them is the remarkable town of Curva,

II Is situated high In the Bolivian
Andes and is entirely confined to the

town of Puerto Madyrn. sSs miles from

OF tin and zinc. These are brought
down from the capital and are much
cheaper building materials than lum-

built OF metal; the fences also are

The outlaws had not been gone
ten minutes when Jenkins arrived in
their car. There were explanations
and congratulations and the party re
turned to the circus more determined
than ever to fathom the persistent
attempts on the lives Of Bert and
Edith
The performance that night was
nearly finished when Craven calIeT
Peaky and told him to inform Bert
that the tent where his horse was
usually quartered was being cleaned
and to put the animal up in the tent
just beyond the animal cages.
Peaky scented new viHainy in the
order but Bert took it as a matter of
fact.
Bert closed the performance with a
daring exhibition of riding and as he
raced about the ring, the Red Mask
might have been seen stealthily
climbing to the top Of the cage con-
tanning the man-eating lion and fast
ening a noOsed rope to the catch re-
leasing the door at the end of the
cage. The cage stood directly i'm the
path Bert must take to put his horse
i'm the new tent assigned to him.
This rope Red Mask passed over the
top of tent pole and thence through
a cleverly arranged pulley so it might
be operated from behind a canvas
wing twenty yards distant. And from
behind this wing, Red Mask watched
M oh &ha
ring and start toward his tent.
Bert finished his act and as he left
the ring, Jenkins met him with an
urgent request to attend an important
matter elsewhere and when Edith
offered to lead the animal to it's tent,
her offer was accepted as matter Of
course.
In his cage, the lion paced back
and forth roaring out his rage at
every human being. From his hiding
place, Red Mask had seen Bert or:t
the ring and as Edith, leading Bats
horse, neared the cage, he pulled the
rope and the lion, eye on girl and
horse, saw the barrier between them
and his insatiate craving for human
blood suddenly removed. Barring his
great teeth and with a roar that rang
through the tents, he sprang into the
doorway and then directly at the
helpless girl.
Bert's horse with a leap of terror
tore away and ran out into the ring
where Bert and other attendants
we're standing. It's appearance be-
spoke peril of some nature. And as
they paused there came again the
S,,Iy
scream.
Snatching up clubs, pitchforks and
any weapons all rushed to the lions
cage. There stood the great beast,
triumphant and roaring, his great
head rearing high and his forepaws
pinning the senseless Edith to the
earth.

Continued from last week.
CHAMBER S-oThe "Man-Eater"


Bert's van, with the Beresford heil
inside. loosed from its fastenings
through the villainy Of Craven and
Peaky plunged from the swaying cal
and plunged down the embankment
but almost by miracle, Bert caught
between his bunk and a wall escaped
serious injuries, although unconscious
when Edith, Jenkins, O'Doherty and
others reached him. Early on the
scene, ALSO offering their sympathy
were the conspirators.
The detective gave his attention TIC
the upturned van and the fiat car
He carefully examined the blocks and
lashings. He smelled a piece OF rope
and called to Jenkins:
Eaten away with acid. That was
no accident"
Everybody agreed it was more work
OF the Red Mask, but Bert's condition
demanded immediate consideration
and il was Edith who, seeing a little
bungalow in the distance, suggested
that Bert be taken there until an
afternoon local came along when he
would overtake the show in time for
the night performance. jenkins
agreed and Bert was placed Oh a
temporary stretcher and taken to the
bungalow, which was untenanted,
and made comfortable on bed.
Edith insisted on remaining with him
and O'Doherty said he, too, would
stay behind.
"It isn't safe to leave them here
alone" said the detective. They are
Ill n1ycg
Edith expressed relief that the de-
tective was to stay and although Bert
scoffed at the idea of any danger in
the bungalow from Red Mask or his
accomplices, Jenkins decided that
O'Doherty should stay and stand
guard all night.
1t was planned that were Bert able,
they should rejoin the circus in the
next town in time for the afternoon
performance, and with this under
standing Jenkins left to oversee the
getting away of the train.
Detective O'Doherty spoke more
wisely than he knew, when he said

and the escape of their Would-be vic
tins.
They're taking him to old Blud-
soe's shack" whispered Gus. We'll
get off at the next station and rustic
up some horses and ride back here. "
Jim assented and when the train next
stopped they removed their DISCUSSES
and buying guns, dynamite, rope and
other things they figured they might
need, they hired a couple of fast
horses and rode quickly from town
back to where the van had been
toppled from the train.
The two dismounted in clump of
bushes and formulated their plan of
attack.

Seeds OF Fortune.

Thoughtless spending is like eat
ing SO much of this years crop that
there is insufficient seed left for next
year. Wise spending and sane saw
ing are like eating enough of this
years crop to promote the highest
degree of efficiency and saving
enough for even a better crop next
year.
1t is coed business to think of the
next crop. The farmer who did NIT
plan ahead might find, at the time TO
plant corn, that he had neither saver
the seed nor prepared the land.
Are you saving the seed that make 5
fortunes? A small amount of money
invested i'm Thrift Stamps each week
will soon grow into War Saving
