Ue Soctelfyafes Story No. 4 A WAR OF WITS Plot by Gvorge B ronton Howard. Novolization by Hugh C. Weir. Copyright Kalem Company. (Continued from Yralrrdar.) "Why—ha Is using hyoaclna, of course—and I suppose you know that that's about the same thing as sco folamine —if you know what THAT Is! f you don't, I'll tell you—it's a nar cotic, hypnotic drug. When you've had an injection of it you're not un conaclous, as you are with ether or even morphine. You're Just sort of— oh. dopey. You're not conscious of pain, but you can talk and move. And —you don't remember anything when It stops working in your system!" "Oh!" said Mary, with a deep long breath. "That is clever, Xtona! But we might have known it would have to be something clever!" "It seems she's sot a special check book—or, at least, an extra one—with her. He auspected that, and when he had her under the influence of the drug he made her get it out. Then he had her hide it in a new place— which she would only remember when she had taken the drug! Do you see?" "She'd notice the missing checks, you mean, if she saw the book when she was herself?" '*of course! And, as It Is, she does not see them She won't find out un til she gets her next statement from her bank! Oh, It's wonderful—from his point of view. Tou see—she's Just slven him the checks. He can say they were for his professional services, and I don't see what she can answer to that! He does help her— naturally. No wonder she's free from pain most of the time!" Well—l'm not sorrv for her," cried Mary Ironically. "The things I've heard about her—the mean things she's done! And, as for the man, of course, he's a crook—and It's better for us to have some of the money than to let him keep It. It seems to me our mora; position is unassailable, llona." "I'm glad of that," said Mona dryly. "Because we couldn't think of taking the money if it wasn't, of course!" "TVe haven't got It yet," said Mary with a laugh. "And I don't care— but It does make me feel better to know that we're not doing anything really wrong when we bring off these coups of ours!" "Oh. I know—l feel like that, too." 6aid Mona. "And I don't think we're hypocrites, either. Just how do you expect to go about this? Tou ought to .know more than I do about the doc tor. I haven't had much chance to study him." "I've only really." said Mary. "But I know he spends a lot of time In the Casino. There's a hint there if I can work out some way of following It up. Tou'd better go back—l'm going to make friends with Dr. Hy oscine. I think he'll be here soon, and we mustn't be seen together." Dr. Hyoscine did call that evening, as Mary anticipated, and was glad to find her much improved in health. He saw in her, of course, the woman she pretended to be—not the social buc caneer she actually was. To him she appeared to be a young and attrac tive woman—a widow, he guessed, or, at worst, divorced. Her means were plentiful, he supposed, or she would not be at Yellow Springs. He quite forgot that he himself was here as an adventure; or. If he did not forget, he did not reflect that her errand might be like his own. And so he waß glad to find that she seemed ready to welcome bis atten- He was not thinking of mar —that, he felt, could not be con sidered until he knew about her means. Kut he was entirely willing to make discreet love to her, if she en couraged him, being careful to leave himself a loophole of escape if she proved financially ineligible. That was enough of a foundation for Mary to build upon In a few she and Dr. Hyoscine were on terms that approached Intimacy, and he was a frequent and welcome caller In her rooms—her supposed illness be ing excuse enough. Mary, of course, studied him attentively. And she soon decided that the man's great weak ness was his love of gambling; that It was upon this side that he might be most easily approached. Mona and the Doctor Visit the Casino. Frequently he was her escort in the Casino. Mary herself did not play. "Oh. I have no scruples against gambling!" she said. "It's this pub lic play that I don't care for. And— must I confess it? I have a vulgar fondness for poker, of all games! Of course I couldn't play that here! Some time, though. perhaps, we could have a game in my room—and I'll show you that I'm a good sport!" Hyoscine smiled. He thought he knew the sort of poker a woman would want to play! However, he would he wi!ling to endure even a potticoat game for the sake of her company. He had walked pretty far into .Mary's trap. *his wily doctor who had proved too clever for Letty Mc- Lean herself! Mary had seen that she must have he!n. And she was not surprised when, a day or so after her talk about poker with Hyoseine. a bored young man bowed to her on the terrace. She knew him as Marty MoMurtha. whose .ipccialty was the impersonation of a youn? man of wealth. "Ah—Mr Winthrop. Isn't It?" «h« said, "Doctor—you must meet Mr Winthrop—John Hyde Winthrop, 3d, of Boston! He and I are always meet ine at places like this!" "Oh. one does, you know," said Winthrop. Nice place, this—healthy, too, eh. doctor?" Dr. Hyoseine scowled a little. Winthrop did a ijood deal to remove any faint and lingering doubts he had etill cherished concerning Mary. The man was Irreproachable; he was dressed in the latest fashion. Speech, manner, appearance, all proclaimed the man of good family the rarlfled, su perior Bostonian. Moreover, it was quite plain that he saw in Mary a most attractive woman, and that «he was by no means Indifferent to nor displeased by his interest in her. Dr. Hyoseine saw a rival—and naturally bis own Interest in Mary increased at •nee. This was one of the effects that Ifarv had sought to produce by bring- Ttig McMurtha down, and she was not slow to take ad v antag» of it. She knew very well the remarkable poten cy of jealousy in enchanefng one's at tractions. And for the next day or two t)r.
