love OF their chieftain, E'rince Kara,
for the Princess Yo San.

and attends the feast. While bidding
his host goodby he almost swoons from
the pain of his wounds. and Yo san
who reciprocates his love. hides him
In a little house in her garden and
nurses him back TO strength.
In the following scene Prince Kara
has been captured by his enemies. and
after refusing to disclose the hiding
place of his followers. is placed In the
torture chamber Yo San secures his
release by giving the minister of war

swords the outlaws go forth TO their
death Prince Kara is allowed to die
by his own hand. and the last act pre-
sents the tryst of death between him
