Korman whipepd a revolver from his pocket. Jensen stared incredu- lously. Grant leaped toward the prone figure. He knelt over the body, press- ed his hand beneath Lawson's coat. "Dead." "But how?" shouted Jensen. They crowded around the corpse. Keyed up as they were, expect- ing anything, they were totally unprepared for the result of Grant's rapid investigation. "Heart failure." There was not a mark on the body. Everyone knew that no person had been within three feet of Lawson when he crumpled lifeless in his chair; there had been neither the sound of a shot nor the flash of a knife; yet such was the fear of the Raiders' threat that each felt a grim con- viction that the unknown crimi- nal had caused the attorney's death. "Heart failure,' snarled Norris. "You can't make me believe that. He was murdered. And the Raider did it. Search the grounds. He's somewhere about." The man was almost incoherent with terror; his flabby face was wet with sweat. "Look for a blow- gun--an air-rifle--something--". Grant tore the dead man's shirt open. Ce "You can see for yourself," he tapped out curtly. "Lawson drop- ped dead. The strain was too much for him." - "The Raider said 'one of us at midnight. And Law- the door. ; "Look around, constable. If there's anyone in the neighbor- _ hood, pick him up." Jensen blundered out of the cabin with drawn revolver. With the help of the others, Grant lifted Lawson's body to a couch. He telephoned to Balsam Ridge -for a doctor. In his own mind he felt certain that Lawson had dropped dead in sheer fright. The strain of wait- ing for the hour of midnight, the tension under which they had all been placed, was too much for him. And yet there remained the "inescapable fact that the Raider had sworn to kill one of the men responsible for his com- rade's death at the moment of the execution. F Was it possible that the mask- ed avenger had devised some dia- bolic scheme whereby he _ had meted out swift and invisible death to Lawson? The sardonic Pettengill had picked up lLawson's half-filled glass and was sniffing at it cau- tiously. "What's in that glass?" manded Grant, sharply. "Whiskey. I just wondered--"' "You wondered what?" "There is always the possibili- ty of poison," remarked Petten- ill. a "We'll leave that for the doc- LOTR es "Poison!" yelped Korman. "My God--maybe we've ALL been poisoned." With a convulsive movement he seized his own glass and flung it against the wall. "Don't do that!' 'shouted Grant. "Leave it for analysis." He was too late. The glass had already shattered into frag- ments. And the back-swing of Korman's arm knocked over the whiskey bottle. It went rolling across the table just as Grant lunged for it, knocked over the glass which Pettengill had re- placed on the table and fell to the floor with a crash. The fragments of both glass and bot- tle mingled on the floor in a pool of liquor. "Poison!" snapped Grant bit- "Tf the liquor was poison- de- terly.

"Personally, I think that poison idea is the bunk. We'd all be dead now. That liquor came from Lawson's own private stock__" They heard a shout outside, a protesting voice, a thudding of feet on the steps. swung open and Jensen stumbled into the room, grasping a dishev- elled, clamorous man by the col- lar. "Look what I found, snoopin' around under the trees," grunted the constable as he gave his cap- tive a push that sent him reeling against the wall. Grant recognized the fellow as Dopey Magee, the village half- wit, an unkempt, ragged wretch who had wandered into Balsam Ridge some three months prev- ious and who managed a precar- ious livelihood by grinding knives and scissors from house to house. Dopey crouched against the wall, his vacant eyes staring in terror, his straw-colored hair sticking out at all angles from beneath his tattered cap. » "T ain't done nothin',"' he sniv- elled. "Lemme go." "Found him hiding in the bush- es back of the cabin," declared Jensen. "He ran when I saw him, but I collared him. What were you doing there, fellow?" "Nothin'," whimpered Dopey. His eyes roved -the room. He saw the body of Lawson on the couch and he pointed a trembling finger. "Is_-is he dead?" "Never mind," snapped Grant. "what brought you up here to- night?" aan "T__I wanted to see what was goin' to happen," the man whined led when Dave Demave hung." j eae "Who told you somebody was going to get killed?" Grayt de- manded. { é "They all said it. Down in the village. I wasn't doing nothin'. Iknew you was all here." "Anyone with you?" "No. Nobody but me," "Did you see anyone when you were hanging around back of the cabin?" "Didn't see nobody," snivelled Dopey. Grant flung open the door. "Get out!" he snapped. "Clear out of here and keep your mouth shut." ! The half-wit pointed to the body again. "How---how did he get kil- ligalige 'Clear out." Dopey scuttled across the threshold. Beyond the doorway he turned. "Lawson's dead, eh? he said, with a cackling laygh. "T knew it was going to happen. The Raider did it. He'll gét the rest of ycu, too. I bet if was him killed the man down jon the south road tonight. He's smart, _--the Raider." 4 "What's that?" shouted Grant. "Who was killed on the south road?" "You go and see," screeched Dopey, backing down the steps. "Over on the Goldcrest. With a bullet in him. I bet the Raider did that. And you'll all get the same." Before Grant could move he plunged down the steps into the darkness. They heard him run- ning across the clearing and then he went stumbling and crashing into the undergrowth. "Crazy as a loon," said Petten- gill, drily. Grant was puzzled. "I don't know. What did he mean 'by saying there was a man killed on the Goldcrest property tonight? He couldn't imagine that."

