eleventh EPISODE

Young Lund had managed to attach
himself securely to the automobile
that bore the captive, Peg through the
gates of the Tia Juana race track.
When the machine turned abruptly
into the broad highway, and started full
speed for the open country, Iund was
firmly fixed in his position on the run
ming board. Inside the tonneau Peg
Was engaging her captors in a lively
tusSle.
Lund's first move was to convince
the chauffeur that the wild ride was
not to continue indefinitely. The
young doctor moved along the run
ning-boarh until he was within strik-
ing distance. and then, ~steadying HIM
self with his left hand, he direct@d a
smashing blow against the drivers
head. The nan reeled in his seat, and
before he could in any measure re-
cover himself Lund finished him off
with q second punch.
Then throwing open the door of the
%tonneau, that Peg might have OPP
r~ortunity to escape, Lund cravIcd in
to the drivers scat and brought the
car 70 4 full stop. Peg was defending
herself with good result when Lund
again appeared at the door Of the
automobile and contributed his own
spirited efforts to the encounter.
Chockro and his confcGerates were
quickly overcome, and Peg was able
to jump from the machine to safety.
Without waiting for a final settle
ment Of the issue, young Lund fol-
track. Chockro and his gang held q
brief council, and then drove away
as in acceptance of their defeat. Peg
and Lund returned to the race track,
where they found their friends from
the circus eXcitedly discussing the
strange events of the afternoon.
Only a few moments had elapsed
during the time Peg had been asay
from the track on her adventure in
Chockro's automobile. She found her
jockey still sunefing from the effects
OF the assault the Hindu and his gang
had committed upon him, but the
doctor in charge of his cas- declared
that there would be no serious results.
The show was billed in San Diego
for q brief engagement. and the after
Moons holiday for the circus people
fraught with sensational events had
ended. Peg insisted that Jerry should
be taken to a hospital in the same
automobile that carried her back to
town.
Young Lund returned alone to the
hotel where his mother vas establish
ed in luxurious apartments. When he
was surprised to find the Hindu and
one Of his thugs waiting, presumably,
for Mrs. Lund. Lund east ceremony
aside and pounced Upon the two wor-
thies like Il panther.
Having many times before engaged
the Hindu in fistic battle Lund had
little to fear as a result Of the en-
counter. Swinging out with left and
tight the sturdy young man soon
brought the thugs to submission. Then
couplin. them together by linking his
arms under theirs, Lund said:
"If / ever catch you here again,
I'll hand you over to the police
With n quick twist of his arm Lund
vent the Hindu spinning toward the
door, and then landing a few blows
on Chockro's confederate. young Lund
soon had the two worthless on the run
and glad to get away.
At that moment Mrs. Lund entered
the room.
"Nho are those menu she asked,
in a voice that implied surprise.
''They were here in your apartment
when ! arrived said young Lund,
"and If you don't know them I'm sure
] don't know who they are"
With cold Indifference marking her
manner and tone OF voice, Mrs. Lund
declared che had no idea who the
intruders could be.
'sTell, there's one thing certain,
thcy'n net come back sail LNnd.
When iaf son had departed, Mrs.
Land hurried downstairs and passed
out of doors into the beautiful grounds
