CHAPTER I.
Carnival.
Jschln Fell pushed aside the glass
curtains between the voluminous over-
draperies in the windows of the Chess
and Checkers club, and gaaAi out upon
the riotous streets of New Orleans.
Half an hour he had been waiting here
In the lounge room for Dr. Cyril Ans-
ley, a middle-aged bachelor who had
practiced In. -Opelousas for twenty
years, and who had come to the city
for the Mardl Gras festivities. An-
other man might have seemed Irritated
by the wait, but Jachin Fell was quite
unrudVed.
He had much the air of a clerk. Ills
features were thin and unremarkable;
ids pale eyes constantly wore an ex-
pression Of wondering aloofness, as
ihoiigh.he saw around him much that
he vainly tried to understand. In his
entire manner ^eas a shy reticence. He
was no clerk, however; this was evi-
dent from his attire. He was garbed
from head to foot .in soberly blending
shades of gray whose richness was
notable only at close view. One fan-
cied him a very precise sort of man, an
old maid of,rtUc vyrong sex.
Doctcc Ansley, an Inverness flung
over his evening clothes, entered the
lounge room, and Fell turned to him
with a dry, toneless chuclfrle.
"You're the limit! Did you forget
we were going to the Maillards' to-
night? However, we need not leave for
fifteen minutes yet, at least."
Doctor Ansley laid aside his cape,
stick and bat and dropped Into one of
the comfortable big chairs.
"You Intend to mask for the Mall-
lards' 7" Ansley cast his eye over the
gray business attire of the little man.
"I never mask." Jachin Fell shook
his head. 'Til get a domino and go as
I am. Excuse me—I'll order a domino
now. Back In a momenta
Doctor Ansley followed the slight
figure of the other man with specula-
tive eyes. Well as he knew Jachin
Fell, he invariably found the man a
source of puzzled speculation.
During manyr' years Jachin Fell had
been a member of the most exclusive
New Orleans clubs. Hp was even re-
ceived in the inner circles of Creole
society, which In itself was evidence su-
preme as to his position. At this par-
ticular club he was famed as a wizard
master of chess. He never entered a
tournament, yet he consistently defeat-
ed the champions in private matches—
defeated them with a bewildering ease,
a shy and apologetic ease, an ease
which left th> beholders Incredulous
and aghast. ,
With all this, Jachin Fell Was very
much of a mystery, even among his
closest friends. Very little was known
of him; he was a lawyer, and certaltfly
maintained offices in the Malson
Blanche building, but he never ap-
peared In the courts and no case of his
pleading was known.
Ansley knew him as well as did most
men, and Ansley knew of a few who
could boast of having been a guest In
Jachin Fell's home. There was a moth-
er, an Invalid, of whom Fell sometimes
spoke and to whom he appeared to de-
vote himself. The family, an old one
In the city, promised to die out with
Jachin FelL
/ Ansley puffed at his cigar and con-
sidered these things. Outside, In the
New Orleans streets, was rocketing
the mad mirth of carnival. The week
preceding Mardl Gras was at Its close.
Now, as ever, was Mardl Gras sym-
bolized by masques. In New Orleans
the masquerade was not the pale and
pitiful frolic of colder climes, where
the occasion Is but one for display of
Jewels and costumes, and where actual
concealment of identity is a farce.
If ere In New Orleans were Jewels and
costumes In a profusion of splendor;
but here was preserved the underlying
idea of the masque Itself—that In con-
cealment of identity lay the life of the
thing!
When Jachin Fell returned and light-
ed his cigar he sank Into one of the
luxurious chairs beside Ansley and In-
dicated a newspaper lying across the
latter's knee, its flaring headlines
standing out blackly.
"What's • that about the Midnight
Masquer? 'He's not appeared again?"
"What?" Ansley glanced at him In
surprise. , "You've not heard? Good
heavens, man! He showed up last
night at the Lapeyrouse dance, two
minutes before midnight, as usual! A
defective had been engaged, but was
afterward found locked in a closet,
bound with his own handcuffs. The
Masquer wore his usual costume—and
went through the party famously,
stripping everyone In sight Then he
backed through the doors and van-
ished.*
Fel! f '*nted his cigar at the ceiling,
and A MAh, most Interesting!
The loov vas valued at about a hun-
dred thousandT* •
' 1
"I thought you said you d not heard j
of It?" demanded Ansley. .
Fell laughed softly and shyly. "1
didn't. I merely hazarded a guess."
"Wizard The doctor iaughed in
unison. "Yes, about that amount."
"The Masquer is a piker," observed
Fell, In his toneless voice. ^
"Eh? A piker—when he can make a
hundred-thousand-dollar haul ?"
"Don't dream that those figures rep-
resent value, Doctor. They don't! All
the loot the Masquer has taken since
he began work is worth little to him.
Jewels are hard .to sell, Of course, the
crook has obtalued a bit of money, but
not enough to be worth the risk."
"Yet he has got quite a bit," re-
turned Ansley thoughtfully. "All the
men have money, naturally; we don't
want to find ourselves bare at some
gay carnival moment! I'd warrant
you've a hundred or so In your pocket
right now!"
"Not L" rejoined Fell, calmly. "One
ten-dollar bill. Also I left my watch
at home. And I'm not dressed; I don't
care to lose my pearl studs."
"Eh?" Ansley frowned. "What do
you mean?"
Jachin took a folded paper from his
pocket and handed It to the physician.
"I niet Malllnfd at the bank this
morning. He called me into his office
and handed me this—he had Just re-
ceived it in the mail."
Doctor Ansley opened the folded pa-
per; an exclamation broke from him
tCwiv
"Eh? A Piker—When Hs Can Maks
a Hundred Thousand Dollar Haul?"
as he read the note, which was ad-
dressed to their host of the evening.
"Joseph Malllard, President,
"Exeter National Banfc, City.
"I thank you for the masque that
you are giving tonight. I shall be preis-
ent. Plfase see that Mrs. M. wears her
diamonds—I need them.
"THE MIDNIGHT MASQUER."
Ansley glanced up. "What's this—
some hoax? Some carnival Jest'"
"Malllard pretended to think so."
Fell shrugged his shoulders as he re-
pocketed the note. "But he was nerv-
ous. He'll have a brace of detectives
inside the house tonight, and others
outside."
Ever since the first ball of the year
by the Twelfth Night club this Mid-
night Masquer, as he was termed, had
held New Orleans gripped in terror,
fasclntftlon' and vivid interest. During
the past month he appeared at least
lance a week, now at some private ball,
now at Some restaurant banquet, but
always In the same garb: the helmet,
huge goggles and mask, and leathern
clothes of a service avlatbr. On these
occasions the tlirobbing roar of n air-
plane motor had been reported, so that
it was popular gossip that he landed
on the roof of his designated vlctliua
and made hLs getaway in the same
manner—by airplane. - No machine
had ever been Seen, arid tlie theory
was believed by some, hooted at by
others.
Doctor Ansley glnnced at his watch,
and deposited his cigar in an ash tray.
."We'd best be moving, Fell. Ydull
want a domino?",
"I ordered one. It'll be here In a
minute."
"Do you seriously think that note Is
genuine?"
Fell shrugged lightly. "Who knows?
I'm not worried. Malllard can afford
to be robbed."
"You're a calm one!" Ansley
chuckled. "Oh, I believe the prince is
to be there tonight. You've met him,
I suppose?"
"No. Heard something atwut him,
though. An American, isn't he? They

