when the kidnappers reached their
destination.
When Pegs dressing room compan-
ion came back from the ring she was
dumfounded to see everything upset,
with costumes strewn upon the ground,
chairs overturned and Peg nowhere to
be seen. The girl ran screaming into
the open air, just as Flip and some
| of his fellow clowns were emerging
from the main tent.
peg Is gone" she cried.
And at that instant one of the stable
men came running up, shouting wild
.ly and pointing away past the horse
tent
II just got fash of a man carry
ing woman down the HILL" said the
hostler. "And then heard the screams
over here and came for help"
Flip, nearly crazed, as the truth
dawned upon him that his little girl
had been kidnapped, shouted to his
companions:
"Come on, for Gods sake, we must
overtake her. It's II o'clock and no
matter where she is we must get her
If we can, for her. strange inheritance
may lead her into HARM .;
Just then other stable men came
running up with the information that
one o. them had seen, in the moon
light, an automobile drive away on
the main road, going swiftly down
hill. ~"
Flip and his companions, without
asking anyones leave, ran to the ma
chine owned by the manager CT the
show, that stood ready with the driver
at its wheel, waiting to take the
boss" to the train when the perform
ance was over. ..-s
Flip and four more of his friends
piled in, briefly explaining to the
chauffeur that Peg had been kid
mapped. and that he must give chase
to her captors. The man needed little
urging, for there was not person "on
the show who did not love pretty
Peg, and there was nothing they would
not do for her. ....... ,.,,-.........,, ..
Regardless Of the speed with which
events had TRANSFERRED on the show
grounds Chockro and his party had
gained considerable advantage In
the start, before the circus crowd had
turned on to the main road in pur.
suit.
The Hindu urged his driver to-
make all speed, and over the smooth
road the big machine fairly flew. Hold.
ing en- tightly behind was Chockro's
unt.dden passenger. Far behind Flip
and his fellows followed along, keep
ing sharp lookout for any signs of
their prey. = s<s~ \ r -
After. booming along at top speed
fer nearly an hour, Chockros machine
suddenly turned from the road and
came to halt before low rambling
building.
The Hindu sprang from the ma
chine, and. with the help Of his COM
panions. lifted Peg bodily and started
to carry her toward the open door Of
the house. Young Lund slid down
from his uncomfortable perch and
glanced up at a sign on the building
that read: 49,.
EAST India Animal Co."
Lund gave no thought to what i'm
Port that sign carried. He was bent
en- following Peg and her captors.
But they beat him to the door, aud
Just as he reached the sill the thugs
slammed the door in his face. Lund
saw Feg in the arms Of the Hindu,
being carried down short flight OF
stairs to be lost in the darkness.
But when the Hindu reached the
rccm into which he had carried his
burden he was doomed to the great
surprise Of his life. Pegs atfiiction
needed no timepiece to prompt It's
recurrence. It was just midnight, and
the tigerish disposition Of the afflicted
girl asserted itself.
Chockro had barely deposited his
burden On the floor Of the dimly light
ed room when Pegs tigerish affection
overcame her. She spraag upon the
Hindu with the ferocity Of tiger
and overpowere1 him with her super
human strength. n.,.
