"It breaks the speed limit to
smithereens. "
That's a candid opinion about
this story. There may have
been swifter talcs, bat not re
cently. It's an aeroplane of a
yarn, moving so fast that you
lose your breath while you fol
low it. But you don't need any
breath, anyway, because you for
get about respiration with your
eyes on reading of this kind.
Every man has his day of days.
Yours may have come and you
may be swimming in the full tide
of fortune. If so, read how P.
Sybarite found his. If your own
ship is still in the offing, you
vjill enjoy learning how the little
spunky red headed bookkeeper
won a fortune and an heiress,
foiled all his enemies and had
some of the most amazing ad
ventures ever penned all in less
time than it takes the hour hand
to round the clock dial twice.
CHAPTER IV.
Wheels cf Chance.
IS constructive mendacity light
upon Lis conscience. I. Syba
rite permitted George time
enough to leave the Louse
and grmi Clancy's. tli'Mi quietly follow
ed as far ;is the gate, from which
jK.ii t he cut across the southern side
walk, turned west to Ninth avenue a'-id
then north to Forty-second street.
Here Le boarded a crosstown car.
This was quite the most insane freak
in which he had indulged himself these
ir.p.ny years, and. frankly adaiittirg
this much, he was rather pleased than
otherwise. lie was 1m.uik1 to eall on
Uai'ey Per. field and inform that gen
tleman where lie rr.lsrht rind hi fiat.
Incidentally he hoped to surprise some
thii' r other informing with regard
to the fortunes of Miss I.essinir.
Alighting at Sixth avenue, he walk
ed to Forty-fifth street, turned "Cf to
ward Fifth avenue and In another mo
ment was at a standstill in the ex
tremest bewilderment before No. 07.
Iy every n r:ml indication the house
was closed and tennntless. From roof
to l.acineiit its every window was
blind with shade close drawn. The
front doors were closed, the basement
prating likewise.
Disappointed in the conviction that
he had drawn a false lend, the little
man strolled on eastward a little dis
tance: then, on sheer impulse. Rave up
his project and. swinging about, start
ed to o borne.
p.ut now as he approached No. f7
the second tiiue a taxi ab turned in
from Sixth avenn slid to the curb
lefore that dwelling and set down a
smallish young man dressed in the ex
treme of fashion, who, negligently
hnndinz a bill t the chauffeur, ran nim
bly up the steps, ran 3 the doorbell and.
promptly letting himself into the dark
vestibule, closed the door behind Lira.
The taxi- ab swung round and disap
peared. Not so P. Sybarite. Pro
foundly intrigued, he waited hopefully
for this second midnight caller t re
appear, as baffled as himself. Put.
though he dawdled away a patient five
minutes, j:t"ihig of the sort occurred.
Here was mystery within mystery
indeed! Why iP. Sybarite asked him
self with impatience i.eed he remain
outside when another entered the
house without let or hindrance?
Fpon this thought he turned boldly
up the steps, pressed the bell button,
laid hold -f the doorknob and entered
into a vestibule as dark as his tewil
derment nrd as empty as the palm of
his hand, proving that the young gen
tieman of fashion had exi-erlenced no
diflicuUy in penetrating farther into
fastnesses of this singular establish
ment. In reflecting that where one
had pmp another might follow. P. Syb
arite pulled the door behind him.
Instantly the bare and narrow ves
tibule was flooded with the merciless
glare of half a dozen electric bulbs,
and at the same time he found himself
sastaining the intent scrutiny of a
pair of inhospitable dark eyes set in
an impassive dark face, which last was
abruptly disclosed in the frame of a
small grill in one of the inner doors.
"Well." lie was gruffly asked, "what
do you want?"
Irritating discourtesy inhered in the
speaker's tone. P. Sybarite stiffened
his neck.

ffnnly. "of course."
"No such patty here." was the an

"Wei!, what do you want?"
playing his alleged credential.
"I believe you'll liud that authentic,"
he observed with asjerity.
Ify way of answer the grill closed
with a snap. Put his inclination to
kick the door was nullified when with
out further delay it opened to admit
him. Nose in air. lie strutted in, and
the door banned behind him.
lie stood in the main hall of an old
fashioned residence. To his right a
donb'e doo-'way revealed a drawing
room luxuriously furnished, but. as far
as he could determine, quite untenant
ed. "n the left a long staircase hug
ged the wall, with a plow of warm
light at its head. To the rear the hall
ended in a single doorway, through
which he could see a handsome ma
hogany buffet, elaborately arranged
with shimrecring damask, silver and
crystal.
