FOURTEENTH EPISODE
The Plunge for Life.

A strange mood of happiness. as un-
seemed to have taken possession of
Margery Golden. A less timorous light
shone from the depths of her pool
brown eyes. At all times of the day,
too, she could be heard singing about
the house.
This wayward blitheness of spirit
was something more than a puzzle to
her heavy-browed father, who found
little in the situation Immediately con-
fronting him to cause him any undue
lightness of heart. For that situation
had unexpectedly taken on the form
of defeat.
After all Jules Legar's campaign for
the possession of that pregnant scrap
of parchment which carried the key
to the secret of the lost treasure of
Windward island, the long-fought-for
document had suddenly disappeared
from the Golden vault And all evil
dence pointed to the fact that it was
the Laughing Mask who had stolen
the chart and cipher code from the
safe.

Where was he found?"
Just where you'd least expect a
man of that character to be found.
He's hiding in cave in the Hudson
Palisades, not ten miles from where
we're sitting at the moment, just above
Coleman's village. And the fact he's
ducked to a Malina like that bears

of the cliff. And as the minions of

wild scramble up the rockledges.
quick encounters and combats, blows
and counterblows, the impact of ash
night-sticks on resounding skulls, the
capitulating cry of half-stunned cap
tives.
But Legar fought, backed close
against the rock, with the ferocity of
a wildcat holding off every attack and
with his failing iron claw sweeping
back every assailant. Then, swing
ing about, he leaped up the cliff-face,
springing from rock to rock with the
agility of mountain goat.
At the top of the cliff, when Enoch
Golden himself, side by side with the
police captain. attempted to bar that
fight, the fugitive bowIed over those
two rotund figures and bolted north
ward along the topmost ridge of the
cliff, heading for the timber not more
than hundred yards away.

recovering their wind and burning
with the indignities to which they
had been subjected. had caught sight
of the fugitive and started in pursuit.
They ran well, and they ran deter
minedly. Legar, realizing that they
were gaining on him, and further real
izing that he could not keep up his
gait for long, veered suddenly toward
the river, where road-builders' tool
shed stood at the extreme end of a
rock-cut along the cliff-tnD. Through
the doorway OF this shed he darted,
with his two pursuers, now Joined by

hind him.

and stared out. Below him lay the
Hudson. Crouching low, he leaped
out into space and then dropped like a
plummet to the river below.
The Octopus Bomb.
Margery faced the supreme dilemma
of her life.
The girl walked slowly to the still
open window and gazed out, but the

mental problem that engrossed her
preoccupied her attention to the exclu-
sion of everything else. Then voice
behind her spoke:
"Can you see any of them?"
Margery turned to the man in the
yellow mask, who stood close behind
her.
No" said Margery, in answer to his
question. I'VE have few minutes
grace. Do you think it surely the
wisest thing to do; do you think it nee
essary beyond all doubt that go away
with you? l know you must realize
what that must mean to mel can

this. And l had to get from your fa-
ther's vault the thing that will clear
me of some, at least, of the crimes Le-
gar has fastened upon me-Legar's
confession"
Then. come, let us hurry" said
Margery.
The two of them then stole quietly
down through the shadowy house to
the library
The Laughing Mask went swiftly to
the vault and in a moment its heavy
door swung open. But the next min
ute a tingle of alarm swept through
Margery's body, for the call bell of the
telephone on the rosewood desk sud-
denly rang through the room. By this
time the Laughing Mask was within
the vault, but the shrill of that bell
brought him out into the room.
Don't answer It'll" warned the girl.
But Wilson or another of the serv-
ants will surely come to answer it." ex-
planned the Laughing Mask as he
moved toward the only door that he
had not locked on entering the library.
"The confession-have you got it?"
asked Margery, not needing what he
had said. SO great was the tension of
her mind.

piled the Laughing Mask.
Then I'll shut the vault door," she
said.

With an oddly birdlike movement of
the head the girl stopped and stared in
tently at his figure. clearly outlined
against the dark folds OF the portieres
behind him. Then. instead of locking
the vault door, she took four swift
steps to the heavily carved teakwood
table to her right. In another moment
she had caught up a Roman lamp of
soIidly cast bronze and, with all her
strength, hurled it at the swaying por-
tiere behind him. "Legar!" was her
tered shrill cry of warning.
1t was time. From behind one of
the folds of the portiere she had
glimpsed an iron claw at the end OF a
preternaturally long arm. And as this
iron claw was lifted high in the air she
cried out as she caught sight of the
CLINT of a naked steel knife blade
Her warning was sufficient. Lightly
the Laughing Mask leaped to one side.
By this time Legar was in the room
itself, and as he advanced he drew
a revolver from his pocket.
But the man in the mask was more
agile than his enemy. He swung
Margery about in a twinkling and
whisked her back to the vault, where
with one tug of his free hand he
swung the vault door open. Legar fired,
but the bullet ricocheted harmlessly
against the open safe front of steel.
Father keeps a navy revolver in the
coin drawer of the vault here" whis-
pered Margery as the man in the mask
pushed her more deeply into the
shadow of the protecting door.
At the moment that the Laughing
Mask swung about and tugged open
the coin drawer Wilson and a round
eyed footman. having heard the sound
of the shot and having previously
failed to get any answer to the tele-
phone, came running to the library
door. But before they could open that
door Legar, realizing that his time was
short, had taken matters into his own
hands. Charging bodily against the
still half-open vault door, he swung it
shut upon the Laughing Mask and
Margery before they had time to
realize his intent. Then Legar threw
The Elbert County tribune., 1916-09-01

