Two young ladlre rntered a rallwsy

men began to wor4btr Bugrre in Ibe

idity with which tbe talked with tbl
handa tbat tbey could neither boar nor
speak. ''
-luj't it a plty.3racer said one of
tbe glrU to tbe other, "that those
young men are deaf mutes f
"And so handsome. tooL
Tbe words were spoken In too low a
tone for their b-a la to bear, even If
tbey bad been endowed with, bearing.
for tbe glrla could not quite feel sure
of their condition. As tbe train . got
ander way. msklng more and more of
rattle, the girls gained confidence
and raised their Tok-e-. Blnce no heed
waa pakl to them by tne young nten.
no matter what tbey said, tbey Dually
became used to apeaklog la tbelr natu
rat voices.
Isn't it funny. Belle." said Grace,
to be talking aboe I people before their
facoe and tbey not, being able to near
word?" ,
Tbere'a a fascination about 1C re
plied tbe other. Po you know. I am
possessed With a desire to say some
thing I wouldn't bare them bear, for
tbe unlrerseT
-Why sor '
"On. on account of tbe novelty of tbe
thing. IHdu't you ever say all sorts of
things to soms deaf person f
Yes, Indeed. My aunt Margaret U

"Which do yon think the handsomer

"lie hasat a muatarbe. Ton know
what, they say about kissing a man
without a mustache tike eating an
egg without salt"
"1 wouldn't mlad a kiss from biro
even If be has no mustache."
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. "I pre
fer the one with that soft black beard.

grown la very nernming to a young
man."
Why don't yon tell blm no kud

"V eil. Mr. Man. your black board is

1--u tbe girls looked at each other
ano laughed. 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. It seems aa tf tbey ought to
bear ns, even If tbey don't"
"Do you suppose If tbey bad beard
wbat we bsd ssld about tbem tbey
could help showing It?"
"Of coorse not"
?Weli, then, whst are you afraid of r
"I'm not afraid. Toung gentlemen,
we are very much pleased with your
appearance. We lire at 84 North
Adams street We would be very glsd
to hare yoq call upon ua this evening."
She ssld all this looking straight at
her friend.' Tbe young men's flngere
were going like lightning. Tbey seemed
to bsve found a new subject of mutual
Interest
What would be tbe use of their
coming to see us?" said Belle. "Tbey
couldn't Ulk to us nor we to tbem."
"Perhaps tbey tarry slates to write
meaasgen on."
When the train stopped at tbe sution

young men ssld to the other la a sono

tUt her eon waa toning Ibe family for

time when she was la New. Tech sort

Uk. calls b money had been more and
more frequent, and with every rail tbe
amounts grew larger.
Ilia morber did at know enougn
bout tbe lay of the land in Ibe Itlvtera
to feel worried about her son. but I
feared thai If he stuck lo tbe gaming
Ublee long enough be might rule him
self and ber loo. 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 m telling him
tbst It wss. be Informed me that I wss
wsntsd at tbe telephoned wo there
snd 00 tsklng tbe reCelrsr brsrd tbs
well known voice of Also Meredith.
"Is that yon, ; Frank?"
-Yes.
"I'm glad you csme down. Take a
napoleon to tbe table put It on tbe red
and Were It there till yon get word
from me ts Uke It off."
'I'll do ne socb thing. 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! Was
aot tbe whole matter a dreamt f went
back to my hotel aad called on tbe
proprietor to sbow me the gold I bad
won. lie opened tbe safe, and there