"It's all right." announced the ward
en of the grill, his suspicions to all
seeming completely allayed. "Mr. Pen
field ain't !n just at present, but" here
he grinned shrewdly"l reckon you
nin't so dead set on serin" him ns you
made out. Will yon go right on up. or
would you like a bite of somethin' to
eat first?"
At the mere hint of food a frightful
pang of hunger transfixed P. Sybarite.
Abandoning false pride, P. Sybarite
yielded:
' I don't mind if I do. thank you."
"Straight on back; Pete'll take care
of yoti all right."
A thumb indicated the door in the
rear of the hall. P. Sybarite found the
br.'k room one of good proportions,
whatever the architect's original inten
tion, now serving as a combined lounge
and grill: richly and comfortably fur
nished in sober, masculine fashion,
boasting in nil three buffets set ,foith
with a lavish display of food and drink.
In one of many deeply upholstered club
chairs a gentleman of mature years
and heavy lody. with a scarlet face
and a crumpled, wine stained shirt
bosom, was slumbering serenely; two
thirds of an extravagant cigar cold be
tween his fi Hirers. In others two young
men were confabulating quietly, but
with a most dissipated air. heads to
gether over a brace of glasses. At a
corner service table a negro in a white
jacket was busy with a silver chafing
dish, which exhaled a tantalizing
aroma.
The negro, at the entrance of P. Syb
arite, glanced quickly over his shoul
der, and, seeing a strange face, clap
red the cover on the chafing dish.
"Yas-suh comiu!" he gabbled. "It's
sho' a pleasure to see you again."
"At least." suggested P. Sybarite,
dropping: into a chair, "it will be, naxt
time."
"That's right, suh that's the troofl"
The negro placed a small table adja
cent to his elbow. "Tha's what Ah
alius says to strange gemmen fust time
they comes hyeh, suh: makes 'em feel
more at home like. Jus lemme know
what Ah kin do for yo tonight. That
'ere lobstuh Newburg's jus' about

"I do," P. Sybarite admitted. "Just

"An uh HI drink, suh? Jus' one lil
innercent cocktail to fix yo mouth
light?"
"If yon insist. Pete if you insist."
"Yus-suh; and wif the lobstuh, suh;
Ah venture to suggest a nice, cold lil
ha'f pint of champagne?"
The negro wadd'ed away, returned
and offered the guest a glass brim
ming with amber tinted liquid.
Tender morsels of lobster smothered
in cream and sherry, piping hot; dainti

embracing leaves of pale lettuce; a hollow-
stemmed glass effervescent with

ed not in tBe least to subdue P. Syba
rite's internal jubilation.
Finally "the house,' through the
medium of its servitor. Insisted that
he top off with a cigar.
Ten years since his teeth had grii
ped a Fancy Tales of Smoke:
Now. it mustn't be understood that
P. Sybarite entertained any misappre
hensions as to the nature of the in
stitution into which he had stumbled.
He had not needed the sound, some
times in quieter moments audible from
upstairs, of a prolonged whir, ending
in several staccato clicks, to make him
shrewdly cognizant of its questionable
character.
So at length, satiate and a little
wearj drawn by curiosity besides he
rose, endowed Pete lavishly with a
handful of small change, something
over 5 cents all he had in the world
aside from his cherished So and slow
ly ascended to the second floor.
Ilere in remodeling the house for its
present purposes partitions had arbi
trarily been dispensed with. Aside
from that inclosing the well of the
stairway, the floor was one large room
wholly devoted to some half a dozen
games of chance.
Upon all the gaming tables massive
electric domes concentrated their light.
The walls, otherwise severely un
adorned, were covered with lustrous
golden fabric; the windows were invis
ible, cloaked in splendid golden hang
ings; the carpet, golden brown in tone,
was of a velvet pile so heavy that it
completely muffled the sound of foot
steps. Indeed, the room was singular
ly silent for one that harbored some
twoseore players in addition to a full
corps of dealers, croupiers, watchers
and waiters. The warmth of the room
was noticeable.
