Cup ) right , 1003 , by
7. Doty
By birth n gentleman , by force of clr-
icumstnnces a jnck of nil trades , by pro-
V fesslon n raconteur !
Such was my record when I arrived
, in England , whither the fame of mysteries
stories had preceded me. Almost di
rectly received a letter from Lord
Brovrcr -Tontowcrs castle , In Surrey ,
'requesting mo to come down to his
place , as ho was entertaining a largo
Jiouse party.
The castle , founded as a monastery ,
Tvas a most roumnllc pile , representing
In Us various towers- mid wings a sue-
"Cession of architectural periods. Its
innze of winding corridors and hidden
stairways suggested mystery tfnd In
vited cxploiatlon.
My Initial appearance before Lord
Brower's guests was to be at dinner ,
f and 1 spent the last moments before
leaving my apartment In reading over
the list of topics I had Jotted down for
use dm Ing the evening. A racimtet/r
Is expected to fill In every lull , every
dull moment. Suddenly tncto fell upon
the quiet of my room these wouls :
" \Ve \ must' run It up to n.OQO tonlghtl
Do von bciu ? Wo must ! "
I stared round the looin. It seemed
ns If the sound had come through homo
dull tapestry In a small alcove. Per
haps the tapestry covered n secret door ,
P but there was no time to Investigate.
A resplendent footman was waiting to
conduct me to Lord P.rower's presence.
An Interesting lot they were gathered
V around the dinner table of Tentowers
castle that night that Is , they were In
teresting to me as types for study. As
conversationalists they were failures ,
for the only subjects on which they
talked fluently were cards and horse
flesh.
I selected my stories accordingly.
The guests were apparently familiar
with the customs of Monte Carlo , but
I told them tales of our own wild west ,
of games of faro and poker that fairly
made them gasp , and after dinner I
must tench them our national game of
chance.
Sitting opposite me at table was n
broad shonldciud , daik man , whose
eyes , black ami set rather close togeth
er , novcr left my face. His llpw were
thin and bloodless , and his long , rather
aquiline nose had a cnid curve aboiit
the nostrils. Hut what most attracted
jTny attention was bis odd trick of
drunjuilm * almost , constantly' with lite
right hand , now on the table , ndw on
the arm of his chair and now on his
square1 chin. The iustnut he spoke I
' recognized tUe voice buck of the tnj > e.s-
-try"In uiy room. His name wa Cap
tain Mau'liaml. ' "
Ills wife feat at my light , n handsome
V woman , wjth a profusion of heft brow n
p -hair and'benntiful blue eyes , which , I
t' learned In a .short time , were playing
imvoc with the mental peace of a young
fellow named Chadwlck , who " "was
plainly jealous of every smile t'lie lady
wasted on m'e. lie was a handsome ,
* boyish looking fellow , one of the e
r chaps who imagine themselves violent
ly in love with every pretty face they
\meet.
Mrs. Marchnnd seemed to have
caught.her husband's pec'illar trick of I
beating tlijit devilifah tattoo' with her
'fingers. It falily got my nerves on
'edge , but no one else nt the table ap
peared' to notice it. I caught myself
recalling stories of telegraph operators
who continued their work automatical
ly after olllce hours , but surely these
, two' ' guests of an English aristocrat
. knew nothing of a trade. In the course
of my eventful and uncertain life I had
been an operator fern shoit peilod.
After the ladles had wlthdiann I
told my choicest stag stories , to which
the men drank freely , and by the time
we rose to enter the drawing room it
can be truthfully said that Captain
Mjiuclinml and myself were the only
men who were { .hproughly . sober. '
Dm ing the next 'hour I Van kept
busy explaining the intilcacie.s of pok
er , after which I watched the guests
yield to the fascination of the game.
Soon little pilojj of sovereigns and notes
appeared and disappeared at the vail-
ous tables ; Excitement grew apace ,
and the very faces of the p'nyers were
tiansfoimed. The greed of gain was
upon them. It was my first glimpse..of
the Engllbh aristocrat at his private
gaming table.
