brothers of score of fair bathing
maids since the latter proudly ap-

the other day with tattoo marks on
their fair arms and shoulders.
Spectators perched in beach chairs
gasped when they saw the first girl

came a shock when 1t was discovered
that other beach maidens had adopt
ed the fad of having their arms mark

At first glance it was supposed that
the marks. which ranged from the
anchor to hearts pierced with arrows,
were merely painted on. but when il
was discovered that the marks We're
needed in and practically indelible
there was a general stampede among
parents to discover the artist.

said. after asking Bansemer to sit
down for awhile His keen eyes noted
that her hand shook as she put the
poker back into its place. AS he
walked into the hall TO throw aside
his coat Frances Cable turned to Ban
semer with significant look. shaking
her head in mute appeal for silence.
Bobby Rigby came into the room,
followed by tall stranger, whom he
presented TO Mrs. Gable. Bansemer,
standing near the library table, caught
a glimpse of the strangers face as he
took Mrs. Cables hand. He started
violently, unable at first to believe his
eyes. A chill ran through his frame
and his expression changed from Won
der to CONSERVATION.

He stood mottonleSs, gazing upon the oc-
cupdntS of the room.
He noticed that Harbert's look was
uncompromisingly antagonistc, but
that was to be expected. 1t troubled
him, however, TO see something like
unfriendliness in Rigby's greeting.
Harbert was the man who had
fought him to rout in New York This
keen, aggressive young barrister had
driven him into corner from which
he escaped only by merest chance He
knew James Bansemer for what he
was. 1t had not been his fault that the
man crawled through small avenue
of technicalities and avoided the pun
ishment that had seemed so certain.
He had waged war bitterly against
the blackmailer, and he missed COM
plete victory by hairs breadth.
Feeling the strain of the situation,
Rigby talked with earnest volubility
He led the conversation into many
lines-the war in the Philippines. the
banquet, the play which Jane and
Graydon were seeing. The thought of
the play brought shade of despair to
his brow-pretty Miss Cleg; was in

Chicago signified. Gradus lily it dawn

not through with his fighting. The
look in Rigby's eyes meant something,
after all, and Rigby was Graydon's
best friend! Harbert was in Chicago
to act-and to act first. This thought
shot into the mans brain like burning
metal. 1t set every nerve afire. His

Before he left the Gable home that
