(Read this story In th Palladium and see it at the Palace. ' Tnat ominous silence, however, last d only for a few seconds. Out of It arose muffled calls and tain cries for help, followed by answering shouts from many different points In the darkness as rescuing hands set to work on the ruins. And out of those ruins, while this work was going on, emerged two bruised and tattered figures strangely divergent in appearances. The first figure, worming its way out through the interstices of crumbled rock and cement, as cautiously and as silently as a wounded blacksnake might crawl from a cave, bore an iron claw at the end of its right arm and betrayed an unmistakable desire to creep away into the darkness before being observed. The second man, who, on recovering consciousness found himself encaged between two fallen pillars of marble topped by one of the roof slabs, expertenced no little difficulty in emerging to the open, so closely were these protecting pillars wedged about him. But as he worked his bruised body through that Giant's Causeway of broken rock, he felt grateful enough, remembering what had happened, to be still alive. And sore as he was in body, he was even more bruised in spirit at the memory of the fact that his enemy, Jules Legar, had at the last moment escaped from his clutch.
The Lake of Fire. Legar, lucky as his escape had been, knew that his margin of safety was still too narrow for much immediate comfort of either mind or body. So he crawled away as best ho could, nursing his strength when he came to cover and going on again when some passing light showed that cover to be none too dense. But he did not give tip until ho bad reached higher ground. There he was able to hide himself In a thicket and rest for an hour or two. But to remain in that neighborhood until morning, he knew, would be out of the question. About that whole suspected area, he felt, the police would surely throw a cordon, and tho resource of disguise was no longer at his disposal. Already from where he lay, he could see dozens of moving lamps of workers about the mausoleum ruins. He could also see the glow of a powerful pair of headlights, apparently on a motor car threading its way to the scene of the explosion. 'And to tho north he could even more distinctly see the fiery tongues of the chimney flares above the Westingham foundry, where hundreds of toilers, turning night into day, worked about the great blast furnaces and cauldrons of molten metal. In a foundry such as that, be suddenly remembered, lay his best chance for escape. Disheveled as ha was, ho could pass unnoticed among those sooty workers. And when tho night shift went off, ha told himself, he could slip away in their midst, unnoticed and unchallenged. And if the worst came to the worst he could crawl into hiding somewhere about the tangle of machinery under that foundry roof itself, and there lay up until he knew the coast was clear again, with the chance of stealing a puddler's "Jumper" for a disguise and a dinner pail or two full of food for a meal. All this Legar might have done, and might have done without great diffi
culty, had not a trace of his older obsession of hate impinged on his clearly outlined course of action. Ho was once more himself, by this time, walking with a limp that was
scarcely discernible. But as he stole I
down from the higher ground and made his way back towards the Westingham chimney flares he bocame once more conscious of the whiter glare along the roadside he was so cautiously skirting. This, be remembered, as he stole nearer, came from the "headlights of a stalled limousine. Then he made a second and a more startling discovery. He knew, even before he caught sight of Train working over his helpless car, that it belonged to Enoch Golden. But what actually drew him closer to the spot was a glimpse of Margery Golden herself, in a gray fur motor coat, as she stepped from the body of the car and camo full into the glare of the head1 1 t A m .Inn..

