During the chase Chockro and his
man had discovered that their Job had
been bungled. They were likewise treat
ed to surprise in realizing that in
stead of the old clown, whom they
We're ordered by Mrs. Lund to kidnap
and search for the mucl-dcsired let
ter, they had brought along the circus
girl. ,
Fright ahead, in that clump Of trees,
is the house," called Chsckro. "Stop
there and let us out"
Arriving at the designated spot,
Chockro opened the door and ran into
the yard. There he met the gardener,
who was in charge.
II heard your house was empty. DO
you want to rent it for short time"
said the Hindu. This remark was the
signal Mrs. Lund had previously ar.
ranged, and in response the gardener,
Eliberally bribed for knowing and see
ling nothing, assured ChOckrO that the
coast was clear.
They carried Peg into the house, an
entirely empty place, with two rooms
on the ground floor. The girl cos
tuned in Flip's clown suit was thrown
into the corner Of one Of the rooms
and momentarily left there by her cap
tors. When Chockro and his man
looked from the window in the next
room their fears We're realized, for
they saw young Lund run through the
gate and come toward the house.
1--WE must get away with the girl
right now" said Chockro to his con-
federate. "Then we can fix Lund, now
that we have him out here, away from
any help" And suiting the action to
the word, the men again entered the
room where Peg had been thrown. ::
"We'l get you this time, young
lady," said the Hindu, as he made a
dive for the girl. by quick move,
Peg eluded him, and screaming at the,
top of her voice. made an attempt to
reach a window, hoping to thus es-
cape. But the Hindu and his man
were prepared for the move, and head
ed her off. .a5 ,,.......
Just at that instant a crash Of glass
in the next room warned the conspira-
tors Of trouble in another direction.

they exchanged blow for blow with the
sailors. But the odds were too great,
and this Lund and Jerry soon realized.
eve can only jump and swim for it,"
Lund shouted as instructions to Jerry
and Peg "You jump first" Lund
called to Peg, land we will 60 over the
side after you" t Tx III
With only their heads above water
Lund, Peg and Jerry could not observe
how their good fortune was working
out. They had not had opportunity,
during the excitement Of the fight on
deck to look about them. But the
strange proceedings on the deck Of the
steamer had attracted the attention OF
two men who We're cruising around the
harbor In motor boat.
"What in the world Is all that
rumpus on the deck of that steamer
at anchor over yonder," said the man
who was steering the motor boat to his
companion.
"Certainly looks as though there was
something peculiar about it." replied
the other man.
"1'm just curious enough to want to
find out" said the wheelman.
The three swimmers were going
strong when the motor boat came to-
their relief.
At Lund's request the motor boat
made directly for the pier from which
Peg had been kidnapped. AS they
approached their destination, the three
bedraggled unfortunates could, see on
the dock group Of people, evidently
watching the little craft as 1t fairly
flew over the surface of the harbor.
"They're the folks from the show,
I'll bet" cried Peg land know daddy
is anxious to see who's in this boat"
And Peg was right.
There was scene Of great rejoicing
among the crowd on the wharf when
the boat came sufficiently near to per-
NIT Peg to be recognized. The motely
group, most of them still dressed in
their circus costumes, shouted with
JOY and danced about the wharf in
expression Of their delight.
Strong arms assisted Peg from the
boat, and lifted her bodily to the
wharf. But when Lund and Jerry
scrambled to the pier, the rejoicing
reached a climax in cheers and tears
Peg was overwhelmed by her girl
companions, and Flip wept for Joy.
The men who had effected the rescue
were heroes of the moment, and when
Peg and the others had profusely
thanked the boatmen, they were given
three cheers by the circus crowd as
the party started back toward the
show ground. .s
Flip's injured foot made it impossi-
BILE for him to walk without assistance.
Placing his arms over the shoulders
Of Peg and young Lund the old clown
finally accomplished the journey.
1--WE are back in time for the show .
said Peg. 'But guess the principal
clown will not be among those pres
ent.'
"Feels that way just now" said
Flip. "And 1t will be the first show
I've missed in many moons, I can tell
you that" s'.
With Flip made as comfortable as
possible in the mems dressing tent,
Lund and Peg gave the old clown an
outline Of their adventure. During the
conversation the thought occurred to
Lund that the letter Peg had entrusted
to him for delivery, had not been Civ
en- to Flip. and taking the precious
document from his pocket Lund hand
ed it to the old clown.

WOULD FREE
 PHILIPPINES
Upper House Passed Philippine Bill Granting Independence to Is.
 lands in Four Years.

Washington, Feb. 5.-The Senate tonight passed the Philippine bill which wculd grant independence to the islands within four years and pro- vide for immediate enlargement of their powers of self-government. The votes was 253 to "A. The bill has not yet passed the house.
 Various democratic senators, led by Chairman Stone of the foreign re1a- tions committee tried unsuccessfully to amone the independence clause but in the end the democrats joined by six progressive republicans voted sol idly for the measure. It is under stood the bill will go to the house backed by President Wilson and be pressed for early action.
 The republican senators who voted for the bill were Borah, Clapp, Ken won. LaF'ollette, Norris and Works. By overwhelming majoritles the sen ate had refused to modify the Clarke amendment adopted several days ago, which contains the independence pre- vision and gives the president au- thority to extend or withhold inde- pendence at the end of four years, if conditions should be unfavorable.
 Senator Norris, in opposing a pro- visicn in the bill empowering the president to retain naval basis in the Philippines, said the president had been converted from a man of peace to a militarist.
 Senator William Alden Smith scored the president for the determination to give up the Philippines.
 .'This action is an unjustiflable and uncalled for one for surrender Of Am- erican rights" he said, eff these is- lands become anarchistic and the peo- pie get to warning among themselves you will be blamed for it, as you ought to be- If other countries go to war over them, it will date from the day when you towards abandoned task which Providence placed in your hands, and which by this act ycm are acknowledging you are unable to mas ter"
 Senator Stone, replying, character ized Senator Smiths remarks as "a veciferous, scattering, dreary, insane partisan harangue."

Norman Black Being
Talked for Governor

Bismarck, Dec. 29.-The suggestion
that Norman B. Black, manager Of
The Times-Herald printing combina-
ton in Grand Forks, be compromise
candidate for governor among the
North Dakota republicans meets with
a great deal of favor if those taking
the initiative in the matter can outline
a policy by which Usher L. Burdick,
Colonel Frame and George J. Smith,
who have already announced their
candidacy, can be induced to with
draw.
1t is conceded that Black has many
personal qualities that endear him to
the people of the state, that he has
business and public experience that
would admirably equip him for the
position of the states executive, that
he has not been so closely affiliated
with either of the republican factions
that he could not be acceptable to the
members of both. All this and many
other things are conceded.
But with Burdick representing the
insurgent faction, Frame the stalwarts
