charge In force down the broken face
OF the cliff. And as the minions of
the law descended on the cave-mouth
the eyil-eyed group gathered there
erupted into sudden life. There was q
wild scramble up the rock-ledges.
quick encounters and combats, blows
and counterblows, the impact of ash
night-sticks on resounding skulls. the
captivating cry Of half-stunned cap
tives.
But Legar fought, backed close
against the rock. with the ferocity Of
wildcat holding on every attack and
with his failing iron claw sweeping
back every assailant. Then, swing
ing about, he leaped up the cliff-face,
springing from rock to rock with the
agility Of mountain goat.
At the top Of the cliff, when Enoch
Golden himself, side by side with the
police captain, attempted to bar that
flight, the fugitive bowled over those
two rotund figures and bolted north
ward along the topmost ridge Of the
cliff, heading for the timber not more
than hundred yards away.
But by this time two of the officers,
recovering their wind and burning
with the indignities to which they
had been subjected. had caught sight
of the fugitive and started in pursuit
They ran well, and they ran deter
minedly. Legar, realizing that they
were gaining on him, and further real
izing that he could not keep up his
gait for long. veered suddenly toward
the river, where a road-builders' tool
shed stood at the extreme end Of a
rock-cut along the cliff-top. Through
the doorway of this shed he darted,
with his two pursuers, now Joined by
third officer, not hundred yards be-
hind him.
Running to the far end of the shack,
he sent his wooden arm crashing
through the window, leaped to the sill.
and stared out. Below him lay the
Hudson. Crouching low, he leaped
out into space and then dropped like a
plummet to the river below.

SYNOPSIS.

On winward Island Paiidori intrigues
Mrs Golden into an appearance of evil
which causes Golden to capture and tor,
ture the Italian by branding his face ana
crushing his hand. Palidori Hoods the Is
land and kidnaps Goldens little daughter
Margery. Twelve years later In New York
a Masked One rescues Margery from Lee
gar and takes her to her fathers home,
whence she is recaptured. Margery' 8
mother fruitlessly implores Golden to hnd
their daughter. The Laughing Mask
again takes Margery away from Legar.
Legar sends to Golden a warning and q
demand for a portion OF the chart OF
Windward Island. Margery meets her
mother. The chart Is lost In a fight be-
tween Manley and one of Legar's hench-
men, but Is recovered by the Laughing
Mask. Count Da Espares figures In q
dubious attempt to entrap Legar and
claims to have killed him. Golden's house
IL dynamited during a masked ball. Le-
gar escapes but Da Espares Is crushed In
the ruins Margery rescueS the Laughing
Mask from the police. Manley finds Mar
gerry not Indifferent to his love. He saves
her from Maukfs poisoned arrows. Man
ley plans a mock funeral which fails to
accomplish the desired purpose. the cap
ture of the Iron Claw and his gang. Mar
gerry is saved from death at the hands OF
the Iron Claw by the Laughing Mask. An
attempt by the Iron Claw to blow up the
O'Mara cottage Is frustrated In the nick
of time. The Laughing Mask discloses
his identity to Margery.

crossed the room b me vault ana

crossed the room b the vault and
swung to the heavy safe door.
With an oddly birdlike movement of
the head the girl stopped and stared In
tently at his figure, clearly outlined
against the dark folds Of the portieres
behind him. Then. instead Of locking
the vault door. she took four swift
steps to the heavily carved teakwood
table to her right. In another moment
she had caught up a Roman lamp OF
solidly cast bronze and, with all her
strength, hurled 1t at the swaying por-
there behind him. "Legar!", was her
cry. And at the same moment she ut
tered shrill cry of warning.
It was time. From behind one Of
the folds of the portiere she had
glimpsed an iron claw at the end of q
preternaturally long arm. And as this
iron claw was lifted high in the air she
cried out as she caught sight Of the
CLINT of a naked steel knife blade
Her warning was sufficient. Lightly
the Laughing Mask leaped to one side.
By this time Legar was in the room
itself, and as he advanced he drew
a revolver from his pocket.
But the man in the mask was more
agile than his enemy. He swung
Margery about In q twinkling and
whisked her back to the vault, where
with one tug Of his free hand he
swung the vault door open. Legar fired.
but the bullet ricocheted harmlessly
against the open safe front of steel.
Father keeps navy revolver in the
coin drawer of the vault here" whis-
pered Margery as the man In the mask
pushed her more deeply into the
shadow of the protecting door.
At the moment that the Laughing
Mask swung about and tugged open
the coin drawer Wilson and a round
eyed footman, having heard the sound
Of the shot and having previously
failed to get any answer to the tele-
phone, came running to the library
door. But before they could open that
door Legar, realizing that his time was
short, had taken matters into his own
hands. Charging bodily against the
still half-open vault door. he swung i
shut upon the Laughing Mask ana
Margery before they had time to
realize his intent. Then Legar threw

mental problem that engrossed her
preoccupied her attention to the exclu-
sion of everything else. Then voice
behind her spoke:
"Csn you see any of them?"
Margery turned to the man In the
yellow mask, who stood close behind
her. -

question. 1--WE have few minutes
grace. Do you think 1t surely the
wisest thing to do; do you think 1t nee
essary beyond all doubt that 60 away

what that must mean to mel can
not but think Of father!"
II have thought of everything you
have said-everything you have even
thought" said the Laughing Mask
gently. But 1t is no longer safe for
you to stay here. had to tell you
this. And had to get from your IA
TIERS vault the thing that will clear
me of some. at least, of the crimes Le-
gar has fastened upon me-Legar's
confession"
Then, come. let us hurry" said
Margery.
The two Of them then stole quietly
down through the shadowy house to
the library.
The Laughing Mask went swiftly to

FOURTEENTH EPISODE
The Plunge for Life.

A strange mood of happiness, as I'M
reasoning as 1t was inexplicable,
seemed to have taken possession OF
Margery Golden. A less timorous light
shone from the depths Of her pool
brown eyes. At all times of the day,
too, she could be heard singing about
the house.
This hayward bitterness Of spirit
was something more than a puzzle to
her heavy-browed father, who found
little in the situation Immediately con-
fronting him to cause him any undue
lightness Of heart. For that situation
had Unexpectedly taken on the form
Of defeat.
After all Jules Legars campaign for
the possession of that pregnant scrap
of parchment which carried the key
to the secret of the lost treasure Of
Windward island, the long-fought-for
document had suddenly disappeared
from the Golden vault. And all evil
dence pointed to the fact that 1t was
the Laughing Mask who had stolen
the chart and cipher code from the
safe.
Golden was in the midst Of his
second conference with the russell
faced Captain Bracket of the head
quarters staff, when telephone call
came for that official. The talk over
the wire was one-sided. Then with
great deliberation the official hung
up the receiver and swung about to
Enoch Golden.
"Well, we've got your Laughing
Mask for you"
you've got him?' repeated Golden.
Our man Walcott located him BY
trailing his chauffeur. And before
nightfall we can have him rounded
up"
Where was he found?"
"Just where you'd least expect a
man Of that character to be found.
He's hiding in a cave in the Hudson
Palisades, not ten miles from where
we're sitting at the moment. just above
Coleman's village. And the fact he's
