sheltering bowl and stepped noise
lessly back to the library. The shat
tered glass OF the window, whence
Legar had made his escape, met his
eye. The route that Legar had taken
he could take: indeed, he must take
there was no other.
Silently the Laughing Mask lifted
the window and climbed over the sill.
In another moment he had leaped to
the ground below. But he had not
reckoned upon tho quick discourage
ment that overtakes that limp arm
of the law known as a central ONCE
detective. The half dozen OF the type,
with their chief, who had pursued
Legar when their revolvers failed to
stop him. had quickly given up the
chase. Legar made for tho thick
hedge on the Golden estate when once
he had outdistanced his pursuers and
then he had found an almost i'm
penetrable thicket. There he waited.
revolver in hand. but the detectives
had lost the trail. Not twenty yards
from Legar, the detectives gathered
at a council Of confusion. And at last
the captain said:
well, wen get the other one any
how"
And with that, the party Of detec-
tives started back to the Golden
mansion. They were walking briskly,
when the captain quickly motioned
to his men to hug the wall Of the
house. Something at the shattered
window Of the library had caught his
attention. 1t was a mans back. The
man was astride the window sill. The
captain then recognized the hat of the
Laughing Mask. The captain halted
his men, who were still some fifty
feet from the window. The Laughing
Mask Strengthened up as he reached
the ground beneath the window, and,
for an instant. again he faced his
enemies But in a flash, he turned
and darted around the corner of the
house.
Again he doubled around the third
side of the house and then came to
where he had started. The Laughing
Mask knew well the psychology of the
central office. 1t was a boys ruse
he had employed. but his estimate Of
central office brains proved to be the
correct one.
When the captain and his men
reached the FIRST house corner, they
stopped to search the vista down the
second house wall. Already the
Laughing Mask was around the next
corner and it did not dawn on the
detectives that the man they were
hunting would do anything but make
for the hedge as Legar had done.
As fact. Legar was still where he
had eluded pursuit. He knew he had
once more escaped ana q look Of
satisfaction had stolen over his tea
