. stage star. He was infatuated and attended all of her performances. And at one of these there came . shock which mortified European nobility down to its rock bottom foundations. For the star danced out upon the stage wearing the Bourbon jewels, lent to her by tho Duke! That was too much for everybody, and the Emperor Franz Joseph himself interfered to settle the matter.
 The war came, and the Duke wanted to fight for France. He entered the country and offered himself for enlist ment as . plain private in accordance with French custom and law.
 Instead of being allowed tp enlist he was arrested and sentenced to two years in jail. After four months inn prisonment he was escorted to the frontier and released. Then hs tried to enlist in the Belgian Army, but the King of the Belgians had to refuse him. Next he tried the American, Army, but here too he met with refu. sal. So he quitely joined an ambulance unit and served throughout the re- maining days of the war on the firing hhe, being frequently mentioned in official dispatches.
 Meanwhile, the Royalists of France were wondering what to do about the

Duke. They wanted him on the throne, but every time they made any progress within the country, winning the support of this or that powerful individual and gaining . little advan" tags in. t b 6 serious game of politics. the Duke turned up some where and got ints trouble. In most cases he managed, innocently enough, to undo all of their good work, and he was at once their hope and despair.
 Finally, the Duke d'Orleans dropp.e d from public attention. He went to Africa, where he hunted for hi0 Oame. He went North, engaged in ex- ploration, and shot and trapped the unusual animals of those lati- tudes. In fact, the rest of his life was spent combing the out-of-the- way places of the earth for rare specimens.
 This was hard and dangerous work. On one occasion he under. took an elaborate ex-

But there is mere

 story. For, in the first place, the collection is one of tho
 most complete and important (. in existence, and in the sec-
 ond place it was gathered by .*:a the Duke himself at frequent ~#s risk of life and limb, during
 the years before his death that he spent roaming the earth because France wouldn't have him!
 The story of this Bourbon Prince is striking from any angle. He was im- mensely wealthy, 90 wealthy that no consideration of money could have interested him for a moment. In a world of patricians his place was the most regal. Bluer blood never flowed in any mans veins than coursed through the vital arteries of the Duke. His ancestors were "the forty kings who, during . thousand years, made France" He was legitimate preten- der to the throne and without doubt, if France had abandoned the Republic during his life. he would have been crowned king.
 Yet with all of these advantages his entire life waS series of misfortunes. To begin with, he was exiled from the country (which he loved passionately. That was a matter of French law. which bars from the country any di- rect pretender to the throne. He sought to have this law set aside, but was unsuccessful.
 Living exiled in England he gave offense to the British royal family.

There is no reason to believe that he consciously insulted British royalty. It was just some little slight, which he, perhaps, didn't take seriously at the time. But it won him disfavor in this first country of his adoption.
 He went to Russia and the night he reached St. Petersburg he attended the opera. Instead he should have first paid his respects to the Czar. The Czar saw the Duke at the opera and the monarch never forgave him this insult"
 The Duke married the Archduchess Maria Dorothea of Austria. It was a brilliant affair, but disaster followed. The Duke and his wife were not hap py. They had no children and in the end they were parted.
 Then the poor Duke fell in love with

And with the collection, almost as . gentle but ironic reminder of his years of exile, he left his own tent which had accompanied him to the waste places of the earth, and before which he had sat in the tropical moonlight, dreaming of the Paris which he could not sec, and of his ancestors who had ruled the land which he could not visit!
 The assembling of the Dukes col. lection has just been completed and the full import of how hs applied the Golden Rule of returning good for evil is just beginning to reach the people of the French Republic.

But now, from beyond the grave, he has succeeded in making a generous and even noble gesture which has caused aaors than ripple in the pool of Euro. pean nobility, which attests the sheer ity of the purpose which he never could express In life, and writes . gall lant and graceful "finis" to his para doxical tale.

 The Dukes experiences on this ex. petition were so narrowing that he rs. turned to his home an invalid and for a whole year he was confined to his bed. But when he again was up and about he started of on another expe- dition, always collecting rare speci. mems of bird and beast.

 Hello, there" I greeted him. When did you get back?"
 This morning" he said briefly, as we shook hands.
 When did see you last?" l went on. "Only yesterday morning, was lit? Seems like a month. I've been through great deal, MacNairsa
 Whereupon I told every detail of my experiences. When I had done, laid my exhibits before him: lthe Torridity Firebrand, Furie's eye piece, the ace of spades.
 What do you t..ink of my poker players?" I demanded.
 MacNair laughed grlmly.
 Your poker players? I should say they were part of the pattern. Everything you have told me about is a part of the pattern. But most of the parts are missing, and we see nothing but confusion. When the pattern is complete we shall probably have as intricate bit of mosiac work as you or ever saw.
 But what about my two men?' , persisted. Were they dead or , what? You might hazard guess. } T might hazard dozen guesses l What do you think yourself?" ]. "They couldn't have been alive, I said.

Excellent for closeup work" he grunted. But I don't see how Furie managed the distance"
 T doubt if he got much out of it at all," I said. Its effect upon him seemed to be largely psycholog- ical. It seemed to give him con- fidence 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 recognized them as part of the deck Deacon had found in Og- den's cafe.
 Look at their backs through the lens"
 These cards are mark d." I shouted.
 MacNair nodded You wouldn' t have seen the marks without the lens. Just the high cards are marked"
 I studied the cards through the lens again. The two marks on the diagonally opposite corners of each 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 was the thickening longer than half ar ! inch and it had been done so deli cately that it was almost impercep- tible to the naked eye.

MARKED CARDS

The possibility that my experi- ence behind the bolted door might be reality of a grim and terrible kind hadn't occurred to me since a few minutes after my return to consciousness this morning and l had put completely out of my mind the thought that it was anything else but a nightmare. And yet here I was with proof of it's realty in my handl
 Every detail of the experience stood out in my memory as sharp as a beacon on a dark night. The fearful quietness after the storm
 the shapes at the table the striking of the faulty match <. the two men playing poker in the dark. the card I had automatically stuffed into my pock- ct and forgotten about. And then my hand going over that cold face.
 But they couldn't have been dead!" I groaned. And they couldn't have been alive! It must have been a nightmare!" And then I looked at the ace of spades again and knew that it wasn't.
 I tried another tack. Why hae Furie lied to me? Were he anc Dillon in the thing together? Fol he certainly hadn't found me 1T that room in which had come to my senses AS I had supposed at first, the room into which I hat fallen was in the north wall of th' building. Furie, then, had gon' to the trouble of climbing through the window of the north room unbolting the door, and carryinl me into the room of the west sid of the gallery. If he weren't Dil Ions accomplice he must hay guessed something of the condition under which I had fallen into tn north room: and in either even he had smashed in the door of tn west room to create in my min the impression that it was thi room into which I had fallen.
 Evidently there was something i the north room he wanted to con ceal. What? The poker players Probably. And who, or what. wer the poker players?
 There was another thing too, Tn recurrence of this poker" mott Andrew had detested the gam yet we had found the implement of it in his safe; the phrase tn sip0ker game that cracked tn town" and some nonsense abol playing poker for a human lii were part of the Peterson legen and then I had come upon ths khastly game in the north roon what did these occurrences meani
