SYNOPSIS.

La Belle La Sieur. animal queen, dies
after giving birth to a baby. Doctor Lund,
owner OF circus, La Bellies husband re-
fuses to recognize child La Belle in
trusts baby to Flip, a clown, who rears
Peg as circus rider. Later Doctor Lund' $
second wife determines Peg shall not
share Lunds r,ilions and sends Hindu
servant to follow circus and dispose of
girl Doctor Lund sends thugs to get from
Flip letter that proves Pegs parentage.
Mrs. Lund also wants this letter. Many
exciting and hazardous attacks and events
transpire. Doctor Lunds son who is fol-
lowing Peg to induce her to become his
wife, rescues the girl from many perilous
straits. In the preceding episode young
Lund and Peg save themselves by swim
ming from the waters of the river into
which they have jumped to escape death
when an engine telescopes a freight car
In which they have been held prisoner.
The Hindu and his gang follow them from
the beach and corner them In Toulouse
that has been erected on a long pier. Here
several exciting encounters occur and
young Lund and Peg are made prisoners
Finally Lund escapes by jumping through
. window, but he is hit by bullets fired
from the revolver of one of his captors
lie manages to sustain himself in the wa
ter until washed upon the beach by the
waves Peg Is bound to a stanchion in the
TOULOUSE and left alone. Rats climb to
the shelf where there is box of matches
knock them down and the matches ignite
setting fire to the Toulouse.

terry there was no one who could say
that they had even entered the car.
The girls who dressed with Peg only
knew that she had started for the rail-
road yards to see the pony and find
out how badly 1t was Injured.
1t was late in the evening when the
show trains were ready to start. Flip
was the last to enter the performers
sleeper. He hoped until the very last
moment the trains pulled out, that
Peg would appear and start with the
rest of the company for Mexico
Everybody was interested and curl
GUS when the circus train crossed the
bridge where the collision had wrecked
the car. But once the show was rat
Ting along the rails, It's journey well
begun, the incidents of the preced-
Ing days were forgotten by everyone
save Flip.
There was no sleep for the old
clown that night, and he was awake
and worrying about his little girl when
the circus trains crossed the border
into Mexico just at break of day. The
old clown shook his head and NUT
tered, disconsolately, to himself.
II dread this Mexican trip. There's
something tells me these greasers are
going to give US trouble. / wonder
why the governor couldn't find
enough towns in the United States to
keep this show going for the rest of
the season."
And there was good reason for Flip
and everybody with the show to be
apprehensive. For weeks the papers
had been filled with exciting rumors
of trouble across the Mexican frontier.
Only In the past few days it had been
announced that government soldiers
were being held in readiness for sud-
den expeditions across the border.
The decision to send the show into
Mexico had been reached when the
signs of discord were not so preva-
lent; when only a few among the
higher officials had an inkling of how
serious the situation might eventually
become. And, furthermore. the old
route having been Cancelled when the
circus burned, there was nothing to
do but proceed with the Mexican trip
definitely decided upon to finish the
season.
Flip, in his long circus experience,
had several times toured Mexico, a
country where, even under the most
favorable conditions, 1t is not always
pleasant for an American TO be. 9th
ers with the show, who had not been

across the border. were inclined to
make light OF Flip's apprehensive re-
marks when the Mexican trip was the
subject OF conversation among the per-
formers.
And so II was not surprising to Flip
when the show began unloading for
its opening performance across the
border TO observe the unfriendly at
titude of many of the natives, or to
note their lowering Chances and open
gestures Of hatred for the American
circus people.
"Aebby you are right about these
greaSerS," said enc Of the clowns when
they had assembled in their dressing
tent TO unpack their wardrobe. "rve
been watching these Spaniards and
they don't look very happy because
the big show has come their way"
"Well, | don't want TO say anything
about having told you So hut | do
advise you to be mighty careful what
you do and say on this trip down
| here said Flip. And then, as ever,
reverting TO the troubles on his mind,
the old clown added: I'm half glad
Peg Isn't along-but j do wish knew
where she really was"
There now, old man." was the
CHEEKY call from a half dozen of the
clowns az in one voice; quit your
worrying. She's ali right and will
surprise you again some day soon"
But Flip was not so easily comfort
ed. We've got three mortal days and
nights to spend right here. and then
more towns like 1t for weeks to come.
And II Peg catches up with the show
she'll always be In danger from these
half-clvilized greasers."
All through the dressing tents and
around the lot everybody with the
show finally became infected with the
spirit of apprehension that Flip had
inspired by his remarks, furthered by
the noticeable attitude OF the natives
toward the Americans There was to
be only show at night. on the first
day, for the working men were oper-

