his man to top speed. The chase led
straight to the edge OF town. and out
upon n country road, with young Lund
managing to keep Chockro's motor
well In sight.
During the chase Chockro and his
man had discovered that their job had
been bungled. They were likewise treat
ed to surprise in realizing that In
stead of the old clown. whom they
were ordered by Mrs. Lund to kidnap
and search for the much-desired let
ter, they had brought along the circus
girl.
Right ahead, In that clump of trees,
is the house." called Chockro. "Stop
there and let us out"
Arriving Mt the designated spot,
Chockro opened the door and ran into
the yard. There he met the gardener,
who was in charge.
81 heard your house was empty. Do
you want to rent it for a short timer"
said the Hindu. This remark was the
signal Mrs. Lund had previously ar
ranged, and in response the gardener,
| literally bribed for knowing and see
ing nothing. assured Chockro that the
coast was clear.
| They carried Peg into the house, an
entirely empty place, with two rooms
on the ground floor. The girl Co.'S
tuned in F'lip's clown suit was thrown
into the corner of one of the rooms
and momentarily left there by her cap
/ tors. When Chockro and his man
/ looked from the window in the next
room their fears were realized, for
they saw young Lund run through the
gate and come toward the house.
1--WE must get away with the girl
right now" said Chockro to his con-
federate. "Then we can fix Lund, now
that we have him out here. away from
any help" And suiting the action to
/ the word, the men again entered the
room where Peg had been thrown.
"We1l get you this time, young
lady" said the Hindu, as he made a
dive for the girl. BY a quick move
Peg eluded him, and screaming at the
! top of her voice, made an attempt to
reach a window, hoping to thus es-
cape. But the Hindu and his man
were prepared for the move, and head
ed her Off.
Just at that instant crash Of glass
in the next room warned the conspira-
tors of trouble In another direction.

times during the performance, and be
tween acts Peg went to Flip's dressing
room to get careful instructions from
him as to what were the tricks that
were next to be performed.
Peg had made several calls on Flip
for these instructions and was back
again for another rehearsal" when
she discovered the old clown was not
in his dressing tent to meet her.
Thinking that he had been momentari-
ly delayed, Peg started to leave the
tent in search of her daddy, when, to
her dismay, she was confronted by
Chockro and one of his men.
Without uttering a word and acting
as with one impulse, the two rufiians
quickly lifted the supposed clown bod
lily in their strong grasp and carried
him" to the opposite end of the dress
Ing tent, where they had previously
slit the canvas to permit them to make
a speedy exit. Chockro had placed
gag in Pegs mouth, effectually pre-
venting her outcrles.
Their automobile was standing near,
with It's engine running, and into The
waiting machine Peg was thrown. But
despite the fact that they were off in
a twinkling, the ruffians had not made
'clean getaway"
One of Pegs girl companions had
entered the dressing tent just as the
Hindu and his man were disappearing
with their captive. This girl sounded
an alarm that reused the circus peo-
pie to action.
Young Doctor Lund heard the COM
motion, and learning the cause, made
haste to follow. The Hindu had
gained a good start, meanwhile, and
by the time young Lund had secured
a machine In which to pursue the kid
napers, Chockro had covered copsider-
able ground.
Promising the driver of the automo-
bile he had rented rich reward II he
would overtake the Hindu. Lund urged

up. suddenly she turned and said:
I'm do your act. Then he can't fire
you. II your foot is not well tomorrow
afternoon. III make up like you and
wear your toys" said the girl.
When the Hindu reported TO Mrs.
Lund, at her hotel that evening, the
woman was immensely pleased with
the information that the letter was In
Flip's possession. And to secure the
important document, Mn. Lund and
the Hindu perfected bold plan. Civ
Ing Chockro the necessary instruc-
lions, Mrs. Lund directed him to work
out the preliminary details before
show-time the next afternoon.
Chockro and one Of his men, accord
ingly, drove to the circus grounds the
next day in rented automobile. The
driver had been bribed and instructed,
and leaving the machine in a some
what secluded spot near the tents,
Chockro and his men proceeded to put
the woman's plan into execution.
Mrs. Lund was on hand to give her
hirelings final instructions. Sneaking
up to the entrance of the dressing tent,
Mrs. Lund and Chockro saw Flip sit
ting on his trunk, evidently waiting to
begin preparations for the afternoon
show.
Flip was In despair when Peg en-
tered his dressing room.
IL guess Wen be forced to try your
scheme" said Flip, in response to the
girls inquiries. my foot is still in
such bad shape that l can't stand
on 1t, and I've had to send one of the
boys downtown to buy me crutch."
"Well, I've seen your act SO many
times, daddy, dear" said Peg, that
know every trick, and If you'll show
me how to make up my face, I'll go on
in your place, and I'll bet the manager
won't know the difference"
The girl went through with every
trick Flip was accustomed to do and
to every outward appearance 1t was
the old clown himself who was con-
vulsing the audience with laughter by
his drolleries and comical antics.
Even the few members Of the COM
pany who were informed of the sub
stitution could not detect any discrep-
ancies in the girls performance.
The program required that the
clowns should appear several different

