said gVaveiy, “whose mind nest even
your soothing words could lighten.’’
Shopland had. risen unobtrusively
to his feet. He laid his hand sud
denly on Fairfax's shoulder and
whispered in his ear. Fairfax,
after his first start, seemed cool
•enough. He stretched out his hand
towards the glass which as ygt he
had not touched, covered It with
his fingers for a moment and drained
its contents. The gently sarcastic
smile left Sir Timothy’s lips. His
eyebrows met in a quick frown,
his eyes glittered.
“What Is the meaning of this?’’
he demanded sharply.
A policeman In plain clothes had
advanced from the door. The man
ager hovered In the background!
Shopland saw that all was well.
“It means,” he announced, “that
I hive Just arrested Mr. Robert
Fairfax here on a charge of will
ful murder. There Is a way out
through the kitchens. Take his
other arm, Holmes. Now, gentle
men. If you please.
There were a few bewildered ex
clamations—then a dramatic hush.
Fairfax had fallen forward on his
stool. He seemed to have col
lapsed Into a comatose state. Every
scrap of color was drained from
his sallow cheeks, his eyes were
covered with a film and he was
breathing heavily. The detective
snatched up the glass from which
the young man had been drinking,
and smelt it.
“I saw him drop a tablet in just
now.” Jimmy faltered. “I thought
It was one of the digestion pills he
uses sometimes.”
Shopland and the policeman
placed their hands beneath the arm
pits of the unconscious man. '
“He’s done, sir,” the former
whispered to Francis. “We’ll try
and 'get him to the station if we
can.” - : ......——---------------------

way to the police station. Yet the
sanm number of dinners were
dered and eaten the same
tlty of wine drunk. The manage*
ment considered that they hai
shown marvelous delicacy of feel
ing by restraining the orchestra
from their nsual musical gymnas
tics until after the service of din
ner. Conversation, in consequence,
buzzed louder than ever. One spec
ulation in particular absorbed the
attention of every single person in
the room—why had Bobby Fairfax,
at the zenith of a very successful
career, risked the gallows and ac
tually accepted death for the sake
of killing Victor Bidlake, a young
man with whom, so far as anybody
knew, he had no cause of quarrel
whatever? There were many the
ories, many people who knew the
real facts and whispered them
Into a neighbor’s ear, only to have
them contradicted a few moments
later. Yet, curiously enough, the
two men who knew most about
it were the most silent men in
the room, for each was dining
alone. Francis, who had remained
only In the hope that something of
the sort might happen, was con
scious of a queer sense of excite
ment when, with the service of
coffee, Sir Timothy, glass in hand,
moved up from a table lower down
and with a word of apology took
the vacant place by his side. It
was what he had desired, and yet
he felt a thrill almost ef fear at
Sir Timothy’s murmured words. He
felt that ho was in the company of
one who, If not an enemy, at any
rate had np friendly feeling towards
“My congratulations, Mr. Led
sam,” Sir Timothy said quietly.
ti You appear to have started your
career with a success.”
“Only a partial one,” Francis ac
knowledged, “and as a matter of
fact I deny that It I have started in
any new career. was easy enough
to make use of a fluke and direct
the intelligence of others towards
the right person, but when the real
significance of the thing still eludes
you, one can scarcely claim a
triumph.”
Sim Timothy gently knocked the
ash from the very fine cigar which
' be was smoking.
“Still, your groundwork was
good,” he observed.
Francis shrugged his shoulders.
“That,” be admitted, “was due to
chance.”
“Shall we exchange notes?” sir
Timothy be suggested gently. “It

“As you will,” Francis

night, as you know, with Andrew
Wllmore, and while he was order

friends, I went down to the Ameri

Daisy Ilyslop and Fairfax were
seated there alone and talking con

HELD IMMORAL
BY N. Y. JUDGE
New York, Oct. 31. —Earl Car
roll, theater owner and producer
of revues, was found guilty by
Magistrate Ryttenburg yesterday
of having “exhibited" lewd and
immoral pictures” in advertising
his production.
Placed under $300 bail to guar
antee his appearance in the court
of special sessions for trial, Car- !
roll announced he would not pro
duce it.
Won’t Produce Bail.
“I will compel the authorities
to lock me up in the Tombs,
where I will starve myself as a
protest agpinst being held,” he
said.
Carroll was arrested recently
after police had confiscated in the
lobby of his theater at Fiftieth
street and Seventh avenue, sever
al enlarged photographs of wo
men principals and chorus mem
bers appearing in his revue. He
defended the exhibition as an “ar
tistic” one.
In his decision, Magistrate Ryt
tenberg declared that a painter in
his studio undoubtedly could paint
the figure of a nude woman model
without danger to morality.
Goes to Jail.
When the hearing was over,
Carroll, with a flower in his coat
lapel, w as placed in a patrol wag
on along with five other prisoners
and taken to the Tombs to await
trial in the court of special ses
sions.
When Carroll arrived at the
prison; he was told it Was Too late
for the evening meal, and was

given permission to send out for
some sandwiches.
No Hunger Strike.
He availed himself of the op
portunity, saying he had decided
not to go on a “hunger strike,

