I'm THE HANDS OF THE HUM.
eighth Episode.)

There is a thrill from the very start
of the eighth episode of wolves of
Kultur." The chauffeur, of Alice, fol-
lowed by Carter, the butler of Zarem-
ba, the master spy, is cornered by the
giant and the only venue of escape
left for the younger man is the water.
He takes a desperate chance and dives
from the cliff. The butler, thinking
that he has been killed, takes the trail
back. The chauffeur, however, comes
through safely and finding Bob, tells
of the whereabouts of Zaremba.
In the meantime, Barclay, the detec-
tive, has come upon the ave of the
spies where they have secreted the
model of the wireless torpedo. He is
o~verpowered, bound and carried to the
barn of Zaremba's place. Helen, Bob's
sister, witnesses his capture and fol
lows.
Bob and the chauffeur reach Zarem-
ba's retreat and stealthily hide. They
see some of the gang carrying boxes
into the barn and decide to investigate.
In the upper part of the barn Barclay
is held prisoner, securely bound.
The chauffeur and Bob gain entrance
to the upper portion of the barn by
climbing up through a window. They
move cautiously in the dark loft. One
of the gang below, hearing them, comes
up and begins shooting, but is hit by
a bullet from Bob's gun and goes crash
ing down the ladder.
Knowing that the rest Of the gang,
attracted by the shooting, will soon be
upon them, Bob and the chauffeur
make a dash for safety. The chauf-
feur is killed as he leaps from the
barn, but Bob gets away.
In the meanwhile, Alice, held priso-
ner by Zaremba in the house on the
estate and faced with vengeful vio-
lence, suddenly changes her appearance
of fear and aversion and becomes ten
der with the villain. She tells him
that she has always admired him-his
courage and his daring-and that he,
after all, is the one she really loves.
The adroit spy, full of vanity and
proud of his power over women, is
fiattered, and for once, thrown off his
guard. The brave girl, who was re-
PEELED by his very touch, resolutely
plays her part until the opportunity
comes for which she is waiting. She
seizes the revolver from his pocket,
and holding him off, seeks to escape,
but he disarms her and she struggles
desperately to escape.
Bob, who has made his escape from
the barn, approaches the house. Alice,
beset by Zaremba, gives one despairing
shrek as she puts forth the last of her
falling strength. Bob locates the room,
reaches it by way of a veranda and
comes crashing through the window
just in the nick of time.
Zaremba is knocked out and Alice
and Bob make their escape through
the window and over the yeranda.
Both of them mount a horse and dash
away.
Carter, the butler, goes to the barn
and making sure that Barclay is still
securely bound, mounts a bicycle and
begins a chase after Alice and Bob.
The fugitives, thinking that they
have eluded the spies, are taken una
wares in the woods and in the strug-
gle, Alice becomes separated from Bob.
While he is engaged with the butler.
Alice breaks away from the grasp Of
the master spy who finally ONE upon
her as she stands on the edge OF a
sheer precipice 400 feet in height.
Now" he a with his face con-
torted with hate, "now you are going
to die" He reaches for her with the
intention of hurting her to the rocks
below. Although weakened by her
trying experiences within the last few
hours, Alice musters every reserve of
her strength, knowing that now she
can expect no mercy and that it is
really a fight for life, with all of the
chances against her.
They are swaying on a dizzy brink,
the girl fighting with desperation of
terror and the man insane with fury,
bent upon her death. Bob sees them
and begins to scale the rocky wall
with almost -super-human agility.
The big moment comes when Zarem-
ba loses his footing and falls partly
suspended over the brink of the preci-
pice, hanging on to Alice's arms and
slowly dragging her with him.
