In New Orleans, in 1921, Loren
Garde, recently an officer under
General jackson, is surprised by
the appearance, in ancient Span
ish costume of two men and
woman whose beauty enchants
him. Resenting the arrogance of
the elder of the two men, Garde
fights with him and wounds him.
He learns his opponent is Adolfo
de Fuentes, colonel in the Span
ish army in Venezuela. Garde
overhears a plot to overthrow

the Santa Lucrecia, ship bearing
arms for the Venezuelans. On
board are the conspirators, the
lady of his love, her brother Po-
Tito, and De Fuentes. From the
girl, Garde learns her name is
DulCe Lamartina. He loves her,
but does not reveal his love. The
vessel is wrecked. Garde reaches
the Venezuelan shore. alone. He
encounters a stranger and sees
DUlce. The stranger, Captain
Monahan of the British legion
under Bolivar, directs him to
friends in Caracas. There, sup
piled by Monahan with the Sc
cret sign of the patriots, he is
welcomed at the revolutionary
headquarters. Garde attends the
wedding of Dulce and De Flu

leaves De Fuentes at the altar
She is torn from Garde's arms.
He escapes. Finding Garde, Dulce
tells him her wedding to De
Fuentes was to have been the
price of Garde's life. They re-
veal their mutual love. Garde is
made prisoner. From De Fuentes
he learns Dulce has disappeared.
He is rescued from prison by a
revolutionist, Manuel, and with
Polito sets out for Bolivar's

Pearls Really Economical

The pearl is. Of course, the brides

whose bridegroom does not bestow
upon her necklace to tone with the
shimmering satin of the bridal gown.
The custom # giving pearls is really
based on reason of economy, odd as
this may sound. Pearls are the only
gem suited to every woman whatever
her age and which she can wear at
any time of the day with any kind
of frock. You men, take careful note
of that! "Give me the gift that dims
