And was It not to be his last night
in its glitter, his last hearing of its
" 'medley, his last glimpsing of its nerv-

of the prisoner who sees his friends

shades cast a subdued, artistic glow
upon the whole. The head waiter
, himself, bis Seek enchained in sign
: of office, was in personal control of
details, bis staff had been well plcied
from Broadway's favorites among sub
ordinates; a very pretty girl, who
smiled at Broadway sweetly,, wistfully,
ait peasant maid might smile at a
crown prince, was ready to accept and
check:: the - ladies' wraps, while the
small boy In buttons, who was to sort
and store the outer garments of the
gentlemen, was .ready with bright eye s
and itching palms.
The party arrived promptly, coming

of Mrs.' Gerard, for, as ever, she

1 , Her once pretty but now age-puck-
, ered" face had been as thoroughly con
cealed, as possible with various expen-
ive. substances which are found in
Ibeauty parlors, and her hair was prob
ably the most costly in that part of
town that night, and this is saying
V much, for very costly tresses some
times deck the fair on Broadway.
j The ' restaurant had wrought evi
dences of its pride in its allegiance to
Broadway's favorite delicacy. A gi
gantic floral lobster occupied the cen-
. ter of the table, its antennae extend
ed toward the host, one of its claws
stretched toward the seat reserved for
Mrs. Gerard, the other somewhat less
fond of the ladies, for it yearned hun
grily, toward Bob Wallace's place. At
each lady's place were little lobsters,
. nicely vrroagfct of gold, with. Jeweled
eyes, 'for each male guest a silver cig
arette case had been fashioned into a
disconsolate lobster's shape with
curled-up tall and drooping claws de-
: Youtly lolded on its breast.
Broadway was a perfect hose, Los
" pltabiei easy, readier to listen than

truded that, this must be to him a
funeral, not a festal feast. His hand
shook as be raised his glass to the

Ah, that steel was not the blue of

FROM TftE PLAY Of
GEORGE
EDWARD mR5HALL
j'Tou may be big, old chap, but I
know a bigger lobster than you evei
were."
It happened at that instant that a
pause had come in the excited jvy
ousness about him one, of those brief,
unexpected silences Which never fail,
at least once In every dinner-party, to
reveal to everyone some saying which
the aayer wished to have unheard by
the majority. Always it is something
awkward, inadvertent, stupid or un
wholesome which is thus made bla
tantly the property off everybody's
ears. This night it was our young
host's confidential statement to the
great, red decorative lobster is the
center of his dinner table.
There was a chorus of Inquiry. It
Broadway knew a bigger lobster,
who was he, and where?
"Be careful, Broadway! Don't name
any friend of ours! We'd get peevish,
for that is some lobster."
"Who la H Broadway V
"Name. Broadway; name!" demand
ed the whole tableful.
Gloomy and dissatisfied with that
life whioh he loathed to quit, yet felt
that he could not continue, Broadway
rose and bowed. "I'm it!" he an
swered. T." '
Protests chorused.
"What hard-hearted girl has turned
you down, Broadway?" asked the love
ly Inez.
"Who is It, Broadway? Who could
possibly have the heart or been the
fool to do itr
Mrs. Gerard, his neighbor, bent on
him a glance so languishing that he al
most had to turn his face away.
"No girl has .ever turned me down,"
he said, endeavoring to be gay. "No
girl has ever had a chance to turn me
down. I mean "
Realizing that this did not sound
gallant, being instinctively, by nature,
a gallant, he would have modified it
if he could, but the howl of approba
tion which arose from all the men, the
chorus of mock criticism which arose
from all the women, drowned his voice.
From all the women except one. That
one sat on his right, that woman was
a widow and was worth a million.
"No girl could turn you down," she
murmured.
Ah, that thought which so repeat
edly had festered in bis brain! Here
were millions which admired him!
Here were millions which would pay
the debts which had piled up, which
would make the bottle with the
crimson label and the weapon with the
blued-steel barrel quite unnecessary!
Here were millions which would solve
the last one of his difficulties and for
which, if he accepted them, he could
offer adequate return in a devotion
which should be at once that of a son
tor an indulgent mother and a near
drowned man for his rescuer! Why
not? Why not? Why not marry Mrs.
Gerard?
"No girl could turn you down," had
been her words.
In the hurly-burly of the questions
and the answers, the ' frolic and ' the
nonsense, he scarcely had an opportu
nity to speak to her in tender words,
but he answered her by scribbling on
her menu card:
"Couldn't you?"
He felt certain that she gasped with
pleasure.
"Why do you say such things?" she
scribbled. 1
"Because I love you," the unfortu
nate youth answered.
"I love you, too," she scribbled in
reply. , ,
"What sort of game are you two
playing there?" demanded Robert Wal
lace gaily.
"Dont interrupt, Bob," Broadway or
dered. "It's a new kind of game of
hearts. . It's played with menu cards.
8hut up!" :''
He turned again to his delighted, if
ancient partner In the novel pastime.
"It can't be 1." he scribbled.
"It is true," she wrote."
"Will you marry me!" he scrawled.
. With a coy look at him which made
him feel a little faint, but without an
instant's hesitation. "Yes," she an
swered. V-'-.
It was tremendously to the relief of
the young host that Bob Wallace, at
about this moment, rose and said that
he must leave. .- .
' It seemed to Broadway that the
others mattered, less. Tor Wallace his
affection was so genuine that It includ
ed an intense desire to hold thV man's
respect 1 Sighing with relief he called
the major domo to his side as soon as
Bob had g6ne and whispered td him
that all glasses must be Ailed. With
the' intense alacrity which t,he youthful
spendthrift's orders were everywhere
observed along Broadway, this was at
tended ; to, and he rose to his feet
with all the dignity he could command.

