THIRD EPISODE

"This looks like a hot TRAIL" cried
Flip, the clown, when with his party
of circus performers he dashed up to
NAL company and stopped, on ven
ture, upon seeing the automobile
standing by the roadside where Chock-
70 and his fellow kidnapers had de-
serted it.
Everybody out, quick, and well
make a search" was Flip's order when
the circus machine had stopped. And
Just as they began tumbling from the
tonneau there was the smash of bro
ken glass to attract their attention to
a window set In the front wall close to
the ground
Flip sped with all haste to the bro
ken window and, STOPPING down, was
able to discern in the moonlight that
poured into the cellar the pale faces
of man and woman.
"Come on, boys" he sang out as he
made a dive for the nearby door.
"She's in here. I'm dead sure Just
saw her face down there in the eel
lar"
One of the men ran to the broken
window and looked to make sure for
himself that the excited Flip was not
mistaken. When he heard the snarls
and growls Of the lions his mind
worked with speed that, no doubt,
saved young Lund and Peg from be-
ing, at least, badly clawed and in.
jured.
The circus man pulled from his
pocket a revolver he always carried
for emergencies around the show and
blindly addressing his aim in the gen
eral direction from whence came the
growls of the wild beasts he emptied
every chamber, holding the gun at
arms length inside the cellar.
The loud report made by the re
volver being discharged in close con
fines had a magical effect upon the
beasts. They ceased their growls and
started to stink back through the low
tunnel which had let them into the
cellar.
Young Lund cool and steady nerved

was in view. Lund sprang into the
air, calculating the distance at a
hazard. His iron-strong muscles with
stood the strain, and in another in
slant his feet had found secure hold
on the platform and he was safely
aboard.
He stood on the platform for a mo-
ment, regaining his composure, and
trying to formulate plan of proceed
ure. He was not long undecided. The
door of the car opened, after he had
turned the knob, and he found himself
in a sleeper, its long aisle deserted
and everyone apparently fast asleep.
Chockro was busy with his own
plans at the other end of the train.
With his men he entered one of the
forward cars and sneaked through the
ahead of the sleepers.
This car contained cages of small
animals and one big den of lions that
were safely secured in strong shift
ing cages" behind iron bars with doors
that slid up and down when properly
manipulated.
The keepers were all slowed COM
fortably away on top of the cages and
dens, sound asleep, except one man
! who drowsily kept watch.
The Hindoo introduced himself to
the animal man by pressing the cold
steel of his revolver against his head
after he had sneaked up behind the
surprised Waterman.
'Do what l want and you'll make
more money than you'll earn with 6
Job in five years. Keep still, be sensi

| Hindoo.
The Hindu displayed big roll o.

animal man.

sleepers, and I'll give you this bunch
of bills" Chockro continued. 81 hav,

door of the car and, leading his gang,
climbed to the top of the cars and ran
along until they reached the space be
tween the two sleepers, then they
dropped to the platform.
The lions entered the long aisle OF
the sleeper with the animal man driv-
ing them ahead of him. Disturbed
from their sleep, the animals were not
especially active, but moved drowsily

lower berths, or crouching down upon
the floor as II bewildered.
The wild shrieks of a circus girl

about him.
He has always shown himself quite
