TWELFTH EPISODE
The Haunted Canvas.

The daughter of Dan O'Mara was q
very happy girl. So happy, in fact,
was the freckled-nosed Peggy that
there were times when the sheer nov.
city OF her good fortune somewhat
frightened her. For the tide had
turned. The O'Mara family, as Peggy
put It, was at last in clover. That mys-
FERROUS Fighter Of wrongs known as
the Laughing Mask had interested
himself in getting honest work for
Dan O'Mara. And that gracious.eyed
lady known as Margery Golden, once
she had realized the true position OF
the family. had become equally inter-
ested In doing what she could for the
spindle-legged Peggy.
It is true, none the less, that this
aforementioned young lady's benefac-
tress had been momentarily nonplused
by Peggy's choice Of vocation, when
this choice was placed before her.
''What would you like to do most?"
Margery had asked at the end OF her
second trip to the O'Mara cottage
with a bundle of clothes for the all
but breathless Peggy.

Their weapon. This, however. was
q weapon Of defense, for 1t consisted
of . craftily constructed cape which,
for purposes of disguise. could be
promptly converted into . woman's
skirt.
So sure was Mauki Of his defensive
| arrangements that when he caught
sight Of Peggy O'Mara and her father
at the window he promptly reached
for his rifle, adjusted the barrel be-
| tween the shutter Stats, and took aim.
Then he pulled the trigger.
Tho next moment q bullet went
crashing through the window OF the
O'Mara home.
Instinctively the two startled fig
ures leaped away from the window.
AS they did so they realized that q
third person had entered the room.
And q second glance showed them
that it was the Laughing Mask him
self.
He stood for moment or two, star
ing down at the spotted warning that
lay face upward on the floor. Then
he stared at the shattered window
The next moment he was pushing
Peggy and Dan O'Mara bodily back
from that square OF light
"But what's the meanin' Of all this,
anyway" demanded the astonished
householder.
1T means that bullet came through
that window" the Laughing Mask ex-
planned. "And know that bullet was
intended for your daughter here
The next moment the Laughing
Mask had caught broom from the
corner and about it was draping one of
Peggy O'Mara's well-worn waists.
Above this he placed the girls hat,
tying it In place with scarf. Then
dropping to his knees we'll out of sight
on one side of the window, he slowly
advanced his improvised dummy into
the square Of light.
That rough outline of human fig
ure was scarcely in position at the
window before second pane crashed
In and the broom was knocked from
the hand of the masked man hold
ing it.
THAT shot could have come only
from one of those three houses across
the way. And it's ten to one it's from
that empty house on the right"
He drew away from the window and
stood for a moment deep in thought.
"O'Mara, want you to slip out by
your back door and get help. Call on
any neighbors you can trust in case
like this Then hurry back here, for
don't want that scoundrel to suspect
his plans haven't worked out exactly
as he imaeines!"
