All you've got to do is release them

start a little excitement, and there IS
no real chance Of anything serious
happening-so go to it."
Then Chockro, waiting until the
lions were released and driven back
toward the sleeper, left by the front
door Of the car and, leading his gang,
climbed to the top Of the cars and ran
along until they reached the space be-
tween the two sleepers. then they
dropped to the platform.
The lions entered the long aisle OF
the sleeper with the animal man driv-
ing them ahead Of him. Disturbed
from their sleep, the animals were not
especially active. but moved drowsily
along, at command, shopping into the
lower berths. or crouching down upon
the floor as If b%ewildered.
The wild shrieks Of a circus girl
started the sleeping performers, and
in an instant pandemonium reigned.
Evidently frightened by the outburst
Of noise and the clamor Of the shrek
ing women. the lions turned back and
huddled together in the end OF the car
where they had entered.
The women, sole occupants OF the
sleeper, ran shrieking the other way,
their cries rousing the men who oc-
cupied the car behind. Peg slept
heavier than the rest, fatigued by the
strain and excitement of the %eventful
night, and she was standing be-
wildered and alone, leaning against
her berth and gazing in perplexity at
the lions huddled together at the end
OF the aisle when young Lund rushed
past her.
Grabbing a blanket from n Of the
berths as he ran, Lund waved it in
front Of him as he dashed toward the
now thoroughly frightened animals.
The waving blanket seemed to carry
just enough terror to the hearts OF the
lions to decide them, as with one i'm
pulse. they turned and fed back to-
ward the car from which they had
been driven into the sleeper.
Peg, half dazcd. watched Lund as he
disappeared from the car, following

THIRD EPISODE

"This looks liks a hot trail" cried
Flip. the clown, when with his party
of circus performers he dashed up to
the storehouze OF the East India AMI
NAL company and stopped, on a ZEN
ture, upon seeing the automobile
standing by the roadside where Chock-
70 aad his fellow kidnapers had de-
serted It.
Everybody out. quick, and Wen
make a search" was Flip's order when
the circus machine had stopped. And
just as they began tumbling from the
tonneau there was the smash Of bro
ken glass to attract their attention to
q window set in the front wall close to
the ground.
Flip sped with all haste to the bro
ken window and. STOPPING down, was
able to discern In the moonlight that
poured into the cellar the pale faces
OF q man and woman.
"Come on. boys" he sang out as he
made a dive for the nearby door.
"She's in here. I'm dead sure 7 just
saw her face down there in the eel
lar"
One OF the men ran to the broken
window and looked to make sure for
himself that the excited Flip was not
mistaken. When he heard the snarls
and growls of the lions his mind
worked with speed that. no doubt,
saved young Lund and Peg from be-
ing, at least, badly clawed and in
jured. -

pocket a revolver be always carried

eral direction from whence came the

arms length inside the cellar.
The loud report made by the re-
volver being discharged in close con
fines had a magical effect upon the
beasts. They ceased their growls and
started to stink back through the low
tunnel which had let them into the
cellar.

And when the circus train finally got
IN motion, Chockro and his gang
climbed to the roofs Of the forward
cars, or hung on between them as the
engine began to move the outfit, with
gathering Roadway. out of the yard
and onto the main line.
The time that had interviewed served
the PROSTATE young Lund to good pur-
pose. Gradually recovering from the
blow that stunned him, he sat up and
looked about him in a dazed fashion.
The early rays of dawn. breaking
through the cracks in the box car,
quickly made clear to him where he
was.
He found short pieces OF board on
he floor Of the car, and little by lit
tie managed to pry open the door un-
I'll he made room to squeeze his body
through. CHANGING down the tracks
ne saw coming toward him the cir
u train, its engine putting hard and
gradually getting the long string Of
gayly painted cars under way.
Lund's mind worked like a flash.
The train had evidently stopped in
these yards. The last time he saw
Peg was in a place that could not be
very far distant. 1t was taking a long
chance, but he decided to do a des-
perate thing and board the train il he
could make it.
While these conclusions we're flash
ing through his mind. the engine
passed him. AS he stood in the door
1t was the distance of a short desper-
ate leap to the platforms of the cars
in the circus train. The box a stood
near the end OF a switch where It
joined the main line, thus narrowing
the distance from the car door in
which Lund stood to the platform of
the moving train.
Men in ordinary circumstances do
wild, foolish things on the spur Of the
moment, with even less motive than
Lund had for risking his life on the
chance of catching a handhold at the
end of his flying leap. AS the cars
moved past him they seemed to fas-
cinate the young athlete; he half
crouched watching with almost ami
NAL cunning, for the right opportunity
to leap.
He stood, swaying on tiptoes,
watching; and SO his last chance hove

Chockro shouted:
He's too much for us; quick, stand

his opponents.
Dodging under the stairs Chockro
pulled a lever.

