goes to the police for protection. When a crook has made haul, and i1 shaky about losing his swag, he beats it 10 his Malina, to his fence, the same as your friend the Laughing Mask has done, And the sooner we get the wheels moving and root that masked ground-hog out of his dugout the bet teri"
 I'm ready" announced Enoch Col den.
 With a gasp of sudden resolution Margery rang the bell, called for her roadster, and struggled into her hat and coat, as she ran down the sand- stone steps to the street.
 She sped off through the city at a rate that was an open and obvious violation of all the speed laws. She laughed rebelliously as, once free of the congested ferry traffic, she swung lightly past the car in which she be- held her own astonished father decor ously seated, giving him her dust as she mounted to the crest of the Jersey hills and struck the road leading north ward along the wind-bosomed river.
 Then as she swung past still an- other hurrying car the smile sudden ly died from her face. For she felt sure that one of the faces in that car was the face of Jules Legar himself.
 She went on, from that moment, crowding every inch of speed out of her car, exulting in the fact of its power, ignoring the shouts of onlook- CTS as she swept up through Colemans village, took the turn in a smother of dust, and brought the steaming road ster up sharp against cedar-hedge crowning the topmost ridge of the river cliffs. She leaped boldly through the hedge and ran to the outermost lip of the Palisades. There. cupping her hands to her lips, she called out a single name again and again.
 From a crevice in the broken rock face below her a figure wearing a vel low mask looked cautiously out and waved up to her with an equally eau tious signal. The next moment she was clambering nimbly yet carefully down the ledge of broken rock.
 A pair of stalwart young arms were waiting to hold her up. But she quick ly broke away from their clasp.
 Quick, they are coming to capture you!"
 Who are?"
 Tine police. They have found out you are hiding here. And Legar also has found out!"
 The man in the mask darted back to a small table on which stood shaded lamp. He bent quickly over and blew out the flame This left the back of the cave in darkness. Then he ran back to where the girl still waited.
 Do you trust me-" he asked.
 T trust you in everything" was her reply.
 Then listeni The water at the foot of this cliff is deep. It is a drop of a hundred feet. But it may be our only chance. Are you willing to take that leap with me-"
 -T trust you-in everything she told him, as she drew herself up. He held her there for a moment and then slipped to the back of the cave. When he reappeared he carried rough pine table in his arms. This he placed on end close to the entrance of the cave.
 The next moment a shadow dark ened the mouth Of the cave. Silhouet- ted clear against the outer light they could see the stooping figure of the Iron Claw.
 As he stood there, peering cautious ly about the ledge of the rockshelf. he was stealthily joined by his fol- lowers.
 They're coming" the Laughing Mask whispered to Margery Golden, IS he drew her closer in beside the rocky wall of the tunnel. Then, using the up-ended table as a screen, he advanced with her toward the cave mouth, slowly, silent. foot by foot.
 They were within six feet of the opening when Legar turned about to give a word or two of command to his followers. Two figures, those Of & masked man. holding a slender girl firmly by the hand, came running out of the cave.
 So suddenly did they come that they scattered Legar's men as they ad- vanced. And before those astounded men could recover either their foot ing or their wits, the man in the mask, holding the girl close to his side, had crossed to the cliff-edge and had taken Q flying leap out into space.
 An involuntary gasp of consterna- tion burst from that startled group of gangsters as they stood watching the clasped figures hurtle through the air, strike tle surface of the water clean, and 30 down into it's blue depths. Then. after what seemed an interminable wait, Q second shout, as involuntary. apparently, as the first, burst from the watchers as they be- held the two figures reappear. swim ming strongly side by side along the Unduleting surface of the water But that shout VE8 not d prolonged one
