long, wainscoted Virginia hall, where
the riders were grouped around sill

toast of the house? And why should
the patter of the cab horses hoofs on
the frozen street be in any wise re.
lated to the sound of the saddled hunt
ers stamping under the shelter of the
west veranda? And what had Fuzzy
to do with any OF it?
The lady, looking at him over her
glass, let her condescending smile
fade away like a false dawn. Her
eyes turned serious. She saw some
thins beneath the rags and Scotch ter
rier whiskers that she did not under
stand, But it did not matter.
Fuzzy lifted his glass and smiled
yacantly. f8Ef ffi tttt

And then he began the ancient salu.

house when men wore lace rufIles and
powder.
"The-the blessings of another
year"
Fuzzy's memory failed him. The
lady prompted:

And upon her who" continued
the lady, with leading smile.
"Oh, cut it out" said Fuzzy, i'll

Fuzzy had shot his arrow. They
drank. The lady smiled again the
smile of her caste. James enyeloped
Fuzzy and re-conducted him toward
the front door. The harp music still
softly drifted through the house..

musing, "who-but there were sc

Fuzzy and his escort were nearly
at the door when the lady called,
"James!"
James stalked back obsequiously
leaving Fuzzy waiting unsteadily, with
his brief spark Of the divine fire en-
tirely gone.
Outside, Black Riley stamped his
cold feet and got firmer grip on his
section of gas-pipe.

him to pass into the vestibule.
Beyond the wroughtiron gates in
the dark highway Black Riley and his
two pals casually strolled, lingering
under their coats the inevitably fatal
weapons that were to make the re-
