He passes through the groups of men, who all drink to his health, and goes down into the hold where the girl is. He endeavors to win her good graces, but she repels him and begs to be liberated; he has her at his mercy, laughs at her pleas and departs, promising, however, to return, at which time she must submit to him. Meanwhile her favored lover'discovers that the girl has been kidnapped and with a band of friends mans a vessel and starts out for the pirate ship. The scene changes, showing the pirate crew as they sight the vessel." The decks are cleared,' cannons manned, and all is ready for the struggle. The rescuers come into view, and smoke belches forth as the cannons spk their fire After a short range exchange of shot the rescuers sail into the broadside of the bandits and the fighting ships grapple. The rescuers, armed with cutlasses, swarm to the side of their ship and' onto the decks of the enemy. A hand-to-hand conflict en- sues, in which pirates and rescuers are tumbled into the water locked in struggling embrace. They swarm over the enemy's ship and cut down the men at the cannon. Running down the hatchway, the girl's lover meets the man who had kidnapped her face to face, and they fight. The res- cuer draws back suddenly and pointing his pistol at the man fires. The pirate crew disposed of, the heroic band go below where they break open the door of the hold and the lovers are locked in each others arms. The girl's father and mother are seen at home brooding over the loss of their daugh- ter, when suddenly they are aroused by a. noise outside, and before they can realize it the girl and her lover, followed by the band o£ rescuers, come bursting into the room, where now all is joy and happiness. Another film, "The Plank," shows a lum- ber merchant dispatching his messenger with a large plank to be delivered at a cer- tain address. As he lifts the long board on his head one end comes down on the cra- nium of his employer. He now starts off, and in endeavoring to turn a corner pushes one end of it through the window of a grocery; in making another swing he sweeps off the high hats of some gentlemen who are. seated in the park, and while turning about to find out the cause of the commotion the other end sails into the face of another man. He now stops to talk to a friend, and in backing up a little bit smashes the head of a man who is stand- ing at a window. Still he goes on his way, and in endeavoring to avoid a pedestrian he sweeps an entire stand of crockery into the gutter. Going still further, he almost col- lides with a man, but manages to hit an old lady. In turning out of this he falls over a nurse who is wheeling a baby in a carriage The carriage goes over, the baby falls ont and is promptly run over by an automobile and the carriage is demolished by a stage- coach. Out of this trouble he walks along a bank of a river and is annoyei by some boys; in turning to go after one of them, the other tips one end of the plank so that the other end prods a fisherman in the ribs and he goes overboard into the water. At this the plank-bearer makes off, partly to even scores with the boys and partly to avoid an arraignment for manslaughter. "Bud" O'Brien, a big, good-natured cow- puncher, and his "gal," out for a canter, visit his old friend, Chief Lame Deer, a friendly Indian. After an exchange of presents and pleasant reminiscences, "Bud" departs with his "gal." They are not gone long when a band of hostile Indians, of which Lame Deer is the chief, come upon the scene and berate him for not taking to the war path with them, and, unable to reason with them, he dons his war bonnet and shirt and goes with them. The next scene shows a company of United States Cavalry resting before a ranch, and "Bud's" "gal" slyly gives a let- ter to a soldier, to be delivered to "BuaV and serves the men with coffee. The colonelnow gallops in and orders them to the saddle for a twenty-mile ride to where the Indians are stealing cattle and massa- creing the whites. On their ride they find "Bud" lying on the ground in delirium from an arrow in his side, sent there by the redskins. He is put in the saddle, and they gallop off. The cavalry is seen encamped in a ra- vine. ' "Bud" is lying on the ground-, at- tended by the surgeon. The camp is_ at- tacked, and after a fierce battle the Indians are routed. Chief Lame Deer manages to sneak in, and is about to brain "Bud" with a stone axe, when he recognizes him as his old friend and carries him out on his shoulder. After "Bud's" complete recovery he mar- ries the "gal" of his heart— Lubin. The parents of the young minister, in their New England home, are packing his trunk in readiness for his departure for the Far West Arriving at his destination, he is hailed with great merriment and i? rision by the denizens of the place. One half-drunken cow-puncher seems to find de- light in annoying him. While the parson is a man of peace, he has not forgotten the athletic training in the seminary, and hi H