ehauffanjt i . -
"Are we' stalled?" ho could hear the girl ask. "We'll be off again in a minute or two, Miss Margery," was Train's preoccupied reply. "But I can't stand here helpless," protested the girl. "I can't wait. I must know what has happened to David Manley." "Whatever It was, it's over and done by this time." "But be may be dead. He may be lying crushed under those fallen pillars. I must go on. Tell father I couldn't wait, that I've gone ahead on foot!" Legar, crouching back in the shaw ows, heard these hurried words and as hurriedly acted on them. Slinking back through the bushes, he swung about and followed the girl through the darkness. Yet it was not until tho girl had passed well out of hailing distance of the headllghted car that Legar circled even more hurriedly forward and swnng in again to intercept her. . She was trudging, a little breathlessly, up a sandy slope, with her straining eyes still fixed on the- moving lanterns about the ruined mausoleum. - Then," swinging apparently out of the empty air about her, a circle of steel, suddenly encompassing her arm, brought her to an abrupt stop. With one quick movement Legar tore the motor veil from her head, twisted it into a coil, and flung it about her neck. And all the while the
Iron Claw, grappling at her arm, held her as a steel trap might. She was already dizzy with pain when she heard the sharp crack of a revolver shot close over her shoulder. This was followed by a quick shout and a muttered oath. She felt herself
forcibly flung from Legar's arms into the arms of another man panting breathlessly up the sandy slope. Sho could see this man, even as he held her from falling, stop to level his gun at the fleeing figure of Legar. She could see him shoot again, and still again, at the same moment that Train and the plunging automobile came throbbing and panting up to the scene, the electric lamps throwing out their wavering, long columns of white light as they came. Then the stranger, ar. rested by certain gasping and gurgling sounds from the throat of the half-garroted girl in his arms, stooped down and tore the constricting veil away from the Blender, white column of her neck. And Margery, opening her eyes, saw that it was the Laughing Mask bending above her. "It was Legar!" she gasped as Train, followed by her father, came panting up to where they stood. "And there he goes now!" cried the Laughing Mask, pointing down the long lane of light columning out from the car's lamps. Across that narrow river of light they could catch a glimpse of a tall figure skulking off into the darkness. "Follow that man with your car," the Laughing Mask suddenly cried out to the chauffeur. "No car could travel through country like that!" protested Train. "Then keep your lights on the main road to the west here, so as to pick
him up if he tried to break through on that side. I'll swing around by the foundry yards and head him off In the east!" And the next moment the man in the yellow mask had disappeared In the darkness. Golden and his daughter stood staring after him. Two minutes later the blackness that had swallowed him up was stabbed by a series of flame flashes, followed by the repeated bark of a revolver. From the gloom still nearer the shadowy piles of the Westingham
foundry came an answering series of shots. "That means he's making for the foundry, sir!" cried the excited Train as he swung his car about. s "Then, for God's sake, get us there, as quick as you can," commanded Enoch Golden as the car lurched and pulsed and crawled on between the broken shrubbery, in perilous search for some open pathway. . v But; both Legar and his pursuer were by this time well beyond their line of vision. That desperate-minded master criminal, in fact, realizing that his enemy was pressing close at his heels, mounted a slag pile, dropped fiat, and emptied his revolver into the darkness, where the Laughing Mask should have beent . .

cur tne wary pursuer, dropping low
beside an empty pitch barrel, held his fire and waited. The moment he heard the crisp sound of footsteps along the slag Blope he once more took up the pursuit. That pursuit led through a narrow lane between great piles of structural iron. It led through an abandoned boiler room, then on through a dimly lighted and low-roofed structure of pulleys and lathes, and from there to the brighter lighted and higher roofed metal room of the foundry itself. There, beside glowing furnaces halfnaked men toiled over Incandescent annealing boxes and cauldrons of molten metal. There gigantic track cranes Bwung bowls of liquid fire from crucibles to mold beds. And there the harried Legar, bewildered by the sudden bright light, ran like a pelted hound down the sandy paths between forge and coke oven and cauldron crane. There, seeing his way blocked by a group of round-eyed Lithuanians, he swung, catlike, up into the iron network of the cable bridges, with his pursuer still close at his heels. And there,
midway across that smoke-stained roof, that echoed with the tumult of thunderous hammers and directly over a king cauldron of molten steel, the two men came together. -- There Legar, with bis metal claw hooked securely into the iron network above his head, swung about and faced his enemy. And there, on that grimy bridge high above the equally
grimy workmen who left their forges and lathes and cauldrons to witness the struggle, ' the two enemies, who had so long and bitterly opposed each other, found themselves face to face
for their final struggle. Yet the man in the yellow mask seemed the cooler headed of the two, for as Legar struck snarling at his face he ducked low on his narrow perch and at the same moment whipped his revolver from the side pocket of his coat. Yet Legar, with a movement equally prompt, kicked viciously at the fingers clustered about the gun-butt before the weapon itself could be brought into use. The next moment that weapon fell with a hiss and splash into the lake of molten metal beneath them. Then the struggle became one of tendon against tendon, of straining muscle against muscle, of emptyhanded mortal strength pitted against mortal strength. There, like animals of the wild, high in some Amazonian eyrie, the two strangely entangled figures fought and struggled and clawed and struck. In the matter of mere physical strength Legar seemed to have the advantage. And what under ordinary circumstances might have proved a disability could now be turned to his advantage. For the iron claw at the end of his right arm, hooked securely into the network of steel behind him, held him there without effort and without strain. His opponent, on the other hand, found it no easy task to make sure of his perch above that ever-intimidating cauldron of molten metal. His arm shook with the tension imposed on his overtaxed muscles. His fingers became numb with pain, threatening to lose their prehensile power, and even as he fought he weakened to a realization that he must chap-e '. ?vlf . To Be Continued.
