At tbat moment tbe two young men ceased their silent ceeamunk stkm. and tbe one with blue eyea, light hair and no mustache looked through tbe win dow. Ills companion was seised with a slight coughing snd put bis bandker chief to his mouth. But 'in a few minutes tbey were wriggling their fin gers sgaln. - r "For my part." ssld Grace.

It was great fun to be Dk to Ulk this way to two nice look ing young men who couldn't bear a word tbey were saying. Nor could tbey help looking at the anbjerU of their remarks to note tbe absolutely unconscious look on tbelr feces. Then tbe conductor csme around to Uke np tickets, and tbe glrla ssw tbat tbe young men's were for tbe same station as their own. When tbe conductor bad passed Grace said to Belle: "IIow would It do to ask tbem to coma snd see us tonight?" "You csn ask tbem what you like. It won't mske any difference. Indeed, you might screech In their ears and tbey wouldn't bear you." "Well, then. I'm going to do It Just for fun." "Don't" "Why notr "Ob.

I came ! a sudden resolution to go down there, bnd IX I found. Alan playing 1 would eterclse my Influence with blm lo get blm away. o tne oeit nay ws for tbe prtnclllty of Monaco. I arrived at my hotel In 11 roe siy for dinner, so Instead of searching for Alan at hla abiding place I. concluded to go where. In case he-wee at Moate Carlo, 1 would be sure to find ajm- tbe -gtrmbllng . tH"vtmn, .Tbere were not many people about tbe tables, and tbe place looked lonely It struct we that those connected wltb the eatsb- I Unmeet wore a look of gkwnt. But soon people began to errHe. the gsnte waa opened and alienee gave way 10 tbe bum. of tbe buy vnee about tbe table. ' I was wstrhlng to see If Alan would corns In wnen n serrsni sari me 11 my name wss Butler.

I came down knowing that you must bo bare, and I propose to take yen to Parts with me tomorrow." I lUtened for a reply, but I called, but atm-ao-ann bad doubfleea shut me off. I waited for awhile, thinking I would be rung np again; but anally got tired and went awsy. I waa disgruntled at not baring got Alan'a hotel sddreaav-fur , there wss now nothing for me to do but bnnt him up. Aa 1 passed out I cast a glance Into tbe gambling room, nod 1 was eurkms to know what would be tbe result If I carried out Alan's instructions. 1 thought that be might accuse me of preventing bis winning some money If I felled to do as be bsd aaksd. It would take me but a few minutes to lose a napoleon, and when 1 saw him again I could then tell blm tbat I bad done bis bidding. r . I went Into tbe gambling room, el bowed my wsy to a table and laid a napoleon on tbe red.- I won. I left It there and It won again. 1 hare forgot ten bow many times in succession 1 won. but there waa a beep of gold on tbe table for me when a servant came and whispered la my ear tbst Mr. Meredith bsd telephoned I was to Uke tbe money off tbe red and make a dif ferent bet wltb the whole amount I don't know what It waa tbat In duced me to Uy this order. I detest ed gambling, yet on this occaalon I waa worked to a freniy. I got sev eral orders from Alan during tbe even ing all by telephone, and somehow I felt tbst I would keep on winning. And so I did tll I broke the bank. I scooped my winnings Into a light overcoat I bad brought with me aad. ttelng my handkerchief about tbe gathered corners, set off for my hotel. It'ls a wonder how I got there with out being roMed. bat I did. Placing my winnings In tbe hotel safe. I asked tbe concierge to telephone to tbe other hotels to ask at which one of them Alan Meredith was staying. "Meredltbr' be said. "Isn't tbst tbe name of the American wbo committed suicide In hi room this morning r My heart stood still. "Did an American of that name Uke bla life. today here?" I asksd. horror stricken. "Yes. . m'sleur. He lost heavily last nigbt and tbU morning was found in bis room with a bullet In bis brain." It was soms time before ! waa able to go further. When I bad regained something of my equanimity I went to tbe hotel, where I was Informed tbe suicide bad taken place and learned, true enough, tbat my cbum. Alan Mere dith, bad Uken bla own life. But tbe horror of tbe occurrence waa intensified by the fact tbat I bad been playing, or believed 1 had been play ing, under tbe Instructions of'desd maa. Had I been 00 playing!
