I i SPECIAL NOTICE. [ To our Patrons -who have followed [ the House of Hate from week to , week and were prevented from seeI ing the last chapter by the action of , tjie Board of Health, we print below , a synopsis of the last episode. ' , L Pearl and Gresham stand in the . sitting room of the Waldon home I watching for the Hooded Terror to <enter at the secret doorway. t Presently the door opens and as l the Terror stealthily creeps through, . Gresham fires and kills him. When t \his mask is removed he proves to be { the brother of Haynes Waldon, whom i Haynes told of just before his death] j j in last week's episode. J ' NoW that the Hooded Terrbr is } dead, pea^e and'happiness reigns at I Waldonclift and <juite naturally Pearl L and Gresham are married.' After } the /honeymoon Gresham eVters a , training camp and is commissioned r as Captain) but before he goes across he goes back to the underworld f friends of the Hooded Terror and , makes all of them enlist in the ser( vices of Uncle Sam. } The next scene shows Gresharm at . the head of his company chasing the I Germans back across the Rhine. A . shell bursts and he is wounded. A, 5 - j I Red Cross ambulance rushes up?the ) driver jumps out, goes to Gresham's I side, takes his head in her lap, cons sciousness returns, he opens his eyes ! ?Sure it is Pearl who is in the motor transport service.