more than, one among the ladies who
were seriously agitated,, heir numbei
being co-equivalent to .the number who
themselves at one time or another had
had hopes of winning'' Broadway and
' his millions for their very own.'
Everywhere about" him : rose. th
shout: ;? Who is she, Broadway? Name!
Name!" . ' .,. , '-v, .
. He swayed there qn his feet, a some
what sickly smiUr upon his face, hit
band elaborately; spilling, champagne
on his shirt front, a fact of which h
was In ignorance ah d which no ont
noted for a time.'; It was Mrs. Gerard
who called attention .to it by elabo
rately dabbing at him with her-handkerchief.
' .!::,,--;.'-:. j : 'K'i'J'yfy'
There were proprietary details even
of movement of her, hands and some
shrewd wits suspected for an Instant,
even though they put the wild . Idea
from them as absurd before it gained
firm foothold in their minds. ' v
"Who is she, Broadway? Name!
Name! Name!" the shouts Insisted.
"Guess ! " said Broadway1 strangely, !
He felt less , worry than he would
have felt before he had imbibed the
last few glasses of champagne.' He
had been drinking, very busily since
the dreadful thought had been' put Into
execution. He had been certain he
would need some artificial courage.
It gathered in his soul and helped
him fashion an extraordinary smile
vacuous and tremulous, but none the
less a smile.
"Viola?" hazarded a reckless youth
across the table, and Viola (who was
present in the makeup which she had
worn from the stage of a near theater,
where she had, that evening, acted
powerfully the part of a wronged and.
innocent maidenhood), hoped wildly for
an instant Perhaps Broadway, in his
cups, had decided on this most unusual
way of asking her the fateful ques
tion! She had had high hopes of him.
Perhaps "
"No," he answered thickly. "Guess
again. Three guesses. It's going to
take some brains, I tell you that! In
tellect's the only thing do it. Who
ever guesses right gets a cigar."
There was only, one among the
ladies present who was sot favored
by some speculative mind, and that
one was the right one.
Guesser after guesser named some
of the young and vivid creatures of
that almost wholly young and vivid
feminine company, none guessed the
only faded flower in the gay group.
Broadway, never dreaming of the ag
ony which filled the faded flower's
much powdered bosom because of the
omission of her name, feeling few emo
tions, really, other than the keen sen
sation of relief from his financial wor
ries, stood smiling somewhat vacantly,
but, on the whole, without much pain,
upon the puzzled party. "
Go on, guess with your brains." he
genially suggested. "It's mind, not
foot-work, that will win the prize."
But none guessed.
Realizing that in this was something
like reflection on her fitness for the
covetable position of consort to . the
youth, Mrs. Gerard attracted every-
ones attention, presently, by a won
derfully feigned embarrassment as she
rose and stood by Broadway's side.
The party gasped, but rose to the oc
casion as soon as it 'could, get its
breath again. It was incredible, and
here were those ' among the guests
who were so sure of this that they
'jelif ved a joke was hidden somewhere
n the episode, put the, majority were
c- vfiil trained to Broadway's genius
for producing mad extravagance, that
they simply charged this up as one of
them. ? ; -
A dancer who had beenbrougbt up
from the cabaret below after one
O'clock and closing time had come,
sprang lightly to a table, and, to the
destruction of the floral lobster and
some notably fine glassware, did a gay
pas-seul among the wrecks of sangui
nary shells and emptied bottles. .The
head waiter, smiled,, knowing that
whatever might be broken .would.be
charged up In the bill at dbuble value
and paid for without question by the
sensational spendthrift, to wiose own
wealth was now linked the extraordi
nary fortune of the reoent John Gerard
(wholesale leather) who had made his
millloas, married a very vital lady
of, his own ripe years and then died of
sheer antiquity,; to leave bar, trlum
phant in superior vitality, relict and
craving for that gaiety which life with
him had not provided.?.'.";-