A brief snrvev of the gatherfo.? con
vinced P. Sybarite that, barring the
servants, he was a lonely exception to
the rule of evening dress. Put this
discovery discomfited him not at all.
With an eye alert for the man with
the twisted mouth he strutted from
table to table ostensibly as little ill at
ease as a press agent in a theater
lobby.
A few minutes sufficed to demon
strate that the owner of the abandoned
hat was not among those present,
which fact, coupled with the doorkeep
er's averment that Mr. Bailey Ptmtield
was not. persuaded P. Sybarite that
the former was neither more nor less
than the proprietor of this gaming
house.
Hut this conclusion perturbed him.
ile couldn't imagine either Miss Los
sing or Miss Marian IUessingtou in any
way involved with a common or even
proper gambler.
His tour brought him finally to a
pause by the roulette table in the rear
of the room. Curious to watch the
game in being, he lingered there.
There were perhaps half a dozen play
ers round the board, four on one wing,
two on the other. Of the latter one
was that very young man who had
been responsible for I. Sybarite's
change of mind with regard to going
home. With a bored air this prodigal
was frittering away five dollar notes
on the colors, the columns and the doz
ens, his ill success stupendous, his ap
parent indifference whether he won or
lost positively magnificent. Put in the
course of the few minutes that P.
Sybarite watched him he either grew
weary or succeeded in emptying his
pockets and ceased to play.
I. Sybarite was shocked to hear his
own voice.
"Five on the red," it said distinctly,
with an effect of extravagant apathy.
A thought later he caught the crou
pier's eye and drove the wager home
with a nod. His heart stopped heating.
Five dollars: All he had in the
world.
The whir of the deadly little ball in
its ebony runway was like nothing less
than the exultant shriek of a banshee.
"Three, red" the croupier began his
chant.
P. Sybarite failed to hear the rest.
The croupier tossed him a chocolate
token. He was conscious that he
touched it with numb and witless fin
gers, mechanically pushing it upon the
red diamond.
Ensued another awful, soul sicken
ing minute of suspense.
Twenty-five, red"
A second brown chip appeared mag
ically on top of the first. P. Sybarite
regarded them stupidly. Afraid to
touch them, his brain communicated
to his hand the impulse to remove the
chips ere it was too late, but the hand
hung moveless in listless mutiny.
"Thirty-four, red"
Two more chips were added to his
stack.
And this time his brain sulked. If
his body wouldn't heed its plain and
sagacious admonition very well: It
just wouldn't bother itself to signal
any further advice.
P.ut quite instinctively his hand
moved out. tenderly embraced the four
brown chips aud transferred them to
the green area dominated by the black
diamond.
"Twelve, black"
Forty dollars was represented by
that stunted pillar of brown wafers!
P. Sybarite experienced an effect of
comiug to bis senses after an abbre
viated and, to tell the truth, somewhat
nightmarish nap. Aping the manner
of one or two other players whom he
had observed before this madness pos
sessed him, he thrust the chips out of
the charmed circle of chance aud nod
ded again (with whut'a seasoned air!;
to the croupier.
"Cash or chips?' inquired that func
tionary. "Oh, cash, thank you."
The chips gathered into the company
of their brethren. Two twenty dollar
bills replaced them.
Stuffing these last into his pocket, P.
Sybarite turned and strolled indiffer
ently toward the door.
"Better get away lefore it's too late,"
intelligence counseled.
"Right you are," he admitted fairly.
"I'll go home now before anytody
takes this away from me."
"Sensible of you." intelligence ap
proved. "Still," suggested the small, but clear
voice of greed before be could gain the
head of the stairs, "you've got your
original $3 yet to lose. Be a sport.
Don't go away without turning in a
cent to the house. It wouldn't look
pretty."
"There's something in that," admit
ted P. Sybarite.
Nevertheless he never quite under
stood how it was that his feet carried
him to the other roulette table at the
end of the room opposite that at which
he had been playing or how It was
that his fingers produced one of the
twenty dollar notes rather than the
modest five he had meant to risk and
coolly handed it over the lward.
"How many?"' asked the new crou
pier pleasantly.
Before he could make up his mind
exactly twenty white counters were
meted out to him.
"What are these worth?" he demand
ed incredulously, dropping into a chair.
"One dollar each." he was informed.
"Indeed'" he replied, politely smoth
ering a slight yawn.
