A
Double Game
By HARRY VAN AMBURG
"Mighty dull this lounging nbout u
hotel waiting for something," said a
uuin to another who occupied a chair
beside him.
"Well, yes, rather. Cards is about
tiic only way to pass the time. And
the difficulty about cards is you must
get up a party to play 'em."
"I couldn't do that," said the other,
"for I don't know a soul socially in the
town. I expected to finish my busi
ness here today and pet out this even
ins, but I didn't succeed."
"I know several men who board
hero," said the other. "1 was thinking
of getting tip a little pa**- of poker
this evening in my room, live centa»C9
or something like that"
"1 wish you would and let me in."
The party met. and the man who
didn't know anybody was introduced
by his friend to the others as Mr.
Wheelock. the introducer's name be
injr Jones. They sat down to play
with a live cent ante, but kept raising It
till it reached a dollar. Mr. Wheelock
didn't object an ; bet as hlfih as any of
the party, sometime*, winning and
sometimes losing.
It wjss not l:»ng before WlieeiocK <iss
covered that. though be neither lost
nor won much, the money lie staked
was gradually passing out of his hnmls
and was s' ■ plied by new five dollar
tills, all on the same bank. The fact
didn't seem t > surprise him. nor did
he object to It. fie did not even com
ment upon it Milt Mr. Jones, from
whom the bills came, remarked that
he bad had $1.1100 paid him that after
noon at a bank and it had been Kir en
him all In these new five dollar bills
on the bank from which he had receiv
ed the money. This explained his bav
ins so much of it all of the same de
nomination.
While the same was in progress n
bell boy rapped at the door and asked
If Mr. Wheelock was in the room. On
being told (lmt be was he handed In a
bouquet «>f flowers. Wheclock receiv
ed the flowers with evident astonish
ment. When the others railed him at
bavins a sweetheart near at hand he
loo'r.'d embarrassed ni.d declared that
he didn't know a woman in the place,
and if he had "made a mash" he was
entirely unconscious of it.
"However."' he said, "gentlemen. I
trust that yon will drink to the lady,
whoever she may be. with me." And,
rising, be pros oil the electric button
and on the arrival of a waiter ordered
a bottle of wine. The qua dins of wine
and the game w ;it on together after
this, but none of the men present seem
ed to care to drink to excess. Mr.
Jones. In wlios. room the pavty were,
was especially abstemious, I irely sip
ping his wine.
But Mi" Wli'MocR find one or two
of the others h r.-Jf'r finished the bottle,
the tirst named ordered another, anil
when it bad been left in tlio room
I Wheelock followed the waiter out for
j some purpose .'Mid when ho relumed
i shut the door :;nd turned the key un
known to the others. He then deftly
j slipped it u;> his sleeve and after re
; sinning his sent, being hidden l>y the
I tabic. transferred it to his pocket.
"It seems to me," remarked one of
: the party, "that those flowers have a
very deeided perfume."
"Very decided," chimed in another.
"It makes tue feel like turning in,"
said a third.
"Perhaps we'd better open a win
dow." observed the host, "anil get
some air. Would yon object. Mr. Wbee
toefe?"
"Certainly not,"
Jones went to a window end tried
to open it. It seemed to be stuck. lie
went to another, which also resisted
his effort'; Mr. Wheeled; seemed to
be Intent on the cards, but his mind
was on the windows. He had pained
access to tint very room during the
day and had driven a nail into the sash
of each window.
Jones turned away with a frightened
look on his face. There were two
games being played in his room—one
by himself, the other by Mr. Wliee
loek. Jones staggered to the door and
tried to open it. Finding it locked, he
looked more frightened still.
"Some <>iie has locked us in here."
he said. "We must get out."
lie caught on to the back of a chair
The perfume from the flowers was
overcoming liini. lie returned to the
window and made another effort to
lift the sash. He failed and was on
his way'to the other window when he
sank down unconscious.
Meanwhile the others of the party
were also giving way to the effects of
the flownrs and one by one either roll
ed down to the floor or bent over un
conscious on the table. Wheelock
counteracted the fumes by holding a
vial under his uose. When all except
himself had succumbed he summoned
a waiter and directed him to bring the
police fts quick as possible. They ar
rived in a few miuutes and were much
surprised at the scene before them—
several men asleep and money in heaps
on the table.
"That man," said Wheelock, point
ing to Jones, "is a counterfeiter. I am
Parkinson, a detective. I tracked him
here, and the others. I fancy, are his
colleagues. lie has been trying to
shove his stuff on me for my good
money. Rotter put the bracelets on
him before he comes to himself."
When the party woke up they found
themselves in the hands of the police.
But the only one "wanted" was Mr.
Jones.
EVIDENCE IN
A PICTURE
By F. A. MITCHEL
Touring on foot along the coast of
France between St. Nazal re and La
Itochelle. sketching by the way, I
came, to a picturesque spot where
stood a cottage. A boy often came and
looked on while I worked. I was
tempted to cease my landscape draw
ing and sketch the boy instead, for i
never saw a finer model of a child of
that age. I chatted with him and
learned that lie lived in the cottage
with his mother, a widow; that his fa
ther had been a wealthy man, and un
til his father's death a few years be
fore the family had lived In n chateau.
Curious to know something more of
tiie story, I asked the boy if ho would
present to his mother the complimcuts
of au American artist who was on a
sketching tour and beg shelter for the
night under her roof. He ran away
with my message and soon returned to
say tlint his mother would be happy
at least to receive a visit from mon
sieur. 1 folded my stool, easel and
other equipment and, slinglug the
package on my shoulder, accompanied
the child to his home.
