On the Isle of Kllcroney, the Wee
Lady Betty rules the tenants of the
O'Reilly castle with a stern hand and
a big heart. Their fear of the Wee
Lady is next to the fear of the ghost
of "Slasher" O'Reilly that is said to

When Sir Daniel O'Reilly dies. Roger

of beauty that is justly ("-edited
Pauline Frederick to assume the ap
pearance of a scrub woman. However,
she is not able at all times to veil her
attractiveness, a fact that serves as
part of the story, as the villain, the
wealthy Harvey Brooks, notices that if
she were dressed properly she would
make a beautiful woman. It prompts
him to an ofTer of support with the
usual formality of a marriage contract.
The woman makes the sacrifice with
the sympathy of the audience always
with her, so that iter boy. the only
member of the family left, may receive
education away from the temptations
of his tenement district en

climax is uproariously tunny and Orms

artist ot considerable merit, and Harry
