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

"No more than you, blast you!'
rasped the man with the injured leg.

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!

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

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.
