"Well get fctie diviH" announced 'Mara as be slipped away. And while -waiting for bis return the Laughing Mask sent Peggy for a cupful of flour. "With this he powdered her hands and Iblanched her thin young face. Dan O'Mara had stepped back Into the -bouse before the masked Tisitor had (completed his task. "Now, I want that sniper to think lie's done his work, I don't want him to break from cover until your friends Siave surrounded that house. So take your daughter and carry her out, just as though she were a dead girl." ; Dan O'Mara, doing as. he was di rected, stepped from the doorway with Ills own white-faced daughter hanging limp in his arms. He acted his part fwlth a sincerity that was not without conviction. For, two minutes after he had staggered into the open with that Apparently sad burden, the sniper from the shuttered house was detected slip ping out of a cellar window and scur jrylng along a broken fence. That escape, however, came before !Dan O'Mara's friends could completely take up their position about the sus pected house. But one of those friends caught sight of the fugitive in the strange-looking cape, the alarm was igiven, and the pursuit began. It was not a long chase, but It was la stern one. Determined as those in jdlgnant factory-tollers were to run down the mysterious gunman so wan Itonly threatening their homes, the fleeing Maukl proved himself starting ly fleet of foot. He gained sufficiently ion his pursuers to round a corner, dodge into an empty coalshed, and emerge a moment later as a stooped old woman in amber-colored spectacles and a rusty gray wig. Being obviously hard of hearing, this same old woman could not give much Information to the group of excited men suddenly ac costing her as she hobbled across the street. Five minutes later a swarthy-skinned "man with wiry black hair was hurry ing aeross country to one of the well concealed dens of Jules Legar, where' he duly reported to the Iron Claw the news of his enemy's ruse and his own narrow escape. Before the second day had passed "Legar had evolved yet another plan for the subjugation of his enemies. This took the form of a decoy mes sage delivered to the unsuspecting Peggy O'Mara, purporting to be a hasty request from Frank Aimick to come to his studio at nine o'clock that night, to the end that he might hurry to completion one of his unfinished canvases for which the girl was act , lng as a costume model. Legar ana two of his followers, in the meantime, entered Aimick's studio on the pre tense of being a lire marshal's inspec tor, caught the artist oil his guard, end carried him bound and gagged and helpless to one of the small back rooms of the studio building. Peggy herself, before starting out in answer to that summons, was still somewhat uneasy in mind over recent events. So she left word with her father to call for her not later than eleven o'clock. But more than Dan O'Mara called for his daughter that night, for ten minutes after her departure from the cottage Margery Golden's limousine drew up at the door. Margery's eyes widened when O'Mara explained the reason of his daughter's absence from home. "But an artist like Frank Aimick would never be able to work at night," she arguod, with growing alarm. "He must have daylight for working in color." Dan O'Mara turned to the table at his side. "Here's his message, rlain as day, written in his own handwritin'," was the puzzled workman's only explana tion. Margery took the message in her hand and studied it Then her color faded a little. "That is not Frank Aimick's writ ing: sne suddenly announcea. "We must get to that studio as fast as my car can carry us. Peggy O'Mara. in the meantime, was being confronted by more than one surprise. The first came with her arrival at the Aimick studio, when the stranger who opened the door in response to her knock informed her that the artist wa3 out, but would re turn In a minute or two. The sec ond came with the quiet movement of yet another man who sidled up to Ithe studio door and promptly locked FATHER am? oarrea "iu out. un gieaicsi sur prise of all awaited her as she turned from the door and saw Legar himself standing before her. She stood there, white lipped, star ing from one evil face to the other as Legar's companions closed In about her. "You're a fine bunch o' cradle snatchers!" she finally and wrathfully burst out at them, with the ultimate and reckless anger of desperation in her eyes. "You're a grand army o' heroes, you are, to come five strong agin a girl like me!" "Stop that brat!" commanded the Irate Legar. And there was a general movement in the direction of the blazing-eyed girl. There was one man in that group, however, who did not Join in that movement. The reason for this lay in the fact that at that moment he happened to be looking up at the paint ing of "The Vigilante." He was about to reach for a heavy easel-peg, to fling at the canvas, when he suddenly straightened up, clapped a hand to his shoulder, and turned about There was a look of mingled wonder and incredulity on his face, Then he slowly drew from the fleshy part of his upper arm a small steel dart, little bigger than a knitting needle.' The next moment' a second ' man, moving across the room to catch up a curtain cord with which to tie the captured girl, felt a sudden sting in his hip, stopped abruptly and point ed with a shout of anger toward tho canvas above the mantel. Still another of Legar's followers, not realizing the meaning of that cry, stepped forward and stared at the painting. Out of the barrel-end of the painted rifle, as he did so, shot still another dart which buried itself in his neck. "Th darts!" he mumbled, as thick ly as a drunken man might. "Th' darts 're drugged!" But even before those mumbled words were spoken the swarthy skinned Maukl, trying to hold the still struggling Peggy O'Mara down on a divan, felt a sharp pain above his shoulderblade, turned about, and saw Legar run across the room and catch up the heavy brass fire tongs from be side the mantel end. "The painting!" squeaked Maukl, staggering out against the model throne. "The painting it is spit ting steel at us!" Legar, however, was no longer In need of that warning. Standing to one side of the mantel, close beside the wall, he attacked the huge can vas with his fire-tongs, beating in the center of the picture at the same time that Peggy O'Mara, realizing that she wa3 no longer being held a pris oner, caught up a teakwood tabou ret and with it precipitated her self on the preoccupied Legar. He ignored that flank attack, how ever, for the Iron Claw suddenly found himself confronted by a figure of more importance than either the spindle legged girl or a painted gunman. Out from behind that tattered can vas had emerged a man wearing a yellow mask, tossing to. one side a A FINE TREATMENT FOR CATARRH Easy to Make and Costs Little. Catarrh is such an insidious disease and has become so prevalent during the past few years that its treatment should be understood by all. Science has fully proved that Ca tarrh is a constitutional disease and therefore requires a constitutional treatment. Sprays, inhalers, salves and nose douches seldom if ever give lasting benefit and often drive the disease further down the air passages and into the lungs. If you have Catarrh or Catarrhal deafness or head-noises, go to your druggist and get one ounce of Parmint (Double strength). Take this home aud add to it pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated sugar; stir un til dissolved, take one tablespoonful 4 times a day. This will often bring quick relief from the distressing . head-noises, clogged nostrils should' open, breath ing becomes easy and mucus stop dropping into the throat. This treatment has a slight tonic action which makes it especially ef fective in cases where the blood has become thin and weak. It is easy to make, tastes pleasant and costs little. Every person who wishes to be free from this destructive disease should give this treatment a trial. Adv. THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM J ftUN-TEIJlGRAAI, :.: :-: :-: BY ARTHUR STRINGER slender blowpipe" as Ife'Eame. Before he could regain his feet after that hur ried leap from the mantel shelf, Legar himself had dropped the fire tongs and whipped a revolver from his pocket. This he leveled directly at the body of the Laughing Mask. But before he could pull the trigger, Peggy's tabouret struck against his out stretched arm, knocking the weapon un in the air.