TWELFTH EPISODE

Peg and young DR.. Lund were in
stern Of the anchored steamer with
only two iron Delaying pins to defend
themselves against the onrushing river
pirates, drunk and half-crazed because
their plans had been frustrated by the
timely arrival of Lund and Jerry, the
jockey, to the defense Of Peg.
When the sailors had knocked Jerry
down, at the time they made their rush
from the bow of the steamer they
had in their eagerness to assail Lund
and Peg neglected to dispose of
Jerry's revolver. This oversight tenn
pOrarily saved the situation. Jerry
sooD gained his feet, once the mob
OF sailors had swept over him, and re-
covering his revolver from the SOUP
pers, made a quick dash aft.
Hands up, everyone of your was
Jerry's triumphant command when he
reached the stern Of the boat.
Sup with them, and line yourselves
against the rail-" was the second order
And the drunken sailors obeyed with
alacrity, as they caught the CLEAN of
Jerry's gun.
We'll march them back to the bow
OF the boat" said Jerry to Lund. And
suiting the action to the word the
three captives were now masters of
the situation as they drove the sailors
forward.
The motor boat which had brought
Lund and Jerry to Pegs rescue was
drifting farther away every moment
their only hope was in subduing the
rutiians, and retaining the mastery
Jerry made the sailors climb one by
one to the half-deck at the very bows
and then while T.und and Peg followed
them, the jockey held the balance OF
command with the revolver. This adj
vantage was an asset until the sailors
discovered, by strategy, that the pistol
was no longer weapon to be feared
The capstan and chains occupied the
greater part of the halfdeck on which
the drunken sailors were held under
temporary control. One of the crafty
pirates crept along the maze of chains
and ropes, using the capstan as shield
to hide his movements. There were
too many of the ruffians for Jerry to
watch all their movements and this
man consequently succeeded in his pur-
pose.
When he had gained the edge of the
overhanging deck, the sailor jumped

action, and taking hasty aim the

Young Lund had sent an empty box
crashing through window when he
heard Pegs screams, and in twink
ling had followed through the opening
made in the shattered glass and frame.
Lund grabbed the knob of the door
leading into the room adjoining the
one he had so unceremoniously en-
tered. Turning the knob and pressing
against the door with his shoulder,
Lund effected an entrance-but was
knocked fiat by sudden blow from the
fist of Chockro's burly companion.
Through the opened door Peg dart
ed and in all haste vaulted out of the
open window, landing safely on the
ground only a few feet below. Then
the girl ran for her life into the low
bushes that surrounded the house, and
was lost TO view.
Leaving his pal to guard young
Lund, the Hindu ran to the window
from which Peg had escaped and
looked out. His hurried glance fell
upon a figure in white, moving toward
the gate, and taking quick aim, Chock-
70 fired from his hastily drawn re-
volver
Too late, the Hindu discovered his
blunder, for in place of shooting the
girl, whom he supposed the figure in
white to be. ChocRro had shot down
the gardener who had been bribed to
aid their conspiracy.
The report of the shot brought
Chockro's pal from the next room,
where he had been guarding the half
stunned victim of his own assault.
The now-frightened Hindu cried:
Il thought it was the girl, but I've
shot the gardener. We will have to tie
Lund up and make getaway"
Young Lund. experienced in escap-
ing from thongs that bound him, was
better pleased to have the thugs de-
part than he would have been to keep
the issue confined at close quarters.

girl had fallen to terrible death,
shouted to his pal:
Come on and get away from here.

news for the boss that will mean a
bunch of coin for u.s." But as they
ran they saw young Lund approaching
across the open space, at the border
of the woods.
Lets tackle him." said Chockro,
coming to full stop.
''Do 1t alone, II you like" was the
answer that came from the other
crook as he sped along.
Young Lund ran toward the top of
the cliff. Going to his hands and
knees, when within a few feet of the

SHOULD FOR
GET DIFFERENCES.

