PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, 5IEDFORD, OREGON, TVEDXESDAT, AUGUST 30, 1933. llu. HIDDEN DOOR BY FRANK L. PACKARD KYXOPSHl Colin HawiU'a trip into the wild! north of the Bt. Lawrence river, where he had hoped to secure Joe Lasarre's aid against the Uask, New York killer, hae tailed. He found I.asarre In o crooks' club the ntoht tt was Backed and burned by ht-fackere under Captain Dollalre. Colin dragged Lamarre, badly wounded, from the . burning "club," but woe forced to leave him behind. But he met and fell in love with Qermalno Trem blav whom he aleo hae had to leave in Canada. A Botton cos turner hae made Colin a new faoe, but Colin hae not found a clue to the whereabouts of the Mask, aU though he has searched New York for a month. He reviews hie Chapter 29 IN THE DARK A NO to It had ban decided that Colin would hare full sunnort and help of Butch Connal'a gang- but that they would work apart. Therefore It waa Papa Goyette who bad tUDDlled Clarkle Lunn with a "reputation" not aa that of a crook oi nign degree, but aa of one of those In whoae past the police would take an abiding Interest It certain Intl mate details were hut known. It was also Papa Qoyette who bad aeoured bis entree Into thli mnmln. house which was a hangout of well- dressed gentry outside the law. Batch Connal and bis mob had worked unceasingly and Butch, when be communicated by telephone was known as MarteL And he, Colin had not spared himself. Days and nights of HI His knowledge of the dens and dives that, not so long ago, he had frequented In search of other material had stood hlra In annd tAnri o far as gaining admission there unto was concerned. He had haunt ed them; he had also haunted virtu ally every night club In New York, A atrar word, a whlanar. dence exchanged behind the unhal- . lOWed DOrtalS Of the ntlllArwnrM where daylight never entered that waa what be bad Bought and hoped for. But he had boon unrewarded. The Win Press was as much of a mystery aa ever. Never bad he heard so much aa a mention of the Mask. Reddy's letter was still, figurative ly speaung, in hie pocket. He did not even know whether Latarre bad lived or died. Butch Connal had un covered nothing. There had been no trace of Lasarre or any oi Lasarre's eomoanlona since the nleht nt Tint. aire's attack upon the club at the uascaoe River. Well, there was probably a very good reason for that. Thiw warn keeping under cover. Before be bad ert Boston the newspapers had had the story. The caption of one In particular, set In lurid tvne and hla. toned across the front page, floated again before hla mind's eye: INTERNATIONAL , COUNTERFEITING PLANT UNCOVERED It waa the first inkling be had had of the actual nature of the Mir' "interests" on the north shore. He could not say that he had been star tled. What had Interested blm far more waa the "stories" that the pa pers had run day by day. They bad supplied some details, of course, that he bad not heretofore known; but they had not furnished blm with anything concrete In the way of a clue and certainly had not blazed any trail for him to follow. Perhaps, though, he might have overlooked something. He pieced the stories together again In hla mind. A FEW days after he had loft on the Bonaventure, a fisherman from Cap a l'Orage, passing the mouth of the Cascade River, had no tloed that the club bad been burned down, The fisherman had landed, discovered the wreckage of the pow er plant and the bodies of two mur dered men one of whom he knew to be Kennlston. He bad returned post-haste to Cap & l'Orage and had made Us report. A crossing was at once made to Gaspd coast and the vires had begun to hum In the twinkling of an eye Cap a l'Orage bad emerged from obscurity Into the fierce glare of newspaper publicity! Well, aa had been so of ten said, It was an 111 wind that blow nobody good. Madame FTonler's Ho tel du Canada must have done a thriving business I By planes, by boats from the Gaspd shore, police and reporters had llockod to the scene and Cap a l'Orage bad auto matically become their hekdquar tera. Below the ground level of the wrecked power house had been found the presses and the numer ous platea that proclaimed the uses to which the presses bad been put. The work had been done on a vast acale the paper currency of many nations, where