Wednesday, Nov. Is, has been set as
the date for the dedication Of the new
wing Of the Deaconess hospital, which
will be completed by that time. The
formal program for the event has not
as vet been prepared, but it is probable
that one of the chief heads of the
be here to deliver the principal ad-
dress.
When completed the new addition
which is being built on the east side
of the hospital, will give an added
capacity Of eight more private rooms,
a dining room for the sisters. one for
the nurses and many other Improve
ments.
New Wing Adds Convenience.
The first floor of the new addition
comprises the two dining rooms. one
for the sisters, and one for the nurses.
Heretofore the nurses have not boarded
in the hospital, because Of lack of
room. On the second and third floors
are eight private rooms four on each
floor. An added convenience is large
sun parlor on both these floors, facing
the south. These will be used ex-
clusively by the patients in the four
rooms on each floor
Other conveniences in the new addi-
ton will include diet kitchen on the
third floor, special bath room for
obstetrical cases, and the limiting the
use of the entire second and third
floors to eight patients. These new
rooms will be especially desirable be-
cause the large sunny porches facing
the south will be used by only four
patients at a time
New Entrance Cut Out.
A new entrance has just been cut
thru the addition leading from what
was formerly the hospital office to the
dining rooms on the first floor OF the
new part. The front room Of the old
portion of the building is now in use
as the office altho entrance must still
be made by the Third avenue door.
AS soon as the front entrance Is COM
pleted, however, all visitors will enter
the hospital on East Main street, OPP
postte the Pilgrim, while the Third
avenue entrance will be used only for
ambulance patients and those coming
in automobiles. The room that has
served as the office will be used as
surgical dressing room. s4
The work of refacing the front Of
the old part Of the building, so that
it will conform to the newer portion,
and the remodeling Of the sisters
quarters, will not be completed until
later in the fall. When this is finished,
however, room will be available for
at least four or five more patients in
case Of emergency, in addition to i'm
proved quarters for the sisters.

ter. Wednesday evening, however,
Mrs Jerome noticed that the little fell

/. THIRTEENTH EPISODE

In the moment Of Peg and young
Lund's greatest peril, events of tre-
mendous Importance happened with al
most lightning speed. The rope on
which Lund had let himself down the
face of the cliff formed the only means
whereby he had any hope of rescuing
Peg. The girl lay at his feet, stunned
by her fall from the top of the preci-
lpice.
by grasplng the branches Of small
shrubs that grew from crevices In the
cliff, Peg had managed to impede the
,dlrectness of her fnll She clutched
with desperation at every twig or
branch that her hands could reach. But
her life was actually saved by mass
of rock that projected from the face
of the cliff.
This formation provided landing
place for Peg as she slid, tumbled and
rolled down the abrupt incline.
Here Lnnd found her, when he had
let himself down hand over hand by
the strong rope. But he had barely
landed on the projecting rock, when,
as he instinctiyely looked upward, he
saw the leerlng face of Chockro, black
with hate and malice. as the Hindu
gloated in his momentary triumph.
But before the william had opportu-
nifty to draw his knife across the
strands of rope which secured a
means OF escape for young Lund and
Peg from their perilous position, a
shout from the fast approaching circus
people caused the villain to halt In his
purpose. In the second that elapsed
while Chockro and his man looked up
to observe the cause of the commotlon,
the lives of the circus girl and her
sweetheart were saved.
"Come ON. quick r. said Chockro to
his henchman. eve must run for our
lives or they will throw us over the
cliff"
The circus people lost no time in de-
ilvering Peg and young Lund from
their perilous plight
Lund securely fastened the free end
of the rope around Pegs body and
with strong pull by eager hands she
was soon landed safely. Then the rope
was again thrown over the edge OF the
elm and Lund was, In like manner,
hauled to the top of the preclpice.
Chockro and his man. when far into
the woods and safe from pursuit,
slowed down and proceeded leisurely
on their way to Mrs. Lund's. Because
Of her husbands failing health, and

