Double Game
By HARRY VAN AMBURG
"Mighty dull tbls lounging about a
hotel waiting (or something," said a
man to another who occupied a chaii
beside him. t
"Well, yes, rather. Cards is about
the only way to pass the time. And
the difficulty about cards is you must
get np a party to play 'em."
I couldn't do that," said the other,
"for I don't know a soul socially in th
town. I expected to finish my busi
ness here today and get out this even
lng, but I didn't succeed."
"I know several men who board
here," said the other. "I was thinking
of getting up a little game of poker
this evening in my room, five cent ante
or something like that"
"I wish ;-ou 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
ing Jones. They sat down to play
with a five cent ante, but kept raising It
till It reached a dollar. Mr. Wheelock
didn't object and bet as high as any of
the party, sometimes winning and
sometimes losing.
It was not long before Wheelock dis
covered that, though he neither lost
nor won much, the money he staked
was gradually passing out of his hands
and was supplied by new five dollar
bills, all on the same bank. The fact
didn't seem to surprise him, nor did
he object to It Re did not even com
ment upon It But Mr. Jones, from
whom the bills came, remarked that
he had had $1,000 paid him that after
noon at a bank and It had been given
Mm ail In these new Ova dollar hills
on the bank from which he had receiv
ed the money. This explained Us hav
ing so much of It all of the same denomination
While the game was In progress a
bell boy rapped at the door and asked
If Mr. Wheelock was In the room. On
being told that be was he banded in a
bouquet of flowers. Wheelock receiv
ed the flowers with evident astonish
ment When the others railed him al
having a sweetheart near at hand he
looked embarrassed and declared that
be didn't know a woman In the place
and If he bad "made a mash" he was
entirely unconscious of It
"However," be said, "gentlemen, 1
trust that you will drink to the lady,
whoever she may be, with me." And,
rising, he pressed the electric button
and on the arrival of a waiter ordered
a bottle of wine. The quaffing ef wine
and the game went on together after
this, but none of the men present seem
ed to care to drink to excess. Mr
Jones, in whose room the party were,
was especially abstemious, barely sip
ping his wine
But Mr. Wbeelock and one or two
of the others having finished the bottle,
the first named ordered another, and
when it had been left In the room
Wheelock followed the waiter out for
some purpose and when be returned
shnt the door and turned the key un
known to the others. He then deftly
slipped it np his sleeve and after re
timing his seat being bidden by the
table, transferred It to bis pocket
"It seems to me," remarked one nl
the party, "that those flowers have a
very decided perfume."
"Very decided," chimed in another.
"It makes me feel like turning in,"
said a third.
"Perhaps we'd better open a win
dow," observed the host, "and get
some air Would you object Mr. Wee-
lockr
"Certainly not"
Jones went to a window and tried
to open It It seemed to be stuck He
went to another, which also resisted
Ma efforts. Mr. Wheelock seemed to
be Intent on the cards, bnt bis mind
was on the windows. He had gained
access to that very room during the
day and had driven a nail Into the sasb
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. Whee
lock. Jones staggered to the door and
tried to open It Finding It locked, h
looked more frightened still.
"Some one has locked us in here,'
he said "We must get oat"
He caught on to the back of a chair
The perfume from the flowers wsi
overcoming him. He returned to tb
window and made another effort t
lift the sash He failed and was or
his way to the other window when b
sank down unconscious.
Meanwhile the others of the part;
were also giving way to the effects of
the flowers end one by one either roll
ed down to the floor or bent over un
condone on the table. Wbeelock
counteracted the fumes by holding
vial under his aoee. When all except
himself had succumbed be summoned
a waiter and directed htm to bring the
police as quick as possible. They ar
rived In a few minutes and were much
surprised at the scene before tbem
seversl men asleep and money In beep
on the table.
"That man," said Wheelock, point
lng to Jones, "Is a counterfeiter. I am
Parkinson, a detective. I tracked him
here, end the others, I fancy, are hb
ooOeaffMe. Be has been trying t
bore his stuff on me for my good
money. Better pat the bracelet oi
htm before he come to himself "
