down the door Of the desperate girls

Lucille's terrified hands.
But Loubeque IL not 20 easy to turn
from his purpose Of recovering the
OF his revenge and the disgrace Of Gen.
Love. He instructs his native slave to
collect dry grass and teaches him how
to weave q rope. This he stretches from
his own hut to Lucille's and ignites the
end in his hut In q short time the fire
eats its way to the hut where the daugh-

from her efforts and her narrow escape
from the lion.
To make assurance doubly sure. Lou

to assist him. Lucille. scarcely awak-
ened from her sleep, Ii driven from the
arms OF Loubeque. He struggles with
her and attempts to seize the papers
But Lucille's savages are at hand and
attack the spy before he can recover
the papers. The natives, however. are
very superstitious and deathly afraid Of
the Imprisoned fire in LoubeQue's au-
tomato revolver. One shot Is enough.
The tribe falls down before him In fear
and subsection.
In the meantime Lucille has made good
her escape and has entered the chiefs
hut. But while the natives are afraid
OF the white man. they are not afraid
Of the savases which support him. and
a terrible battle ensues between the ri
val tribes
In order to stop the carnage. Lucille
resolves to take advantage Of the super
stitions of the natives and dresses her
self all in white, improvtsing her gar
ments from sacks and white cloths
Climbing on the great white elephant
she goes among the warriors and the
fighting ceases like magic. All bow down
to the sacred objects. the color white,
the sacred elephant and the sacred heal

But Loubeque is not discouraged. and

means. Loubeque decides to try q clever
bit of deception on Lucille. He sends
the woman to the chief. in whose house
Lucille Is carefully guarded. with in
structions to tell the chief that she Is
from a neighboring tribe which is friend
ly. She is TO say her master lies Ill
and at the point Of death. and that she
has heard Of the wonderful white heal
ing woman who cured the chiefs daugh-
ter. and had been sent to get her to
heal the master.
The ruse succeeds. both the chief and
Lucille herself are completely taken in.
and Lucille starts Immediately on horse

time her companion. under Loubeque's
direction, has dug a pitfal and cleverly

most sensational pictures thus far shown
in the series. The horse is killed in

two slaves Of Loubeque climb down into
the pit, and the woman takes the papers
from the bodice Of Lucille's dress. She
returns them in triumph to her new
master. who decides that while he lacks
the sacred amulet which Is still around
Lucille's neck. his present mission is but
half accomplished.
