THE SCARLET
PERIL
By STUART B. STONE

when arrived at the Charity rink
fhe great hall resounded with the roll
u half a thousand skates, and the
, babble and laughter of the masked
skaters doubled the noise I was late
II knew that--so I hurried into the
baggy. blue trousers and scarlet fez
Of n Turkish man-of-the-world and
waddled on the floor.
The scene was a brilliant one
monarchs, mermaids, muses. and
monks. There we're all the gods Of
Greece and Egypt and every name in
the annals of nations. Neptune reveled
with Mother Goose, and Cleopatra
with Paul Revere. Here we're Jack
and Jill pulling Confucius about, and
there was Napoleon Bonaparte ogling
the Queen of Spades.
We circled round and round the
mammoth hall, and the pace grew
-mad. madder, and yet madder. Then
a Chinese mandarin in front slid on
lone foot, then on another, on both, on
none at all-and finally on his pig
tailed head, and The bunch Of us went
down in a scrimmage. AS I sprawled
atop of a fat colonel Of hussars,
voice whispered in my ear: Beware
the Woman in Red!"
looked up very quickly and a
Spanish flower girl held pretty
white forefinger in front of lips red as
cherries. "I mean you, Mr.. Turco,"
6he said, and skated away on the
arm of Christopher Columbus.
"What the deuce does she mean?"
4 thought, and, picking myself up
limped over to lean against an iron
post Then ribald, old Bacchus
reached around the post and touched
me on the arm. "As you value your
Itfe.'' he said, watch the Woman in
Red!"
"a plague on your scarlet lady" I
complained; where is she, anyhow"
Bacchus had gone with Margaret of
Navarro, but found the Woman in
Red. She was tall, well-formed, and
bright, bloodred from the hood Of her
dong gown to the dainty French shoes
on her feet. She was graceful
thi~g, too, and just now she was exc
cUting a series of maneuvers on the
rollers, turning, reversing, leaping-
and all as lithesome as nature itself.
Quite crowd looked on, but it
seemed to me that one Of them ap-
preached very near.
I skated easily toward Her Mys-
terious Redness, and a little Cupid
laid hands on me. Don't go nearer"
he said, ut will be your death" I
broke away angrily, but a wood
Irymph and an Amazon repeated the
warning before l had made dozen
strides
