Entering directly from the yard with
their burden, the thugs deposited the
box on the rough floor Of what ap-.
peared to be more Of storeroom or.
cellar than anything else. Boxes were
piled in heaps, planks and bits Of lum-
Der were strewn about and at the
foot Of the stairs, leading to the floor
above, there projected into the room
square, boxlike structure that ex-
tended from floor to ceiling.
One OF the thugs approached and
opened q sliding door that disclosed a
darkened interior. Into this black
hole the men carried Peg. who was
still locked securely in the wardrobe
chest.
When the girl heard strange voices
as the roughs discussed the discovery
of the chest at the gate to the show
grounds she decided that it were best
to keep still and not disclose her pres
ence. She could hear voices, but
could not distinguish exactly what
was said.
Peg felt herself being raised, with
a steady, swift movement, after the
men had carried the wardrobe chest
into the dark hole. Soon the men be-
gan again to move the box and Peg
suddenly bumped down, as upon a
floor.
People in the town called the place
where Peg had been taken 1.-The house
of mystery" Located in sparsely
settled district, on the outskirts OF the
city, it was the only house for several
blocks in any direction. 1t was sur
rounded by high fence on all sides,
except where it fronted on a corner OF
the lumber yard.
Who owned the house, or why
was lumber stored in great piles in
or care. Certain it was, that no bust.
ness was done by the lumber yard.
and the only people who were ever
seen around the yard were few
rough-looking individuals who held no
communication with the stragglers
they occasionally met in passing to.
and from the place. 80
Shortly after Peg had been carried
into 1.-The house Of mystery" big au-
tomobile was rapidly driven down the
road that separated the lumber yard
from the show grounds. The flames
from the burning show property illu-
minated the immediate surroundings,
and with the moon shining brightly

can pick up something that's worth
having" said third.
And, evidently of the opinion that
the suggestion was worth acting upon,
the counterfeiters descended the
stairs and left their den by the door
they had. entered. - ~ :.
When Peg discovered that the ham.
mering on the fastenings to the box
which held her had suddenly ceased
she cautiously tried to raise the lid.
She greatly rejoiced to find that 1t
lifted readily under the force of her
pressure from within.
She heard voices below, and with
great caution descended the stairs and
listened. She heard the woman and
her gang in loud conversation, but
could not clearly understand the sub
ject of their discussion. -
The stairs she descended led into a
short hall, with door opening oppo-
site the foot of the steps. TO reach
this door was Pegs resolve, but in do
ing so she must cautiously pass the
open door that led into the room
where Mrs. Lund and her gang were
conversing. -
Peg deftly sneaked along the wall,
keeping her eyes on the occupants Of
the room, and as they were in spirited
discussion she managed to cross in
front of the opening without being dis
covered and safely reached the door
at the end OF the hall. She tried the
knob cautiously, opened the door and
passed through. to find herself In a
pitch dark closet. ,..-... - a ,ss,a,,-....
: At that instant Mrs. Luhd passed
into. the hall, on her way to see the
foreman OF the counterfeiters' work
shop. Peg had just time to swiftly
close the door that hid her from view,
safe In the stuffy closet. The girl
found, by feeling carefully around
with her hands and feet, that she was
in some sort of q storeroom, filled with
boxes and barrels.
She heard the thugs pass upstairs
ana come down again, after having
discovered the empty wardrobe chest.

Mating language in q letter. JaQues?"
And Mrs. Lund addressed herself to
the man who had been the leader in
tho gangs operations since they dis
covered the wardrobe box at the gate
leading from the show gounds.
"Well, it's a fact, boss said the
crook addressed as Jaques. 1--WE are
having hard time showing the money
we make here, and I, for one, am about
done with the game. You can pay
me my price, right now, and I'm over
with the job"
His companions indicated that they
were of the same mind, as we'll.
"You are fine lot of counterfeters,
you are," said Mrs. Lund, her voice vi
brating with scorn and rage. you get
frightened at the least little thing.
But if you really insist on quitting I'll
try to compromise with you" '"~
Taking a big roll Of bills from her
handbag Mrs. Lund counted out a
liberal share for each man and hand
ed it to him.
"Take this on account, stay by the
game, and you needn't pass any more
of the queer stuff until your fright
wears away. But want you to stick
, with me and I'll pay you just the same
as though you were passing counter
feits for me. But if any Of you don't
want to be ACKNOWLEDGMENT, you'll
wish YOU had been, that's all I've got
to say.
"Now I'm going to the machine
room to see the foreman. You men
are through until Chockro gets here.
I'm going back home, right after | see
the foreman, but Chockro will be here
in a couple OF hours. So all Of you
come back and get your orders from
him."
Then Mrs. Lund passed from the
ROOM and her hirelings went back to
investigate the chest they had brought
in. They were so busy talking to
their boss' that they neglected to
tell her about bringing in the box.
There was a surprise in store for
the crooks when they lifted the lid.
Save for few circus dresses, the box
was empty. AS they held these two
or three costumes aloft JaQues said to
his puzzled companions:
'And we logged dis box clean here
to git something none Of us can use"
"Well, that's fine joke" said one
of his companions.
"Aw, never mind the skirts; let's

