big tent. The. appearance OF one OF
them made him seem strangely IA
r1iliar to the Hindu.
Leaving his hired men for few
moments, Chockro followed behind the
three worthless he was investigating
until he was able to see, in a sudden
| flash Of light that came through q
rent in the side-wall as they passed,
the face Of the man who most inter-
ested him. -
1t was Jack Boygne, young DR..
Lund's trainer-and Chockro was
dumfounded. his suspicious con-
firmed. Just what brought Jack
Boygne to the circus, and with two
tough looking companions, was more
than the Hindu could surmise. But
he knew that there was need for ex-
ira caution that Mrs. Lund's plans
must not miscarry. W.
Going back to his men, Chockro
said to them: "Wait down at tho bot
| tom Of the hill, near the automobile
you will find there. BE ready, on
guard and wait until I come. Then
act quick as do He gave them
money and told them there would be
more when their work was done. "s
Meanwhile the evening performance
had begun. Flip was nervous and
more watchful of Peg than ever be-
fore. The unfortunate occurrence at
DR.. Lund's still weighed heavily upon
his mind. Somehow he was op-
pressed with strange forebodings Of
impending evil He had noticed some
of the rough men as they hung around
the lot during the Afternoon. There
seemed to be more Of them than usual,
and they looked bad to Flip, who ner-
vous1y watched them. 9 ~ S'''
Somehow he associated their pres.
ence with danger to Peg, and when he
saw her early In the evening he said
to her: d.
BE mighty careful of yourself this
evening. There are some strangely
suspicious characters following the
show, and I'm nervous about you" -
Never worry about me, daddy. No
harm can come to me with all my
friends around me and you, dear
daddy. so near at hand" - a*
Peg, unmindful of impending dam
ger, was her usual sprightly self. She
cavorted in the ring, dancing gayly
as she gleefully performed her won
derful riding act and seemed, If pos

happy than ever.
Her turn finished, she retired to her
dressing tent and began leisurely to
make ready for the train.

SECOND EPISODE.

said one of the two burly circus en-
ployees to young DR.. Lund, who were
waiting as he climbed the steps to
the platform of one Of the circus
cars.
BY this time the train was rafting
along full speed and young Lund was
forced to raise his voice to shout
that his reply might be heard.
"My father is DR.. Lund, owner Of
this circus, and I'm going to ride to
the next stand!"
The circus men exchanged amused
glances and the spokesman Of the
pair quickly rejoined: "You may ride
to the next stand for all we care,
but not on this train. And before,
she begins beating the speed limit
you had better hop off," !
Young Lund made no move as II.
to obey their command. The two:
showmen stepped across the PLATFORM
on which young Lund was steadying
himself by holding to the fyestibule,,
and without word began an attempt
to throw him from the train. X ri

against his burly assailants. His
training in college had made him a!
fine example Of athletic experiences.
Since leaving college he had main,
tanned his physical standard by con-
slant training, employing Jack Boygne'
-as his regular trainer and sparringi
partner.
But all the tricks that Boygne had
taught him availed the young doctor
as nothing against the combined.
prowess of the circus huskies. AL
most before he realized the odds he
was combating, he was sailing through
the air and landed, badly shaken up
on the ground beside the tracks. r,;;
Considerably dazed he arose to his,
feet to see the tall lights of the cir
Gus train receding in the distance.

