LUCILLE LOVE

This series will be shown in moving
pictures at the Unique theater next
Friday night, June 5.
At the opening of the third chap
ter, Lucille Love is discovered more
dead than alive on the beach of the
cast by the storm which had wrecked
the small boat in which she escaped
from the burning liner Empress. AS
she regained consciousness she makes
sure that she has the papers which
she had taken from Loubeque, the
return of which will save her father
and sweetheart from disgrace. She
has them in the bosom of her dress.
AS she looks about she sees band
of savages and tries to escape. It is
all in vain; they overtake her and
make her captive The savages, how
ever, seem to consider her a sacred
being, and the chief takes her to
his hut where his little daughter is
sick, and asks Lucille to cure her.
Lucille sets to work and nurses the
chiefs daughter. She quiets her and
makes her comfortable. The chief
then assigns house to her and in
the sign language tells her that she
will be perfectly safe there.
In this hut Lucille for the first
time learns the secret of Loubeque's
life through reading his diary and see
ing the picture of her own mother,
who was the only love of the inter
national spys life.
When the crisis of the illness of
the chiefs little daughter is past, and
she RECEIVERS, the chief is eXtrava-
CANT in his praise and in his words.
Among other things he gives her a
sacred amulet, or charm in the shape
of a white elephant. By virtue of this
sacred object all the natives become
Lucille's slaves. The chief hangs the
charm about Lucille's neck, and in
token of the service she has rendered
she is permitted to ride the holy ele
plant as a mark of the royal favor,
and all the natives bow before her.
But Loubeque has escaped the fury
up on the same island which is now
Lucille's refuge. LOubeque sees the
honor which is being conferred upon
the girl who has the secret dispatch
es which she took from the desk in
his cabin, and he is filled with hate
and determination to get them back.
There comes upon the scene at this
moment a native Of an anarchistic
turn of mind, who hates anything
which has to do with the white wom-
an. Loubeque sees him and by vir
tue Of their common cause they join
forces. Loubeque, however, chokes
the savage nearly to death to show
him who is master
Together they plot to make way
with Lucille. Soon an opportunity of |
fers Lucille is restless and as she |
is regarded as a sacred person and |
can go anywhere without harm, she |
wanders on the sand dunes. The ma
tive, LOubeque's new slave, surprises |
her and starts to strange her In a |
moment it would all have been over |
had not the sacred amulet, which |
the chief had hung about her neck, |
escaped from her dress and attract

talisman works. He desists and bows |
three times before her. She is saved.
But Loubeque will not be defeat
ed so easily. He plots to drive Lu-
ellie out of Ter hut SO that he can
search it for the dispatches, and for |
that purpose he and the Native catch
snakes and put them through the
grass walls of Lucille's hut. Lucille
of course is terrified and runs out
into the night. Loubeque searches the
hut but cannot find the papers and |
mined than ever He watches the
hut as Lucille returns. The girl fears
to stay there and resolves to escape /
through the jungle. She goes to the
chiefs hut but decided not to waken
him and slips away into the doubly
dark shadows Of the jungle. But
nothing can escape the crafty eye
of the spy. He has. followed every
movement of the girl, who does not
even suspect that her e.my is OH
the island
Loubeque is not only the only en-
envy that poor Lucille has to contend
with. The jungle is full of wild
beasts, and she has not gone far be-
