Cleverly contriving to obtain a position with the brokers, the heiress speedily discovers that the two, in spite of their crookedness, manage to keep within the law. Marguerite also learns that Ferris keeps the documents. Shortly afterwards. Marguerite is requested to call at Ferris's home for the purpose of clearing up some important work. While in the house, the girl comes upon documents which show her employers in their true light. Ferris, however, catches Marguerite in the act of taking these papers. Seizing the heiress, he attempts to throttle her. Marguerite's cries are heard by Enright and his chauffeur, who are waiting outside the house. Rushing to the girl's rescue, they overpower Ferris. Fearing lest the heiress send him to prison, the broker turns over to her the sum he had stolen from Helen. At this moment, Fenton enters. Taking in the situation, he holds the intruders up at pistol's point. Marguerite, however, plunges the room into darkness. Fenton shoots and then leaps through the window in his effort to escape. Police attracted by the shot catch the man before he goes ten yards. When Marguerite floods the room with light, it is found that Ferris had been wounded by his partner's shot. The men are shackled together and led away under arrest. Written by