lady with a skillful simulation of em

The car had scarcely dome to a

the. sidewalk, but the extending cor-'
nice underneath the window made this
aitite impossible, although the touring
fca'r beyond the curb was visible. ' This
lacked interest, so he hurried to -the
outer hall, where he stood near the
elevator shaft and listened earnestly.
presently, as the group succeeded in
getting up the three stairs leading
from the sidewalk Into the ground floor
hall, he caught a word or two of thick,
congratulatory talk. s 4 ' ,
"Sh'ou joy, ol' man," was the most
frequent of the crowding, earnest
words.
What could It meant .
As he heard the elevator door close
and the swift swish of the ascending
car, Rankin withdrew ,to the apart
ment, there to linger, waiting for his
master, consumed with carefully mas
tered curiosity.
Devoured with curiosity he s stood
waiting as his master entered through
the outer door which he considerately
bad left ajar for him. He had guessed
at certain details of his young employ
er's probable condition and knew that

bell-ringing or even knuckle-tapping on
the door.
The first thing he noted as "the un
steady Broadway entered was the fact
that his silk hat had been reversed up-
hls head; the second , was that
someone evidently had been sitting on ,
bis raglan cape while it had been
rolled rather carelessly; the third was
that his face wore an expression of re
lief and peace wlthTall the world.
Not so unsteadily that he failed en
tirely to reach the goal Jackson tacked
across the room and - found the -window.
His friendly escort was still evi
dently in his mlnd. for from the open
window he now, waved a genial hand
kerchief, whispering meanwhile
"Night-night," as if the hearty spirit
which induced the words would take
them tq the sidewalk ten score feet be-:
low. ' " '.
Having performed . this sacred rite
of friendship he regained the' center of
the room, looked about him as if curi
ously, and then went unsteadily to the
grand piano, upon which he placed his
elbow with a nestling search for com
fort which seemed to indicate a firm
decision 'to lean against the instrument
and go to sleep without delay. ; This
would never do, for whenhis slumber
became deep he would be sure to lose
his balance. Rankin saw the deep ne
cessity for rousing him from his inten-
rtpn. ' , ,
"Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, he urged,
tapping him upon the shoulder. . 1
Jackson looked up, sleepily, as if as
tonished at. the interruption of his
slumbers. "Hello," he said good na
turedly, "who's there?" , -;
."It's Rankin, sir J' said Rankin.,
"Who's "Ranking sir? " The tone was
