Aa It w as, the lunch bad broken her nerves completely, mid. hurrying : home, ahe wrote the fateful letter, then mk to her bed. She was crying her bourt out In comfortable feminine fash ion when her mother oponed tho door. "Vance la downstairs and wants to aeo you," she snld gently, "I told him that you were lit, but he Insisted on aoelng you Just n moment" . "I'll see him," said Noll, with sud den determination. "Tell hlra I will bo right down." . She sprang from the tied and began to drees. While ljiog there she had thought of many things to say that were even more bitter than tho things ahe had said In the letter, and In her present mood she wanted to hurt him us ninch as 'he had hurt her.

Tha Way,tha PoBcs Descend Upon Them In a Raid. SKILL, CUNNING. AND DAM. Absolute Seereey Is Maintained by the Official) and the Pelieemtt Are Kept In the Dark Until the Last ' Moment Getting Into the Club. The police have recently carried out aoma sensational raid on big gnming cluba, and It may be Interesting to learn bow' these raids are effected. Tbla la bow it la done in London: Aa oon aa the detective auspicious bare been conflrmod they apply to the com missioner of police for a warrant to ester, . The warrant authorizes certain officers mentioned1 by nnme to enter the club In the same of the king. Or dinary polkemeo are not permitted to carry out a' raid,' but tbe ' detoctlvea can call opon then) for aaslatnnca at the critical moment,,, . , , ; Absol ute secrecy la enforced right up to the moment of entry. There la no excitement at tbe station on that diy, and the men oo duty hare no sus picion of what la in tha wind. Plana of tbe bouse are drawn and carefully studied by the raiding officers, for the doorkeeper of the club la prepared at tbe slightest alarm to send a warning to his customera, and every veatlKe of gambling apparatus1 will mysteriously disappear and tho raid fall. A careful ly planned ruse, therefore, baa to be evolved which will disarm ausplclon. During tbe day a body of "reserve" policemen will receive a communica tion from the station that they will be required to parade at a certain hour, and they meet with no idea of what la expected of them. They are drawn up in line, and after names bare been called over tbey are dismissed fro.ni the station one by one, with tbe in junction to be In the Immediate neigh borhood of a certain street in a conple of hours and not to get near tbe spot before the prearranged moment : , The first officer to appear on tbe scene la the one in charge of tbe raid. He la alwaya disguised, and usually looks like a well dressed man about town, ne pasaea the club carelessly, but It la sufficient for blm to learn from a confederate inalde that gaming baa commenced. A policeman then saunters to the corner of the street and ataya there as though be were on "point" duty. Then, not till then, la the Information of the precise club' to be raided aecretly conveyed to tbe at tacking ' force ' in fbetr hiding ' place while the club, unconscious of ita Im pending fate, pursues its gambling. , The first difficulty to aurmount la to get past the burly doorkeeper. If this la not successfully done tbe raid will end in failure. Presently tbe sound of a drunken song la heard lfl the dis tance, and two apparently rough look ing men come staggering along. Aa tbey near the entrance to the club they begin disputing and soon come ( to blows. Tbe doorkeeper peepa through the wicket and orders the men away. One of the men rushes at the wicket and challenges the doorkeeper to "come outside like a man" and at tbe same time shouts out something about the character of the house. Tbe combat- ante continue fighting, and tbe officer at the corner cornea along and orders tbem away. Tho men return, however, to "have It out with the doorkeeper." Tbe noise Increases, attracting home ward bound , gentlemen in i evening dresB, who gather round and urge the men on. . , . . , The doorkeeper by this time becomes alarmed, for tho rowdy crowd will frighten away bla cllenta. Perbapa Just at thla moment a member of the club arrives and seeks admission. Tbe door Is opened with tbe utmost caution to admit blm. Before be tins time to fasten u tbe two officers hastily secure the member and rush upstairs, Tbe two combatants were disguised police men and the onlookers detectives. As soon aa an entrance Into the club has been effected the constable at the corner sounds his whistle, and before the sound has died away the whole neighborhood Is alive with police. If tho house boasts of a trapdoor on tbe roof, the Sash of lanterns will be seen up there, the men having been con cealed among the chimney pots since It was dark. The front door Is secured, and tbe police form a guard around the house, so that escape is Impossible. Monntlme the scene upstairs la one of the wildest exx-ltement The gam blers, Intent on business, bad not no ticed the scuttle In tbe passage, and the first Intimation they got of tho state of affairs Is when the door Is thrown open and tho officer in charge calls on them to regard themselves as his prisoners. Then they realize their position. The tables are overturned, and card counters And money roll all over the floor as (be members endeavor to escape. They make for the street door, but, balked In this direction,' hur ry to all parts of the house to hide. V The crestfallen members of the club are conveyed to tho station, each In the custody of two officers. Then the house Is searched for tho gaming ap paratus. Every Inch of the place Is examined, for gnmblors have remark able contrivances whereby they can hide their npparatus In the event of being raided. Tops of tables are knock ed off, flooring taken up and walls searched for secret cupboards. Yards of ' chalked string . are regarded as prizes, and with these and more appar ent proofs the case Is ready for the mnjrlstrnte. Tho evidence Is laid be fore him, and the proprietor and mem bers nre rhnrped and the sentence nnsed or a henry fine Imposed on the tirioners,-Londoh Tlt-Blts. y X..
