 There is a powerful scene, show ing the daughter of the spy, who is in love with her fathers prisoner. To- cstsd in the tower of the grim old fortress. She is a very clever woman, and brings her wits into play by plan ming to free her lover, who is con- demned to be executed the following morning. To accomplish this she pries LID the tiles on the roof of the fortress and digs a hole down through the cell ing of the room where the condemned man is Once in, she makes it an easy matter to get to him the neces- sary ropes, and the most thrilling in cident of the play occurs thereby. This brave little woman lowers herself upon a rope. from the roof-top to the ground "a distance of some 100 feet or more. The happy pair have scarcely reached the ground when they are overtaken, and in the melee the girl is shot, when the spy discovers his daughters true lover is his own prisoner.
