1OOt ana rlSnC arm FORWARD. h1lDane,
knowing that the little Baltimore
knocker-out would dispute his title
and some day he would meet him,
has been carrying a left-handed
scrapper as sparring partner.
Luke GinIey, who fights left-hand-
ed, has worked with Kilbane almost
daily. Ginley not only stands as
CLANCY does, but has the same kind
of overland wallop.
GinIey calls the punch his MARY
Ann. CLANCY calls his the Highland
Earthquake" Highland is the name
of the section of Baltimore in which
CLANCY lived. The punch is a full
arm swing, started from the waist,
brought around in complete circle
and down upon an opponents jaw.
In the four years he has. been
champion, Kilbane has met only two
fighters who stood with the right foot
forward. The only way he could get
practice against that sort of fighting
then, was to have left-hander in his
training camp.
BY employing GinIey, even when
a bout with CLANCY was a long way
off, Kilbane showed real efficiency
and offered lesson in preparedness.
Now, when he goes into the ring with
the Baltimore slugger he does not
expect to be bewildered by Chaney's
odd tactics.
Besides Bobby Reynolds, who
stayed the limit Of six rounds with
Kilbane and was knocked out in one
round by CLANCY, the fighters who
will meet in the championship bat
tie have each met Knockout Mars of
Cincinnati.
KiIbane knocked out Mars in eight
rounds in their first fight and out
pointed him in ten rounds in their
second bout. CLANCY met Mars once
and was awarded a knocked-out de-
cision in four rounds. Mars injured

until he ran afoul of the governing
powers of the American league be-
cause of rowdy tactics on the field.
With the Kay See Feds he took
team of misf1ts and worked them
over into a good combination. He
developed a pair of star left-handed
pitchers and generally made good.

SYNOPSIS.

At Troyon's. a Paris Inn, the youth
Marcel Troyon. afterwards to be known
as Michael Lanyard. is caught stealing
by Burke. an expert thief, who takes the
hoy with him to America and makes of
him a finished craftsman. After stealing
the 0mber jewels and the Huysman war
plans in London Lanyard returns to
Troyon's for the first time in many years
because he thinks Roddy. a Scotland
Yard man. is on his trail. On arrival he
finds Roddy already installed as a guest.
AT dinner q conversation between Comte
de MOrbihan. NJ. BannOn and Mile. Ban
mon about the Lone Wolf. a celebrated
cracksman who works alone, puzzles and
alarms him as to whether his identity is
only guessed or known. To satisfy him
self that Roddy is not watching him.
Lanyard dresses and goes out, leaving
Ftoddy apparently asleep and snoring in
the next room. then comes back stealth
lily, to find in his room Mile. Bannon. who
explains her presence by saying that she
was sleep-walking. In his apartment near
the Trocadero he finds written on the back
of 3 twenty-pound note, part of his con
ceaied emergency hoard. an invitation
from The Pack to the Lone Wolf to join
shem. Lanyard attempts to dispose of
the Omber jewels, but finds that The
Pack has forbidden the buyers to deal

great affection for YOU" he purred
venomously. 4 will do my possible.
But ! can promise nothing"
Il have every confidence in your
powers of moral suasion. monsieur"
Lanyard assured him cheerfully. "Au

And with this, not at all i'll pleased
with himself, he strutted off to an ad-
joining table, where a high-strung SEES
sion of chemin de fer was in process,
possessed himself of a vacant chair,
and in two minutes was so e~ngrossed
in the game that the Pack was quite
forgotten.
In fifteen minutes he had won thrice
as many thousands of francs.
Twenty minutes or half an hour
later a hand on his shoulder broke the
grasp of his besetting passion.

tinguishable grin. Were waiting for

Quite at your service"
Settling his score, and finding him
self considerably better off than he
had imagined, he resigned his place
gracefully and suffered the count to
link arms and drag him away up the
main staircase to the second story
where smaller rooms were set apart
for parties who preferred to gamble
privately.