other leap into the water Only a
few hours before she had jumped into
the same stream from the top of a
fir eight car. She shot deep into the wa
ter, and came up several feet away.
Her skill as swimmer, again tested,
took her toward the shore with the
first few strokes.
And then she was led to realize how
narrowly she had escaped from the
burning shack. AS she swan near
the surface, she was attracted by the
sudden collapse of the old storehouse,
and as it went down the whole thing
toppled over into the river, right
where Peg had only few seconds be-
fore struck the water when she leaped
from the roof.
Nursing her strength, Peg half swan
and half floated TOW ard the shore.
Afraid of attracting the attention of
Chockro she wasted no energy in
screams.
Gradually the long journey was ac-
icomplished. She at length could see

atlng on somewhat different condi
lions than they were accustomed to
and 1t was thought best to give plenty
of time to pitch the tents and arrange
the paraphernalia.
When time came for the opening
performance the spirit of their work
took possession of the show folks and
they seemed to forget their otherwise
unpleasant surroundings. The spirit
of frolic and fun possessed them; the
blare of the band music inspired them
and the show ran smoothly through
the program.
The clowns gathered around old
Flip when time approached for Pegs
number to be given. The girls who
usually dressed with Peg had passed
the word that there would be a "sur-
prise number" when the time came for
Peg to appear, and almost everybody
with the show knew what the sur
prise" would be-except Flip.
To add to their own enjoyment of
the lark and for the purpose of giving
the old clown happy awakening from
his troubles, everybody had kept
secret the fact that Peg had arrived
just after the performance had begun
and was making ready for her num-
Der in time to go on.
And there was another who was
surprised when Peg returned. Chock-
70, the Hindu, had reached the Mex
lean town during the afternoon and
was following his usual practice of
sneaking around the circus to find
something that he could report to
Mrs. Lund when she should, also.
bands show in its first Mexican town.
The Hindu CHANGED to be passing
near the woman's dressing tent when
Peg arrived. He had presumed she
persisted, for when he returned TO the
pier he discovered the charred plank
ing and other signs that the store
house had burned. Had he seen Pegs
ghost enter the dressing tent he could
not have been more surprised.
To make sure the Hindu sneaked
around in the shadow of the tent and
slit the canvas with his knife. When
he peeked through there was Peg. sure
enough, her own happy self, greeting
her companions and being joyfully
welcomed TO the dressing tent. The
Hindu would, indeed. have some I'M
expected news for his "boss" the next
day
When Peg bounded into the ring to
give her first performance in Mexico,

encirclec her shoulders as he held her

said Lund. "A little rest here will fix
me up all right. And besides. | would

Peg hid her blushing cheeks on the
shoulder of the man she loved And
young Lund gently caressed her golden
hair as he whispered tender love
words In her ear.
The wrecking crew had cleared the
debris of the box car from the bridge
In short time after the smashup that
nearly sent Peg and young Lund to their
death. The events which so swiftly
passed during the afternoon could
have no bearing on the movements of
the show. Doctor Lund had held the
circus in town one day, under subter-
fuge. but now it must move upon its
trip to Mexico.

appearance, and his agony was in
creased by the uncertainty OF her fate.
To be sure no trace OF human beings
had been found in the wreck of the
shattered box car. The pony was
there, so badly crippled that 1t had to
be killed.
But there was no sign OF Peg or
young Lund having ever been In the
car. And to add further to the mys-

NINTH EPISODE

Seconds seemed like hours to Peg
IN her position of extreme peril. The
ropes with which the Hindu had tied
her to the post in the old shack cut
INTO her flesh as she tugged and strug-
gled to liberate herself. The flames
which the rats had started BIZ igniting
a box of matches waited their hot
breath against her cheek as the fire
olazed only few feet away
Peg worked her arms back and
forth, trying to wear through the
oraids of the rope that held her. She
struggled desperately to make an i'm
preston upon the stout strands. And
for success.
There was a nail in the post.
Bit by bit, strand by strand, Peg
destroyed particles of the rope by rub
bling 1t against the nail--until finally
she freed herself. With her hands
numbed by the effort, she was not able
to work very fast in completing her
task Of untying the strands that
bound her legs and feet.
And when she had done this she
CROPPED through the dense smoke
keeping along the wall opposite the
spot where the fast-increasing flames
were leaping high until she came to
the door through which she had en-
tered. 1t was securely fastened from
the outside.
The girl noticed that there was
draft that attracted the smoke to the
ceiling, and great was her joy to dis
cover trap door that led to the low,
fiat roof of the old shack.
When the csver was removed the
flames found stronger draft, and
they fairly leaped at the girl, strug-
Cling to draw her body to safety. 1t
was fast work and hard work, but
desperation gave the girl phenomenal
strength and she reached her first
chance for safety without serious con-
sequences. But the flames now in
creased her danger, threatening to
soon consume the frail roof and let
Peg tumble into the seething fire.
There was no choice no time to con-
slider; there was but one decision to
make and that meant the risk of an
