally estranges himself from her by his continual efforts to preach to her. Attracted by Hugh Wiley, a gambler from a nearby city, Naomi finally elopes with him and eventually becomes known as the gambling queen after she has set herself up in a magnificent palace.

The girl's one ambition in life is to hoard up her wealth against the day when she shall lose her beauty and her popularity. Bancroft has plunged into religious work with the fervor born of the desire to forget his broken heart. He has become famous as an evangelist and has been trusted with the combination to the vault of the great tabernacle over which he presides. Learning this fact, Wiley adroitly inflames the mind of Naomi against Bancroft on the false ground that he has spurned her because of her life, and has held her up to ridicule and humiliation. He plans to have Naomi lure Bancroft to her gambling palace on a pretense, to overpower the minister while he is there, steal the combination and loot the tabernacle.

Furthermore, Wiley arranges to have the executive board of the tabernacle informed when the minister is in the gambling den and to have the place raided by the police while he and his pal, McCarthy, rob the tabernacle. But the minister is too strong to succumb to the temptations of Naomi when he reaches her apartment and his spiritual power wins the repentance of his temptress. Wiley, realizing that he is losing, springs upon Bancroft from behind and gets the combination away from him while his confederate alarms the police and the executive board accord- and a number of the alumni, both asketball stars and others, were pres ent.
