From the parlor sofa, the muffled sobs of Diana, his shapely and lovely young daughter, expressed ex-pressed an unshakable defiance. He glared at her with all the anger a deep love would permit. "I I AM going to marry Jim Bailey," she chanted monotonously. "I don't care if he HASN'T got the money he ought to have to start in business.

As be stalked Into the elub, he spied the ruddy, muscular young object of his quest. In the black and white of dinner clothes, Jim Bailey sat watching a game in the busy card room. Jim rose, and the table fell silent, as the grim old man came up. "Jim Bailey," Adam Courtney thundered, "are you man enough to take a gamble?" Jim Bailey simply stared. "I understand you have three thousand In the savings bank," old Courtney said. "I'll put up two dollars dol-lars to every one of yours. Give you two to one on every bet. Six thousand thous-and to three thousand, table stakes. If you lose you will agree to leave my daughter alone." "And what if I win?" asked Jim Bailey. "Win?" Adam Courtney's bony face paled. "Win you marry her, lr, of course." Jim Bailey hesitated, and the whole room stopped breathing. Everybody Ev-erybody understood the struggle that had been going on between him and Diana, on the one Imini, dni Diana's father on the other. Under ordinary circumstances, no one would expect him to agree to risk losing his money and his hope of future happiness on the turn of a card. But suddenly It had dawned on everybody that this situation was not ordinary. Only two weeks before, the old man bad caned a newspaper editor who had intimated that Adam Courtney, Court-ney, in the old days on the Coast, had been a professional gambler. No one believed a word of the accusation. accu-sation. But now, to refuse publicly to play would tell the world you believed be-lieved what the editor had written, and were afraid of being rooked.

"Cash!" said Adam Courtney grimly. Next evening, each bearing bis stake of three thousand dollars, they took their seats in the card room. "Draw poker," announced Adam Courtney, tearing open the pack. "Table stakes. And," he leaned across the table and looked Jim Bailey in the eye, "a gentleman's agreementl" "Okay," Jim Bailey said. "Will you cut, sir?" Open gambling was not permitted in the club. But what employee would dare stop this? Like wildfire the news spread. Members hurried in Just in time to see the old man lose five hundred dollars on a full house, against Jim Bailey's four tens. At first, luck seemed to favor Jim Bailey.

II he did, the game was over. He would lose his money, and Diana, too. Jim Bailey's hand shook as be riffled his remaining pile. Since the old man hardly had held four-of-a-kind to start with, and had drawn but one card, the odds were forty to one against his now having four-of-a-kind or better. Suddenly, his face no longer ruddy, Jim Bailey pushed his whole pile forward. "I call, sir," he said. He spread out his hand. "I've got a full-house aces over queens." Then occurred one of those disturbing dis-turbing Interruptions which explain the new screens at the card room door. There was a cry and a commotion, com-motion, and Diana, Adam Courtney's Court-ney's daughter, appeared in the doorway, staring in at the players. She was dressed to go to the dance. Her hair was arranged in the style of twenty years ago. In a white satin dress which had belonged be-longed to her mother, she looked (as an elderly member said) the spitting spit-ting image of Adam Courtney's dead wife. Old Adam Courtney glanced up, stared, as at a ghost Heaven only knows what memory perhaps oi his and his wife's glowing early happinesspassed hap-pinesspassed through his mind. He drew a deep, slow breath. Hit cane dropped and clattered. Hit white head disappeared beneath the table as he retrieved the cane from the floor. This distraction lasted but a moment. mo-ment. Then Adam Courtney sat uj and faced Jim Bailey. Leaning awkwardly awk-wardly forward, bis left hand heavy on the table, the old man turned bit own cards up, one by one. THE KING OF DIAMONDS. "One!" the crowd breathed. THE KING OF HEARTS. "Two!" the crowd whispered. THE KING OF CLUBS. "Three!" the crowd murmured. mur-mured. Then he turned THI QUEEN OF DIAMONDS. It was his last card. Not only bad he failed to catch the king of spades on the draw, apparently ap-parently he had drawn but one card, when he should have drawn two. He held only four cards, a worthiest hand. The grim old man had lost! Jim Bailey had won, not only the old man's three thousand, but nil daughter. Jim Bailey gathered in all the money. He stood up, holding it in his band. Everyone watched Adam Courtney's daughter as Jim Bailey crossed to where she stood framed in the doorway. She touched Jim's arm and hesitated. hesi-tated. Of course she had been told what was up. The money in Jim's hand told her the rest She ran to, her father. The grim old man ig-l nored her. She put her arm around him and kissed him full on the yel-j low stain in bis white moustache.
