He would give a great deal to spend a night In the Wine Press! Much might come of It or nothing might come of It but it held untold possibilities There was Buck himself for instance After what had bap pened In the last few hours O'Mara was almost certain to communicate with the Mask tonight Would It be from here? The night might answer those and others If only he could stay here! And there was at least a possible way whereby be might succeed In doing so He meant to try it how anyway It was too big a chance to lose If the ruse worked It worked If It failed ha lost nothing for cer tainly now with the event et the early part of the night to endorse him Cfarkle Lunn weuld hardly be suspected of gullet His arm had been bleeding a little again on the ride In He had felt the blood soaking through the bas dage but it bad not run down on his band Buck O'Mara had not noticed and be Cetin had said nothing about IL It would take very little tn start the blood flowing as profusely as ever it would look infinitely worse than it really was A light wont on Buck was mounting a flight of stairs whose rather shabby carpet Colin noted was strictly in keeping with the Bar neys floor coverings downstair "Come O'Mara called over shoulder said Colin and gripping nfs coat sleeve wrenched at the ban dage underneath He felt the ban dage and by the time ha had mounted three or tour more steps a trickle of blood upon hla hand He kept bls hand behind his back It would not look serious enough yet The waterfront at Jensen pre sented a scene of destruction to day Ernest Ricou's big fish house and pier is just a mass of wreckage on the shore line A fish house owned by William redricksen is sitting in the In dian river The end of Jensen city dock is gone pier Is practically demolished And so warped was the draw at Jensen bridge after the storm that motorists now are only al lowed to proceed over it at their own risk The garage and fern sheds of Johnson just outside the town were demolished The Australian pine hedge bordering the Dixie highway at the south entrance was washed out by heavy seas and the trees are lying across the making it necessary over the sidewalk ana some of it of newer but cheat construction undoubted ly the parsimonious handiwork of old Keppelsteln whan he had made' the building Into two At the far end of the hall was am other stairway the one of course that led to the quarters be low and that he had seen when he had comp In through the tobacco store Nothing else?
