stoveplpe might be inserted, covered
with wall paper and entering the chin

Removing this cover, the girl called
into the chimney. She waited for an
answer, and then shouted again and
again. Finally she dropped book
through the vent hole, and it landed In
the fireplace of the room where Lund
was confined. Again she called, and
this time an answer came from below.
"Your mother is watching by the
door" said the maid. "She Is guard
ing it closely, but II have a chance.

you. Keep close watch; I'll work as
fast as can" " r. Il E.
It took time for the girl to accom-.
pllsh her purpose. Finally, after. re-
peated attempts, the maid discovered
a moment Mrs. Lund had left the door
unguarded. H..
She made hurried dash to reach
the door, but Mrs. Lund appeared
from room across the hall, and the
two women arrived simultaneously at
the door leading to Lund's temporary
prison. The maid stopped directly In
front Of the key, but, had no time to
either turn it or wrench 1t from the
lock.
"What are you doing here7" Mrs.
Lund demanded nngrily. -
"Oh, madam, I'm SO faint |" the girl
exclaimed. --g.. ....~
She put her right arm over her face
with gesture Of bewilderment, leaned
against the jamb Of the door and.
reaching behind her. slipped the key
from the lock with her left hand. !,
"Well, If you are faint or sick, your
room is the place. for you, not spying
around here" was Mrs. Lund's retort.
The girl, having accomplished her pur-
pose, fed upstairs with all speed and
dropped the key down the chimney.
Quick Quick!" she fairly
screamed. "Your mothers automobile
Is outside. Run for it!'
When the key struck the bricks of
the fireplace. Lund was eagerly watt
ing for it. Turning the key in the
the lock, he felt the door being held
against hiN.
His strong shoulder against the pan,
els quickly overcame the obstruction.
and when Lund forced his way
through the door he was dumbfounded
to find that his mother had been keep
ing him prisoner.
Without saying word he fed up
stairs, out of the front door, and after
starting the engine. vaulted into his
mothers machine. He darted away In
the direction Of the circus grounds.
The entire afternoon had been con-
sumed by the maid In her efforts to
free him.. Twilight had passed, and

Young Lund watched his mother as
she left the room. He was mystifed
because Of her strange conduct, and
gradually the suspicion of her I'm,
Iworthiness was dawning upon him.
For a moment he stood in deep
Thought, clearly troubled and per-
Iplexed. Suddenly arousing himself,
he entered the music room and faced
the two men. so ~

and do it quickly" AS he stepped
aside to give the two men chance to-
pass through the door, young Lund
could not resist the impulse to make
ia pass at the Hindu. His fist swung
against the back of Chockro's head
and gave impetus to his movement.
Lund made no move to follow the
thugs, but, instead, closed the por-
there's carefully and sat down In a
chair to quietly await developments.
He heard his mother enter the next
room and talk to her henchmen in
tones so low that only a mumbling
sound reached his ears.

attention to young Lund. making a
rush through the curtains, into the
music room.
Lund was ready for them, and met
blow for blow, as they both set upon
him in an effort to knock him out.
The struggle was terrific, but brief;
Lund working against odds fast and
expertly. -,

Lund, driving madly along the coun-

decided his action. ...

terms, but when ChockrO found an Op-
pOrtunity to draw his revolver, a blow
from the butt of the "gun" upon
Lunds head soon settled the battle.
Carrying him between, them, the two
thugs transferred Lund to the store
room to which Mrs. Lund had prevl:
ously directed them.
Deposlting their burden on the floor,'
the two crooks met the tiendish wom-
an ut the door as they were leaving
the storeroom. Mrs. Lund turned the
key in the lock and said to ChOckro !:
Hurry on to the show. I will
watch him closely, and see that he
does not get away" And the inhuman
creature stood with her back against
the door as the meh hurriedly left the
house.
Mrs. Lund stood for several mo-:
ments leaning against the door. Shei
listened for some sound from within
the room, until, evidently convinced
that her prisoner was thoroughly sub
dued, she made her way upstairs.
From her hiding place behind the,
chair everything that had TRANSFERRED
was seen by the maid. She saw Chock-.

downstairs, and moment later heard;
them pass from the house by way Of:
the front door.
The girl hurried downstairs, with
the purpose Of trying to communicate
in some way with young Lund, but she
discovered Mrs. Lund had returned to
the door and. was intently listening.
Unobserved, The maid retreated, and
tried another method Of reaching the
prisoner. r~ 2.

Chockro's double-box clown act was
indeed one Of the most amazing per.
formances ever given with circus.
Six of Chockro's burly henchmen
constituted his troupe Of .clowns."
When they entered the ring, they were
a grotesque lot, variously made up to
represent policemen and firemen.

was mystifying. and the Hindu's ma
tive cleverress brought to bear de-
gree of experiences to make the trick:
work smoothly and well.
Again the man was made to appear
and disappear, from one box to the,
other. At u moment when the audience,
was convulsed with the drolleries Of,
the "clowns," one of Chockro's gang
entered the ring, bearing in his arms
a woman, her head covered with a.
cloth and her arms and legs flying
around as If resisting her captor.
The audience enjoyed the incident,
as great fun, and the circus perform
ers also looked ON In keen professional
interest. Old Flip was one in the
crowd who looked with suspicion on
the whole proceedings, and when the
woman was rushed into the ring the:
