Desc: Through the Enemy's Lines: After distinguishing himself by promptly coming to the aid of the hard-pressed infantry, Lieutenant Brenner is granted a furlough to visit his aged father, who lives near the frontier. Well disguised as a peddler he starts on his journey and incidentally saves the life of General Bradorf, commander of the opposing forces, who has become separated from his staff and is being attacked by marauders. When entering his father's house he finds the General there, who has requested quarters for the night. Before leaving the next morning Bradorf finds the photo of a Lieutenant in his enemy's army, and discovers a striking resemblance between the peddler and the Lieutenant. In spite of his suspicion, and as a token of his gratitude he gives Ellinor, the Lieutenant's fiancée, a card asking her to notify him any time she or her kin are in danger. Shortly thereafter the opposing forces take position on the Brenner estate. The Captain and some of his officers enter the house, and discovering Brenner's disguise arrest him as a spy. He escapes, however, and finally rejoins his own lines. Enraged over the escape the Captain places the old father under arrest, informing him that unless his son returns before the morning he will be shot. By a daring stratagem Ellinor conveys the news to her sweetheart and he dashes homeward. He is sentenced to be shot in two hours. Availing herself of General Bradorf's card she succeeds in catching him and with an eloquent appeal induces him to save the life of her sweetheart. A happy reunion ends the story.
