The next moment the man with his
arm In sling had thrown the band
age aside and was running towards
the window that opened on the fire

On that narrow ledge OF sheet-metal
wedged In between the window sash
and the escape railing, terrific com

ing up the narrow metal stairway
and all the attention of the man in
the mask had to be directed towards
his new adversary.
It was while countering tho. on
slaught of this second enemy that the
Laughing Mask became conscious of
still another point Of attack. For as
he fought there, on his knees, astride
the painting form Of Red Egan, an iron
claw reached viciously out over the
window sill behind him, and fixed it.

ment he was being hauled bodily In
through the open window.
Ready hands were there to take pos

Williamsburg Sadie, with her mouth
slightly agape, stood halfway between
the chair and the wall, watching the
man with the iron claw as he exulted
over his enemy. She watched Legar's
hand as it reached out to the mask OF
yellow cloth and tore 1t viciously from
the face which It had concealed.
Then a scream, short but high
pitched, burst from her startled lips
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1916-08-19

For what she stared at seemed more
like charnel-house cadaver than "a
human face.
And Legar drew back at the sight
of those loathsome features. He
backed slowly away, staring at that
face, until he came to the electric but
ton set in the wall. He reached out
to switch on the electrolier, for the
struggle on the fire-escape landing had
left curtain hanging half over the
window, and this made the light UNI
certain. But even as Legar lifted his
finger to the switch sudden knock
sounded on the door Of the ROOM,
Both Red Egan and the woman
turned mutely to Legar. And as they
looked. the knock was repeated, loud
er than before.
Lock him in that closet" was the
Iron Claws whispered command.
And throttle him at the first sound"
Legar, who had already crossed to
the door that opened into the hall.
waited there until the closet door had
been locked and shut.
He found a chambermaid standing
there.
rs there anything the matter, sir?"
she asked in genuine alarm.
"The matter? What should be the
matter?" inquired the sleepy-eyed oc-
cupant of the room.
II thought heard a scream, SIR"

relieved.

Thirteenth EPISODE
The Hidden Face.

Enoch Golden looked at the heavy
shadows about his daughters eyes.
Then he seated himself heavily in the
armchair which she had so abstract
edly turned about for him.
"Margery," he said with an effort
at sternness, ARE you still worrying
about that young Manley?"
For moment or two the girl re-

acknowledged. And she further dis

millionaire finally and stoutly as
severated.
"Then why has there been no word
OF him, no trace OF him, since the
night of that awful explosion"
This question, apparently. was not
an easy one to answer. But Enoch
Golden was not to be lightly dis
suaded from his task of consolation.

What's wrong?'
"Everything's wrong! Old Golden
had bunch of flatties in his house,
and that Laughing Mask boob
squealed on me to the bunch. So
had to beat It,"
Legar swung about on her.
"And you beat it straight here, in
open daylight, leaving a paper-chase
trail at your heels." There was rage
in his voice.
Il tell you left no trail. I've got
my own scalp to take care Of. And II
I've taken a chance to beat it up here

"Then. for the love Of heaven, wom-

verified into something repellant to the
eye.
