crushing his hand. Palidori opens the
dyke gates and floods the island and in
the general rush TO escape the flood kid
maps Golden's six-year-old daughter Mar

OF God" rescues an eighteen-year-ol girl
from the cadet Casavant, to whom Jules
Iegar has delivered her. and takes her to
the home OF Enoch Golden, millionaire,
whence she is recaptured by Legar Legar
and Stein are discovered by Manley Col

buildings, but escape. Margery's mother
fruitessly implores Enoch Golden TO

Legar loots the Third National bank. but
again the Laughing Mask illustrates his
plans. Legar sends Golden THE Spotted
Warming" demanding a portion OF chart
OF the Windward island. Margery meets
her mother. The chart is lost during a
fight between Manley and one of Legars
henchmen.

SEVENTH EPISODE
"THE HOODED HELPER"

Margery Golden's serenely self
willed Aunt Agatha disliked animals
almost as much as she disliked mys-
teries. And about her tranquil Ce-
dar home she felt were transpiring
events altogether too ineXplicable to
remain long to her liking.
So when Hannah, the plump but less
practicalminded caretaker of that
erstwhile abode of tranquility, trem-
ulously announced that a stranger in
a yellow mask had left a bright-col-
ored parrot, answering to the name OF
Tito. at the door for Miss Margery,
the bird in question was viewed with
open disfavor, and Margery was sub
jected to many disturbing interroga-
tions.
None of the girls answers proving
satisfactory, however. her firm-willed
maiden aunt proposed that they pro-
ceed with their interrupted game of
preference" But a green parrots in
stinct and enigmatic cry Of Look
out for the Iron Claw" proved in no
way consistent with so tranquiliZing
a game, and the owner of the house
finally and firmly commanded the de-
parting Hannah, who slept out" to
carry the disturbing creature off to
her own cottage for the night.
This Hannah did, with much num-
bling, and deposited it in her chicken
coop.
There Tito would have spent quiet
and uneventful night, in all likelihood,
had not a certain mildly-predacious
negress answering to the name of
Jemima Watson, returned all but
empty-handed to her suburban home.
For one of the by-products of this
dusky lady's activities as scrub
woman was the gathering OF those
trifes which find their way to the
waste baskets and refuse cans of of
fee buildings. And her only harvest,
on this occasion, was a half portion
of time-yellowed code chart and
map, which had blown from the dizzy
balcony of the Central Tower building

Metal Tent Supports.

Those fond of camping out will be
glad to hear of new contrivance con-
sisting of combined tent frame and
cot, which dispenses with cumbersome
poles and simplifies the question of
how to move ones sleeping accOmmo-
dation from place TO place. The new
tent supports are of light angle iron,
and the longer pieces as well as those
forming the cots which go with each
tent are jointed so that they may be
folded up when necessary. The frames
of the cots are suspended from the up
rights by two coil springs, used for
the same purpose as springs in the or
dinary house-bed. During the day the
cots can be folded up against the tent
frame and well out of the road, by
releasing one of the springs at each
end.

nonchalantly about, crossed to a door,
swung it wide, and saw that it opened
into a closet.
Throw that grizzly in here until he
learns how to keep quiet!" was their
leaders crisp command.
And now, my girl, guess it's your
turn again" was his next sinister ex-
clamation.
At the same moment that these
words were spoken still another unex-
pected intruder entere the room.
Only this time 1t was the oddly inter-
ruptive figure of that man OF mystery
known as the Laughing Mask.
Not a move from any man here!"
he cried out as he faced that threaten
ing circle, gun in hand.
II was Legar himself who stepped
back a pace or two, closely watching
the automatic.
Before we start any shooting
around here" the Laughing Mask
calmly suggested, II want just word
or two, Legar, with you. / know what
you're after. You want Golden's por.
ton OF a Windward Island chart.
Well, l have that chart, and have it
with me. But there is no reason why
women should be dragged into this
fight. So the first thing you have to
do, IL you want that chart, is to al
low Margery Golden and her mother
here to return quietly to the city with
my chauffeur, and return tonight"
Legars lip curled.
And then you'll as quietly hand
me over the paper, l suppose?" he
scoffed.
III hand you over the paper
agreed the Laughing Mask, for above
all things he knew 1t was necessar!
to play for time.
The gun and the map together,
4 was the prompt demand.
And then what?" inquired tn,
Laughing Mask.
"Then you wait in this closet unit
make sure it's the map I've got" an
nounced the audacious Legar.
II await your decision, gentlemen
in the jury ROOM" mockingly ar

the closet.

