Barrett, Alfred Wilson. Father Pink. †$1.50. Small.
A wily tho good-natured priest enters a fight to secure for his niece, Lucretia, money and diamonds which, by right of an unsubstantiated claim, go to the heroine of the tale, a young French girl. Interested in righting the much-tangled up affairs of fortune is a young bachelor who, tho outwitted on several occasions and who sees Father Pink disappear thru a tiger’s cage with the coveted diamonds, none the less wins the heroine and restores to her her wealth.
