A Double Game Of Bluff

DANNOCK PURVIS proved to be a
- most jolly looking man about forty
five years old. He was comfortably
plump and looked as if he had enjoyed
abundant good health.
His ruddy, clean shaven face at
tracted one, for he had such a frank
companionable way of smiling. Good
living was beginning to spoil his good
figure, for his waistline bulged out
slightly instead of curving in as it
should do.
He was dressed elaborately. A hand
some diamond stickpin shone in his
cravat and another diamond of equal
ostentation glittered on a pudgy finger.
1t was easy to see that he liked himself
extremely well, for every move he made
unconsciously expressed great self-ap-
probation.
Such was the man to whom Susan
Maitland had loaned her $50. 900.
When I entered his office he busted
himself at his desk for fully two min
utes, while 1 stood by in silence. 1t
was so obvious that he was not busy,
that I almost smiled at his cheap at
tempt to impress me, and to keep me
on uneasy street.
Finally he opened the top left hand
drawer of his desk, tipped back the lid
of cigar box and after carefully
choosing a cigar, closed the drawer
again.
He then turned to me and looked me
up and down, while he viciously bit off
the end of the cigar and spat i into a
much too large cuspidor. He then
lighted the cigar, and after putting a
few great clouds of smoke, tilted back
in his chair and condescended to speak
to me.
"Well, Mr.. Smith, so you want me
to help you?' U almost forgot for
a moment that for the time being l had
ceased to be Peter Flint.)
Tiff you can, Mr.. Purvis,'
said half apologetically, as I felt a
man financially embarrassed should
so speak.
II can all right, all right, Mr.. Smith,
but will 1? That's the question" And
another cloud of smoke accompanied
his boastful answer.
"Yes. I suppose so-soAwill you,
Mr.. Purvis?"
He looked at me critically before
answering, then said:
"You look all right, Smith, I'm
id if you don't! Sit down, man,
and make yourself comfortable. His
manner changed instantly to one of
great cordiality.' Here, have a cigar,
Smith, and make yourself comfortable.
By C you look like a pretty good
sort of fellow, and if you've got good
security in bills receivable, I'll see you

The Mermaid Vanishes

THE handsome young prince sank
quickly beneath the waters of the
lake. And of course that was to be
expected when he was so reckless as To
plunge in when he couldn't swim a
stroke. But then he was very much
in love with the mermaid who was
singing to him and never stopped to
think what would happen.
Peggy and Billy and Balky Sam,
who jumped in after him, could all
swim, and they padded around anx
iously waiting for him to come up.
The instant his head showed above the
surface, Billy grabbed him by the hair
and Peggy grabbed him by the collar.
He thrashed out wildly with his arms.

and would have dragged both Peggy

"He- haw! Ouch - brayed Balky
Sam, and then he swallowed such a lot
of water that he could only gurgle and
splutter. But Billy hung tight until he
had pulled the handsome young prince
to Balky Sans side and had helped
him to climb on the mules back.

who vows revenge. Fleda is claimed
by one Jethro Fave as his wife,
under gypsy custom which united
them in marriage when they were
children. F'leda rejects him and a

j. C. Cunningham Is Not Sure but That Icebergs Are More
Perilous Than Explosive Mines

From mine fields to ice fields in the
North sea, Captain ]. c. Cunningham,
of the Luxapalala, which is preparing
to leave this port, is not sure which
is the worse. He experienced both in
the course of one of his many trips at
sea.
Captain Cunningham has not had
time to run to his home in Vinalhaven,
Maine, but he hopes to meet his wife
in New York from which port the vessel
will sail for Marseilles, France, with a
miscellaneous cargo.
The Luxapalala of 800 tons gross, is
one of the recently launched Hog Island
ships. She had her trial trip on July
16. While Captain Cunningham was
busy getting his crew of forty three
officers and men together this morning,
he spoke of some of his experiences dur
