"You know that I I did care for Miss Hillfield enormously." said he.

"The shock of seeing you together like that made me forget myself. I confess it; I acted like a cad." "Well, it is over and done with," answered Lionel. "There is no reason why we should not be friends." Gaspare Villars turned away. "No reason!" he said to himself. "My soul, there is a very great reason why I should hate you.

Yet friends we must appear; but as your mortal enemy I soon strike at vou!" "By Jove! the man can act." It was Sir Nigel Hillfield who sooke. whispering the words to his neighbor, Esmond Brewis. That officer, fascinated, nodded. A stage had been put up. at one end of the great ballroom, and an amateur performance of a drama was being enacted.

The entire affair had been managed by Gaspare Villars, whose idea it was, and who had aroused enthusiasm amone: the guests. It was his acting that had drawn Sir Nigel's whisper of admiration. The Stage was in semi-darkness. A man in evening" dress had flung himself upon a sofa in an attitude of extreme exhaustion. He appeared to be deeply asleep.

The door of the room was slowly opening and a man's head was thrust through. He looked terrible. His eyes flashed; his mustache seemed bristling with rage. His breathing, hoarse Under the strain of overpowering emotion, reached the ears of the audience. He was Gaspare Villars.

He entered, crouching like a wild beast. In his right hand he held a long dagger one those double-edged weapons used for parrying sword-thrusts in the far-bade days when a mans life depended on his rapier and dagger play. vite nine of the foremost European masters and three Americans, the three Americans to include Marshall and Capablanca and one other to be selected. Th tournamefrt will be a two-round tournament, a unique feature being that each player will meet bis opponent twice in icucce.sion. The expenses for the undertaking will approximate which amount will be raised by subscriptions from chess associations, clubs and individual players throughout the United States.

A daily bulletin will also be issued giving the scores of all games. A preliminary tournament will, likely be held to determine the third American who hall have the privilege of participating in the masters', tournament. Dr. Lasker announces that 8chlechter and Rubinstein have agreed to play a match at St. Petersburg next autumn.

The St. Petersburg Club desires to arrange a four-handed tournament and have invited Jose R. Capablanca and Dr. Emanuel Lanker' as the other two player. Dr.

Lasker, while appreciating the invitation, state that it is doubtful whether he will be able to enter the tournament, as he ii now engaged in other work which such a tournament would seriously interfere with. Dr. Lasker adds that is unwise to enter tournament of this kind, excepting after considerable lapw of time between each event. That the' work Is strenuous and, though the future player may win honor and glory, yet perhaps at too great a price, and then the world's champion adds the following piece of philosophy, which la well worth a second thought!

The other had opened his eyes. He caught the descending wrist, and closed with the assassin. The curtain tell soon after.

The play was voted a success, and Villars' acting was a good deal-commented-on. Lieutenant Brewis was still thinking about it when he retired. He turned mechanically to lock his door, according to his habit, and was surprised to find that the key was missing. He looked on the other side of the lock. No, it was not there.

"You know bother take the fellow," went on Lionel falteringly; "but but Gaspare Villars dared to boast, openly, that that you do not regard him as other men, Of course" "I do not," interrupted Dolly swiftly. "Most other men know I esteem, but he he Lionel, I Used to be just a little afraid of h.m; but that is East.

Yet who should I keep any secret from you? made love to me, would not take no for an an-wer." "But he will have to now eh?" cried Lionel, laughing aloud in his joy. "I have an answer good -enough for him; it is this," and he kissed Dolly Upon the lips. Two seconds later he had forgotten the name of his rival, but during those two moments there had flashed upon him a warning uttered by his friend Lieutenant Esmond Brewis, also a guest at the house. "Keep an eye on Villars." Brewis had said. "I have known him figure in one or two love affairs, and he is a desperate, a dangerous fellow." "Shall we go in?" said Dolly, at length.

"They Will be wondering where we are." "Let 'em. Who cares? Ah!" A man was sauntering down the avenue. They heard his footsteps, but saw only the glowing end of his cigar. He was opposite to the couple when he became aware of their presence. Turning ly he showed them the face of Gaspare Villars.

That swarthy countenance was instantly lit up by a glare of passion. Villars perceived how matters fetood, but had no time to curb the tempest of disappointment and hate that surged up within him. He took a step forward, his distorted face but a few inches from Lionel's. "Curse you!" he said hoarsely. "Curse'" Lionel was never afterwards sure whether he was on the point of knocking him down, or not.

The presence of the shrinking girl at his side re-strained him for a moment, and in that moment a newcomer came up. It Was Lieutenant Brewis. "Hullo!" cried that individual gayly. "What conspiracy is going on here in the dark?" Gaspare Villars turned away with a muttered imprecation, and Brewis, after a swift glance at Lionel and Dolly, wisely went on, whistling blithe-Jy, but thinking hard. That night, as Gaspare Villars, a prey to the violence of his thoughts, turning over project after project as to how he might yet win the girl on whom he had set his heart, lay on a sleepless bed in the north wing of the house, he was startled to hear the handle of his bedroom door rattle, and the portal pushed slowly open.

