mOJner ls.-' asKeu Margery. gathering
 up her skirts as she glanced into the iingy storeroom feebly lighted by it's one dingy electric bulb.
 I'll be back in a minute, ma'am, the girl replied. only too glad Of any req sonable excuse for disappearing.
 Margery, in the meantime, peered doubtfully about the somber building in which she found herself so unex pectedly a visitor. Along one side ot the room in which she stood she could make out dark masses of dye wood piled as high as her head. Beside this she saw. in the uncertain light, an open pit filed with water. Into one side of this pit ran a cement-walled sluiceway. stained almost black. with a watergate set in the upper part Ot it's channel. The opening in the far side of the pit, which was guarded by 6 heavy iron grill as big as a park gate, led into a high-walled cavern across which stretched a number of huge steel drums. Set in these drums were rows Of knife-cdged cleavers.
 The polished surfaces of these great blades of steel shone ominously in the hslf-light. .-
 MargeFy was stnl staring at the great drums b1stling with cleavers when with a suldenness that startled her the electric lights were thrown on across the roof of the chamber. She wheeled about quickly to discover t1e cause for this. As she did so. an invol- untary gasp escaped from her lips. For standing beside the door. with his fin ger still or the switch, the Iron Claw h.nsen confronted Ger.
 "VVhy are you afraid of me?" ks con.
 idently purrcd. For the girl drew slowly away while he as slowly fol- lowed after her, step by step. Then with a movement that was feline in i,s IUicAness, he flung out an arIa and seized her. Then he turned her doiib. eraic,y about rutil che faced the black walled zIliceway. .Rlt the girl shrank back.
 Don't he afraid of it. my dear" he mocked as ne led her forcibly, step by step, to the iip of the channel through which tAe mil water was curling and eddyiRg. Tn fact, want you to look at 1t closely and understand it fully It's wonderful, wonderful for many reasons. At the end of this sluice. you see, IS log mlrgle. I nave seen those knives shred 9 six-inch timber in less than minutes time"
 He turned and stared down at the white-faCed girl. drinking to the full the dizzy wine of her terror. vringing a voluptuous delight out of her word less gs,e of horror. Then the look on his face suddenly altered. and b. wheeled about still clutching the gir, close to his side. He stood staring at the door which he had locked but. 8 minute before And his face sudden ly hardened as he saw the heavy iron latch of that door move.
 NarEery, following his glante, also watched that door. And when she ! heard the thump Of @ heavy timber or 1 it's panels new hope sped through ! her. That hope equipped her with | fresh strength. f. prompted her to ] struggle against the Iron Claw with | the utmost power of her desperate | young body. But her enemy. for all | her efforts, was too much for her. Foot | .sv foct he forced her back towards | the open sluiceway Then. with a nut | tered gasp of fnality and a sudden up- | ward hedve of his shoulders. he flung | the girl headlong into the water.
 As he did so the door burst open. 1 For the heavy-hearted Peggy O'Mara, after slipping guiltily away from the sluiceroom where she had left her quite unsuspecting victim. awakened for the first time to the full enormity of her offcnse. As she stood there in the darkness, staring back at the dark mass of the factory walls, the aches of remorse lay heavy on her young heart.
 She was stending there. with tears of helplessness in her eyes. when figure stepped up to her. She would have fed. incOntinently. at the ap- proach of that intruder. But the stranger held her with a gently re- hand. And as she peered up ct his face she saw that it was the man in the laughing mask
 The righting of wrongs is a part of my business in life. Can help you?"
 The girl hesitated
 "Yes she finally confessed. with a burst of tears. And through her sobs she brokenly recounted as much s she dared of that nights proceedings. Put she continued 70 weep ,.
 And me f5therN loo goin' to tho pen for what I'm tCllin you." she Eailed out in her misery.
