ting point in the story of "The Iron
Claw" were Margery Golden learns,
, with great joy, the identity of the
Laughing Mask, while we are still
left guessing, firmly believing, how
ever, that we also have the question
solved. Margery is again called upon
to hide this mysterious parsonage. this
time in her own apartments. This is
an intensely interesting number. The
story, in brief, is as follows:
The Laughing Mask suddenly ap-
pears at the Golden House and init
mates to Margery that the missing
secretary. Davy, he may still be alive.
But the officers are on his trail and
he is compelled to flee. He goes in
search of Legar and finds him in a
hotel. He is discovered and made a
prisoner. However, he contrives to
communicate with the office by means
of an electric light, and is rescued.
Legar gets away. The Mysterious
Mask then goes again to the Golden
home and asks Margery to secrete
him. This she refuses until he re-
veals his identity. Accordingly, he
tears off his mask and wipes the put
ty from his face. But the disclos-
ure is not for US, however.

Monday April so, 1917, was a big
day for the McDonogh No. chool
when they won their third straight
game by score of to 0.
CrOsSman, although having a very
strong team, never reached further
than second base. While the visitors
are little they filled the bags three
times; the shouting began when the
visitors allowed a walk and hit in
the third inning, but they died on the
bags, while Treadaway pitched nine
straight strikes over the plate.
The only run was scored by the Wis
itOrs when Umbach the outfielder led
OFF with a single, next man up pop
flied to center, and the third brother
of the Treadaway family took a walk.
while Rau struck out Peterson, the
next man walked, filling the bags.
Holton drove Umbach in with a long
single, still leaving the bags crowd
ed, the inning ended when French
was put out at first.
The fifth and last inning came when
Treadaway allowed two hits, but they
died there, when the little pitcher
killed the other three men.
The McDonogh No. school team
is very strong, and is made up of the
three boys of the Treadaway family,
and many we'll raised boys.
The feature of the game was Hol-
tons hit, and French's stunt which he
pulled off on second base. The team
goes over to meet Beuregard Satur-
day May 5, at the Fair Grounds. If
this game is won the school will get
the championship.
