what she had heard; to find out IL he
could or would solve the puzzling
problem. ar..
While the girl was returning to the
show, Mrs. Lund and Chockro con-
tinued their deliberations. The plan
to put the Hindu in charge Of the out
fit seemed most feasible, and having
written the letter, Mrs. Lund gave it
to Chockro. ... -. .-. . d. ..z.r :
Flip carried the news Of Doctor
Lund's death to the circus folk, where
the Information quickly spread to all
departments. The manager of the
show made a hurried start for the
Lund home, but when he arrived Mrs.
Lund sent word by the maid that she,
was too overcome with grief to see:
him.
MRS. Lund has appointed new
man to take charge Of the show" was
the message the maid said she had
been instructed by her mistress to-
give to the manager.
Among the performers there were
various sorts of comment, but the ira
ditions of the circus were maintained
and there was not one i'll word to be-
spoken Of the departed governor"

curely and resisted all Of his efforts.
Get sledge, quick" was Chock-
.o's hurried order to his man. And
when the heavy implement had been
secured the Hindu began beating III
the top and sides Of the trunk. When
an opening had been made sufficient
to expose the contents, Chockro
dclved rapidly into the heaps of, fcmi-
nine belongings.
"Good-here it isl" cried the Hindu,
as he snatched letter from its hiding
place in the trunk and quickly trans:
ferred it to his inside pocket. r.
At that moment wild cries OF ex-
cited people came to the ears OF
Chockro and his man. Frightened by
the uproar and not knowing what
caused 1t, the two men rushed from
the tent and found themselves in the
midst of panic-stricken mob. .,

ing tent toward the ''big top" the an

air.
In the confusion Flip was able to
make little progress in his efforts to
reach the struggling girl. The old
clown believed that If he could claim
her attention, that he might be able
to pacify his half-crazed and grevious-
ly afflicted child.
Suddenly by some strange impulse.
Peg turned from her attacks upon the
crowd and ran from the arena, toward
the dressing tents. The performers
had gathered there outside Of the ''big
top" and Peg ran into groups of her
friends as she reached the back
door" Of the tent. III
BY concentration Of sheer force, sew
eral Of the men ovcrpowered the girl
and literally threw her into one Of the
smaller dressing tents. Flip had
watched her leave the "big top" and
as fast as he could push his way
through the crowd, followed the girl
into the open.
"She's in here, Flip" shouted the
men who had forced Peg into the
dressing tent. "Go in after her, and
you may be able to handle her."
But as Flip entered one end of the
tent. the girl fed screaming from the
opposite side. The show folk started
in pursuit, followed her as she lodged
among the smaller tents, vaulting over
guy-ropes and scrambling in and out
among the various distractions.
When. she finally disappeared they
found her inside Of tent where
trunks and other baggage had been
sitting on a wardrobe box rocking
back and forth, moaning and crying
piteously. The show folk waited for
Flip to reach the tent, and then they
sent him inside with the hope that he
could now approach and soothe his
suffering child. .f'E'-! .'I'" '

The circus crowd, called to action

Flip had barely settled himself up
on the wardrobe case beside, Peg,
when she suddenly attacked him with
q greater fury than she had ever
shown before. Alone with the girl,
his cries drowned by the tumult raised
by the fighting and shouting mob out

mercy Of the Infatuated girl.
She sprang to her feet with tiger

The instant Mrs. Lund discovered

ing the door, she contOrted her face

formation that Doctor Lund had just
that moment died. Her mock anguish
instantly swerved Peg and Flip from
their purpose, and young Lund's sin,
cere sorrow made quick appeal to the,
circus girls sympathies. =:
Peg spoke a few consollng words to;
Mrs. Lund and then drawing young
Lund gently aside, went with him to,
the chamber where his stepfather lay
dead upon the floor. Left alone for
the moment with Mrs. LUnd, the old
clown added his own condolences I'M
expressing his regret to the deceitful
and heartless woman. ..
Peg silently withdrew from the
death chamber and left young Lund
alone with his step-father's body:
Passing Mrs. Lund, as the woman hid
her face in mock grief, the girl sug-
gested to Flip that they leave tho
house Of death and return to the
show. .
In going through the entrance hall,
Pegs sharp eyes detected the Hindu
and one Of his men sneaking through
an adjoining room. She whispered to-
Flip to proceed alone, because she had
changed her mind and would see.
young Lund again. The girl was anx-
ious that her daddy should not know:
the reason for her sudden determine
ton, and she therefore left Flip with
out further comment and darted into
the drawing room. 49,,
Secreting herself behind q chair, the
girl was able to peek cautiously over
the high-backed rocker and observe
through a series of connecting doors,
that Mrs. Lund was in consultation
with the Hindu and his man. Watch
ing her opportunity, the girl crept
from room to room until she could
hear the conversation.
''This will leaves everything to his
only child" Mrs. Lund was saying as
Peg came close enough to overhear.
"Peg is the rlghtful heir and must be-
got out of the way" the woman con-
tinued.
Put me in charge Of the show"
said the Hindu, land I'll find way
to get the letter, and that will settle
the girls claim on any of the es-
tate"
THAT'S a good idea," Mrs. Lund re-
piled. Il think I'll do that. 1t will
give us command of the situation,
anyhow"
Although Peg had heard with her
own ears what Mrs. Lund had said,
she could not fully realize the import
of the information. AS she watched
and listened the Hindu became rest
less and began looking suspiciously
around the room. .... w.
Chockro's actions made Peg uneasy,
and she decided that 1t were better to
leave the house at once, for fear her
presence might be discovered and
harm come to her at the hands Of the
cOnspirators. s4
Having gained the hallway in: safe
ty, Peg crept silently to the door and
passed out Of the house. Her hurry
Ing feet soon carried her beyond fear
of discovery, and then she proceeded,
to the show grounds.
Over and over the girl considered
what Mrs. Lund had said. The more

Joe spent, a part of his youth on the island of Barbados, one of the Caribbean islands, and he was nick named the Barbados Demon,'' but in reality he was born on the main land of. South America. As a young -ster he Set out to see the world. and got a job as d cabin boy on a ship sailing to Boston. That city looked good to him and he settled down there, working as a, piano mover DOT ter, and other odd jobs. Later he land ed a job in a gymnasium, and the lit tie fellow soon became popular with the boxers and was used as a human punching bag. Although only feet 1 1-2 inches in height, Joe was soon able to hold his own with much big ger men. and soon entered the ring. He fought his way to the weIter- weight championship, and successfully tackled a number of middles and heavies.

Peace hath higher tests of man hood than battle ever knew wrote Whittier. One of the men tested by both peace and war and not found wanting is Herbert c. Hoover, the able chairman of the commission for relief in Belgium. As was said of a famous Englishman, Hoover "does not advertise,'' but he has set the American a peg higher in the estima- tion of many Europeans than he was before the war began. His handling of relief funds and supplies has ellie ited warm admiration and praise. The flag below MT.

Of twenty-eight experi- mental ascents made in England only six reached an altitude of more than 2f, 120 feet, or four miles. ?. There is no record on the subject 3. Those who tried to raise the United states submarine at Honolulu harbor worked at depth of 2SS feet, Divers equipped with protecting apparatus work at depths from 12O to 15O feet. The pearl divers of Australia work at a depth Of 120 feet and the sponge fishers of the Mediterranean at 150 feet. The recov- cry of lost treasure by n professional diver at depth of 1S2 feet was consid- cred remarkable and has never been surpassed.
