Wisconsin Methodists do not believe
in mincing words. They have called
on Senator LaFollette to either stop
disappearing them or get out of the
senate. 1t will take more than Meth
odist conference to jar Senior Senator
Bob loose from that seat in Washington.

does not prevent dealers selling it to

repellent lawbreakers left their cover
when the thicket was again occupied
by stealthily moving figure.
The newcomer, straining to over
hear the conversation between Jules
Legar and Dutch Frank, wore that
familiar and derisive mask of yellow
Its trap to get our masked
friend down to Wharton's quarry,
where the bunch is waiting to gather
him In" said Legar.
II haven't got any love for that med
ding masker, but this Is too good a
chance to miss. I've got some heav-
Ter scores than his to settle, and right
now is the time to do It."
With a cold chill of apprehension
the Laughing Mask remembered he
had no method Of reaching the dis
tant quarry except by foot, and long
before he could hope to reach his
destination Legar would have had
ample time to carry out his flendlsh
purpose. But anything was better
than this maddening inaction, and
course he raced frantically along the
road through the dust clouds raised
by the black automobile, fast disap-
pearing In the distance.
That swiftly moving conveyance

er turned Off into q seldom used wood
road and shortly afterward came to q
stop Il little way back of the steep
walled granite quarry. As Legar
peered over the edge of the perpen-
dicular cliff, from which great blocks
OF stone had been sheared away by
powerful explosives, an evil smile of
triumph distorted his scar-furrowed
face. For just beneath him were the
figures Of the portly police captain and
two OF his men crouching behind a
ponderous upright slab of granite.
Standing little apart from the others
was the sober-faced daughter of his
long-hated enemy.
He saw the authoritative officer mo-
ton the detected girl into the hiding
place, and as with apparent reluct-
ance she obeyed this mute signal the
iron-clawed spy drew back from the
cliff-edge and rejoined his companion,
who was waiting by the automobile.
They're down there, all right"
Legar savagely exulted, In response
to the questioning look of Dutch
Frank, "and when we blow out the
side of that cliff they are going to
get crushed like rats In trap"

the embrace of his companion and
stood gazing in startled surprise In
the direction from which il came. At
that moment Il thick-set figure came
catapulting through the hedge and
bore down upon the Laughing Mask
like human cannon ball. The eXas-
perated police captain, realizing he
could no longer hope to take his enc
my by surprise, had staked everything
on this sudden rush. But the nimble-
footed fugitive was off like Splinter
trying To beat record, and by the
time he reached the road he had
gained wide leap over his numbering
pursuer, who shortly gave up the
chase and slowly retraced his steps,
blowing like winded truck horse.
"This is the second time you've har-
bored that criminal" he barked at the
proudly erect young woman who stood
facing Margery Golden, IAN as an Of
ficer of the law l give you warning
it will be worse for you If you don't
tell us where he keeps himself under
cover"
IL shall tell you nothing" answered
the openly defiant girl, your bully
ing threats do not brighten me In the
least, and / shall see that your in
sulting conduct is reported to the
proper authorities"
With this parting shot the unruf-
fled girl deliberately turned her back
on the raging police captain and, with
quiet dignity, made her way toward
the white-pillared mansion. Nothing
remained for that utterly routed arm
of the law but to withdraw from the
field of this disastrous verbal battle
with the best grace he could muster,
but already, in his somewhat limited
range of mental activity, he had de-
vised a new scheme for trapping the
elusive masquerader, whose immedi-
ate capture he was more grimly de-
termined upon than ever.
To his surprise Margery Golden
promptly and steadfastly rebelled at
the part which he had chosen for her
to play In the contamination OF this
scheme, which savored TO certain
degree of INSCRIPTIONS trickery. 1t
was only by tanning the smoldering
jealousy of the sorely tried girl that
he was at last able to wiring from her
a reluctant consent to do his bidding.
"The chances are he won't leave
that good-lookin' doll for a minute,
even though he thinks you are In ter
rible danger" had been his argument,
which finally carried the day. Fear
ing that his hesitating confederate
might exercise her woman's preroga-
tive of suddenly changing her mind,
the willy strstegist Immediately put

