Accordingly, when the tempter, in the form of a "former suitor Ted Alden, presses his attentions upon her with all th 0 accompanying luxury and enjoyment he can offer, she flings discretion to ths winda, more from a desire to arouse- her husband's jealousy than to seriously estrange him. btricken with remose over his hasty anger Bob returns home to find one of the children in the act of taking poison al'i C°"gh mixture- Rushing down to Alden g flat, he surprises his wife in his enemy's arms. Carol's efforts at explanation are in vain, and she is driven away from home and from the children, .out mother-love brings her back, and she is attempting to kidnap the children when Bob, hearing a noise- in the room, shoots nt the supposed burglar. !
