two of his followers, in the meantime,
entered Aimick's studio on the pre-
tense of being fire marshals inspec-
tor, caught the artist off his guard,
and carried him bound and gagged and
helpless to one of the small back
rooms of the studio building.
Peggy herself, before starting out
in answer to that summons, was still
somewhat uneasy in mind over recent
events. So she left word with her
father to call for her not later than
eleven o'clock.
But more than Dan O'Mara called
for his daughter that night, for ten
minutes after her departure from the
cottage Margery Golden's limousine
drew up at the door. Margery's eyes
widened when O'Mara explained the
reason of his daughters absence from
home.
But an artist like Frank Aimick
would never be able to work at night"
she argued, with growing alarm. He
must have daylight for working in
color"
Dan O'Mara turned to the table at
his side.
Here's his message, plain as day,
written in his own handwritin'," was
the puzzled workman's only explana-
ton.
Margery took the message in her
hand and studied it. Then her color
faded little.
THAT is not Frank Aimick's writ
ing" she suddenly announced.
1--WE must get to that studio as fast
as my car can carry us.
Peggy O'Mara, in the meantime,
was being confronted by more than
one surprise. The first came with her
arrival at the Aimick studio, when
the stranger who opened the door in
response to her knock informed her
chat the artist was out, but would re-
turn in minute or two. The Sec

of yet another man who sidled up to
the studio door and promptly locked
and barred it. But the greatest sur

standing before her.
She stood there, white Tipped, star
ing from one evil face to the other as
Legar's companions closed in about
her.
You're a fine bunch o. cradle
snatchers!" she finally and wrathfully
burst out at them, with the ultimate
and reckless anger of desperation in
her eyes. You're a grand army o
heroes, you are, to come five strong
agin' a girl like mel"
stop that brat!' commanded the
irate Legar. And there was a general
movement in the direction of the blaz-
ing-eyed girl.
There was one man in that group,
however, who did not join in that
movement. The reason for this lay
in the fact that at that moment he
happened to be looking up at the paint
ing of The Vigilante.'
He was about to reach for a heavy
easel-peg, to fling at the canvas, when
he suddenly Strengthened up. clapped
a hand to his shoulder, and turned
about. There was look of mingled
wonder and incredulity on his face.
Then he slowly drew from the fleshy
part of his upper arm small steel
dart, little bigger than a knitting
needle.
The next moment second man,
moving across the room to catch up a
curtain cord with which to tie the
captured girl, felt sudden sting in
his hip, stopped abruptly and point
ed with a shout of anger toward the
canvas above the mantel.
Still another of Legar's followers,
not realizing the meaning of that cry,
stepped forward and stared at the
painting. Out of the barrel-end of the
painted rifle, as he did so. shot still
another dart which buried itself in his
neck.
9Th darts" he mumbled, as thick
ly as a drunken man might. 9TH
darts re drugged!"
But even before those mumbled
words were spoken the swarthy-
skinned Mauki, trying to hold the still
struggling Peggy O'Mara down on
divan, felt a sharp pain above his
shoulderblade, turned about, and saw
Legar run across the room and catch
up the heavy brass fire tongs from be-
side the mantel end.

Legar, however, was no longer in
need of that warning. Standing to
one side of the mantel, close beside
the wall, he attacked the huge can

that Peggy O'Mara, realizing that

Out from behind that tattered can

yellow mask, tossing to one side a
slender blowpipe as he came. Before
he could regain his feet after that hur-
ried leap from the mantel shelf, Legar
himself had dropped the fire tongs and
whipped a revolver from his pocket
This he leveled directly at the body
Of the Laughing Mask. But before
he could pull the trigger, Peggy's
tabouret struck against his out

up in the air.
By this time the Laughing Mask

stared helplessly about the disman,
tied studio. Then the instinct of self
preservation reasserted itself. He ran
to the back of the room, dived into a
kitchenette, found a small door in it's
wall, swung it open, discovered a
dumb-waiter shaft in front of him, and
escaped to the street.
The Corridors of Dread.
Margery Golden, as she sat in the
taxicab which carried her hOmeward,
was cOmforted by the thought that she
had at least saved the life of a factory
girl to whom she stood indebted for
her own escape from death. The
further thought that she had sent Dan
OMara and his exhausted daughter
safely home in her own luxurious
limousine even recOnciled her to the
somewhat stuffy-aired public convey
ance in which she found herself. She
blinked meditatively out at the back
of the heavy faced driver so sullenly
and yet so adroitly plotting her
through the tangle of traffic. Then the
abstraction suddenly went from her
eyes and the listlessness from her
pose. For, from the back window of
the red-wheeled taxicab Immediately
in front of her she caught sight of
peering face. And it took no second
glance to tell her that it was the

self.
The next moment Margery was
shouting to her sullen-faced driver.
Follow that red-wheeled taxi" she
told him, pointing down the side
street. Keep within sight Of it, what
ever happens!"
Soon they had left the city well be-
hind them and were in that twilight
zone which is neither quite rural nor
quite urban. But Margery, the mo-
ment she saw the red-wheeled taxicab
come to a stop, commanded her driver
to draw in under the shadow of a
dense row of catalpa trees. There,
from the running board of her car,
she beheld Legar step out on the road,
pay his chauffeur, and stand looking
after the departing taxicab until it dis
appeared from sight. Then he turned
about, pushed his way in through
tangle of shrubbery, and left the lone
ly roadside as empty as a desert trail.
Then the resolute browed young wo-
man turned to her chauffeur.

NOT THE STATE BUT HOMER IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR GREAT
MEADOWS REFORMATION.

Colorado gives ten days off of each
month of sentence for all work done
on honor and trust. New York has not
yet passed this law. Washington, where
the honor and trust system is also in ef-
feet, pays prison workers fifty cents Il
day for labor performed, the money
either going TO their families or, in the
case of single men, banking up against
the day of release New York filches the
industry of its prisoners, giving them
the large sum of so when discharged.

Gus gift is exhausted, what is the man

may commit identical crimes, yet one
will receive a year while the other

the other stern; one happens TO be feel

Homer dreams of law that will take
away the power OF judges to fix sem

will have the length Of their terms de-

Under such a law no prisoner would he
confined a day longer than necessary,
nor would one be released until his rec

fected
IL spite CT these obstacles interposed
by visonless Legislature, Homer plugs
away at his job of men-mending, hope
full that these fairer laws will yet be
brought about by continued knowledge
of the prison that is without walls, the
prison that is self-supporting, the pris-

At no point is there hint of sentl-

the fact that there has never been a riot,

Great Meadow houses desperadoes

is to be found at Great Meadow,
where William j. Homer works as war
den. And vet, although only seventy
five miles north Of Albany and within
six hours of New York, this amazing
adventure in humanity has been per-
mitted to go almost unnoticed. Through
out year of bitter clamor over the Sing
Sing experiments no intelligent infor-
nation was ever offered with respect to
the one penal institution that has made
every dream of betterment come true;
that stands as an absolute answer to the
lies of cruelty and prejudice.
It is largely the fault of Homer him
self. however. Instead of choosing to
deliver a message" he has preferred to
deliver the goods" For four years he
has STAYED on his job from early morn
