animation Of the case the court held that

the defendants and they were turned over
to the state courts and we're taken to Lin

or more and then given their freedom.

erty in the county where the crime was com
mitted to pay e-half OF the expense Of

leading facts in the case. A few evenings

temporary abatement of his troubles.

Mason first met sweet-faced little 5AlYa
Porter. The girl, like her brother, be-

had given her promise to Mason that she
would become his wife.

There is a secret in Arthur Mason's
plunging that few know. He IS playing
for love and honor. The task he has
set himself is the winning Of $3.50, 900, the
amount of the fortune of his late friend,
Horace L. Porter, which he lost two years
ago in speculation.
When that debt of honor has been paid
he has promised himself the right to wed

Princeton he met Horace L. Porter, a
quiet, mild-mannered youth of a rather
retiring disposition. Porter was of the
sort that is susceptible to q man of
strong personality. So it was that, de-
spite the extreme difference in their physi-
cal and mental compositions, a strong
attachment sprung up between the two
young men, which strengthened as time
wore on.
Shortly after leaving college Mason
went to Chicago, and then he began to
speculate. He lost, and lost again. and

But to a young man of only twenty
