Mary, Queen of the Scots, was sent to her death on the* headt-man's block by Queen Elizabeth, of Eng land, nearly three and a half cen turies ago- This was because of her conviction of being linked with a conspiracy resulting in the murder of her husband Darnley, who was a double traitor to her and Scot land. Perhaps no tragedy in history has held such a fascination, both of mystery and sentiment. But a new thrill has been added to the i old story. After 350 years her name has been cleared. By scientific ex aminations of one of the ongm..l casket letters, which hns been cur iously preserved, a British hand writing expert Ims announced that these letters were forgeries. | The casket letters, it will be re membered, were found in a casket, which had been given by ltotnwell to a servant for safe-keeping. It con tained love letters and translations of French sonnets to Bothwcll in the handwriting of the queen. Mary aeknpwledged the love, letters, but istrenuously denied the authorship of I the other letters which turned up in I (he casket so opportunely for her j enemies. Mystery has always sar in muled these letters and all of the originals long ngo disappnred with the exception of one letter. Mary trusted blindly wh"rc she .trusted at all. The forger of the let -1 ters that sent her to her death was her own secretary, William Mnit- Jgud. In history Maitland is record ed as a faithful servant and as “one of. the wits o f Scotland.” Queen KilWßpni railed him “the flower of the wits of Scotland.” But now he a hns been transformed into a deceit-j I ful, disloyal double-faced, faithless, 11 treacherous servant. The new evl- I dence against Maitland making I him the real author of the casket I letters is based upon photographic I enlargements and modern scientific I comparisons of his handwriting with I that of the queen.

(Continued) As ft rule the Casino Rooms clear with the first pallor of twilight. Only the Inveterate gamblers re main through the quiet hours when tourists hunt their ten franc table notes and the members of the fashionable company disappear for diesslng and their more interesting dinner rendezvous. Yvonne could keep a crsT/d about her, however, and so could Joanna. Three times, m succession Joanna lost the maxi* mum, fifteen thousand francs. Then she won a sweep of the columns twice. By now she was playing only the limit—fifteen thousand francs at each play. And across her shoulder, at her insistence. Roddy reached down at every play to touch with his fingers au added play of fifteen thousand francs which theoretically registered him as a player and the extra maximum as his cv.-r gamble. By this subter fuge the Golden Girl was svoldlng the rules and staking, on every turn of the wheel, double the maxi vum Brandon, and Kenilworth ex changed glances. A chef de partie, :bo official who supervises each table for thq Casino quietly took a stand beside the croupier. Mademoiselle had won u quarter of a million francs in an' hour of play. And seemed to be: unwearied. The official gave a hlfl- ! den sign. Attendants In the quiet uniform of the Casino silently rolled up a square box set upon wheels. Out of the box they lifted cases of money which they put in the receptacles at the croupier's hand. Once, in just such a mood as she evidenced now. Mademois elle Joanna bad broken the bank. When she played the double maxi mum for an hour and had a win ning streak, the chef de partie provided early for emergency. Prince Michael and Yvonne arter a time of desultory playing left inelr chairs and moved over to stand with Brandon and Kenilworth uenlnd the girl at the table. Jo anna felt their presence and called ever her shoulder to Michael: "You've got lots of pockets. Please empty my lap of money. My bag is filled and I can't take care of It all. And you can play with me as Roddy's doing.” It is so clearly against the rules for a player to go beyond'the maxi mum play that the croupier, wor ried already by she obvious trick mi! Kenilworth’s merely touching the second 15,000 francs In the girl’s stakes, glanced sidowise at the chef da partle for his approval of this added evasion. Joanna caught th* glance and treated the aged chef de partle with a warm smile that captivated him. He bowed to the croupier and Prince Michael, hav ing emptied the pile of notes and gold which Joanna had scraped in to her lap Into his various pockets and overflowing It into Kenil worth's, reached over her oilier shoulder to help make her play 45,000 francs at a time. Yvonne, standirg now edged against Brandon, suddenly felt Ills hand on her arm. When she looked up at him he signalled, with a look, a presence In the room. She turned and glanced About among the marble pillars along the corri dors. She saw a figure already In dinner clothe? atandlhg idly be tween the columns where visitors loiter to take in the always thrill ing scene about the roulette tables. The boy. for ho was hardly more than a boy although he had the air of one who had grown big in the midst of something that counted, appeared to be undetermined whe ther to pass on, and out onto the