What cleverness the mother and
scallawag Of an uncle had shown to
have kept the child in ignorance all
these years! That she saw darkly, as

Sooner or later the storm would burst
upon her innocent head, and then God

This moment flashed and was gone.
Next, he reviewed with chagrin and ir.
ritation the folly of his ultimatum of
the preceding night. He had had not
the slightest semblance Of plan in
his head. Sifted down, he saw his
savage and senseless humor and the
desire to stir up discord. Gioconda
was right. Fortune was above them
all, in feeling, in instinct, in loyalty.
What right had he, roisterer by night
that he was, predaceous outlaw, what
right had he to look upon Fortune as
his own? Harm her! He would have

The English-Bar was not the most
inviting place. Sober, Ryanne had
never darkened it's doors. The odor
Of garlic prevailed over the lesser
smells of bad cooking. It was lighted
only from the street, by two windows
and a door that swung open all the
days in the year. The windows were
generally half obscured by bills an
nouncing boxing-matches. wrestling
bouts and the Autographs of cheap
theaters. The walls were decorated
in manner to please the inherent
Anglo-Saxon taste for strong men, fast
horses, and pink-tighted Venuses. A
few iron-topped tables Uttered both
room and sidewalk, and here were
men OF dozen nationalities, slipping
coffee, drinking beer, or solemnly
watching the water-bubbles In their
Sheeshas or pipes.
A curious phase of this class Of un-
der-world is that no one is curious.
Strangers are never questioned except
when they invite attention. which they
seldom do. So, when Ryanne and his
quasicompanions entered, there wasn't
the slightest agitation. A blowsy bar
maid stood behind the bar, polishing
the copper spigots. Ryanne threw her
a greeting, to which she responded
with a smirk that once upon a time
