With a sympathetic person assisting

of fun.
"Whose Are tho Eyes7"
Whose Are the Eyes" which has
attained great popularity, dimly sug-
gests the vehmericht, the secret
tribunal of old Westphalia, in which
the judges sat closely cowled and
with their faces invisible. The game,
however, is all mirth. Two Of those
that take part in 1t are seated side by
side. Over the head Of each Is placed
an outstretched newspaper. In this
paper two holes are cut. The paper
conceals the head of each of the play
ers beneath and only the eyes are Wis
ible through the eye holes. The OBJ
ject of the game is for the rest of the
players to guess the ownership OF the
eyes as they see them by holding a
candle close to them.
"Blow Out the Candle"
About as popular as this game is
BLOW Out the Candle" One Of the
party is sent from the room. He or
she returns blindfolded. A candle
burns in the room, around which the
other merrymakers are gathered. The
blindfolded player must advance to the
candle and blow 1t out.
1t looks easy. but 1t isn't. The thick
ness of the blind is so dense that the
light of the candle cannot be seen

CHAPTER TX.

The inquiry hung fire, and Truscott,
moved by Billery's recent disaster,
found him something at which he
could imagine himself to work at the
Daily Record Office. He was not OF
any special service there, but he had
enough In hand to keep him out OF
mischief, and he drew a salary on
which 1t was possible for him to sub
sist with comfort. He had little den
of his own with his name painted on
the door, and pretty generally in the
course of the day Truscott came in
and smoked cigar with him, so that
Billery came to enjoy q high esteem
with the staff, and to be looked on as
one who held sort Of advisory pow
er in the councils of the Journal He
had a telephone in his room, and he
passed some Of his time in harmless
conversation with his friends, whom
he would occasionally ring up in order
to impart to them the latest funny
story in circulation in Fleet street. He
had been SO thoroughly scared by his
own narrow escape from death that
for long time he was a model Of tenn
perance.
Alexis had been advised by his doc
tor to try a change Of scene, and he
had gone abroad. Billery thought Of
him often with deep compassion, and
his first eager interest in his man-hunt
had died away. He had said nothing
to the Scotland Yard authorities about
Grimaud, whose complete knowledge
of the case, ii, indeed, he had any, re-
mained locked In his own breast
There was very fair possibility that
the whole thing might blow over, and
Billery's heart was SO wruung by the
thought of the anguish which would
come upon the innocent IL the crime
were brought home to the guilty that
he almost hoped that his past efforts
would go for nothing, and that Alloy
sius would be left to the torture of his
own conscience.
He was sitting In his room at the Of
nee one afternoon, making his Gus
tomary pretence OF being engaged on
something of Importance, when he
found himself called up on the tele-
phone. Whenever this happened It
made Billery feel important. He liked
to think that he was at the center Of
affairs. He responded to the call at
once, and shouted, "Helloa!" and "Are
you there?" and who is It, II you
please" Was that the Daily Record?
Yes. Was Mr.. Billery at the once!
