PACKARD SrSOPMS: Colin Beutltt hoe gone to a myeterioue erooke' hang out known at the ''club," on tho St. Lawrence, to team a "member,' Joe Laearre, el an attach by ht jackere under Contain Dollaire. Colin hopet for Laearre'e aid aoamet the Uaek, Neio York killer, lie ie too late: Dollaire eaeke the elub, taearre ie badly mounded, and Colin manageo to drag him at the laet moment from the burning "olubhouee." He telle Qermaine Tremblay, hie flance'e, that he muet return to New York, even though the Uaek hoe marked him for death. Chapter is ALIAS CLARKIE LUNN IT ni f ettlng late almost time to tart out on the "from twelve to before daylight" rounds again. Colin, pacing up and down tbe room that he had occupied since his return to N'ew York, halted abruptly and stared moodily at the calendar on the wall. The second ot August. It was lust a month to the day since he had left Cap a l'Orage. From the calendar, hla eyes trav led to the mirror on the bureau. The reflection that returned his gaze was neither that ot Colin Hewitt, nor Mr. Routb, nor Donald Howard this was an Individual with Jet-black hair and Jet-black eyebrows, and deep cir cles under the eyes that spoke elo quently of habitual dissipation. The face was pasty In color; tbe toothbrush mustache gave the lips a Papa Goyetto's cruel and sinister expression. A quite i well-dressed Individual, thought One Clarkle Lnnn, alias oh, well, like Roddy Turner, Clarkle Lunn. had many other aliases on tapl Colin smiled caustically so did the reflection. Not a nice face but a work of axtl Yet the art of old Papa Ooyette had availed nothing, and the weeks had gone by fruit lessly. He flung himself Into a chair and lighted a cigarette. Worry showed In his knitted brow. What was he to do? Oo on as he had been doing? The result had been nil neither a break nor a lead nor a clue of any kind. It waa becoming a bit difficult to keop on bolstering btmselt up with the hope that something waa bound to turn up Just around the next cor ner. COULD he have dona anything other than he had done? He had a feeling tbat perhaps unconscious y he had treated himself as though Ss were actually one ot his own char acters tor whom he was plotting the way out from some ugly situation, It waa natural enough that his rmlnd might have run in those chan nels. But, granting that were so, had he anywhere Indulged an Instinct for dramatlo effect at the expense of bald reality, and thereby lost In any degree his sense ot proportion? He shook his head. The plan tbat lie had mapped out for himself had eemed all right at the time. It teemed so now. But he had accom plished nothing. Perhaps, after all, he bad slipped somewhere. , His mind searched back over the week! that were gone. He had loft the Bonaventure at Quebec and bad returned to Boston. From there he had telephoned to Butch Connal. He had taken no chances ot being seen with Butch In New York, for Ileddy bad beon one ot Butch Connal's gang. Butch had met him In Boston He had told Butch much ot what bad happened, and he remembered Butch's answer when he had then axplalned what he wanted. 8 At EM, Aug. 39 (AT) Hal E. Hobs, secretary of state, who has teen absent Irom the capltol for sev eral months for his health, will be "Sure!" Butch had said. "There's nothing to It. I can tlx that for you. When you hit N'ew York even that dick pal of yours down at the Homi cide Joint would glre you the stony stare. There's a guy right here that I've pulled a lot of deals with that'll make you wonder who you're looking at every time you lamp a mirror." And so Papa Ooyette had created Clarkle Lunn. The thought ot Papa Goyetta brought a smile. Papa Ooy ette was a stumpy, gesticulating lit' tie Frenchman, by profession a cos tumier, by nature a crook. He paid no income tax on what he received from the rentals of cos tumes for private theatricals and that sort ot thing, for such roturns were genuinely meager; and he kept no books to exploit the profits he made through the vast quantity of stolen goods that passed through his hands. Papa Ooyette was clever. As a costumier he knew his business, and was highly spoken of In that respect. It be eked out a bare living thereby, he was cheerfully optlmlstlo and did not complaint THE! transformation bad taken place in the ultra-strict privacy ol one of Papa Goyetto's ingeniously contrived back rooms. It had bees eminently successful. At Its conclu "masterpiece" slon Papa Ooyette had rubbed hit bands with delight. "There!" he had exclaimed. "It It my masterpiece. Lookl You do not know yourBoltl Nol But do not for get one little thing. It will not last all by ltaelf. The hairs sprout. And from undornenth tbe skin they come up with the old color. Very well, I will tell you of a friend ot mine In New York who will take care ot that. and the other little repairs that will be necessary. But be careful of that so-auperb little mustachel You understand? It la Incomparable. It Is as good as though you had had time to grow one. I, Papa Qoyotte, have nover made anything before that could ap proach It. It Is what do you call It? the singing noto of the whole faco. "It Is not pleasant? No. But the cement that holds It changes the expression ot the Hps! You see? It Is art! Yes, I, Papa Goyetto, applaud myself." . Colin swore softly under his breath. Damn the mustache! It had been the source of endless discom fort at first, but he was becoming used to It now. From his chair Colin glanced again across the room at the mir ror and Clarkle Lunn flashed him back a twisted grin. Ills own mothor. had she been alive, as the trite ex pression had It, would not have rec ognised him. He nodded thoughtfully to himself. Papa Ooyette, with the subsequent assistance ot Papa Ooyette's "friend" here in New York, had performed little short ot a miracle. But he owed Papa Ooyette far more than that Papa Ooyette had not only created Clarkle Lunn, but Papa Ooyette had oriented Clarkle Lunn in New York. It would have beon unwise, to say the least ot It, tor Clarkle Lunn, s newcomer, to throw In his lot openlj with Butch Connal's gang. Colin and Butch had talked that ovor from every anglo. Keddy had beon a mem ber ot Hutch Connal's gang. (Copyright, 1155, Frank L, Packard) OoHn riylewe hli ffora since leVtng Canada, tomorrow.
