 Now" said the masked figure turning to the girl. T want you tc stay here until I get back"
 Waiting for her deliverer's return, however, proved neither a pleasant nor a tranquilizing pastime. The girl became restless. Then she became worried. Then she even ventured to creep out along the rough -shored pas sageway to where the tunnel opened on shelf of rock and gravel half way up the hillside. Screened as it was With shrubbery she could see little Of the valley before her. The only point of life that met her gaze was a black touring car crawling along the valley road. When that car turned off the road and twisted and rocked in be- tween the bushes below her she thought at first that 1t was her un- known guardian returning for her. But when she saw five men cautiously emerge from that half-hidden car and creep still closer through the under brush she felt sure that they were not approaching as friends. For a mo- ment her heart leaped up into her mouth. Then she breathed again, for she saw that they were not approach ing her hiding place, but apparently seeking one of their own.
 Her face paled, however, as she heard the clearer and more authorita- tive tones of one of those speakers. For that voice. she knew, belonged to Legar, and only to Legar.

 The girl. pushing her cautious way through the bushes, leaned even closer over the ledge. Then she held her breath, for she saw that her move r1ents had loosened the gravel at her feet and sent covey of powders ca reening down the hillside.

 audacity, had reason to fee we'll pleased with his morn ing's work. Defeated, for the time being, in one quarter he promptly swung about and struck at another.
 His attack in this instance, was di- rected at nothing less than Enoch Golden's own home. There, effecting an entrance through a neglected coal chute before even the servants were astir, he had crept stealthily upward until he found refuge in trunk room Through the door crack of this trunk room, however, he soon had the du- bious pleasure of beho,ding a figure quite as stealthy as his own. figure that wore laughing mask and made its way cautiously downward to the door of Enoch Golden's study. On that door the masked figure, before van peared. pinned an oblong of paper. And that mysterious scrap of paper attracted the puzzled Legar as an angleworm attracts sunf1sh. Steal ing up to it. he read:.
 Enoch Golden: You have proved disappointment to me. Despite my warnings, you still oppre<s the poor nnd abnse your power. Your daughter has been saved from the clutches of LeEar. and at the proper time will he pro- duced. But that time will not come until yOu have changed your ways of life. So, while stIil you have the chance, do some good deed!

 As slight sign of my diaap- proval. I nm apprOprfattnE your Third National Bank. for which now take occasion to thank you. Ten minutes later Legar had made his escape from the house and was speeding southward in his car, not unhappy in the thought that he had confused the issues of his enemy the Laughing Mask.
 The Laughing Mask himself, in the meantime. was busy with his own en- tcrpfises. He had rescued Margory Golden from Legar. it was true. but her conveyance to a place.of safety. in open daylight, was a much more diff ficult problem.
 This led him down a secluded by way, where the powder shack of a construction company still stood half way up wooded hillside. At the end of tunnel piercing this hillside was

 It was Margery Golden herself, de- terrninedly following Manley into the edge of the ruins, who next con- fronted the wrathful-eyed captain.
 Its true what he says, sir. It's true," cried the girl. And my fa- ther knows it's true. And he'd tell you himself, if your men would only let him get to you!"
 For one moment the grim-jawed official looked down into the girls earnest face, staring at 1t without actually seeing it. Then he suddenly wheeled about.

Then he turned to Manley.~.'Y .'You come with me-" was his curt demand, as he el- bowed his way out through the black mass of the street crowd, and Manley followed at his heels as he made his way to the nearest tele- phone.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-11

Still later that night while Davie Manley and Margery Golden and her father were arguing and wondering as to the origin and full meaning of this strange message, Legar and his men. emerging like water rats from the river front rendezvous close be- side the Owls Nest. piled into har- Dor launch with muff1ed kicker and silently made their way for Oyster Joe's. Their spirits were high, not only with the refreshment which they had partaken of in the abode of the Owl, but also with the thought that they had successfully effected a haul which made the ordinary bank theft a piker's game.
 Yet those sounds of revelry took on somewhat altered tenor when that delectable cargo, crowding into the dimly lit sail loft of Oyster Joe, found themselves confronted, not by their millions in stolen treasure, but by a stiff -jointed and blasphemous old man in white whiskers, tied and lashed to one of his own shack beams.
 Don't yelp st me about your damned gold" cried Oyster Joe, with sulphurous string of oats, when he was able to speak. 'I never saw any gold! All saw was that chain-light- ming ginll in a mask, the gink who's double-crossed me twice at the same Game!"
 Legar staggered back into broken chair.
 'So it's the Laughing Mask again." he said with an oath which. if quiet toned. was even more impressive than Oyster Joe's believing impreca- tions.
