One day a visitor approaches the door of the jungle cottage. It is John Vogel. He has not seen Sona since her marriage, and greets her with fatherl] affection. Fritz, just coming in from work, set tin ng and misinterprets it. He refuses to listen to John , throws Sona from him, and returns in a jealous rage to the hay field. John Vogel follows him to explain. Sona, wounded by the distrust of her husband, decides to take Iona and leave. She hitches their one animal to the clumsy wagon, t ikes a rifle and some extra clothing, and leaves. John prevails on Fritz to return to the house, and when they do it is deserted. In tei I what may happen to Sona and Iona in the jungle they take their guns and start in pursuit. At intervals glimpses are had of a panther stealthily seeking water ; of the king of beasts pressing back the jungle grasses in his search for prey; of the lion's lair in the rocks where tubs tumble and roll over their mother in play. At nightfall, Sona and her baby, still safe, come to a cleared space, where they decide to spend the night, Sona kills a calf which she had tied to the back of the wagon, and, having eaten, she and Iona fall asleep in the wagon. Sona is awakened by the approach of some animal. She sees a lion pick up the calf from the rocks and make away with it. She follows him and fires three times, but he gets away. While Sona is gone, Iona wakes in fear. She leaves the wagon and hides herself in the old trunk in which Sona had put their clothing. Curling up in it she falls asleep. She has just concealed herself when the lioness and her cubs come into the open and jump into the wagon. The approach of Sona scares them away, and she thinks they have taken Iona with them. John and Fritz, attracted by the shots, find Sona and search wildly for the baby. They give up finally and prepare to return home. Grasping the old trunk, they swing it into the wagon. The jolt awakes Iona, who raises the lid and looks sleepily out. And the reunited little group is a hJTppy one. "A SAD DEVIL." (SeUg.) Cast. Harry W W. Oakman Dick W. Scott Tom S.

In order to see them move three hours earlier than their scheduled time, Harry sets the alarm a:id lies abed to laugh as the other boys scramble into their clothes and rush hastily out into the wee hours of the morning to get breakfast that does not materialise for a long time. They soon determine that Harry is the res|>onsible party for their early discomfiture, and retaliate by sending him a letter from his sweetheart, enclosing an invitation to a masquerade ball, and instructing him to dress as Mephistopheles. Harry takes the invitation in earnest, and at the chosen hour and place finds himself face to face with the president of the college, who emphatically disapproves of his devil's disguise. He beats a hastv retreat, and on his way back to his room has a series of desperate and embarrassing experiences. "TEMPTED BY NECESSITY." (Sclig.) Featuring : Jim Rogers Carl Winterhoff Mrs. James Rogers Winnifred Greenwood Little Ruth Rogers Annamay Kroell Mrs. Tubbs Lillian Leighton Dan Tracy Mac M. Barnes Jim Rogers, a clerk in a real estate office, has been sent to the bink to make the daily deposit. On his way he overhears a j|P> UBS! m • { wBl -I ■ ».••_ j^ST""". ^T^Hyt A Tom, Dick, and Harry, a trio of college chums, spend their leisure time in framing up jokes upon each other. Dick and Tom have been reprimanded by the head of the institution for quarrel between a man and his wife, and goes in their back yard to act as mediator. During his rather strenuous labour he hangs his coat on the fence, and smooth Dan Tracy happens along, who abstracts the bank book and money. Rogers merely gets a beating for his interference, and then finds he has lost the money. His employer promptly discharges him. His efforts to obtain work are unavailing, and he is on the verge of starvation when Dan Tracy happens along, and suggests that he assist him in wrecking the pay train. Rogers is so weak and hungry that he assents to the scheme. The protestations of his wife against his association with Tracy have so much weight that when the desperado attacks the station operator Rogers interferes, and again gets the worst of it, being knocked into a state of unconsciousness by the maddened Tracv. The latter gets the switch key and rushes away to wreck the oncoming pay train. The faithful wife escapes from her room, rushes to tho station, revives her husband and the operator, and they all rush to the switch that Tracy has opened. They overpower Tracy and close the switch as the pay train thunders by to safety.
