Adventures of Kathlyn Tonight.

No. Z of "The Adventures of Kath-
lyn" will be shown at the Idle Hour
theatre this evening, the first show
starting promptly at 7 o'clock. The
synopsis of the reels for tonight fol-
low:
The vengeful Umballah having de-
livered his three bags of silver and
secured Col. Hare as his prisoner, de-
parts for the Palace Of Allah, leav-
ing hathlyn and Bruce tied to the
tiger cart with their backs to the
savage beast and facing another
death, at the hands of the brutal
brigands Hardly has Umballah got
ten away well before the turbulent
members Of the brigand band de-
mand of their chief their share of
the silver ransom on an equality
basis. The chief refuses to do their
bidding, simply tossing them one
; bag and reserving two for himself.
This precipitates bloody riot, and
| in the melee the mutinOus members
, of the band release Kathlyn and
Bruce from the tiger cart, and tie
their own chief to the cart. The VIC
torious fighters then rush into their
cave to divide the spoils. The lead
err of the mutinous band next con-
ceives bright idea of liberating the
/ tiger and allowing it to tear their
late leader to pieces. The chief,
however, manages to deftly slip his
bonds and dart away into the jungle.
The brigands, in the security of their
cave, pull the rope of the cage door,
the tiger dashes out, pursues the
chief and eventually kills him.
While the victorious thieves are
looking to furtherance of their
own selfish interests, Bruce and
Kathlyn find two loaded rifles and
taking advantage Of the brigands,
bar up the entrance of the cave, leav-
ing them prisoners, and making their
own escape. They go forward to a
little village where they are given
shelter. Having recuperated there,
Kathlyn decides that she must liber-
ate her father, so they engage cam
els and retrace their trail to Allah.
At the outskirts of the city they send
a message to Ramabai and Pundita,
requesting assistance and DISCUSSES.
The friends of the story being
united, lay plans in train for the lib
Grafton of Col. Hare. Ramabai has
already preached to the ambitious
Umballah, the idea Of marrying Col.
Hare who has been forced upon the
throne, to native girl, which would
further the nefarious plans of UNI
ballah to a desirable elimination
The imposing coronation of COL
Hare, the pitiful scene of claiming
him to his own throne, and giving
him the empty honors of a poten-
tate with the humiliation of pris-
oner, serve series of sensational
scenes. Umballah has fallen in with
the plan for the furtherance of his
ambitions and greedily consents to
the suggestion of Ramabai. Native
girls, heavily yelled are then parad-
ed before the throne, and their
choice is almost forced upon Col.
Hare. Kathlyn has been disguised
as one of these native girls; and
when she discloses her features to
her father, he at once recognizes
some plan is afoot for his own de-
liverance, and elects her as his con-
sort. Her veil drops and Umballah,
who views the ceremony from dis
lance, is completely in the dark as
to her identity.
He goes to the treasure room of
pards, and secures the betrothal
chain of pearls, but in his haste, he
leaves the outer gate of the treasure
room open, and the leopards escape,
rushing through the palace in diff
ferent directions. The formal an
nouncement of the wedding has
hardly been made, before the alarm
spreads, and there is mad scramble
for safety. In the panic that ensues,
Kathlyn becomes separated from her
father and Ramabai, and hides in a
covered cart, in the Garden of
Brides.
In the interim, Bruce has prepar-
ed camels for the party to take flight
to the coast, but when they assemble
on the outside of the wall of the
Garden of Brides, the party are woe
fully disconnected on Tearing that
Kathlyn is the only missing member
of the outfit. They are fearful that
the leopards may have overtaken her.
