PACKARD Colvin leveled his snub-nosed au- THE MASK ‘jo ‘was no misinterpreting the significance of the substitu- tion of that wig of white hair that the man he had known as Buck O'Mara was pulling on now to re- |place the one just taken off. Colonel \Hargreaves, Helmie Schwarm, Buck \O"Mara, the character that was now {being asstmed, all of those other jcharacters represented by that ar- ‘ray of clothing, were one and the g@ame—the Mask. Colin gripped Sergeant Mulvey's arm fiereely and breathed into the other’s ear: “That fawn, checked suit—Heimie Schwarm. That Inverness cloak— the night he killed Reddy. Get it?” “Sure, 1 get it!” Sergeant Mulvey breathed back, “And I'll get him! Bat you stay out of this now, or his mob'll get Clarkie Lunn! Let’s see who he fs this time.” The erstwhile Buck O'Mara was working with incredible speed, lean- ing toward the mirror, dabbing swiftly at his face as his fingers dipped into this jar and that. It could have been séarcely more than @ minute since he had begun his transformation. And now he was donning a black coat, buttoning it to the throat. The next instant he bad adjusted a steel- rimmed pair of spectacles upon his nose and @ cane was in his hand. He turned slightly. It was old Keppel- stein, Sergeant Mulvey’s revolver was in his hand as he stepped suddenly out on the floor and toward the other. “Don’t move, O’Mara, or Keppel- stein, or whatever you want to call said coldly. “The there as though frozen to the spot. there was a sudden whiteness no pigment could is lips twisted jerkily for i In here?” he “Who are you?” 1 got fm” lulvey. “And you who I am, Ac- to your own story you kept on me after you Turner.

Before the Mask, who had stooped for the revolver, could quite regain his poise, Sergeant Mulvey, hurling himself forward, had borne the other to the floor. And then, like madmen struggling, they rolled over and over as they fought. And in that moment Colin forgot Clarkie Lunn. It was the Mask who had the gun—not Sergeant Mulvey. And it was Sergeant Mulvey who counted now. He flung the packing MAKES CIRCUS FROM OLD FAMILY CLOCK (My Associated Press) LEWISTON, Minn., Sept. 16.—- Forced to quit active farming, 82- year-old George Rice has kept gusy tinkering with an old family elock—and what he’s done to it is plenty. monkey is projected out of a lit- Every half hour a wate ie| tomatic and lowered it again.

What was keeping Sergeant Mulvey? Back there in the Wine Press, as they stood looking down on that life. {| less form on the floor, he had briefly explained his connection with Joe Lazarre, and had told Sergeant Mul- vey what little he knew of the man. Then, on Sergeant Mulvey’s ad- vice, Clarkie Lunn had unobtru- j sively left the place. From the Wine | Press he had gone to the rooming | house that for the last month had harbored him as one outside the law, Packed his belongings, and with the simple but eloquent explanation that be had to scram, had paid his bil! and departed. A taxi had taken him to the Grand Central Station, and a redcap had taken his bags—to the parcel room. Ten minutes later another redcap had collected his bags, and another taxi had brought him here to the Kranway-Stratton—where he was not registered. By the time any of the Mask’s mobsmen picked up the trail, if they ever did, Clarkie Lunn yould have ceased to exist. But all this had been hours ago! Sergeant Mulvey had said he would be here by midnight—and he had not yet come. Colin turned uneasily away from the window, and his eyes, roaming around the room, fixed and held on writing desk, Furrows gathered be. tween his eyes. It was the letter that, under a pledge of secrecy, had taken him to Cap & l'Orage. But and his promise to Reddy was no longer binding.. For that reason he had told Ser geant Mulvey at the Wine Press what he then knew about Lazarre; and for that reason here, on his re- turn to this room extracting it from inside the lining of one of his bags where he had hidden it, he had opened and read the letter Reddy had entrusted to him. Tt was a long letter—many pages of it, closely written on both sides of the sheets. He had spent an hour over it. And now he laughed out saddenly—mirthlessly. The memo ry of that night at the Cascade River and the burning clubhouse came vividly back to him. A human life was a human life, and even had he then known that Lazarre was the Mask he still might not have acted very differently; but had he known what was In that let- ter, had he known what he knew now, he would have hesitated long Ho raised his hand and brushed ms bis’ eyes: Lazarre—the eer that he had saved "8 life at all!
