PROLOGUE,
"it breaks the speed limit to
smithereens."
That's a candid opinion about
this story. There may have
been swifter tales, but 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
will enjoy learning how the little
spunky red headed bookkeeper
won a fortvne 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.

OW is it?" I. Sybarite asked
soIicitoulv of the boy hud-
ed in his corner of the
cab.
"Aches." replied the other better
his teeth.
""Where am I to take you?"
"Home t!ie Monastery Forty-third,
street."
"RacheJor apartment?"
"Yes; I herd by my lonesome."
"Praises be!" muttered P. Sybarite,
relieved. And win!.; he was about it
he took time briefly to offer up thanks
that the shock of his wound seemed to
have sobered the boy completely.
Opening the dour, he craned his neck
out to establish communication with
the ar of the chauffeur, to whom Le
repeated the add res, adding an admo
nition b avoid the .Monastery until
certain he h::d shaken off pursuit, if
any. and dodged back.
"No Letter. I presume?" P. Sybarite
inquired.
"Not so"s you'd notice it." the boy re
turned bravely. "Where are we?"
. Sybarite to-.k olo!-vatio:is.
"Forty-seventh, near Sistc avenue,"
lie reported. "How did you fret into
this niesi?"
"Jut by way of being a natural borr
ass."
"Oh. well! K it comes to that, I ad
mit it's none of my business"
"The deuce it isn't! After all you've
iMH; for me! Good Lord. man. where
would I be"
"Sleeping the sl.-op of the doped in
fiii:;e filthy turner of Dutch House,
most likefy."
"I wasn't meaning to stay without
o fight."'
"Then you weren't as drunk as you
Feemed?"
"Didn't you cntcli me making a move
the minute you created a diversion?
Of course, I'd no idea you were friend
ly" "Look here." I. Sybarite interrupted.
"What has Rrd November got on you
to make him so anxious?"
"Nothing as far as I know, unless it
was P.rian Shaynon's !oing"
"A-ahl"
"Friend of yours?"
"Not exactly."
The nc-ernt of p. Sybarite'?, laugh
'rendered the disclaimer conclusive.
"Clad to hear that." said the boy
gravely. "I'd despise to be beholden to
r.ny friend of his."
"What's the trouble tetween you and
oM man Shaynon?"
"Search me unless le thought I was
spying on him. Wunt business couVd
lie have had with Red November there
tonight?"
"That is a question," P. Sfjbnrite al
lowed. "Something urgent. I'll be 'bound

I know." said I. Sybarite, with a
quiet chuckle, "the lladley-Owen mas
querade." "How did you know."
"Kisuiet! It had to be. But we're
here."
The taxieab was drawing up before
an apartment house entrance.
Hastily recovering his hoard of gold
pieces. I. Sybarite jumped out and pre
sented one to tLe driver.
"Can't change that." said the latter,
staring. "Besides, this was a charge

'."I know." said P. Sybarite, "but th's
is for you for being a good little tight
mouth."
.'"Forever and ever, amen!" protested
the latter fervently. "And thank, you!

