more greatly deepen the mystery
which seemed to be relentlessly sur
rounding them.
When the train started, after our
frultless search for you, | was half
crazy" said Flip, and l was near
dead when we reached the lot this
morning. l could only take a little
coffee for breakfast, and when parade
time came | felt SO bad that | got
the boss to let me out OF it.
i decided to stick around and take
things quiet. After a while | felt a
ing tent. l was rummaging in my
trunk, when | noticed a couple Of
rough-looking men peering in at me.
"Of course | was suspicious, and not
= little frightened. | made up my
min that they wanted something |
had, and the only thing in my trunk
that is overly precious was a letter
that is worth more to you and me
than money.
Il have never told you this before,
but that letter will be mighty valuable
in a few months. 1t belongs to you,
and | have guarded it carefully all
your life. Somehow l got the notion
that these toughlookiDg customers
wanted that etter- and | decided to
fool EN-.
so | dug down into my trunk, and
pulled out a pad of paper and an en-
velope, scrubbed some tumble of
words OF the paper, wrote your name
on the envelope and switched the fake
letter for the real one. The precious
letter | slipped into my inside pocket,
and then wandered out Of the tent, as
though nothing was expected to hap
pen.
Il kept my eye On things, however;
and sure enough, those guys sneaked
into the tent, dug into my trunk, found
the counterfeit letter, and made away
with it."
Flip and Peg separated-and before
they again met the mystery had fur
ther deepened.

machine slowed down. but the driver
was, evidently, intending to proceed
after gratifying curiosity, when Lund
shouted:
Help! Stop! need you
The owner Of the car told the chauf-
feur to halt, and Lund ran up to the
machine. The man in the motor was,
very naturally, astonished at young
Lund's disheveled appearance, and
he eyed the still damp and soggy
clothes OF the doctor with grave sus-
picion.
When his glance caught Peg sitting
on the pile of lumber in her bedrag-
gled riding toys. he was further mys-
tilted. Lund was compelled to do
some rapid-fire explaining, giving the
incredulous automobilist a brief out
line OF the astonishing developments
that had brought them there.
I'VE must get to the circus" said
Lund, concluding his story, and l
appeal to you to help us in our dis
tress. Take us along with you to
town, drive us to q store, where the
girl can get some clothing, and we
will never forget your kindness"
Lund had made known who ne was
to the owner OF the car, and his frank
and manly method of explaining their
predicament had SO impressed the au-
tomobilist that he finally consented.
AS the owner OF the car was alone in
the tonneau, there was room for Peg
and Young Lund to be comfortably
during the ride to town.
The man provided Peg with a light
laprobe, which she drew over her
shoulders, and SO the party proceeded
on their journey. When they arrived
in town their good samaritan stopped
his machine in front Of a store for
wOmanS wear, and, covering her rid
ing costume as we'll as she could with
the laprobe, Peg made a dash from
the car through the door.
Young Lund took advantage of the
opportunity to procure clothing for
himself, and, returning for Peg. paid
her bill, and the vi proceeds to the
circus grounds.
When the big spread OF canvas
arose before them the band was play
ing inside the main tent, and Peg
knew that the performance was under

iously awaiting some word from her
servant.
When he was approaching the Lllnd
home, passing through the grounds
ct the back OF the mansion, Ebockro
noticed Jack Boygne and 3 rough
looking companion enter Doctor
ELdnd's study by ! side door.
He quickly made known his pres
Ieence to Mrs. Lund, and she took him
into the library, adjoining the doctors

said the Hindco. concluding HIS re-
cital Of bis movements since she had
sent him away to do away with the
circus gill.
Just then Mrs. Lund and Chockro
heard loud voices in Doctor Lund's
study. They both moved close to the
door and listened.

letter. This thing don't mean any
thing. It's .cnly a lot OF rscribbling."
well. We dug it ont q F1ip's trunk,
right. where We saw him hide it."
Mrs. Lund and the Hindoo recognized
the voice Of Jack Boygne, replying to
Doctor Lund.
But tell you I'll not pay you a
penny for this scrawl. Go back to
the show and get the right letter. II
you had sense you'd know that Flip
would not leave a precious letter in
his trunk. Get him and search his
pockets. Get the letter and bring 1t
to me-and I'll keep my promise to
pay you we'll"
All right, doctor-just az you say.
But you've got to pay we'll when he
deliver the goods proper"
Mrs. Lund and Chockro heard the
door leading to the yard from the doc

Boygne in taking his departure.

FOURTH EPISODE

Peg opened her eyes, after a brief
sainting spell, caused by the realiza-
ton Of her plight, to find the lions
still %crouching in the far corner OF
the cellar, their gaze fixed upon the
terrified girl.
Young Lund's shouts came family
to her ears from the waters below,
and as she Shrank close to the wall,
she tried to devise some way to help
him. Bound as she was hand and
foot, she resolved that it were better
to take her chance for life with Lund
rather than to remain at the mercy

Peg was dumb with. terror and
amazement. What she witnessed had
transpired SO quickly hat she could
not instantly realize that the precious
letter was gone. Terror made her
helpless. She seemed, for an instant,
transfixed.
That brief interval OF hesitation was
her undoing. Suddenly a strong arm
grasped her from behind and q hand
was clapped yer her mouth. In her
ear a hoarse whisper warned her:
This time I'll kill you outright IL
you scream"
Taken utterly BY surprise, OF her
guard and held fast in the clutch OF
her captor, Peg was momentarily
helpless. She was suddenly lifted by
strong arms. and her captpr, lodging
close into the shadows, ran with her
until he reached another tent, filled
with trunks and strong chests used
for transporting tho circus costumes.
