CHAPTER VI.
Enter Miss Marie jacques.

Even the staid butler, standing in his
gilt-corded suit in front Of three spe-
eially employed detectives. smiled as Mr..
TilInghast left his taxi and walked up
the carpeted steps beneath the special
canopy for the protection Of the fancy
costumes.
Tillinghast. true TO his character, dar-
ingly turned on his electric light stick
and scrutinized the faces OF the detec-
tiveS who laughed as the joke was turned
on them. He handed his admission card
to the butler, and, leaving his hat and
coat with a servant. slipped into the
brilliantly lighted ballroom, where scores
OF gay jewellers were gathered for the
dance.
The familiar scene OF well-bred people
gorgeously costumed for q frolic stirred
Tillinghast. He loved notning better; in
an instant he was right at home and had
forgotten the months OF poverty and the
ballroom.
Always a leader. that night he outdid
himself According to his Instructions
he repaired to the familiar old chess
room in the subcellar almost at once.
The large rock-walled chamber had been
thrown open to the guests, according to
Judkin's custom, for the people he en-
tertained were always anxious to see the
famous classroom which the Sunday
papers often featured.
The safe in which Tillinghast had rea-
son to believe his fathers last will lay
was banked with palms, and only the
front could be seen. it's black enamel
shining through the leaves.
There were two little groups of peo-
pie in the room already. Three clowns
all dressed alike enlivenec one corner.
and Harlequin painted like stick of
candy danced a riotous measure with
his Columbine before three others
Tillinghast took his stand in the middle
Of the floor, crouched low and threw
down his bag, surprised to find that the
thick walls deadened the sound as It
struck the floor. He cleared his throat
to attract attention and snapped on the
electric stick he held in his hand.

CHAPTER v.
The My.teriou. Partner.

At $50 that night Tillinghast was all
dressed for the Judkins ball. He had
asked several times during the day for
Mr. Van Der Pool. but Bilkins said each
time that he was out
As he picked up the mysterious black
satchel and weighed II in his hand TIL
linghast suddenly turned to Bilkins with
the exclamation. why. that bags empty.
Is there anything in it,"
'I couldn't say, sir. It's important to
take the bag. I'm sure, for Miss jacques
sent 1t over for you by special messen-
ger this morning-something very neces-
sary in the part she Is to play, have no
doubt"
but it's locked, That black bag Is too

police catch me with II"

tiently.
THAT I can't say. Mr.. Van Der Pool
is expecting word from her every min
ute. In fact, 1 think he has just gone
out to see why she is tardy."
At that moment a key turned in the
lock and a mans hurried footsteps were
heard.
That's Mr.. Van Der Pool now!" ex-
claimed Bilxins. I'll just step out and
see what orders he has, sir. II you'll be
so good as to excuse me-"
TiIlinghast dimly heard Van Der Pools
voice, a little excited, giving instruc-
tons to his man. "Confound IT. Miss

FIRE ALARMS DECREASE

New York, Oct l4-.ope hundred and
one fires in three years is the record OF
a single city block in what has been
known as New Yorlk's larson zoEe." Few
realize what this means in cost to the
city and property owners. Any alarm
in that section will bring out at least

out each Of these apparatus cost just

The totals for the i@ fires. therefore.

44A men called out at a cost Of s3.535.
Damages suffered at fires average $62a

That not one life was lost in all these
fires will seem strange to one who does

was she? What would she do?
Several times he acknowledged bows
and signs from box parties and smiled
grimly to himself, rejecting that these
people could only recognize him now that
he was we'll dressed and appeared to have
money again. He had met only one real
man who had professed true friendship
for him during this awful period of pow
erty. and that man was Paul Van Der
Pool.
After the opera Tillinghast ate little
lunch at a gay and exclusive restaurant.
Then he strolled back TO Mr.. Van Der
Pools rooms and sat waiting for sew
eral hours, hoping his benefactor would
come in. At length, from lack of sleep,
he was overcome and retired in the
pleasant room reserved for him.
In the morning when he awakened,
soft-footed BiIkins slipped in and pre-
pared the bath for him.
Where is Mr.. Van Pool this morn
ing?" asked TiIlinghast anxiously. i was
rather hoping to see him before 1 went
to bed last night"
He seems to be busy with something

At least he left word for me to tell
you that he would be occupied for some
night and that he hoped YOU would par
don him and enjoy yourself as his guest

gave me more money for you, II you
need it"
TiIIinghast flushed. 'oh. no." he said.
''I am already too deep in his debt

Van Der Pool is really too good. Has
he given you any directions about my
fancy dress tonight?"
Yes" answered Billxins promptly. He
suggested that you wear the dress clothes
that fitted you 80 nearly last night; he
gave me this black mask, which you must
wear"
''why!" cried Tillinghast, putting on
the domino. Il look quite like a high
wayman."
II believe that is the character in
which you are to appear at the hall to-
night, is it not, sir?'
"why, yes. Something like that. But
the thing has a startling effect"
"And you are to carry this electric
light stick for Miss Jacques and learn
to throw 1t about with good aim and
hold it steady at command" said Bill

very words, sir

tion. or an actor on the stage.
That is splendid. You must think

BiIkins rendered him on behalf of Mr..

Don't ever be afraid, Mr.. Van Der
Pool will pull you through, sir. He's
got a heart as soft as duster, sir, and
as large as a princes income. He'll see

fidently, Strengthening out few wrinkles
and contrasting the form of Tillinghast to
that of Mr.. Van Der Pool to the dis
paragement of the former.
Feeling that he was quite a man again,
with good clothes and real money at his
disposal, Tillinghast left the house and
stroIled over into the stream Of confident,

down Broadway.

to be sensitive about his age, especially
