only known of the mans presence and
who he was there would have been a
vast difference In the career Of Dr.
Lund-for 1t was the father OF La
Bellies child who was sneaking away
from the death chamber.
Secretly and covertly Doctor Lund
had answered La Bellies summons;
he had crept silently to the door and
listened while La Belle told her story
He had seen the let .er pass into Flips
possession, and knew that the clown
and Mrs Ridley were fully informed
Then he sneaked away as silently as
he had come.
All night long Flip waited for the
news he dreaded to have told to him.
Just before dawn they told him the
girl he loved was dead.
The grief-stricken clown fought out
his sorrow and then turned to the fu-
ture.
He took Mrs. Ridley, unwillingly,
into his plans, and consulted with her
as how best to proceed. The two de-
cided that little Peg should be In.
trusted to the Good Samaritans, to
raise until she should arrive at an age
when Flip might undertake her train
ing as a circus rider.
To be near the child and also to be
near the grave Of the dead La Belle,
Flip decided to make the old southern
town his home. living there in winter
and travelling with the circus In sum-
mer.
The passing years had brought
changes in the domestic affairs OF

could barely restrain a cry Of Joy tc
see that La Bellies face bore smile
OF half-conscious recognition.
That day she gradually gained In
strength, until early in the evening
she was able to whisper to Flip
Get Doctor Lund; tell him he must
come" and the weak pressure her
hand impaired as he held 1t in his
own, was enough to inspire the clown
to any task.
The doctor was not at his office
when Flip called. but he left word
with the attendant, asking Lund to &c
at once to the hospital and see the
circus girl who had been so nearly
killed by her tigers.
Thinking best to tell an untruth and
save worry for La Belle. the real mes
sage he gave her was in effect that the
doctor was out Of town. but might be
expected to call on her the next day.
And the sleep and rest she had that
night gave her strength for the ordeal
that she must soon face-alone.
When Flip arrived at La Bellies
bedside In the hospital next morning
he was greeted by Mrs. Ridley with
the remark:
Here is a letter I've Just written
for La Belle. and I'm going to take II
myself to old Lund. and see IL ! can
move his stony heart"
Show 1t to me, Mrs. Ridley" said
Flip in kindly tone. must know
everything that goes on around here,
You must tell me all that happened -
And Mrs. Ridley handed the note to
Flip. who read:
Doctor Lund: Not for the sake OF
myself alone do ask you to come to
me. Here in the same room where
you said you loved me, fate has de-
creed that another life may enter even
IL my own shall pay the price"
Mrs. Ridley left the room with the
note. while Flip sat by La Bellies bed.
side as she slept. The hours passed
and Doctor Lund did not appear. Mrs
Ridley had returned with the informa.
ton that she had placed the note In
the hands of the doctor himself.
La Belle finally asked that Mrs. Rid.
ley bring her writing material-for
she had q message to leave that must
be penned by her own hand. The let.
ter finished, La Belle wrote upon the
envelope inclosing 1t these words:
For my child. Not to be opened
or delivered until my boy or girl ia
eighteen. This letter and my child

Then she asked for Doctor Lund.

the festivities were at their height.

to be pretty soft on this animal queen

But day or 80 later the overwise

When Lund stopped. impatiently
there was distressed look upon his
face and he glanced guiltily around to
see if they were observed.
La Belle put her arms around his
neck and drew his head down long
enough to whisper something close in
his ear. Lund drew back as though he
were shocked. There was a cold, cruel
look in his eyes as he responded
sharply:

tears streamed down her pretty face.

show. He now hurriedly came to her
side, and in sympathetic tones soothed
her as best he could until her spasm
of grief had passed away.

with grave emphasis, saying:
Mr. Hughes can be trusted to keep
his word. When Hughes said he would
not tolerate such deeds as the sinking
of the Lusitania and the killing OF
women and children in Mexico he meant
just what he said

the doctrine Of protection for Ameri-

Every Administration, from the
foundation of tho Republic, save only
President Wilson's. accepted that doc
trine and acted in accordance there

"The new Wilson policy Is sordid
and base. He says he wishes for

with the world. He would have our
citizens go forth and trade for their
benefit and ours, but they must do so
at home. reaping the reward of their
labor, and send notes when they are
murdered. Such policy breeds the
worst traits in men and stamps a ma
ton with cowardice.

when President Wilson condemns
Americans In sweeping terms as adven-

OF refusal to protect American citizens

lection OF Americans and their inter
ests, we need not hope for peace II
