Hall, of . Maxton, and Mrs. C. A. Floyd, of, ■ Fairmont, spent Thursday here with 1 Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Glass. , TUSAN^ fliblished hf ormnyenunl wilh national Picture* In?, He laid rough handr or. Layton and forcibly ejected him from the room. He tutned and addressed tne naif dozen witnesses with dead ly calm. “That goes for the rest of yon,” he announced. “I’m shaking the dust of this town from ny boots pretty soon. But as long as I’m around I don’t want that name mentioned where I can hear it.” One stepped forward, Barbour, president of the club. 1 “You’re drunk, Kohler,” he said. “Im not afraid of you—drunk or sober.” ‘What I said means you, too.” said Bravo. “If you don’t think so, speak up.” “You owe Layton an apology," said Barbour. “And you owe the club an apology, too.” “If you’ll wait a‘minute,’* eaid Bravo, “I’ll write it!” He got a sheet of paper and went to the bar. He scribbled a few words, folded the sheet and walked up to Barbour. “Here’s my apology,” he said, and dung it into the man’s face. He stalked out. Somebody pick ed up the paper and read it , It was Bravo’s resignation from the club. There teas a heavy silence. Into it the intruder shouted, “ Greetings, twine!” The Rcvzl THE NIGHT, masterpiece of dark loveliness, was marred by the , bizarre costumes who flitted noisi j ly across the silver lit- quiet. Human perspiration, the heavy odor of perfumes and the penetrat ing smell of various liquors smoth j ered the natural fragrance of the * lowers which framed the artificial I -pool set like a blue black pearl in 1 the garden. Its quiet waters were harried by bathers, men and wom en, scantily clad, who splashed into It and obliterated the shimmering reflection of the gentle crescent moon. Pierrots, Columbines, wood nymphs, satyrs, middle aged little boys, ballet dancers, clowns, pi rates . . . everybody was in cos tume. On a little platform constructed near the pool a jazz band of six negroes blared muted mad synco pation, music as abandoned as the couples who danced to it on the smooth lawn. Succumbing to an unconquerable Inhibition, Barbara had dressed herself In the shabby habiliments of a hobo. Like a lost soul she wandered among the gay, drunken Bohemians. She had taken sev eral drinks, but they had not di minished the morbid melancholy Into which the night had plunged her. Louis XVIII humped into the slender tramp and bowed as lowj as his paunch would permit him. “I know you,” he said, . “You’re Miss Brov/n, our hie genial hoshtesh! And you’re—hie—out done yourshelf too. The club owes sou a vote of thanks. You’ve given tts a regular—hie—night in Rome.” , . “A night in rum,” said Barbara, And walked rudely away. Her tem per was slowly rising to the danger point. Her party to the Bohemians, two hours old, was becoming rap idly unmanageable. The crowds of strange guests, unfamiliar faces all, milled about her with total dis regard for anything except a preda tory intentness on accumulating, • each one, a maximum share of loot [ of beauty and booze. On the wide sweeping lawn which led from the pool to the wa iters of the Sound she walked alone i toward huge house she rented to give this party to the Bohe mians. Two by two, she had no ticed, her guests had disappeared In thh. direction. She was deter mined to investigate. She entered and started up the broad #tairs. On the landing she paused and jooked down the upper hall. Faintly through the closed i door of a room half way down the corridor sounded laughter—femi nine giggles and the tnroatier guf faws of men. She stole to the closed door and listened. She paused a moment and placed her hand reaolutely on the doorknob. A quartet of revelers paused in various attitudes of guilty surprise as. she stood in the doorway. They were all strangers. One of the girls spoke up: *. ~ "No tramps allowed. If you think you’re gonna get a handout you're out o' lcck.” } "Shut npf” bawled her male partner. "Thick Is Libsrn Hall, •grjrgboftsfe WIWBI, Ptk <g Handout Manor. Free lunch, fre* booze, everythingsh free.” ’ He. grabbed Barbara by the arm “ You’ve come In the nick o’ time frien’. Look whal we fuuiuU” “Where’d you get the cham pagne?” demanded Barbara. She welcomed the chance to vent he anger pn somebody. / There Was a Joyous laugh. "I got through a cellar window - announced the man with the bottle “Lap it up. sweetie.” said the girl on the divan. “They sav it came right out o' old Hardin;u 3 private stock. Barbara rro\ a pulled a Jesse James on his cellar long before we did, so it s alight.

