The Girl in His House Synopsis

When James Armitage, a wealthy young man, is jilted by Clare Wendell, he leaves for Burma after committing the care of his estate to his lawyer. Years later he is informed that Clare is a widow. His old love for her flames anew and he returns to find that the lawyer has absconded with half of his fortune and that his mansion has been sold to the father of Doris Athelstone. Armitage's love for Clare dies, and an investigation reveals to him that the lawyer is in reality the thief and the father of Doris, and that the young girl, who has not seen her father since she was a baby, is under the impression that he is an explorer. In his love for Doris, who is the sole occupant of his mansion, he keeps this a secret, but is impelled to disclose the facts to her when, entering his house for some papers, he is shot by Doris. He starts out to unravel the mystery and locates the father dying in Yucatan. The old man tells Armitage that he stole to keep his daughter from want, and forgiven, he dies happy. Armitage, returning, marries Doris, but keeps secret that her father was a thief.

The Venturers Synopsis

The one was a venturer; the other an adventurer--the one a man who wanted to see adventure, but who had never been beyond the city limits; the other a man who had seen adventure in all parts of the world, and who assured the venturer that things were just as monotonous every place in the world as in the city. So they met, each seeking for the unconventional on a New York street, and dined together as men out of luck, with two cents between them--and still nothing happened. They both had credit at the hotel. Then into their lives came the feminine influence: a sweet girl who lived in a house which was irrevocably a household. The adventurer hesitated--he had yet to satisfy his longing for the incalculable. Suddenly, love changed the venturer into an adventurer, and settled the adventurer into a venturer.
