g to get her to come in--what's that on the door? Oh, yes, DANCE HALL--Flick, flick! Well, say, that must be the inside of the dance hall --they're dancing--see, look, look, there's one of the girls going to get up and dance on the table. Flick! Darn it!--they've cut it off--it's outside again --it's Madeline and the Roo--she's saying something to him--my! doesn't she look proud--? "I WILL DIE RATHER THAN DANCE." Isn't she splendid! Hear the audience applaud! Flick--it's changed--it's Madeline's room again--that's the landlady --doesn't she look hard, eh? What's this--Flick! "IF YOU CANNOT PAY, YOU MUST LEAVE TO-NIGHT." Flick, flick--it's Madeline--she's out in the street--it's snowing--she's sat down on a doorstep--say, see her face, isn't if pathetic? There! They've put her face all by itself on the screen. See her eyes move! Flick, flick! Who's this? Where is it? Oh, yes, I get it--it's John--at a police station--he's questioning them--how grave they look, eh? Flick, flick! "HAVE YOU SEEN A GIRL IN NEW YORK?" I guess that's what he asks them, eh? Flick, flick-- "NO, WE HAVE NOT."

What's he after? Flick, flick-- Hullo--what's this?--it's night--what's this huge dark thing all steel, with great ropes against the sky--it's Brooklyn Bridge--at midnight--there's a woman on it! It's Madeline--see! see! She's going to jump--stop her! Stop her! Flick, flick-- Hullo! she didn't jump after all--there she is again on the doorstep--asleep--how could she jump over Brooklyn Bridge and still be asleep? I don't catch on--or, oh, yes, I do--she _dreamed_ it--I see now, that's a great scheme, eh?--shows her _dream_-- The picture's changed--what's this place--a saloon, I guess--yes, there's the bartender, mixing drinks--men talking at little tables--aren't they a tough-looking lot?--see, that one's got a revolver--why, it's Edward the Roo--talking with two men--he's giving them money--what's this?-- "GIVE US A HUNDRED APIECE AND WE'LL DO IT." It's in the street again--Edward and one of the two toughs --they've got little black masks on--they're sneaking up to Madeline where she sleeps--they've got a big motor drawn up beside them--lo
