Capital end The Palace screen:
The second reel opens with the close
Of the fateiul week-Kathlyn still
refusing the alliance with Umballah.
the Council has decreed that she
must submit 10 two ordeals with
wild animals. II she survives these
she will be permitted to occupy the
throne like Elizabeth Of old, a.
maiden queen. Bruce, learning Of
her plight, has managed to commu-
nicate with her, and swears himst If
her life champion. Pundita commu
meats with Bruce the circumstances
Of the ordeals. In the first test
Kathlyn is dragged to q leopard's
trap and dashed to the mRin-stay cf
the deadfall as human bait to lure
the spotted cat from the depths Of
the Jungle. She is so secured that the
heavy door will fall the moment the
animal. springs upon it. Il would
seem that there is no hop for escape.
The faithful Pundita however. has
informed her that Bruce will not fail
to appear at the proper moment.
Now comes the stealthy leopard,
closer and closer TO the trap. At the
last moment there is = flash. but il is
not the form OF the leopard hurting
through the air-but Bruce. Even as
the heavy door tails, the famished,
frensie cat il clawiDg at it, trying
to break through. Bruce fires at the
animal through the bars. and il limps
back TO the jungle, broken from his
FIRE While Kathlyn has escaped from
the beast by a seeming marvel, for
the second time she refuses the re-
quest of the Council to marry the
villainous man that dominates them.
She is ordered 10 an amphitheatre.
where the populace assemble to wit
ness her tate as the refractory leader
of their community. Bruce. now
more wonderfully resourceful than
ever in Kathlyn's interest, appears
be fore the high priest and the Coun-
ell and tells them that a miracle will
save the Queen from the jaws Of the
savage lions, but if they compel her
TO submit to such a cruel ordeal. the
same force will destroy manv Of the
pc )ple assembled to witness her death.
The impressionable people shrink at
this idea, but stern Umbullah mOcks
at him and orders him driven out.
That same night we see Bruce and
Ramabai meet at the house Of a high
caste native. Ramabai is the leader
OF a band of high minded conspira-
tors, whose object is to uplift the
people and secure better government.
They lead Bruce to a secluded place
where are hidden land-mines, which
have been Struggled by Revolution
lists into Alfalfa, in view Of impend-
ing military troubles. These mines.
with electrical appliances tor opera
ton. are loaded on elephants, and
then under cover of iSht, the little
band enter the silent and deserted
arena Of the amphitheatre, bury the
mines and connect them with wires
lea ding TO a box on the lower am
phitheatre. The great day comes.
The hungry lions are shown in their
dens; the populace crowd in THE
stalls, and then comes kathryn, the
beautiful captive, regal even in her
simple robe OF white, who is led into
the arena. She walks to the far end.
and stands under a canopy designed
as a resting place for athletes be-
tween their fests. Umbullah and
his Council are in the royal box.
The keeper opens the door. and the
famished lions rush into the arena.
They see the shining human mark
they crouch their lean sinewy bodies
for the fatal spring. The scene dahes
back to the shadowy box where Bruce
is manipulating the push down of q
blasting machine. As he establishes
the connection, there is a rush, roar,
and the volcano OF earth and tone
burst in the arena, leaving in its litter
a great cash between Kathlyn and
the savage beasts. The spectators
fee in panic. leaving many dead and
wounded. Bruce leaps dowh from his
box into the arena and seizes Kathlyn
in his arms az the scene dims.