on the lock, spun the dial and wheeled
around to cover the two white-faced
and gaping servants with his
revolver.
With a flourish of his revolver he
waved them to the door and would
have reached it himself had he not
at that moment heard the entrance
door of the Golden mansion flung open
and the noise of many feet sounding
on the stairs minute later.
Slamming the room door shut upon
Wilson and the footman, Legar, his
look of triumph gone from his features,
stared frantically around the room. He
dashed to a Perugian panel screen of
ancient design, its panels fashioned in
sixteenth century tapestry, and
crouched behind 1t. his revolver still
in his hand.
AS Legar found this precarious hid
ing place, the door of the room
opened and Enoch Golden entered
amid clatter of hurrying feet and a
babble of voices. Wilson, for the third
time. tried to explain to his master
what had happened.
MdrBery. MY uauSUteT smut up IN
the vault, you say, Wilson, cried her
father.
Yes, sir, shut up in there with the

Golden strobe over to the vault door.
| His face was pale and he breathed
hard as he stopped over the lock dial.
The man in the yellow mask, If he
felt any fear for the outcome of this
his most precarious adventure among
the innumerable strange predicaments
that his self-appointed guardianship of
Margery Golden had flung him into,
gave expression to none. He reassured
her gently and chided her, even, for
her seeming lack of confidence in him.
Have you forgotten, my dear, that

whispered to her. THAT alone means

he's as big a crook as this Iron Claw
himself. For honest men don't crawl
into river caves!"
Golden was about to reply in the af-
firmative to this self-obvious statement
when he was interrupted by the en-
trance of his daughter.
But suppose our fugitive" said
the screne-eyed girl as she smiled
down on the somewhat startled police
captain, had enemies who seemed at
the moment stronger than he was and
at the same time found himself In pos
session of something which it was es-
sential that he should guard? Wouldn't
1t seem natural for him to go where
he'd be least likely to be found?"

stolidly up at her.

The Laughing Mask, too, had beat

beyond the Golden grounds and down
the nearest street to the trolley line
AS he reached the tracks a car, Just

With the large tank for storing
the oil, the city will be able to buy
fuel at the very lowest market price
and by purchasing in large quantities
will affect a considerable saving.
Addition Being Built.
An addition is being built to the
present light plant to house the new
unit which will arrive in the city
about February Is. The foun.
dation is already in place and it is
estimated that about 80 days will be
necessary to complete the installation
of the unit and get it ready for active
service. Some idea Of the size of the
new engine may be had from the fact
that it weighs 10000 pounds.
With the new unit in operation
Glasgow will have one of the most
efficient and up-to-date electrica
lighting plants in the state, and with
the new luminous arc lights, which
now keep the city streets bright on
the darkest nights, it will be sys-
tenn to which any citizen may point

of the city few years ago, but, as
the city grew and the demands for
more "juice" became noticeable, an
extra unit was installed to handle
the increased output. But there were
no bounds to the city's development
and soon the two units were being
taxed to their capacity TO take care
of the electrical demands of the city.
With the advent Of day current, the
plant was forced to carry an even
greater load. and the installation of
an additional engine to meet the de-
mands became a necessity.
City Bonds Sold.
After the usual method of pro-
cedure, the taxpayers of the city
voted to issue bonds to purchase the
additional lighting unit. The bonds
were sold and the contract awarded
for the engine which, when installed,
will give Glasgow light plant of the
very highest efficiency. The engine
that was purchased is of the Diesel,

fact that the economy is better sus-
tanned after considerable period of
operation than with steam driven
plants.
Cost Cut Down.

Cost Cut Down.
The United States produces annu-
ally over 2OO,OOO,OOO barrels of crude
oil, or two-thirds Of the worlds pro-
duction, and even with the long
freight haul from Wyoming or south
ern Montana, and even at the present
advanced prices for this commodity,
the new plant will be operated at one
half of the cost of operating the
present steam plant. Should oil be
found in the immediate vicinity of
Glasgow, the prices of current would
be about one-fifth of the present
prices. Although the cost of INSTALL
ing the new unit is a big item, the
saving to the users of electricity will
more than offset it.
The entire equipment for the new
unit is being furnished by the Allis-
Chalmers company of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. While there are a great
many companies making Diesel en-