' 5V Finally Interest centered at the table
where fare-hand-and young Chadwlck
held forth alone. At the beginning
Chadwlck hud won , and with a triun- )
plmnt gcstuje lie wajiltl haul In his lit
tle pile of pold. The liquor had brought
a eparkltt to hUr eye nud daring to hltr
tongue , for he kept Mrs , ' M.m'hnnd
close to his skle , ( ieulm Ing her to be his
mascot and casting , snch languishing
glances into hurpoifict blue eyes that
I womluc'd at Captain Marehnnd's
cnli.uu s.yiien Chadwlck won , ehu
clappul lu'f hands In glillsh glee , and
oiiio or twice I caught a cynical snijle
on Mnrchnnd's lips. Cleat ly her pres
ence Mas going to Chad wick's head.
He played recklessly.
"I'll make It 1,000 ! " exclaimed the
captain.
A hush fell on the loom. Then rose
Mis. Marchaud's clear , sweet voice :
"How exciting ! Oh , Mr. Chadwlck ,
go him one better ! Make It 5.0001"
The other guests rose and gathered
round the table. Loul IJiower stood
on the hearth rug , glancing toward the
group with troubled eyes. I heard him
cay1 under his breath :
"Tho lad can't afford to lose that
amount"
I joined the spectators just , as Chad-
.fflck called for another card. Then I
felt n thrill pass over me. The bloof
rushed to my face , and Instinctively I
clinched my list.
Mrs. Marchand was gently tapping
the baek of Chadwlck's chair , but It
was no longer the tattoo of an absentminded -
minded Individual , Each tap meant
something. She was telegraphing
Chadwlck'a hand to her husband I
My llrnt Impulse was to denounce
them then and there , but what \\ng the
word of n hired entertainer against
that of distinguished RUOUR , people of
roclal standing , as any of Lord Brow-
cr's friends must be ? Then cnmo the
Inspiration. With something of. the
captain's cynical pmlle , I , too , com
menced to drum on the back of n chair ,
and this was what reached the startled
couple :
"You are caught I"
The captain turned.rigid ns he grasp
ed the arms of his chair , and for n sin
gle Instant his eyes , expressing rage ,
hate and fear , met mine. I smiled
grimly , enjoying the situation. The
coup had a different effect on Mrs.
Marchand. She fainted away , at which
the captain's composure returned. He
sprang to her rescue , and the table was
overturned.
When Mrs. Mnrclmnd recovered , the
guests clamored for the finish of the
game , but Mnrchand shook his head ,
perhaps b'eenuse I drummed a rhyth
mic warning , "Don't play ! "
I sat In my room an hour later , cogi
tating whether I should Inform Lord
Rrower that he was entertaining n pair
of clever tilcksters , when n servant
brought me a message from Marchand
asking an Interview In his room. I
found him waiting for me with an
ugly hcowl on his face , but his wife ,
pale and with her hair In artistic dis
array , was charming In her new role of
beauty In distress.
Maielmnd came directly to the point.
"Well , what do you Intend to do ? "
"Nothing , " I replied nonchalantly.
"It Is your play. If you and your
charming wife are suddenly summoned
to London tomorrow , the matter ends.
Otherwise I think Lord Browcr"
I shrugged my shoulder significantly.
"And , by the way , It might be Just
as well If you refunded to Chadwlck
the money you've won since he's been
playing with you. "
"And then ? "
Madam's hands were working nerv
ously.
"And then I shall have one more good
after dinner story to tell when I re
turn to America ; that is all. Lord
Browcr shall never know. "
"You are very generous , " replied the
lady , will ) tears In her eyes. "You can
' have no Idea to what straits we , my
1
hu l < and and I , have been driven. " Shu
\\i\s \ pli.\lng her p.nt well. "We wciv
inM'd to Imp the good tilings of life ,
liotli thought the other had money , and
both have made the best of a bad bar
gain.Ve Line lived upon the losers of
our aristocratic friends until wo met
you , and now"
With n well simulated sob she nowed
her head aiiioug the pillows. Captain
Marchand rose and opened thu door.
His politeness was clabniate.
"You will paidon Mrs. Marchaud'rf
lack of self control. As you pay , I
think a trip to London Is what she
needs , what v e both need. Good night ,
my clear sir. " '
1 stepped backward toward the door
which he held open , my glance , which
I know must have held some amuse
ment at the clover acting of his wife ,
still flM-d oa the weeping lady. Thoii'
suddenly I felt myself" going down ,
down. I clutched at space , and from
abov me came a mocking laugh. Then
n i > ! .a blinding light In my eyes ,
nml Liaekness !