To save his face now he'd have to
po through his twenty. But after that
exit.
He made this promise to himself.
Trying a single chip apart from its
fellows, he tossed it heedlessly upon
the numbered squares. It landed upon
Its rim. rolled toward the wheel and
feinted gracefull-v upon the green com
partment numered (X.
The croupier cocked an syebrow at
him, as if questioning his intention at
the instant the ivory ball began to sing
its one long sustained note. Abruptly
it was chattering; in another instant it
was still.
'The double 0," announced a voice.
A player next P. Sybarite swore soul
fully. Thirty-five white chips were stacked
alongside the winning stake. With un
becoming haste I'. Sybarite removed
them.
"Well," he sighed privately, "there's
one thing certain this can't last. But
I don't like to seem a piker. I'll just
make sure of this one. It can't win.
And at that I'm $13 in."
Deliberately he shifted the nineteeu
remaining of bis original stack to keep
company with his winning chip on the
double 0.
A minute or so later the man at his
ellow said excitedly: "I'll le hanged if
it didn't, repeat: Can you beat that?"
I. Sybarite stared stupidly.
"How's that?" he said.
"Double 0," the croupier answered,
"the second time."
"This is becoming uncanny." I. Syb
arite observed to himself, and "Cash"
said he. with cold derision.
Seven new hundred dollar certificates
were placed in his hand. In a daze lie
counted, folded and iocketed them.
While thus engaged he heard the ball
spin again. His original $20 remained
upon the double 0. Ten turned up.
His stake was gathered in.
"You've had enough," Intelligence ad
vised. "Perfectly true," r. Sybarite ad
mitted. This time his anatomy proved per
fectly docile. He found himself at the
foot of the steps, fatuously smiling at
the doorkeeper.
"He ain't come in yet," said the lat
ter, "but he's liable to be here any
minute now."
"Oh, yes," snid P. Sybarite brightly
after a brief pause "Mr. reufield, of
course. Sorry 1 can't wait."
"Well, you'll want your hat before
you go, won't you?"
Placing an incredulous hand upon the
crown of his head, P. Sybarite realized
that it was covered exclusively with
hair.
"I must have put it down some
where upstairs," he murmured in
panic.
. "Mebbe you left it with Pete before
you went up."
"Perhaps I did."
Turning back to the lounge, he en
tered to find it deserted save for the
somnolent old gentleman and the hos
pitable rete. but for whose drinks P.
Sybarite would probably never have
known the delirious joy of internal
celebration or found the courage to risk
his first bet.
And suddenly the fifty cent tip pre
viously bestowed upon the servitor
seemed to one unexpectedly fallen heir
to the princely fortune then in P. Syba
rite's iockets the very nadir of beggar
liness. "Pete." said he with owlish gravity,
"I begin to see that I have done you
an inexcusable injustice."
Giggling, the negro scratched his
head.
"Well, sub," he admitted. "Ah finds
that gemmun gen'ly does change they
ruin's erbout me aftuh they done cut or
melon like."
With the air of an emperor P. Syba
rite presented the negro with one 5-0
bill.
"And now" he cut short a storm
of thanks "if -you'll be good enough
to frive me just one more srlass of cham
pagne I think 111 totter home."
'Yas-suhr
In a twinkling a glass was in his
hand. As if it were so much water in
short, indifferently P. Sybarite tossed
it off.
"And my hat."
"Yo' hat?' Pete iterated in surprise.
"Yo didn't leaf yo' hat wif me, suh.
Yo' done tak it wif yo' when yo' went
upstahs."
"Oh!" murmured P. Sybarite, dashed.
He ttrrned to to door, hesitated,
turned back and solemnly sat himself
down,
"77Pete, tU He. extending his right
foot. "I wish you'd do something for
me."
"Yassuh!"
"Take off my shoe."
Staring with naive incredulity until
his vision assured him of this gentle
man's complete seriousness, the negro
plumped down upon his knees, unlaced
nud removed the shoe.
"It's a shocking shoe," observed P.
Sybarite dreamily.
Bending forward, he tucked his orig
inal five dollar note into the toe of the
despised footwear.
"I am not going home broke." he ex
plained to Pete, "as I certainly shall if
I go uistairs to find my hat."
"I'd ist as leave's not go fetch yo'
hat," said Pete.
"You needn't bother," P. Sybarite re
turned, with dignity.
