Manley behind that solitary rock on
a previous occasion, and the equally
sudden emergenCe of the Laughing
Mask moment later. With a feel
ing that at last she had stumbled
upon 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
clear when she reached her deStina-
ton, but when she had tOiled half
way up the steep slope the unSuspeCt-
ing object of her espionage came saun-
tering leiSurely along the shaded road.

great sphere of stone. A moment
later, as the breathleSsly waiting girl
half expected, there issued from be-
hind that rocky screen a figure clad
in the familiar habilimentS of the
Laughing Mask.
But at that instant another person
emerged from behind the bOwlder and
descended the hillside within a few
yards of the thicket where the wide
eyed girl crouched in utter bewilder-
ment. For the newcomer was none
other than David Manley himself and
the solution of that battling mystery
seemed further off than ever.

NINETEENTH EPISODE
The Cave of Despair.

Margery Golden was naturally Of n
happy disposition. Yet as she sat In
the June fragrance Of the color
smashed rose garden and let her
thoughts dwell on the recent events
which had SO rudely shattered her
many cherished ideals, the pensive-
eyed girl could not repreSs a long
drawn sigh which betrayed only too
clearly her distress of mind. From a
branch overhead a liquid-nOted robin
poured his melody of spring and glad
ness into the unheeding ears of the
silent and preOccupied figure on the
rustic bench.
Suddenly the feathered sOngster
ceased his joyous carol as Margery
heard the sound of approaching steps
on the graveled walk. The newcomer
stood looking wistfully down ut the
sweet-faced girl whose golden hair
glinted in the shaft of sunlight filter
Ing through the soft spring foliage.
She met his look with one of sur
prised inquiry.
II hardly expected to see you here,
Davy, after all that has happened"
she said in tones Of gentle reprOOf.

swered quietly, Il couldn't stay away

she is able to get a position she is ma

an orphan and does not know her real
father and mother ana il is her ardent
prayer that she will find them in New
HorIs--in fact, she resolves she viii find
them.
And so the story goes on until we reach
the second act. when We find our heroine
lodging in the boarding house Of an old
German named Schmultz. The g.rl has not
vet found employment. and is absolutely
without funds with which to pay her room
rent.
The author has seen to it that this land
lord shall be kind to unfortunate young
girls, and when the fourth and last act
rolls around we find Laura Nelson having
recovered her lost fortune and saved from
the clutches of a band of white slavers.
Florence Davenport, in the role of Laura
Nelson, is at times impressive. Rachel
