clock had chimed IL by a good half
hour and Hooking had lost nearly
every note that Esther had given
him Yet he still played on, cursing
his luck in no measured terms, but
wholly unable to stop playing as
long as he had anything left to stake.
He was wildly hopeful that luck
might turn and, fearful of realizing
when the excitement of the game
was over, that he was once more
ruined and destitute.
He looked pale and haggard. Dark
lines were beginning to show under
his eyes and his mouth twitched at
the corners. His forehead and hands
were damp with perspiration, and MS
fair hair streaked across his brow
He hardly glanced at Lofty now. He
had eyes for nothing except the
cards. The world had become
green battlefield for black and red
battalions to march to defeat or to
victory. The frowning queens seemed
almost human; so, too, the bland,
smooth smiling kings, the leering
.Inaves. Yes, the cards were all alive
and mocking him to his face.
Sob Broke in His Throat.
He drew a deep breath, and some
thing like a sob broke in his throat,
then he cut the cards and threw
down the last of Esther's bills.

cried wildly. "Are you to have all

He Elared fiercely at Tweedledum
rs he spoke. The big man laughed.
The others loss was his gain. The
world was a merry enough place for
him; he had no heart for another
mans tragedy.
Lofty yawned as the cards were
dealt She made no attempt to hide
the yawn. She looked tired and as II
she wanted to rest her eyes and her
brain. She gazed at Tweedledum with
some Impotence. He had won enough.

Der her: she was weary Of her work.
That settles things, eh?" Tweedue-

and showed his cards.

The men took no heed OF her. They

Hooking said nothing; he rested his

"TweedIedum, you don't mean to

chair with a cry Of dismay: she cast
a glance Of compassion at Hooking.

Hooking. Your drivers as drunk as

He laughed again as he spoke, for
Tweedledee had started violently at
the sound Of his voice. and now faced
him livid and trembling.

to twitch and shake.
Guy Hooking hesitated a second.
