days continuous fighting, cover q
! front of nearly eight miles and in.
clude the entire German first system
of defense, according to the official
report forwarded by Gen. llaig, the
British commander-in-chief on the
French front. This advance includes
number of small towns or villages
and positions which are considered
of great strategic importance.
In the Nerdun sector the Germans.
unmoyed by the attacks north and
south OF the SommC. have succeeded
in gaining a foOthold in the Dam
loup battery, which has been bone
of contention for days past, and in the
French line in the Fumin wood on the
right bank of the Meuse. At other
points the GermGns are carrying ou.
a strong offensive.
The French army under Gen. Foch
has moved up in the southern section
OF the Somme until it now holds the
dominating hills around Pcronne a
town which has been strongly forti-
fled by the Germ;ns and the posses
sion of which they are likely to con-
test with the utmost determination.
The British have retaken Contal-
maison and are again in control of
nearly the entire extent of Trones
wood and Mametz wood. There has
been desperate fighting in both sect
tors for several days past.
On the Russian front the Stockhod
sector is the central point of the
Russian advance. The Germans have
brought up strong reinforcements and
artillery to oppose the Russians who
now are within twenty miles of 10.

SEVENTH EPISODE
"THE HOODED HELPER"

Margery Golden's serenely self
viiled Aunt Agatha disliked animals
almost as much as she disliked mys
teries. And about her tranquil Ce.
dar home she felt were transpiring
events altogether too inexplicable to
remain long to her liking.
So when Hannah, the plump but less
predetermined caretaker of that
erstwhile abode of tranquility, trem.
ulously announced that stranger in
a yellow mask had left a bright-col-
ored parrot, answering to the name of
Tito, at the door for Miss Margery,
the bird in question was viewed with
open disfavor, and Margery was sub
jected to many disturbing interroga-
tions.
None Of the girls answers proving
satisfactory, however, her firm-willed
maiden aunt proposed that they pro-
coed with their interrupted game of
Preference" But green parrots In
stinct and enigmstic cry of Look
out for the Iron Claw" proved in no
way consistent with so tranquilising
game, and the owner of the house
finally and firmly commanded the de-
parting Hannah, who "slept out" to
carry the disturbing creature of to
her own cottage for the night.
This Hannah did. with much num-
bling. and deposited it in her chicken
coop.
There Tito would have spent quiet |
and uneventful night, in all likelihood,
had not certain mildly-predacious |
negress answering to the name of |
Jemima Watson, returned all but |
empty-handed to her suburban home.
Fer one Of the 6y-products OF this /
dusky lady's activities as scrub
woman was the gathering of those
trif1es which find their way to the
waste baskets and refuse cans of Of

on this occasion, was a half portion
of a time-yellowed code chart and
map, which had blown from the dizzy
balcony of the Central Tower building.

man in the mask, preferring to leave
that peaceful game undisturbed, stole
quietly in through the back of the
house, locked himself in a small room
above stairs, and there adroitly but
quickly made facsimile of the map,
Before that map could be completed
though, strange events were already
transporting directly beneath where he
sat. For Margery Golden, glancing IN
from her game, stared idly into the
old-fashioned mirror of bevel plate
facing her from the opposite wall.
And peering In at the window reflect
ed in that mirror she saw a bearded
face scanned with an un1nistakable
scar
she did not scream aloud as her
first impulse had prompted, but she
sat staring down at her cards, trying
to study out the dilemma which con-
fronted her. For the face she had
seen was Legar's.
The move she quietly decided upon
was " Gail the strangely retfcent

started for the garage. She watched
him as he stepped out into the dark |
ness. Then the bear-skinned figure
became the center of strange and I'M |
looked-for activities, for it was plain
that several men, lurking there in the
darkness, had sprung upon him. 1t
was equally plain that they lost little
line in overpowering him, for before
he startled women could rise from

nonchalantly about, crossed to a door
swung 1t wide, and saw that it opened
into closet.
Throw that grizzly in here until he
learns how to keep quiet!" was theil
leaders crisp command.
And now, my girl, guess it's your
turn again!" was his next sinister ex
clamation.
At the same moment that these
| words were spoken still another unex
pected intruder entere the room
Only this time 1t was the oddly inter.
ruptive figure of that man of mystery
known as the Laughing Mask.
Not a move from any man herei"
he cried out as he faced that threaten
ing circle, gun In hand.
It was Legar himself who stepped
back pace or two, closely watching
the automatic.
Before we start any shooting
around here the Laughing Mask
calmly suggested, Il want just word
OF two, Legar, with you. know what
you're after. You want Golden's por-
ton Of Windward Island chart.
Well, l have that chart, and l have it
with me. But there is no reason why
women should be dragged into this
fight. So the first thing you have to
do, II you want that chart, is to al
low Margery Golden and her mother
here to return quietly to the city with
my chauffeur, and return tonight"
Legar's lip curled.
And then you'll as quietly hand
me over the paper, l suppose?" he
scoffed.
III hand you over the paper"
agreed the Laughing Mask, for above
all things he knew it was necessary
to play for time.
The gun and the map together"
was the prompt demand.
And then what?" inquired the
Laughing Mask.
Then you wait in this closet until
make sure it's the map I've got" an
nounced the audacious Legar.
Il await your decision, gentlemen,

nounced the latter as he stepped into
the closet.
Quick as shot Legar shut and
locked that door.

ISL he announced as he darted across
the room to the green-shaded lamp
and placed the sheet of yellow paper
Town on the card table close beside a
second piece which he had already
irawn from his pocket.
"By God, I've got it," exulted Legar.
Let out that driver in the bear
