telephone circuits to the basement and
there severed the wires with a pair of
scissors purloined for the purpose
from Mile. Celestine's workbag. Then,
watching his chance, he carefully
penned a note, wording it as Legar
had duly instructed him to do. Then
he returned to the neighborhood of the
library door. with his ferretlike alert
ness masked under his customary i'm
mobility Of face.
1t was not until his restless master
discovered the telephone wires to be
dead. and went storming through the
house to determine the reason for this
misadventure, that Wrench realized
his chance had come. Slipping into
the deserted library on the pretext of
adjusting the rugs, he stopped before
the rosewood table, hesitated a mo-
ment, and then lifted the heavily
chased lid of Golden's cigar case and
dropped the note inside. A moment
later he had left the room, unobserved
and unsupported.
1t did not take many minutes of
waiting to confirm the wisdom of
Wrench's movement. For Enoch Gold
en-, striding restlessly back into his
library, sank with a sigh of WEAKNESS
into the armchair beside the rosewood
table. For moment or two he stared
abstractedly and unhappily about him.
Then, with still another sigh. he
reached out and lifted the heavily
chased lid of silver. His fingers, in
stead of coming in contact with a per-
fecto corseted in gold, rustled against
sheet of paper. Automatically he
picked it up and unfolded it.
Written on that mysterious sheet he
found the following:

Silently the beaten man stared down
at this strange missive. Slowly as he
did so, the last of hie once iron will
melted away.
He rose heavily from his chair and
crossed to the vault. From this vault
he took the map, the time-yellowed
square of MANILA about which SO many
of the sorrows and troubles of all his
life seemed to revolve. Then, calling
for his hat and coat and ordering a
car. he tremblingly made ready for his
midnight visit of capitulation to the
Central Tower building.

precaution there remained q periious

SIXTH EPISODE
THE SPOTTED WARNING

Enoch Golden had never formed the
habit of taking others into his conf
dence. And when events came into
his life which seemed to leave him
more and more dependent on his i'm
mediate associates he betrayed an oc-
.casional tendency to focus his neb-
ulous resentment against that situa-
Ftion on the exasperatingly imperturb-
able figure of David Manley.
Young man." he said, fixing his Sec
Tetary with a steely eye, 81 came to
this decision twenty long years ago,
and nothing is going to change 1t. That
woman was sent from my home, and
tshe will never enter it again"
Manley, looking down at the note
still held in his hand. thought of the
troubled and tear-stained face of the
girl who had so recently chung to his
arm and asked him to plead her cause.
And the memory of Margery Golden
brought fresh courage to him.
But this woman who was once your
own wife is only asking for glimpse
of her own daughter again. Surely
that is asking little enough"
And l repeat that I won't allow 1t.

dangers that woman's wrong surround

Have you?" interrupted Manley, de-
1iberately meeting the older mans
stare.
ANY retort the older man was about
to utter remained unspoken, for at
that moment a soft-treading footman
entered the room and crossed to the
desk with a salver of mail in his hand.
Manley, looking up, eyed that servant
resentfully, and with touch of sus-
picion. This intruder, he promptly
surmised, was a new figure in the
household retinue.
BE so good as to knock when you
enter this ROOM" was the young secre-
tarys sharp command.
Very good, sir" answered the new
footman, scarcely raising his eyes.
'Hh!" Golden scoffed, looking up
from the letter which he had just
opened. Since you're so ready to ask
favors, here's another friend to ask
them for. Here's the captain of the
circle you're so ready to champion!
But instead of asking favors you see,
he demands them"
He tossed the folded sheet angrily
across the desk top. Manley took 1t
up and read 1t.
"Your happiness hangs on one small
scrap of paper. That paper Is the
portion of the Windward island chart
which you still hold. Unless this Is
delivered to me, and delivered as
have already directed, the Spotted
Warning will come to your daughter

this strange note.

MIRROR ROUTS A WILD HOG
Animal Is Scared by Reflection Of
Glass in West Virginia
Home.

