The Carlisle independent., 1917-08-02

Jimmy had been making desperate cal culations concerning the possibility of raising the amount Of the deficit. But it had been hopeless from the be- ginning.
 Presently, hearing a ring at the hall bell, and thinking that Muriel had for gotten her key, Jimmy went to open the door. He recoiled with smoth- cred shriek from the two men who stood confronting him. One of them displayed his detective badge.
 At the first words of inquiry he stammered out full confession. The two men heard him in silence.
 ''Tve got it all" he wept "Only give me time. I'll get it by the day after tomorrow"
 You can have till the day after to- morrow to make good" they informed him. Else it's Sing Sing. Don't leave the house or you'll be arrested"
 They left him, passing Muriel in the hall of the apartment house. The girl had hurried home, quite ignorant that she was being followed.
 As a matter of fact, Ravengar had only stepped few yards away from MT. Lamb, and, hidden in secluded niche, had waited for the singer to leave the cabaret. Then he had fol- lowed her. Whatever had been his motives. however, he made no attempt to speak to her. At the door of the apartment house Ravengar-vanished
 The moment the detectives had left, Jimmy went to the decanter and helped himself to long drink of whisky. He had just swallowed it when his sister entered. She saw at once that something was wrong.
 "Jimmy! What is it, boy?" she asked.
 And then, bit by bit, the pitiful story came out.
 "But you have the money, Jimmy, and will return it."
 Eve spent thousand dollars of t. answered the boy.
 She clasped her hands in despair. A thousand dollars to be raised within two days. Muriel had perhaps twen- ty dollars in the world. She was be- ing pressed with bills. She had never had a bank account in her life she drew her pay on Saturday night and brought it home, where it was prompt ly bounced upon by the waiting cred itors of the week.
 "We'n find way, we'll find a way she kept repeating.
 Muriel went into her room. The triumphs of the evening were forgot ten now She sank down listlessly in

her, saw the look of involuntary dis gust cross her face.
 That was enough for him. With a growl he started toward them, stopped, reached down deliberately, took Louie by the collar, and flung him several yards away
 As Louie sprawled to the floor, one of the chorus girls, who had been late, came hurrying out of the dressing room, her lit brazier in her hand. Louie's fall sent it spinning. The coals lay strewn along the floor and upon the silken hangings before the swing ing doors. Instantly flame shot up.
 Muriel leaped from the couch in fury. All her shame, all her plans had come to nothing. The act of the big fool had ruined Jimmy.
 Fire, Fire!" someone was yelling.
 The whole cabaret was afire. The flames were Streaming from the win dows, and the air was filled with smoke.
 Muriel, panic-Stricken, had instinc- lively run for the emergency exit. She gained it and stood ill the street, un- certain what to do. She wanted to help, yet she could not go back into that inferno.
 Then she was aware of Bill Bang at her side.
 "They don't know this way out" he yelled above the crowd. Go home, Miss Muriel. I'm going back for the others, to tell them"
 He had plunged back into the smoke again. and. filled with remorse for her words to him, Muriel looked after him in an agony of fear.
 Bremen. dashing through the smoke, were carrying out those injured in the melee. Bill Bang saw man lying half pinned under fallen beam.
 Bang raised the fallen man in his arms and began to Stagger out with him toward the emergency exit. But the man struggled free and stood upon his feet. Then only did Bang realize that it was Louie Lamb.
 Side by side they made their way to where Muriel was standing. At the sight of Louie Muriel shuddered; then, controlling herself. she said, gently:

