remained at Heney's side since he had

gathered and feeling ran high. There
was a rumor that vigilance committee
had been formed and newspapermen
were besieged with questions when
the location of the meeting could not
be learned, group of half dozen

SINISTER SHAPES
HIDE BEHIND HAAS

What is it that lies back of that
pistol shot in Judge Lawlor's court
room?
What considerations, mercenary or
otherwise. prompted that quick, cow
ardly attempt to assasSinate?
Whose was the hand that pointed
the pistol held by Haas?
Whose the brain that planned the
design, explained the opportunity and
belittfed the difficulties of its accom-
plishment?
In answer to these questions rises a
cluster of sinister shapes, malevolent,
forbfdding. One of them-a little man,
snake haired rat eyed, his eyes shin
ing with the febrile glare of the hunt
ed animal Others are lawyers with
lips curved to insincerty. hypocrisy,
lies and all the vices that breed out of
law books read against the slant of
justice and truth. others, STILL are
paunched and putting millionaires, their
faces aflame with too good living, and
on their brows the stigmata of all the
deadly sins.
But among the shapes stands one
who must command particular atten-
tion now. The crime the others plot
ted 1t took his hand to execute, the
death they decreed he tried his best
to deal; the blood they thirsted for
dripped first to his soul. That is Nor

OTHERS BEHIND HAAS
A man of misshapen skull, denied
from birth the physical development
that makes for fine, clean citizenship,
but endowed with brains of the kind
that breed cunning and crime and ac-
cept the domination of crooked sug-
gestion-keen for money making, keen
for position. keen for revenge when
wronged, just as keen for revenge
when exposed for attempted wrong
doing. Ready to do murder reader
still to find justification for murder
in the goadings of others. That is
Morris Haas.
What is his story? And will the
justification which will be attempted
with that story's aid stand the test of
cold reason? Will the other sinister
shapes that hide behind Morris Haas
fade before the mans wrongs or fan
cied wrongs? Or will they stand out
the more boldly, calling In their own
respite for punishment? Let us see.
Years ago Morris Haas embezzled
money. That is the crime of two wide
ly separated types-the heady weak
ling, whirled by passion to fiouting of
the law, and the calculating money
getter gauging the chance of discov-
cry and balancing it against the op
portunity for quick, easy gotten gain.
There is no evidence that Morris Haas
was of the former reckless. spending

Out of prison Haas took up the
thread of a broken life and pieced it
cunningly so that few suspected where
the ugly rent had been. Years passed;
he prospered In a family liquor busi-

There is a snake called the lancer which lives in South America and is very ready with its fangs.
