ARTHUR W, MARCHMONT. (Author of "By Right of Sword," ete}.

:

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, APRIL OTH, 1910,

It would have been very difiloult for me at one time to have explained my feeling for Mollie Wentworth. I had known her as a child; for I had been her father's junior partner before I bad como into onough money to enable me to abandon business and devote myief to

There were nine years between and when hor father died, leaving her a considerable for- tane, she was Bfteen and I twonty fear; and the gap soomad a very wide one indeed. She went to live with her aunt, Mrs. Chasedale and as the latter was an old friend of mine, I saw a great deal of Mollie, who regarded me as a sort of older brother.

I was quits contented with that confidential relationship until John Maidstone cane sud told me he was going to marry her. I awoke to the truth then, and realised quife olearly the nature of my feelings. I loved her; and the news was to me like a sontence of loneliness for life had believed that I was wedded to my books! My books! As I looked round the crowded shelves after he had gone, every volume seemed to laugh at me in mockery of the empty fiction with which I had deluded myself.

I myself then expected an indignant denial from Mallis. But none came.

"I did not think you were so observant," sho Bald very quietly, and even smilingly.

I suppose we shan't play any more now,"

"Mollie! Do you mean that you admit all this?" cried Mailstone, greatly agitated now. "It's-it's cheating.

"Is it any use for me to deny it? Will you boliers me if I do?"

But you've impliedly admitted it. Toa can't treat it in this offhand way; really you can't...

"I don't take the same view of it as you Jack. believe me capable of such a thing, nothing else The question is what you believe. If you don't mattere at least to me. If you think I'm heat, well, and she threw up her hands and left the sentence unfinished.

"I-I don't know what to think," he mar mured, with a sigh of perplexity. "You don't even deny it."

This appeared to anger her. "Isit necessary that I should?" she retorted with a good deal of asperity.

"The thing can't rest where it is," he mattered anmasily, half under his breath.

"Wint do you say, Mr. Mellows P" aho asked turning again to me.

Yet I was not jealous. He was a handsome young follow, seven or eight years younger than 1, well-to-do, in the way to make a career at the bar, and enjoyed the good word of all who knew "I know you to be absolutely incapable of him. It was in ovary respect au excellent match,such a thing, Mellie; but if you know the and my congratulations were perfectly sincere. explanation I think you should tell us,"

I cared enough for Mollie to make her happiness Maidstone turned on me at this, apparently the first consideration in my thoughts.

glad to be able to avoid speaking directly to her. Someone has been oheating, Mellows. You'll admit that at any rate," he said in his mest lawyerlike tone.

I remember that his way of telling mo jarred somewhat. He put it that he was going to marry her; and the insistence upon the personal note was out of place and gave me a twinge of uneasiness. But then I am not a pushful person. I made another discovery, however that he had been philandering with Clarice Gratton; and the change to Mollie had been madavery abruptly. Moreover, Mollie was rich while Clarice had very little.

"I don't admit even that, Maidetone. The marks may or may not mean anything, and so for us—"

and showed them to us, and then placed the marked ones in it and returned it to her,

contemptuously to Maidstone, and threw open "You are satisfied now, perhaps," she said

Clarice hurried out at once, and Maidstone rose and paused, looking appealingly' at Mollie..

the courage to say so," and her eyes sparkled with indignation.

He paused. avoiding her gaze, and staring heavily in front of him,

"I don't wish to stop while this goes on," said Clarice, speaking for the first time for many minutos.

Molle took no notios of her. Tow, Jack?" she sail insistently.

"I don't know what to think. You offer no sort of explanation.

But I pat the suspicions aside as the distem- porn fancies of a bookworm; and when I saw that Mollie sewed proud of her handsome lover and very fond of him, I slipped easily enough into the position of genuine well-wisher to them both and thrust my own still-bern hopea right down into the bottom of my heart

Clarice accepted the position, also, with smil- in complacency, and remained one of Mollie's close friends. So matters stood one night few weeks after his engagement when i was at Mr. Chasedale's for the game of bridge which had become a weekly custom with us four.

