He dies, supposedly of his wounds, and the medal disappears. Dorothy has an idea jn whose possession it is now. On a fete day she visits the Chauteau de Chagny, with her circus. There she meets d'Estriecher who desires to pos- sess the money, as well as Dorothy her- self. Adventures follow.

Dorothy's deduction of the words "Robora Fertuna" reveals the money, when all seems lost. She divides it equally amongst her cousins, the heirs, and then departs with her circus for the open road.
