Mayor Musser and Councilman

"D-n it," muttered Maillard. did

wouldn't matter a hang to them-but
What checked them so quickly"
"This door," said Fell, indicating
me to their right. He paused at it,
listening, and over his features came
l singular expression As the others
!oined him, they caught low MUIR
nur of voices, a hushed sound Of talk,

That gentleman flung open the door,
and Maillard entered at his side. They
then came to a startled halt, at view
Of the scene which greeted them.
The room was large and well light

tor the occasion. Tobacco smoke
made blush haze in the air. In
the center of the room stood a large
table, Uttered with glasses and bot
ties, with scattered cards, with chips

stick and took a forward step, anger
working in his face. "What the devil
d'you mean?"
Exactly what I say-and perhaps l
can prove it. Remember the oil con-
Germ to which you persuaded your
precious father to sell some of Miss
Ledanois' Bayou land? Remember the
real estate company to which you per-
suaded him to sell her st. Landry par
ish property? You had interests in
both concerns; don't imagine you'd
care to have your.share in those trans
actions exposed. Further. I entirely
understand your Indignation over my
getting rid OF this stock, before the
crash, and it i'll becomes you to assume
any such attitude"
Ma:!lard glared at him for a long
moment, a red tide of rage flooding
and ebbing from his heavy counte-
nance. Then, mastering himself, he
turned away without further speech.
Leaving Hammond to take the car
home, Gramont headed for Canal
crowd and revel in his new-found
sense of freedom. Now that he was
his own master, he felt like new
man, With a boyish abandon he
tramped the streets merrily, exchang-
ing jests and confetti, shoves and
bladder-blows, laughs and kisses. Mad
ness and reckless gayety were in the
very air, and Gramont drank deep Of
these youthful tonics When at last
he wandered home to his pension, he
was footsore, weary, disarranged and
tousled-and very happy. The wine
of human comradeshlp is good wine.
That, evening the Comus ball, the
most exclusive revel Of the most ex-
elusive s-aristocracy Of the southland,
crowded the edifice in which it was
held tosscapacity. Here evening dress
was prescribed for all the guests. The
Krewe of Comus alone were masked
and costumed, in grotesque and mag
nificent costumes which had been in
the making for months. The Krewe
is to the South what the Bohemian
club is to the western coast, with the
added enhancement Of mystery.
Despite the revels of the Krewe,
however-despite the glittering jewels,
the barbaric costumes, the music, the
excitement-an indefinable air of re-
greet, almost of sadness, pervaded the
entire gathering. This feeling was
something to be sensed, rather than
observed definitely: Some said. after

and put him under foot.
Then, when it seemed that they had
him without a struggle, the Masquer
broke from them, swept them apart
and threw them, of, hurled them clear
away. He moved, as though to leap
through the side doorway whence he
had come.
With an oath, Maillard hurled him
self forward, struck blindly and furi-
ously at the bandit, and fastened up
on him about the waist. There was

ers crowded in to pun down the Mas

Like faint echo to those shots
came the slam Of a door. The Mas
quer was gone!
After him, into the farther room,
rushed some Of the party; but he had
vanished utterly. There was no trace
of him. His complete disappearance
confused the searchers. After a mo-
ment, however, they returned to the
lighted room. The Masquer had gone,
but behind him had remained more
grim and terrible masquer.
In the room which he had just left,
however, there had fallen a dread 81
