THE TOSS OF A COD?. HILLAKD made an inexcusably careless shot. Be grounded his cue and stood back from the tnble. That was the way ev erything seemed to go at tennis,, at squash, at fencing, at billiards, it was all the same. "I say. Jack, what's the matter with you anyhow?' asked Merribew, oot, of patience. "It was bad," Hillard agreed. "Per- hona T am nnt -i 1.- ! Ti r. Infa.attt In the game that I formerly took." I "And wheu I make a proposition," pursued Merribew, "to ride to the Cat skills and back, something yon would have Jumped at a year ago, you shake your head. Think of it'. By George, you bad a bully time last year! You swore It was the best trip we ever took on the horses. Where's your spirit of adventure?" "I'm sure I don't know where It is. Shall we finish the gome?" "Not If you're goiinf to throw it like this," declared Merrihew. "Ten and a string against your half a string," said Hillard, studying the score. "I'll bet a bottle that I beat you." "Doner said Merrihew. Being on his mettle, be made a clean score of twenty, five to go. "I can see you pay ing for that check. Jack." But the odds tingled Hillard's blood. He settled doivn to a brilliant play and turned sixty-one In beautiful form. Later the two passed upstairs to the secluded alcove. Merrihew filled the glasses with the air of one who would like to pass the remainder of his days doing the same thing not that he was overfond, but each bottle temporarily weeded out that crop of Imperishable debts. To him the world grew roseate and kindly viewed through the press of the sparkling grape, and Invariably he saw fortune beckoning to the card tables. "Now, then, Jack. I've got you where I want you. Who Is she?" "On my word, I don't know." "Then there Is a woman!" cried Mer rihew. "I knew It. Nothing else would so demoralize you. Drink a health to her." Hillard raised bis glass and touched that of his comrade. For the peace of bis mind he determined to tell Merri hew the whole adventure. "To the lady in the fog!" be said. "Fog?" blankly. "Well, the lady in the mask." "Fog, mask? Two of them?" "No, only one. Once I met her In the ttog, and then I met her in the mask." "I'll drink to her. but I'm hanged if I don't believe you're coddling me," said Merrihew disappointedly. "This is New York." "The whole story, Jack, details and all; no half portions." Hillard told the yarn simply, omit ting nothing essential. He even added that for tbree weeks he bad been the author of the personal Inquiry as to the .whereabouts of one Mme. Angot. "I don't know, Dan. but this has taken so strong a hold on me that I shan't forget it soon. Imagine It your self. Ob, but she could sing! I am a ' man not to be-held In the leash of an adventure like this, but she held me. How? By the hope that one day I might gee. hex face with, no Tell oi Lure of the Mask By HAROLD MAC GRATH 4ft Copyright. 1908. by IK Bobbt- i Merrill Co. mystery to hold her off at arm's length." Merrihew was greatly excited. He was for ordering a second bottle, but Hillard stayed blm. "By George! And you are sure that it was at the SandfordsT "I am positive. But there is a puzile that I have failed to solve Sandford's cable and the caretaker's declaration. I know' that I was in that house. The patrolman says that be baa seen no light in the bouse since the family sailed for Africa. It Is no dream, but it begins to look as if I were the vic tim of some fine hoax." "It is more than a hoax. In my opin ion. Walt till Sandford returns and finds his silver gone." Hillard started. "And his gold plate." continued Mer rihew, pleased with the Idea. "My boy, that's what It Is the best dodge I ever beard of. It will make a good story for the Sunday papers. You won't be In It unless she ropes you in as an accomplice." "I'm a romantic ass!" Hillard sighed. Leddy Llghtfinger! If this turned out to be the case be would never trust a human being again. "Let's take that ride on the horses,", Merrihew nrged. "That'll clear your brain of this sentimental fog." "No!" Hillard struck his bands to gether. "I've a better Idea than that I shall go to Italy, and you shall go with me." "Impossible. Why, I'm all but broke." "I'll take you as a companion. I'm a sick man, Dan. I'm likely to Jump overboard if some one isn't watching me every minute." "I'd like to go. Jack. Heaven and earth, bnt I should! But I can't possi bly go to Italy with a letter of credit no more than twenty-five hundred, and that's all there Is in the exchequer at present." "Between such friends as we are" "That racket won't work. I could not take a moment's peace if I did not fjel Independent." "But I'm not going to give It to you." Hillard protested. "I am going to lend It 1:0 you." ''And could I ever pay you back if I accepted the loan?" humorously. "There's Monte Carlo. You might pnll down a tidy sum," said the tempt er. "That's the way, you beggar. Hit me on the soft side." But Merrihew was still obdurate. "Now. listen to reason, Dan. If you wait for the opportunity to go to Eu rope you'll wnit in vain. You must make the opportunity. One must have youth to enjoy Italy thoroughly. The desire to go becomes less and less as one grows older. Besides. It completes every mnn's education. I'll put the A tear ran from hit check to hi chin, proposition in a way you can't possibly get round. You will always bave tbat thousand, go djjn.'t worry about Jhat.
