The crafty Mrs. Lund was to all ap-
pearances bubbling with politeness
and cOrdiality when the circus girl en-
tered the Lund home.

ATTEST smile. "Our boy has wanted
you to come before now, but Doctor
Lund would not consent to your leav-
ing the show. You are such an attrac-
ton, you know, that the doctor is
afraid it will hurt the business if you
were to be very long away"
Young Lund had sent the girl into
the house ahead of him, and he, con-
Sequently, did not hear the rather
strange greeting that the girl received.
But Peg noticed that in spite of her
evident effort to be agreeable, Mrs.
Lund could not refrain from sarcasm.
well, I'll not stay very long away
from the old show" said Peg. Doctor
Lund needn't be afraid of my hurting
his business-I'll so right back if you
say the word"
"Oh, no, my dear" said Mrs. Lund.
81 didn't mean anything like that. I
didn't think how disagreeable my
words would sound"
But at that moment young Doctor
Lund entered the room and the sub
jCct was quickly changed. After chat
ting with Mrs. Lund n few moments
the young folks left the room for a
stroll in the garden. and Mrs. Lund
walked to the window. Looking out
she saw young Lunds machine stand
ing where he had left ii, while near
il were ChOckro and two of his thugs,
evidently waiting orders from ''the
boss"
AIRS. Lund walked out to the ma
chine and said to the Hindu:
"She is here in the house. Doctor
Lund is away and the coast is clear.
You sneak up to the store room and
hide. I'll bring the girl there, and you
lock her in"
Then the woman returned to the re-
ception hall She had barely entered
the door when the maid ushered in
two policemen who had asked for Mrs.
Lund.

Moreover, good cushion of fat is a
great preventive of cold and a great
aid ia keeping the body at an even
temperature during changes of wealth
or. In a climate so variable as that
Of the United States. II is of great i'm
pOrtance to be able to resist these

Donkey Brinus Grief,

An apparently inoffensive donkey
has during the last few days been the
source of considerable friction in Yer
million, s. d., and as last resort the
city council held meeting and took
action.
The braying of the donkey kept
many people away at night, and after
they had lost 50 much sleep that they
lost their tempers those affected sent
petition TO the city council asking
that the donkey he eliminated.
The city council deliberated over the
matter for some time. and then took
a vote, which proved that the council
was evenly divided on the question as
10 whether the donkey was a nuisance
or not.
Mayor Lyons, to break the deadlock,
cast the deciding ballot which declared
the donkey Il public nuisance, and the
council now has demanded of the own,
er, c. ii. Grange, that the offending
donkey he exiled from Vermilion and
not permitted to step foot within the
city limits.

TENTH EPISODE

. When young Lund reached the street
Peg and her captOrs had disappeared.
but there were several of the circus peo-
pie who had witnessed the KIDNAPPING.
and they were able to tell young Lund
the general direction the Mexicans had
taken in their hurried flight Without
ceremony Lund BORROWED" a horse
that was standing saddled and hitched
to a post in one of the side streets. In
a twinkling he had mounted and was
speeding away in eager pursuit of the
fleeing Mexicans.
With his horse fresh and speedy,
Lund made good progress and steadily
gained on the fleeing MeXicanS. lie
noticed that the two riders in advance
seemed to be making all speed they
possibly could, regardless of the fact
that they were leaving their third COM
panion far in the rear. And as he ap-
preached nearer to the rider he was
.hasing, Lund made another discov-
Try that gave him great delight.
He could see the horse tagging be-
ind the others was burdened with
wo riders and one of them he felt
ertain was Peg, still captive in the
lands of the Mexican.
When Lund started in pursuit of
he brigands, several of the circus
,eople secured horses and, headed by
Flip, also took up the chase but Lund
had left them far behind. Looking
ver his shoulder Lund saw the cir
ns crowd following along, but he
made no attempt to wait for them to
HSsist in the rescue of the girl. He
Eged his mount to the last possible
<mGce of its speed and soon arrived
within hailing distance of the fleeing
Mexican.
Afraid to use his revolver for fear
Il injuring Peg, young Lund shouted
% the Mexican to halt, at the same
line urging his own horse to n posi-
ZION beside the animal bearing Peg
and her captor. There in n sharp

put the Mexican out of commission
xith swift blow. Peg released from
he strong grasp of the greaser,
uopped the horse that had been car
ying her, and with young Lund's aid,
quickly transferred herself to the
horse the American was riding.

Peg was standing. It was the one
chance that tempted her-and she
quickly resolved to attempt Il descent.
When she swung from the roof the
branch bent low. For an instant Pegs
heart almost ceased beating: her
weight bore down the strong branch
and then il Stopprd bending. Hang
ing by her hands Peg moved her body
. toward the tree, finding more So
cur" purchase and stronger support
the Ecarer she approached the trunk.
Safely i'm the tree she climbed down
its branches and was able from the
bottom limb to drop safely to the
ground
Certain it was that she could not
again enter the Lund home. The
NOR" she thought about it the more
myStificd she bccumc-for il had now
entered her mind that. Incredible as
it seemed To her, that young Doctor
Luud might have been Il party to en-
ticiH@ her To the Luud home.
Peg discovered young Luud'S auto
mobile where he had left il standing.
Without hcSitating q" considering for
IN instant. Peg ran To the machine
and WAS soon speeding away from the
Lund mansion.
Peg turned her car in the direction
of the town where the circus WAS
showing and made all speed. she
was bowling over the country roads
that led along the railroad track.
thinking over the unusual events of
the last few hours. when she was
thrilled by an unusual spectacle some
distance ahead.
She could not understand what was
the matter when she first noticed Il
train speeding along the tracks with
cral passenger coaches. Suddenly. as
she watched, the box ear seemed 10
slow down and the other cars of the
train pulled away from it. Running
on down grade the runaway car held
its momentum. but the train of pas
scngor coaches whiZzcd past her lcav-
ing the box car far behind.
As Peg sped along i'm the direction
of the lone box car she was terrified
to 50" the smoke of another train in
the distance. evidently following along
the same tracks on which the box car
was running wild. The girl made a
quick decision. then went ahead at
full speed until she had nearly reached
the wild car.
Then she jumped from her machine
and made Il dash for the railroad
tracks. She felt that if she could ap-
ply the breaks To the box car and
could in some way signal the oncom-
ing train that possible disaster might
be averted. This was her idea when
she made desperate attempt to grasp
the ladder that ran down the end of
the car as it approached her.
Climbing to the top of the car she
applied the breaks and then stood
facing the oncoming train, waving her
cap wildly around, as far above her
head as she could reach The signal
proved effective, for the train that
was approaching slowed down and
finally came 10 full stop.
Then there was Il surprise for Peg.
There was something familiar about
the cars behind the engine that she
had just stopped, and when she saw
the men piling down from the coaches
she realized that it was the circus
train. And one of the first people TO
reach the box car was Flip.
Peg sent young Doctor LundS car
back to town by one of the men with
the show. and boarding the circus
train was once more safe from i'm
mediate harm.
