possession of the tiny object which
has caused so much trouble. Jack
Randall is aroused by the commotion
and rushes into the room and attacks
Tiger Face while Hilda makes her
escape with the Idol.
Randolph Gordon, returning home
from dance hall orgy, sees the sill
houettes of the two men fighting in
the window, and draws his gun to
fire, only to find that the. cartridges
are gone, having been extracted by
Faro Nell. The conflict between Jack
and Tiger Face ends by the latter
tearing away and escaping by run
ming along the porch roof and thence
to the ground.
The following day Faro Nell comes
to Jack and Belle and shows them
the cartridges she extracted from
Randolph Gordon's gun revealing the
fact that he is the murderer of
Knockout" Smith. Randolph chances
to overhear this and Immediately
takes flight and Jack and Belle and
some of the cowboys go after him
all on horseback. Randolph comes to
the secret entrance to the Tiger Wor-
shippers temple just as Hilda, the
maid, enters it to take the Tiger Idol
in to the Hindus and claim the re-
ward they had promised her. Ran
dolph follows her through a secret
passage to the Temple and watches
her return the Idol to Salonga, the
High Priest of the Hindus and re-
ceive large sum of money in return.
Randolph then notes that only one
priest has been left to guard the Idol
as the others all leave and he attacks
the lone Hindu and secures the Idol.
Hilda, leaving the temple has gone
to Shotwell and Tiger Face and told
them of the Idols return to the
Hindus. Tiger Face is made very
happy by this news, for the Hindus
have promised to remove the hor-
rible tattooing which has changed his
face to resemble that of a Tiger,
when the Idol is returned to them.
So he hastens to the subterranean
temple and Salonga is about to re-
move the tattooing by a secret pro-
cess when he discovers that the Idol
is gone. In the meantime Randolph
Gordon, hurrying from the Temple
with the precious Idol, is sighted by
Jack and Belle and Dashaway Davis,
leader of the cowboys.
They start for him, but by hiding
in creviee in the mine entrance, he
evades them and they run on into the
mine in which the temple is located,
passing by his hiding place. Belle is
slightly behind the others and as they
all go deeper into the mine she is
alone, and Randolph Immediately
comes up and seizes her. He is de-
termined to end her meddling in his
affairs and ties her to a post securely.
Then he goes to the mouth of the
mine and breaks large water pipe
which floods the mine. A great
torrent of water rushes into the
mine, but still the devilish Randolph
Gordon is not satisfied. He pour
can after can of kerosene onto
the torrent ana sets fire to it. Thus
a great flood of living flame is rush
ing towards Belle, bound and help
less, as the episode ends.
''The Tigers Trail" will be shown
at the Strand Theater on Saturday OF
! each week.