Terrace, or turn into the Salle do Roulette and Investigate the reason for the crowd that hovered, with tense faces, about the middle table. Yvonne, when she had took In every detail of the figure in din ner clothes, glanced at Brandon. He ! nodded at her quietly. She thread ed her way* out of the crush and \ crossed the chamber. The young man between the col umns had decided, evidently, to pass on. But as he was turning into the corridor his eyes caught I the woman who was approaching him. He moved to meet her, a glad smile in his face. Her two- hands reached out to him, impulsively Awkwardly he took them both, and would have dropped them but they held onto his. , “We knew you had come,” Yvon ne said, “and so I am to be the first to tell you what wonderful things you. have been doing and how happy. I—we are! You are quite the same John Wilmore we left In New York! The “we” was emphasised. John noticed that. It confused him. And the woman was atilt holding his hands. "I did hope.” he said, “that yon wouldn’t say I looked just the same. Every acquaintance I meet says that to me. 1 feel as If I was derelict in something; as if I ought to look different than I do.” "Now that’s a very appropriate speech." Yvonne assured him. “It strikes home, because, frankly, I've been wondering since I read of your arrival, Just Jiow you'd look. Being famous does change some people, you know.” He fumbled a little with his re leased hands. Yvonne sensed the question at his lips. "She Is over there,” she said, "playing. That crowd Is Iter's. She came in an hour ago quite normal but the Red and Black always sweeps her out of herself. She’s playing the max', mum treble, and winning. We mustn't disturb her now.” They walked across the sails and and ap to tha adga of tha aaowd that pressed against the girl in the ’ gold chair who still played, win or lose three times the maximum, and whose plays still troubled the’ chef de partie because she contin ued to win. Brandon came out of the pack and greeted John affably. “I didn't think the newspapers would announce me." John said, shyly. “I wanted to surprise h6r. i I had not told her when I was com ink." „ They moved In among the specta tators slowly, Yvonne remaining ' close to his side. Brandon edged in between Kenilworth and Michael and, almost with out a word, communicated to both of them that “he” wa3 behind them. Kenilworth did not taround. Prince Michael swung around quickly and gave the man who stood with Yvonne a delib- i irate scrutiny. Apparently he was satisfied with his observation, for he coolly turned his back and coh tinned his fictitious play with Jo- J anna’s, money. Twice Joanna playtg "en pletn” or the sweep of the colors and col- It teas Yvonne who summoned John to join her in a cocktail. umns. She nad won that sensa lion play three times. Now she lost each time, emptying hep bag of its hoarded gold and notas. Any experienced player would, have switched, as she knew, to the sim ple colors, with the next plays, until "luck” changed. But a sudden stubbornness overwhelmed Iter. "Kn pletn!" she called again, and swept her 45.000 francs—ss,ooo— the table. Agaiu she lost. Whispering in the crowd behind her ceased. Necks craned to see her next play. "En plein!” slut called, and tossed another $5,- 000 onto the green cloth. The crowd of watcbAs at the table gasped. Deathly sfienee fell. Evftn Yvonne, who had been chat ting feverishly with John, was sil ent. Kenilworth started to murmur a caution hat Joifnna threw up her hand jeidtily and willfully. If ever "eu plein" wins immediately after losing it becomes one of the leg ends of Monte Carlo. It turns up utio out of 400 plays, according to h»e average struck after many years. Again the croupier raked In the stake and called for the next play, "Faltes vos jeux, Made moiselle!" Make your game, Made moiselle. Her bag was empty. She signed over her shoulder to tor her money from bis pockets. Again $5,800. and again! The watchful the! de partie went away. At last, with a shrug of her shoulders the Golden Girl leaned back in her chair. She smiled to the croupier: “Merci, M’sieur," she said, "that 13 all. I have no more.” The croupier, as there was no one else playing, permitted himself the rare pleasure of an exchange with Mademoiselle Joanna: “I am desolate that Mademoiselle should have been so unlucky!” She shook her head, still lean ing hack in her chair, and smiling at him queerly: “Merci, M’sieur,” she said, "but I am not unhappy. Unlucky at play, you know, lucky at love. I want to be, t\*ry lucky today, M’sieur—at love!" She got up. then, and looked up at Kenilworth and Michael, who were standing transfixed by the suddenness of the piling up of her tremendous losses. She put a hand on the sleeves of both of them end shared between them that per sistent. quizzical smile. She was about to chaff them when her eyes found Yvonne and the man beside her. Both Kenilworth and Prince Michael felt, and took a different lesson, from the sudden gripping of the fingers that had rested so fairy like upon their arms. CHAPTER XXVI John’s Success John, changed