Elkins, w. Va.-Sanford Phillips.
Jr., two years old, owes his life to the
fear of wild hogs for their own like
ness when reflected from a mirror.
Wild hogs which exist in the noun
tains of Randolph county came down
into the foothills and charged into the
home of Sanford Phillips, upsetting
furniture and attacking Phillips two
year-old son.
The animals had torn nearly all the
clothing from the child when he ran
into a corner, where a big mirror
hung. The hogs followed, but soon
stopped when they beheld their like
ness in the big glass. Only a second
did they hesitate, however, then
turned, plunging from the house back
up the mountainside. The child was
only slightly injured.

smiled again, more happily, as she mad
helped the girl into softly-lighted
room and gently told her that she
must rest. And there had been some
thing ineffably soothing in the quiet
going and coming of that quiet-eyed
woman, before sleep brought relief to
the shaken and throbbing body on the
ivory-white bed.
The Tower Of Destiny.
Enoch Golden, anxious and worm
out, sat waiting for some further word
as to the fate of his daughter Margery
Nothing had come to him since Trains
startling message of the collision and
the even more startling news of the
girls mysterious disappearance. Un-
willing as Golden was to surrender to
despair, he felt more and more that
Legar. and Legar alone, was respon-
sible for this latest catastrophe.
Still again he hoarsely demanded
long -distance, and still again he called
for his sisters house at Cedarton.
That quiet-voiced sister, for years all
but a stranger to her grim and gran
ite-willed brother, told him for the
third time that they had as yet had no
news of Margery. David Manley. she
reported, had been there with her. had
been there, indeed, both once in the
afternoon and once in the evening, but
for some reason, which the quiet
voiced woman could not quite compre-
bend, had abruptly and excitedly taken
his departure.
These words brought small consola-
ton to Golden. And he would have
caught even less consolation from a
talk taking place at almost the same
moment over the servants telephone
below stairs. Part OF that guarded
conversation was carried on by
Wrench, the new footman, and much
of it had to do with the very situation
so disturbing the aged millionaire in
the room above. For it was Legar ex-
plaining that a masked stranger at the
last moment had snatched the girl
from their hands and had apparently
carried her off to some hiding place
Of his own. This was followed by the
command to deliver still another mes
sage to Enoch Golden. with the final
warning that every wire leading into
the Golden house must be cut as soon
as possible.
The new footman, in obedience to
these orders, quietly traced out the

ground into her sunny hair, with the
shoulder of her motor coat torn COM
pletely away and with the dull ache of
countless bruises on her numbed and
throbbing body.
What happened after that for all
time remained strangely like dream
to her. She remembered seeing Train
lying close beside his wrecked car,
with the blood trickling from his wrist
and staining his whip-cord uniform.
She remembered seeing other figures,
even more helpless looking. But most
of all she Remembered how one of these
figures, pulling himself together, had
slowly risen to his feet. AS he did so
he turned half-stupidly about and
she saw that pallid yet triumphant
face she knew that it was Legar She
knew that he was confronting her, that
he was slowly but determinedly max
ing his way towards her. And she
knew that in another moment she

terruption taken place.
This interruption came in the form
of a flying roadster, with a masked
figure leaning low out from it's run
ming board as 1t swept down on them.
She remembered the sudden shout of
the men, the sudden clutch of the
strong hand as it caught at her while
the roadster swept by, the equally sud-
den pain through her bruised body as
she was swung safely up into the seat
of the onward swerving car. She re-

ing, as they danced and speeded on
along that lonely road. She remem-
bered turning in through a stone gate,
winding along an orderly gravel drive
way, stopping before a vine-bowered
bungalow. She remembered, as the
masked man at her side helped her in
through an ivory-white door, turning
dazedly to him and asking who he was
And she remembered the smile that
showed just beneath the fringe of the
yellow domino as he shook his head
and the sense of deprivation that
swept through her as she found her
self once more alone. Then from the
same door through which the Laugh.

"Margery, don't you know me? Don't
you remember your own mother?"
that quiet-eyed woman had asked as
she had taken her in her arms. And
as she stared up into that motherly
face, bent so close over her own, she
had said, with gasp Of bewilderment.
Are you-you the Laughing Mask?"
But her mother, she remembered. had
smiled, almost sorrowfully, and had
put finger to her lips. And she had

shared by Train, for the car was again

past the man with the crimson ensign
of warning, swept past him so close
that its fender-end slapped against the
flagstick itself as he repeated his lusty
shout of command. But that COM

a little dizzy now with the sheer
drunkenness of speed.
"Stop?" Knocked the driver as he
raced on. I'm going to stop for moth

Yet that valiant boast was little
more than the articulation of mortal
pride so often preluding mortal disas-

that lonely stretch of roadway they
could already see a second car. The
point about this car that worried Train
was that it was not approaching them
