Sid Dodge's place was running full
blast. Courteous, obseQuious walters
slid soft-footed from table to kitchen
and back again, bearing in their
miraculous arms dishes adroitly
chefed for the dissipsted palates Of
epIcureans-drinks cunningly mixed
by the highest priced experts In the
city. No expense was spared at Sid
Dodge's place-the stakes were too
big to skimp on the details that made
for tone.
The room was filed with the strange
murmur of many voices, high, low,
soft, musical, harsh, droning-all con-
tributing to an incessant mingling
drum so meaningless in the abstract
so pregnant with meaning in each in
dlvidual group. Bright lights made
soft by artful globes hung suspended
from the frescoed ceilings by massive
linked chains; and mingled their mel
lowed radiance with the rose-colored
glow of the numerous silk-shaded lamps
that dotted the tables, and made pale
faces seem glowing and warm. Luxu-
rious carpets catered to daintily
shod feet; bright silver cleaned in
well groomed hands and clicked an ac-
compartment to the incessant click Of
long-stemmed, bubbling glasses.
In one end of the room, from be-
hind a line of spreading palms, rose
the rhythmic pulsing, passicn-laden
strains Of Pagliacci, and died out in
a .plaintive wall of cello and viol, as
though surfeited with the luxury Of
its own sweet sadness-died out amid
the appreciative applause Of subdued
clapping and the slightly swelled MUIR
mur of approving voices.
No one seemed surprised when a
low, artificially constructed door in the
wall near the palms swung back on
noiseless hinges, and a young man
entered in evening dress. Why should
they? They had all come in that way
all this well-groomed company Of
dissipated midnight diners, past the
watchful, scrutinizing gaze of the
lookout on the silent street, down a
flight of dark steps, up another fight
that twisted and wound its way to
that noiseless door-A foul stem bios
soming exotically in that dining room
of mingled rose colored lights, soft
voices and sweet music.
To the young man who took unno-
ticed his place at snug table in far
corner, the artificiality of all this
superluxury was Immediately evident.
The richness OF the room so out of
keeping with its dark approach-the
flushed, eager faces of the diners, the
too courteous solicitude of the oily
walters, pointed unmistakably to some
secret vice as yet unseen. He gave
his order to deferential waiter, and
again turned his attention to the room
and it's guests, his deep-set, shadowed
eyes and pale, thoughtful, abstracted
expression concealing effectively the

there in spite Of the secluded table he
had picked to escape observation. Was
it possible that this young bounder had
seen him talking with the dancing girl,

fact that he was keenly alive to every
move in the rccm.
The music again started, this time
in a brisk, accentuated tarantelle;
there was a flash of red from behind
the palms, a clicking Of castanets, and
out on the raised dais flashed slim
wisp of a girl, and flung herself with
abandon into the spirited dance of
Spain. Her face wore rapt, set smile
as of perpetual pleasure, her every
motion betraying how we'll she loved
this rhythmic expression-her express
sion of the beautiful The music ceased
suddenly, bravely, in a spirited crash
mixed with the smart double-stamp OF
the dancers heels on the floor, and the
thrilling cluck of the castanets-there
was again that subdued applause
again the resumption of conversation,
and the dancer, painting and flushed
beneath her rouge, came down from
the dais, and curtsying familiarly,
threaded her way between the tables.
She stopped at one with a word of
familiar greeting on her lips and sat
down.
The young man in the corner
watched her and her companion as
the gliding waiter carefully wiped the
bottoms of their liquor glasses and set
them down. The girl seemed laugh
ingly to propose toast that met with
the approval of her friend, who
laughed heartily. The man she was
seated with was a flabby, pink-faced,
tiny-eyed individual, his light brown
hair combed smoothly back over his
head and accentuating lack of fore
head that he had done better to have
left covered. The second drink was
brought, disposed of in as short order
as the first, and the girl again seemed
trying to persuade the tiny-eyed man
across the table. His wavering was

covered with tar paper and rubbish,
though the temperature had been

manure doubtless had supplied the
necessary heat, and this was retained
by the covering material.

French army they have motor-hospi-

These vehicles are saving scores of

Sid Dodge wrestled madly, fearfully
with the woman before him, in the
rear room of his cafe. She broke
loose once, and with fierce, wild ges-
ture, took up a great vase and
brought it down with terrific force
on his shoulder, just missing his head.
He closed with her and took her both
soft yielding arms in his gripping fin
gers and slowly forced her back into
chair.
Slowly the struggling figure in his
grasp relaxed, and became limp in the
chair. Slowly there pervaded that
face horrible agony of powerless
despair. Once her hands raised and
tried to cover her face, and her
shoulders hunched as she shrank deep
into the chair as though trying to
separate herself from the dread of
her thoughts. Thoughts of the man
she had ruined, the girl whose dream
of love she had blighted, thoughts Of
the putrid vileness of her own lying
soul! And now the light, and the
realization that she would have ever
more to pay!

The next night Ellis and Marion
took a long -'de in his motor car.
They returned late, and he fingered a
few fond minutes before leaving her at
her stoop. He came back toward his
car, whistling softly, happily to him
self, his hands stuck deep in his
trousers pockets, his mind lost in the
reverie his whistling belied.
A short sharp cry. as II Of someone

to a consciousness Of outward things,
and he looked up In startled surprise

He rushed up and caught her quick

from which he had come. The woman
had a deep black veil on, veil that
entirely concealed her face; but she
was otherwise dressed in unrelieved
black, SO the veil was not provocative

from him, but again staggered weakly
as though about to fall and was again
caught and steadied by Mason.
He helped her into his automobile
and started for her apartment on the
upper West side. She seemed to grow
worse as they went along, and when
they arrived her seeming plight made
it necessary that he carry her up the
stairs.
When they arrived at her room
after painful climbing Of steps she
suddenly recovered sufficiently to rise
and take off her hat and veil, and he
was shocked and incredulous at rec
ognizing Clarice Adair, dancing girl of
the cafe he had raided two nights be-
fore. Her recovery was now extraor-
dinarily rapid, and he was suddenly
panic-stricken as a realization of what
this all meant came upon him. She
smiled at him mockingly as she be-
gan to take off her outer garments.
He had not long to realize, however,
for in another moment the door was
thrown rudely open, and two men
entered.

The plot of ellison and his tools had
worked.

Came the day of trial; the trial of
the young assistant district attorney,
accused of contributing to the de-
linquency of dancing girl. Clarice
was the complainant; District Attor-
ney Bell the prosecutor, Sid Dodge,
the jury fixer, and Mason, the defend
ant. What if he did have a good at
torney? What if he did get jury
disagreement? His reputation was
blackened forever.
Into the surge Of his despair came
the thought of Marion-his Marion.
He turned his footsteps in the direc-
tion Of her home. When he arrived
