THE EXPLOITS OF JEMIMA ANN. 159th EPISODE.
[Illustration: Jemima Ann, entering her 200 h.p. car, is handed a
missive. Something suspicious in the appearance of the bearer determines
her to take it to her friend, Professor Macpherson, the distinguished
inventor.]
[Illustration: In the meantime news has been brought to the members of
the Scarlet Skull Gang that Macpherson has invented the most deadly
silent pistol ever constructed. Determined to get the secret of this
weapon, they proceed surreptitiously to his residence, taking with them
an adjustable periscope.]
[Illustration: Jemima Ann shows Macpherson the missive. While he is
explaining to her the construction of the new pistol she detects the
periscope. Macpherson continues his explanation, but makes a vital
change in the arrangement of the various parts of the weapon.]
[Illustration: The Scarlet Skull Gang, in their secret armoury,
construct a pistol from the information clandestinely obtained through
the periscope.]
[Illustration: Macpherson has advised Jemima Ann to keep the appointment
requested in the missive. He accompanies her to the corner, and then
bids her to proceed alone without fear.]
