PACKARD SYNOPSIS: After weeks of tralllns through the New York underworld d (uUed u Clarkla Lunn, t crook, Colin Hewitt finds hlmseu, by luckr chance, member of one of the tansa whose mas ter la the Mask. And It was the Mask Colin was searching for, because It was the Mack who had threatened the author's life. With Buck O'Mara, head of the tans, and Benny Malone, Colin Just has boarded the schooner of one Dollalre, rum runner, who Is to be put on the soot. Not a nice situation for a respectable writer, Colin muses aa Buck beilna to ipeak. CHAPTER 39 DOLLAIRES TRICK Buck O'Mara was shaking hands with someone and then Colin heard him speak: "I'm Buck O'Mara. Heimfe sent me. You're Dollalre, of course. Glad to know you." "Me? Sure, I'm Dollalre!" There was a tinge of boast fulness In the other's voice. "So Helmie, he's not here, eh? He said maybe he'd come out." "Heimle out here!' Buck OMara laughed derisively. "He must have been corned to the toes If he said that. He doesn't take any chances of giving his feet wet, or getting pep pered by the revenue men any more. He don't have to. Hcimle's big busi ness now and nothing else." "Well, me," said Dollalre. "I don't give a damn about that. But maybe he sent something else besides you, eh? That was the bargain. What you call It? spot cash before a case sbi's go over the side. Yes?" "I've got It here." Buck O'Mara patted his pocket. "I suppose you'll want to count It. If you do, wed better go down to your cabin, hadn't DRIFTING By Mary Graham Bonner "Wo can't let the house go to pieces or float away Into some watery field," said Willy Nilly. "We must all put or our rain coats and get a lot of rope and fasten iu foundations to th the trunxs of the big pine tree; around. They wll keep It safe until) the flood stops." Jelly Bear, Hon ey Bear, Top Notch the Roost er, Rip, the Dog and Chrlstophei Columbus Cron put on the rnli coats Willv N1IH had made for them some time be fore as protection against very bad weather. They had never worn the coats, as they were all used to the ut-of-doors, but he had thought Xicy might be useful Borne time. The Ducks had scorned the idea rain coats. Now they all helped to tie ropes ejround the foundations of the house a the big pino trees. Then they dashed through the storm to Top Notch's shed. It was standing in a newly made pond of water some little distance from Hs usual spot, having drifted through the flood. "There won't be room for us In the shed." said Jelly Bear. "We'd better divide up," agreed Willy Nllly, "and you two go to your cave So the Bears went through the ctorm to their cave and the others went into the shed all except Willy Nllly, who stood up to his knees In water and pushed the shed down to the Duck's pond, men ne, too, went Inside. Then they began to drift and rock as the wind blew them along. "1 hope this shed doesn't collapse," Winy Nllly said. Tomorrow "No Food" ACROSS 1 Slllcl. 4 Amerlcun musical ciniii)Fcr t. Ocean 12.

"You bet you I want to count it," Dollalre asserted bluntly. "Do you think, me, I am foolish? Helmie, maybe he Is all right, but the money, she is talk." "Got your fingers crossed, eh?' Buck O'Mara Inquired jestingly. "Well, lead on. We're wasting time. The boys probably have to make more man one trip tonight to land everything that Helmie said you told him was aboard. And say, Dollalre, that goes the other way too we're counting the cases as we get them. Pair enough, eh?" "That part, she's all right," grunted Dollalre. "Come on!" Dollalre, followed by Buck O'Mara with Benny Malone and Colin trail ing behind led the way aft. "Keep your rod handy," whispered Benny Malone. "You're going to see something, Clarkle, take it from me you're going to see that big stiff down on his knees and the sweat pouring out of him like he was a hydrant. And when they hear a shot from the cabin the boys'U pile aboard and mop up the rest." But the sweat at the moment was on Colin's brow not on Dollalre 'b. In the darkness he wiped it away with a sweep of his sleeve. His feet seemed unsteady perhaps it was the rise and fall of the deck aft the vessel rode the swells. The chattering voices around him became the screams and yells and shrieks of doomed men the forms he saw lining the rail and the fig ures that flitted here and there about the deck were but wraiths re turned to gibber and haunt the schooner, which once, in' their earthly existence, had been their habitat. And ther was no single thins that he could do, no warning he could give that would have any ef- icct other than to precipitate the about his own destruction as well. "That goes by me I" Unbelievably it was his own voice speaking cal