THE STORY
In one of the Roman colonies
in North Africa there lives
beautiful young girl Nydia daugh-
ter of an old man who is Christ
ian. Nydia attends one of the
meetings of the new sect and is
baptized also. On ner way home
with her father a High Priest of
Jupiter, one of the main Roman
Gods, sees her and desires to
have her for one of the vestal
virgins. He sends two of his
attendants to seize her, but is
prevented by the passing of Caius
the son of the Roman governor.
Caius is very much impressed by
the beauty of Nydia but rides on
leaving her and her father to go
home. The High Priest sends
boy to follow them to their home.
When he gets the report of where
they live he takes some of his at
: tendants to seize her. They are
i. not successful although in the
struggle Nydia's father is killed
and their home is burned. Ny
dia escapes to the desert and
hides in a cave. A shepherd
passes with some sheep which are
attacked by lion and one of the
sheep is carried off and eaten by
: the lion. The cave where Nydia
hides is the lair of the lion and
she is terrified as he comes in and
stands on a rock near by and
rOars at her. The shepherd
