"Now that you are on, you had bet ter chase yourself right off again," said one of the two burly circus em ployees to young Dr. Lund, who were, waiting as he climbed the steps to the platform of onfe of the circus cars. By this time the train was rattling along full speed and young Lund was forced to raise his voice to a 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 if to obey their command. The two showmen stepped across the platform,: on which young Lund was steadying himself by holding to the vestibule,] and without a word began an attempt, to throw him from the train. Lund, Jr.,, put up a stiff tuB8le1 against his burly assailants. His training in college bad made him aj fine example of athletic expertnessJ Since leaving college he had main-' talned his physical standard by con-i Btant training, employing Jack Boygne -as his regular trainer and sparring partner. But all the tricks that Boygne had. taught him availed the young doctor as nothing against the combined, prowess of thei circus huskies. A1 most before ho realized the odds hej was combating, he was sailing through. the air and landed, badly shaken .up„:! on the ground beside the tracks. Considorably dazed he arose to his feet to see the tall lights of the clr-j CUB train receding in the distance. Reasoning thlngB out for a moment! young Lund decided that he had bestj walk to tlie next station and wait for "Never Worry About Me, Daddy." a train to take him to the town.wherfe his father's circus was to show that: day—for it was now well paBt mid-! filght, and- daybreak was not far off. Dr. and Mrs. Lund heard their boy's automobile speed away from the garage and feaw it turn into the 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 thiB morning." "He hafl- probably gone to see that 'wildcat with your old circus," was the only comment Mrs. Lund vouch safed. And breakfast proceeded with out either of the Lunds again break ing the silence. The meal finished Dr. Lund repaired to Ilia library and sent for Jack Boygne, his son's athletic trainer. Lund's craven heart made him fear Lie wife, and the indications of her ^WALTER HIUL ft^ (TO JO DPA^DT SYNOPSIS. La Belle Le Sleur, famnua animal queen, secretly married to Dr. Lund, owner of the circus, 1b fatally Injured by her leopJ ardB. She lingers near death until her, baby girl Is born. Dr. Lund refuses to visit his wife on her deathbed, and La, Belle gives the child to Flip, the clown, to rear as a circus rider. She also gives. Flip a letter proving the child's parent-: age. Dr. Lund marries the woman who, has come between La Belle and her hus band. Flip rears Peg as his own child, and discovers that she la afflicted with a strange Inheritance. Every night at the stroke of 12 her nature changes and shej takes on the disposition of the leopard* that killed her mother. Dr. Lund gives a party to the circus performers. Here Dr. Lund, Jr., meets and falls In love with Peg, experiences an attack of her strange malady and in" spite of this, and over the Novelized from the Motion Picture Play of the Same Name by the Universal Film Manufacturing Co. Copyright, 1916. by tlx Auttwm jealous suspicions, which she had evi denced the night before, disturbed him beyond measure. He felt sure she suspected that Peg was his child, and, during a sleepless night, he had made his plans. The letter which he had seen La Belle, on her deathbed, hand to Flip, the clown, was the only tangible proof of Peg's parentage. With this letter destroyed, Dr. Lund would be fref from any dread of his wife's actions. Jack Boygne was a man ready" to turn an "honest" dollar ait any time, by fair means or foul. Lund Knew this and so ordered his plans. When Jack reached the library, Luna wasted no words in telling him what was wanted of htm. "Get that letter, Jack, and 95,000 Is .yours," said Dr. Lund, when he bad :explatned to Boygne that Flip, the clown, held in his possession a docu ment well worth going after and in volving any risk neccssary. "Here's money for expenses, and wire me when •you need more. Get two or three men to Help jrou, and I'll pay them a thou sand apiece when you hand me thfc letter." "Say, Doc, for that much monejr 1*J steal the circus," said Jack Boygne. "I'll send two guys to you In a, Jiffy, and you bargain with them yourself. They are a couple of pals who have been with the show." Dr. Lund was standing by the li brary window shortly after the thugs had left him, when Mrs. Lund en tered and eaked him, blandly and In nocently: "Who were those rough looking 'characters you were Just talking to In here?" Before replying Lund looked keenly at his wife, trying to read her mind if he could, and then said: "Oh, they were a couple of work men with the show, who missed the train last night. They came to get money for their fare to the next stand." Lund congratulated himself that his wife's suspicions, whatever they might have heen, were disarmed, for she left the room without, further comment. But Lund was not aware that his wife had been eavesdropping during all the time he was arranging details, with Jack Boygne and his pals. When Mrs. Lurid left the library she went straight to her own room: and sent the maid to call Chockro, her Hindu servant. The employees in Dr. Lund's household could never, understand just why Mrs. Lund had always given such liberty and license, to Chockro. He was a silent and un companionable member of the Servant brigade. The Hin^u had come to. the Lund mansion when Dr. Lund brought his brido home many years before. Mrs. Lund sent her maid from the room when Chockro arrived, and shut the door, securely locking It. "The time has come, Chockro, when I am going to call upon you to pay me hack, as you have promised me you would when I saved your life," said Mrs. Lund. "Anything, anything madam wants: Chockro will do," said the Hindu.' "She knows I will serve her with my life for do I not owe her my life?" 