CHAPTER III.
The Bandit.

HC 0du0ies
Joseph Maillards library was on the
ground floor Of the house; 1t was a
sedate and stately room, and was in
variably shut off to itself. Not even
tonight, Of all nights, was it thrown
open with the remainder of the house.
Here Maillard summoned half a
dozen of his particular cronies and
friends. after the stroke of midnight
had assured him that there was no
danger to be expected from the ban
dit. His son was not among the num-
Der. The half dozen were nearly all
elderly men, and, with the exception
Of joachim Fell, all were men Of promi-
uent affairs.
About the table grouped Maillard
and his guests. Maillard, standing be-
fore small wall safe that flanked the
open hearth, lifted his silver goblet,
asteam with beads. The moment for
which he had been waiting was here
he launched his little thunderbolt with
an air of satisfied Importance.
"My friends, I have a confession to
make r. he announced. "Today re-
ceived a note from the Midnight Mas
quer stating that he would be with us
this evening, presumably at the hour
Of midnight. his usual time"
These words brought an instant ST.
lence. The half-dozen men were
tense, watchful, astonished. But Mail
lard swung up his silver cup and
laughed gaily.
II took full precautions, gentlemen.
The hour of danger is past, and the
notorious bandit has not arrived-or,
II he has arrived, he is now in the
hands of the law. So up with your
cups, my friends-a lifelong health to
Mardi Gras, and damnation to prohibit
ton and the Midnight Masquer"
From everyone broke swift assent
to the toast, a murmur Of relieved ten
sion. The silver goblets were lifted
touched in musical clinking Of edges
and the aromatic breath Of juleps
filed the library as the drinkers, In
true southern fashion, buried noses
In the fragrant mint. Then, as the
cups were lowered, from the recess Of
the curtained windows at one end OF
the room came a quiet voice:
II thank you, gentlemen! But ]
must remind you, Maillard, that there
was not time limit set in the note.
With a simultaneous gasp everyone
turned. Maillard staggered; his face
went livid. Every eye was fastened
upon that amazing figure now advanc
ing from the shadows Of the recess
1t was the figure of an aviator, claC
In leather from top to toe, the goggles
and helmet shield completely masking
his head and features from recogni
ton. In his hand he held an auto

Chinese Poetry VS.. Freud.

Chinese literature could exercise q
beneficent influence on our own. It
proves for example-and this contrary
to the doctrine of our romantic
Freudians-that a great poetry can
exist by other virtue than its sexual
interest. 1t offers resolution of our
too-favorite antinome between ro-
manticism and classicism, for 1t is a
literature both human and human
lstic; literature that is classical
without being mummified. American
poetry could learn this from the Chi
uese.-Aialcolm CowleY In the Dial

SYNOPSIS-During the height of
the New Orleans carnival season
joachim Fell, wealthy though some
what mysterious citizen, and Dr.
Ansley, are discussing a series of
robberies by an individual known
as the Midnight Masquer, who, in

long defied the police. Joseph Mail
lard, wealthy banker, is giving a
ball that night, at which the Mas
quer has threatened to appear and
rob the guests. Fell and Ansley,
on their way to the affair, meet a
girl dressed as Columbine, seeming
ly known to Fell, but masked, who
accompanies them to the ball.
Lucie Ledanois, recently the ward

History of Bread Making.

1t is said that the Chinese made
bread from wheat and rice as early as
1898 B. G. Probably the first bread
made from yeast was baked in Eng
land about 1884. Aerated bread,
which rises from carbonic acid gas in
jected into the dough, became some
what common in 1857, but practically
all bread, bakery-made or homemade,
owes its leavening to yeast or baking
powder.

Word Of Saxon orioin.

The word "step" In "step-father' or
"step-mother" is of Anglo-Saxon origin.
and is derived from "steop," meaning
bereft. 1t was first applied to chill
dren who had been bereft of a parent
thus an orphan was called, in Old
English, "step-bairn." In those days
a "step-father" was one who took on
the duties of father to an orphan.
Nowadays, of course, the term "step-
child" is applied to the child Of hus-
band or wife by former marriage.
