Ansley, are discussing q series OF
rebberies by an Individual known
as the Midnight Masquer, who, In
variably attired as an aviator, has
long defied the police. Joseph Mall

ball that night, at which the Mas
quer has threatened to appear and
rob the guests. Fell and Ansley,
on their way to the affair, meet q
girl dressed as Columbine, seeming

accompanies them to the ball.
Lucie Ledanois, recently the ward
of her uncle, Joseph Maillard, ls

He turns out to be Prince Gramont.

In the garage Hammond switched
on the fights of the car. BY the glow
they disposed their burdens in the lug
gage compartment of the tonneau,
which held them neatly. The COM
partment closed and locked, they re-
turned into the house and dismissed
the affair as settled.
Upon the following morning Gra-
mont, who usually breakfasted en- PEN
sion with his hostess, had barely seat
ed himself at the table when he per-
ceived the figure of Hammond at the
rear entrance of the dining room. The
chauffeur beckoned him hastily.

was breathing heavily, and seemed to

ing portals of the Exeter National
bank. Entering the building, he sent
his card to the private Office Of the
president; moment later he was
ushered in, and was closeted with 10
seph Maillard.
The interior Of the Exeter National
reflected the stern personality that
ruled It, The bank was dark, old
fashioned, conservative, guarded with
much effrontery of iron grills and bars
against the evil doer.
The window men greeted their Gus
toners with infrequent smiles, with
caution and reserve so great that it
was positively chilly. Suspicion
seemed in the air. The banks reputa-
ton for guarding the sanctity Of
wealth seemed to rest heavily upon
each pair Of bowed shoulders.
The business customers Of this bank
found their affairs handled coldly, eff
fciently, with an inhuman precision
that was admirable. 1t was good for
business, and they liked it. There
were no mistakes.
People who were accustomed to
dealing with bankers of cordial smile
and courteous word, people who liked
to walk into a bank and to be met
with a personal greeting, did not
come here, nor were they wanted
here. Chance customers who entered
the sacred portals were duly cowed
and put in their proper place. Most
of them were, that is. Occasionally
some intrepid soul appeared who
seemed imperyious to. the gloomy
chill, who seemed even to resent It.
One of these persons was now stand
ling in the lobby and. staring around
with a cool impudence which drew I'M
favorable glances from the clerks.
He was decently dressed fellow,
obviously no customer of this sacro-
sanct place, obviously stranger to
its interior. Beneath a rakishly
cooked soft hat beamed countenance
that bore look of sele-assured imper-
tinent deviltry. After one look at that
countenance the assistant cashier
crooked a hasty finger at the floor
guard, who nodded and walked to the
intruder with polite query.
"Can help you, STRIP

guard with cool stare. then broke

trimmed with lace, promises to sup
