He had won a great deal of money by making unfair matches with strangers, goad- ing their into wagers Well, it was my own fault. I asked sympathy neither from the gallery nor from myself, but played the best golf I knew. It was not good enough so lacking was I in practice, even to give him an argument.

Had I not adhered to all those righteous rules which the strong have laid down for the en- slavement of the weak, and seen that adherence lead nie from boarding- house to tenement, from tenement to alum, and from slum to the edge of the grave? Honor had brought me starvation. What cant would term dishonor, had brought me a full stomach. Well, I had done with cant. The world had its rules; one must be productive or constructive, said the world. There was no place for those who belonged in neither class. And yet the lying world gave its best in place, in esteem, in what it termed success, to those outside those rigid categories. Steal, and be jailed; but steal enough and t_ be honored. Kill, and be hanged; but kill sufficiently, and be enthroned. The rules were made for the herd; but I, John Ainsley, was no lamb to be shepherded.

We played in the Kernoch'an apartment, and I won a few dollars. But I did more than that. I won the liking of old Kernochan, and even the sour -featured daughter and her pop- eyed lover were quite cordial. Kerno- chan, live all parvenue ---he was ob- viously that—talked continuously of his wealth. I learned that he was a retired broker, and that Vantine was the chief owned of a detective -agency that bore his name. This latter fact came out when Kernochan showed me, as proof of his great wealth, a ring which he had given his daughter upon her engagement to Vantine. He brought it from an inner room. „The 'setting is a little loose,', so Alice isn't wearing it," he told nue "I shall have it fixed in New' York next, week." I admired the ring. An enormous ruby, it was worthy of. the warmest admiration. And I, who had dealt so successfully with another ring no so long ago, eyed it with longing appre- ciation.
