PAGE FOUR Us 7he_ HIDDEN DOOR BY FRANK L. PACKARD Ococcccccccocncncesccccceccacceccooeces | Chapter 46 FRIENDS MEET T’S up your sleeve?” de- manded Sergeant Mulvey. Yon’ve been thinking this over.” “Yes,” said Colin with a dry laugh, “I've been thinking it over. In fact I've mapped out a little plan. What I suggest is that you and I get into old Keppelstein’s house on the quiet tonight, say around ten o'clock.” “You can leave that end of it to me, (as far as that goes,” asserted Sergeant Mulvey complacently, “You think Keppelstein is—” “No; I don’t," Colin interrupted calmly. “I don’t think anything about him, except that he’s in on this up to his neck. He may even be the Mask himself for all { know. In- cidentally, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to find out what you can about him this. afternoon.” “EF wasn’t overlooking that bet,” stated Sergeant Mulvey with a hard smile. “I'll haye a line on him all right. But what are you and I doing in his house at ten o'clock tonight?” “To use the same tense,” ex- plained Colin composedly, “we are waiting for the raid on the tobacco- shop end of the Wine Press that you are staging at about the same hour. “What!” Sergeant Mulvey pulled days,” returned Sergeant Mulvey grimly. “Does that lane run all the ‘way between the cross streets?” “I don’t know,” Colin answered. “I suppose so. It would hardly be confined to the rear of the Wine Press.” Sergeant Mulvey got up. “I got a lot to do!” he said with a crooked grin. “You stay put here. Have your meals sent up. 1 may want to get in touch with you. Any- way, I'll meet you on the corner a block east of the Wine Press at nine-thirty tonight.” “It'll be a long time to wait!” said Colin. 'T proved to be. Colin’s philosopl:y Was not proof against the impa tience and anxiety induced by the one question that, with its ramifica tions, was never out of his mind as the hours, unrelieved even by any word from Sergeant Mulvey, went by. Would tonight see Clarkie Luns but a nightmare phantom of the past, and Colin Hewitt, with all that meant, but most of all Germaine again, or—? There was always that fateful “or.” But the hours passed eventually—and evening cama It was misty, raining a little, the street lamps throwing only a murk: “Stay put here,” Mulvey told Colin. himself-sharply forward by the arms of his chair. “Come again, please!” “Yes, that’s the idea,” said Colin patiently. “That’s it exactly. Have you forgotten that Buck O'Mara is handing out a little cut to those three skippers of Heimfe Schwarm in Barney’s parlor tonight?” » “No,” said Sergeant Mulvey gruf- fy, “T haven't forgottea it, and that’s why I’m wondering it you've gone crazy.” ,” he said, “any old reason for the raid will do—except the real one, You can figure that out to suit yourself. The main thing is that we know Buck will be there at ten o'clock. “So now get this, Tim—and get it righthi#e a certainty that Buck O'Mara and Heimie Schwarm, and God knows how many more of the big shots that the Mask keeps on his payroll, all communicate with the Mask on old Keppelstein’s @de of the wall by using that trick door. ,I¢ he is afraid the whole place is going: to be pinched he’s going to make a bolt: through that hidden door*and wise up the Mask—dnd iwe'lt ‘be waiting there to sea how ™ ite @oesn’t sound so bad,” Mut vey admitted.“But suppose nothing happens? Suppose Buck O'Mara just walks in and then walks out of old Keppelstein's front door? The game's up, ain’t it? With the scare thrown into them, there’s a ‘To Rent’ sign going up there on the Wine Press just the same, ain't there? And then what?” “Something will happen,” de- elared Colin confidently. “It it doesn’t it will be just too bad fer Clarkie Lunn, because then he'll have to sit In for another hand and trail along with Buck O'Mara again to pick up the broken pieces. And that brings to mind one sweetly sol- emn thought. Clarkie Lunn isn't looking for any publicity, or even an introduction te any of your myrmi- dons.

We worked the peddler dodge and one or two others. Keppelstein ain't home and nobody’s gone in or come out since we put the spot on the house around noontime. “One of the boys, who's pretty nifty at that sort of thing, got to work on the back-door lock after dark. Some lock, he says. But he got away with it so it'll look like it had never been touched if we want to lock it again, All we got to do is to walk in. As for the rest, I dunno!” Colin had shaken off the depres- sion of the afternoon. “It can’t go wrong,” he said deci- sively. “It’s the one sure play that Buck O'Mara will make.” “Well, I'm counting on it too, ain't 1?” returned Sergeant Mulvey grim- ly, “What do you think I’ve got half ithe.

COLLISION: public works prosperity hasn’t been faster in getting started is that many contractors are afraid to bid on construction jobs with the price of materials jumping under the urge of the NRA prosperity drive.

WASHINGTON, September 14. Newspapermen and political ob-} servers, assigned to “cover” the! capital during the fast- moving | months since congress set up the vast recovery machinery and then] adjourned, have sorely missed the i 1 \ | | | Borah at the other end of Penn- syivania avenue. Not that they have been forced to go along without congressional contacts this summer. Far from it. Both representatives and senators aiiound. As one wag expressed it: “There’s a quorum present at any time.” But Borah hasn’t been in Wash- ington, and that changes things. Illness forced the Idaho sena- tor, almost immediately after the He had to un- dergo a major operation and is just now recuperating. When Borah is in town he gives his press conferences just as the President or anyone else high in authority. He is the only senator| who does this so regularly, and they are attended and fully re- ported. As Borah Sees It There’s been a dearth of opin- jon or eriticism one way or thg other on the part of the republi- cans regarding the efforts of the administration to effect national breaks. But then Borah is Borah—even if he is an independent republi- can. He availed himself of the first opportunity to express himself on policies now being pursued by the Roosevelt administration. And it] came when he returned to Wash- ington for a brief stop before continuing en to Idaho for a month or so more of rest. He predieted that the govern- ment “will soon be facing the proposition of priee fixing.” He forecast the return of the question of controlled inflation. And he warned that the entire NRA drive depended upon the consumer and would fail unless he was protected. For Whe Sherman Act His flat statement that it was a mistake to repeal the Sherman esting.
