She is intrigued with the Oriental stranger and h:« arlluent ways, but demapds that he prove his courage by retrieving her glove, which she will throw into the tiger's den at the zoo. "Achmcd" decides to take his chance, but as the tiger obligingly dies the night beforo the test, he is able to appear before his adored in safety, with his foot on the animal's neck. Unfortunately, there is still his rank to be explained away, and when this is done, the duchess will have none of him.
