Lund first climbed through the vim
dow, and stood on the stone sill. He
then assisted Peg to reach his side,
and instantly began the perilous de-
| scent. They made their escape not
| an instant too soon.
Being in a remote part of town,
| the alarm was delayed, and only few
people had been attracted by the fire
| when the young people had accom-
plished their escape. Without waiting
for an investigation, Lund hurried Peg
to the circus grounds, disregarding the
| commotion they created as they ran
through the streets.

Flip was fast recovering from the
shock of Pegs attack, and when he
heard that the girl was safely re-
turned to the show, the joy Of realiz-
ing that she was unframed served to
completely revive the old clown. When

The afternoon had passed amid such
excitement that it was. almost six
o'clock when Doctor Lund, with Flip
and Peg, arrived at the house. Mrs.
Lund was impaticntly waiting for the
will to be read. and had repeatedly
urged the lawyer to proceed.
"Every condition Of the will must be
complied with to make it legal" said
the attorney, nettled by Mrs. Lunds
eagcrncSs.
AS the hour Of six approached Mrs.
Lund became more impatient and rest
less. And when young Lund arrived,
just few moments within the hour,
she was greatly cnraged to discover
that he had brought along Peg and
the old clown.
"What right has this girl to come
here at this time:" cried Mrs. Lund as
Peg, with Flip, entered the room.
"Every right. as you shall soon see,"
said Flip in suayely aggravating tone
that served only further to infuciate
the mcrcenary and cruel woman.
| The lawyer adjusted his glasses and
opened the will Then he read the
Itbrief document. In the first two para
graphs Doctor Lund referred to his
murringe to Mrs. Lund, relating that

wrong done to both the girl and her
mother, La Belle lie Sieur."
Mrs. Lunds outburst Of passionate
rage almost drowned the voice of the
lawyer as he read the important para
graph. The cnraged woman held aloft
the letter Chockro had given her and
shrieked at the top Of her voice: -.
/ "This impostor. shall not have the
fortune. Here is a letter left by her
mother that shows Peg had no claim

Here's the thing that struck me
about the Straight and Narrow
Way: At one end of It the Rev.
Frank Dyer was preaching the
same kind of religion, expound-
ing the same sort of philosophy
that the Rev. r. H. McGinnis was
preaching at the other end!
Preaching Modern Doctrine.
Both were preaching the prin-
ciples of applied, practical Chris
tianity-the kind of Christianity
that the people OF a modern, NOV
ing, progressing world could ac-
cept as reasonable and logical and
could pin their faith in as phil
osophy Of life.
Both were tearing the hides
off dogmas, superstitions and
and binders accumulated In past
generations.
Rev. Dyer was demonstrating
that the once popular dogmas of
1.-THE end Of the world" and the
second coming Of Christ" are en-
tirely without Biblical authority.
Rev. McGinnis was putting

FIRED CHURCH, movie man,
who denies that "once a villain
always q villain" is a rule that
holds in the world of makeup and
whirring camera.
Church made his name in the
films as a wicked villain. The
wickeder the better, he used to
think. TIE was pleased when he
heard an audience hiss him when
he nearly shot the hero In the back
or stole his sweetheart from him.
Now it's different. He's playing
hero parts and he says it's the
easiest sort of thing to Jump the
gap between hero and villain. He
believes that his experience as q
bad man" has helped him add a
little real character to his hero
parts.

doll-baby variety of hero or the
hero who bids for public favor
With his good looks. says Fred.

day removed the bodies of Engi-
nees James Heasley and Fireman
L. f.. Rape from beneath the
wreckage of their locomotive. The
men we're killed when the train
hit log on the Grays Harbor
branch of the Northern Pacific.
Heasley died instantly. Rape
was pinned under the. tender for
16 minutes before he became un-
conscious. While lying there he
dictated a farewell note to his wife
and baby in Tacoma.
Rape was slowly scalded to
death by escaping steam. He
begged the train crew to kill him.
Both Rape and Heasley we're Ma
sons, the engineer being a promi-
nent Shriner in Tacoma. The
bodies will be taken there.
The tree trunk which derailed
the locomotive was nearly five
feet thick. 1t evidently toppled
over the. track few minutes De-
fore the engine crashed into 1t.
A track walker who passed the
spot short time before the train
was due there said the rails we're
clear then.
No passenger coaches were
wrecked. The express and bag

1t is believed the people of all
countries want peace--America
included---so long as there is no
sacrifice of the principles for
which the fighting has been going
on.
This government is convinced
there can be no formal discussion
of peace unless such discussion
carries an avowed willingness of
Germany and Austria to restore
Belgium and Serbia.
There can be no peace without
assurances OF disarmament on a
large scale in all countries with
some plan for alliance of nations
to prevent future wars.
