Sunday Synopsis

Sunday is a young girl left by a dying father in charge of four rough, but noble-hearted, lumbermen, known as Jack, Towzer, Davy and Lively, who bring her up as a boy. Jacky, the youngest of the quartet, is in love with Sunday, but she regards him only as a brother. The four men finally decide to send her to a convent school. Arthur Brinthorpe, the black sheep of an old English family, traveling in America, meets Sunday, and persuades her to elope. She believes that he intends to take her to his home in England as his wife. Arthur is compelled to confess that he does not intend to marry her. Stunned by this perfidy, Sunday denounces him furiously, and when Arthur seizes her in his arms, she draws her revolver, which he takes from her. The struggle is witnessed by Jacky, who comes to Sunday's rescue, and in doing so kills Arthur. A half-witted girl, named Lizette, who is hopelessly in love with Jacky, sees it. Jacky departs with the Sisters. New adventures, however, are in store for Sunday. Her aunt in England, Mrs. Naresby, has been searching for her, and she is finally discovered in the convent school and brought to England. She meets and falls in love with Henry Brinthorpe, an elder brother of the "ne'er-do-well Arthur." Sunday tries to resist his love, feeling that the dead man stands between them. He demands to know why she will not marry him. She is unable to tell him. Unhappy and wretched, she leaves her aunt's house by night and takes steerage passage tor America. She finally arrives at the lumber camp and surprises the "boys" by rushing into the cabin and telling them she has come home to stay. Henry and his friend, Tom Oxley, follow Sunday to America, and arrive at the cabin. Henry is determined to learn why Sunday has run away from him. Meantime, Lizette, believing that Sunday has returned to marry Jacky, accuses her of the murder of Arthur Brinthorpe, and when Jacky confesses that he committed the deed, Lizette attempts Sunday's life by throwing a knife through the door. Lively, suspecting Lizette's intentions, throws himself in front of Sunday and is wounded. Sunday tells the entire story to Henry, who realizes his brother's guilt and Sunday's innocence, and the story ends with the reconciliation of the lovers.

Runaway Romany Synopsis

"Inky" Ames, theatrical press agent, through a fictitious story makes it appear that Anitra St. Clair, an actress, is the long lost daughter of Theodore True, the copper king. True accepts the actress as his daughter, and they, in answer to a telegram from Bud Haskel, representative in the west, decide to go westward immediately to inspect a newly-discovered copper mine. Bud Haskel is, incidentally, volunteer "school master" to the flower of a gypsy camp, Romany. The girl is loved by Zinga, son of the gypsy chief. Upon her father's threat to wed her to Zinga, Romany seeks the help of Bud, who aids her to escape. Zinga suspects Bud of conniving at Romany's escape and follows him constantly. Irking under the restraints of her new life, Anitra decides to give her former gayeties a whirl and finds in True's nephew Hobart, a willing assistant. She incurs the enmity of "Inky," who resolves to put True wise to the fact that the actress is not really his daughter. Romany, with the broader knowledge of life imparted to her by books, turns to her new world with keen expectancy, and is glad to receive Bud again at her first party. That same evening Romany discovers Hobart at his uncle's safe, but does not discover the fact that Hobart has extracted money from the strong box. Determined to make True see that he is being imposed upon by Anitra, "Inky" seeks out Bud Haskel, telling Bud that the actress is not True's daughter, and that he ("Inky") has cooked up a press stunt to advertise the show she was in. Zinga's persistent shadowing of Bud to uncover Romany's whereabouts succeeds at last. One development is that Romany writes a letter to True stating that she has been grateful to True and Haskel for their kindness, but that she must leave the True home; that she is broken hearted. Romany is then suspected of taking the money from True's safe, but after Anitra's deception is exposed to True, Hobart confesses to his uncle that he (Hobart) is the guilty one. Bud discovers Romany's whereabouts and persuades her to return to True's mansion. Bud also secures Zinga's release from prison, where he has been confined upon Zinga's assurance that he has a revelation to make to Mr. True. The gypsy tells True that Romany is really True's daughter; that when the girl grew up Zinga wanted her for himself. That the gypsies named her Romany. True is happy in the recovery of his daughter, and Bud and Romany plight their troth.