louslywith even a Jeer in it. "It's coming to him, Isn't It?" Clarkle," said Benny Malone op- en-heartedly, "you're the real goods. I wish you and me had met up be fore. Now watch your step, or you 11 bust your neck." The advice was not ill-timed. The descent to the cabin was by way of a short, steep, ladded-like compan- longway. Colin, bringing up the rear negotiated itr and stood In the ca bin Itself. He swung a quick, comprehensive glance around him. The cabin was not elaborate, nor was It large. Running fore and aft, a bunk was on one side, a settee of sorts, with torn covering, on the other, A swinging oil lamp, lihgtcd, hung low over a table In the center. A small safe stood against the after bulkhead. There were two chairs, one on each side of the table and, flanking the companionway, a locker, whose top appeared to be a catch-all for everything from nautical instru ments and charts to bottles -and glasses. Dollalre waved his hand to ward trie locker. "Help yourselves ," he Invited with a grin; "and then you tell Helmie how many bottles he can make out of one, with the kick she's still there! By gar! Me, sometimes I think I will do that like you fellows before I leave St. Pierre." "Thanks!" said Buck O'Mara and, pouring out a stiff portion, downed It at a gulp. Benny Malone did likewise. The bottle was steady In Solin's hand as he poured for himself. Queer 1 They were going to kill Dol lalre in here. And his, Colin's hand was steady. The fiery three-fingers was like so much water. Dollalre took one of the chairs. Buck O'Mara took the other, facing Dollalre across the table. Colin, obe dient to a nudge slumped down be side Benny Malone on the settee be hind Buck O'Mara. -Benny Malonc's hand was thrust negligently Into the 11. Kind of wood 14. Linger on th way 19.

Buck O'Mara tossed a rubber banded pile of crisp new bills down on the table In front of Dollalre. "Here's the dough" he said. "Go ahead and count It." Dollalre reached for the money greedily, ripped off the rubber band, and began to count. He counted la boriously, steadily, wetting his fore finger on his tongue. At the end he snapped the rubber band back Into place around the bills. "She's rightl" he announced. "And Helmie, he's all right, too. I put this in the safe. Yes? Then we all have another little drink, eh?" "I'm glad you're satisfied" there was a purr in Buck O'Mara's voice. "We wouldn't like you to feel when you're sitting in wlthour outfit that we'd hold anything out on you, or that you're not getting all that's coming to you." "Sure. I'm satisfy," grinned Dol lalre as he stood up, moved over to the safe and suwng its door open. "Sure, I'm satisfy 1 I'm satisfy" he swung suddenly around, a revolver In his hand, his face working with fury, his voice a snarl "I'm satisfy, by God, it Is a trick. You move one of you three and I shoot. This mo neyI got lots like this. I know where she come from. She's coun terfeit." No one moved. The metamor phosis had been dynamic, almost instantaneous. In the fraction of a second, Dollalre, the condemned, had become Dollalre, the execution er. Dollalre, behind that ugly, un wavering muzzle, held the whip hand and Dollalre would not have the slightest qualm about using It. And then Buck O'Mara spoke. "Aw, snap out of it!" he retorted coolly, contemptuously, "You sound like you'd got a leak In your dome cover. If you think there's any thing phony about that dough, slip it back to me quick, boy, for, say, I can use it, believe me. Counter felt hell! - It's so good It's worth a rake-off where you come from any how. What's the matter with you? Have you gone crazy or what?" It was an about face and Colin, listening, as he stared at the re volver muzzle in Dollaire's hand, did not need to be told that Buck O'Mara had no other chance, no other play to make. Counterfeit money! So that was It. It seemed as though he could see again Dol lalre s attack upon the club. It seemed as though he could hear, from out of nowhere, the Mask's burst of laughter as he had con ceived this ironic bit of by-play. But now? Buck O'Mara perhaps had not expected that the spurious money would be recognized at once, and possibly not at all, in which lat ter case he had obviously Intended to taunt Dollalre with It in the end. On the other hand, should Dol lalre recognize It of his own ac cord, O'Mara had undoubtedly ex pected some sign of the fact, and had Intended to act accordingly the moment the sign came. Buck could not have guessed Dollaire's cunning, or have anticipated the lightning change that came as he turned back to the room from the safe. There was Dollaire's gun, and there sat his three visitors.
