He cuts on the automobile number noted on Lord John's cuu: — his chief object in coming. When Lord Jonn later nnds tne box under the bed, mioses tbe envelops and sees the severed cull, be knows be has been tricked, but can do nothing. In the early morning Lord John starts out in his motor to be at tue point where he knows Maiua will be met by the Head bister and driven to the home, un the platiorm he sees a woman whom he recognizes by her garb to be the Head bister. Ihe wind toases her veil irom her lace and she is seen to be wearing a gray mask. Word comes that Maida's train is stalled up the track. Lord John huds Maida troubled by the delayed train and in this condition persuades her to tell him what is and always has been the shadow oi her Hie. Maida conudes her story : Years before, her mother had jilted Roger Odell's father to marry an English Army Officer of whom nothing was known. Three years later the mother returns, dying, and begs Odell to take Maida. As a young girl she is loved by Lieutenant Granville, who is insanely jealous without cause. In the midst of a ball he enters the small anteroom where Maida is surrounded by young men. He then vents bis jealous rage upon the girl, hnally sinking into a chair, panting, asking Maida to get bis handkerchief where it protrudes from bis cuff. Maida draws it out. Granville starts and falls writhing to the Boor as a muffled report rings out. Maida tears open his shirt, revealing a revolver with a string leading from the trigger to the handkerchief. The guests burst into the room and Granville's mother accuses Maida o£ murder. This is her tragic past — and the world has never let her forget it. She is entering the Gray Sisterhood in search of peace. Lord John jots in his faithful journal : "My Maida's sorrows make her mine to save from the Gray Sisterhood — tonight." In the Sisterhood home Maida is asked if the mummy case will come with her trunk. She says it can never be removed from its shrine. Then a light beams from the half-globe of glass, and in the aperture Rameses' face appears. But Lord John had discovered the nunnery and is waiting for just such a contingency in his automobile outside the gate. He assists Maida to escape and then restores her to the Odells. ■<tu^^» ■<^^§> -<rt^^ MovingPicture Exhibitors a THE RE'WARD OP CHIVALRY— Three Reels — Jan.
