that ahe did not want any lunch. She
only wanted to got home and have a
good cry. ( ' '
But &Uo waa not permitted to enjoy
tbla luxury, for at the transfer corner
ahe ran Into a party of her old acbool
chuma. The aolltalre told Ita own atory,
and Neil waa carried off to a fashiona

She led the way to a table at tho
other aide of tho room that ahe might
not be compelled to recognliso blm, but
the precaution apporently waa need
less. When the girls were leaving the
place, Vance' and his guest were still
absorbed In each other, Vance waa
drinking ooltyo, and tlso girl waa con
fuming highly colored cordials, Nell

The luncheon had bwu an ordeal for
her. She wished that she bad 6ll;ud
off the ring when tho first Impulse
came to her to do so, Then she would
have been aavsd the .humiliation of ac
' ceptlng apolebratloD lunch at which
ahe aat and planned the letter which
ahe Bhould writs' to accompany the
ring. 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. She
wanted to taunt him with bla choice

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.