Ansley U'.ii vd. "Quite a fine chap.

"Still, be'.* hti American n5>w. Calls

A page brought, the domino. Fell,
discarding the nt.iak, threw the domino
about his shoulders, and the two men
left the dub in company.
They sought thei^ destination sf4K«t
—the home of the banker Joseph Mall-
lard. The streets were riotous, filled
with an eddying, laughing crowd of
masquers and merrymakers of all ag.*s
and sexes; confetti twirled through
the air, horns were deafening, and
laughing voices rose into sharp screams
of unrestrained delight.
At last gaining St. Charles avenue,
with the Malllard residence a half-
dozen blocks distant, the two compan-
ions found themselves well away from
the main carnival throngs.
As they walked along they were sud-
denly aware of a lithe figure approach-
ing from the rear; with a running leap
and an exclamation of delight the fig-
ure forced Itself In between them,
grasping an arm of either man, and
a bantering voice broke in upon their
trajn of talk.

Wood Believed to Hay,e Been the Bs*
sis of Jet, Ufsd for Centuries
for Ornaments.
Jet Is a sort of llgnltf^or anthracite,
often cut and polished, which has the
peculiarities In weight and texture of
the hardest kind of anthracite. It has
been used In Britain since before his-
toric times nnd was common In the
bronze age, - from which tiroes have
come Jet beads, buttons, rings, arm-
lets and other ormynents.
Julius daesar alludes to the abun-
dance of Jet In Britain and Jet orna-
ments are found with Roman relics in
them, the Detroit News recalls. The
monks used Jet for rosary beads at
Whitby abbey and at Whitney, where
It was found In the greatest abun-
dance. It occurs In irregular masses
In bard shale known as Jet rock.
Often microscopic examination dis-
closes coniferous wood In the composi-
tion of jet. It Is probable that Jet was
developed when masses of wood drift-
ed down a river, rotted or became wa-
ter-logged and sank out at sea, becom-
ing gradually burled in a deposit of
fine mud, which hardened eventually ™ ^ 7 s on n
Into shale. Sometimes drops of bltu-j N°* ' *** * *•
