' IC was as ha "maneuvered to bring about this shift of position that the ever-watchful Legar, alert for the most trivial advantage, saw his chance. Swinging bis body suddenly free from its footing on tbe narrow ledge of metal where ha stood, he pendalumed towards his momentarily unstable op
ponent, throwing bis feet forward and upward, as he did so, with all the fore of a football player kicking a double punt The force of this unlooked-for Impact was too much for the man in the
mask. He tottered back, caught Iran
tically at a soot-covered steel bar be
tide him, dropped the full length of its diagonal course before he could make sure of his clutch, and came into violent collision with the heavy iron block of a crane ladle. There, halfstunned by the blow, he fell sprawling across a polished steel cable which drooped floorward between the block and its empty metal pot. He tried to clutch that cable as he fell, but his speed proved too great and his overtaxed lingers were too weak. As he fell along its polished surface, however, it offered sufficient resistance to carry his limp body beyond the peril of that open lake of molten metal, which, his frantic brain kept telling him, meant death. And as he dropped weakly from the cable loop to a pile pt molding sand lying between a casting box and an empty spill trough, a score of watching men gave utterance to a shout of relief and a score of waiting hands were there to help him to his feet. So Intent were those astounded ironworkers on watching that perl aus fall, however, that they paid scant attention to the second figure climbing splderllke higher along the blackened ironwork of the blackened roof. They caught no glimpse of him as he scram
bled, sooty and panting, through the!
ventilating flue that opened on the roof itself. Nor did any eye follow him as he crept, gorillalike, along the perilous slope of that ' roof until he cameo the end of the buildinr. Along

ground. He promptly tested the strength of this wire, satisfying himself carefully, foot by foot, by means of one hand and an iron hook which struck and clung to the metal with the vicious tenacity of an eagle's claw. , When he reached the ground, still breathing heavily, he looked cautiously about. Then, making sure he was not observed, he slipped into the shadow of a pile of iron ingots, once more waited and listened, and then, crouching low, crossed the foundry yard and climbed the high board fence surrounding it. And a moment later the darkness of the night had swallowed him op. ELEVENTH EPISODE

CHICAGO, Sept. 12. Miss Vivian

her visit to the bright lights for a time.

