of that guarded conversation was car
ried on by Wrench, the new footman,
and much of it had to do with the very
situation so disturbing the aged millions
aire in the room above. For it was Lee
gar explaining that masked stranger
at the last moment had snatched the
girl from their hands and had apparent
ly 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
telephone circuits to the basement and
there severed the wires with 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 |
a sheet Of paper. Automatically he
picked it up and unfolded it.
Written on that mysterious sheet he
found the following:

stopping, the car swept past the maj

against the flagstick itself as he re
peated his lusty shout of command
But that command was more OF less
lost on Train, 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-
ter. For, bearing down on them along
that lonely stretch of roadway they
could already see second car. The
point about this car that worried Train
was that it was not approaching them
as well-behaved car should approach
a comrade vehicle, but vermiculated
drunkenly from one side of the road to
the other. Even Margery, as she
leaned forward, puzzling over these
strange movements, realized that peril
was involved in passing a vihicle so
uncertain of its course At the same
time, too, she could hear from far be-
hind her the prolonged and warning
cry of an auto horn, waiting disturb.

The next moment the two cars had
met, head-on.
There was a crash of metal and
glass, rending of honey-comb radia-
tors and coppered tenders.
What happened after that for all
time remained strangely like a dream
to Margory. She remembered seeing
Train lying close beside his wrecked
car, with the blood trickling from his
wrist and staining his whip-cord uni
form. 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 stared down at her. And the
she saw that pallid yet tri-
umphant face she knew that it was Lee
gar. She knew that he was confronting
her, that he was slowly but determin-
eddy making his way towards her And
she knew that in another moment she
would have been their prisoner again

SIXTH EPISODE
THE SPOTTED WARNING

Enoch Golden had never formed tn,
habit of taking others into his conf
dence. And when events came into
his life which seemed to leave hin
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
ton on the exasperatingly imperturb
able figure of David Manley.
Young man." he said, fixing his sec
Rotary with steely eye, II came to
this decision twenty long years ago,
and nothing is going to change it. That
woman was sent from my home, and
she 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 lie asking little enough"
And I repeat that l won't allow 1t.

dangers that woman's wrong surround
cd her with. l have saved her from"
Have you?" interrupted Manley de-
hberately meeting the older mans
stare.
Any retort the older man was about
to utter remained unBpoken, for at
that moment a soft-treading footman
entered the room and crossed to the
desk with 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 new figure in the
household retinue.

enter this ROOM" was the young secre-
tary's sharp command.
very good. sir" answered the new
footman. scarcely raising his eyes.
Hill" 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 it
up and read it.
"Your happiness hangs on one small
scrap Of paper. That paper Is the
portion Of tho WIndward island chart

and hand 1t to the man In the black
ulster who will be waiting there. Nc
trickery can succeed. And this IL your
last chance! JULES IEGAR."
Silently the beaten man stared down
at this strange missive. Slowly as he
did SO, the last of his 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 30 many
OF the SORROWS and troubles OF all his
life seemed to revolve. Then, calling
for his hat and coat and ordering q
car, he tremblingly made ready for his
midnight visit Of capitulation to the
Central Tower building.
While these events were taking
place, however, there was one member
Of the Golden household who remained
far from inactive. When David Man
ley so abruptly left a tranquil bunga
low at Cedarton and so stealthily
pushed his way through the shrubbery
surrounding that bungalow, it was be-
cause he had made the sudden dis.
covery that Legar himself was in the
neighborhood. Nor was 1t hard for
him to guess the reason for that mas
ter-criminaPs invasion Of those seques-
tered grounds. And Manley, promptly
deciding to stalk the stalker himself,
was rewarded by overhearing enough
OF Legar's plans, as the latter hurried
ly issued his instructions to two Of his
confederates near the roadside, to
realize the necessity Of at once get
ting in touch with Enoch Golden.
Whatever happened, he felt, 1t was his
duty to warn Margery's father that
Legar himself had acknowledged his
ignorance Of the girls whereabouts,
and had expressed his intention Of
trucking the chart out OF its present
owners hands.
Ten minutes Of frantic efforts Mt .
telephone booth in the nearby village,
however, convinced Manley of the i'm.
possibility OF getting in touch with
Golden by wire. !!

like settling sea bird, with the tilted
planes veering little westward to es
cape the beetling skyscrapers along
the canyon Of lower Broadway.
Manley thought, for moment, that
Evart had misjudged his position.
Then he felt sure that Evart had also
misjudged his height, that his stabil-
izing fin was already too low to clear
the fiat roof that abutted the light
strewn tower itself.
But Evart, obviously, knew what
he was about. For he took that OBJ
long Of fiat gloom outlined in electrics
with gentle upward undulation like
the upward swoop of bluebird alight-
ing on maple tree. Into that artful
upward swoop was absorbed much of
their momentum, for Eyart had plain
ly remembered that their running
space was limited. But even with this
precaution there remained a perilous
paucity Of runway, for before the
bounding and quivering organism OF
nickel and steel and canvas came to
q stop 1t lurched head-on into q wall
OF the tower itself.
Marley could hear the crash OF glass
as the damper plane at the nose Of
the quivering chassis brought up short
against one of the tower windows.
He was dimly aware OF Matchmaking
and half-climbing through network
Of wooden stuts and steel piano-w1re
stays and cross-guys. He was vaguely
conscious of Evart calling out that ev.
erything was all right, that there was

no damage which a haIf-hour's work

no damage which a half-hour's work
couldn't patch up.
But Manley, in truth, was thinking
little of either Evart or his fiier. All
his thoughts, as he climbed frantically
up through the broken tower window,
were revolving about the problem as
to whether or not he was too late.
And that all-vital question still OBJ
sessed him as he mounted the iron
treads of the stairway leading to the
tower top, painting up fight after flight
until his lungs seemed bursting for
want of air, and his over-driven heart
beat drumlike against his rib-cage.
And as he reached the top and flung
out through the narrow door opening

strong hand as It caught st 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-
membered, too, the arm close about
her as she lay back, weak and pant
ing, as they danced and speeded on
along that lonely road. She remem-
bered turning in through 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
ing Mask had stepped, she remem
bered, she had seen quiet-eyed wom-
an come out, n quiet-eyed woman who
had crept up to her, with tears we'll
ing from her eyes and smile of pity
ing tenderness about her lips.
"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 a finger to her lips.

this oil on the market. It has been
impossible to get a statement of the
price that will be asked, but it Will
probably be about S1.25 a barrel, in
Guiding the storage. It is probable
that this oil will be offered to the
