New York under world killer, packs his effects In his CaDlU on vne iJonavemure, preprints to land at Cop a l'Oragc, remote settlement on the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence The Mask killed Oolln's friend Rcddy Turner, hut not before Reddy had pledged Colin to deliver a letter to Joe Lazarre, who lives near Cap a' l'Orage and presum ably is employed by the Mask him splf. The Mask Is snld to have "Inter ests" nearby. But as he packs, Colin (who is a writer 01 aetecuve ncuon; thinks of Oermalne Tremblay. Chapter 12 GERMAIN E TREMBLAY The captain, Captain Rainville, had introduced her to him the sec ond day out. "Mademoisell Gcrmaine Tremblay" the captain had linger ed over the name affectionately. "You have only to be down here but a very little while, Mr. Howard, to know what the name of Tremblay means on the coast." She had flushed prettily. "Captain Rainville is always like that!" she had protested. "Don't you believe a word he says. He Is a great tease." But Catain Rainville, who had him self been born on the coast and knew everybody had been even con servative in what he had said. Those of the coast who were aboard had treated her with the utmost defer ence; and Colin heard much about the fame of the Trcmblays and their connection with the north shore. They had been amongst the earlt- RIP'S LONG WALK By Mary Graham Bonner "Bow-wow, bark, bark," said Rip, the Dog. "I haven't had a good, long romp in ever so long." "Why don't you take one now?" asked Willy Nilly, the little man who lived with his anlnmal friends in Puddle Muddle. "I think I'll do that very thing," mid Rip, wagging his tall at the thought of the pleasure aliend of him. "But won't you Join me?" "I'd like to," sighed Willy Nllly, as he stroked one of his side whiskers thoughtfully, "but I really should fix the horn on my automobile Two. Ways and do so many chores. There have been a lot of interruptions late ly, and I've no more backbone than a kite if I don't do some work." "Too bad you fell you can't come long," said Rip, shaking his head regretfully, "but you dont mind If I go?" "Not In the least, not In the least," said Willy Nllly. So Rip started off on his walk. He hadn't had a walk in so long a time that he went on and on and on and on. Everything seemed so interesting to him and he sniffed the good air and stopped now and then for a de- llclous cooling drink of brook water. But after awhile he became very hungry. "I should have brought something to eat along with me," he said. "I wonder what I can find in this neighborhood." All of a sudden there appeared a man driving a little car. The man stopped and said: "How would you Jike a nice bone?" Rip got a smell of food, but there was something about the man's face he didn't like. Tomorrow: Rip's Decision.

Several aenerations. Prospering; open-hand ed, respected. In short, the story of the Tremblays was the story of the north shore and vice versa. Colin frowned over his packing. Her father was Dr. Louis Tremblay of Cap a' l'Orage, the present head of the family. He had married an English girl. A romance begun in his college days in Montreal. But his wife was now dead. There was only a daughter and a son left. The son, following in his father's footsteps, had graduated in medicine in Mont real, and was now taking a special course in New York. Germaine Mademoiselle Tremblay was re turning from a visit to some friends in Quebec. Marvelous hair like burnished gold where the sun glinted it. She inherited that from her mother, too, probably. Someone had said she could drive a dog team with the best of them and yet she was scarcely up to his shoulder. Colin went up on deck. Her chair was still unoccupied. He flung him self into his own chair and tugged a book out of his pocket. For some unaccountable reason he did not feel like talking to anybody not even to Francois Joliecoeur, the old timber cruiser over there, who told entranc ing talcs of the coast and his own adventures alas, not always true! A priceless old liar! A great character for a book written around these parts! A book? What book? Would he, Colin, ever write another? He had his own skin now, to put it bluntly, to think of first. Somewhere a winch suddenly sputtered and clanked noisily dis cordantly. They were getting cargo up on deck. A sure sign that ano ther port was near at hand. Cap a lOrage. He looked up. She had just emerged from the captain's room up there off the low cr bridgc.the captain following her through the doorway. Colin heard her laugh ring out as she gayly spurned the captain's offer of as