Portable spot to rest upon pile OF
planks.
He was barely seated when he heard
voices approaching from general d.
rection back of him. Lund thought 1t
would be discreet to hide and await
developments. - ~ss.sa,,r
Four men were in the group, and as
they came nearer to him Lund caught
threads of their conversation that
made him alert in an instant.
"Jaques is certainly a fine chooser,''
said one Of the men. "He picked US
a good load to carry and nothing for
our labor" s

want, but that chest had more than a

over all, the lumber yard was almost
as bright as day when the machine
turned in and threaded its way
among the piles of lumber until 1t
stopped before the house. - q;
From the machine stepped-Mrs.
Lund. wife of Doctor Lund. the owner
OF the circus. What her thoughts had
been when she saw her husbands
property in flames were not displayed
or even indicated by her actions or
anything she subsequently said.
Clearly she had other and more i'm
portant matters in mind than the safe
ty of her husbands property. There
was a fiendish look upon her face and
her eyes cleaned through the heavy
veil that we'll concealed her hardened
features.
She went straight to the door
through which Peg had but few mo-
ments previously been carried, and
climbed the stairs to the first floor.
She was evidently not expected by the
occupants of the place, for there, was
no one In the room when she entered.
; Mrs. Lund passed through the par
lor to door that led into q hallway,
and from there she passed upward an
other flight to the room in which she
discovered the four thugs working at
the fastenings of the wardrobe chest.
They had just broken the lastsone OF
the fastenings when Mrs. Lund sur
p-ised them with her sharp command:
K want you men to come down to
the ! ,rlor and listen to what I've got
to say" snapped the woman in loud
and imperious tones.

ono of the toughs. drawing long
breath as he completed the exclama:

His companions, equally surprised,
expressed no opinion, but followed
their leader downstairs to the parlor,
where Mrs. Lund arrived ahead of
them and stood waiting by the table.

full" said Mrs. Lund, "or we will all

FIFTH EPISODE

Before he left the tent, with Peg &C.
curely locked in the wardrobe chest;
and young Lund lying senseless upon;
the ground, Chockro fiendishly drop
ped a lighted match into a MASS OF
circus posters that had carelessly been
thrown behind one Of the trunks tenn
porarily stored in the tent.
Young Lund's good constitution
quickened his powers Of recovery from
Chockro's stunning blow, and he was
only prone upon the ground for brief
space OF time. AS he struggled to re-
gain his feet the smoke from the
burning paper filled his lungs and
made more difficult his blind efforts
to extricate himself from his perilous
position. p s.s..
By grasping the corners Of the very
chest in which Peg was locked, Lund
managed to stagger to his feet. He
half fell across the wardrobe chest
while the struggling and kicking cir
Gus girl beat with her hands and
heels against the top and end Of the
box.
Despite the sitting smoke that
would have otherwise prompted him
to seek fresh air forthwith, young
Lund realized in a dazed way that
there was something or somebody
alive within the chest. To save this
life, even at the hazard of his own,
now became young Lund's purpose.
He wrenched with his bare hands
at the locks and hasps that held Sc,
cure the cover of the wardrobe chest.
Peg, frantic with fright and apprehen-
sion, kept pounding and kicking the
inside of the box, her signals having
the effect of making young Lund re-
double his frantic efforts.
But, with all his strength, try as he
might, the cover OF the box resisted
the attacks Of his bare hands.
Grasping the handles of the heavy
chest and it's human contents, Lund
bent his strength to the task OF drag
ging the box from the tent. y
The choking smoke blinded his eyes
and filled his lungs; the task seemed
at times beyond accomplishment. But
Lund stuck frantically at his work
and slowly, inch by inch, worked the
heavy chest over to the sidewall of the
tent. Then he crawled outside, where
the air was pure. Why
Refreshed by few deep drafts OF
pure air, his strength revived, and

In another instant he had dragged the
wardrobe chest free Of the tent and
continued to haul it along the ground.
The fire started by the fiendish
Chockro had by this time communi-
Gated to other combustibles in the
tent, flaming up and finally reaching
the cloth sidewalks.
Once the canvas was on fire the
tent was doomed, and the summer
breeze began quickly to watt the
flames right down the line, tent after
tent, as they stood side by side, catch
ing fire from the sparks or large pieces
OF burning cloth that were carried
along by the wind. -.
The crowd was assembling for the
evening show and the performers
were making ready for their share in
the program.

not available for the other state officers
but the democrats have elected Clarence
Van Deusen, state auditor; t. A. Wal

secretary of state, and E. L. Parker,
lieutenant governor. The republicans
elected two congressman, Smith and
French; state mine inspector Bell and
the state superintendent, Miss Ethel E.

pluralities by counties accredited to the
two candidates for governor are as fol-

Claims are still being made by Sec
rotary Gregory of the republican state
central committee that recount will
elect D. w. Davis, the republican CUB
ernatorial candidate, and prominent
republicans assert that contest will
be initiated after a ruling has been re-
eevied by the supreme court as to how
scratched ballots should be counted be-
fore the legislature.
There is little or no deviation from
the returns as formerly reported, ex-
eept that when the official returns
began to come in Governor Alexander
gained in the majority accredited. Al
though there is some talk of contest.
the outcome seems to be in accordance
with the decision arrived at in Idaho
Falls where it was reported thai the
vote from precincts No. / and No. had
ballots, the county commissioners later
agreeing to accept the. return without
been thrown out by reason of scratched
reference to the scratched ballots, and
this being based ON legal advice.
The charges of. fraud which issued
from republican state headquarters
from time to time since the election
have not been born out in single IN,
stance and it seems that they have only
been seeking Tor irregularities such Dc
ordinarily occur in the case of an cleo
ton upon which they might base some
contest and in hope that some benefit
might be derived from teehniealities
The results deeisively indicate the will
of majority of the voters and efforts
to initiate contest would consist in
an attempt to overthrow the will of the
majority And all charges of fraud IL
the election being overthrown the only
hope would remain to gain the benefit
of slight irregularity and confusion in
counting and one candidate would not
be likely to gain an advantage in this
