Chapter 19 MADEMOISELLE MASQUE As the liner Collositania was warped to its dock, Aileen appeared on deck with Channing, wearing | her new mask. They had boarded | the ship in the lower harbor. | There was no one else gang-plank as the two d Alleen was wrapped in a long fu coat, but its turned up collar did not hide the new mask “Pipe th> dame with t! nese map!” one astonished exclaimed. A fussillade of cameras began shooting at Aileen. She and| Channing were surrounded as they stepped on the pier. The reporters knew Channing and pleaded him for a clue to the masked lady identit ! “Really, I'm sorry.” He shook his head. “I can't say a word.” “Track ‘em!”™ The dean of lhr‘ ship-news men snapped. | Arrived at the Ambassador, Ai- Jeen and Channing made their es-| cape upstairs. ! Jimmy lingered below in the lob- ! by, trying to seem unobtrusive as the reporters who had trailed Ai- leen’s taxi hurried in. Knowing Jimmy, they all pounced upon him suddenly. “What’s up?” he inquired They confessed their troubles. Jimmy registered surprise, then’ a light seemed to dawn upon him. | “Say, maybe I can help you after all” ‘he said. “I remember now 1 did hear something about this Mademoiselle Masque, Call up the United Broadcasting Company.

When he pays for publicity, he wants his money's worth. By the way. What about that telegram? Have you two heard any more?” “Not a thing,” said Jimmy. “Well T'll bet you do. What's her name—Adrenalin? —won't miss a chance like this. Not if I know the dame!” ; “Not if you—what?” Jimmy ex- claimed. “You mean you've found out who she is?” “Well, maybe I know what I} know,” said Klein. “Then again, maybe I don't.
