It all depends upon the manner of your entrance to the Castle of Adventure. One does not have to scale Its beetling parapets or assault Its scarps and frowning bastions ; neither Is one obliged lo force with clamor and blaring trumpeta and glittering gorgets the drawbridge and portcullis. Rather the pathway lies through one of those many little doors, obscure, yet easily accessible, latchless and boltlesa, to which the average person gives no particular attention, and yet which Invariably lead to the very heart of this The whimsical Castle Delectable. chatelaine of this enchanted keep is a shy goddess. Circumspection has no part in her affairs, nor caution, nor practicality; nor does her eye Unger upon the dullard and the blunderer. Imagination solves the secret riddle, and wit Is the guide that leads the seeker through the winding, bewildering labyrinths. And there is something in being idle, too! s If I had not gone Idly into cellar for dinner that night, I ahould have missed the most engaging adventure that ever fell to my lot. It la second nature for me to be guided by impulse rather than by reason; reason is always so square-toe- d and You Impulse Is always bo alluring. will find that nearly all the great captains were and are creatures of Impulse; nothing brilliant Is ever All thia Is achieved by calculation. not to say that 1 am a great caji It is offered only to mm 111' I am often impulsive.

The clairvoyant never has any fun In this i cycle; he has no surprises. I had been away from New York for several weeks, and had returned only that afternoon. Thus, the spirit of unrest acquired by travel waa still upon me. It waa nearly holiday week, and those congenial friends 1 might have called upon, to while away the evening, were either busily occupied with shopping or were out of town; and I determined not to go to the club and be bored by some Indifferent billiard player. I would dine quietly, listen to some light music, and then go to the theater. I waa searching the theatrical amusements, when the society column Indifferently attacked my eye. I do not know why it Is, but I have a wholesome contempt for the society columns of the dally newspaper In New York. Mayhap, It la because I do not belong. I read this paragraph with a shrug, and that one with a smirk.

It would be all the same to me if she never came hack. None of the wishy-wash- y tittle-tattl- e interested me, In e fact There waa only one little paragraph that really caught me. On Friday night (that is to say, the night of my adventures In Blankshire), . the Hunt Club was to give a charily masquerade dance. This grasped my adventurous spirit by the throat and refused to let go. The atmosphere surrounding - the paragraph was spirituous with enchantment There was a genuine novelty about this dance. Two packs of playing cards had been sent out as tickets; one pack to the ladles and one to the gentlemen. Charming Idea, wasn't it? These cards were to be shown at the door, together with ten dollars, but were to be retained by the recipients till two o'clock (supper time), at which moment everybody was to unmask and take his partner, who held the corresponding card, In to upper. Its newness strongly appealed to me. I found myself reading the paragraph over and over. By Jove, what an Inspiration! I knew the Blankshire Hunt Club, with Its colonial architecture, Its great ball room, lta quaint fireplaces. Its tables and aheda, and the fame of its chef. It was one of those great country clubs tjiat keep open house the ear round. It stood back from the sea about four miles and was within five miles of the village.

Dan Kelly, the Oregon sprinter, who , running 100 yards In 9 seconds, after considerable argument as to the authenticity of the figures, makes the statement that no man will ever be able to run the 100 yards In nine seconds flat unless the runner can beat the starter's gun In getting away from the mark. Kelly first made this statement when Arthur Duffey made the prediction that 100 yards could and would be stepped off In that time. Kelly, In a recent letter to a friend, said: The only way the mark could be reached would be to beat the gun. To legitimately do the 100 yards In nine seconds Is impossible. Tbe speed limit will have been reached when the sprinter Is developed who can do the Men well seconds. distance In 9 posted In the sprinting game think Kelly Is right, and point to the fact that It Is well known that several records now on the books were made by beating the gun.