knob, and stood aside, bowling politely

eral private gambling clubs Of Paris
which the French government toll
crates more or less openly. despite
adequate restrictive legislation; and
gambling was Lanyard's ruling pas
sion-a legacy from Bourke together
with the rest OF his professional equip
ment.
In the esteem OF Paris Count Remy
de Morbihan himself was scarcely a
more light-hearted plunger than NJ.
Lanyard.
Naturally, with this reputation. he
vas always free of the handsome sa-
Ions wherein the Friends of Humanity
devoted themselves to roulette. auc-
ton bridge, baccarat, and chemin de
fer-and of this freedom he now pro-
ceeded to avail himself, with his hat
just a shade aslant on his head, his
hands in his pockets. a suspicion Of a
smile on his lips, and a CLINT of the
devil in his eyes-in all an expression
accurately rejecting the latest phase
of his humor, which had become large
ly m of contemptuous federation,
thanks to what he chose to consider
an exhibition of insipid stupidity or
the part of the Pack.
Nor was this humor in any way
modified when, in due course, he con
firmed anticipation by discovering M.
lie Comte Remy de Morbihan lounging
beside one of the roulette tables,
watching the play and now and then
risking a maximum or two on his own
account.
A flash of animation crossed the un-
lovely mask of the count when he saw
Lanyard approaching, and he greeted
the adventurer with a gay little firt of
his pudgy, dark hand.
"Ah, my friend!" he cried. at is
you, then, who have changed your
mind! But this is delightful"
Then you really wanted to see me
tonight?" Lanyard inquired innocently.

yard!" the count declared, jumping up.

Dental tone those he knew at the
table before turning away TO the tug of
the counts hand on his arm-"I think
he mean to pay up twenty pounds he
owes mel"
Some derisive laughter greeted this
sally.
Il mean that, however," Lanyard in
formed the other cheerfully, as they
moved away to a corner where con-
~versation without an audience was
possible-"you ruined that Bank of
England note, you know"
Cheap at the price!" the count
protested, producing his bill-fold. Five
hundred francs for an introduction to
monsieur, the Lone Wolff"
Are you joking?" Lanyard asked
blankly, and with a magnificent ges-
ture abolished the proffered banknote.
Joking? I! But surely you don't
mean to deny"
MY friend" Lanyard interrupted,
before we assert or deny anything, let
us gather the rest of the players round
the table and deal from a sealed deck.
Meantime, let us rest on the under
standing that l have found, at one end,
a message scrawled on a banknote
hidden in a secret place, at the other
end, yourself, M. lie Comte. Between
and beyond these points exists a mys-
terry, of which one anticipates eluci-
dation."

promised. But first we must go to

CHAPTER X.
Disaster.

GlSdSlCTs
Having fulfilled his purpose of max
ing himself acquainted with the indi-
viduals composing the opposition,
Lanyard shut the door in their faces,
thrust his hands in his pockets, and
sauntered downstairs, %chuckling, his
nose in the air, on the best Of terms
with himself.
True, the fat was in the fire and
we'll ablaze-he had to look to himself
now and go warily in the shadow of
their enmity. But it was something
to have faced down those four, if he
wasn't seriously impressed by any one
of them.
Popinot, perhaps, was the most
dangerous, a vindictive animal, n
the creatures he controlled a murder
GUS lot-drug-ridden, drink-bedeviled,
vicious little rats of Belleville, who'd
knife a man for the price of an alb
sinthe. But Popinot wouldn't move
without leave from De Morbihan, and
unless Lanyard's calculations were Sc
riously miscast, De Morbihan would
restrain both himself and his associ-
ates until thoroughly convinced Ian
yard was impregnable against every
form of suasion.
Murder was something a bit out OF
De Morbihan's line-something which,
at least, he could be counted on to
hold in reserve. And by the time he
was ready to employ it, Lanyard
would be we'll beyond his reach. Vert
heimer, too, would d~eprecate violence
until all else had failed; his half-caste
type was cowardly, and towards kill
only impulsively, before they've had
time to weigh the consequences. There
remained "Smith"-enigma; a man ap.
parently gifted with both intelligence
and character. But if so, what the
deuce was he doing in such company?
Lanyard's place at the table of che
min de fer had been filled by another,
and, too impatient to await a vacancy
he wandered on to the salon dedicated
to roulette, tested his luck by stalking
a note of 500 francs on the black, won
and incontinently subsidized into q
chair and oblivion for the space Of
three-quarters of an hour.
At the end Of that period he found
himself minus his heavy winnings al
chemin de fer and the ten thousand
francs Of his reserve fund rs we'll.
BY way Of a lining to his pockets
there remained precisely the sun
which he had brought into Paris that
same evening, less subsequent genera
expenses.
The experience was no novelty II
his history. He rose, less resentfu
than regretful that his i'll luck Obliged
him to quit just when play was grow
ing most interesting, and ~resignedly
sought the cloakroom.
And there he found De Morbihan-
notwithstanding all garmented fol
the street, mounting a huge cigar ant
wearing a look of impatient discon
tent.
"At lastl" he cried in an aggrievet
tone as Lanyard appeared. "You d.
take your time, my friend!"
Lanyard smothered with a smile
whatever emotion was his.
Il don't suppose you really mean
to wait for me-" he parted, will