"I can manage." protested this last,
descending without assistance. "I
don't want the hallboys here to sus
pect, and I can bold up. never fear."
A liveried hallboy opened the door,
while a second waited in the elevator.
Promptly ascending, without delay they
were set down at one of the upper
, floors.
Throughout this transit the boy car
ried himself with never a quiver. To
the elevator loy he said:
"By the way. Jimmy"
"Sir?"
"Call up Dr. Hisgins for me. Tell
him I've an attack of indigestion and
will be glad if he'll turn out and see
if he. can fix me up for the night."
"Very good. Mr. Kenny."
The gate clanged, and the cage drop
ped from sight as Mr. Kenny opened
his rooms and switched up the lights
in a comfortably furnished sitting
room.
A very little snipping and slashing
sufficed to do away with the shoulder
and sleeve of the boy's coat and to lay
open his waistcoat as well, exposing a
bloodstained shirt. And then at the
Instant when P. Sybarite was noting
with relief that the stain showed both
In back and in front the telephone
thrilled.
"If yon don't mind answeriug that,"
grrunteo, .Mr. ivemiy.
P. Sybarite was already at the in
strument. "Yes," he answered. "Is this Dr.
niggius?"
"Sorry, sir." replied a strange voice.
"Dr. Higgins isn't in yet. Any mes
sage ?"'
"Tell him Mr. Kenny needs him at
the Monastery and the matter's urgent.
Doctor not in." he reported superfiu
:rs!y. returning to cut away collar, tie,
shirt and undershirt. "Never mind. I
shouldn't be surprised If we could do
without him after all. I'm beginning
to hope you've had a marvelously nar
low escape."
"Feels like it." said Kenny ironically.
P. Sybarite withheld response while
f!e made close examination. At the
base of Mr. Kenny's neck, well above
the shoulder blade, dark blood was
welling slowly from an ugly puncture.
And in front there was a correspond
ing puncture, but smaller. And pres
ently his deft and gentle fingers, ex
ploring the folds of the boy's under
shirt, closed upon the bullet itself.
"I don't believe." he announced, dis
playing his find, "you deserve such
luek. Somehow you managed to catch
this just right for it to slip through
without either breaking bone or sever
ing artery."
"I told you I wasn't so badly hurt"
'God's good to the Irish. Where's
your bathroom?"
With a gesture Kenny indicated its
location.
"And handkerchiefs"
"Upper bureau drawer in the bed
room." In a twinkling I. Sybarite was off
and back again with materials for an
antiseptic wash and a rude bandage.
"Ilow'd you know I was Irish?"
"By yoursilf's name," quoth P. Syb
arite in a thick brogue as natural as
grass, while he worked away busily.
"'Tis blick Irish, and well I know it.
'Twas me mither's maiden name
Kenny. She had a brother, Michael he
was. and bw way av leiu" a rich con
thractor in this very town as ever was
be f ure he died God list his sowl! He
left two children a young leddy who
misspells her name M-a-e A-l-y-s
keep still! and Peter, yersilf, me
cousin, if it's not mistaken I am."
"The Lord save, us!" said the boy.
"You're never Percy Sybarite!"
T. Sybarite winced. "Not So loud!"
he pleaded in a stage whisper. "Some
one might hear you."
"I say, what have you been doing
with yourself since since" he stam
mered. "Siuee the fall of the house of Syb
arite." "Yes. I didn't know you were in
New York even."
"Your mother and Mae Alys knew
it. but kept it quiet, the same as me."
said the little man. "But yourself?
How long are you out of college?"
"A year not quite."
"What were you doing in Dutch
House tonight?"
"Well." Peter Kenny confessed sheep
ishly, '"I'm in lore"
"And you proposed to her tonight at
the ball?"
"Yes, and"
"She refused you."
"Yes, but"
"So you decided to do the manly
thing go out and get drunk?"
"It wasn't as if she'd left me any
excuse to hope, but she told me flatly
Fhe didn't care for me."
"That's bad. Peter. Forgive my ill
timed levity. I didn't mean It meanly,
