PACKARD BYXOP8I8: Caught in one of the heavy loge that InMt the Gull at fit. Lawrence, Oertnaine Trem blay and Colin Hewitt, writer of detective llrtlon. have pone ashore while an their way from Cap A . I'Oroge to a eportemen'e club a lew milee down the ehore. Colin hoped to find Joe Laearre there, and de liver a tnyelerioue letter to htm. Colin realleee euddenly he lovee nermnine, but etiye nothing, tor hte We ie in peril Irom the Uaek, Sew York underworld ruler. Bud denly a heavy body lalle nearby, and a etrtng o oathe ie heard. .Chapter II THE VOICES " fcRM AI.N'E sat bolt upright. Colin felt her hand cloaa tightly orer his then draw quickly away again as she touched the revolver he was holding. "Obviously no acquisition to our party!" he whispered grimly. "Don't make a sound! When I first heard a noise back there in the wood, I thought It was only some animal on the prowl." "What's the matter?" demanded a rolce. "I tell over this bloody rock and bashed my leg." "Well, never mind come on!" "Come on nothing!" retorted the Injured one furiously. "At least not "Don't make sound," till I can stand up! Didn't I tell you I'd hurt my leg? It's sore as hell, and I can feel It bleeding." "Let's take a look at It, Here I'll strike a match." ... Colin strained his eyes In the di rection of -the voices. He heard the match being struck, but Its flame was almost Indiscernible no more than a mere pinpoint ot light. "We were damn saps not to beat It back for the club at once!" Colin recognised the querulous voice aa that ot the Injured man. "It was a fool stunt to keep on looking for the swine, or any trace of him, .'n a tog, even It Lazarre has got the wind up. And now we're lost ourselves, and have been for 0d knows how many hours!" Colin, with a quick, low Intake ot his breath, leaned sharply forward; he sensed, rather than saw, Oer nalne stir suddenly at his side. "Maybe we should have headed straight back when the tog first Slo gan to settle," the other admitted; "but Lasarre's dead right and you know It. The man, whoever he Is, knows too much. He got one look too many before Lazarre fired at him." TDO bad Laiarre missed," growled the Injured one, "or we wouldn't all ot us have been hunting our heads off over since daybreak. And a hot chsiice we ever had of finding him In this God-torsaken wilder ness, anyway!" "Quit your grouching!" snapped the second man. "Hot chance or not, you know only too damned well we couldn't afford to pass It up. I'll admit the chances of getting him are small, hut that's so much the worse for us. There's nothing to do now, of course, except to keep on trying to find our way back to the club as soon as you feel like walking again; but there's no use talking about It being Lazarre that's got the wind up any more than the rest ot ua. "There's something that seems to be breaking around hers lately that you don't like any more than any ot ua, and It looks as though this bird was In It. You haven't got to TWO TRANSIENTS DIE IN U. P.

II - 11 v ' ' ,!' " fn be told where we'll get off with W P. It we don't play our hand right have you?" "No more than you, blast you!' rasped the man with the injured leg. "Strike another match. All I'm say' ing la that you and I made a sweet pair ot fools of ourselves In not mak ing back for the club right from tht start. I guess 1 can walk aa fast as It will do us any good to gol What do you say, keep along the shore, now that we've found It, until we get to the river? Maybe by that time the fog will have lifted.". "All right," agreed the other short ly. "Come on!" Colln's Hps were a straight line. Again that night In Butch Connal's room! "W. P." That card he had found In the pocket ot the Mask's tool! The Mask's "interests" on the north shore here, to which Reddy had referred, seemed to be rather definitely linked up now with Mr. Millionaire Waldrow Kenniston's club! Footsteps crunched upon the aand and died away. Out of the tog, growing fainter In the distance, came an occasional curse the man with the Injured leg was evidently making heavy weather ot It! And then Germnlne spoke. "It would appear that you hav Colin whispered grimly. located that friend ot a friend ol yours," she observed dryly. 10LIN did not answer at once. Hli brain was racing. Suppose on their return to Cap a l'Orage Oor nialno reported what she had beard I It would be the obvious and natural thing for her to do. She had heard enough to know that the club was nothing but a nest of crooks, and that It existed only for some crim inal purpose. 1 A millionaire, and a salmon river oa the Isolated north -ehorol He paid a mental tribute to the Mask. The camuoflnge wna magnificent Yes but Germalne. If she told? Gvontually, of course, '.he police. But the police wore far away. Would the villagers themselves take action under the leadership ot what ever local authority existed, or would someone, counting on being well paid for It, take a warning to the club? He did not care what hap pened finally to the club or what specifically was going on thero but there was Lazarre. He did not want to sco Lazarre in the toils, or In flight. His own one chance was an alliance with Lazarre. As It was, the "members" wore al ready alarmed at the presence ot the man who had- "got one look too many," and that was bad enough from his, Colln's, standpoint with out adding anything more to it. And then there was Germalne her self. From .h. moment It became known that she was the Informant she would be In danger. And then, too, there was himself. Ho would Inevitably bo brought Into It In courl evidence, testimony In due course He could not testify under a false name. But hatould not ask her to remain silent without giving hor a reason There seemed to be only one way out; to tell her as much of the truth as his promise to Reddy would per mlt. This sailing under false col ors with Germalne was becoming unendurable. . - Look here!" he said abruptly j "My name's not Howard." (Copyright, 193S, Frank L.
