 He was suddenly interrupted by the sound of loud and raucous shouts and the jerky whirring of the taxicab en. zine.
 These men are in an ugly mood and will stop at nothing. My man and l can hold them of until you get a start When you get home give that paper to your fathers secretary, it concerns him deeply. Go at once and ride as hard as you know how"
 From the depths of a comfortable wicker chair in the spacious living room. Nargery narrated the exciting events of the last hour to a little cir cle of breathless auditors. including the somewhat abashed Captain Brack- cit cf hcadnuarters.
 And when she exhibited that tat tered slip of paper which she had been instructed to deliver to tho young secretary. David Manley, the red-faced captain could restrain him. self no longer.

I've been followin' up a clue that leads right into this house. MT Golden, and if you ain't got any objections I'd like to have a talk with that secretary of yours"
 At that moment the unsuspecting object of this thinly yelled insinuation airily entered the room. M;rgery ut- tered a gasp of surprise as she saw his left hand bound in blood-stained handkerchief.
 That left hand of yours looks kind of mussed up," said the police captain, perhaps you wouldn't mind tellin' us how it got hurt"
 For the first time since Marrerv had known the frank and boyishly engaging David Manley he appeared constrained and somewhat eyasive.

the Laughing Mask like sinking jungle cats hunting in pairs.
 The next moment those creeping figures had avalanched themselves up on him, knocking his weapon from his hand and bearing him heavily to the ground under their combined weight. Fighting with courage born of des- peration, the Laughing Mask with one supreme effort shook off the clutches of his unwieldy opponents and sprang to his feet. the strip of white paper still gripped in his left hand.
 One-Lamp Louie. seeing his oppor- tunity, leveled the revolver and fired at close range. A stinging pain in his left hand forced him to involuntarily relinquish his hold on the crumpled bit of paper, and a puff of wind sent it kiting high above his head.
 The astonished girl, sitting as mo tionless as an equestrian statue. had barely time to gather her scattered wits. when that disputed scrap Of parchment came gently floating down  the breeze. She knew that paper must have some great intrinsic value or the Laughing Mask would not have jeop- ardized his life for its possession.
 Wheeling her tender-mouthed horse in his tracks, she struck him a sharp blow with her riding crop. Smart ing under this unusual indignity, he launched out like a black thunderbolt toward the startled gangsters block ing his path. Margery swung low like an Indian and scooped up the paper
 As Margery swept past the last Of her enemies she saw the black limou- sine backing out from the shruhbery just ahead Of her, and by a herculean effort succeeded in pulling up barely in time to avoid collision with that mysterious vehicle. Just then the Laughing Mask, with his left hand hastily bandaged, burst out of the bushes and ran swiftly toward the waiting motor car. He stopped in sud den wonderment as he saw the serene eyed girl who smilingiy extended a frayed and soiled strip Of white paper.

 You were quite right in thinking so,' answered the blazing-eyed girl: T do love him and ! could never love anyone who could stoop totsuch de- ccption as you have"
 They were interrupted in the midst of this painful discussion by the re turn of the crestlsilen police captain and Davy's much-rci.eved employer.

SIXTEENTH EPISODE
The UnmaSking of Davy.

In that gloomy sanctuary of evil doers known as the Owls Nest, Jules Legar bent over the half sheet of pa per on which the pen in his lean fin gers was inscribing certain cryptic characters. Then he quickly folded the strip of parchment, placed it in an en- velope, and securely gummed down the flap with the aid of the iron hook which took the place of his missing left hand.
 Crossing the dank Tagging of the subterranean chamber. he stood be- fore a rat-faced individual, who squinted slavishly up at him with one good eye. Although fortified by liber- al portions of the Owls illicit brew, it was evident that One-Lamp Louie nourished an unwholesome dread of that scar-marked tyrant, who brooked no infraction of his malign authority
 "Cut out that booze and listen to me-" commanded Legar in curt tones; you know the place where those bulls from headquarters gave us such lively run that had to cache that Van Horn swag. Get out there as quick as you can and turn this envelope over to Dutch Frank, who will be waiting with Tony Rafello along the road near the lake. They will know what to do, and remember-no bungling on this job"
 As the one-eyed gangster placed the envelope carefully in his pocket and slunk out of that harborage of human derelicts, it would have boded i'll for his peace of mind could he have seen at that moment into the dark cubby- hole where that nocturnal old bag, the Owl. nestled during the daylight hours In that unsavory retreat stood a motionless figure, with one ear

pressed so closely to the cracked door panel that every word spoken in the outer room was plainly audible.
 This daring eavesdropper wore a yellow mask. with the mouth slit curv- ing upward in d fixed. mocking smile. He now seemed animated by strong desire to accompany One-Lamp Louie as that worthy departed on his strange errand. Swiftly mounting shaky lad der on one side of the room. the masked iuterloper groped his way up- ward through a narrow bulkhead door, opening onto a gloomy slleyway.
 Racing down this alley. he reached the street where a black, low-sllmg Limousine stood drawn up at the, curb. ansthe next block a thick-bodied man was hailing a passing taxi.
 Follow that taxicab. he cried out to the chauffeur; don't let 1t get out of sight for a minute"