Want Hens In EneIIsh Parks

In the hope of saving large part OF
the S4O,OOO.OO0 spent every year FOR
foreign eggs, an agitation Is on toot
to throw open London parks for poul-
try breeding. The scheme is receiving
serious consideration from the aulhorl-
ties because ii is one of the latest war
time economies suggested on a large
scale. The promoters of the idea have
asked for part of one park to start
with. The plan provides for site
of about three acres and accommoda-
ton for GOO hens. The leading poul-
try breeders of the country VIII be In
vited to send six selected fowls or the
same breed and strain. Scientific feed
ing tests are to be made. All the eggs
will go to the wounded soldiers, and
prizes will be awarded TO the owners
of the hens laying the most eggs.

ing preference" N the light OF a
green-shaded reading lamp. But the
man In the mask, preferring to leave
quietly in through the back of the
house, locked himself in a small room
above stairs, and there adroitly but
quickly made facsimile of the map.
Before that map could be completed
though, strange events were already
transpiring directly beneath where he
sat. For Margery Golden. glancing up
from her game, stared idly into the
old-fashioned mirror of bevel plate
facing her from the opposite wall.
And peering in at the window reflect
ed in that mirror she saw a bearded
face scanned with an unInistakable
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 Legars.
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 he threw
on a heavy bear-skin coat and cap
wound a muffler about his neck, and
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 1t was plair
that several men. lurking there in the
darkness, had sprung upon him. II
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 rufiians headed by lie
gar himself.
The latter bowed ironically to tn
white-faced girl as he confronted her
His advance towards her, though, wa
interrupted by the suddenly renewet
struggles of the chauffeur, who, as h
tried to break away from his captors

not once graced his own ancestral
halls, had at least been conscientiously
made, on the far side OF the Atlantic,
after models bearing every earmark OF
the authentic. And one Of the treasures
which he had succeeded in disposing of
to Enoch Golden was a full suit OF
medieval Japanese armor, complete
even to the long-bladed Kagisaki dag
ger and grotesquely fashioned metal
face mask.
That leering metal face David Man
ley had hated from the first moment
he saw 1t in position at the far side of
the somber Golden library. The ugli-
ness Of that metal monstrosity, in fact.
seemed accentuated by the soft-toned
canvas painting which stood immedi-
ately behind 1t.
Just what do you see to like about
that thing?" he somewhat brusquely
inquired The girls face grew seri-

He handed the automatic to one OF
the men and motioned to him to un-
lock the closet door. Then he or
dered the chauffeur to step out.
"Now, you beat II with these ribs,
and beat it quick!"
That chauffeur had not taken six
steps across the room before a sud
den cry broke from one of the men
standing close beside the card table.
"Your maps gone!" was the be-
wildering message that fell on Legars
ears as he leaped to the table side.
The man in the bear skins at the same
moment stepped out through the door.
"That guy gave you a copy, fake
copy done in disc ppearing ink"
Legar gave one glance. Then, with
an oath. he leaped for the closet door,
flung it open, and sprung bodily on
the masked figure, dragging it out to
the light as he tore away the band of
yellow that covered the latter's face.
That's the chauffeur" cried one OF
the men. "They switched makeups
in that closet, and the main guys got
away"
Then came sudden trample OF
feet, a chorus of shouts and the
charge OF armed officers of the law
through the house. For the sheriff had
at last arrived.
Legar, knowing what that meant

table. jumped through a window and
vanished from sight.

old bachelor, who, with the excep-
ton of a hOusekeeper, lived alone
in a great weather-beaten old man
sion on the river road. He lived
very secluded kind of life, was
seldom seen upon the streets of the
town, and attracted very little atten-
ton when he was seen. There were
hardly ten people in the place that
knew the man or anything concerning
his life.
Yet there had been a time in the
life Of Perry Fanchion when he had
attracted a great deal of attention,
and won the sympathy and pity of
the whole town. That had been over
forty years ago, and in the meantime
the town had changed from village
into city. The old families had died
out and the younger generation had
forgotten the history of Perry Fan
chion.
1t was Christmas eve night and bit
.terly cold. Sleet and snow drove with
incessant fury against the great French
windows. The heavy old oak doors
ratified and shook, while the wind
shrilled mournfully among the many
old-fashioned gables and chimneys.
Perry sat gazing into the fire. His
hair was snOw-white, his eyes were
dark, and tonight they had tragic
gloomy look.

After the funeral Perry Fanchion

left him, until at last he stood alone, a
