 The plays time Is 1895 and the action

 ed Rodney Blake. to reconnoitre the
 ground and to ingratiate himself into
 Prinsloo's home. The young fellow, in
 sl1ulkins about the farm by night, &C.,
 cidentally encounters Mona Prinsloo, the old mans daughter (played by Miss
 Lipman) and an acquaintance begins,
 ripening speedily into love AS re-
 suit Blake finds it impossible to pur-
 sue the plan marked out for him by
 his comrades. Then, overcome by his
 passion, he begs Mona to fly with him from Doppersdorf. The girl, after severe struggle with herself on account
 of her devotion to her father, finally
 consents to do what Blake asks, and leaves with him for Johannesburg. Be-
 fore leaving, however, the physician has secretly performed an operation which has restored her fathers hear ing. The old man follows and recap lures his daughter and arrives home to learn all about the plot for the great historic raid, for the plotters thinking him deaf discuss all their plans in his presence.
