# Love for a Woman Prompts Jimmie Dale, a| Rich New York Clubman, to Masquerade in the Undeworld as Larry the Bat, as the Gray Seal, and as Smarlinghue, the Poor Artist. | (Copyright, 1919, ty George M, Doran Company.) CHAPTER L A DIMINUTIVE gas-jet's sickly, yellow flame {Illuminated the room with poverty-stricken inadequacy; high up on the wall, border- ing the ceiling, the moonlight, as though contemptuous of its arti- ficial competitor, streamed in through a small, square window Sand eid a” white, flickering path to the door across a filthy and disrepa- (able rag of carpet; also, through a rent in the roller shade, which was @rawn over a sort of antiquated French window that opened on a tevel ‘with the floor and in line with the top light, the moonlight disclosed a nar- few and squalid courtyard without. In one corner of the room stood a battered easél, while against the wall near it, and upon the floor, were a number of canvas of different sizes. A cot bed, unmade, its covers dirty and in disorder, occupied the wall space opposite the -door, In the centre % the mean and uninviting apartment stood a table, its top littered with “odds and ends, among which the re- mains of @ mea), dishes and food, fraternized gregariously with a painters * Palette, brushes and paint tubes. A chair or two, long since disabled, and @ rickety washstand completed the appointments, The moonlight's path across floor wavered suddenly, the door opened, was locked , and with a quick, cat-like step a man moved along tho side of the wall where the shadows lay thickest near the door, dropped on “his knees, and began to fumble hurriedly with the baseboard of the wall, pausing at every alter- mate second to listen intently. A minute passed. A section of the rd was lifted out, the man's hand was thrust inside—and emerged again With a large roll of banknotas, He turned his head for a quick glance around the room, his eyes, burning out of a gaunt, hollow- cheek pallid face, held on the torn window shade—and then, in almost frantic haste, he thrust the banknotes back inside the wall, and began to Pe igeed the baseboard.

Heard of me perhaps, too—eh? Clancy of headquarters {gs my name!” He laughed menacingly, unpleas- antly. Smarlinghuo’s clothes were thread- bare and ill-fitting; his coat was a size too small for him, and from the short sleeves protruded blatantly the frayed and soiled wristbands of his asbirt. “I haven't done anything, honest to God, I haven't!" he whined. ‘Ain't, eh?" The other laughed. “No, of course not! Nobody ever did! But now I'm here—just dropped in socially, you know—I'll have a look around.” Clancy, as he had introduced him- self, shot up the roller shade, peered out into the courtyard, yanked the shade down again with a callous Jerk that almost tore it from its fas- tenings. Clancy bi Soe gruffly, pulled an- other chair to the opposite side of the table, sat down himself, and eyed Smarlinghue coldly for a moment.
