But he had partaken too freely of the

He seemed to be in large room sleep

he heard a noise and, opening his eyes,
he saw birds flying ali around him.
They would come very close to him
and pick at him with their sharp bills,
but before he could tap them with his
paw away they would fly, round and
round the room and never light for
second.
Then they flew out the window and
he was almost asleep when something
touched him on the nose. He opened his
eyes and there were mice, big and little,
running all about. He tried to jump
up, but he could not move, and the
mice ran all over him, pulling his ears
and tail and even his wriskers.

He got out of bed and looked at
himself in the long mirror on the
wardrobe door. He wasn't pretty The
eld-time lean cheeks were gone. These
were heavy, seeming to hang down by
their own weight. He looked for the
lines of cruelty Dede had spoken OF,
and he found them. and he found the
harshness in the eyes as well, the
eyes that were muddy now after all

OF the months and years before. Hs

shocked him. He rolled up the sleeve
Of his paiamas. No wonder the ham

Those weren't muscles. A rising tide
Of fat had submerged them. He
stripped off the pajama coat. Again
he was shocked, this time by the bulk
Of his body. 1t wasn't pretty. The

XIX.

Daylight awoke with the familiar
parched mouth and lips and throat,
took a long drink of water from the
pitcher beside his bed, and gathered
up the train OF thought where he had
left it the night before. He reviewed
the easement of the financial strain.
Things were mending at last. While
the going was still rough, the greatest
dangers were already past
His mind moved on to the incident
at the corner Of the bar OF the Par
thenon, when the young athlete had
turned hiss hand down. He was no
longer stunned by the event, but he
was shocked and grieved, as only a
strong man can be, at this passing OF
his strength. He had always looked
upon this strength of his as perman-
ent, and here, for years, 1t had been
steadily oozing from him. AS he had
diagnosed 1t, he had come In from I'M.
der the stars to roost In the coops OF
cities. He had almost forgotten how
to walk. He had lifted up his feet
and been ridden around in automo-
biles, cabs and carriages, and electric
cars. He had not exercised, and he
had dry-rotted his muscles with alco-
hol. And was it worth 1t? What did
all his money mean after all7 Dede
was right. It could buy him nc more
than one bed at a time, and at the
same time it had made him the abjeet-
est of slaves. It tied him fast. Which
was better? he asked himself. All
this was Dede's own thought. 1t was
what she had meant when she prayed
he would go broke. He held up his
offending right arm. 1t wasn't the
same old arm. or course she could
not love that arm and that body as
she had loved the strong, clean arm
and body OF years before. He didn't
like that arm and body himself. A
young whippersnapper had been able
to take liberties with 1t. It had gone
back on him. He sat up suddenly.
No, he had gone back on It! He had
gone back on himself. He had gone
back on Dede. She was right, q thou

For. once he varied his programme
Instead Of going directly to his hotel.
he started n a round of the bars and
cafes, drinking a cocktail here and a
cocktail there, and two or three when
he encountered men he knew. 1t was
after an hour or SO OF this that he
dropped into the bar Of the Parthenon
for one last drink before going to din

pleasantly warmed by the alcohol, and
he was in the most genial and best OF
spirits. At the corner of the bar sew

trick of resting their elbows and at

Secrat Societies,

Secret societies are so ancient that
their origin is lost in the mists OF the
past. They existed in Egypt. Persia.
India. at the earliest times with
which history or legend gives us any
insight. 1t seems to be natural for
men to organize such societies for both
good and evil purposes. Nearly all the
ancient religions were OF a two faced
character. popular and secret. or. as
they are called. ''esoteric" and "ex-
oteric." the first for the few. the in
itiated. the second for the rank and
file. The philosophers would teach one
thing to the masses Of the people and
another to the select few who made up
the Inner circle" Cicero tells us that
the wise men of Rome and Greece be-
lieved quite differently from the COM
mon run OF Greeks and Romans.

A Greenland Duel.

1t is rather l, pity for the gayety of
nations that French men Of letters
cannot fight their duels as duels are
fought in Greenland. In Greenland
when one man has been insulted by
another the adversaries each compose
a satire in verse. This each man re-
cites to his household until the serv.
ants and the women know it by
heart. Then Il place of meeting is ap.
pointed. The two men. the insulter
and insulted. the offender and offended.
stand farce to face. and each recites his
poem. His friends and servants form
a chorus. Each man tries hard to
raise the laugh against his adversary.
Each man speaks in turn. whipping
the enemy with epigram and quip.
and after two hours Of this wordy
battle the meeting gives the victory
to him of the two adversaries who
has amused the whole assembly most.
