The emperor of games! Have you a man here to shake dice with me?" Ortega -understood end made no answer -Rios small and sinister and handsome hie air one of eternal well-bred Insolence kept his own counsel There came a quick tug hla sleeve Ms companion whispered in his ear Thus it was that for the first time Kendric really looked at this companion And at the first keen glance In spite of the male attire the loose coat and hat -pulled low the scarf worn high about the neck he knew that it was a woman who had entered with Ruis Rios and was whispered to Mm thought Kendric "Tell ing him not to play got her nerve coming In The question of her relationship to the Mexican was open to speculation the matter of her nerve was not That wss definitely settled by the carriage of her body which was at once defiant and Imperious the tilt of the chin barely glimpsed by the way she stood her ground as one after another pair of eyes turned upon her until every man In the room stared openly It was as useless for her to seek to disguise her sex thus as it would be for the moon to mask es a candle And she knew It and did not care Kendric understood that on the moment us there has been at times trouble senor" said Rios lightly do not know if you car to play? If so I will be most pleased for a little shake dice with the devil line self friend answered Jisa heartily must have some money from Ortega said Rios carelessly my check will get the returned Kendric pleasantly As Rios turned away with the proprietor Kendric was impelled to look again toward the woman She had moved a little to one de so that now she stood in the shadow cast by an angle of the walL He oould not see her eyes so low had she drawn her wide sombrero nor could he make out mucih of her face He bad an Impression of an oval line curving softly into the folds of her scarf of masses of black hair But one thing be knew she was looking steadily at him It did not matter that he oould not ee her eyes he oould feel them Under that hidden gaze there was a moment during which he was oddly stirred vaguely agitated It was as though she some strange woman were striving to subject his mind to the spell of her own will as though across the room she were seeking not only to read Ms thought but to mold it to the shape of her own thought He bad the uncanny sensation that her mind was rifling his that it would be hard to hide from those probing mental fingers any slightest dee ire or intention Kendric shook hSmeelf savagely angered tbsr even for an in stone he should have submitted to such ick-toh fancies But even so and while he strode to the nearby table for the dice cup he oouild not free himself from the impression which she had laid upon him She beckoned Rios as ho come back with Ortega He went to her eide and she whispered to ham will play here at this end of the room Rios sold to Kendric As Kendric looked quite naturally from the one who spoke to the one from whom so obviously the order had come he saw for the first time the gleam of the woman's eyes A very little she had lifted the brim of her hat so that from beneath she could watch what went forward They held his gaze riveted they seemed to glow in the shadows as though with some inner tight He could not Judge their color they were mere luminous pools He started with an odd fancy he caught himself wondering if those eyes could I see in the dark? Again he shrugged as though to shake physically from Mm these strange fancies He snatched up the little table and brought it to where Ruiz Rios waited putting it down not three feet from the silent companion And all the time though now he refused to turn his head toward her he was conscious of the strangely disturbing certainty that those luminous eyes were regarding him with unshtfthvg 4r 'U Jft Cut of in of The The v' 1 i-- Vr ty 'V rzm SANFORD ILLS I Employes of Local Concern Make Merry Saturday Afternoon at Fort Phoenix Fairhaven Sports Attract Attention NEW BEDFORD Aug Special cars from Fall River brought over Saturday afternoon about 350 employes of the Sanford Mills of that city for the annual outing held at Fort Phoenix Fairhaven Arriving early in the afternoon the visitors had plenty of time for a long program of sports and a clambake under the tent Many of the visitors remained for bathing and dancing First on the list of sports was the 100-yard dash fol men The winner was Harold Hamer with Eugene Menard second The sport winners follows: 50 -yard dash for women Alma Lapointe first Flora Broule-tte second Three-legged race for men Fred Bennett first William Carroll second Three-'legged race for women Mary Kenney first Katherine Kenney second Sack race for men lea Souza first Harold Hamer second Sack race for women Sylvia first Mary Kenney second Fat race Manuel Pacheoo first George Preston second Fat race Georgianna Levesque first Mary Ouellette second Shoe race for woman Loretta Arsenault first Antoinette Belisle second Wheelbarrow race Charles Souza first Daniel Mercier second Tug-of-war Won by picked team pulling against the Twisters The fun came In the wheelbarrow race The contestants started off from a given point blindfolded The winner was the one placing his bar-row the nearest to a tape line Moat of the contestants wheeled their bar-rows all over the lot The committee in charge included Patrick Feather-stone John Correira Nelson Kesseli Daniel Mercier John Dupre Arthur Daley Charles Dumont George Preeton James Morey There a so Evans Margaret Driscoll Anniq Williams and Katherine Lee 1 I Amusem*nts NEW by Rural Comedy Drama Player Thi Week Empire New a rural comedy drama written by Denman Thompson will be the of the Empire Players this week vorltes of the company will be seen to decided advantage in this play of the New Hampshire country and a de lightful entertainment is assured This comedy drama has stood for pars as the best effort of Denman Thompson and it is one of those wholesome plays clean and entertaining Love and romance ha place in the story and there delicious comedy The Empire Flay is TS In Which a Young American Known as Plays at Dica With On in Man's Cloth ing Who Is Not a Men Jim Kendric had arrived and the border town knew It well All who knew the man foresaw that ha would oome with a rush tarry briefly tor a bit of wild Joy and leave with rush for the Lord knetw where and the Lord knew why For such wfta ever the way of Jim Kendric A letter at the poetoffice had been the means of advising the entire community of the coming of Kendric The letter was from Bruce West down in Lower California and scrawled across the flap were instructions to the pootmeter to hold It for Jim Kendric who would arrive within a coupfle of weeks Furthermore the word urgent was not to be overlooked Among the men drawn together in hourly expectation of the arrival of Kendric one remarked thoughtfully: Mex friend is in town" "Bulz some one asked a man from the outside "Been here three days Just sticking around and doing nothing but smoke cigarettes Looks like he was "What for?"