sistance, and came llthely down the ladder. How would he describe her if he were Introducing her as a heroine to his readers? He wasn'f much good when it came to his "girl" stuff never had been. Always afraid of it. But he wasn't describing her now in a lame and groping paragraph as he rose from his chair to meet her and they automatically drifted over to the rail together he was just looking at her. I thought you'd gone down to pack," he said. "Oh, no," she laughted. "I did that before lunch except, of course, Just the few finishing touches. And you?" "All set, he answered. "Captain Rainville chased me away." She waved her hand shore ward. "We'll be in shortly. That's Cap a' l'Orage over there. See that bald old mountain sticking out into the water with a lighthouse on top of It? The town is Just tills side of it in that little bay. You can begin to sec the houses now." "I see," he nodded. "Storm Cape. I've always meant to ask how It came by Its name." Studying her, he saw the smllle fade from her eyes as she shook her head gravely. "I am afraid it has earned it," she said seriously. "I can't explain It. Of course, the gulf Is very wide here, like the open sea, and you can't see the other shore; but then that's true in lots of other places. But the storms do seem to center here and at times are very violent. 'Besides, though the gulf Ls fam ous for Its fogs, wc seem to get more than our share of those too and so often they come upon us almost without warning at aoll The storms are really very treacherous and there is scarcely a year goes by that one of our men is never heard of again.

She nodded her head In turn; and then her mood, changed swiftly and she was smiling at him again half teasingly, and yet half In earnest, too, it seemed. "Do you know," she said, "that I've really been worrying a lot about you ever since I knew you were getting oir at Cap a l'Orage?" He fell in with her mood. "How awful!" he said tragically. "No really!" she returned quickly. "Madame Prenier does the best she can with her so-called 'hotel ,' but it is far from being a modern hostelry and far, I am afraid, from what you will expect. It's mostly post office and general store. You know, we are supposed to be hospitable here on the coast, and I am sure father would take you completely under his wing, only" her face clouded sud denly "I don't think he's very well. "That's what has brought me back a little sooner than I had expected. But, In any case, I promise you that you won't be utterly deserted . . If you like an occasional tramp through the woods . . . and I've got a rather Jolly little motor boat, not terribly swanky, but a brave little craft just the same." "Glorious!" he exclaimed enthus iastically. "As for the rest, I am sure that Madame Prenier and I will get along famously. And besides" He studied her for a moment. His thoughts raced suddenly. Why not? He couldn't go around everywhere asking for Joe Lazarre! This was the obvious, the natural, the least suspicious move to make. He didn't like that with her! But what could he do? "And besides," he went on, "I'm not sure that I am going to be whol ly a stranger in a strrtnge land. A friend of a friend of mine!" He laughed a little. "You know! I be lieve he's down here at Cap a l'Or age. His name is Lazarre. Joe short for Joseph, of course." Lazarre?" she repeated, and shook her head. "It's not an uncom mon name by any means, but I am sure I know everyone in Cap a l'Or-, age, and there is no one by that ' name in the village." i Colin dug for a cigarette and lighted it. Lazarre wasn't the man's real name of course. Everybody in the whole business seemed to in dulge In fictitious names himself Included! But Reddy had said that it was as Lazarre the man was known here. Not so easy, apparently from what she had Just said, to pick up the trail! And yet he had scarce ly expected to find the man a resi dent of Cap a l'Orage. Reddy's un certainly as to Lazarra's exact whereabouts had suggested a decided question mark In that regard. But someone in Cap a l'Orage must have seen or heard of Joe Lazarre. j "Oh, well," he said lightly, "It i really doesn't matter." "Wait!" she cried out impulsively. I He waited. He liked the dainty I way in which her brow was sudden ly profoundly puckered. "Of course!" she said. "I hadn t thought of that! If he's a friend of a friend of yours and moving in ex alted social circles she was a little witch she made him a staid bow "perhaps he's one of the men who come down every year to the club." The club?" he echoed. "Then there is a club at Cap a l'Orage?"
