boarding school sit up and wonder.
Sho is a Joy in ' tho hearts of tho
pupils and a thorn in the phllosophlos
of tho teaching staff.
Ono night tho watchman sees a man
ontoring Ann's bedroom wlndoAv. That
Is tho last word In the school princip
al's philosophy. Wow!
So thero 13 an investigation and
Ann says she 1b married to the man
who Is found- hiding In her clothes
box but of course that isn't bo.
Ann, tho tonder-hcarted chicken,
saw that villain trying to rob the
house and thought him handsome.
Bosides, It was an adventure. So sho
hid him. Wonderful Idea.
Burglar discovered. Ann confront
ed. Devious story told by Ann about
being a war bride and wanting to
finish hor education gets ncross.
But tho burglar 1b an amateur. He
Is tho son of wealthy residents who

of tho structure, leaving the captain
battling nlono In n tossing maelstrom
of Icy water. Tho nsslstnnt keeper was
lowered on a ropo from tho door fifty
