He nodded fcnd returned lo his revol vers, while I went out of the shop, j hailed a cab. and drove up town to my apartments in Riverside. It waj eight o'clock by my watch. I leaned 1 back against the cushions, ruminating. | There seemed to be somei hlnc go!- on that night; the ten of hearis | acquiring a mystifying, not to say sin ister aspect. First it had alarmed tha girl in Mouquin's, and now thi» stranger in the curio-abop. I was con fident that the latter had lied in re- j gard to his explanations. The curd had Btartled him. but Ms reasons were altogether of transparent thinness. A man never likes to confess that he Is unlucky at cards; there is a certain ! pride in lying about the enormous j stakes you have won and the wonder ful draws you hfive made. 1 frowned, j It was not possible for me to figure out what his interest In the card was. If he was a westerner, his buying a i pistol in a pawnshop was at once dia ■ robed of its mystery: but the Incon sistent elegance of his evening clothes | doubled my suspicions. Bah! What 1 was the use of troubling myself with this stranger's affairs? He would never ' ' cross my path again. In reasonable time the cab drew up in front of my apartments. 1 dressed, ! donned my Capuchin s robe and took i a look at myself in the pier glass, i Then I unwrapped the package and ( put on the mask. The whole made a ; capital outfit ard I was vastly pleased with myself. This was going to he i such an adventure as one reads abo'it j In the ancient numbers of Black wood's I slipped the robe and inns'* | into my suitcase and lighted my pipe. ] During great moments like this, a j man gathers couruge and confidence | from a pipeful of tobacco. I dropped | into a comfortable Morris, touched ihe 1 gas logs, and fell into a pleasant j dream. It was not necessary for me to start for the Twenty-third street | ferry till nine; so I had something j like three-quarters of an hour to idle away. . What beautiful hair j that girl had! It was like suns'iiaa, j the silk of corn, the yield cf the bar- j ! vest. And the marvelous abundance of it! It was true that she was an j artiit's model; it was equally true j ; that she had committed a mild impro priety in addressing m* ar she hail; ; but, for all I could see. she was a girl of delicate breeding, doubtless one of the many whose family fortunes, or ; misfortunes, forced them to earn a 11 v- ! ing. And it is uo disgrace these d«ys ! I . / , to pose as an artist's model 'l ee i j classic oils, nowadays, call only for ex quisite creations in gowns and hats; i I mythology was exhausted by the old masters.

How- , i ever, her uncle had been with her; ■ a veritable fortress, had 1 overstepped the bounds of politeness. The smoke wavered and rolled about me. 1 took out the ten of hearts and studied it musingly. After all, should 1 go? Would it be wise? I confess I saw goblins' heads peering from the spots, and old Poe ktories re turned to me. Pshaw! It was only a j frolic, no serious barm could possibly ] I come of it. I would certainly go, now I had gone thus far. What fool Idea the girl WBB bent on I hadn't the least j Idea; but I easily recognized the folly j upon which I was about to set sail, j Heigh-ho!

In that event, Teddy [ Hamilton would come to my assist ance. . She was really beau- ' tiful! And then I awoke to the alarm ing fact that the girl in Mouquin's 1 was interesting me more than I liked to confess. Presently, through the hate of amoke, I saw a patch of white paper on the rug in front of the pier glass I arose and picked It up. fvAwn Hawthorne C.OSTTTM* Slue Domino I TTM» S-.JQ P- M.

