They alighted at a block of flats and went up to the third floor. Here, in a small, well-furnished suite of rooms, they began their little game. So far as Teddy was concerned, all went well from the beginning, and he won steadily. ‘The men ere cheerful and lost cheerily They played for fairly heavy stakes, which suited Teddy well enough hecause, after the first two or threc deals, he was playing with their money, and always he had been a plunger.

He¢ had made it one of his hobbies, and in an amateur way was quite an expert at various sleight-of- hand derices in connection with cards. Teddy had never won a penny by unfair nreans, but when he saw his opponents cheating and doing it rather clumsily, he said nothing. but began cheating himself. He continued to win their money quicker than befere. Their cheer- fuiness vanished. Their faces w a study, and Teddy's pile of win- nings grew rapidly from 100 pounds to 200 and more. ‘When it had reached 250, and the luck was still on Teddy’s side, one of the men stood up with a snarl, flung his cards on the table, shook a clenched fist within an inch of Teddy's nose and shouted: “I accuse -this man of cheating: he's a low-down commeon card- sharp. He's been cheating from the start, L believe.” Teddy smiled at him pleasantly and patiently. “You are quit> wrong,” he explained.

The laugh is on us all right, and youre not a badl sort. There's only one thing to be done. You hand back the spoils; we all shake hands, and the inci- cent is closed.” “No s0,” replied Teddy. “I don't agree with )ou. The incident s already closed. You took the same risks as I did. I shall therefor2 retain it for my personal use and profit. I have the honer to thank you for a very pleasant and amus- ing evening.” With a quick movement Teddy crumpled the pile of notes and rammed them into his pocke:. Then he stood up and backed towards the door. There was a short tense silence. One of the men was breathing in a curious hissing way. It sounded like an escape of gas. Teddy Mon- trose was still smiling, stump of his cigar out. But the three card-sharpers were desperate. It would never do for him to get away with all that money. A headlong rush woull certainly have come but for a re- markable interruption. Somewhere outside the flat the e arose a sudden terrific hubbub anl commotion. Crash! Bang!—Bang!—Bang!

The crim- sen plush curtains were swept aside, and a girl in a white silk evening gown. with a big tear in it. swung herself into the room from the iron fire staircase outside.

MOVIES ‘MORALS REVISED BY HAYS “Dont’s” Listed by Czar of In- dustry to Guide Makers New York, April 1 (UP) — The motion picture industry is about to receive from Will H. Hays, head of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc., a new laughed which was ac- an audible sigh of he said. “A police size the life.” The new code forbids depiction of crime except “in the right way,” with the criminals being brought to justice in the end. ““Scenes of passion,” it states, “shall not be introduced when not essential to the plot. The use of li- quor in American life shall be re- stricted to the actual requirements of characterization or plot.” Hays is giving the director the option of deciding how long the close-up kiss is to last. Other rules in the code include: “That the sanctity of the institu- tion of marriage and the home shall be upheld. “That crimes against law never be presented in such a way as to throw sympathy with the crime as against law and justice. “That methods of crime shall not “wholesome instincts of shall | be presented in explicit detail on the screen. The subject of white slavery shall not be treated on the screen. “Pointed profanity is forbidden. “Obscenity in word. gesture, ref- erence, song, joke, or by suggestion, is forbidden. “Indecent or undue esposure forbidden.” is OLSON WINS RACE Nome, Alaska.

Don't fool yourself Since halitosis never announces itself to the victim, you simply cannot know when you have it. Before any 'date” end halitosis Before any engagement where you wish to appear at your best, decency demands that you rinse the mouth with full strength Listerine, the safe antiseptic. By so doing you eliminate any risk of offending by hali- tosis (unpleasant breath). For Listerine overcomes bad breath instantly. You never have halitosis? Don’t fool yourself —you simply cannot know when you have it. It doesn’t an- nounce itself to the victim. But it does to others and offends them. Being an active germicide capable of killing 200,000,000 germs in 15 seconds, full strength Listerine checks mouth fermentation and in- fection—both a cause of odors. Then it gets rid of the odors: it is an instant deodorant. Keep a bottle handy in home and office and use it. It makes you agreeable to others instead of disagree- able.