cabaret and what was the meaning of his watehful investigation of Muriels face?
 He looked from Ravengar to Muriel, and, to his astonishment and joy, re- alized that MurieI was looking at him. Moreover, there was an invitation in her glance. She seemed, in fact to have eyes for him alone.
 Louie licked his lips. He knew. He was not mistaken.
 The thought that this beautiful dancer was interested in him almost overcame him. He was so absorbed in his affections that he hardly noticed the man and woman who came to the table and sat down until the dancer had disappeared.
 She was to dance again later that evening. Afterward Louie would go to her
 When he looked at the newcomers he discovered that they were Sebastian and Leontine.
 The recognition between Louie and the Argentine was simultaneous.
 Wont you introduce me 10 madam?" inquired the little crook bIandly.
 'Leontine, let me introduce MT. Lamb, an old acquaintance of mine. y muttered Sebastian.
 "A business acquaintance" said Louie, smiling Let me, in turn intro duce my friend, Mir. Ravengar"
 Sebastian, introduced, in turn, looked dubiously at Louie's distin- suished companion.
 In the dressing room Muriel Mason waited for her final turn. The thought of her project filled her with very mixed emotions. The second turn came, and Muriel, dismissing her troubles, hurried onto the stage.
 When the dance was over Muriel | waited in the hall. A cluster of chorus girls, each car rying a lighted braZier, came out of the dressing room and stood chatter ing together, waiting for their turn. Muriel drew back little from them. 1 She wished her meeting with Louis to appear as accidental as possible. X moment later she saw Louie come l quickly through the swinging doors and glance about him. He saw her. The dancer drew back toward one of the lounges and stood there, apparent | ly absorbed in thought.
 Louie hurried up to her and took her by the hand, urging her to sit down 1 beside him.

a chair and, leaning her face upon her hands, gave herself up to desperate imaginings. How could the money be raised? She must raise it.
 Suddenly she started up with low cry. Something was in the room, something appearing out of the cor her in which her desk was placed. It was hand-nothing but hand. r Out of the hand there dropped a roll of bills. At the same time a pencil materialized in the fingers and began to write on the pad.
 Then the hand vanished, and Muriel rushed to the pad and read:
 Lure the confession of a certain forgery from Louis Lamb tomorrow night and the thousand dollars neces- sary to save your brother shall be yours. Here are five hundred in ad- vance, as evidence of good faith
 Muriel picked up the roll of bills. They totaled five hundred dollars. *
 Since her dramatic protection from .Sebastian's advances a few nights be- fore Leontine had lived in terror of the man whose nominal wife she was.
 Sebastian, with the superstition of the Spaniard,l firmly believed that Le- ontine had been saved by some super natural protector.
 Meanwhile he had assumed again his attitude of civility toward her. They went about together; and Leon tine was glad to have him take her from the apartment into public places, where at least she was safe from him.
 Onsthe evening after Muriel's dis covery of the apparition, Sebastian had suggested that she accompany him to see the dancer, who had be- come the talk of the town.
 Louie Lamb had decided to play a waiting game with Sebastian. Mean while he had gone to the cabaret to see the beautiful dancer.
 At the same table he saw the same man who had been there the night be- fore-Ravengar. The two men nodded. Louie, finding that Ravengar was not disposed to be communicative, watched him curiously.
 Why had Ravengar come back to the

THIRD EPISODE
The Mystic Defender.

Leontine staggered back against the couch, and fell, shrinking from the Thing in the corner which still re- mained, the hands upraised, although they held the dagger now as if to hide it from her sight. Whatever the apparition meant, it was a friendly ote. It had come to save her.
 Then it spoke. The low voice thrilled her. and it reminded her of Jerry's own accents.
 Be true to your love and courage ous, and all will be we'll" it said.
 And it seemed to her as if this were indeed the soul of her lover, returned from the haunts of death, to save her honor at the critical moment.
 Then, as the last tones of the voice died away, the Thing was gone-gone with the chatter of the falling blade.
 Leontine managed to rise shakily to -her feet, and cross the room.
 Upon the rug lay the dagger. She picked it up. It was no ghostly me chanism, but very substantial blade of steel set into handle of bone. It was, moreover, dagger such as she had seen yielded by Argentine vaque- ros frequently.
 And wild, hopeless hope entered Aher heart that Jerry was still alive. '
 Jimmy Mason, sallow, unhealthy looking lad, stepped out of the eleya- tor in rather sumptuous apartment house and with unsteady fingers in serted a key in the lock of one of the doors. As he entered the hall pretty, attractive young woman came hurried ly Qy>sfs the living room. ~ - she cried, and flung her ar1ns round his neck.
 Jimmy Mason released himself from thiS bond of sisterly affection and went into his den. There, taking his seat at a desk, he immersed himself in what looke1 like intricate mathematical complications.
 "All right at the office, Jimmy" in quired his sister, putting her head in at the door.
 AS right as ever it will be- growled her brother.
 "Then Pm off for the cabaret" an- swered the girl, pinning becoming hat upon her pretty dark hair. a