'Do this that I want done, Chockro, and I will pay you enough to keep' you all your life, and I will give you my promise to let you go freely wher-, ever you may wish." 'Chotfkro promises with his life," said the Hindu, "Veil, then, listen carefully. Thts: circus girl, Peg, whom you saw here1 last night Is crazy and. worst of air she wants to marry my son. Dr. Lund' and I have decided that she must be gotten rid of, and I have told the doc-' tor that you would do it. There is no time to be lost. Here Is money, and plenty of It. I v^ill keep my prom ise if you will do my bidding. If you fall me—" "Chockro no fall. Chockro prom ise his life," the Hindu interposed. "See, then, that you follow these instructions. I have written them for you to read on the train, and then de stroy. Go now follow that circus un til you can safely get Peg out of the way." a a Peg, safely In her berth on the cir cus train, soon recovered. The circus crowd had something new to talk about next day, but Peg was so well beloved by everybody with the show that the comment was never harsh and soon, Indeed, the in cident of the exciting evening at Dr. Lund's party was dismissed as a topic of conversation. Busy with preparations for the pa rade, and working through the after noon show, the circus people failed to observe some unusual Incidents that occurred. There were a consid erable number of tough characters, following the show Juet as with every circus there Is an elemont of irresponsible humanity with whom the circus people themselves have nothing in common. Thus it was that Jack Boygne and his gang were able to mingle with' the "rough necks" and hangers-on without exciting any great suspicion during the afternoon. And when 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. 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 a compara tively few miles to travel. While these thoughts were fleeting through Peg's worried mind, as the afternoon Show progressed and was lover, events nearby were shaping themselves Into sensational ends. Young Lund was sparring for time, considering further how he should pro ceed, and waiting for matters to shape themselves. He wanted to observe' her more closely, and half dreading to meet her and still faBcinated 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 Beat and watched the afternoon performance. -No one had ever seemed BO beauti ful to him as did Peg that day. After .the rtiow he wandered among the tents until he finally came upon the horse tents, where. In a 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 vitally concerned him. Chockro had kept young Lund under, surveillance all day, being careful to: avoid being discovered and using cau tion that suspicion might not be espe-i cially directed on his actions. When Lund seated himself on the hay near the horse tent, Chockro mad# up'liis Died that the. time had coma' to act. The sun was going down and night would soon mantle the scene with darkness so essential to the sucr cess of .Chockro's schpme. The Hindu sneaked over to the horse tent, and crawling up behind watched for an Instant when the: young doctor was deepest in thought Then the Hindis sneaked up behind his victim and swung a long wooden stako with all his strength. It smaBhed down cn 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 Beveral of the bales •until they completely hid the senseless man from' view. Then Chockro sneaked away. During the early evening Chockro1 made a discovery that completely *upf pftsed him. Ho was talking with tWo: thugs he had hired to help him with hiB plans, when he saw three men sneaking along the side-wall of.the 4 'it ... 4 1 30x3 I 30x3%) 32x3% 33x4 34x4 35x4% 36x4% 37x5- Goodrich "Textan"—for Shoe Soles —Wears longer than leatheri —Is waterproof ami non-slippery while lighter, more flexible, and easier on the feet.

The. appearance of one ot them made him seem strangely fa miliar to the Hindu. Leaving his hired men for a few moments, Chockro followed behind the three worthies he was investigating until he was able to see, in a sudden' flash of light that came through a rent in the side-wall as they passed,: the face of the man who most inter ested him. It was Jack Boygne, young Dr. Lund's trainer—and Chockro was dumfounded, bis suspicions con firmed. Just what brought Jack Boygne to the circus, and with two tcugh looking companions, was more, than the Hindu could surmise. But he knew 'that there was need for ex tra caution that Mrs. Lund's plans must not miscarry. Going back to his men, dhockro said to them: "Wait down at the 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 I do." He gave them money and told them there would be mora when their work was done. 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 heavtly 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-. vousfy watched them. Somehow he associated their pres ence with danger to Peg, and when he saw her early in the evening he said to her: "Be mighty careful of yourself thiii. 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." Peg* unmindful of Impending dan 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 sible, to be more light hearted and happy than ever. Her turn finished, she retired to her dressing tent and began leisurely to .make reader for the train. Alone fo^ a few moments, Peg threw: a. olMk'Sver her riding costume and sat nowfi W a quiet rest. She let her thoughts winder to the young man whp had so suddenly entered-her life—and she wondered, •vyith no little tOmKtnwed on Next Pagej" nilwmilliwiiiiNi/WWnil.'H I: .fr it, Get your Money's Worth!
