Kathltn Pictures Tonight.

De presented at the ldlc Hour inca
ire this evening, three shows being
| given, the first show commencing
promptly at o'clock. The follow
ing is synopsis of the story which
is told in pictures tonight:
| The captain Of the guards who was
deposed by Umballah, observes Kath
Ign in perilous plight in the third
/ balcony of burning building, and
| Immediately rushes to COL Hare's
, residence, informing Bruce and the
Colonel of her tragic position. They
rush forward. Bruce throws up a
! rope, which Kathlyn fastens to the
balcony. He then ascends and helps
her to come down. They reach the
ground none too soon, for the build
quickly collapses.
Prince Umballah goes on his wick
ed way, thinking that he has ended
the opposition Of Kathlyn by fire,
but soon after reaching his own res
idence, he is informed that his spy,
the Majordomo, awaits him. He is
admitted to Umballah's presence.
Believing that he is near the end of
his reign, Umballah informs the spy
that the King, whom everyone be-
lieves to be dead, is alive and we'll,
but has been kept prisoner by his
! orders. Hen is secluded in hut in
! the forest closely guarded by UNI
ballah's slaves. The Majordomo,
: after receiving this startling bit of
.. information, is further instructed to
return to the palace where Ramabai
has assumed the throne, and to make
full and accurate reports of all that
has taken place there. The follow
ing day, Ramabai, who does not
know the real Office of the Major
domo, gives him message to Col.
Hare, informing him that he intends
to arrest Umballah for high treason.
! The spy quickly carries this infor-
nation to the wicked Prince, who in
retaliation, forms plan to poison
kamabai. He brushes some suppos-
ed pearls, which are in reality
composition of deadly poison, and
gives this powder to the Majordomo,
ordering him to put it in Ramabai's
wine cup. At the banquet that fol-
lows, kathlyn picks up this cup by
it, when the Majordomo, who really
! reverences her, sees the necessity for
quick action. He snatches the cup

; himself, believing that it was his
destiny to die, because he had failed
in his mission. In his dying breath,
he confesses the plot to kill Rama
, bal; likewise that the King is alive,
and held prisoner in jungle hut,
whose location he describes accur-
ately.
With this information, a search is
started for the King. But disloyal
slave at the same time carries the
news of the Majordomo's death, and
his confession to Umballah, and the
latter decides to kill the King rather
than have him rescued by Col. Hare,
and restored to the throne. With
! this purpose in view, Umballah starts
out on an elephant, while Col. Hare,
Kathlyn and party are already well
on their way on horses. Umballah, in
his haste to cut across country, goes
through a dangerous swamp, so that
, the elephant is mired, and he has the
great dissatisfaction of seeing Kath-
Ign and her party ride by him, he
helpless to go forward. The search
! ing party scatter and Kathlyn STUN
bles upon the hiding place of the
King, just as leopard in nearby
tree is about to spring upon the
guards at the door of the hut. They
! run for their lives, leaving Kathlyn
to save herself. The leopard springs
from, the tree to the roof of the hut,
which gives way, dropping the feroc-
ious beast upon the sleeping King.
He. awakens and gives battle. but
, would Immediately have been killed
had not Kathlyn slain the beast with
we'll aimed shot from her revolver.
When the real King is restored to
the throne, Col. Hare requests His
Highness to cancel the document
making him heir to the throne, to
which the King willingly consents.
Then kathlyn tells the reigning po-
tentate how Umballah stole the doc
ument from her. Soldiers are then
sent to Umballah's house to recover
this parchment, but Umballah. an
ticipating such a move, has skillfully
forged the document, which the sold
iers find naturally and return to. Col.
Hare. This is cancelled by the King,
who believes it to be the genuine
document.
Umballah \has been scheming as
!: usual in highly original fashion, and
has a plan to dispose of the King.
He cages lion in a royal cart that
usually carries the ladies of the Har-
EN-, and when opportunity presents
itself, the hungry savage is taken to
the window of the Kings private
chamber and released. The infur-
lated beast jumps upon His Majesty,
and almost tears him to pieces. Ram
abai, hearing the commotion, runs
to the Kings chamber and finds that
the long suffering man is gone be-
yond recall. His tragic death again
changes the affairs on the chess
board of State. The councillors
again declare Umballah the Prince
Regent of Alfalfa, and he in turn,
demands that Kathlyn and her faith
er be declared the only heirs to the
throne. They are reluctantly brought
before the councillors, and armed
with the forged document, show 1t to
him for relief. Immediately Umbal-
lab declares the forgery. and shows
the genuine narchment. This so