warded in finding q vent into which {
stovepipe might be inserted, covered
with wall paper and entering the chin
ney few feet from the floor.
/ Removing this cover, the girl called
into the chimney. She waited for ar
answer, and then shouted again and
again. Finally she dropped a book
through the vent hole, and 1t landed In
| the fireplace of the room where Lund
was confined. Again she called, and
| this time an answer came from below
your mother is watching by the
door," said the maid. "She is guard
Ing 1t closely, but if L have chance
I'll get the key and drop it down. to
you. Keep close watch; I'll work as
| fast as cam"
1t took time for the girl to accom-
plish her purpose. Finally, after re
peated attempts, the maid discovered
moment Mrs. Lund had left the door
unguarded.
She made hurried dash. to reach
the door, but Mrs.. Iund appeared
from room across the hall, and the
two women arrived simultaneously at
the door leading to, Lund's temporary
prison. The maid stopped directly In
front of the key, but had no time to
either turn it or wrench 1T from the
lock.
What are you, doing here?" Mrs.
Lund demanded angrily.
ooh, madam, Pm so faint!" the girl
exclaimed.
She put her right arm over her, face
with gesture of bewilderment, leaned
against the jamb of the door and,
reaching behind her, slipped the key
from the lock with her left hand.
swell, If you are faint or sick, your
room is the place for you, not spying
around here" was Mrs. Lund's4 retort.
The girl, having accomplishments her pur-
pose, fled upstairs with all speed and
dropped the key down the chimney.
quick Quick !" she fairly
screamed. "Your mothers automobile
Is outside. Run for It'll"
When the key struck the bricks of
the fireplace, Lund was eagerly wait
ing for it. Turning the key in the
the lock, he felt the door being held
against him.
His strong shoulder against the pan
els quickly oyercame the obstruction,
and when Lund forced his way
through the door he was dumbfounded
to find that his mother had been keep
ing him prisoner.
Without saying word he fled up
stairs, out of the front door, and after
starting the engine, vaulted into his
mothers machine. He darted away in
the direction of the circus grounds.
The entire afternoon had been con-
sumed by the maid in her efforts to
free him. Twilight had passed, and
1t was well into the evening before
young Lund stopped his machine in

front of the circus lot and leapedl from
the car.
Chockro's double-box clown act was
indeed one of the most amazing per-
formances ever given with circus,
Six of Chockro's burly henchmen
constituted his troupe of clowns"
When they entered the ring, they were
grotesque lot, variously made up to
represent policemen and firemen.
The Hindu manipulated matters so
that his outfit worked in the ring. not
far from an exit to the back of the
lot. In their performance the clowns"
would put man in one box, shut
down the cover and, apparently, trans
fer the same man to the other box
without being caught at the trick. 1t
was mystifying, and the Hindu's ma
tive cleverness brought to bear a de-
gree of expertness to make the trick
work smoothly and we'll.
Again the man was made to appear
and disappear, from one box to the
other. At moment when the audience
was convulsed with the drolleries of
the Clowns" one of Chockro's gang
entered the ring, bearing in his arms
a woman, her head covered with a
cloth and her arms and legs flying
around as if resisting her captor.
The audience enjoyed the incident
as great fun, and the circus perform
ers also hooked on in keen professional
interest. Old Flip was one in the
crowd who looked with suspicion on
the whole proceedings, and when the
woman was rushed into the ring the
old clown raised cry of alarm.
He ran toward the bunch of
Clowns when the woman was being
hurriedly forced into the wooden case,
and as the cloth fell from the girls
head, Flip caught glimpse Of Pegs
face before the cover to the box was
slammed down.
While Flip was shouting his alarm,

enter the room. she hustled the Hindu
and his pal through the portieres that
separated the parlor from the music
room, making haste to tightly draw
the curtains.
Greeting his mother affectionately,
the young mans first question was:
How is father today? Is he show
Ing any signs of Improvement
I'm afraid not" said Mrs. Lund.
He Is growing weaker and complains
more of his heart"
Run up and tell him 1 am here,''
said the young man. "And say shall
come to him in few moments"
Young Lund watched his mother as
she left the room. He was mystified
because Of her strange conduct, and
gradually the suspicion of her un-
worthiness was dawning upon him.
For q moment he stood In deep
thought, clearly troubled and per-
picked. Suddenly arousing himself,
he entered the music room and faced
the two men.
i told you once before, you greaser,
to stay away from here. Now get out,
and do 1t quickly" As he stepped
aside to give the two men a chance to
pass through the door, young Luud
could not resist the impulse to make
pass at the Hindu. His fist swung
against the back of Chockros head
and gave impetus to his movement.
Lund made no move to follow the
thugs, but, instead, closed the por-
there's carefully and sat down In a
chair to quietly await developments.
He heard his mother enter the next
room and talk to her henchmen in
tones so low that only a mumbling
sound reached his ears.
go back to the circus and get the
girl away" said Mrs. Lund to Chock-
70 In a voice little above O whisper.
THE double box will do it, and she
will have the letter. Get my son into
the storeroom and / will detain him
here. And don't make any more noise
about II than you can help. My hus-
band is very H."
The maid, hidden behind an i'm
AiiNhoS lCahtlCA tAidlE tlldL SbDOu III Lle
corner of the room, overheard the
plan.
Determined to see the plan work
out, and to help young Lund in any
way she could, the girl remained hid
den after Mrs. Lund again left Chock-
70 and his man alone in the parlor.
The thugs Immediately turned their
attention to young Lund, making a
rush through the curtains, into the
music room.
Lund was ready for them, and met
blow for blow, as they both set upon
him In an effort to knock him out.
The struggle was terrific, but brief,
Lund working against odds fast and
expertly.
The two men again proved them
