SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1933. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Povoccccccccccvecocccoocescoesecece | The_ UI DDEN DOOR BY FRANK L, PACKARD Peeacecvcccaooassessesenses SYNOPSIS: Colin Hewitt, who now calls himseif Donald Howard @s part of the scheme he has adopt- «4 to evade the Mask, New York underworld kilter, tog his effects in his cabin on the Bonaventure, preparing to land at Cap 4 V’Orage, remote settlement on the worth shore of the Gulf of St, Lawrence, The Mask killed Colin’s friend Red- dy Turner, but not befors Reddy had pledg¢d Colin to deliver a letter to Joe Lazarre, who lives near Cap @ VOrage and presumably is em- sloved by the Mask himself, The Mask is said to have “interests” blay. Chapter 12 GERMAINE TREMBLAY ‘HE captain, Captain Rainville, had introduced her to him the second day out. “Mademoiselle Ger- maine Tremblay”—the captain had lingered over the name affectionate- iy. “You have only to be down here but a very little while, Mr. Howard, to know what the name of Trem- blay means on the coast.” She had flushed prettily. “Captain Rainville is always like that!” she had protested. “Don’t you believe a word he says. He is a great tease.” But Captain Rainville, who had him- self been born on the coast and knew everybody, had been even con- servative in what he had sald. ‘Those of the coast who were aboard had treated her with the utmost def- erence; and Colin heard much about the fame of the Tremblays and their connection with the north shore. They had been amongst the earll- est settlers, the first Tremblay com- ing originally from France. Several generations. Prospering. Open-hand- ed. Respected. In short, the story of the Tremblays was the story of the north shore—and vice versa. Colin frowned over his packing. Her father was Dr. Lcuis Tremblay of Cap & l’Orage, the present head of the family. He had married an English girl. A romance begun in his college days in Montreal. But his wife was now dead. There was only @ daughter and @ son left, The son, following in his father’s. footsteps, had graduated in medicine in Mont- real, and was now taking a special course in New York. Germaine— Mademoiselle Tremblay — was re- turning trom a visit tosome friends ip Quebec. Marvelous hair—like burnished gold where the sun glinted on it. She inherited that from her mother, too, probably. Someone had said she could drive a dog team with the best of them—and yet she was scarcely up to hig.shoulder, 4 Colin went up.on deck. Her ¢hair ‘was still. unoccupied. He flung him- self into his own chair and tugged @ book out of his pocket. For some unaccountable reason he did not feol lke talking to anybody—not even ‘to Francois Joliecoeur, the old timber cruiser over there, who told @mtrancing tales of the coast and Bis own adventures—alas, not al- ways true! A priceless old liar! A great character for a book written around these parts! A book? What book? Would he, Colin, ever write another? He had his own skin now, to put it bluntly, to think of first. Somewhere a winch suddenly sputtered and clanked—noisily, dis- eordantly. They were getting cargo up on deck. A sure sign that another port was near at hand. Cap 4 !’Orage. He looked up. She had just emerged from the eaptain's room up there off the lower bridge, the captain following her through the doorway. Colin heard her laugh ring out as she gayly spurned tho captain's offer of as- aistance, and came lithely down the ladder. : How would he describe her if he were introducing her as a heroine to bis readers? He wasn’t much good when it came to his “girl” stuff never had been. Always afraid of it. But he wasn't describing her now in a lame and groping paragraph as be rose from his chair to meet her and they automatically drifted over to the rail together—he was just looking at her. ‘HE blue eyes smiled at him frankly out of a face whose only cosmetics were the sun and the out-of-doors. “I thought you'd gone down to pack,” he said. “Oh, no, @ laughed, “I did that before lunch, except, of course, just the few finishing touches. And you?” “All set,” he answered. “Captain Rainville chased me away.” She waved her hand shore- ward, “We'll be in shortly. That's Cap & lOrage over there. See that dald old mountain sticking out into the water with a lighthouse on top of it? The town ls just this side of it/ in that little bay, Yon can begin te see the houses now.” “I see.” He nodded, “Storm Cape. I've always meant to ask how it came by its name.” Studying her, he saw the smile fade from her eyes as she shook her head gravely. “T am afraid it has earned it,” she said ‘seriously. “I can’t explain it. here, like the open sea, and you But the storms do seem to center here and at times are very violent. mous for its fogs, we seem to get most without any warning at all. The storms are really very treach- erous, and there is scarcely a year goes by that one of our men is never heard of again. And another’s gor- tow in a little place like ours, you know, is one’s own too.” He nodded his head. “I can well appreciate that,” he came by its name, {s it?” She nodded her head in turn; and then her moo¢ changed swiftly and she was smiling at him again—half teasingly, and yet half in earnest, too, it seemed. about you ever since I knew you were getting off at Cap a l’Orage?” He fell in with her mood. “How awful!” he exclaimed trag- feally. “No, really!” she returned quick- ly. “Madame Frénier does the best she can with her so-called ‘hotel,’ but it is far from being a modern hostelry and far, I am afraid, from what you will expect. It’s mostly | post office and general store. You know, we are supposed to be hospi- table here on the coast, and I am | sure father would take you com- pletely under his wing, only”—her faee clouded suddenly—“I don’t think he’s very well. “That's what has brought me back @ little sooner than I had expected. But, in any case, I promise you that you won't be utterly deserted... if you like an occasional tramp through the woods... and I've got a rather | jolly little. motorboat, not terribly swanky, but a brave little craft just the same.” “Glorious!” he exclaimed enthust- astically. “As for the rest, lam sure that Madame Frénier and I will get along famously... And besides—” He studied her for a moment, His thoughts raced suddenly, Why not? He couldn't go around everywhere asking for Joe Lazarre! This was | the obvious, the natural, the least suspicious move to make. He didn’t ; like that—with her! But what could he do? “And besides,” he went on, “I'm not sure that I am going to be whol- | ly a stranger in a stra:ge land. A | He | friend of a friend of mine!” Janghed a little. “You' know! 1 be- Neve he’s down here at Cap a V'Orage. His name is Lazarre. Joo —short for Joseph, of course.” “Lazarre?" she repeated, shook her head. “It’s not an uncom- mon name by any means, but I am | sure | know everyone in Cap a} YOrage, and there is no one by that name in the village.” Colin dug for a cigarette and lighted {t. Lazarre wasn’t the man’s | real name, of course. Everybody in | - the whole business seemed to tn- dulge in’ fictitious names—himself included! But Reddy aad said that it was as Lazarre the man was known here. Not so easy, apparent- ly, from what she had just sald, to Pick up the trail! And yet he had scarcely expected to find the mana resident of Cap & l’Orage. Reddy's uncertainty ag to Lazarre’s exact whereabouts had suggested a decfd- ed question mark in that regard. But someone tf» Cap a l'Orage must have seen or heard of Joe Lazarre. “Oh, well,” he said lightly, “it really doesn’t matter.” “Wait!” she cried out Impulsive- ly, He waited, He liked the dainty way in which her brow was sud- denly profoundly puckered. “Of course!” she said. “I hadn't thought of that! If he’s a friend of 4 friend of yours, and moving in ex- alted social circles"—she was a lit- tle witch—she made him a staid bow—“perhaps he’s one of the men who come down every year to the club.” “Tae alub?” be echeed. “Then there fs a club at Cap & l1Orere?” (Copyright, 1933.
