REApY 10 cHU MWITH MARS

Mars in 1924 is to be 35 million
miles from the earth. This distance,
occurring every Is years, is but a
stones throw in celestial spaces. The
other extreme in the orbit of Mars is
2S4 million miles.
Naturally, astronomers are all agog
to make the most of the opportunity
of the neighboring proximity about
to be attained. The sight OF the tele-
scope is far keener than at the last
Martian approximation in 1909. Wire
less instruments of astonishing ex-
perimental possibilities have been
developed in the intervening period.
At present evidences of the habita-
tion Of Mars are easily subject to
disbelief. Elaborate speculations are
built out Of the deduction that Mars
is a much older planet than the earth.
The hypothetical Marian, 1t is con-
jectured, may have lived long enough
to be as far advanced as man would
be at about 100000 A. d. On the
other hand, many astronomers con-
slider that the Martian atmosphere

"a CARNIVAL JOKE"

SYNOPSIS. During the height Of
the New Orleans carnival season
Jachin Fell, wealthy though some
what mysterious citizen, and DR..
Ansley, are discussing q series of
robberies by an Individual known
as the Midnight MasQuer, who, in
variably attired as an aviator, has
long defied the police. Joseph Mall
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
girl dressed as Columbine, seeming
ly known to Fell, but masked, who
accompanies them to the ball.

offers to buy some Of her property.
A franciscan monk interests her.
He turns out to be Prince Gramont.
In his library Joseph Maillard and
a group of his friends are held up
and robbed by the Midnight Mas

an old family, is in straitened cir

parents and deeply interested In
the girl Henry Gramont, really
the Prince de Gramont, is enamored
Of Lucie. Lucie talks with Fell
about her affairs and the Masked
Masquer. Gramont's chauffeur,
Hammond, sergeant in the A. E.

original Midnight Masquer, and
Gramont had assumed the role.
Where Hammond had been a rob-
Der for financial gain, Gramont, of
course, is not. He arranges to re-
turn the ''loot'' to those whom he
has robbed. Gramont and Ham

CHAPTER vI-continued.

Hammond stood staring after the
staggering figure; for once he was
speechless. The jaunty words had
sent terror thrilling into him. He
started impulsively to pursue that i'm
pudent accoster-then he checked
himself. Had the man guessed some
thing? Had the man known some
thing? Or had those words been only
a bit of meaningless impertinence-
chance shaft which had accidentally
flown home?
The last conjecture impressed itself
on Hammond as being the truth, and
his momentary fright died out. He
concluded that the incident was not
worth mentioning to Gramont, who
surely had troubles enough of his own
at this juncture.
AS for Ben Chacherre, he sauntered
from the alley, a careless whistle upon
his lips. Once out Of Hammond's
sight, however, he Quickened his pace.
Turning into side street, he directed
his step toward that part of the old
quarter which, in the days before pro
hibition, had been given over to low
cabarets and dives Of various sorts.
Coming to one Of them, which ap-
peared more dirty and desolate than
the rest, Chacherre opened a side door
and vanished.
He entered what had once been the
Red Cat cabaret. At table in the
half-darkened main room sat two men.
One Of them, who was the proprietor,
jerked his chin in an invitation to
Join him.
A man famous in the underworld
circles, a man whose renown rested
on curious feats and facts, this pro-
prietor few crooks in the country had

now, but in times past he had been
the head of far-fiung organization
which, on each pay day. covered every
army post in the country and diverted
into its own pockets about two-thirds
of Uncle Sans payroll-a feat still
related in criminal circles as the ne
plus ultra Of success. Those palmy
days were gone, but Memphis Izzy,
who had never been ''mugged" in any
gallery, sat in his deserted cabaret
and still did not lack for power and
influence.
The man at his side was apparently
not anxious to linger, for he rose and
made his .farewells as Chacherre APP
preached.

he said to Gumberts. Charley the

"I've sent orders to bring 'em in

Gumberts nodded again, and the
man departed. Into the chair which
he had vacated dropped Ben Cha
cherre, and took from his pocket the
money he had obtained at the bank.
He laid 1t on the table before Gum
berts.
