Legar laughed as he confronted his
enemies.
do you want to take me alive?'
Alive or dead, I'm going to take
you!"
Then take this first" cried Legar.
At the same moment that he spoke
the left hand in which he still held
what seemed to be a black metal
watch case swung forward. And as
that object which so closely resembled
a black watch hurtled through the air.
Legar flung himself fiat on his face
along the vault flooring. Then the
black watch struck.
The next moment the walls OF that
ponderous structure of marble and
sandstone seemingly built to defy time
itself, lifted bodily in the air, like the
hull of a torpedoed dreadnaught.
Then, following the roar and rumble
of that vast defamation, came the mo-
mentary catastrophe silence which
so strangely and yet so inevitably sue
ceeds q calamity too gigantic and too
abrupt to be understood.
That ominous silence, however, last
ed only for a few seconds. Out of 1t
arose mufIied calls and thin cries for
help, followed by answering shouts
from many different points in the
darkness as rescuing hands set to
work on the ruins.
And out of those ruins, while this
work was going on. emerged two
bruised and tattered figures strangely
divergent In appearances. The first
figure, worming its way out through

explosive power which stood COM
pressed between it's slender metal
walls.
Legar was not coward. Yet as he
stood in the clammy midnight air of the
Golden mausoleum and quietlyremoved
the screws that held the top on the
black casket beside him, he found that
combination of silence and gloom and
unsavory surroundings little more of
a strain on his nerves than he had
anticipated. Yet as he lifted back the
sable cover of the casket he did So
with hand that was still steady.
Thence he took up his flashlight, and
pressing close to the collins side,
stood studying the pallid face that lay
surrounded by it's even more pallid
drapery of white satin.
He stared at that pallid face long
and intently. He stared at it with stu
dious and narrowing eyes. Then he
did a strange and an inexplicable
thing.
Lifting his MANNED right arm that
ended in it's shank of steel, he brought
it down with a crash on the glass
cover of the casket. Then, as though
Infatuated by some unreasoning hatred
for the pallid face still staring so i'm
passively up at him, he struck again.
This time the blow fell directly on the
head between the white satin swath-
ings. But that failing arm, instead of
striking a human head of flesh and
bone, crashed down through a thin
shell of fiber and tinted wax.
Legar, focusing his light on that
shattered mask, emitted a short bark
of triumph as the meaning Of it all
came home to him. He leaned for
several minutes over the violated cas-
ket, staring at it with insolent yet abb
stracted eyes, bordering just what
move could lie beyond so intricately en-
gineered a subterfuge. And the an
swer to that question came more
promptly and more directly than he
had anticipated. For as he stood
there, turning piece of the wax-cov-
cred tissue meditatively over in his
fingers, the electric bulbs that strung
the mausoleum roof broke into sudden
light. From different quarters of that
shadowy building, at the same time,
stepped a group of hidden officers,
headed by David Manley himself.
So quickly and so quietly did that
transformation take place, indeed.
that the man leaning over the casket
had neither time nor chance to change
his position. He merely blinked lit
tie stupidity at the revolver which
glimmered in Manley's hand. Then.
with a gesture that seemed equally
stupid, he reached for his watch and
held the heavy gun-metal case medi-
tatively between his fingers.
stick 'em up" Manley was at the
same time commanding with a curt
head movement towards Legar's
hands. 1T may have taken some
work, but this Is the time we gather

it. To swing off what narrow road re-
manned before him seemed frankly
suicidal. To lash his team to greater
effort was already out of the question.
To take his hands from the reins,
even, along that uncertain road, was
equally foolhardy. So the strange race
went on, the swaying and bounding
cab with a white-faced girl tossed
about under it's hood, the leaping and
lurching roadster, every second draw
ing closer down on its quarry yet
every second threatening to turn tur-
tie over one of the grassy embank-
ments above which it shuddered and
slowed.
1t was the Laughing Mask, leaning
far out from his running-board, who
threw open the cab-door and called
sharply to the startled girl.
Quick" he commanded
For one moment she hesitated.
Then she reached out for the unsteady
hand cropping for her.
The next moment she found herself
sitting back, a little GREATNESS, in the
leather-upholstered seat of the road
ster and the man in the Laughing
Mask smiling down at her.
The Black Watch.
A number Of things had happened
and were happening to disconcert, if
not to discourage, the redoubtable Lee
gar. That astute young adventures,
Betsy LIE Marsh, alias Williamsburg
Elsie, who. with the aid OF divers
forged recommendations, had installed
herself in the Golden household, re-
peatedly and stubbornly reported that
David Manley was dead.
Williamsburg Elsie also expressed
a strong desire to migrate from the
house in which she found herself so
inquisitive a maid, since that house.
she declared, was too full of queer
things" for her comfort.
When. at Legar's suggestion, she
had tried to pump a needleful o.
dope" into her altogether unsuspecting
mistress, dead mans face had sud-
denly appeared between her and the
bedroom door. And on two different
occasions, after midnight, when she
had ventured down to the housekeep-
er's telephone to send in a secret mes
sage to Legar himself, she had found
herself confronted by ghost in white.
Nor was Betsy lie Marsh the only
malcontent. Even Red Egan himself,
one of the best "cold-steer' men in
all the group that clustered about the
Owls Nest, had of late shown unmis-
taxable signs of mental disturbance
A dead mans ghost, he declared. had
looked in through one of the head
quarters windows. Red Egan, it is
true, had promptly emptied his six
shooter at that phantasmal intruder
but with nothing more to show for il
than a shattered window-sash and ST:

The Veteran at Parade Rest

GIVES, SIR; the rear guard is mastering
smaller The work is almost done.
We have taught that 1t isn't the flag,
it's what flying 1t means. The threads cling
together and they don't fear any storm.
We said 1t in '65, that a whole flag is bet.
ter than torn one, and that n great flag
is better than two smaller ones. And the
two of us that fought have worked together,
making a larger place, far larger and far
better than If we had worked separate.
And we have brought in others from over
the seas to help, only these have had to
be taught what the flag means. and what
flying 1t means. That has been the work
of the rear guard. The flag must stay aloft,
and 1t must mean In 1916 what 1t meant
to Lincoln In 65. Soon we'l take the last
watch soon we'll cross over the ford, and
soon Wen trudge on, weary but willing,
past the bend on the farther road, on our
way to the homecoming. But when we
move on, the work shall be complete. The
flag will be kept flying, and what it means
shall be clear-as clear as its meaning was
to Lincoln. The flag of 1865 shall be the
flag of 1865, God willing"
