first prizes for the cowboys and
cowgirls' bucking contests at the
Roundup, are today on display in the
windows of Hamley & Co. the max
ers They are beautiful in line and
detail and the engraving work is ex
tremely artistic. Both are silver

acme of perfection of saddlecraft.
The cowboys who have been admiring
it today declare that, without excep-
tion, the saddles are the finest they
have ever seen from a standpoint of
workmanship. In addition Hamleys
have several other prize saddles in
their shops. yakima Canutt has there
the saddles which he won at the Phi
lomath show and at the Walla Walla

about Manley and the Laughing
Mask being the same person. What
has just happened proves l am
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 it as well as I
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 l saw him
with my own eyes,"
For a moment the heavy-featured
police officer stared at her in appar-
ent disbelief, but Margery felt she
had twisted the truth in a good cause.
and presently he turned from her
clear, level gaze with the attitude OF
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.
OF 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 @
star bisecting it's 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 al
one time extensive coal mining opera
tions had been carried on at Sever
Oaks hill.
In these forgotten catacombs, ar
entrance had apparently been effected
by the construction Of a secret dOOl
at the foot of the lone bOwlder or
the hilltop. This would account fol

The Cave of Despair.

Margery Golden was naturally OF a
happy disposition. Yet as she sat In
the June fragrance Of the color
splashed 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 long
drawn sigh which betrayed only too
clearly her distress of mind. From a
branch overhead 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 at 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,
D0vy, after all that has happened"
she said in tones Of gentle reprOof.
81 had to come, Margery," he an
swered quietly. II couldn't stay away
from you any longer. Won't you be-
lieve that I am truly sorry for what
I have done and try to forgive me?"
The silent robin, which had been
regarding this masculine intruder
into its peaceful domain with some
uncertainty, now took wing in a sud
den fiutter Of apprehension. For at

stopped short distance down the road.
At sight Of these implacable enemies
the Laughing Mask, with word OF as
surance to his companion, slipped qui-
etly through the hedge and ran light
ly toward the highway, down which
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 fairly wide margin of safety
he slowed down and. leaping from the
saddle, ran with quick strides over
Tensas gazette., 1917-03-09

Manley behind that solitary rock on
a previous occasion, and the equally
sudden emergence Of the Laughing
Mask a moment later. With a 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
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.
Margery darted into a nearby laurel
thicket and from this opportune covert
kept an intent watch on the move
ments of the young man, who was now
picking his way along the crest OF
the ridge. As he neared the isolated
bowlder he stopped, and then, appar-
emily satisfied he was free from OBJ
servation, disappeared behind that
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 OF than ever.