there was worth while value behind such nations' gen USUAL CHURCH SERVICE AT PHOENIX ON SUNDAY PHOENIX, Aug. 30 (Spl.) Ser vices at the Presbyterian church hero for next Sunday are aa usual. Sun day school at 10 o'clock, J, O. N. Po ling, supt. I WITH ijfiM h2s THI NATION uine notes, had been masterfully re produced In various denominations. A salmon club! Closed tight each .year during the winter. Who would think of digging up the cement floor ing of the power house, or dream that, underneath, a modern and up-to-date printing plant had been In stalled that was capable of turning out a year's supply of spurious notes in a few months or so and without working overtime at that! Kennlston's life had been laid bora from the day of his birth, but who were the men he had gathered around him? No one knew. Gregg, later Identified by Dr. Tremblay aa a patient he had once visited at the club, was simply Gregg. The trail ended there. Who had blown up the power house? Very few of the spurious notes bad been found had Kennl ston's men turned against blm, put him on the spot and made off with the notes? Or what? Who were the two men who, giving their names aa Laroque and Bolduc, bad arrived In Cap a l'Orage, announcing that they were going up the coast to visit friends at Seven Islands; but, In stead of hoarding the Bonaventure In due course, had mysteriously dis appeared? There had been no mention of one Dollalre. Not there had been noth ing in the published news that had afforded him any help. Lazarre and his companions might as well never have existed so far as their Identi ties and present whereabouts were concerned. No mention of one Anatole Bou chard, either! Therefore Bouchard was still at Cap a l'Orage and was probably engaged In drinking him self Into a state of coma; for, other wise, Bouchard's sudden disappear ance must Inevitably have attracted attention too. CAP A L'ORAGE! He would have liked to know more of what waa going on at Cap a l'Oragj day by day. No; that was not at all what he meant! He Jumped to his feet and began to pace the room again. It waa Germalne he was thinking of now. It was news of Germalne he wanted. It was an Impossible situ ation for them both, yet one where a false move or the slightest slip would spell disaster. She had unhesitatingly agreed that his connection with the north shore should be entirely severed for the time being, even though by some roundabout way it was possible that a moans of communication might bo established between them. Not a happy solution for either of them but, with their world at stake, the only sate one. He halted abruptly In his stride. A voice was calling from the hall: "Hen, Clnrkle! You're wantod on the phone. Not a dame you're out of luck I" Colin opened the door and stepped out. "Thanks!" he said to an empty hall. There waa a telephone booth here on the ground floor lta sound-proof quality unquestionably guaranteed by. virtue of Its environment. Colin entered the booth. "Hello," he said. Butch Connal's voice came u,er the wire : That you, Clarkle?" Okay Martel," Colin answered. "Shoot." I just got tipped oft by one of the boys. That rum-runner guy you waa telling me about Is In town usual business. You know who I mean?" Colin caught hla. breath. There was only one "wm-runnor guy" be had over talked about to Butch Con nal. Dollalro! And, from what Bol duc had said, Dollalre at times sold bis wares In New York. "Sure!" be said. Well," said Butch Oonnal, "he's over at Splnolll's hobnobbing with a boose baron. It looks like they was going to make a night of it, but you novor can toll. Thoy may blow. So, If you want to bco him, hop to It. I know you ain't nover lamped his map and don't know him, but you'll find the dope waiting for you. The drunk In the bar. Get mo? So long!" Colin hung up the receiver. The blood was tingling In his veins. Dol lalre here In New York again I Had Dollalre underrated the Mask or was he moroly contemptuous? A break at last I If Dollalre was over there at Splnolll's, It was a hundred, to-one bet that the Mask, or some of his minions, hot on Dollalre's trail, would be there too. Colin raced back to his room tot hla hat, and, a minute later, left the house. (Copyright, Ml, Frank L. Packard) Colf meati. tomorrow, an In abrliittd omtlaman wfco alio ra fill. . "V Information.