A heavy trap door fell, precipitating
Lund into the waters of an old mill

Peg crouchiug in the corner, saw
Chockro and his men run quickly up
stairs. Bound, helpless, she realized
Lund's danger apd her brain whirled
with the madness Of despair.
For a moment there was stiffness
about her. She struggled to free her
self from the bonds that made her q

the door through which they had just
entered.
Chockro pulled the emergency cord,
and the train began slowing down. Be-
fore 1t had fully stopped, and taking q
desperate chance, the Hindoo gathered
Peg in his arms, as his pals trans
ferred their burden to him. and jumped
with her to the ground.
The kidnapers dashed into the
thick woods beside the track, and dis

with only the greatest effort. In the
brief time that had elapsed tho men

had lately fed.
Flip was In the lead and Just as
the circus men entered the car from

to young Lund, what have you done

and bind him."
Responding gladly to F1ip's COM
mand the circus men attacked young
Lund for the purpose OF overpowering
him. But the athletic young doctor
was too quick and too agile, to be cas-
lily subdued.
Young Lund struck out, right and
left with both fists.
Watching his chance he bowled
over n husky who had gotten be-

and everyone apparently fast asleep.
Chockro was busy with his own
plans at the other end OF the train.
With his men no entered one of the
forward cars and sneaked through the
train until he came to the first car
ahead Of the sleepers.
This car contained cages Of small
animals and one big den of lions that

more speed. running as fast as he
could across the open space to arrive
at the door OF the animal house after
Chockro and his gang had disappeared
within.

growled to himself, "but they have got
me to deal with, little IS they know
It."
oung Lund threw himself against
the outside door and forced it open.
The inner door, shattered when Lund
had knocked Chockro through It early
that same morning. was easily nego-

bounded downstairs and was instant

LAWS AGAINST Kissing.

On July Is, 1889, an act was passed
forbidding kissing owing to the pes
thence raging over England and
France. That is the only enactment
passed againt kissing in England; but
in several countries there are strin-
gent regulations against kissing in
public. The Bavarian state railways
forbid kissing on their railway system,
and the New York Central Railway
company now build in connection with
every new station kissing gallery"
or elevated platform, where passen-
gers are requested to take leave of
their friends, and kiss to the limit of
their emotion One of the French
railway companies some years ago
promulgated bylaw by which kiss
ing was added to the list of things
banned, but the physicians of Mil
waukee about the same time went a
step farther and prepared bill for
the absolute suppression of kissing on
the ground of the practice being a
menace to health.

Another Eau Problem,

Two much-bedecked porters were
given leave to go to the races. They
were standing at Fourth and Oak,
waiting for the car, when a casual
glance toward the church caused one
of the colored worthy's thoughts to
take a peculiar trend. Look here,
Jim," said one of them, there has
been a question in my mind for a long
time and l can't figure it out. l lahks
chicken, you lahks chicken, all our
ancestors lahked chicken, but where
did dat chicken come from? Dere
had to be an aig befo' dey could be a
chicken, an dey had to be chicken
to lay dat aig. If dere wasn't no
chicken on earth how did dat aig get
here, an if dere wasn't no aig on earth
how did dat chicken get here?"
James maintained that the chicken
was first and poured forth arguments
to that end. His friend became an
gered, a mixup followed and an Off
Ger became interested in the discus
sion. He heard both sides, gave nei-
Their a verdict, but decided to let the
judge have chance to hear such a
peculiar argument. And as they were
being escorted to the Jail one of the
colored men remarked:
Jim, believes dat fust chicken

TO PACK POULTRY
Specialists Urge Unusual Care in
Preparing Fowls.
Methods Recommended Which Are
Essential to Perfect Product at
Any Time, Especially When
Weather Is Unfavorable.

Poultry packers are urged by the
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture to give unus-
ual attention to preparing and pack
ing their birds for shipment, particu-
larly if the mild weather, which has
been widely prevalent this autumn,
continues. The poultry specialists
many sections have been very similar
to those which prevailed in the au-
tumn of 1913 and which, as poultry
shippers will remember, proved dis
astrous to all packers who did not
dress, chill and pack properly.
The specialists, therefore, recon-
mend the particular observance of the
following methods of handling dressed
poultry which are essential to a per-
feet product at any time and are of
vital Importance whenever weather
conditions are unfavorable:
Methods of Handling Dressed Poultry.
l. Keep the holding batteries for
your incoming stock clean, we'll aired,
and free from vermin, and see that the
chickens have plenty of fresh water
and plenty to eat.
2. Don't kill a chicken when the
crop is full of feed. Give the chicken
only water for "a hours before it is
killed. Food in the crop or in the In
testines of a dressed chicken causes
loss of flavor and hastens decay, which
more than offsets any gain from extra
weight.
8. Good bleeding is absolutely es
sential to a good appearance on the
market and retards decay. Circular
81, bureau of chemistry, department OF
agriculture, explains the best methods
of bleeding and loosening the feath
er muscles for dry picking.
Hang the chicken by both feet
while picking. Hanging by one leg
spoils the shape of the bird. Picking