Both girls were unusually sroited; Mollis especially being in the

Maidstone had a touch of the gam- bling fever in his blood, und readily jumped st the proposal; and as he and Mollie were partners, they won so largely that, fearing Chrice would be troubled by her losses, I threw out more than one suggestion that we should stop,

Mollie, howover, made some, rather nasty remark about stopping if Clarice

was afrail to go on; and, nettled by this, my partner de clared she would see the thing through. So on "This is between us two, Mr. Mellows, if you wo want.

s." She held wonderful cards, and when she had mado four or five tricks Clarice pushed back her chair and turned to her, hor face as white as the cards and her lips quivering with anger..

"I so now why I have lost," she exolaimed viciously. "Will you explain, or shall I P

Mollis had also changed colour, and the two stared at one another defiantly, What is there to explain?" she asked, her voice hard and her words clipped short in suger

"We have been ploying against marked cards, Mr. Mellows," said Clarice to me.

Clarion!"Miss Gratton "cried Maidstone and I in the same breath; literally aghast at the sconsation.

"It is true," declared Clarice deliberately. You can see for yourselves," and slie pointed at Mollie, who glanced quickly at us in turn, but did not speak,

Maidstone's face was a study. He had leaked for au indignant repudiation of the charge from Mollie, and when it did not come, a heavy frown gathered on his face, his features were set and stern and his hands alonched almost fiercely.

"Mollie," he appealed, in a low busky tone. She met his look for a moment steadily, and hop shragged her shoulders, You don't believe me capable of such a thing?" she asked. Her voice was steady, but her eyes full of con earn and troublo.

"You can see the marks on the cards," in terposed Clarice, before he had time to reply; and she turned some of them over. "This spot in the right hand corner is for the hearts, the two spots for diamonds, and so on," she added, holding up the cards as she spoke. The marks were there right enough. You will under stand now how it was easy to make the right declarations, and can appreciate her wonderful rum of luck." The pause before the last word and the ecorn with which she uttered it were aloquent of malice.

Maidstone examined the marks critically for

a few monents and then tossed the oards, on the table with a sigh, and sat back in his chair, the frown deeper than ever,

was preposterous.

Clarice got up then "Good-night, Mr. Mellows," she said, holding out her hand to me. But I took my one from Mollie and affected not to hear her.

"Jack" cried Mollio, quickly,

He was silent and shook his head and tossed up his hands with another heavy sigh,

Then only one thing remains," said Mollie, She drew off her engagement ring and laid it on the table. You would not marry a girl you believe to be a cheat, nor I a man who could believe we one, Mr. Maidstone will see -you-home," she added turning to Clarice

Mollie! You don't mean this. I would- n't." He stopped abruptly as he met the look in her eyes.

At that moment Claries moved towards the door; but Mollie was first to reach it and set her back against it.

Let me go at once. I do not care to be in such company as yours," snoored Clarice, nu- grily

Yon will not be in it long," repliad Mollie with quiet contempt. "I have already said that you and Mr. Maidstone shall leave together, Bat before you go, give me back my own pack of cards," and she held out her hand for them. I understood then, and so I think did Maid- stone, for he winced and raised his hands like man who had been struck and stared at the two girls in amazement.

Mollie did not use look at him.

I don't pretend to understand you," said Ularice, with a suer and a shrug,

The pretence has been mine, not yours," was Mollie's retort. Will you give them up quietly or compel me to charge you with stoal ing them? We must have the truth now. Mr. Mellows, you are with me in this, I know." And you can now sed the trick which has been played ou mo nuder the garb of friendship."

How dare you say such a thing," criod Clarice, still fall of fight.

"I was at your house to-day, as you know but, as you do not know, I saw thers the cards which you had begun to mark. I was struck by the fact that they were all of the same pattern. ne mine, and I half guessed what you intended to do.

I let the attempt go on, because I thought it world prove a valuable tast of the sincerity of his faith in me. It has," she said with samift- glance at him.

"Mollio!" he ozolsimed, but the appeal was unnoticed, and he dropped into a chair with a groan of fatile regret, as Mollio continued:
