 What mark! asked the wondering girl
 My daughter carried a scar or hcr right arm. My men, when she was a child on Windward island, caught and killed a shark. The child. when no one watched her, thrust a hand in between the brutes jaws. Those dying jaws closed on the flesh. and an iron bar had to be used to open them again. And they said that scar would always stay with her.
 The girl, wide-cyed, dropped back into the armchair
 'Why. I seem to remember" she said staring before her. 'I seem to remember years ago, rows and rows of sharp teeth and the sudden pain as those teeth came together"

SECOND EPISODE
The House off Unhappiness.


 Enoch Golden, with all his millions, was hard man. Those closest to him contended that he had experienced much to make him hard.
 The one person who stood in any way intimately and personally con nected with Golden was his young pri- vate secretary, David Manley. For young Manley, often enough known to his associates as "Davie," was both incorrigibly youthful and engagingly irresponsible Golden, oddly enough, secretly liked this youth for his fool ishness.
 Golden smiled a little as he stepped into his massively furnished library and found young Nanley curled up in one of the great leather chairs intently working over a pocket camera and quite oblivious of the tele- phone bell shrilling from the rosewood desk beside him. Golden, as he seated himself at this desk and curtly ar swered the phone call, blinked with mock disapproval at the youth bent over the camera.
 It was not until he heard Golden's great fist smite the rosewood desktop that Manley looked up. The man of millions was frowning over the letter still in his hand.
 The condition of these tenements is shameful. Times are hard, and many, we find, are out of work. If you insist on raising the rents, as you threaten. our settlement workers claim that hundreds of the poor will have to leave their homes. So, for the sake of the mothers and children alone. implore you to reconsider your earlier decision.
 Sincerely,
 AMOS SCHOFIELD, D. D."
 "The foolsi" said Golden aloud. They know as much about business, Manley, as you know about bond is suesl Not raise my own rents. guess Enoch Golden still knows enough to run his own business!'
 He stopped and looked at Manley. Whats that gim-crack you're vast ing your time on?" he demanded.
 "Gim-crack?" laughed Manley. Its the neatest thing in cameras that ever came into America. That's a new Swiss telescopic lens I've just been ad- justing to it. Take a snap of a flea biting your ear eighty paces away! And your income on those tenements, by the way, amounts to an annual re- turn of just 43 per cent of the capital invested"
 But Golden's patience was exhaust ed. Get out of here!" was his brusque
Bisbee daily review., 1916-09-03

Will you please read me that mes sage. And quickly, for this is impor- tdut"
 Here it is answered the bewil. dored voice over the wire. You are keeping Blondie Casey a prisoner in your house. Unless you iberate her within an hour your house will go up in flames. And after that house. your next house. and the next It is signed The CoohsoH Gang. But what am l to believe? What am l to do? And what is the answer to all these mys- teries?'
 Whatever you do, don't let them get that young woman away from you,"
 Faintly the listener could hear the sound of sudden cals of quick ques- tions and answers and counter-ques- tion. Then the voice of Golden was once more franucally calling him over the wire.
 "Manley. Manley is that you? You've spoken too late. Wilson. my butler. has just hurried in to me here Ten minutes ago a stranger claiming 10 be a meter inspector got entrance to the house. Do you hear me. they've taken that girl! She's gone,"
 "Goue?' echoed Manley. Then l haven't time to stand here talking"
 Yet. Enoch Golden. even as Manley himself, had little time for talking over that strange abduction. For two minutes later his still hurried butler announced the arrival of James Gris- wold. the president of the Union Traders bank. on urgent business.
 Golden began that visitor almost as soon as he had crossed the thrcsh- old, 'I have counted myself among your friends. But when | receive note like this, threatening me and my business, ! regard it as about time to see you, face to face

 Whereupon Manley meekly took his departure. Two minutes later, how ever, yet another figure was passing through the gloomy silences of Enoch Golden's home. It was a more purpose full figure than that of the lazy-eyed young secretary. And over the face of this intruder as he cautiously made his way through the great house was an odd-looking band of yellow cloth cut in the form of a mask. The center of this, dropping apronlike almost to his upper lip. was marked by an i1- verted crescent, which at first glance lent to the partly-covered face the faint suggestion of an ironically laugh
