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 figure quite
as stealthy as his own, figure that
wore a 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 1t had first appeared,
pinned ON oblong paper. Stealing up
to 1t, Legar read:
Enoch Golden: You have proved a
disappointment to me. Despite my
warnings, you still Cypress the poor
and abuse your power. Your daugh-
ter has been saved from tho clutches
Of Legar, and at the proper time will
DO produced. But that time will not
come 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
postscript:
AZ slight sign Of my disapproval,
am appropriating 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-

riedly summoned for conference.
II tell you. Sibley." said the man OF
millions. something has to be done.
and done soon. I'm surrounded by ene-
mics ! can't run down. enemies can't
even understand. In the first place,
there's this man in a mask stalking
through my house and pinning threats
to my doorpanels. Then"
'Wait,' cut In the man of law. did
anyone actually see this man Of the
mask?"
Yes. Wilson, my butler, came face
to face with him as he stepped out of
a passageway. Then, when my secre-
tary, Manley. started in pursuit of the
intruder, instead of finding stranger
In this fool mask, he found his way
blocked by girl, girl in q cloak,
who seemed to come there out of thin
air. And that girl, sir, turned out
to be my own daughter, my own
daughter In some miraculous way res
cued from Legar."
Brought there by the man in the
mask"
Yes, brought there by him. So
she asserts. Yet this stranger, who
brings me back the one thing precious
in my life, on the same day assumes
to criticize my conduct and threatens
to rob me of my money"
But that threat, as I've already
pointed out, is foolish. Your money
has all the protection that steel and
civilization can surround it with. 1t
lies in the vaults of the Third National
bank"
"But I tell you am surrounded by
enemies, by unknown enemies of great
skill and daring. That has already
been proved. And while they can
never make me cover, they have at
least made me cautious"
II guess we'd better all go down to
the Third National and make sure
they're net putting their gold and
notes out on the windowsills for the
first crook that c.mes along to carry
off," said the lawyer.
President Stcningtcn of the Third
National received them in his private
office and learned from Sibley the
reason of his visit. That official, in
fact, was an active sharer in the mere
dulity Of the old lawyer. He quietly
touched a bell, sent for uniformed at
tendant and instructed that attendant

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 a
sense of assurance to Enoch Golden
himself.
A certain one-armed criminal, new
ertheless, was at that precise rlcment
very busily engaged in preparing for
his assault on this Gibraltar of gold
so proudly regarded as impregnable.
Two worknien in the uniform OF Gen.
eral Electric employees. exploring a
section of abandoned cable gallery,
were busily engaged In charging a
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 o great city 30 ceaselessly ebbed and
flowed. From manhole opening into
this gallery was quietly passed a huge
cylinder of iron capped by drum of
zinc having q hinged cover. The tvs
subterranean workers had been
warned to handle the cylinder with the
utmost care. And this they did, know
ing full well 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 henchIaen

rected his attention to the much more
critical task Of tracing the signature,
Henry H. Stonington, on a typewriter
sheet bearing the embossed imprint
of the Third National.
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 q jointed
bamboo pole, was to verify the time
at which the decorating clock had
been set, advise his colleagues, and
take up his position in the window Of
building commanding view Of the
great granite Fashioned bank itself.
He consulted his watch from time

clear a way through the crowd. For
this was not the intrusion of mere Gu
riosity seekers. That much the cap
tain in charge OF the police lines
promptly discovered when he was on
the point of ordering both truck and
attendants out Of the forbidden terri
tory. For the cool-eyed nan in COM
mand of that truck had come we'll

the astonished hand CT the police off,
cial he thrust an MISUNDERSTANDING
document from the president Of the
Third National himself: \
This letter of introduction read:
To tho Officials In CHARGE: Act
Ing on an emergency decision Of our
directors, herewith authorize tho
agents Of the Western National Bank
to take possession Of and remove the
contents of Third National Bank vaults
to the vaults Of tho Western National.

Yours very truly,
JOHN ELIOT SToNINGToN,
President.
At the same time that the police
captain, acting On this peremptory or
der, was clearing a path to the neigh
borhood of the still smoking vaults,
Enoch Golden, with Margory and Man
ley at his side, was fighting to break
through those jealousy guarded fire
lines. And at the sight OF the motor
truck and the Western National at.
tendants his antics became even more
frenzied than before.
Il tell you I've got to get in therel"
he shouted to the apathetic patrolman
holding him back.
YES" agreed the patrolman, ''oi
course you'd like to get in there"
But tell you I'm Enoch Golden,
was the financier's frantic cry.

It was young Manley himself, who
watching his chance. suddenly slipped
in through the lines and gained the
side of the busy captain before he
could be stopped. For already the

was under way"
