FOURTH EPISODE
THE NAME AND THE GAME

Legar had reason to feel well
pleased with his mornings work. De-
feated for the time being, in one quar-
ter, he promptly swung about and
struck at another.
His attack, in this instance. was d.
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 dubi-
GUS pleasure of beholding a figure quite
as stealthy as his own. a figure that
wore q laughing mask and made its
way cautiously downward to the door
of Enoch Golden's study. On that door
the masked figure, before vanishing
as quietly as it had first appeared.
pinned an oblong paper. Stealing up
to It, Legar read:
Enoch Golden: You have proved q
disappointment to me. Despite my
warnings, you still oppress the poor
and abuse your power. Your daush-
ter has been saved from the clutches
Of Leear, and at the proper time will
be produced. But that time will not
como until you have changed your
ways Of life. So while still you have
the chance, do some good deed!
THE LAUGHING MASK.
Legar. having thoughtfully perused
this strange warning, promptly added
q postscript:
A. q slight sign Of my disapprovaI,
am appropriatins your fifty thousand
dollars from the vaults Of the 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 southwark in his car, to con.
fer with his own men as to the ap-
preaching assault on Golden's wealth
in the Third National vaults.
The Laughing Mask himself, in the
meantime. was busy with his own en-.
terprise. He had rescued Margory
Golden from Legar, 1t was true, but
her conveyance to q place of safety
In open daylight, was a much more
dificult problem. In his extremity
accordingly, he had to resort to those
expedients nearest at hand.
This led him down q secluded by
way. where the powder shack of a con
struction company still stood half way
up q wooden hillside. At the end OF

to escort his visitor to the bank
vaults.
BE so good, Mr.. Wells, as to show
our clients that our vaults are not
made of tissue paper"
This the attendant took much pride
in doing.
The array of defensive measures,
puzzling as it was to the younger MEM
bers Of the party, served to bring
sense of assurance to Enoch Golden
himself.
These people are right" he said
to Margory and Manley as they made
their way back to their waiting limou-
sine. Ten thousand one-armed crooks
couldn't batter their way into that
bank"
A certain one-armed criminal, new.
ertheless, was at that precise moment
very busily engaged in preparing for
his assault on this Gibraltar Of gold
so proudly regarded as impregnable.
Two workmen in the uniform Of Gen.
eral Electric employees. exploring
section of abandoned cable gallery,
were busily engaged In enlarging q
wire conduit which met this gallery at
right angles. There. by means Of an
electric mining drill, they burrowed
like two moles deep beneath the level
of the street along which the traffic
Of a great city so ceaselessly ebbed and
flowed. From a manhole opening into
this gallery was quietly passed huge
cylinder Of iron capped by a drum Of
zinc having hinged cover. The two
subterranean workers had been
warned to handle the cylinder with the
utmost care. And this they did, know
| ing full we'll that its weight was due
to the fact of its being tightly packed
with high explosive.
Legar himself, in the meantime. hav-
ing clothed a number of his henchmen
in uniforms and caps bearing the in
scription Western National Bank" d.
rected his attention to the much more
critical task of tracing the signature.
Henry H. Stonington. on a typewritte-
sheet bearing the embossed imprint
Of yet another bank. the Third Ma
tional. Then. having made sure that
his secret emissary had duly executed
his plan of bridging the Stonington
uptown house wire, he telephoned to
one McTigue certain orders as to the
future movements of duly designated
motor truck.
His next move, once he had received
a report that his two gallery workers
had fitted their massive cylinder in the
wire conduit and pushed 1t gently but
firmly into the uttermost recesses OF
that conduit by means of a jointed
bamboo pole, was to verify the time
at which the detonating clock had
been set, advise his colleagues. and
take up his position in the window OF
a building commanding a view Of the
great granite e-bastioned bank itself.
He consulted his watch from time
to time, with his eyes always going
hungrily back to the heavy-pillared
back entrance itself.
In one minute" he announced
they'll get dose Of the medicine they
gave us this morning" Again he
looked at his watch.
One of Legars men, pushing up the
window to speak with him. stared va
cantly into the SCARED face suddenly

cial he thrust an authoritative-looking
document from the president of the
Third National himself:
This letter of introduction read:

agents Of the Western National Bank
to take possession Of and remove the
contents Of Third National Bank vaults

through those jealously guarded fire

By the time John Stonington's Ian
daulet reached the hank, following the
warning already sent on from head
quarters, an empty vault lay amid the
smoking ruins and Legar's galleon on
wheels, loaded to the brink with its
stolen gold, had slipped away unchal-