young Lund decided that he had best

Chockro reached the show grounds, he
attracted no attention as he mingled
with the crowds.
Peg gave her usual performance
that afternoon Just as though nothing
had happened. -. IL,
Way down in the bottom Of her
heart, Peg expected to see young DR..
Lund put in an appearance during
the afternoon performance. She could
not believe that he would stay away
from the show, with only compare
lively few miles to travel. ..*
While these thoughts were fleeting
through Pegs worried mind, as the
afternoon show progressed and was
over, events nearby were shaping
themselves into sensational ends.
Young Lund was sparring for time,
considering further how he should pro
coed, and waiting for matters to shape
themselves. He wanted to observe
her more closely, and half dreading
to meet her and still fascinated by
the prospect that, in some way, they
might accidentally come face to face,
Lund wandered through the crowd,
and when show time came, took an
inconspicuous seat and watched the
afternoon performance.
!; No one had ever seemed so beauti-
full to him as did Peg that day. After
the show he wandered among the tents
until he finally came upon the horse
tents, where, in q shady spot, he seat
ed himself on a bale of hay and be-
gan to think more deeply than ever
Of the strange events that SO vitality
concerned him.
Chockro had kept young Lund under
surveillance all day, being careful to
avoid being discovered and using eau
ton that suspicion might not be espe'
cially directed on his actions.
When Lund seated himself on the
hay near the horse tent, Chockro made
;uptlhf1 mind that the time had come
to act. The sun was going down and
night would soon mantle the scene
with darkness so essential to the sue
cess Of Chockro's scheme. @ea
The Hindu sneaked over to tho
horse tent, and crawling up behind,
watched for an instant when the
young doctor was deepest in thought:
Then the Hindu sneaked up behind
his victim and swung long wooden
stake with all his strength. 1t smashed
down On Lund's head with mighty
force, knocking him senseless. Quick
ly dragging Lund's limp body back
among the piled-up hay, the Hindu
moved several Of the bales until they,
completely hid the senseless man from
view. Then Chockro sneaked away. I.

DR.. and Mrs. Lund heard their boys
automobile speed away from the
garage and saw it turn into Che street!
"The boy will not be here for break:
fast" said DR.. Lund to his wife next
morning. Jack Boygne tells me he
did not come back during the night
and that he was not on hand for his
exercise this morning."
"IIe has probably gone to see that

the only comment Mrs. Lund vouch-
safed. And breakfast proceeded with

Taking "Live" Bait.

Many words could be written on
catching and care of the minnows and
sinners which have passed into ang,
ling nomenclature as "ivep bait
though why Give" bait when other
living bait are not olive is one of
the fishy paradoxes. There are three
devices foremost in taking them-thc
scoop net for the small brooks, the
singehand seine for the larger brooks
and smaller rivers, and the regular
"bait' seine for ponds and big
streams.
The scoop net the most common bait
taker, is usually made much too small
and too shallow. Its handle should be
seven or eight feet long, its hoop not
less than two feet in diameter, the
depth of the net proper not less than
four feet-thms preventing quick re-
turn of the bait when they meet the
net S bottom. The netting should be
of tough threads and, in making the
net, sew it not with cord but with two
foot lengths of copper wire about half
the size of the ordinary knitting needle,
If the net then tears near the hoop or
seam. the wire can he instantly I'M
and the tear taken up by what
is, in effect, a threaded needle-thc
end of the wire. The single-handed

Vermont True to Traditions.


The response of the Vermont militia
to the call for the Mexican warlike
possibility is in several ways charac-
teristic of Green Mountain methods.
In the first place, the state answers
the summons with quite as large a
proportion of its inhabitants as any
other state, not excepting Massachu-
sets. In the next place, it was ex-
tremely prompt in its reply. Again,
the old Vermont trick of turning out
entire families of brothers in single
companies was repeated. The roll of
one company of Vermont minute men
i'll the Revolutionary War contains the
names of one man and his eight sons.
No families like that in Vermont
now; they have gone out of fashion.
But we note that with Company l of
the First Vermont Regiment, now as
semblcd at Fort Ethan Allen, there
are present three sons of Mrs. Sarah
Dunlevy of Brattleboro, and also
three sons of Mr.. and Mrs. John Mar
shall of lIinsdalc. Patriotism runs all
through Vermont families. A very in
teresting circumstance in connection
with the Vermont regiment is that its
colonel, Ira l.. Reeves, was, at the mo-
mcnt of the assembly of the regiment,
being installed as president of Nor
wich University. Norwich has been
a military school from its beginning
under old Captain Partridge, and
Colonel Reeves, who is a retired cap
tain of the regular army, with bril-
liant record as an officer, will continue
the Norwich tradition of education
mixed with patriotism. Colonel
Reeves will command the Vermont
troops-and possibly some others
from now ON. In the Vermonter s
composition, the military spirit flows
strong and clear side by side with the
civic ideal.
