Where fast time was desired the
Maxwell party on It's record run
covered the ground at good speed.
The old car they employed was by no
means q racing machine. and was
probably in no better shape than the
average standard touring vehicle used
by motorists. Yet the only stop for
repairs Of any sort was to replace a
tire that had already seen 1900 miles

SECOND EPISODE
The House of unhappIness.

The House OF Unhappiness.
Enoch Golden, with all his millions
was hard man. Those closest to hin
contended that he had experienced
much to make him hard.
The one person who stood in any
way intimately and personally con
nected with Golden was his young pri
vate secretary, David Manley. For
young Manley, often enough known to
his associates as "Davie," was both
incorrigibly youthful and engagingly
Irresponsible Golden, oddly enough,
secretly liked this youth for his fool
ishness.
Golden smiled little as he stepped
into his massively furnished library
and found young Manley curled up
in one of the great leather chairs
intently working over a pocket
camera and quite oblivious of the tele-
phone bell shrilling from the rosewood
desk beside him. Golden, as he seated
himself at this desk and CURLY an.
swered the phone call, blinked with
mock disapproval at the youth bent
over the camera.
It was not until he heard Golden's
great fist smite the rosewood desktop
that Marley looked up. The man of
millions was frowning over the letter
still In his hand.

many, we find, are out of work. II you

threaten, our settlement workers claim
that hundreds of the poor will have

Of the mothers and children alone,
implore you to reconsider your earlier
decision.

AMOS SCHOFIELD, D. D."
Tho fools!" said Golden aloud.
"They know as much about business,
Manley, as you know about bond Is
sues! Not raise my own rents!
guess Enoch Golden still knows enough
to run his own business!"
He stopped and looked at Manley.
whats that gim-crack you're vast
ing your time on?" he demanded.
"Gim-crack?" laughed Marley. IT'S
the neatest thing In cameras that ever
came into America. That's a new

1usting to it.. Take q snap of flea

And your income on those tenements,
by the way. amounts to an annual re-
turn Of just 43 per cent Of the capital
invested"
But Golden's patience was exhaust

Yet, Enoch Golden, even as Manley

over that strange abduction. For two
minutes later his still furried butler

Manley that license No. 6249 belonged

with the knowledge of this cars ide1-

fering with its movements. For still
another hour of cautious shadowing
on the part Of Golden's private secre-
tary provided him with the knowledge
that Doctor Stein was in the habit of
motoring from Maple avenue to the
Central Tower building, and from that
prosperous skyscraper to an humble
point within block of the Owls Nest
itself. Thirty minutes later found
Manley in a telephone booth, talking
to his employer.
Have you received any message
from that man Legar?" asked the
younger man, after impatiently ex-
planning who he was.

the door refused to close. Before that
body could be dragged to one side,
the lieutenant and his men were in
through the door, welding night
sticks and flashing firearms.
1t was Manley himself who caught
up a chair and brought it crashing
down on a strangely complicated mech
anism standing squarely in the light
of the Tower window.
But Legar himself had not been
idle. At the first wild charge into his
tower room, the master criminal had
dropped crouching behind work
table, darted across to his parcel
chute and there touched hidden
spring. The next moment the chute
stood open and Legar was descend
ing like plummet to the floor below.
But not before Manley had caught
sight of his vanishing head and start
ed in pursuit.
Manley was joined minute later by
the police. In the meantime Legar
had escaped to the street by way Of
the fire escape.
He hailed taxicab and hurried
eastward to the Owls Nest. Two
minutes after Legar went rocking and
swerving eastward he was followed
by a stranger in a second cab This
stranger drove straight to the water
front, two blocks to the north, dis
missed his taxi, and earnestly con.
ferred with a roughly-dressed long
shoreman, who later rounded the slip
in a rowboat and took the stranger
aboard.
Legar, in his quarters beneath the
Owls Nest, was in anything but an
amiable mood. He stared about at
his coterie of unsavory confederates.
A CLEAN Of triumph showed in his
narrowing eyes as he spied white

roughly about, but remained silent.
A sleepy-eyed parrot, standing on

stirred uneasily at Legar's rough |
movements. The girl, rising slowly
from her chair, stared into Legar's |
evil face.
What are you going to do with
me?" she demanded.
Legar laughed.
You won't be asking questions
about it, when you find out!"

rear door and opened 1t, stepping out
into the hall and peremptorily called

at the same moment stepped into the
room from another door. He stared al

pocket camera.

as Golden re-entered the room.
But his eyes, the next moment, were
on neither Golden nor the girl. His
gaze passed beyond those two strange
ly diverse figures to yet a third, the
,crouching figure Of an eavesdropper
clinging to the wistaria vines that
framed the huge window on the far
side of the room.
Marley, crossing the room on the
run, took the window, glass and all, in
one leap. He landed on a hydrangea
bush even as the burly. eavesdropper
dropped to the grass beside him. The
next moment the two men clinched.
The fight was an uneven one, but
Manley stuck to his man. He stuck
to him until that worthy, with sud-

Before Manley could recover him

broke away, vaulted to the street and
signaled to a waiting automobile.
Then Manley's senses came back to
him, and rolling over into the open
roadway, he took the camera from his
pocket and held it between him and
the disappearing touring car. He
pressed the spring, knowing that
his telescope lens would carry to the

Jules Legar, in his role as a master
of underworld activities, was both
adroit In his engagement of the serv-

preparation of the field wherein they
should labor. Like the humble weasel,
he held that every warren should have
both an exit and an entrance.
