He meets his ancient flame, who threatens to hand him over to the police, and during the excitement liecomes a maniac. On her deathbed I she is forgiven by the man and the wife. A Kalem drama entitled "The Battle in tho Virginian Hills" will bo j an interesting subject, being the .story of ji bitter'feud and its results. "Tracked -to the Sandia Mountains" is a. Frontier release giving a realistic idea of Western life. An interesting domestic study will be given in tho Rex Company's "In tho- Blood," j while the Selig production of "Tho Scales of Justice" will alsd form an interesting feature. Honest John Kennedy is presented with a medal for efficiency and bravery by the (ward of police commissioners. He becomes engaged to Polly McGuire, and by so doing incurs the revengeful enmity of "Slippery" Jim Quinn, the political boss of the ward in which Polly lives. Quinn, who has eyes for Polly, much to that young lady's displeasure, threatens to undo Kennedy before another week has passed. He plans n, "frame-up" on Kennedy, and with the aid of a marked fifty dollar bill and a well-known crook, manages I to place Kennedy in such an embarassing position that the policeman, although innocent, is discharged from the force for accepting a bribe. Now Polly turns against him, believing him to bo dishonest. Through a strange change of circumstances, Kennedy rescues tho wife and child of the crook who implicated him and caused, liis discharge. Moved by the occasion, the crook gives Kennedy evidence necessary to convict Quinn, the man higher up, and Kennedy re-. instates himself in his old position on tho force, after which' Polly again returns her love and hand.
