And then, as he watched the two, a fine point of ethics arose in Colin's mind to trouble him. Believing that Dollaire was in immediate danger, had he any right to sit here and not warn the man? Mentally he began to debate the pros and cons. What could he say to Dollaire? Nothing definite—but enough, say, to cause Dollaire to take alarm and the-room, ‘and began to make his Way downstairs.

That, in if 's words, hell would bust ‘te here before the night was over, was exactly what he, Colin, was expecting—and he was quite re in his own mind that he could ‘ave told MacBride why! ~ His own plans?

Spinelli would be to declare a dividend tonight! He ordered a bottle of wine, and sipped it leisurely. Applause greeted poveral suggestive numbers on Spi- nelil’s programme, Colin saw little of:them. The minutes and the quar- terliours slipped by. Heimie Schwarm and Doillaire had become @ Uttle uproarious, though not offen- sively so. Had the deal been perfected? Had Heimie Schwarm become the owner ot a choice cargo from St. Pierre ‘gud Miquelon? It mattered little. _(They were attacking another bottle yotchampagne.

Dollaire had gratuitously thrown his hat into the ring. He had. de stroyed one of the Mask’s pet schemes, and had murdered at least two—for Lazarre might still be alive—of the Mask’s men. If Colin knew the Mask at all,’ Dollaire, whether he were put on the spot here or elsewhere, was a doomed man from the night-he had raided the club on the Cascade Rive Dollaire. . was callous, .. cold- blooded murderer — boasting «his prowess. One's finer instincta fe yolted even at the thought of his ex- istence. Warn Dollaire? If the Mask or any of his men were here to s@e, then Clarkie Lunn might as well never Rave been created. He. not epme here to warn Dollatre; had come,here to watch the Mi play his hand. There were Germaine, himself, thelr future, his own life at stake. Ethics! His lips tightened. Was it ethics, to fling all that aside on the chance of being able to accomplish what, at the utmost, could be 10 more than a postponement of the in- evitable showdown between the Mask and Dollaire? Suppose he were writing it? An grily he sought to fling the sudden intrusion aside—but !t persisted. One always had to justify the hero's actions, Would the hero be jastified in the readers’ eyes if he stood pat under these circumstances? “By God,” Colin stated Mercely to himself, “I'd write it that way, any- how!” A waiter stood at his elbow. “Pardon me, sir. There's a couple of gentlemen over there that would like you to join them.” {Conuright, 1933, Prank L, Packard) Tomorrow, Colin meets an ex- | ceedingly dangerous former ac- 1 quaintance.
