quented the gaming houses and

sole idea of making money. New
York, then in the grip of a cor

wide-open city. and the halls of
chance and fortune were run
ming full blast under police pro-
lection.

themselves into millionaircs, ex-
cuslng their rapid requirements

Campbell found no lack of op-
portunity to hazard his money.
In the many luxurious and
magnificently furnished gaming
establishments of the Roaring
Thirties," the sailor was a nightly
visitor, and his phenomenal luck,
even when matched against the
crooks of the faro layout and the
manipulated roulette, still remain
ed with him. When he sailed to

some $40, 900 in cash and negotiable
securities, slowed in secret locker
at the head Of his berth.
A Big Success
Mollini had the figure com.
pleted by the time the John Cal
win arrived. Arson, impatient to
view 1t, hurried up to the atelierD
shortly after the ship was
moored.
ut is a triumph, signorw The
Italian greeted him volubly, his
expressive features radiating with
the pride OF accomplishment. He
led the way into the studio where
a great cloth-draped figure stood
on a platform. "Wait, signor,
until arrange the setting"
Behold Mollini whisked away
the covering and stood glancing
from the figure to his patrons
face with quick, anxious eyes.
Arson raised his hand. "Wait!"
He stepped back to view the fig.
ure at a distance. Yes he ad.
mitted with growing appreciation.
Mollini had done his work well.
1t was a mastery replica, and
would satisfy the aesthetic sense
OF the most exacting. Running
his eyes over the statue, its
elegance and sweet proportions
began to excite his admiration.
The sailor, gratifiad now, his
critical faculty swept away in the
compelling beauty of the work,
placed it in imagination at the
bows of his dream ship. Soar.
ing joyously above the trampled
brine, he visioned it in its lowell.
ness, and the thought filled him
with rapturous pleasure.
The John Calvin, ballast-laden,
left Antwerp for New York again
in October, 1884, and cleared the
British Channel in fine weather.
Arson vowed it would be his last
voyage under the Phillips flag,
and when he arrived in America
he planned to sell out his interest
and build ship of his own. And
the first concrete step toward
the realization of his dream was
the figurehead, packed in a stout
case and dashed on top of the

But affection is a delicate thing;

ing, exquisite blossoms some call
the "I-love-you" roses.
Gather those in your arms,
hold them close in a passion of
possession and they fade. Their
beauty goes out; they drop into
a sad little huddle Of petals.
Like the roses, love cannot
live without freedom. Each thing,
each human being, is an entity
which none may dominate, nor
whose individuality none may
transgress. When transgression
is attempted, fear steps in.
Perfect love casteth out fear"
Yes. But love is perfect cnly

Arson yawned and laid the book
he was reading on his knee. He
reached across for the tobacco tin
and filled his pipe. ''Well
let the muslin hang until it begins
to blow. She's making her course
Don't want to strip her

Thought you might want to

watches are on deck. "' The
mate threw out the hint.
Arson lit up his pipe and picked
up the book again. We'll call all
hands when the time comes. Let
me know when it begins to
breeze"
The other nodded and with an
"All right, sir!'' he dumped on
deck again cursing under his
breath at the probability of his
being turned out in his watch be-
low to help nuzzle canvas.
He picked up the book and con-
tinued, reading even though the
effort Of remaining seated in his
chair called for q foot braced
against the stove and another on
the table leg. The ship was groan-
ing and creaking noisily-like an
army in new boots by the volume
of it-and now and again came
the quivering shock of a sea strik-
ing her forward. Then came a
sudden sound Of cracking and
flogging far aloft and a loud
shout from the watch officer. An
son cast down the novel and stag
gered towards THE companion.
(TO Be Continued Tomorrow
The Washington times., 1927-06-07

The autumn days passed slowly,
and the duties of a shipmaster
being light when at sea, Arson
found the time dragging. He
spent hours on deck, pacing
sentry to the sarcophagus of his
inanimate deity, and when tired
OF the sullen skies and heaving
blue-green ocean, he killed monot-
ony below in his cabin by persuing
the books of his collection.
His literary delvings ran in a
sequence Of positives and mega
tives. Lying on the settee in the
after cabin or lolling before the
stove in a deep armchair, he
pored over the theories of daring
evolutionists, proclaimers of old
and new theologies, advocates Of
iconoclasm and iconolatry, and
the hectic apostles of new social
orders. These he studied for the
purpose of fitting them to his own
egotistical conceits; those that diff
Tered with his ideas, he flayed by
penciled criticisms on the page
margins or fed to the flames of
the pot-bellied heater.
And as an antidote to such stod-
gy stuff, he eased himself into the
literature of the voluptuaries, the
light and spicy tale-spinners of the
Radicals, Boccaccio and Balzac
school, the Sternes and Smolletts
Of English prose, the poetry of
Baudelaire.
On such mental dietry, Arson
Campbell battened and fortified
opinions at variance to the exist
ing ideals Of morals and social con.
ventions.
Thirty days Of tedious progress,
a slave to the winds, and the John
Calvin blew across the meridian Of

these resulted In a conception
which spurred him to action.

Later in the day, he sauntcred
into the atelier of Angelo Mollini,
an Italian wood-carver who main
tanned a workshop almost under
the shadow Of the great Gothic
pile of Antwerp Cathedral.
To Mollini went Arson Campbell
with his idea and explained what
he wanted. The woodcarver's
blacy eyes shone. "Si 81! signor,
Aphrodie," he spoke with en-
thusiasm. II should greatly like

Wherever Nathan called during

about his ship and her commander.

Arson got - hint of this from the
agents in Antwerp. He was
obliged to give a receipt for every

expenditure, to write voluminous
explanations regarding the pur-

the first crusade brought back
from Palestine a game of staff
and balls, played on a table and
similar to the modern pastine.
The original game is believed
to have been played out of doors

''balyards," itself survival of

"gyard" or yard for stick. By

The game was played with
broad pointed cues, curved so
that, when the handle was rested
on the shoulder, the other end
of the cue was flat on the table.
1t was manipulated with one hand
and pushed against the ball with
an easy shove. The tapered cue
did not come into popular use
until about the close of the
eighteenth century.
