Brenner of the English Army, and he persuades her to flee with him and marry him. This flight is accomplished at great danger to them as the Indians lie in ambush and make a desperate fight before the girl can be removed to a ship sailing for England, as Capt. Brenner is returning, having been transferred home. On arrival in England, Phyra is welcomed into society. She and her husband are very happy. Back in India the Hindoo priests, by an occult process, summon the soul of Phyra and threaten her husband unless she returns and fulfills her allotted mission. She is alarmed and does so, leaving Brenner a note informing him they will be united forever in another plane. She returns to India, is burned on the funeral pyre, and her soul ascends to Paradise. Meanwhile Brenner has gone to the dogs. The Scotland Yard detectives are unable to locate his missing wife and Brenner is drinking heavily. One day in a club he is drinking when Phyra in Paradise beckons to him, as the girl has read in the Brahmin Philosophy that one soul which beckons another from Paradise will be obeyed. Brenner is shown to die in the club, and his soul ascends and mingles with that of Phyra. Written by
