IN MEMoRIAM

In sad but loving remembrance of John
B. ClendanieL who departed this life,
March 2, 1920:
The month of March again is here,
To us the saddest of the year
So sad, so sudden was the call
His sudden death surprised us all
But memory keeps the dear one near,
Although today is just one year.

IN MEMoRIAM

In loving memory of our dear husband
and father, Walter w. Truitt, who de-
parted this life, February 25th, 1920.
Walter dear, one year has passed
Since we have seen your loving face
And today our hearts still grieVe
No other can take your place.
Although he had a purpose
We knew not the reason why
That Jesus took him from us
Tho his time had come to die.
This world is full of trouble
And also full of pain
Yet to us it would seem like Heaven
To have him here again.
Sadly missed by wife and children 1tp

Garth Is Shown a GRAY Mask

/ THAT depends on whether hold
the. ace"
"suppose you take a little stroll
with me-"
Garth arose and followed him down
the aisle.
They paused on the platform.
Garth thought it likely that one of
the inspectors men was in the car,
but of course the follow would not
confess himself by stepping to the
vestibule at their heels. 1t would be
enough for him to know that they
were on board and that the train was
not scheduled to stop before reaching
the Grand Central Station.
Garth knew that, too. Therefore
he could not understand why his con-
ductor stopped and with an air of
confidence opened the vestibule door
and raised the trap. Garth started,
for, as If the engineer were an &C
complete and had received some
subtle signal, the brakes began to
grind while the train lost its speed
rapidly.
Tho slender man grasped Garth's
arm, and, as the train stopped, leaped
with him to the right of way and
hurried him into the shadows at the
foot of the embankment.
He saw ahead the red and green
lights of an open draw-bridge. He
understood now, and marvelled at
the simplicity of the trick. 1t had
been only necessary to send some
small boat to loiter in the draw at
the proper moment to assure the
security of the conspirators.
Immediately Garth lost all sense
of direction. The other led a stealthy,
circular course through a lumber
yard, across fence, around darkened
buildings, and finally onto a small
wharf. A craft was moored- there.
1t lay in darkness except for its navi-
eating lights. and, as Garth looked,
even these were extinguished.
The slender man glided across the
wharf, and, Garth at his heels, step
ped to the deck. There he reached
over the railing. dropping something
from his hand. Garth heard three
splashes at regular intervals. A blade
of light flashed sharply athwart the
darkness and became an open door

She nodded.

was sure he'd have a stool with you

trip up now. I've worked too hard.
You've told me what mess you made
last time. when that cop, Kridel, was
croaked. Where will we be II any
thing like that's pulled AGAIN."
The girl glanced rapidly around.
Then, advancing steadily, she raised
her hand and pointed at Garth. She
spoke evenly.
"Who could 1t be but this man that
hides his face? There's no doubt
about the rest of you. You only have
to see, Slim, whether this fellow. Sim
mons, has got face"
HE had the word" the leader
answered, N"and look at that scar.
But you're right, Nora. If there's a
bull here he's behind that mask"
"Then make him take 1t off," she
said.
Garth's croaking voice was torn
with dismay.
mo. I warn you. Spare me and
yourselves that. It's not pretty, what
you'd see.
'If this isn't Simmons" said the
leader, we're out Of the running for

we gain by making show OF him7
This is what I was going to propose:
Only one of us need look"
"That'll do" Nora agreed. "Welll
Who?"
Let George look" said the leader.
Look yourself" George answered.
I'm no dime museum fiend."
Suddenly Garth arose.
Maybe the lady" he croaked.
She's SO set on it. A pleasant sight
for ladies'"
Nora flushed angrily.
''I'll call that bluff"
Garth caught the expressions Of
the others. He noticed their ready
hands. While his fingers rose to the
fastenings of the gray mask he turned
slowly and faced Nora.
Holding her with his eyes, he
slipped the gray mask aside.

