and his pal through the portieres that
separated the parlor from the music
room, making haste to tightly draw
the curtains.
Greeting his mother af~fecttonately,
the young mans first question was:
"How is father today? Is he show
ing my signs Of improvements"
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 l shall
come to him in q few moments"
Young Lund watched his mother as
she left the room. He was mystifed
because Of her strange conduct, and
gradually the suspicion OF her I'M
worthiness was dawning upon him.
For a moment he stood in deep
thought, clearly troubled and per-
picked. Suddenly a~rousing himself,
he entered the music room and faced
the two men.
Il told you once before, you greaser,
to stay away from here. Now get out,
and do it quickly" AS he stepped
aside to give the two men a chance to
pass through the door, young Lund
could not resist the impulse to make
a pass at the Hindu. His fist swung
against the back Of Chockro's head
and gave impetus to his movement.
Lund made no 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-
1.-THE double box will do 1t, and she
will have the letter. Get my son. into
the storeroom and I will detain him
here. And don't make any more noise
about it than you can help. My hus-

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

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.

Mrs. Lund also wants this letter. Many
exciting and hazardous attacks n events
t~ranspire. Doctor Lund's son who is fol-
lowing Peg to induce her to become his
wife, rescues girl from many perilous
straits. In the preceding episode Peg and
u Lund have escaped from peril by
jumping into the water from a boat upon
which they are marooned. They are res
cued by a passing motorboat n brought
safely to shore. When the circus perfor-
nance Is again under a Flip. because

Removing this cover, the girl called
into the chimney. She waited for an
answer, and then shouted again and
again. Finally she dropped a book
through the vent hole, and it 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 it closely, but if l have q chance,
I'll get the key and drop it down to
you. Keep close watch; I'll work as
fast as l cam"
It took time for the girl to accom-
plish her purpose. Finally, after re-
a moment Mrs. Lund had left the door
unguarded.
She made a hurried dash to reach
the door, but Mrs. Lund appeared
from a 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 it from the
lock.
What are you doing here!' Mrs.
Lund demanded angrily.
"Oh. madam, I'm SO faint! - the girl
exclaimed.
She put her right arm over her face
with a gesture of bewilderment, leaned
against the jamb of the door and,
from the lock With her left hand.
"Well, If you are faint or sick, your
room is the place for you, not spying
around here" was Mrs. Lund's retort.
The girl, having accomplished 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!'
When the key struck the bricks OF

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 overcame the obstruction,
and when Lund forced his way
through the door he was dumbfounded
to find that his mother had been keep
ing him a prisoner.
Without saying a word he fed 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
it was we'll into the evening before

selves no match for Lund on even
terms. but when Chockro found an op-
portunity to draw his revolver, q blow
from the butt Of the gun" upon
Lund's head soon settled the battle.
Carrying him between them, the two
thugs transferred Lund to the store
room to which Mrs. Lund had previ-
ously directed them.
Depositing their burden on the floor,
the two crooks met the fiendish wom-
an ut the door as they were leaving
the stOreroom. Mrs. Lund turned the
key In the lock and said to Chockro:
Hurry on to the show. I will
watch him closely, and see that he
does not get away" And the inhuman
creature stood with her back against
the door as the men hurriedly left the
house.
Mrs. Lund stood for several mo-
ments leaning against the door. She
listened for some sound from within
the room, until, evidently convinced
that her prisoner was thoroughly sub
dued, she made her way upstairs.
From her hiding place behind the
chair everything that had tranepired
was seen by the maid. She saw Chock-
70 and his n carry young Lund
downstairs, and q moment lateJ heard
them pass from the house by way Of
the front door.
The girl hurried downstairs, with
the purpose OF trying to communicate
in some way with young Lund. but she
discovered Mrs. Lund had returned to
the door and was intently listening.
Unobserved. the maid retreatcd, and
tried another method OF reaching the
prisoner.
She remembered that the chimney
running from cellar to roof had at It's
base a fireplace In the rcoln where
young Lund was confined. and the girl
ut once began a search for q conIesA-
ton with this chimney in some Of
the u,.pr rooms. Her So. WAS re-

front OF the circus lot and leaped from
the car.
Chockro's double-box clown act was
indeed one Of the most amazing per-
formances ever given with a circus.
Six Of Chockro's burly henchmen
constituted his troupe Of Clowns"
When they entered the ring, they were
a %grotesque lot, %variously made up to
represent policemen and fremen.
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 a man in n box, shut
down the cover and, apparently, trans
fer the same man to the other box.
without being caught at the trick. 1t
vas my~stifying, and the Hindu's ma
tive cleverness brought to bear a de-
gree Of experiences to make the trick
work smoothly and we'll.
Again the man was made to appear
and disappear, from n box to the
other. At a moment when the audience
was ~convulsed with the drolleries OF
the Clowns" one Of Chockro's gang
entered the ring, bearing in his arms
q woman, her head covered with q
cloth and her arms and legs flying
around rs II resisting her captor.
The audience enjoyed the incident
as great fun, and the circus perform
ers also looked on in keen professional
interest. Old Flip was n in the
crowd who looked with suspicion on
the whole proceedings, and when the
woman vas rushed into the ring the
old clown raised q cry Of alarm.
He ran toward the bunch Of
clowns when the wona was being
hnrriedly forced into the wooden case.
and as the cloth fell from the girls
head, Flip caught a glimpse OF Pegs
face before the cover to the box was
slammed down.
While Film WIS shouting his alarm,
