PACKARD BOSCO DOC oC Oa eo OCC EO SASOSEEEEOOOEAOSOSSOEEOELECOES SYNOPSIS: Colin Hewitt learns first that the St. Lawrence River “club” where he had expected to deliver a mystertous letter to Joe Lazarre is really a den of thieves, one of the enterprises of the Mask, New York killer who has threat- ened Colin’s life. Laearre is the Mask’s tool. but also Colin’s only hope of deliverance. Now he learns the “club” is to be hi-jacked wader @ gang led by one Dollaire, He must warr Lagarre goes to Bouchard’s shack to ask him to FE yo him overland to he club, here he hears familiar voices. Chapter 19 THE SPY ‘OLIN moved forward again, but this time cautiously. And again he halted. He was within earshot now. The window sill was no more than waist high, and, hidden in the darkness himself, he could see plain ly into the interior of the shack. Larocque and Bolduc! Se Bouchard “was the spy! Bouchard, though Colin had never seen the fellow before, | was obviously the third man seated {there at the rough board table—a | big man, unshaven and unkempt. |And Bouchard at the moment was ‘tilting a bottle to his lips. | “Thousands, I tell you!” Bouchard jemeeiee) and thumped the bottle on the table by way of emphasis. “Me, 'l am telling you, I saw it. It fs un- derneath what they cal) their power house door was left open. After @ little while I looked in. There was a light there, and the dynamo was running, but I could not see anyone inside. “And then all at once a part of the floor lifted and—a man’s head was coming up. It was like he was riding on an elevator. I did not have time to see any more than I have told you a@ few minutes ago—but that is enough, eh? The man saw me. He fired at me—and I ran. i | i | i | “And pretty soon they were all in | the woods after me, but they were like puppy dogs chasing their own tafls. I did not go the way they thought I would go”—Bouchard burst into laughter again—“I went | baek to the power house, But there were two men left there to keep guard. It was no use staying there, so I said to myself, ‘Anatole, you will go home and get a little sleep.” Bouchard paused, wet his lips with his tongue, and looked longing- ly again at the bottle. Larocque, re lenting, pushed it toward him.

That is easy.” “No,” said Bouchard, and tilted the bottle again. “It is not so easy as ‘all that. They are not children, those fellows there—except in the woods.” He laughed suddenly, uproariously, as be once more wiped his lips. “There is a story about the children in the woods—eh?” “Shut up!” exclaimed Larocque sharply, “Don’t make so much noise, and don’t drink so much! How do you get down under the power house?” 4 Bouchard scrubbed at his shaven jow! wit) dirty fingers. “It is that of which | am going to tell you,” he answered with an un- ruffled grin. “How do you get down underneath, eh? Well, the floor is all cement. And It fs laid with grooves that make big squares—you under stand? But this fs not for the frost. Not It ig to fod} the eye.

Go on, Bouchard, with the rest of tt. How did you find this out?” Colin stirred—noiselessly—easing his muscles, He shared Larocque’s impationee. He bad heard a great deal—bdut also very little. What were those thousands that Bouchard talked about—what was the secret of this power house? Bouchaw''s little ratlike eyes were on the bottle—longingly, but it had been withdrawn from beyond bis reach. “It was yesterday morning, before it was light.” be explained. “1 was watching. | saw someone go trom the club to the power house, [t ts only a little way—maybe thirty, for. ty yards.

So you see now, eb, why | was not here this afternoon?” “That's all right, now that,we un- derstand,” Boldue conceded hearti- ly. “Well, did you find out anything more?” “No,” replied Bouchard with a throaty chuckle, “except that some of them were lost for sure nearly ‘all night, and that they do not search any more now. But what I found out Defore then I have not told you yet. 1 have stolen close to the club at night, and I have heard them talk. You bet! Listen! The big boss is a man they call the Mask.” “We will see who is the boss when we meet him!” observed Larocque grimly. Bouchard shook his head. “You will not meet him,” he stat- ed with a short laugh. “He is never there, He fs always in New York. I have heard them talk a lot about him and~I do not understand—but they do not seem to know who he fs themselves. That's funny, eh?—but it fs true. And I have heard them talk a lot about what they call W. P., that fs also in New York, but I do not understand about that either.” “New York is a long way off,” Larocque pofnted out derisively. “What do we care what it means? How many men have they got. at the club?” “Ten,” sald Bouchard laconically. “Ho!” ejaculated Larocque face tiously. “Then we are too many! We ought to have refused half of those brave boys at St. Pierre and Mique lon who wanted to line their pock- ets. Think of it, Bolduc, when we come to divide! We could swallow the chab-alive.” | But .again Bouchard shook his head. (Copyright, 13933. Frank L.

The Sluggers are} all primed for the tussle and are in the pink of condition. The Pi- yates’ propensity for keeping up well with any argument is well known. We don’t know if the fight has been definitely settled as winner take all, but it looks as} tif it will turn out that way in the| his hits was a homerun ai end, anyway. Both are eagerly} awaitin’ the gong and President Dion will referee. Maybe you don’t know what all this is about, dear fan. In that case it ought to be doubly inter- esting when you are informed. You see, it is this way: The Pirates have annexed both Quintan Lopez} and Armando Acevedo for their; team. At the last meetin’ of the! league, it was decided to give they Buccaneer clan the mighty Quin-} tan, as he was formerly theirs. But the big scrap starts over Armando! Acevedo. { The Pirates have Armando’s signature, but the Sluggers and Trojans must consent first for it to become effective this season. The Sluggers come right out and say that they won’t allow Arman- do to go with their deadly rivals, but the way in which the Pirates say the same thing with Spanish \ociferousness and wavin’ of hands gives you the impression that they mean it a deal more than the Slug- ger aggregation. * Both teams are willing to settle the dispute by giving the shortstop in question to the Trojans, third .{team in the league and the weak- est. But right there little Arman- do steps up and announces that he! refuses to play with a losing team! as just) How in the world the dispute! will be settled. only the. gods of baseball know, but you can bet your life that we'll be up there Wednesday night to see both the preliminaries and the main attrac- tion*in the grudge fight between the two leading baseball squads and we hope the best team wins.

They saw some mighty clouting and at times beautiful pitching, but the game wasn’t anywhere near close. As it was, the Slug- gers took the National Guard, Bat- tery A, squad into camp 17-5 . Dixon, third baseman and pitch- er of the doughboy outfit, contri- | buted some interesting features to the game. Besides pitching well for three innings before retiring [with a sore arm, he clouted a home- jrun over the black house beyond the left field wall with two on base in the fifth and another four-baser in the seventh with one on the sacks over the center fielder’s head. His first ¢lout was the longest seen at the Navy Field The first time at bat he was hit by Bethel. He knocked in all the Guard runs. Ear! Ingraham was the outstand- ing hitter of the two clubs. In four trips to the plate, he contri- buted four safe cleuts. One of nd the other three were sinzles. He also pilfered a sack. Rodriguez, catch- er for the Key Westers, also had a perfect day with two out of two. There was a large crowd out, which gradually dwindled as the scoring by the Sluggers increased. 1 in- nings.
