BYNOPSIS: After weeks of indering about New York's tn- Hisguist Mask, his quarry. The Mash haa threatened Colin’s life: now Colin auddeniy finds himself a member of one of the Mask’s gangs. Benny Malone, in a room behind a little East Side tobacco shop, is instruct- ing him in the layout. He will work @ man known as Buck, one of the Mask’'s lieutenants. Benny describes the “Wine Press.” for-., merly @ come-on joint for slum-** ming parties, now being used as i rters by the Mask, and~ tells of the owner of the Wine Pri ‘eppelatein, Chapter 36 PLEASANT PROSPECT ue id you saw anybody on the porch,” said Benny Maloue with a mali- ious grin, “it was old Keppelstein and nobody else, because he lives there all by his lonesome, and he’s too much of a miser to let anyone else sit in one of his chairs without paying for it!” Colin looked puzzled. “You don’t mean that he’s in on—" “Him!” ejaculated Benny Malone. ‘Nix! He’s as dirty a crook as there 4g in New York—but he ain't our kind of crook. He'd slap a court order on your false teeth if you owed him money, “The only thing he's in on here 1s his rent—and he comes around: to get it from Barney before breakfast othe first of every month. He owns a Jot of property and is worth a lot of money, but nobody ever knew him to blow any of it—even on himself! ~-“Bome day, it he lives long enough, somebody'll bump him off. I'd take the. job on myself and enjoy it. He put a widow and three kids that lived in a tenement he owns in the next block out on the street in a hell of a storm @ couple of days ago. ‘What do you know about that? But,” Benny Malone admitted grudgingly “he makes a hot blind for us here just the same.” “I get you,” laughed Colin. “Say, I feel like a kid at school putting his _ hand_up. What else have I got to Jearn?” “How to get in and how to get “outand that you're never to come ‘here. unless you're sent for,” re- turned Benny Malone. “And get that last good and hard, Clarkie! This ain't any clubhouse, and there ain't “any loafing done around here. “Mr. and Mrs, Barney are sup- posed to be respectable. See? Only the big shots like Buck O'Mara and Heimie Schwarm come here when they like, and sometimes when there's a big job on one or two of them sleep here—being the roomers 1 was telling you about that the Bar- neys sometimes take in. “The rest of us aren't here more'n once a week, and sometimes not for two or three weeks—only when ‘we're wanted. And when you're ‘wanted you'll get a card with W. P. ‘on ft and the hour, or else the same over the ona Bavvy?” ; 1” sald Benny Malone, “Msten to the last shout. If you ‘have to show up juse the store, or else go down and (see If Solly’s got your shoes mended Switch about, shuffle your cards ieee? | “It it’s dark there's another way ind into the alleyway al ide and then around into the lane. ‘There's a door there that opens off jthis lower hall. It's got a latch. Litt ithe latch and you'll find the head of \®nail—only it’s a push button. Push ‘jt once, wait a second, then push it ' ttwiee—two quick ones—and one of ‘the Barneys will let you in. _ “There's another door there, a Ut- ‘Me farther away from the alleyway, ‘but don’t monkey with that, It leads ‘to the back stairs, and the big shots are the only ones that have got keys to it. There ain't anything else i" A form bulked suddenly In the doorway and a man came into the oom. Benny Malone, as master of ceremonies, performed the introduc- tion. The man’s name was Klengell. At Intervals of some few minu 2s two more men appeared—stocky chaps lke the first, with weather. beaten faces. Again Benny Malone ‘went through the rites. The latest comers answered respectively to the names of Smudge Kilrea and Geor- @ie Napp. “Heimie Schwarm’s right-hand- ers,” Benny Malone announced for Colin’s benefit. “Clarkie here is a Rew one, Any more to come?” « No one in particular being a@ dressed, the man who had been in- troduced ag Smudge Kilrea ‘an- swered, “Nope!” he said. “Three of the fleet’ll. be all that’s needed. But where's Buck?” “Here!” said & voice curtly from the doorway. 3 Colin looked up. A sandy-haired man, with thick, bushy, sandy eye brows, and a tight, determined mouth, met his gaze—and the mouth suddenly relaxed into a not unpleas- ant smile. “Hello, Clarkie,” Buck O'Mara flung out. “I hear you've joined ap. We'll get to. know each other bet ter.” He looked around the room. “All set, eh?—except. that I haven't heard from Heimie. Do any of you know whether he’s been in?” Benny Malone dragged from his Pocket the envelope that Heimie Schwarm had given him. “Heimie was here a little while ago,” he said. “He told me he couldn’t wait, but that this was the dope you wanted and I was to give it to you.” Buck O’Mara tore the envelope open, extracted @ sheet of paper, and studied the latter attentively:for’a full minute—then he broke. into.a grim laugh... spote igen Be +, “Some. boy, Heimie!”.: shez >ex- claimed. “It looks like the gopds:to me——but you three «birds ought:te know. What do. you say?” . He handed the sheet of-paper to Smudge'-Kilrea, who studied it in turn, while Klengell and Geordie Napp peered over Kilrea’s shoulder. “Okay by me,” stated Smudge Kilrea tersely. “A blind man could find it.” “Same here,” said Klengell. . - “Me too,” said Geordie Napp. “All right, then,” said. Buck O'Mara briskly. “Scatter! The rest is all fixed. We'll be right on your tails, And tomorrow night show up here around ten, you Tl be here and there'll be » cut for you to take to the boys no matter what happens tonight.” The three left the room. UCK O'MARA turned to Colin. “Ever read the papers, Clarkie?” he inquired abruptly. “Parts of ’em,” Colin. admitted with a grin; “but I pass up the eye- wash and the noise the menagerie that’s in politics*makes.” “Ever read about a mob a few weeks ago that wes doing « nice quiet little business down on the St. Lawrence turning out the Buck O'Mara barked out a laugh. “And then some!” he gaid thinly. “The papers don't know ‘it all. Be- sides the two, there was another one that got s hide-full of lead and had a tough break between trying to wet well aiid keeping under cover ' ‘at the same time. And also there ain't any nice little business down any more.” There was oily one man that —Lazarre. Lazerre had pulled through and was alive, thén! Colin rummaged for a match as he hung & fresh cigarette on his lip. He stared inquiringly, a little be wilderedly, at Buck O'Mara. “I'm not sure-I get you,” he said. “What are you asking me if I'd read about sthat for?” Pa iy) on without answering.” works happens. to be @ good -friené of somebody important around-here, See? He knew all about that St. Lawrence country, and a let more as well. And that little business. up there—that was important to this same somebody.” Buck borrowed a light. Colin was fascinated by Buck's cold, precise movements, and with his own know!- edge of what actually happened on the St. Lawrence, had pieced to- gether a far more completé version of the story than Buck was likely to tell him. “So, these guys being friends, we took pains to find out who did it. I thought you'd like to know that any- ‘one you your rod on tonight, and you'll have plenty of use for it. is only getting what he asked for. Come on, let's go.” (Copyright, 1933. Frank L.