He sprang up and switched on the light. A startling object met his eyes. Lieutenant Brewis, in night attire, his eyes wide open in the set store of the somnambulist, was advancing upon him with outstretched arms. Without a cry of warning he leaped at the throat of Villars. who instantly closed with him.

II. There were marks of human fingers under Villars' collar when he came down to breakfast next morning, but he was in an exceptionally bright humor. "I must renew my profound regrets," said Es-mond Brewis to him when they were alone. "What a fool I made of myself last night! I forgot to lock myself in my room. I am a confirmed somnambulist.

I am all right unless I read or see something very sensational overnight. I sat up late reading a most exciting novel in which one of the characters does his best to exterminate, by strangling, his unfortunate encmy I got up in my sleep and tried to repeat the incident on you. I had no businessto break my rule by exciting this fioor brain of mine at a late hour. I am most aw-ully sorry." "Ah, that is all right my friend," laughed Villars. "Say no more about it." A remarkable change had come over Gaspare Villars.

His customary moroseness and taciturn manner were replaced by a feverish, restless buoyancy of -spirits. And Lionel received the surprise Voigrt D.

PROBLEM NO. 543. By REV. A. CYRIL PEARSON BLACK.

Brewis was annoyed; but there was no help for it; all the rest of the hoUse had gona to bed. Aware of his somnambulistic habit, he had been accustomed to lock himself in and put the key where he could not get it without waking hirrrtelf. Half an hour later he had switched out the light and was fast asleep. He did not hear his bedroom door softly open. A man stood on the threshold, listening intently.

Sure that the inmate of the chamber was slumbering, he advanced cautiously. Something gleamed in his hand. It was that very dagger from Sir Nigel's collection of his ancestors' weapons in the great hall below which had been used in the drama played that night. The intruder placed the weapon upon a small table in the centre of the apartment and went out as silently as he had entered. "It will be thought, of course, that he went downstairs for it, in his sleep," murmured Gaspare Villars as he moved to his room, which was next to the lieutenant's in the corridor.

On the further side of his room was that occupied by Lionel. They were the only rooms in the corridor that had inmates. Villars left his door open. He was not undressed. He waited on the threshold, waited patiently, consuming cigarette after cigarette.

Two hours "assed. Through a great stamed window at the end of the passage the moon was pouring blood-red ravs. Suddenly Villars started. He had heard a sound. Peering into the corridor he saw Lieutenant Brewis emerging from his room.

He was fast asleep, and in his right hanti flashed the dagger which had been placed ready to his grip! Gaspare Villars turned very white. What he had been planning was now happening. He had arranged the play removed the key of the adjoining room, put the dagger on its table for one deep-laid, deadly purpose. It was his idea to make Esmond Brewis an unwitting murderer the slayer of Lionel Silcott. The lieutenant might blame himself for the terrible deed, but who else would? He and Lionel were known to be great friends; the officer's sleep-walking habits had been only too patent a few nights ago.

He would be tried, but surely acquitted. Villars drew back, closing the door of his room. He felt that the lieutenant would Certainly try his "door first being the nearest to his own. Nor was he mistaken. The somnambulist, acting in a moving nightmare the sensational episode he had witnessed that evening, turned the handle.

But Villars had his weight upon the door. He heard Brewis sigh deeply, then move away. Villars had the door open instantly after. The sleeping man was continuing down the corridor. He stopped at the next door Lionel's.

He opened it. He went in! A silence ensued. Gaspare Villars was shaking as if in the grio of an ague. Had Brewis done the deed? Had he plunged the dagger into the heart of the unconscious victim? It was possible that the latter might die without uttering a sound. It was possible A hoarse shout rang through the corridor.

It wai followed by the overturning of a heav- piece of furniture, and the sound tt men struggling as if in deadly combat. I jAAumM. mm 'mm Right Remedy Found At Last.

Rushing into the adjoining room he perceived two men rolling over and over in the half-darkness. "Turn on the light shouted Lionel' voice. The electric lignt bathed the apartment, and re-veiled Lieutenant Brewis en his back on the carpet, with Lionel's fingers round his throat, and the dagger lying, bloodless, a yard away. Lionel had escaped death bv a hair's breadth. He said afterwards that he; too, had been dreaming about the play, and had awoke with a shiver of fear running through him.

An instant later he had seen the door of his room open. Transfixed with astonishment he watched Esmond Brewis advance, and only by a sudden spring had he escaped the downward stab of the dagger. It was impossible that the truth of the affair could come to light, and only one person vaguely suspected it. That one was Emerson Brewis. He put this and that together, and the end of it was that he had a private interview with Gaspare Villars.

What he said to him will never be known, but oh the evening of the following day Villars announced, that he had a pressing call to town. And from that hour he disappeared out of the lives of Dolly and the man she loved. -1- tf- WHERE THERE ARE NO SUFFRAGETTES The Isle of whose Parliament, the House of Keys, has been on Strike, has a very different set of laws from those in England.