OF course some little i'll feeling was
engendered at the primary election.
No contest occurs without leaving
feeling of bitterness in spots. Now
that the candidates have been nomi-
mated the Republicans of the county
and state should forget their little
differences. The differences at the
primary election were only differences
of judgment. All the candidates were
Republicans, and we were all striving
for the same ends-the ultimate sue
cess of the Republican ticket.
The conditions in the state are most
favorable for Republican success. The
Alexander administration must be de-
tended throughout the campaign, and
the governor is vulnerable at humid
red points. His ill-advised and reck-
less promises made two years ago
were not fulfilled. The people today
know Mr.. Alexander and they will not
be fooled again. The entire state
ticket will go through without trouble.
In nation the outlook is just as
bright. Mr.. Hughes is making won
derful campaign. Already assisting
him are former Presidents Roosevelt
and Taft and the great Republican
and Progressive leaders of four years
ago. Nationally the Republican party
is reunited and in a position to win
out all along the line. The last battle
cry of the administration has dwindled
to the SWIVEL. "He kept us out of war. .
When, where and how President Will
son kept us out of war is not given
He certainly did not keep us out OF
war with Mexico and we never had a
chance of getting into war elsewhere.
The great compromise Mr.. Wilson
made when he again proved himself
"too proud to fight" has shown the
president to be little more than a
politician, and the reaction has al
ready set in. The failure of the
economic policies of the administra-
ton are known of all men and are best
illustrated by the present "war taxes
notwithstanding the fact that "he kept
us out of war"
Locally everything looks favorable
for Republican success. The county
is normally Republican and will be
found in line in November with an
old time Republican majority.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1916-09-08

of the presidents Mexican policy.
Ignoring the fact that what Mr.. Taft
did has been clearly set out by ex-
Secretary of State Knox, Mr.. Baker
told his Waterville audience:
President Taft declined to recog-
nize the dissolute monster (Huerta)
Secretary of State Knox withheld the
approval of the United States from
that sort of treachery. President Will
son withheld recognition from Huerta,
and the long and troubled course OF
our dealings with Mexico has been,
in part at least, because both President
Taft and President Wilson believed
that nation loving justice-as | hope
we love it-could not extend its favor
to this medieval despot."
What Mr.. Taft was doing in the
twelve days in which he had to act
on Huerta before President Wilson
took office is told in the succincr
statement of the same situation
made Mr.. Knox in Pittsburgh this
year:
What Mr.. Wilson inherited from
Mr.. Taft was an outstanding un-
answered diplomatic request to the
de facto government at Mexico City
for definite assurances for the security
of American rights and the adjustment,
of American claims as a preliminary
to the confederation of the question OF
recognition. What Mr.. Wilson did
was to repudiate the policy of his pre-
decessor, in this as in all other things
and create q situation that made the
adjustment of American rights i'm
possible"
But why, when the partisans of the
administration tell you they are proud
of the Wilson policy" do they try tc
make out that it is merely the policy
of President Taft logically continued
by his innocent successor and imitato1
in the White House? And what is tc
be thought Of the probity of cabinet
members like Mr.. Baker, who, for q
glib partisan advantage, makes suct
statements when all the documents If
the case, aside from ex-Presiden
Iaft's recent utterances, put him ou
of court?

MR.. GRIFFITHS JIPPED BY
DEMOCRATS

Mr.. H. A. Griffiths is entitled to feel
sore at his Democratic friends of
Canyon county. He was tipped by the
organization. He was lead to the
slaughter like lamb. He was played
for sucker and in his innocence or
guile proved to be one. He trusted
the Democrats of Caldwell and they
handed him a package.
The Tribune offers Mr.. Griffiths its
sympathy. We know exactly how he
feels. Base betrayal by ones friends
is worse than ambush by one enemies.
However he must swallow the
humiliation. Partisanshlp requires that
he submit with as good grace as he
can. He can show his true, blue
Democracy by helping his opponent.
We believe that he will do that very
thing.