I I'ounil Mine. Clainnont. his mother,
an aristocratic looking as her sou. I
told her that my curiosity had been
excited by her boy as to her famil.vJ
story, niul if it would be no Intrusion
upon her feelings I would like to know
tnore of it. She made mo welcome
and gave nie the facts.
She bad married late in life a man
much older than herself who was both
rich, high born and in every way
prominent One child, my little friend
Gaston, had been born to them at a
time when it was supposed that she
was too old t-i bear a child. Her hus
band's brother, who had been looking
forward to inheriting the estate, had
shown from the birth of Gaston that
lie was bitterly disappointed at being
supplanted. But he gave no sign of
any intention to dispute the succes
sion till after the death of her hus
band a year a gone.
M. Clainnont had scarcely been in
terred when his brother, Martin Clair
inout, claimed the property on the
grouud that Gaston was not his son
nor the sou of Ills w i'c. but the child
of one Annette Voudniy, a laundress,
who had been broug t into the cha
teau to l>e palmed oil as the child of
Muse. Clainnont. The claimant ob
tained from this woman what purport
ed to be a confession to that effect.
There was a trial that was dragged*
.through the courts for two years; then
the highest court confirmed the deci
sions of the lower ones, deciding in
favor of Martin Clainnont, giving him
his deceased broi Iter's estate and Gas
ton to Annette Voudray.
Mine. Clnir:u"iit hail possessed a lit
tle money of her own. with which she
IumuIH oiT the woman so far as Gaston
was concern* I. and he remained with
his mother. They had come to live at
the cotta.ee. Mine. Clalrmont having a
small allowance from her relatives.
Such was the story I -rot from the
l.'uly's lips, and I could >t doubt her
statement. One tiling s -prised ine—
l': >t :i court should, he in; le to lielieve
that Gaston was (lie so: of a laun
dress. True, he did not < peclally re
semble his mother, but I ;ve observ
ed that sons and daught s bear the
closest reseniblanee to the • parents at
a corresponding age One can hardly
expect a child to resemble i parent of
: sixty.
Mme. Clalrmont kindly i "ered me a
' room f.or the night, which gladly ac
cepted. Her personal ef ets. furni
ture. heirlooms, pictures, etc.. had
been removed from the chateau to the
cottage. The room I accepted showed
evidence of this. Over the ' lautel was
a picture that interested n >. It was
roses arranged In an oval shape to
make a border for a portrait The
portrait was that of an old woman.
Stopping ia strange places .as I did. 1
| carried with me the most powerful
electric hand lamp I could b'iy. In or
der to see the portrait mori distinctly
I brought my lamp to bear on It. The
strong light revealed that tl > old wo
man's picture had been painted over
another picture. The one first painted
was too indistinct for me to see any
more of it than to warrant my assum
ing that It was the head and shoul
ders of a boy.
The next day I called Mi 'e. Clair
mont's attention to my disci' ery and
was surprised to find that it was also
a discovery for her. Being nr artist, I
was familiar with processes f " remov
ing paint and offered to ateropt to
tnl;e ofT enough of the first p ."trait to
reveal the second, suggesting that
there was a remote possibility of some
family evidence behind it that would
bear on her fortunes. She r -seated,
and 1 at once began my work.
But I was obliged to work ir n dark
room and with my electric II ht, for
fhe boy portrait was only vis >le un
der my electric lamp.
By very careful work I succ ded In
removing enough of one layer ithout
the others to show the boy's h id and
was surprised to reveal a pot -nit of
little Gaston. But Ills mother lid no;
it was tiic head of Gnston's f: her at
Gaston's present age.
That picture brought about a return
of the Clalrmont estate to its ghtful
owners. As to the picture. tb< e was
but one explanation. The i -iginal
must have been painted In co! -rs re
quiring certain artificial light t bring
them out Later some one not mow
ing that there was a portrait -ithin
the flower border bad used the nvoa

SIBERIA'S RINGED BREAD.
! Makes Good Soup After Being Used In
a Game of Quoits.''
No homemade bread In the world can
Tie either in Indigestlbliity or useful
ness with the small ringed bread of Si
beria, probably the most extraordinary
bread in the whole world.
When the Russian engineering par
ties were constructing the Siberian
railroad tills white ringed bread was
their chief food. As its name implies,
it is made In the shape of a ring. It
is cool;i'd without salt or yeast and
is first steamed and then lightly baked
to expel the moisture. It is eaten and
used in a wonderful variety of ways.
During the intensely cold winter
months It is soaked in hot tallow for
a few moments and then eaten with
soup or dipped In tea and swallowed
This tallow bread is considered to be
one of the most beat producing foods
in existence.
A curious use to which it Is pnt Is ns
n lamp or stove. Half a dozen or eight
holes are bored in the "tallow ring
bread,'' and wax vestas are placed in
them and lighted. This bread stove
will burn slowly for about an hour,
giving out sufficient heat to boil the
necessary water for tea or coffee for
half a dozen people.
During the day. when time hangs
heavily, the Siberian peasants play
quoits with their pinged bread, the
same breads appearing in the soup at
the evening meal.—Pearson's WoWcly. .
Tooke's Taste In Tombs.
Nelson provided his own ooHlij, but
there hiive been men who carefully
prepared their own tombs. Horne
Tooke was one. A large block of black
Irish marble, specially procured for the
purpose, was Its most striking feature,
and it wns to be placed In his garden
at Wimbledon, where he desired to
be buried. But nil his preparations
were vain, for after his death it was
decided that the presence of a tomb
would "deteriorate.the value of his es
tate," and he was buried In Ealing
churchyard.—I.ondon Chronicle.
