Chapter Seven COLIN’S VENTURE FULL moon flooded the little courtyard with light, and his eyes, entirely of their own volition, it seemed, searched every corner of it narrowly. It was deserted—empty. No one was there, Of course not! Who, or what, had he expected to see? A lurking shadow? He shrugged his shoulders in sud- den irritation, as he stepped forward now across the courtyard, and yet as he gained the street he found himself instinctively glancing again 4m all directions about him, That telephone conversation, of course! ‘The fact that the Mask had seem- xt ally remarked that he'd be spending! the next couplé of nights out of town, and wouldn’t be calling at the hos- pital again. : = It remafned only to get into the room ence occupied by Reddy, Well, he had the “open eesame,” hadn't he? Those skeleton keys? He amiled suddenly—a little erookedly. This was getting to be very much like one of his own chapters! He had en- acted scenes like this a hundred times~-vicariously—in his books. A queer turn of fate that he was to live one of those scenes now instead of write it! He felt his nerves tingle suddenly at the prospect before him. Non- sense! Simple enough! Not a single one of his heroes would have batted an eyelash, The whole street where he was going was filled with speak easies—people at the peepholes waiting to pass inspection or pre sent credentials, No one would pay any attention to him if it took him & few momente to open a front door; “Who-knew what might ‘happen? limgly been conversant with his \every movement that dey! He. laughed shortly. Well, there wasn't anyone in sight here, any- ‘way. And yet— “Oh, all righti” Colin muttered isavagely to himself. “Absurd, of jeourse; but no use taking any ehances! If anyone is sticking around, I'll be delighted to give him @ run for his money.” A taxi hove in sight, and Colin {natiea it, Reddy's erstwhile lodging {was in the upper Forties between (Pifth and Sixth avenues. Colin gave ithe chauffeur an address on Fifth. |Avenue a block away from his ac- jtual destination, and, assured by a ‘awift glance up and down the street ‘that there was no one near enough ‘to warrant even the suspicion of be- “ing concerned in his movements, stepped into the cab. He wasn’t at all so badly off physt- \eally—not perhaps quite up to par, but fit enough. It wasn’t as he had been bedridden all the time. Ho had voluntarily extended his stay in the hospital because, having’ neither kith nor kin tm the world ,and no one to look after him, except old Mrs. his landlord's wife, who came to keep his diggings in order, he could recuperate there ‘etter than anywhere else. Yes, he ‘was quite all right. And, besides, there was a very good and valid reason why he should go to Reddy's old room to- night. It wasn't 80 easy to steal into @ house and take down a bedroom eurtain pole without anybody know- ing anything about it! But tonight Reddy's old room was unoccupied, that was all. LIN screwed his head around and looked out through the back window. Several cars had passed him, but there was none behind. ‘That took care of that! He settled himself back in his seat again, He nodded reflectively to himself. Despite the fact that he had no fam- fly ties, he had not lacked for vie- ttors during his illness once he had been able to see them. Rather a heterogeneous lot! Personal friends of perfectly respectable social stat- Qs; the police; the members of then along the hall to the rear door | on the right; then five minutes at most in an unoccupied room—and out again. ‘B® half closed his eyes, That apart, what. was it all about? Even if he delivered the letter ‘he would nevér know. Had it anything to do with this worse than pervert who called himself, like some ehar acter out of blatant melodrama, the Mask? He hoped so. 5 The car slowed down and drew up to the curb. Colin glanced out. It was the street corner he had given the taxicab driver as an address, stepped to the pavement as the mf: opened the door,- paid the other, stood there. for a moment, as be watched the cab rattle away, and while @ car traveling at a rate that defied all speed laws whiszed | by, then he cros#ed to the west side of Fitth Avenue, walked a block north —and swung around the first corner! though! neaded toward Sixth Avenue Apart from a rather hilarious sex, from s basement door, and's parked) car here and there, the street at the! moment showed little of life. Exactly! The life at this was} than those for which they had been erected. Colin emiled thinly. He) had a “membership card” himself to the “club” he was just passing, | He had been walking briskly. He was now halfway down the block and he suddenly slowed his paca The house into which he proposed | to make that “felonious” entry should be just about here. Yes, here it was! Alied by the moonlight, he select- ed a key from among its fellows aad BADLY BEATEN IN SUNDAY GAMES| CHAMPION PIRATES ROMP OVER YOUTH'S TEAM 11-2; SLUGGERS BLANK FENIX; PAUL ALBURY UMPIRES The Pirates and Sluggers had a very easy time defeating their foes yesterday. The former smothered the Trojans, 11 to 2, while the Sluggers whitewashed El Fenix 7-0. Both games were loosely play- ed and proved uninteresting. Trojans, failing to live up to their good names, had no show against the City Champion Pirates, who. won an easy victory on 10 ‘\hits combined with nine bases on balls, a wild pitch, a passed ball and exactly half a dozen errors. Milton Arias, who hurled for the Waite bunch, lasted three and one third innings. How he got by with his easy ball pitch for that period is unimaginable. Pellicier was called on to finish the fourth frame but he was unable to make the grade. Lounders, an outfielder, pitched the next five cantos and did remarkably well despite the tact that he: hasn’t pitched for quite a while. In the second game the Sluggers {easily took E] Fenix into camp, shutting out Gareia’s bunch. How- ard Gates pitched a nice game for the winners, striking out eight bat- ters. Jose Avila was seen in ac- tion on the mound for the Fenix (BY JOVE) Since the proposed baseball game between the Veterans and Youths of 1938 scheduled for Labor Day has been announced, interest in the former feats of the old ball players has been revived, and ‘much discussion has been {heard about them.

LOUIS, July 31.—Two mod- ern baseball records were broken yesterday afternoon by Jerome “Dizzy” Dean and Catcher Jimmy Wilson, of the St. Louis Cardinals, which team grabbed two games from the Chicago Cubs. Dean struck out seventeen men and Wil- ,£0n put out eighteen in the first game of the two-ply affair. The Cards regained third place by their double victory over the Cubs and increased their string of victories to six ina row under Frankie Frisch’s leadership. The Boston Braves downed the j New York Giants with the aid of } Cantwell on the firing end. The ‘lean right-hander held the oppos- ing team to eight hits, The Phillies whipped the Dodg- ers when Flint Rhem held the Brooklyn outfit to seven hits. The Pittsburgh Pirates annexed both games of their double - bill , With the Cincinnati Reds. Ninth inning rallies carried the Pirates ,to victory in both. contests, aid Placed them a game and a_ half closer to the league-leading New York Giants. The Chicago White Sox emerged from their slump, breaking a nine- game losing streak, and defeated the St. Louis Browns in both games of their doubleheader. } The Tigers trimmed the Indians with Henry Greenberg and Pete Fox knocking out a home ryn ‘apiece, and the Red Sox halted the 'Mackmen as the result of a five- ‘yun drive by the Boston players in the first inning. The New York Yankees triumph- ed over the Senators behind the ‘pitching of Russ Van Atta, and »the Yanks bounced back into the ‘fight for the American League ead.