When I woke , dim rays of light pen
etrated into a slimy cellar where I lay ,
pvictlrally a prisoner , for one leg wai
broken and I was biulsed fiom head to
foot. Hats ran along the ledges In the
masonry , and bats hung fiom the raft
ers above.
It must have been hours before help
came to me , but 1 lost all reckoning of
time. When at last I was carried to
my loom and medical nld was summon
ed , I leained from Loul Urower that
my being alive was nothing short of a
miracle. I had fallen three illghts Into
a stone dungeon , one of the numer
ous pitfalls which abounded In this
aiH-ient pile. The captain had skillfully
guided me to the secret door which was
onu of his characteristic discoveries.
Lord P.iowcr heard with amazement
my talc of their treachery and trickery ,
but the scandal never became public.
British prlile stepped in at this point ,
the deeply annoyed master of Tentow
ers making ample reparation for my
loss of lime.anil sulTeilng. And the
only nason for telling of the story Is
that during my recent tilp to London
I lecognlHc-d In one of the reigning
stage beauties Mis. Captain Marehand ,
who once U'.egraphed ' a poker hand to
her fellow trickster at Tentowers cas
tle.
Scfiwo of Duty.
A most Interacting anecdote ot Wellington
"
lington , "illustrating thn high ssn e of
duty in fill things , Is told on the au
thority of thti.dulte's housekeeper at
Wnlmer cnjtflg. Th $ lm t > blue book of
SOO pages onjho etnOIeq and discipline
oLthe UnhVrslty of o'xford had been
sent to him ite chancellor. He was en-
ffUKOd on it the night before his death ,
lie was onjr ! to bed , as It was late.
Ile-left the blue book , with his pencil
In It , and Hnld to Lord Charles Wellesley -
ley , who xvns wlth'lTlm , . "I shall never
get thiough It , Charles , but I must
work on. "
DrlKlit PronpoclH.
We don't all look at questions of eth
ics In the same way. A young English
traveler In Valencia became enamored
of a gjpsy girl , but told the mother
that ho was not rich enough to marry
her , The mother laughed and said ;
"JVhnt ! Not rich enough In the laud of
guineas ? Why , with so accomplished a
thief us my daughter you will bo a mil
lionaire In a twelvemonth ! "
THE MEXICAN EDITOR.
It In Very HUMKor Him to ( lot Ittln
St'rlottn Trimble ,
The newspaper laws of Mexico nro
very stringent. If atiy person IH men
tioned In a newspaper ai tide and feels
offended about It , he can easily send
the editor of the paper and the writer
of the article to prison. The state
ments may have been far wltt.ln the
limits of truth and justice , but that
milkefl no difference. The editor In
communicado hail a chance to think
about the law , and the aggrieved per
son smiles pleasantly. After awhllo
tlic law gets In Its work , the case Is In
vestigated , and the editor Is punished ,
for even the truth Is llbelous , and libel
Is one of the offenses most severely
condemned.
According to the theory of the Mexi
can law , every person has a right to go
about entirely free from annoyance by
other persons. If the person violates
the law , the newspaper has no right to
Bay so. It can lay Information before
the courts If It wants to , but It must
not say In Its columns that It has done
so. Then the law will step In and take
charge of the offender , but thu repre
sentatives of the paper will not be al
lowed to attend the trial , and only the
bare result , after weeks of waiting ,
can be told to the public.
If the offense charged against the ed
itor Is regarded by the first magistrate
to whom the complaint Is made as be
ing especially grave , the paper is gen
erally suppressed. The complaint has
been received and passed upon. Then
n squad of police descends upon the
printing olllce. Sometimes all the em
ployees are arrested , sometimes only
the editor , Then the doors of the
building arc closed , olllcial seals are
placed upon them , and n guard Is sta
tioned to see that no one tries to en
ter. For three days the editor can do
nothing. The laws under which he Is
arrested are modeled after those of the
code Napoleon , and for three days he
is held Incommunicado , while the au
thorities hunt up evidcA c. Then he
Is given a hearing. In tlic meantime
his paper has been suppressed , and In ,
many cases It never comes to life again , |
oven though the editor may eventually
clear himself of all blnnie. Pittsburg
