Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1916-10-05
ures worming their way down the
oil wi

ures worming their way down the
slope toward her.
She would have been taken entirely
off her guard had not the heavy-foot-
ed gangster known as Dutch Frank
clumsily loosed a heavy stone, which
went bounding and crashing down the
steep incline past the startled girl.
"Spread out, and be quick about 1T y
Legar commanded sharply. "Tony, cut
! her off from the house; stay where
you are, Dutch, in case she doubles
back; Mack, you watch the road; I'll
get the girl myself"
Then out of her desperation was
born a plan, uncertain and hazard
Gus In its nature, but worth attempt
ing as last resort. Gathering all
her strength for a final effore, she
headed directly for the lone bowlder
standing on the ridge-top some
twenty yards above her. She COW
cred the intervening distance with
frenzied burst of speed and threw
herself, painting convulsively, at the
base Of the massive rock.
Then her bruised fingers came In
contact with a slight projection, on
which she saw painted the faint OUT
line of red star, She Instantly
pressed with all her strength against
this projection and, with sharp click
of releasing bolts, slab of wood so
closely resembling the rock as to defy
detection suddenly dropped in its
grooved guides, leaving a narrow aper-l
ture in the face of the bowlder.
Even as Legar, his cruel face
afiame with evil passion, rushed upon,
the defenseless girl, she slipped
through the strange opening, and
as she stumbled onto rude wooden
platform some ingenious mechanism
sent the heavy panel shooting into
place behind her.
Beneath the platform on which she
was standing the gloom was broken by
Pickering tallow dips fixed against
the WALL and Margery saw, as she ex-
pected, the labyrinthian galleries of
the long-deserted coal mine. Then as
she discovered a ladder which led
down into the wavering shadows the
heavy barrier suddenly dropped and
silhouetted against the outer light
she saw the leering face of Legar.
AS he came twisting through the
narrow passage the harried girl
sprang for the ladder and cropping her
way downward found herself in a
sloping tunnel from which opened
series of exhausted coal pockets.
Margery could now hear rough
voices and the shutting of feet on the
platform above her head. After a
Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1916-10-05

about ManIey and the Laughini
Mask being the same person. Wha
has just happened proves I an
right, for no two people could have
changed places between the time We
chased Manley into the gunroom and
that masked criminal opened the
door. No one came out of that win
dow and you know IL as well as
do"
For a moment the puzzled girl took
rapid counsel with herself.
81 am afraid l shall have to dis
credit your theory again, Captain
| Bracket" she said in unequivocat-
ing tones, 'for David Manley did come
through that window and saw him
with my own eyes"
For moment the heavy-featured
police officer stared at her in appar-
ent disbelief, but Margery felt she
had twisted the truth in good cause.
and presently he turned from her
clear, level gaze with the attitude of
a man who has completely lost his
bearings.
After lunch she slipped away from
the group sitting on the broad veranda,
discussing ways and means for the i'm
mediate capture of the Laughing
Mask, and taking shortcut across the
fields, soon came in sight of the old
gray farmhouse.
Off to one side of the weather.
beaten dwelling she saw Davy COM
fortably sprawled in fringed ham,
mock slung between two gnarled apple
trees. Suddenly he sprang out of
the hammock and, after an irresolute
glance toward the house, set off at an
easy pace down the road in the direc-
ton of Seven Oaks hill. Under the
deserted hammock Margery saw a
folded square of paper, which she con-
cluded was the note Davy had so mar
rowly saved from the ruthless clutches
of Captain Bracket earlier in the day.
But instead of the penciled lines of
the Laughing Mask she saw rough
diagram of a great bowlder with a
star bisecting its base-line. Under this
star were the words: "Press at this
point until opening appears" The
Significance of the puzzling sketch
suddenly flashed into the mind of the
quick-witted girl. She knew that at
one time extensive coal mining opera
tons had been carried on at Seven
Oaks hill.
In these forgotten catacombs, an
entrance had apparently been effected
at the foot of the lone bowlder on
the hilltop. This would account for
the sudden disappearance of DaviG

previous occasion, and the equally
sudden emergence of the Laughing
Mask a moment later. With feel
Ing that at last she had stumbled
upon a tangible clue, Margery sped
rapidly across the meadows in the
hope of reaching the undermined hill
before Davy should arrive by the
more circuitous route of the highway.
To her relief, the coast was still

the detectives were already coming.
But the meaning of this surprising
maneuver was apparent in another mo-
ment, for mingled with the startled
shouts of the officers came the rapid
explosions from a motorcycle, which
now darted away with its masked rider
bending low over the handle bars.
With a quick crash of gears the au-
tomobile started in hot pursuit.
When the Laughing Mask had estab-
lished a fairly wide margin of safety
he slowed down and, leaping from the
saddle, ran with quick strides over