 He realized that critical point in their relationship had been reached And he brooded over the memory of what he considered his wrongs. He thought of the long years he had loved her in Porto Delgado.

 A large and solid individual with a pugilistic face confronted her. The bashfuiness of his expression was rem iniscent of schoolboy's. In one hand he held fragrant red rose.
 "Why, what's this, Mir. Bang?' in Quired the girl in pretended astonish- ment.
 Bill Bang, who occupied the humble post of "bouncer," presented Muriel with the tribute of his adoration.
 Thanking him prettily for the flower, Muriel pinned it to her corsage and walked into the cabaret, where shouts of approval greeted her appearance. She mounted the stage and began to dance.
 Her quick eyes swept the room. In

 pressed his suit too hard Then Jerry had returned. to discover SebastiaB's Leontine that forged receipt with Jerry's name attached to it. That had been a trick, justified by all the rules of war.
 Jerry had killed Diego, as Sebastian firmly believed, and had afterward died on the convict ship. At last Le- ontine had consented to become Sebas- tian's wife, to save her father from bankruptcy
 What if there had been an agree ment that their relationship should be one in name only? Sebastian felt that he had been gulled. He had squan- dered thousands on the girl, and never had she shown a particle of affection toward him.
 Now the sight of Leontine and Ray engar was the touch of flame to tow He would never permit the man to win her from him. He made that resolu- tion before the taxicab stopped at their apartment house.
 He followed Leontine into the re ception room, where she took off her wraps. When she turned, she saw by the look on the mans face that she would again have to fight for the Ob- servance of his pledge.
 ''Leontine," began Sebastian, taking her by the arms.
 Sebastian, you-you-"
 Il have had enough of this Sebas- tian answered. You are my wife. and you treat me like a dog. You pretend to be incapable of love, that your love is bound up with that dead convict"
 You shall not call him that! Jerry was innocent" :" cried Leontine, with flaming eyes.
 Well, he's dead now" sneered Se- bastian. And you have married me"
 He seized her in his arms but she broke away from him and ran into corner of the room. sebastian, \ trusted to your honor!" she cried. "Se- bastian. perhaps 1 can learn to love you if you will give me time"

 Then, once again, there came the mystic intervention. Nearer now than before. at the height of mans head, and this time in the center of the room, the two eyes glared at Sebas- tian. And underneath the eyes were the two white hands clutching the dagger.
 Leontine screamed, and again Sc bastian, looking up, saw the fearful apparihon. As he looked the dagger flashed toward him. /
 Thoroughly cowed, he screamed and bolted for his room, in which he locked himself. Aeontine stood in no fur ther dangkr from him. He knew now that his wife was guarded by this mes senger from the supernatural.
 Again Leontine heard the voice speak.
 Be true to your love of Jerry and be brave All will be well" it said
 Her heart leaped up with thankful ness. This time the name of her lover had been spoken, whereas before the phrase had been ambiguous.
 As she gazed at tse apparition she prayed: Let me look at your face Are you indeed Jerry, come back from the dead to save me from that man?'
 But there was no answer Slowly the apparition faded only it seemed to the girl that the look of burning hate in the eyes had been succeeded by one of love-
 And somehow she seemed to see in them the glance that Ravengar aad given her that evening, when they stood side by side outside the burn ing cabaret. And she felt as if she loved Jerry the more because of Ray engar.
