the thrills and the little heroine of
the circus can be depended upon to
do this with plenty to spare. In the

cellar of the den in danger of drowning

at an entertainment given by DR.. Lund
for the circus employees, Peg, under the
spell of her strange Inheritance, accuses
her sweetheart, DR.. Lund, Jr., of be-
ing one of the counterfeiters and the
young physician is arrested.
