_. Chapter 43 COLIN’S FEINT T’S fine, Buck,” he said gratefully. “I'll be as good as "ever by daylight.” “Sure, you will,” agreed Buck O'Mara. “Do you want me to get and carry you down, or do you can make it your- on my feet,” said Colin with a forced grin. “Leave it to me—I can make it.” said Buck Colin moved forward unsteadily, Yeeling slightly at times, but, sup- ported by Buck O'Mara, traversed the hall and desconded the stairs. _ And here, as they crossed the lower “Shut up!” retorted Buck O’Mara curtly. “Strut your stuff, and let’s have a look at the arm.” The woman, evidently on the point of making a sharp rejoinder, but con- tenting herself with a scowl instead, produced a pair of scissors, cut away the old bandage, and washed the wound. Colin lay back with half- closed eyes. “No; it ain’t so bad,” pronounced Buck O'Mara judicially. “It’s the blood you've lost, Clarkie. You'll be okay after a few hours’ quist and a bit of sleep. He’s going to park here for the rest of the night, Mrs. Barney.” “If you say so!” grunted Mrs. Barney as she began to put on a fresh bandage. “That's your busi- ness!” Colin heard a door close at the rear. That was Barney, of course, leaving on his errand to Spinelli. Buck O'Mara swung on his heel. “I'll get that telephone call through,” be said, and left the room Colin heard him go into the to bacco sliop—obviously to the tele phone booth there, “Some day, sonny,” prophesied Mrs. Barney acidly, “a bandage ain't going to do you any good!” “You said it, mother!” Colin re- turned with a thin smile. Mrs. Barney gathered up thy basin Colin fumbled with the bandage. the parlor, Buck turned on the light, r old woman to bring ‘and some cloths.” ik O'Mara's help Colin and discarded bandage, and went out—but came back in a moment or two with a quilt. “Here!” she said ungraciously— and departed again.

Clarkie.” “Good-night, Buck—and thanks again,” Colin responded fervently. Buck O'Mara switched off the light and went out, leaving the door Good-night, open. Colin listened. He could hear the other going up the stairs, and then the closing of Buck O'Mara’s door in the hall above. O'Mara would not leave there until Barney came back and reported; nor would it be safe for him, Colin, to make a move until then, And then what? When that time came? He did not know. But he was satisfied In his own mind that Buck O'Mara would in some way or other communicate with the Mask to night; indeed, so much that was vital had happened, that such a move on O'Mara’s part was all but a practical certainty. Would it be here? Buck O'Mara had intimated that he expected Heimie Schwarm. Was the Mask coming too? Was there to be a con- ference of the three of them? If so, it was nut scheduled until later, else Buck O'Mara would never have told Barney to com to his room and report. Or would Buck O'Mara go out again to keep a rendezvous or communicate from elsewhere, O'Mara might never have come here at all tonight except on Spinel W's account. But ff that were so, why {| should he have expected Heimie Schwarm? Questions hammering at his brain. Contradictions. (Copyright, 2933. Frenk L.
