 But what about my two men?'' I persisted. Were they dead or what? You might hazard guess"
 'I might hazard dozen guesses. What do you think yourseif?"
 "rhey couldn't have been alive. 1 said.
 Hardly" MacNair grunted. The ] point is: were they dead?"
 We don't know that, either. Hello. what's this?" l was fiddling with Furie's eye piece. Chancing to look through it. saw. to my surprise, the grain of the top of my desk enormously magnfied.
 | Look through this" said. handing the lens to MacNair. | Excellent for closeup work" he grunted. Hut I don't sec how Furie ma naged the distance.
 T doubt if he got much out of it at all," l said. Its effect upon him seemed to be largely psycholog- ical. It seemed to give him confi- dence in himself 'I've got an idea he isn't as blind as he pretends.'
 What makes you think that?" Whipping five playing cards out of his pocket. MacNair tossed them in front of me- faces down. By their backs I recog lized them as part oi the deck Deacon had found in Og- den's safe.
 Look at tl.eir backs through the lens"
 "These cards are marked!" shouted.
 MacNair nodded. You wouldn'' have seen the marks without tho lens. Just the high cards are mark. ed"
 I studied the cards through the lens again. The two marks on each diagonally opposite corners of eacf card were the same. but no two cards were marked alike. On one card two curved lines were thickened: on another. two straight lines: on another. two half circles and so on. In no instance Wa the thickening longer than half ai inch and it had been done so deli cately that it was almost impercep tiblc 10 the naked eye. |
 "The chances of the crooked player would be increased enor mously." MacNair was>saying. "Th, method isn't perfect. of courses card would escape him now ant then but in crooked gambling { certain percentage of losses is de sirable"

 stared at him, dumbfounded "You think-Good Heavens! Yo, connect that lens with these mark ed cards! Nonsense! No one il his senses would play a man witl a magnifying glass in his eye" Not if the glass were set in Z pair of fashioned spectacles ? MacNair drawled | half rose in my scat. You mean-Good God!" I almost shout the town'!'

What did these occurrences mean!
 l decided to let the matter rest until after supper when l would see Henry or MacNair and give one or the other a chance to eN- press an opinion about my eNperi- ence.
 When I had disposed of sizable helpings of Mrs. Moffit's, beefsteak pie and caramel pudding l went into my den, took out my little red notebook. and began to pencil in It. I was still writing when Mrs Moffit ushered in Luther MaeNair
 Hello. there,' l greeted him.

When did you get back?"
 This morning." he said briefly. as we shook hands.
 When did l see you last?" went on. "Only yesterday morn- ing, was if? Seems like month. I've been through a good deal, Mac Nair."
 Whereupon I told every detail of my experiences. When l had done, l laid my exhibits before him: the Torridity Firebrand. Iurie's eyepiece, the ace of spades
 What do you think of my poker players?' l demanded.
 MacNair laughed grimly.

 I tried another tack Why had Eurie lied to me? Were he and Dillon in the thing together" For he certainly hadn't found me in that room in which l had come to my senses. As l had supposed at first. the room into which l had fallen was in the north wall of the building. Furie. then, had gone to the trouble of climbing through the window of the north room. un- bolting the door. and carrying me into the room off the west side of the gallery. If he weren't Dillon's s accomplice he must have guessed

something of the conditions under which i had fallen into the north room: and in either event he had smashed in the door of the west room to create in my mind the im- precision that It was this room into which I had fallen.
 Evidently there was something in the north room he wanted to con- eeal. What? The poker players Probably. And who, or what. were the poker players?
 There was another thing, too. The recurrence of this poker motif. Andrew had detested the game, yet we had found the imple- ments of it in his safe; the phrase the poker game that cracked the town" and some nonsense about playing poker for a human life were part of he Peterson legend and then l mad come upon that ghastly game in the north room.

CHAPTER 80 THE WOMAN IN BLACK

"Precisely. The poker game that cracked the town" MacNair ech- oed. 'The town of Torridity 30 years ago. How it cracked it we don't know.'
 "And what-who was the stake?" l breathed.
 MacNair gave his cold -biooded laugh. "Ah! the stake. That will be another part in our pattern"
 And the players?"
 "Ogden would be one of them,' MacNair drawled with maddening deliberation.
 And Dillon was the other!" l shouted.
 He seemed to ponder this. ''I don't know so much about that. Who is Dilloa?"
 You know perfectly well who Dillon isl" 1 stormed. Again the cold-blooded laugh. He

 Were you married to him then? "Yes. But I did not live with him in Torriiity. A week there was enough. The town was aban- doned when the mines were closed down. My husband was shot about that time."
 ''Shot." exclaimed. "Is he dead"

BAND CONCERTS
WELL ATTENDED
THIRD CONCERT BY THE ELY
MUNICIPAL BAND DRAWS A
FULL AUDITORIUM-ELEG
PROGRAM GIVEN.

Before an audience that filled the
Washington Auditorium and by far
the largest ever attending the free
concerts given by the Municipal Band,
the third of the series of twenty ar
ranged for the season was given Sum
day and proved the best of the season
so far, although Directress Helen Noah
promises many more of like import
ance in the future.
The extraordinary large audience
was more than pleased and vented
their pleasure by literally applauding
each and every number. The pro-
gram opened with the National Herr
tage" march and was followed by an
overture New Dawn"
Miss Myra Loughin captured the
audience with her chalk talks in which
she illustrated musical numbers Civ
en- by Sterling Krause and Glenn Pow
ers and Miss Thomas and Mrs. Glenn
Powers at the piano. Miss Loughin
opened her part of the program by
sketching few prominent characters
In the public eye and followed with
the illustrated song Somewhere a
Voice is Calling" and The World is
Waiting for the Sunrise" Sterling
Krause singing the songs During
slight intermission in her work, Frank
Sasek. student director, put the band
through the stirring march, "El Cap
itan" in very accomplished manner.
Miss Loughin continued her pro-
gram with Trees" and 1.-The End of a
Perfect Day. Glenn Powers sang the
accompanying songs. A popular num-
Der by the band was next in order fol-
lowed by the ESpana" waltz Spanish
character number.
Frank Jenko and his accordion was
forced to respond to encores after each
number and at one time it appeared as
II Frank was to remain for the bal
ance of the afternoon so insistent
was the applause. A selection from
the musical romance Sometime"
which introduced many of the popular
airs Of the day by the band followed.
The closing number was the march
"Columbiana" during which two boy
scouts walked to the front with the
colors bringing the audience to its feet.
The last strains of this stirring march
also brought to the front of the stage
the cornet and trumpet section in the
popular army trumpet calls.
The directreSs is making every eff
fort to have the concert programs
pleasing and successful. That she is
succeeding is attested to by the con-
stantly increasing audiences and the
pleased remarks by those attending.
For the concert on Sunday, March 8,
a saxophone quintette, vocal and in
strumental solos and other specialties