and walked with an unconcern that

would bear to each inmate of the
house chloroform, or, under neces-
sity, something more permanently
silencing.
When Nora had unlocked the house
door he found himself brushing
against her in the hall. Then he was
flung into stealthy. sure, and dread
full whirlpool of action. He heard
feline movements on the stairs. q
muff1ed thud in the darkness ahead,
from the second floor shrill cry.
He waited, painting. Upstairs
someone raped sharply three times.
A pocket lamp flashed ahead, throw
ing a white shaft against finely
grained mahogany. A hand in the
shaft signalled him, and he crept
forward until he stumbled over a
round, inert mass which lay just out
side the room where the white light
searched the mahogany. 1t was a
man, deftly bound, and bandaged
about the mouth, the ears. the eyes.
The mahogany formed the doors
of large and very wide cabinet.
George knelt in front of this, insert
ing slender, cleaning tools in the
lock with the adroitness of watch
maker. He opened the doors and
nodded to Garth. The light glowed
now on the sleek, steel belly of a
safe; and, as Garth, a trifie confused.
reached out a steadying hand. he
realized that the walls of this room
were of steel, too. His only chance
was that the safe might balk George
for some time.
Plenty of stime, isn't there?"
Garth croaked anxiously.
Ought to be-" George answered.
"Everything's covered now. Didn't
expect to find the Waterman where
we did. though"
Although the water streamed from
Georges face, Garth saw the man
shiver. It started an expositary train

Garth fingered a frayed sheet of
white paper.
II am not afraid II I can see the
formula" he said.
The leader turned to Nora.
You're sure there's some of the
stuff In the safe with the formula?
The foreigner wouldn't dicker with
out sample to analyze."
II saw the formula and the sacks
put in the safe tonight" she an
swered.
George shook his head.
Mora, you're wonder"

ously. Nothing bu hard work. An
imbecile could have made friends

The leader glanced at the gray
mask.
That's up to Simmons now" he
said.
Garth's fingers played with the
piece of white paper.
You haven't told me where the
house is" he said.
The moment the leader had en-
swered. Garth was standing on the
bench. He waved his arm. Suddenly
he blew out the lamp.

AS the others crept to the door he
scratched rapidly and silently with a
match on the paper the location of
the house, the nature of the Job. and
an appeal for help. When he was
through he heard the others coming
back.
''If your nerves jump like that,
Simmons, what a chance-we'll have!'

cts time" he said. They're
asleep in the house by now"
They followed him Snto a stone
mason's yard. A taxicab waited
there. Garth manoeuvred so that he
had a seat by the window. He let
his hand, which clenched the piece of
paper, dangle through. Such police
men as he saw were Indifferent until
crossing One Hundred and Twenty
fifth Street he noticed one who looked
straight at the cab. He let the paper
fiutter from his fingers, but he did
not dare glance back to see If the
policeman had picked 1t up.
The cab halted in dark side street

way. framing a troubled face.

way, framing a troubled race.
Garth, showed from behind,
stumbled over the sill into the pres
ence of five men who circled about
him, like cats, wary and suspicious.
The slender man slipped in after
him, closing the door.
%The cops are drunk with sleep"
he said.
Garth breathed again. He glanced
at the men with a sharp personal
curiosity. One, sallow youth with
untidy yellow hair and large-rimmed
eyeglasses, might have been a
student of the most devoted species.
Another cunningly resembled a we'll
to-do business man, while third had
the clothing and the air of tramp.
The fourth. with his dapper tailor
ing and ferretlike face. was more
familiar to the expert in crime.
These, however, Garth passed over
quickly for the fifth. This man
brought his huge, handsome figure
forward and leaned heavily on the
table. In this man, whom the others
called George, Garth perhaps foresaw
a special and unintelligible menace.
The slender man, who clearly was
the leader, crossed the room.
He swung on Simmons.
Now, listen. All you know Is that
we wanted a scientific fellow who
doesn't use his profession exclusively
for the benefit of humanity. Also
one without any nerves. We're wait
ing for one more. At first all you
have to do is to keep close to George.
We're going to crack a safe; but you
needn't be ashamed of this job, Sim
mons"
Just then three faint and regular
|splashes came from the water.
They all held their poses of the
moment statuesquely until. at nod
from the leader. the intellectual-look-
ing youth arose and moved towards
the door. He turned the lock and
opened the door little. 1t was
pushed boisterously against him, and
Garth, his view unobstructed now,
gazed incredulously at Nora's blaz-
ing. painted face.
For a moment the room went
black. All at once he realized that
her presence at this unique rendez-
vous must be without the slightest
ambiguity. Perhaps It was an Ill
advised attempt to rescue him from
the net. He waited tensely for some
word. His heart sank. She couldn't
recognize him behind the mask.
Whole force at your heels. Nora7"
the leader asked gently.
