that nothing short OF quart OF three

showed no signs or returning from

to distinction lay in the tremendous

Legar was not q coward. Yet as he

black casket beside him, he found that

AT the same moment that he spoke

what seemed TO be a black metal
watch case swung forward. And as
that object which 80 closely resembled
a black watch hurtled through the air.
Legar flung himself nat on his face
along the vault flooring. Then the
black watch struck.
The next moment the walls OF that
ponderous structure OF marble and
sandstone seemingly built TO defy time
itself. lifted bodily in the air. like the
hull OF a torpedoed dreadnaught
Then. following the roar and rumble
OF that vast defamation, came the mo-

That ominous silence. however, last
ed only for few seconds. Out OF II
arose mufied calls and thin cries for
help. followed by answering shouts
from many different points In the
darkness as rescuing hands set to
work on the ruins
And out OF those ruins, while this
work was going on, emerged two
bruised and tattered figures strangely
divergent In appearances. The first
figure, worming its way out through
the interstices OF crumbled rock and
cement, as cautiously and as silently
as wounded blacksnake might crawl
from a cave. bore an iron claw at the

Thence he took up his fiashlight, and
pressing close TO the collins side,
stood studying the pallid face that lay
surrounded by it's even more pallid
drapery OF white satin.
He stared at that pallid face long
and intently He stared at II with stu.
dious and narrowing eyes. Then he
did a strange and an inexplicable
thing.
Lifting his manned right arm that
ended in its shank OF steel, he brought
II down with crash on the glass

striking a human head OF flesh and
bone, crashed down through a thin
shell OF fiber and tinted wax.
Legar. focusing his light on that
shattered mask. emitted a short bark
OF triumph as the meaning OF II all
came home to him. He leaned for
several minutes over the violated cas-.
ket. staring at II with insolent yet alb
stracted eyes. bordering Just what
move could lie beyond so intricately en-.

promptly and more directly than he
had anticipated. For as he stood
there, turning a piece OF the wax-cov.
cred tissue meditatively over in his
fingers. the electric bulbs that strung
the mausoleum roof broke into sudden
light. From different quarters OF that
shadowy building, at the same time,
stepped a group OF hidden officers,
headed by David Manley himself.
So quickly and so quietly did that
transformation take place. indeed
that the man leaning over the casket
had neither time nor chance 20 change
his position. He merely bllnked a lit.

Tho Lake OF Fire.

Tho Lake Of Fire.
Legar, lucky as his escape had been,
knew that his margin OF safety was
still too narrow for much immediate
comfort of either mind or body So
he crawled away as best he could,
nursing his strength when he came TO
cover and going on again when some
passing light showed that cover to be
none too dense But he did not give
up until he had reached higher
ground. There he was able to hide
himself in tAicket and rest for an
hour or two
But to remain In that neighborhood
until morning he knew. would be out
OF the question. About that whole
suspected area. he felt. the police
would surely throw a Gordon, and the
resource OF disguise was no longer at
his disposal. Already from where he
lay, he could see dozens OF moving
lamps OF workers about the mauso-
leum ruins. He could also see the
glow OF a powerful padr OF headlights.
