 Val took away the eight soup plates and would not see the amused glances 9f the good looking Hungarians or Eli nor Coolidge's French count. Roche verte was not cruel at heart, but he did not like Englishmen at best, and Elinor Coolidge, having told him the story of Lord Loveland as she knew it, had said: ''We girls want to punish him not only for the way he would have deceived us all if he could, but for his perfectly horrid, supercilious airs when we used to know him on board ship. So please help us by sneering and staring as much as you can without making a scene"
 She had looked so handsome when she made this request that De Roche verte had told her he would grant it with pleasure, and he was doing his best to keep his word.
 They had got as far in the dinner as chicken fried with cream gravy, for which Black Dick was renowned, when the restaurant door opened and MT. Milton walked in, accompanied by another man.
 Milton sauntered over to the table and spoke to every one civilly, darting only one covert, ugly glance at his wife, when her fascinated gaze rested upon the fading bruise which discol- pred his square jaw reets-
 Read the Light this morning, Tony, and the afternoon papers copying it" he said Thought I'd drop in at the cockfght and see the fun. Great stunt, isn't it?" He eyed Loveland up and down as if the Englishman were freak at a museum. Of course the story was yours?''
 For the first time Val's eyes and Tony's met. only for an instant, but there was something like reproach in Loveland's. A trapped hare might have thrown look like that at the keeper who trapped him.

CHAPTER XVI.
FIRE |!

"A E R. MILTON turned away and N was drawing out chair for
 himself near one upon which 4 B seedy, bearded stranger had placed a small leather hand bag when suddenly the whole restaurant seemed alive with dry, cracking eX- plosionS, and in the same instant the electric lamps went out. The room, a moment ago brilliantly lighted, was black as a vault save for a glinlmer from the street that shone through the window Then, as every one jumped up, oyerturning chairs or breaking glasses in their hurry and the shrieks of the Italian women mingled with the strange cracking sounds, there came from somewhere at the back a loud detonation, followed by a hoarse roaring like a blast furnace. Men cried out in amazed alarm, and the dark room lit up ominously with a crimson glare that turned the curtain through which it leaked the color of blood.
 In rushed Black Dick and his assist ant, with Blinkey, who had been busy in the kitchen, and all three shouted wildly Fire, freg'@T sSi
 
 chaos. A long jet of flame sweeping out from the kitchen and acrdss the narrow passage caught the curtain in the doorway, up which little serpents of fire began to crawl. Every woman was screaming now in a panic Of fear whipped to horror by the red dark ness and the cracking explosions which snapped and spluttered on every side. The eXcitable Italians chattered and struggled with one another in the dark, the new Polish waiter ran here and there like a frightened chicken that sees the ak. the two negroes were al most in convulsions, and Tony Kidd called vainly on the Hungarian broth CTS and De Rocheverte for help in bringing order out of confusion.
 At the time of the first explosion Loveland had been quietly setting a plate of fried chicken before Tony, and as the journalist leaped from his seat the two young men were close to- gether.
 ''Short circuiting; escape from a fused gas pipe!' Loveland yelled through the noise.
 'fYes, that's it"' the reporter shouted back mechanically as if to friend.
 Then for few seconds Tony was overwhelmed by a wild rush of fright ened women. In the red light that streamed through the burning curtain he saw a crowd fighting to reach the window and the closed front door of the restaurant.
 Upon his incredulous eyes flashed a horrid tableau of De Rocheverte throw ing off Elinor Coolidge, who clung to him, crying. Save me, save mer' As the Frenchman blindly flung her away and dashed toward the door the girl would have fallen on her knees, to be trampled underfoot by the two Hun garians, had not Loveland pushed the men violently aside and caught Elinor in his arms.

'CHARLTON PLANNED CRIME
Fuchs So Declares, in Outlining
the Prosecution Plans.

Emil E. Fuchs, attorney for captain
Scott gave out statement yesterday
showing further reasons the prosecution
will advance. if the Charlton case ever
comes to trial for believing that Porter
Charlton was sane when he murdered his
wife.
The statement follows:
From reports received within the last
twenty-four hours, and circumstances Al
ready known by me, / feel justified in ask
ing. Was II coincidence that Porter
Charlton murdered his wife about the time
when Mrs. Charltons money was practi-
callv exhausted?"
We know that Mrs. Charlton had in the
L. 1910. and at the time when the crime
was committed this money was practically
gone.
What conclusion can be reached by these
facts bit that it is Just another indication
that instead of Porter Charlton being m
sane at the time of the commission of this
crime he used all the delberation, all the
schemes and secret methods. which only
a man who works out a logical situation
is capable of doing.
Our faith and feeling Is that the Ameri-
can government will not encourage SO oru-
tai a murder by liberating man who. BY
his acts and writings proves absolutely
that he IS not only sane but that his mini
was working logically and with forethoug1t.
When the statement was shown 20 K.
Floyd Clarke. chief counsel for Charlton.
Mr. Clarke said he did not care to answer
any statement that the other side might

PRUDENTIAL, ARGUMENTS BEGUN
Minority Stockholders Demand Share
in Surplus of S16,000,000.

Arguments In the legal battle in the Pru-
Dental Insurance Company were begun be
fore Vice Chancellor Howell, In Newark.
Yesterday. Twenty per cent of the stock
holders want TO share in the sl6.o0O0O sur
plus of the company. and the holders of
the remainder of the stock have decreed
that the surplus belongs to the non partici-
patng pOlicyholders.
The Complainants contend that the COM
pany has no right TO make gratuitous gifts
to the pOicyholders by diverting the sur
plus to their credit. The minority holds
that il belongs TO the stockholders, and as
much of it as is available should be paid
TO them in dividends. The defence contends
that the company began non participating
business several years ago. and that the
surplus represents the excessive rates
charged TO guarantee success, and that the
money riShtfully belongs 20 the non artici-
pating polcyholderS.