Anxious TO do anything which might
tend to clear up the harassing doubts
preying upon her mind, Margery will
lingly acquiesced In this plan. A lit
tie later the speedy. gray roadster
containing the determined police cap
tain and the troubled-faced girl>'drew
up just around the bend Of the road
beyond the Kicks homestead, where
David Manley had taken up his abode
since his abrupt departure from the
manor house of his former employer.
Suddenly Margery felt her heart
quicken as she saw familiar figure,
with dejectedly dropping shoulders,
cutting across the fields In the direc-
ton of Seven Oaks Hill. The keen
eyed officer caught sight of his quarry
at almost the same moment.
There's our man now" he said
quickly, land it's up to us to keep
him in sight every minute"
Stealthily the slender girl and the
burly captain, slipping from cover to
cover, Swallowed the distracted Man
ley, who was apparently too occupied
with his thoughts TO be at all on his
guard. He finally reached the sum
NIT of the hill and made straight for
the lone bowlder where on previous
occasion the Laughing Mask had mys-
teriously eluded the holly pursuing
police captain. His trailers lodged
into nearby thicket and breathless-
ly waited the outcome of this strange
procedure.
Nor had they long to wait. A few
tense moments elapsed after David
Manley disappeared from view behind
the bowlder and then another figure
emerged from In back of that stone
concealment. The features of the new
conner were shrouded by a yellow and
grotesquely laughing mask.
Through that opening the two shad-
overs of the Laughing Mask saw him
advancing toward rose-mantled sum-
merhouse at the end of shaded
walk. They saw graceful girl, her
fiowerllke face aglow with eager ex-
pectati0n, suddenly emerge from the
summerhouse and run TO meet him
with Outstretched arms. Then as the
two figures met for moment in a
close embrace sharp cry of pent-up
anguish burst from the white lips of
Margery Golden.
As that soul-racked cry reached his
ears, the perfidious masker broke from

the first part of his plan into execu-
ton. He went to the small mahogany
writing desk standing In one corner
OF the gunroom and busted himself
In clumsily guiding the pen held in
his thick fingers over a half-sheet of
notepaper.
''This ought to do the trick If any
thing WILL" he complacently an
nounced, swinging about In his chair
after few moments of laborious eff
fort, "now let's get this thing straight.
I've signed Legar's name to this here
billydoo, and it's just about the way
he'd have written Ii himself. It's adj
dressed to Dutch Frank I'm New York,
and 1t says Legar has rugged up a
plant to decoy you down to Wharton's
Quarry at four o'clock this after
noon, an he wants a couple of his
strong-arm men sent right out to help
pull off the abductin' job, and carry
you back to the city. Now We'll take
this fake message out to that big rock
where we've seen the Laughing Mask
hangin' aroun' an drop Ii In plain
sight, kind of careless like, as though
ii had slipped out of Legar's pocket.
Then If our man comes along an he
amt too much taken up with his new
lady friend, he's pretty likely to swal-
low this bait, hook an sinker, an II
he goes down to Wharton's quarry at
four o'clock this afternoon to give you
a hand like he used to do he's goln'
to get the biggest surprise party OF
his life"
When the stocky captain of police
having planted" his forged decoy in
conspicuous spot near the lone
bOwlder, returned to the waiting
girl In the low-slung car, his face
was Enthusiastically stamped with self
satisfaction.
The jubilant police officer might
have lost some OF his confidence in
the success of his plan had he known
that from behind sheltering thicket
two pairs Of evil eyes had watched
his every movement from the time
the gray car had stopped by the road
side. Now that the coast was clear
there emerged from that thicket a
man with wolfish, scar-marked face,
who stood waiting while his blond
lieutenant retrieved the white slip of
paper intended to entrap the Laugh
ing Mask. But scarcely had these

.PECOS VALLEY FOOD
GROWERS ORGANIZED

Calsbad, New Mexico, May 5.-The
Pecos Valley is now fully organized to
promote the growing Of the largest
crops in its history. Both Eddy and
Chaves counties perfected central or
ganizations some time ago and every
community has now local associa-
ton as well, the last being perfected
last night.
The cotton crop has already been
planted, a larger acreage than usual
having been planted this season, The
alfalfa crop is coming along, though
the first cutting is somewhat delay
ed by cool weather this spring. The
outlook for apples is good and the
growers are giving the crop more
careful attention than usual. The
winter grain is coming along nicely
little damage having been done by the
green bug" which appeared late in
the winter.
A census is now being taken thru
out the valley TO find how large an
acreage will be planted this season,
what crops are being contemplated,
the needs in the way OF seed, labor,
and finance, Many Of the farmers
will plant increased acreage in corn
and forage grains. The pinto bean
will be cultivated very generally.
It is expected that the farm output
on the irrigated lands IN the valley
will more than double. Many thou
sand acres Of idle watered lands are
being bought or leased for crop this
year. The county associations are
working in close cooperation with the
state college and the Federal depart
ment Of agriculture.
