A boxed ra- dio came up from the Bonaven- tuire’s hold and was swung out into the snub-nosed, broad-beamed pow- ‘er boat that thumped against the steamer’s hull, and that was already loaded, one might imagine, beyond the capacity of even two of her kind. "And yet, it seemed, there was always room for something more— another barrel or two of flour, an- other drum of gasoline or oil, a bale of this or a case of that. Lastly there would be the mail But the mail bag was not usu- _ ally either bulky or heavy. [t gen- erally seemed to have an emaciated and dejected look about it as though conscious its poverty-stricken state would not even enable it to dole out #0 tnuch as a letter apiece to that little cluster of houses on the shore there. Colin, leaning over the coastal steamer’s rail, watched the scene as he had watched a similar one many times before, always with un- flagging interest. ~ His mii. harked back over the four days and a half since he had left Quebec. Not that a great dis- tance in actual mileage had been covered, as the time consumed * might imply; but there had been in- numerable stops like this one, for the Bonaventure was the liaison be- tween the lone villages on the coast and the source of supplies and ne- eessities which came from Montreal and Quebec. He rodded thoughtfully to him- self. He had gone ashore frequent- fy, walked through the villages, talked with the peopie, and had come to admire them for their courage, their. faith, and their simple pbi- losophy of life under conditions that ‘were so often those of obvious hard- ship—and in his heart to pity them for, what seemed to him, their pro- found loneliness and {solation. A Queer, strange, new country to him, $0 near to civilization, and yet so immeasurably far away! It was—— ‘The boat alongside, fair down to bér gunwales, cast: off.

Cap 4 l'Orage — Storm @ngugh if there were anything sig- nificant in the name—for him? On the face of it, It all looked simple enough—to deliver a letter to one known as Joo Lazarre at Cap & Orage, that was all. But it wasn't all. Granting the delivery of the let ter—what then? What was he, Co- lin, to do? Go back to New York, take up his normal life again? 'T wouldn't last very long! The Mask, witness Reddy's end, did not delay attentions of that sort un- duly. As it stood now, Colin Hewitt, so far as the Mask was concerned, had—well, vanished. He had left no trace behind him, no trail to follow; he was confident of that, And to make assurance doubly sure, he was mo longer even the “Routh” of th hotel register. His name now w Howard — Donald Howard. He smiled wryly, How many names had the Mask? He was running the Mask & close second! s All very well! But to resume his iife as Colin Hewitt in New York as matters now stood? Merely sul elde! What to do, then? So much de pended on Lazarre—on Lazarre's attitude, What was in that letter? {Why had Reddy laid so much stress fpon it? What would Lazarre do? Reddy had stated that Lazarre | Was working for the Mask—and be Heved that the Mask had “inter | ests” of some sort on the coast here. Had there been something be- tween Reddy and Lazarre that would cause the latter to swerve in his allegiance to the Mask due to Reddy's murder? If so, that seemed to indicate the way out for him, Co- lin—a clue to the Mask’s identity through Lazarre, though at the same time being careful to protect Lazarre, That latter, as a rider, was tacitly embodied in his, Colin’s, promise to Reddy. But if, through Lazarre, he could get a clue to the Mask’s identity! A savage lust welled up in Colin’s soul. There was a heavy score to settie. He had seen Reddy shot down as casually as one might swat a fly on a window pane, and his own world was shattered, his own life dependent now on matching his wits to win against the Mask. What a story it would have made! He would have gloried in it. But, damp it, this was no story—it was stark actuality! Well, his solution, so far as that end of the problem was involved, seemed to have worked out satisfac- torily up to now. He was here on a bit of a holiday, that was all—want- ed to see something of the north coast, and, later, Labrador, and later still, Newfoundland perhaps.. Where the spirit led. Some salmon-fishing, too, though he understood that most of the rivers were privately owned —but that could be hadanyway in Newfoundland. ® He had merely elected to make Cap 4 l’Orage his first stop because he had been informed that was one of the few places well down on the coast where anything in the way of boarding-house or hotel accommo- dation was to be obtained. A good reason! And, from what he had seen in his jaunts ashore, he mentally con- gratulated himself that Reddy had indicated Cap 4 l’Orage as a starting point—no matter how primitive the accommodation there might prove to be! ae this was perfectly logical, perfectly natural. He alone at moments had thrown side glances at his own story—simply because, of course, he alone knew that he had something to conceal. As a matter of fact no one had dreamed of ques- tioning his story. He had unhesitat- ingly been accepted at his own face value. His glance traveled up and down the deck—a composite picture—the tourists making a holiday cruise to Newfoundland and back; pulp men and timber cruisers bound for vari- ous points; the casual passengers, local inhabitants mostly, and whole families of these sometimes, that kept getting on and off, paying visits or perhaps migrating from one place to another. A queer potpourri! The rough- and-ready rubbing shoulders with the more immaculately groomed in he.rty camaraderie. He knew al- most everyone on board. The lack of restraint had been delightful. There were always tales of the early days on the.coast by. the oldtimers. Sometimes in English, sometimes in French, And always there were eager listeners, Excursions ashore when the Bonaventure was discharging for an hour or more; a laughing, drenched party often enough when there was no wharf and there was a bit of a sea on, A jolly, carefree crowd. A vague smile crossed his lips. He was the only one on board bent on tracking down a murderer! ‘Oh, yes! He had fitted into his own little niche perfectly. He: had no doubt of that. In one particular per- haps too perfectly! He was Mr. Hovard—Mr. Donald Howard, a broker from Boston. There were mo- ments when he infinitely preferred his own name—not for any eupho nious reason! Her deck chair was unoccupied. Had been for the last hour, Perhaps she had gone below to pack. Per- haps he would better do the same. In a few hours the Bonaventure | would dock at Cap & l'Orage. The purser had told him they were the only two leaving the ship there. She, like everyone else, had accepted him at face value. Well, did he wish she hadn't? Dama! He went down to his cabin, grinned not humorously at the blatant sortment of fishing paraphernalia | he had acquired—and would prob- ably never use—and then proceeded to pack his bags, But his hands worked, so did his mind.

Science knows there is no other way to make cigarette tobaccos mild and mellow. Every process used in the manufacture of Chesterfield cigarettes is modern, scientific and clean—visitors are always impressed with the cleanliness of the Chesterfield factories. Every ingredient, including the paper, is pure—nothing that you eat or drink is tested more carefully. And Chesterfields are made right; the right length, the right-diameter, and filled right —a detail perhaps, but if a cigarette is “to satisfy” it must be made right. Evesything about Chesterfield is as good as money can buy or Science kaows about — you have our word for this. And Chesterfields are milder and taste better—this much you can prove for yourself.
