man in the mask, preferring to leave
that peaceful game undisturbed, stole
quietly In through the back of the
house. locked himself In Q small room

quickly made . fac-simile OF the map.
Before that map could be completed
though, strange events were already

from her game, stared idly into the

face scanned with an unmistakable
scar.
She did not scream aloud. as her
first impulse had prompted, but she
sat staring down at her cards. trying
to study out the dilemma which con.
fronted her. For the face she had
seen was Legar's.
The move she quietly decided upon
was to call the strangely reticent
chauffeur of her strangely elusive de-
liverer and ask him to make ready for
an immediate flight to the city. She
watched that chauffeur as no threw

started for the garage. She watched
him as he stepped out into the dark
ness. Then the bear-skinned figure
became the center of strange and un-
looked-for activities. for It was plain
that several men. lurking there in the
darkness, had sprung upon him. It
was equally plain that they lost little
time in overpowering him, for before
the startled women could rise from
the card table they found that home
Of peace invaded by a group of au-
dacious-eyed rufians headed by Le-
gar himself.
The latter bowed ironically to the
white-faced girl as he confronted her.
His advance towards her, though, was
interrupted by the suddenly renewed
struggles of the chauffeur, who, as he
tried to break away from his captors,
called loudly for help. Legar. looking

into a closet.
Throw that grizzly in here until he

leaders crisp command.

clamation.

words were spoken still another unex-

he cried out as he faced that threaten

the automatic.

calmly suggested, Il want just word

scoffed.
