The ten minutes passed very much
too quickly. She was gone, and john
thrilled though he was through all his
senses by the almost passionate fervor
of her leave-taking, found himself
once more confronted by that little
black demon. There was something
about all of them, all these people
whom he knew to be his friends, which
seemed to him to SAVIOR of a conspira-
cy. There was nothing that could be
put into definite shape-just the ghost
Of torturing, impossible thoughts. He
was in no humor to go home. Chang
ing the order he had first given to the
chauffeur, he was driven instead to a
small Bohemian club which he had
Joined at Graillot's instigation. He
had a vague hope that he might find
the great dramntist there. There were
no signs of him, however. in the smok-
Ing room, or anyone else whom John
knew.
He threw himself into an easy chair
and ordered a whisky-and-soda. Two
men close at hand were writing ut
desks; others We're lounging about,
discussing the evenings reception. One
man, sitting upon the table, recog-
nized authority. was treating the COM
pany to a fluent dissertation upon
modern actresses, winding up by con-
trasting Louise Maurers style With
that Of her chief French rival. John
found himself listening with pleased
interest. The mans opinion was GER

How could be angry7" he pro-

to him and speaking in a more mat

''that these French actresses get at

Louise Maurel. Do you know the rea-

their own life into small pieces and
give US the result without conceal

1t was out at lasti John had heard
1t spoken In plain words. The black
demon upon which his hand had lain
SO heavily, was alive now, without a
doubt, jeering at him. mocking at him
alive and self-assertive in the sober
words Of the elderly. well-bred man
who lounged upon the table.
For a moment or two John was
stunned. A wild impulse assailed him
to leap up and confront them all, to
choke the lie back down the throat
of the man who had uttered it Every
nerve in his body was tingling with
the desire for action. The stupor of
his senses alone kept him motionless.

ity Of thought. He realized exactly
how things were. This man had not
spoken Idly. or as a scandalmonger.
He had spoken what he had accepted
Us a fact, what other people believed.
John rose to his feet and made his
way toward the door. His face showed
little sign of disturbance. He even
nodded to some men whom he knew
slightly. As he passed down the stairs.
he met Graillot. Then once moro his
self-control became in danger. He
seized the Frenchman savagely by the
arm.
"Come this way" he said, leading
him toward the card-room. "Come In
here! want to speak to you"
He locked the door-a most un-
heard-of and irregular proceeding.
Graillot felt the coming Of the storm.

jerking his head toward the door.
''There were some men talking-de-

gers. They spoke Of Louise Maurel."
Graillot nodded gravely. He knew
very well what was coming.
John felt his throat suddenly dry.
The words he would have spoken
choked him. He banged his fist upon
the table by the side of which they
were standing.
Look, here. Graillot." he cried. al
most piteously, ''yOu know 1t is not

! John waited upon her without any
further remark. The prince OF Seyre
passing through, bowed to them. John
looked after his retreating figure. An
irresistible impulse seized him.
"Sophy," he asked, sitting down by
her side, 'tell me, why have the prince
and Louise always been such great
friends7"
Sophy looked steadfastly at her ice.
II suppose because the prince is a
very clever and cultivated person. u
she said. '.He has been Of great as

three failures"
"That was just an investment" !"
John remarked irritably. 'He will get
his money back again."
"Of course" Sophy agreed. II think
the prince generally manages to get
value for what he does in life"
"You don't think Louise ever

John persisted.
Sophy paused until she had lit a

when she looked up at John, irritated
him vaguely. 1t was as II she were

He asked 1t an hour or SO later,
when at last the party Of guests had
taken their leave, and, somewhat to
the well-bred surprise Of the one or
two friends who fingered, Louise had
beckoned to John to take her out to
her car. Her hand had sought his at
once, her head rested a little wearily
but very contentedly upon his shoul-
der.
"Louise, dear" he began. II asked
Sophy a question tonight which l

"Nice little soul, sophyl" Louise

Oakland Businessman
Arrested In Portland

Portland, Jan .11.-Arrest of Ernesta
L. thinner, Oakland business man on
a charge OF having a. fraudulent check
in his possession was to prevent the
swindling OF anybody through plans Of
thinner, known to Portland and Oak
land authorities, according to the dis
trict attorneys office here today.
thinner was arrested charged with
having a false check for $30,UU0 in his
possession. His arrival here yesterday
was known, and he was under constant
surveillance by police operatives.
According to the district attorney IS
office, Zimmer approached Samuel
Thorp in Oakland some time ago, and
made a proposition to him that rhorp
as shady. He asked the advice
of the Oakland district attorney, and
was told to apparently agree with Zim-
mer until the game could be frustrated.
When Zimmer left for Portland with
Thorpe, his purpose is alleged to have
been the victimizing of wealthy Port
land realestate holder who wished to
dispose of property. There were several
wire conferences between Oakland and
Portland officials, and every movement
cf thinner here yesterday was watched.
"A officer in plain clothes even accom-
panied him when he called ON local
business firms regarding contract.
