They proceed to the river bank where two caiques are moored to the landing. The father and son enter one which is loosened by a servant and they row down the river. Further along the stream another caique, containing two Turkish women, passes them. Both look admiringly at the younger women of the two, although the Prince's look contains none of the insult conveyed in that of his father. The Pasha orders his oarsmen to put about and follow the other boat. They do so and the young girl is followed to her home which proves to be that of a wealthy merchant. The daughter and her chaperone enter the house, the Pasha's servant following, he makes a note of the number of the house and hurries back to inform his master. Inside in one of the richly furnished rooms the father and daughter are talking affectionately as a servant enters and announces a messenger from the Pasha. He hands the merchant a note which reads "You are requested to appear before the Pasha immediately and bring your daughter." They are horrified at the command but realize that failure to obey will mean death, so sadly follow the servant to the Pasha's abode. The merchant and his daughter are presented to the Pasha, who announces that he wants the girl for his harem. Pleadings are in vain, the merchant is given a bag of gold in payment for his daughter while she is led away. During this time the Prince and the girl have been casting sly glances at each other. He is seen to write something on a card and as the girl is taken away be follows, the Pasha looking after him rather suspiciously. In passing through the corridor the Prince passes the cord into the girl's hand and walks on. She goes to the harem and unnoticed reads on the card "I will try to save yon to-night. Stay awake." Night comes and in the corridor outside of the harem room, a guard is on watch. The Prince comes along, tells him that the Pasha has sent for him and offers to take his place on guard. As the servant hurries off, the Prince cautiously opens the door, beckons to the girl and they both hasten through the corridor, leave the palace, go to the river and row off. The servant meanwhile goes to the Pasha's smoking room. The master looks up angrily, asks why he has dared leave his post of duty. He answers that the Prince has sent him. Pasha suspects the truth, jumps up and hurries out with the frightened servant. They reach the harem chamber, where there is one empty divan, verifying his suspicions. Servants are hurriedly ordered in pursuit, the chase leading over the river, then through a stretch of woods. On a road the pursuing party is close at hand, when the Prince spies an automobile containing tourists rapidly approaching. The auto party sympathize with the couple and take them into the machine. They start out just as the Pasha's servants reach the spot. A little later, in a well furnished room in France, the Prince and the girl are the center of a bridal party, the contracting parties being the Pasha's son and the girl whom he saved.