boy," P. Sybarite protested sincerely.
"It's worse than you think," Peter
compluined. "I can stand her not car
ing for me. Why should she?"
"Why. indeed?"
"It's because she's gone and prnm
Iseel to marry Bayard Shaynon."
Sybarite looked dazed. .
"She's gone and promised to marry
Bayard Shaynon."
"She? Bayard Shaynon? Who's the
Sirl?"
"Marian Blessington. Why do you
ask? Do you know her?"
There was a pause. P, Sybarite
blinked furiously.
"I've heard that name." he said quiet
ly, at length. "Isn't she old Brian's
ward the girl who disappeared re
cently?" "She didn't disappear, really. She's
been staying with friends told me so
herself. That's all the foundation the
paper had for its story." f
"Of course." P. Sybarite said me
chanically. "And she told you she
meant to marry Bayard Shaynon!"
"She said she'd promised. And that."
the boy broke out. "was what drove
me crazy. He's he's well, you know
what he is."
"His father's son," said I. Sybarite
gloomily.
"He was there tonight the old man
too. And, after what Marian had told
me, I Just couldn't trust myself to
meet or speak to either of them. So I
bolted back here, took a stiff drink,
changed from costume to these clothes
and went out to make a besotted ass
of myself. Naturally I aimed for
Iutch House. And there the first
thing I noticed when I went in was
old Shaynon sitting at the same table
you took. I spoke to him. but he
wouldn't recognize me simply glared.
Presently lied November came in. and
they went upstairs together. So I
stuck around, hoping to get hold of
Ited and make him drunk enough to
talk. Curiously enough, when Shay
non left Bed came directly to my table
and sat down. But by that time I'd
had some champagne on top of whis
ky, and when he tried to insist on my
drinking more I got scared, feeling
what I'd had as much as I did."
"There's some sort of shenanigan
brewing or my first name's Peter, the
same a yours which I wish it was so.
Be quiet a bit and leave me think."
For a little while P. Sybarite sat pon
dering with vacant eyes.
"What time does this Hadlcy-Owen
party break up?"
"Not till daylight."
"That settles it. I'm going. You
say you've got a costume of some sort
here? I'll borrow it."
"Heaven Knows you're welcome,
but"
"But what?"
"You have no invitation."
Rising, p. Sybarite smiled loftily.
"Don't worry about that. I've an open
sesame in my pocket to cajole almost
any door iu New York."
Late enough in all conscience was
the last guest to arrive for the Hadlcy
Owen masquerade.
Already town cars, carriages and
private busses were being called for
and departing witli ilieir si. are ot tu
more seasoned and suiter sided revel
ers. More and more frequently the ele
vators, empty but for their attendants,
were flying r.p to the famous ballroom
floor of the Bizarre, to descend heavy
laden with languid, laughing parties
of gayly costumed ladies and no less
brilliantly attired gentlemen prince
and pauper, empress and shepherdess,
cavalier and monk, milkmaid and
mountebank: all weary yet reluctant
In their going.
And at this hour a smallish gentle
man, in an old style Inverness opera
coat that cloaked' him to his ankles,
with an opera hat set jauntily a wee
bit .askew on his head, a mask of
crimson silk covering his face from
brows to lips, slipped silently like
some sly. sinister shadow, through the
Fifth avenue portals of the Bizarre.
All the cars were still at the top. ac
cording to the bronze arrows of their
telltale dials. The late arrival held up
patiently, but. after an instant's de
liberation, doffed his hat, crushed It
flat, slipped out . of bis voluminous
cloak and beckoned a. liveried .attend
ant. In the costume thus disclosed he cut
an impish figure. "Satan on the half
shell." Peter Kenny had christened
aim.
A dress coat of black satin fitted P.
Sybarite more neatly than him for
whom It had been made. For bout en -niere
he wore a smoldering ember so