Old Frlard had accidentally done up the ticket with my mask. A Blue Domino; evi dently 1 wasn't the only person who was going to a masquerade. Without doubt this tair domoiselle was about to join the festivities of some shop girl's masquerade, where money and pedigree are Inconsequent things, and where everybody is either a "loldy" or a "gent." Persons who went to my kind of masquerade did ntot rent their costumes: Ihey laid out extravagant sums to the fashionable modiste and tailor, and had them made to order. A Blue Domino: humph! It was too late to take the ticket back to Frlard s; so I determined to mail It to him in the morning. It wan now high time for me to be off. 1 got Into my coat and took down my opera hat. Outside the storm was st.ilJ active: but the snow had a prom ising softness, and there were patches of stars to he seen here and there in the sky. By midnight there would be a full moon. I got to Jersey City without mishap; and when I took my seat in the smoker, I found I had ten mintues to spare. J bought a news paper and settled down to read the day's news. It was fully half an hour between Jersey City and Blankshlre; in that time I could begin and finish the paper. t There never was a newspaper those days that hadn't a war map in some one of Its columns; and when I had digested the latest phases of the war in the far east, I quite naturally turned to the sporting page to learn what was going on among the other professional fighters. (Have I men tioned to you the fact that I was all through the Spanish war, the mix-up in China, and that t had resigned my rommission to acept the post of trav eling salesman for a famous motor car company? If I have not, pardon me. You will now readily accept niv reck lessness of spirit as a matter of course.) I turned over another page; from this I learned that the fair sex was going back to puff-sleeves again. Many an old sleeve was going to be turned upside down. Fudge! The train was rattling through Cae yards. Another page crackled Ha! Here was that un known gentleman-thief again, up to his old tricks. It is remarkable how difficult it is to catch a thief who has ftood looks and shrewd brains T had already written him down as a quasi swell. For months the police had heen finding: cities, but they had never laid eyes on the rascal. The famous Haggerty of the New York detective fwrco, —ft man whom not. a dozen New York policemen know by sight and no criminals save these behind bars, earthly and eternal. —was now giving his whole attention to the affair. Some gaily dressed lady at a ball would suddenly find she had lost some valuable gems: and that would be the end of the affair, for none ever re covered her gems. The gentleman-thief was still at large, and had gathered to hlt< ac count a comfortable fortune: that is. If he were not already rich and simply a kleptomaniac. No doubt he owned one of my racing cars, and was clear of the delinquent lists at his clubs. T dismissed all thought of him, threw aside the paper, and mentally figured out my commissions on sales during the past month. If was a handsome figure, large enough for two. This pastime, too. soon failed to interest me I gazed out of the window and watched the dark shapes as they sped past. 1 saw the girl's face from time to time. What a fool I had been not to ask her name! She could easily have refused, aud yet as easily have grant- Ed the request. At any rate. 1 had porrailted the chance to slip out of my reach, which was exceedingly carete«s on my part. Perhaps they— she atid her uncle —frequently dined at Mouquin's; J determined to haunt the place and learn. It would be easy enough to address h-sr the next time we met. Besides, she would be curious to know all about the ten of hearts and the desperate adventure upon which 1 told her I was a'«out to embark. Many a fine friendship has grown out of smaller things. Next, turning from the window, I fell to examining my fellow passen gers, in the hope of seeing some one I knew. Conversation on trains makes short journeys . . . 1 sat up stiffly In my seat. Diagonally across the aisle sat the very chap I had met In the curio-shop! He was quietly reading * popular magazine, and oc casionally a smile lightened his sar donic mouth. Funny that I should run across him twice in the same evening! Men who are contemplating suicide never smile in that fashion. He was Bmoking a small, well-colored meerschaum pipe with evident relish. Somehow, when a man clenchet his teeth upon the mouthpiece of a re spectable pipe, it seems impossible to associate that man with crime. But the fact that I had seen him selecting a pistol in a pawnshop rather neutral ized the good opinion I was willing to form. I have already expressed my views upon the subject. The sight of him rather worried me, though I could not reason why. Whither was he bound? Had he finally taken one of Friard's pistols? For a moment I was on the point of speaking to him. If only to hear him tell more lies about the ten of hearts, but I wisely put aside the temptation. Besides, it might be possible that he would not be glad to. see me. I always avoid the chance acquaintance, unless, of course, the said chance acquaintance is met under favorable circumstances —like the girl In Mouquin's, for in stance!

Once he leaned over and spoke to my chance acquaintance, who, without | turning his head, thrust a match over ! his shoulder. The man with the face of a butler lighted the most villainous pipe I ever beheld. I wondered If they knew each other. But, closely as I watched, I saw no sign from either.

A horrible supposition came to j me: supposing they looked at the ! back as well as at the face of the j card? And again, supposing I was \ miles away from the requisite color i and design?

Cohan * Did you ever sit and ponder, sit and wonder, sit and think, Why we're liere and what this life is all about? It's a problem that has driven many brainy men to drink; It's the weirdest thing they've tried to figure out, About a thousand different theories all the scientists can show, Hut never have proved a reason why With all we've thought and all we've taught. Why all we seem to know is we're born and live awhile and then we die. Life's a very funny proposition, after all, Imagination, jealousy, b.vprocrisy and gall: Three ineals a day, a whole lot to say; When you haven't got the coin you're always in the war. Everybody's fighting as we wend our way along, Ev'ry fellow claims the other fellow's in the wrong; Hurried and worried until we're buried and there's no curtain call; Life's a very funny proposition after all. When all things are coming easy and when luck is with a man, Why then life to him is sunshine ev'rywhere. Then the fates blow rather breezy and they quite upsot. a plan; Then he'll cry that life's a burden hard to bear. Though to day may be a day of smiles, to morrow's still in doubt, And what briugs me joy may bring you care and woe; We're born to die, but don't know why, Or what it's all about, and the more we try to learn these things the less we know. Life's a very funny proposition, you can bet, And no one's ever solved the problem properly as set; Young for a day, then old and gray, hike the rose that buds and blooms and fades and falls away. Losing health to gain our wealth as thro' this dream we tour. Everything's a guess and nothing absolutely sure; Hattle's exciting and fates we're lighting until the curtain's fall. Life's a very funny proposition after all. ' Cumberland Valley Railroad In Effect May 24, ISI4. Train* Lent HnrrUliur* — For Winchester antl Martinsburg. at S.US, *7.30 a. m.. *3.40 p. iu.