"But I don't mind admitting that I don't feel easy about this business. Lawson might have died of heart failure, but--_" "His heart picked a queer time to stop naturally," observed Pet-¥ tengill. "And if, as Dopey Magee claims, someone else was mur- dered over on the Goldcrest prop- erty, it looks as if the Raider is at work." Jensen patted his revolver hol- ster grimly.

Jensen escort- ed him to the door, saw him safe- ly inside and returned to the car. Both Norris and Pettengill lived on the Eldorado property just outside Balsam Ridge. | They left the main road and sped up the driveway to Pettengill's home. He bade them a hasty good-night and sped across the few yards of gravel between the driveway and the front door as if' he fully expected that the Raider would be lurking in the shadows, and ducked into the housenys rains ak | ee ?

"All very well for you t, brave about it," growled Norris, as he backed the car around and drove back toward the main road again <a Ne ~"Your name isn't on the list." "For which," murmured Jensen "T am very thankfull." They reached the main road again and sped past the twinkl- ing lights of the Eldorado mill, past the little office where the watchman had met his death at the time of the Raider's visit, and then the car slowly began its as- cent of the steep declivity lead- ing to the manager's residence. It was built at the summit of the hill, overlooking the mine prop~ erty and the villase helow. "Poor cld Lawson," Norris. "I suppose it wasn't right of us to clear out in such a hurry, but damn it all___ under the circumstances___" Jensen shrugged. "You couldn't help him by remaining," a9 "I don't envy Grant, staying alone there with Lawson. Why the Raider could step in and shoot him down in a second." "Tf it comes to shooting, Grant will have an even break, I think. He's pretty quick on the draw." Suddenly, Norris stiffened. His hands gripped the wheel as though frozen. He was staring into the little mirror, an expres- 'sion of ghastly fear on his pallid face. ; "Jensen!" he croaked. "Behind =e LOOkA SEP. : His words were drowned by the crash of a revolver. Jensen whirled about. His hand flew to the butt of his own weapon. The big touring car was run- ning with the top down. In the semi-darkness Jensen caught. a glimpse of the head and should- ers of a hooded figure rising a- bove the back of the automobile. An arm was extended. A roaring revolver spat flame. Jensen rose halfway to his feet, his revolver half out of the holster. He did not see Norris slump dead over the wheel. He only knew that the car suddenly swerved, that the hooded figure vanished abruptly.

He saw a burst of flame, heard an explosion as the gas tank blew up. The car became a roaring mass of wreck- age. He stumbled to his feet, still groggy, blundered out of ' the bushes toward the road. He caught a glimpse of a fleeing fig- ure in the gloom and fired. There was an answering shot and he flung himself flat in the roadway emptying his revolver after the fugitive. | But the hooded man _ sprang across the opposite ditch and vanished into the darkness of the trees. Jensen scrambled to his feet, stumbled in pursuit. But when the crossed the road and entered [the bush he realized that search would be futile: He remembered Norris then ran back to the car. The lurid flames rose high from the wrecked car, casting a ruddy illumination upon the wall of trees beyond the ditch. He could see a huddled body sprawl- ed beneath the mass. Flames seared him as he shielded his Leyes with his arm and dashed in. The heat was terrific. He was forced back. In the light of the fire he saw that*Norris was beyond help.