No doubt they, too, were roaring over sons choice witticism at the expense oi the Hardiman heiress. To, herUmagination the horde oi stranger!! under her roof became leering figures collected in drunk en groups expressly for the p ar . pose of jeering her. Well, if they were there to jeer , she’d give them something to jeer for. She had Invited the entire membership of this gentlemen’* club, she had taken these internum able pains deviously to draw hack Bravo, the errant. And he hadn’t 1 come. I Well, It was batter so. Sha I would never give him another I chance. ' When she emerged from the house the cool air stroking her flushed face soothed her, restored her to a dead, despondent calm She slackened her pace and walked with measured steps toward the pavilion, from which sounded the throbbing cadence of the negroes She loitered outside the structure. , anger and hate fermenting within her. | She looked about for Petrie, sin gled him out from the crowd and called him to her side with a nod. “ ’S’great party,” announced Pe trie with an ardor v/hich was sud denly dampened aa he caught th* look in Barbara's eyes. “What’s matter? Don’t you like it?” “There’s something I want to speak to you about,” she said. “I notice that one of your memberl has failed to come—Mr. Kohler.” "That kill-joy?” cried Petrie “Him? No. We kicked him out o| our club. Oh, no, he won’t sbou . up!” “If he does,” gritted Barbara, “1 want you and a half dozen of you! friends —I know it’ll take thai/i ’ many—to throw him out [ Do 700 / 1 understand?” \ “It’s an order!” he said.L "Andil pleasure!” j He shifted his gaze a moment and started. Barbara’s pulse leap ed at the sight of a familiar, weath* - er stained felt hat “Bravo!” Her voice floated to him across , the heads of the throng. The im trader looked at her for one brief instant with an expression that ! was unfathomable. The musib stopped as Bravo lifted hie hal with a melodramatic sweep and sent It sailing into the air. There was a heavy silence. Into it the intruder shouted: “Greetings, swine!” BRAVO reached the wall of the i 1 pavilion and turned with his back j ■ against it to face the mob. A saxo ’ phone player who had ludicrously , remained with his thick lips gilued , to the mouthpiece of his lnstn» ment, expelled a cheekful of air. The single bovine blast electrified the .silence, which was broken by a few scattered, uneasy laughs. The intruder put his hand on the scarlet haft of a fire-axe which hung on the wall of the tinder and tinsel pavilion. Outlined against the flimsy wall hangings, the rebel member of the Bohemians, with th» crimson and steel weapon held against his chest, was the figure of vengeance. There was something which urged Barbara to fling herself out of the mob and leap to Bravo’* side. But there was ateo that which held her in her place, even as it held the others, paralyzed by the baneful glitter in the dark and scornful eyes which traveled over ! the field of their upturned scared - faces. “1 said swine,” spoke the prophet with the axe. “But you are no! so decent as swine.” His voice rose to fill the large chamber, and smite the furthest ears. “Swine are built with their bel lies near the mire. You are low enough, the lot of you. But still you are built In the image of man. You walk upright on two legs. God. you have to stoop to get your snoots in the slime.” t They exchanged bewildered looks* A murmur rose through the group of costumed revellers. Bar bar* watched the speaker with wide eye* in a white set face. There was a i small spot of red set In each of her cheeks. Bravo’s voice rose. “If you had the courage of your j vices, that would be someth .ng- But, no. You’re weak, bloodless. ( Your meagre lusts can't be roused to the point of action. You re 0® dull to be decent, too timid to Indecent And when you die, 1 don’t know where you'll gp ther heaven nor hell will wani you I” ' 'The countless tortured thoughts of months of solitary despair strut* gled for simultaneous utterance, Bravo was incoherent There was a suspiolon that he was drunk -■ 1 doubt he wasn't completsly sohei (Continued) j, Monday, (1 •Ih-u- gu^t S " VER n%J G a V<* \k)r,] J Ti 11 Hightm ‘biring th,. t r: -ii had it-sr, •-.■lj.N.r, S 11,11 ■ J hf- n,.j| 'ift.' ill (Jay (oh,** ‘•'ft lift Friday I Hr. hWj -MkMm i\ llr ,| H mfm A SIR m My other mm | gency.