The length is modish loo, revealing of the frock and the lalntilr booted foot
as anything nut attractive. Ana an i
honest man, Peggy argued with herself, finds no need for stealing up to a house at night and closeting himself with its owner behind the locked door of a cellar workroom. So the spindlelegged daughter of Dan O'Mara, watching for her chance, decided to investigate. But the girl's chances for investigation were limited, for Peggy was a hard-driven young housekeeper, with a bedridden mother to look after as best she could. Late one night, however, when Dan O'Mara had led his mysterious visitor into his cellar workroom and locked the door behind him, the girl slipped off her broken-toed shoes and stole silently down to that underground chamber of mystery. There, with her ear to the keyhole, she overheard enough to confirm her darkest suspicions. She waited until the mysterious visitor had stolen out through the house, with a parcel under his arm, and then once more made her way down to her father's workroom. The door, this time, was unlocked. So she entered noiselessly and crept over to where Dan O'Mara sat staring at the wall with unseeing eyes. Top, what're you thinkin' about?" suddenly asked a tremulous voice close to his shoulder. He swung about like a shot "What should I be thinkin' about?" he demanded. "You're thinkin' about that man who was down here ten minutes ago," was the girl's answer. "What man?" equivocated the culprit . "Chinatown Charlie." "And howd you know he's called Chinatown Charlie?" demanded rebellious-eyed Dan O'Mara. . '1 know more'n that, pop," said the
girl, with a gulp. '1 know that city crook's ropin you in for work I never thought you'd do!" "Work? What work?" "There's a bunch of opium smugglers got wise to the fact that tbe dye works is bringln' in tons of that Kaisow wood from China. And certain o' them blocks is goin' to come In hollow with secret marks, and you're goin' to dig the opium out o' them and hide it here until that hop runner for Chinatown Charlie comes and carries it away in a laundry bag!" "Ain't .your, mother got to have med
icine?" demanaea ner lather. "Ain't we behind in our rent? And ain't the company docked me ten a month since that one-armed man had me machine work taken away from me?" "But youll have more'n your machine taken away from you, pop. Youll be queered with the company, for tamperin' with stock, and then the bulls 11 get wise and send yon up the rrrer for smugglln'!" "I've thought that out, me gerlL I've no love for goin' against the law, at me time o' life, but I guess we've got to take chances. We've got to, or go under for good and all! For I'm thinkin' your poor mother was right when she said there was no crime so black
aa the crime o bein' poor!" "But they'd promised to raise your pay; over to the dye works!" she reminded him. "Instead o' which they took off me machine and gave it to that one-armed snitch who claimed I'd been workin' against the company by tryin' to invent a chemical color that'd soon be sendin' their old logwood plant V the scrap heap!" Silent as Peggy O'Mara remained on the subject of her discovery, she brooded long and darkly on this heavier cloud that hung over her home and her father's good name. It haunted her thoughts aa she worked. It filled her blind young heart with a spirit of revolt It converted her Into a diminutive yet lowering-browed Ishmaellte. She hated the owner of the workf she told herself as she carried her fa. titer's dinner pail to tbe factory the next day, and she hated the hardvoiced foreman of the shaft room. She turned to stare belligerently towards Anson Applewalthe, the Immaculate son of the factory owner himself, as he ushered into the room of whirring shafts and flying belts a small group of visitors.. , . Yet the IshmaeMlke young face soft
ened a little as she looked at one member of that approaching group. For
one falr-halred girl of about twenty, dressed in black, whom young Applewalthe piloted about amid the roaring and clattering machinery and repeatedly addressed as "Miss Golden," was beautiful enough to bring a wayward pang of envy to the breast of Peggy O'Mara. As she watched her eyes suddenly widened in alarm. For Margery Golden, In staring about the room, had unconsciously moved closer to one of the ponderous machines. There the loose end of her motor-cape was snapped at by a spinning cog wheel, as a hound snaps at a bone. The next moment the whirling teeth bad fastened themselves in the fabric of the garment edge, carrying it back between the Jaws of the twin cogs that quickly closed on t the cloth and seemed to reach out for more. At the same moment that Margery Golden turned about to determine the meaning of this sudden tug at her clothing, the alert-eyed Peggy O'Mara made an apparently maniacal spring for that astounded young woman's throat With a quick Jerk of her thin young fingers Peggy tore the cape free where it was already straining against the white column of its wearer's throat It was not until Margery Golden saw the iron teeth of the cog wheels swallowing up the last of her vanish ing cape that any inkling of her danger came home to her. Margery Golden stepped back and leaned against a guard rail. Then, after looking studiously at the slattern and slightly abashed figure of her deliverer, she opened her pocketbook and from it took out two or three nral-

ly 'folded banfi notes. These fee held smilingly , out to the girt with the broken-toed shoes. But a quick flash spread ever the usually colorless cheeks of Miss Peggy O'Mara as she backed determinedly away from the bills. "Don't you care to take them?" asked the somewhat astonished young woman in black. "No ma'am!" was the girl's almost sullen retort "I aint earned 'em!" "But I rather think yon have," persisted the other, still smiling. "You see, you saved my life. And surely you won't embarrass me by arguing that it's not worth that much!" "I don't want your money," announced the sullen-eyed girl, putting her hands behind her. But already young Applewalthe was discreetly doing his best to pilot his visitors away from the scene.
Peggy O'Mara stared after the departing group; So Intently did she stare after them, that she was oblivious of the movements of the one-armed man who had been stooping low over his machine, In a pretense of filling its oil cups. He crept out to where a small gold locket had dropped from
Margery Golden's neck during tbe en
counter. He caught it up from the oil-
stained floor, looked at it for one short moment, and then slipped It triumphantly into his pocket. After that he
stood behind his machine, well out of
sight watching the fair-haired girl in black as she stepped out through the factory door. His eyes, as he watched her, were both calculating and sinister. But the pallid-faced girl standing bo close beside him had no means of knowing that this preoccupied and stoop-shouldered workman who had lost his right hand was Jules Legar, long known to his enemies . as the Iron Claw. That mysterious one-armed man, however, was destined to become better acquainted with Peggy O'Mara than she imagined. For that night, when the uneasy-minded girl knew her father to be once more shut up in his cellar workroom, she was further disturbed by the sound of stealthy steps across the bare wooden floor of her home. She tiptoed out through the door, crossed to the cellar steps, and crept silently down into the darkness. There, vaguely outlined against the door cracks in the wall shielding her father, she could make out a stealthily Inquisitive figure. And sheknew that figure could mean no good to the house of .O'Mara. To Be Continued.
