When the Hindu reported to Mrs.
Lund, at her hotel that evening, the
woman was immensely pleased with
n information that the letter was in
Flip's possession. And to secure the
important document. Mrs. Lund and
the Hindu perfected a 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
fngly, drove to the circus grounds the
next day in q rented automobile. The
driver had been bribcd and instructed,
and leaving the machine in a some
what secluded spot near the tents,
thockro and his men proceeded to put
the woman's plan into execution.
Mrs. Lund was on hand to give her
hirelings final instructions. Snealsing
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.

TWELFTH EPISODE

Peg and Young DR.. Lund were in
nerilous straights, marooned at the
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 eagcrness to assail Lund
and Peg neglected to dispose OF
Jerry's revolver. This oversight tenn
porarily saved the situation. Jerry
soop gained his feet, once the mob
covering his revolver from the Soup
pers. made 8 quick dash aft.
Hands up, everyone Of you!" was
Jerry's triumphant command when he
reached the stern Of the boat.
Cup 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.
"Nell march them back to the bow
OF the boat" said Jerry to Lund. And
suitiag 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
rufiians, and retaining the mastery.
Jerry made the sailors climb one by
one to the half-deck at the very bows.
and Their while LunG 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 a weapon to be feared.
The capstan and chains occupied the
greater part OF the half-deck on which
the drunken nnilors were held under
temporary control. One Of the crafty
pirates crent along the maze of chains
and ropes. using the capStan as q shield
to hide his movements. There were
too many Of the ruhians 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.
Jerry's attention was attracted by his
action. md taking hasty aim the

There was q shout of Joy from the

that Jerry's gun was useless, and the

CITY COMMITTEE on
PREFERENTIAL PLANS
To Receive Report From snb-Cenarait-
tee on Election Tuesday
Might.

The City Democratic Committee will
meet tomorrow night to receive re-
port from the plans committee for the
conduct of the April primary.
At the request of City Council, the
City Committee will. in addition to the
regular primary for Councilmen and
Mayor. endeavor' to secure the prefer
ence OF the people for a member of the
Administrative Board for the vacancy
now existing in that body through the
death Of Robert Whittet, Jr.
The committee will probably provide
separate tickets, containing the names
of the candidates for the vacancy. To
date there have been three announce
ments--W. p. Knowles, Graham B. Hob
son and George Med, Blake.
Prospective candidates have until
Thursday at noon to place their names
In the hands OF the secretary of the
committee, Walter D. Duke.
After the preferential vote of the
people has been taken. the successful
candidate will be elected by City Coun-
Gil to nll the vacancy. The unexpired
term ends on December 81.
The primary of August may not
be necessary. 1t liz generally believed
the man selected by the people on April
4. to be elected by Council for the un-
expired term, will have no opposition
at the August election, although this
inference may not prove necessarily
correct.
There Is an impression in some cir
cles that Notwithstanding the result OF
the preferential primary, other candi-
dates will loom up for nomination ut
the August primary. The size of the
preferential vote at the April primary
will to a large extent have some i'm
preston on the minds of the voters
and politicians