self hesitated to touch it. - a 5
Literally to crown all. his ruby liair
was twisted upward from each temple.
In a cornuted fashion that was most ,
vividly picturesque.
"nere." he said, surrendering hat
and coat to the servitor before the lat
ter could remonstrate, "take and check
these for me, please. I shan't be going
frome tfrr!?'yet.;v---
."Sorry, sir. but the,clouk rooin.down
'ere's closed, sir. You'll have to check
them on the ballroom floor."
"No matter." said the little man. and.
groping in a pocket he produced a dol
lar bill Hiid tendered it to ready fin
gers, "yon keep 'em for me down here.
It'll save time when I'm ready to go."
"Very good. sir. Thank you." And
P. Sybarite ascended to the ballroom.
Pausing in the anteroom, he struck
an artificial pose on his high red heels
and stroked thin, satiric lips with slen
der fingers, reviewing the crush with
eyes that glinted light' hearted malice
through the scarlet vizor: seeking a
certain one and finding her not among
these many about him their gay ex
otic trappings half - bidden beneath
wraps of modern convention they had
assumed against impending departure.

WAR SUMMARY
Again the status of the warfare on the
long line in France remains un
changed, according to the official re.
port of the French war office.
In the eastern war zone the Russians
report that they are still pursuing
the retreating Austrian in Galicia.
while on the German front the Ger.
man and Russian armies are in clos
contact. A news agency dispatch is authority
for the statement that the Germans
have entrenched and mined the ap.
proaches to Brussels and also are
fortifying the region around Ath.
northwest of Mons, to prevent the
Belgians falling on the Germans,
should a retreat from France be
forced.
In reply to Germany's protest aqainst
China's violation of neutrality by
permitting Japanese troons to land
on its soil, China said it was unable
to defend its neutrality.
A German official report says the Rus
sians lost , in the battles near Tan
nenberg 150.0C0 men killed and 90,
000 captured.
British aeroplanes have invaded Ger.
many and dropped bombs on a Zep
pelin airship hangar at Dusseldorf.
An official statement issued in Berlin
says that the German art commis
sion for Belgium reports that all art
works and monumental buildings in
Louvain and Liege were saved dur
ing the recent German bombard
ments. Paris, Sept. 24. The French official
communicatscn says:
"There has betn no change in the
situation since the last communication.
"The Latt!e which ia in progress
along the Aisue has extended over
eight days, but it should cause no sur
prise if one recalls the Russo-Japanese
war.
"The battle of the Marne was an ac
tion undertaken in the open field,
which uegan with a general resump
tion of the offensive by the trench
army against the enemy who did not
expect it and had not time seriously to
organize defensive positions. The
same cannot be said of the battle of
the Aisue. where the adversary, who
was retreating, stopped and took po
sitions, which by the naturo of the
ground are very substantial iu them
selves in many places and which lie
has been able gradually to improve
as to organization.
"This battle of the Aisne, therefore,
rresents cn a large part of its front
the character of war by assault sim
ilar to the operations In MancLurla.
"It might be added that the excep
tional power of the artillery facing
each other the heavy (It-rmsn F.'ins
against the French 7.5 centimeter can
rcn gives a value to the temporary
fortifications which the two adver
saries have drawn up.
"The task is therefore, to tale
wliole rows of entrenchments, cocli
nne pro'ected by very clo.-;o defenses,
particularly rows "of barbed wire,
with mitrailleuses in concealed po
sitions. "In these circumstances pro:rre-:s of
pecessity mu-t be slow. It often hap
p.ens that the progress of the attacks
only amounts to from 500 meters to
one kilometer a day."
Seeking to Turn German Right.
Tendon. Sept. 21. The battle of ibe
Aisne seems to he waiting on the out
come of the attempt of the allied
forces to outflank the German right
wing. At any rate, the French official
report, while it speaks of an advance
rr.pdo by tl; allies' left in the region
of IvasL,fgti1-and unofficial reports say
that this adance was of eighteen kilo
meters (about twelve miles), simply
records the repulse of several violent
attacks by the Germans and the fact
that elsewhere the situation remains
ttnehanged. ?.Ii!it?ry experts, however,
wain the public not to ignore the Ger
man efforts to force the French bar
iter chain at Its more assailable points.

Gorman front the Russian troops are
in close contact with the enemy, but
no battle h;:s taken place."
FRENCH TELLS OF FIGHTING
General Writes Account of Operations
In France.
London, Sept. 21 The following de
scriptive account of the operations of
the British army in northeastern
France, written by "General French,
has been issued by the war office:
"So far as the British are concerned,
the greater part cf this week has been
passed in bombardment, in gaining
ground by degrees and in beating back
severe counter attacks with heavy
slaughter. Our casualties have been
severe, but it is probable that those of
the enemy are heavier.
"On our right and left the French
have been fighting fiercely and have
also been gradually gaining ground.
One village already during this battle
has been captured and recaptured
twice by each side and at the time of
writing remains in the hands of the
Germans.
"The fighting has been at close
quarters and of the most desperate na
ture and the streets of the villas j are
filled with the dead of both sides.
"The Germans are a forrmdible en
emy, well trained, long prepared and
brave. Their soldiers are carrying on
the content with skill and valor. Nev
ertheless they are fighting to win any
way. regardless of all the rules rf fair
play, and thero is evidence that they
do not hesitate at anything in order
to gain victory."

of British Cruiser Cressy Goes Down
With His Vessel.
London, Sept. 24. According to a
message from Paris a Russian cruin r
has sunk a- German cruiser and tuo
torpedo boats in the Baltic.
' A Harwich dispatch s;:ys it is
learned lrom reliable sources that t ! i
death roll of the British cmi&ers
Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy will be
about 1,400.
Survivors explain that the disaster
happened in so brief a period of ttm-i
it seemed like a nightmare. One of
the crew of the Aboukir said he was
in the water about four hours. In his
opinion all the men between dec3
must have gone down with the thip.
He thought that for the last thno
weeks the submarine's of the enemy
had been observing the cruisers, wait
ing for a fine day to risk a torped i
she t at them. They must hae known
that the cruisers were patrolling thu
same waters for weeks and sc iii4
their opportunity, grasped it.
The canteen steward of the lligu:
was on the deck win n he heard an
explosion and saw the Aboukir with a
decided list. In a few moments thi
sea was doited with heads. The Iloguti
had just lowered boats when it re
ceived : blow whieh shoo the ship,
its stern seeming to go dow n. Then
periscope was seen, traveling very
quickly, and the British gun fired at it.