For that exact three-quarters of an

point my interest in the matter

capable of the rest. Sir
t “Disappointing,” Timothy
murmured. “I thought at first that
you were over-modest. I find that
I was mistaken. It was chance
alone which set you on the right
track.”
“Well, there is my story, at any
rate,” Francis declared. “With how
much of your knowledge of the af
fair are you going to indulge me?”
Sir Timothy slowly revolved his
brandy glass.
“Well,” he said, “I will tell you
this. The two young men con
^cemed, Bidlake and Fairfax, were
both guests of mine recently at my
country house. They had discov
ered for one another a very fierce
and reasonable antipathy. With
that recurrence to primitivism
with which I have always been a
hearty sympathizer, they agreed,
Instead of going round their little
world making sneering remarks
about each other, to fight it out.”
“At your suggestion, I presume?”
Francis Interposed.
“Precisely,” Sir Timothy assent
ed. “I recommend* a that course,
and I offered them facilities for
bringing the matter to a crisis. The
fight, Indeed, was to have come
off the day after the unfortunate
episode which anticipated it.”
“Do you mean to tell me that you
knew—” Francis began.
Sir Timothy checked him quiet
ly and effectively.
“I knew nothing,” he said, "ex
cept this. They were neither of
them young men of much stomach,
and I knew that the one who was
the greater coward would probably

i knew
er eoward-not that there was
muck to choose between them—and
1 alS0 knew t)lat he was the ln_
j ure d person. That is really all
thfire is about it- My somewhat
theatrical statement to you was
based upon probability, and not
upon any certain fore-knowledge,
you see, it came off.”
“ And the cause o{ theIr quarrelr -
Francis asked
“There might have been a hun
dred reasons,” Sir Timothy ob
served. “As a matter of fact, It
was the eternal one. There is no
need to mention a woman's name,
so we will let it at that.”
There was a moment’s silence—a
strange, unforgettable moment for
Francis Ledsam, who seemed by
some curious trick of the Imagina
tion to hate been carried away Into
an impossible and grotesque world.
The hum of eager conversation, the
popping of corks, the little trills of
feminine laughter, all blended into
one sensual and unmusical chorus,
seemed to fade from his ears. He
fancied himself in some subterran
ean place of vast dimensions,
through the grim galleries of which
men and women with evil faces
crept like animals. And towering
above them, unreal in size, his
scornful face an epitome of sin, the
knout which he wielded symbolical
and ghastly, driving his motley
flock with the leer of the evil shep
herd, was the man from whom he
had already learned to recoil with
horror. The picture came and went
in a flash. Francis found himself
accepting a courteously offered
cigar from his companion.
“You see, the story lb very much
like many others.” Sir Timothy mur
mured, as he lit a fresh cigar him
self and leaned back with the ob
vious enjoyment of the cultivated
smoker. “In every country of the
world, the animal world as well as
the human world, the male resents
his female being taken from him.
Directly he ceases to"resent It, he
becomes degenerate. Surely you
must agree with me, Mr. Ledsam?”
“It comes to this, then," Francis
pronounced deliberately, “that you
stage-managed the whole affair.”
Sir Timothy smiled.
“It is my belief, Mr. Ledsam,” he
said, “that you grow more and more
intelligent every hour."
Sir Timothy glanced presently at
his thin gold watch and put It back
in his pocket regretfully.
“Alas!” he sighed. “I fear that I
must tear myself away. I particu
larly want to hear the laat act of
•Louise.’ The new Frenchwoman
Bings, and my daughter la alone.
You will excuse me.”
Francis nodded silently. His com
panion’s careless words brought a
sudden dazzling vision Into
mind. Sir Timothy scrawled hla
name at the foot of his bill.
“It Is one of my axioms in life,
Mr. Ledsam,” he continued, “that
there is more pleasure to be derived
from the society of one’s enemies
than one’s friends. If I thought you
sufficiently educated in the
ways of the world to
this, I would ask If you cared
accompany me?”
Francis did not hesitate for a mo
ment.
"Sir Timothy,” he said, “I
the greatest detestation for you,
I am firmly convinced that you
resent all the things abhorrent
me. On the other hand, I should
very much like to hear the last
of ‘Louise,’ and it would give
the greatest pleasure to meet
daughter. So long as there Is
misunderstanding—”
Sir Timothr laughed.
