JEW YORK. Feb. 2O.-One day
NJ last sumner. when the Giants
= were at their worst, John Nc
Graw split up pair or cronles. He
sent one OF these lads to Louisville
and gave the other the kind Of a call
down that only AicGraw can deliver.
That pair Of cronies was none other
than Rube Schauer and Ferdinand
schupp. called the "schush twins"
SchaUer was sent to the Louisville
Colonies and Schupp was told that he
was getting his last chance. He must
either make good or IL would be back

From that time on FerdIe Schupp
got wise to himself. Up TO the
time he Was handed that memoir

as more of a joke than anything
else. The fact that the Giants were
going bad was nothing in his gny,
young existence.
But McGraw Strengthened out his
ideas of the order of things on a big
league club. and Schupp came 10 him
self.
when Ferdie first broke into the big
league he was a "cocky" youth. He
knew he had a curve ball and he liked
TO have someone watch him throw.
But when he got under fire he forgot
his curves, retained his cockiness and
was often driven from the box
II is surprising to think back and re-
call the fact that this csre-free young
ster played a very prominent part IN
the worlds record string Of victories
scored by the Giants. That he was
sent to the mound six times and
pitched six straight victories of the 2s

Legar, however, was no longer IN
need Of that warning. Standing to
one side OF the mantei. close beside
the wall. he attacked tho huge can
vas with his hre-tongs, beating in the
center OF the picture at the same time
that Peggy O'Lfara, realizing that
she was no longer being held a pris-
oner, caught up q teakwood tabou-
ret and with Il precipitated her
self on the ~preoccupied Legar.
He ignored that flank attack, how
ever, for the Iron Claw suddenly found
himself confronted by a figure OF more
importance than either the spindle
legged girl or a painted gunman.
Out from behind that tattered can
vas had emerged a man wearing q
yellow mask, tossing to one side a
slender blowpipe as he came. Before
he could regain his feet after that hur-
ried leap from the mRntel shelf, Legar
himself had dropped the IRE tongs and
whipped a revolver from his pocket.
This he leveled directly at TIE body
Of the Laughing Mask. But before
he could pull the trigger, Peggy's
tabouret struck against his out
stretched arm, knocking the weapon
up in tho air.
By this time the Laughing Mask
was up on his feet and face to face
with his enemy. Before the revolver
could again be brought into play Use

went down before a clean-cut blow
from his opponent. He recovered him
self sufficiently, however. TO roll to
where his fallen revolver lay. But
before he could level that irearm at
his adversary the Laughing Mask, re-
Numbering that even the officers OF
the law were no longer his friends,
dived out through the small door at
the e Of the studio and disappeared
from sight, for already the sound Of
O'Mara and his rescuing party could
be heard as they swarmed up the
stairs.
The Iron Claw himself heard those
sounds, drew himself together. and

two Of his followers. IN the meantime,
entered Aimick's studio on the pre-
tense Of being a IRE arshaIs inspec-
Tor, caught the artist or his guard,
and carried him bound and gagged and
helpless to one Of the small back
rooms Of the studio building.
Peggy herself, before starting out
IN answer 20 that summons, was still
somewhat uneasy in mind over recent
events. So she left word with her
father to call for her not Iater than
eleven o'clock.
But more than Dan O'Mara called
for HIS daughter that night, for ten
minutes after her departure from the
cottage Margery Golden's limousine
drew up at the door. Margery's eyes
widened when o'Mara explained the
reason Of his daughters absence from
home.
But an artist like Frank Aimick
would eve be able to work az night"
she argued. with growing alarm. HE
must lave daylight for working in
color
Dan o'Mara turned to the table at
his side.
Here's his message, plain as day,
written in his own hand writin'," was
the puzzled workman's only explana-
ton.
Margery took the message in her
hand and studied It. Then her color
faded a little.
THAT is not Frank Aimick's writ
lng!" she suddenly announced.
I'VE must get to that studio as fast
as my car can carry us.
Peggy O'Mara, in the meantime,
was being confronted by more than
one surprise. The first came with her
arrival at the Aimick studio, when
the stranger who opened the door in
response to her knock informed her
that the artist was out, but would re-
turn in a minute or two. The C
ond came with the quiet movement
OF yet another nan who sidled up to
the studio door and promptly locked
and barred 1t. But the greatest sur
prise Of all awaited her as she turned
Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1917-03-16

from the door and saw Legar himself
standing before her.
She stood there. white Tipped, star
ing from one evil face to the other as
Legar's companions closed in about
her.
You're q fine bunch o. cradle
snatchers!" she finally and wrathfully
burst out at them, with the ultimate
and reckless anger of desperation in
her eyes. You're a grand army O.,
heroes, you are, to come FIVE strong
agin' a girl like melt
stop that brat!" commanded the
irate Legar. And there was a general
movement in the direction Of the blaz-
ing-eyed girl.
There vas one man in that group,
however, who did not join in that
movement. The reason for this lay
in the fact that at that moment he
happened to be looking up at the paint
ing of THE Vigilante.'
He was about to reach for a heavy
easel-peg, TO fling at the canvas, when
he suddenly Strengthened up, clapped
a hand to his shoulder, and turned
about. There was a look Of mingled
wonder and incredulity on his face.
Then he slowly drew from the fieshy
part of his upper arm a small steel
dart, little bigger than a knitting
needle.
The next moment a second man,
moving across the room TO catch up a
curtain cord with which TO tie the
captured girl. felt a sudden sting in
his hip, stopped abruptly and point
cd with a shout Of anger toward the
canvas above the mantel.
Still another OF Legar's followers,
not realizing the meaning Of that cry,
stepped forward and stared at the
painting. Out OF the barrel-end Of the
painted rife, as he did so, shot still
another dart which buried itself in his
neck
"Th' darts!" he uumbled, ais thick
ly as a drunken man might. 18th
darts re druggedi"
But even before those mumhled
words were spoken the sWarthy-
skinned Mauki, trying to hold the still
struggling Peggy o'Mara down on q
divan, felt a sharp pain above his
shoulderblade, turned about, and saw
Legar run across the room and catch
up the heavy brass IRE tongs from b0-
side the mantel end.
The paintingl" squeaked Mauh,
ataggarng out againS the model.
Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1917-03-16

stared helplessly about the disman,
tied studio. Then the instinct of self
preservation reasserted itself. He ran
to the back of the room, dived into a
kitchenette, found a small door in its
wall, swung it open, discovered a
dumb-waiter shaft in front Of him, and
escaped to the street.
The Corridors Of Dread.
Margery Golden, as she sat in the
taxicab which carried her homeward,
was comforted by the thought that she
had at least saved the life of a factory
girl to whom she stood indebted for
her own escape from death. The
further thought that she had sent Dan
O'Mara and his exhausted daughter
safely home in her own luxurious
limousine even reconciled her to the
somewhat stuffy-alred public convey
ance in which she found herself. She
blinked m~editatively 0lt at the back
Of the heavy faced OLIVER so sullenly
and yet so adroitsy plotting her
through the tanglo Of trafic. Then the
abstraction suddenly went from her
eyes and the liaNessness from her
pose. For, from hi back window of

IL front Of her she caught sight Of a
peering face. And IL took no second

ment she saw the red-wheeled taxicab
come to a stop, commanded her driver
to draw IL under the shadow OF a
dense row OF catalpa trees. There
from the running board OF her car,
she beheld Legar step out on the road,
