PACKARD gyXOl-SlS: L'olm flcit.l. l.al 10 a tret, iratchtt tht flnmrt that twtltly adtanct toward Jot La tarrc, vha lit wounded on tht porch of a Bt. Louirtnce rlvtr "th ing club," which really t a bat for a gang of Ntw York erookt un Atr tht Notorious Uatk. Colin had Sopfd to ttourt Latarre't help aaaintt tht Uatk. Otrmalnt Trem- blay, supposedly left guarding Colln't launch, tttalt up to Colin, anrf rtltatft him. Tht gang of hi jocktrt which ttt tht Jlrt, under on Dollatrt, It looting tht pouter houtt nearby; Colin tteolt into tht club and dragt Latarrt to tacty. Chapter 27 COLIN ESCAPES FIGURES cam running round the aide of the clubhouse and, halt ing abruptly, gathered around Ls tarre. There came then a medley of roicei relied In execration and blasphemy. They all talked at once. The word! reached Colin In dli folnted match ei: "... Kennlaton'a croaked out there. . . . That makea two with Gregg. . . . The cover's blown off the work. . . . Ten apacei, maybe twenty. If we're caught. ... We got to beat It out of here before any one cornea noalng around. . Get Lazarre down to the boat . . . Bet- ter aare aoma of our clothes In there If we tan. . , . Wise up W.P, There'll be a glass wagon and no floweri coming to Dollalra for thla, , . . If we work tut enough we can get Lazarre acrosa the border be fore the copa get their ear mufflers off. . . . Maybe he won't lire. . . . Aw, he ain't ao bad. . . We got to give him a break anyhow. . . . Maybe Dol lalra and hla acbooner are atlll in the river. , . , He didn't come that way, he went off through the woods toward Cap k l'Orage. . . , That sneaking rat of a spy. .', ." Colin edged deeper in among the trees; then, moving cautiously, be gan to make hla way back around the clearing. A hundred yards away, satisfied that between the crackling of the flames and the conatant roar of the falls no sound he would then make could be heard, he quickened his pace, breaking Into a run wher ever It was possible to do so. Hla one object now was to reach Germalne and get away before the power boat started down the river for, dark as the shadows were, doss In there agatnat the bank, there was always the risk of the launch being sen. He did not want to be seen now; and above all he did not want Germalne to be aeen. It would take Bftoen minutes at the very least, ha was certain, for the "members" to salvage what they oould of their personal belongings, carry Lazarre down to tbe power boat, and get the power boat under way. Surely be could make the launch in much leas time than that. He made It in five. Germalne had evidently heard him coming. She was standing up In the launch, The engine was run ning. . "Let's go I " He spoke nonchalantly or thought he did as he jumped la beside her. She leaned forward and peered tor an lnat&nt Into his face, : ''"Sit down!" she commanded. "You look like a ghost. I'll handle the boat." He did not protest. He had for gotten about his head. Rather Queer that It should suddenly start throb bing again I He felt almost giddy. "All right!" he said. "But step on It. The power boat will be along shortly and lt'a moonlight." "We'll keep out ot the moon path," she answered. "It they haven't start ed yet. we'll be so far away they'll never see us." but just lazy, willing to let you da the work." "Did" she hesitated "Lazarre did you J" "Yes," he answered. "I got him out without much difficulty. But I'm afraid he'a in rather bad shape which Isn't so good." "Tell me sbout It," she said; "tell me everything when you feel like talking." "I'll tell you now," he said. He told her in detail except that he made no mention ot a gun butt that bad crashed, agalnat hla skull. It took a long time. They had rounded the point, and were heading for Cap a l'Orage when he had made an end of It. "We needn't worry about the pow er boat any more, no matter where it la," she said irrelevantly. "They'll head straight across for the Caspd shore." Then, pertinently: "But what was it that has been going on down there underneath the power house? What was In those little bundles you saw Dollalre's men carrying away?" He shook hla head. "I don't know," ha said. "I wlah I did; but, after all, no matter what It was. It doesn't alter things one lota so far as you and I are concerned." His lips drew into a straight line The Mask still forbids our banns." "What are you going to do now. Colin? What are we going to do?" He sat motionless tor a moment, then he struck a match and looked at his watch. You'll be back home and In be' by half-past three not later anywa? than four. No one will know, no om Is to know, that you've been noai the club. That's the first thing. II you get pulled Into this, so do 1 In which case If I know the Mask al all you'll mourn a husband-to-be." Colin!" she cried out poignantly. "Don't say that!" It's absolutely true," he said; "but it Isn't as cowardly as II sounds. If the Mask doesn't get a look at my cards, I think I've got more than a fair chance of winning the last hand and that means oui happiness, dear. "Ethically, perhaps, we may b momentarily compounding a felon; by not speaking right out in meet ing, but that does not mean that Dol lalre will not get his desserts in due course or the others either. I promised you that the other night. But the Mask Is at the bottom ol all this, and he comes first. Do you agree?" Her hand closed over his. "YES" 'he; nld; "but what are you Koing ia aa, uonn i "I'm going back by the Bonaven- ture tomorrow." Colin!" If Laanrre llvos, he'll eventually land up in Now York. And moan while there's the Wine PreBB." But you do not know what that Is, or where It Is, or anything aboui THE launch spurted out from the bank. Colin dragged his hand In the water, and at moments sur reptitiously bathed hla head. There was no sign of the power boat. She bad nursed the engine to top speed. The launoh was cleaving the smooth water like an arrow. Suppose Lazarre lived? Suppose Lazarre died? In either case La sarre would no longer be here on the north shore. What was he to do? A thought flashed through his mind -startling him. Ha pondered It a moment The germ ot It grew flourished. Like the next chapter! That ubiquitous analogy! "Colin," she questioned anxiously, "are you really all right?" "Absolutely!" he lied tosvlnclng tr. "My wrists were a bit numb at Irst, ot course, but they're aa good e ever now. I'm perfectly lit, dear- It." T know lt'a in New York; and that, if It isn't actually the Mask's headquarters, It's at loast where his orders come from. I'll And it." But, Colin" her voice wob breaking "he knows you. You said o yourself. You'll be recognized, and" "Not this time,' 'said Colin quiet ly. "I'll aoe to that." But how?" I don't know yot. But don't worry, doar there are four days In which to figure that out before I even reach Quebec." She made no Immediate reply. She devoted herself to the engine. Later ahe opened the locker be neath their seat. "Coffee and sandwiches," ahe said, with a little catch In her voice. "We must koop a lookout for Dollalre's achooner at the cape, mustn't we?" "He'll be away long before we get tbero," Colin anawered. "Ger malne, dear, It'll all come out right." She nestled close to him. "Oh, Colin," ehe whispered, "I'm terribly, terribly afraid. Ian't lan't there some other way?" His arms were around her. "It's the one chance for both ot us," he answered buoyantly. "We'll win. You'll see." It was four o'clock In the morning when they reached Cap a l'Orage, There were no lights In the village. No one was astir. (Copyright, Mi. frank 0. PoekardJ .