much, despite his dislike of being expected to be dif ferent, put Joanna's hands together and wrapped his own about them. Quite a tew of the men who had been spectators to the Golden Girl’s reckless plays, and had marvelled anew at the abandon with which she tossed fortunes Into the dis card when she pitted a stubborn will against the implacable rules of chance, gave John a deeply specu lative glance. Among the crowd about thq roulette table there had been many women, smart women IRffwii. ib4 ib4 PirtA with a sprinkling of American* whs were distinguished by their sh) wonder at the boldness with whici the others flaunted their banner o! sex. Some of these watched th« girl who greeted the stranger bi intently that their own stare* seemed to transfix them. Yet sh» i was merely silent, only very still; the quizzical gmile the croupier hai seen played again about the curv* of her lips. The brown of her eye* was browner, more golden tha* usual. What the women saw wa* the wilful spendthrift, alwayi startling young America* whosi whims and flirtations had aroused I the Riviera, yielding, melting j swaying to a young man who had ' neither the grace nor place of an) ; one of that bright company of wop i shippers which habitually fluttered abopt her. The man spoke, at last! “It's good to see you again, Jo!‘ I he said. The brown in the girl’) eyes went a shade darker. It wa* an almost imperceptible change. It could be though, a forerunner ol shadows that could make thos* eyes almost black at times. Sh» withdrew her hands gently. Ii was as if she had been holdinf something that, she had suddenlj discovered, wasn’t there at all. “I’m glad you found time to com* down," she said quietly. “1 intended to surprise you,” h« explained. “I was going to drop in and have you open a door and com? into a room, or something like that, not expecting me, and then, I’d planned to say, ‘Hello! You’ve got your good looks on, haven’t you .lo?’ or something like the old days Didn’t think they'd announce me and spoil it." The haunting shadow remained beneath her lids. She made no re pl.v, but turned to bring up Prince Michael for the introductions Yvonne, who stood with Kenil worth. saw that John’s glance re peuledly swept the room, the litter at the rouletto table reminiscent ol llie recent scene, to return and red on Joanna. And she saw, too, that Joanna, watching John furtively, wa* conscious of his inspections oi the gambling rooms, the gambling company and of her. On the terrace, free from the ceaseless confusion in the gam bling rooms, the party stood for a few moments, by a common con sent, against the white balustrade. Michael and Kenilworth plunged into their polite appreciations oi the world wide attention the young architect had drawn to his plan so? a unique and stupendous monu tnent to men who went to war. Michael referred to “the late war” John launched instantly upon 'a connection of that understanding. Not alone the men who went to fight in the late war," he said ’’but in all wars—those ahead of us as well as those behind ns. I hey all were stirred by the same exhilaration, you know, and always will be. Your ancient crusader fought for a religion but it was a woman, or girl, or one who was still a girl in his fancies, who gave him the courage to go, and sen! with him the memories that cheered him.

Mr. Wilmore will ditto at Amette, I know. You too Roddy, if you will. 1 know Prince Michael has some glamorous en gagement of bis own for tonight.” Prince Michael bowed elabor ately. and acknowledged that he was dining tele a tele. “Although it should be with some one else,” be added, favoring Joanna with a meaning glance that was a re minder of the dash to the frontier the night before. Kenilworth would have accepted promptly the welcome to Amette hut Yvonne interfered. “You can take me to the Metro pole for dinner,” she said, to Roddy. “You will not have to change if the balcony will satisfy you, and it will me. I shall run out to Amette later to dress.” Joanna thanked her with her eyes. Kenilworth was Inclined to be stubborn, hut Yvonne managed the situation. Presently Joanna and John were speeding out the sea road, in her luxurious foreign car, toward Villa Ametto. The lights of the early evening were twinkling in the ha), and the per fumes of orange and lemon and geranium were ushering m the mellow Riviera night. Between the two people in the ear there was some subtle barrier. It had come with the shadow back In the salle de roulette. John was stiff; Joanna thoughtful. “You haven’t congratulated me,” he said, at last. She regarded him gravely from the corner of the wide cushioned seat “The wonder of It Is overwhelm ing, she said. “My throat was crammed with the things I was going to say to you when we were alone. They’ve gone out of it. It has made me very happy, though when I have read splendid things people say of you. You are sroing to be a success, after all, aren’t you? All yjur dreams are coming true.” He waited a while before he answered. “Not all of them, Jo. And there’s been a nightmare smong them, you know. It’s never gone away."
