<p>“Oh, you madcap!” exclaimed the elder girl, when the other entered. “When will you quit frightening us this way? It is two hours since you ran out in that rag of an old dress and Maries hat. Mamma has been so alarmed. She sent Louis in the auto to try to find you. You are a bad, thoughtless Puss.”</p>
<p>The elder girl touched a button, and a maid came in a moment.</p>
<p>“Marie, tell mamma that Miss Marian has returned.”</p>
<p>“Dont scold, sister. I only ran down to <abbr>Mme.</abbr> Theos to tell her to use mauve insertion instead of pink. My costume and Maries hat were just what I needed. Every one thought I was a shopgirl, I am sure.”</p>

<p>“Dinner is over, dear; you stayed so late.”</p>
<p>“I know. I slipped on the sidewalk and turned my ankle. I could not walk, so I hobbled into a restaurant and sat there until I was better. That is why I was so long.”</p>
<p>The two girls sat in the window seat, looking out at the lights and the stream of hurrying vehicles in the avenue. The younger one cuddled down with her head in her sisters lap.</p>

<p>But there would be sundry gentlemen there with large gold fob chains and black cigars; and somebody would tell a funny story, and then Dempsey would go back and work half an hour with the six-pound dumbbells. So, doing a tightrope act on a wire stretched across Niagara was a safe terpsichorean performance compared with waltzing twice with Dempsey Donovans paper-box girl. At 10 oclock the jolly round face of “Big Mike” OSullivan shone at the door for five minutes upon the scene. He always looked in for five minutes, smiled at the girls and handed out real perfectos to the delighted boys.</p>
<p>Dempsey Donovan was at his elbow instantly, talking rapidly. “Big Mike” looked carefully at the dancers, smiled, shook his head and departed.</p>
<p>The music stopped. The dancers scattered to the chairs along the walls. Terry OSullivan, with his entrancing bow, relinquished a pretty girl in blue to her partner and started back to find Maggie. Dempsey intercepted him in the middle of the floor.</p>
<p>Some fine instinct that Rome must have bequeathed to us caused nearly every one to turn and look at them—there was a subtle feeling that two gladiators had met in the arena. Two or three Give and Takes with tight coat sleeves drew nearer.</p>

<p>“One moment, <abbr>Mr.</abbr> OSullivan,” said Dempsey. “I hope youre enjoying yourself. Where did you say you live?”</p>
<p>The two gladiators were well matched. Dempsey had, perhaps, ten pounds of weight to give away. The OSullivan had breadth with quickness. Dempsey had a glacial eye, a dominating slit of a mouth, an indestructible jaw, a complexion like a belles and the coolness of a champion. The visitor showed more fire in his contempt and less control over his conspicuous sneer. They were enemies by the law written when the rocks were molten. They were each too splendid, too mighty, too incomparable to divide preeminence. One only must survive.</p>
<p>“I live on Grand,” said OSullivan, insolently; “and no trouble to find me at home. Where do you live?”</p>

<p>“Gone to fight with Dempsey!” she said, breathlessly. “Theyve got to be stopped. Dempsey Donovan cant fight him. Why, hell—hell kill him!”</p>
<p>“Ah, what do you care?” said Rosa. “Dont some of em fight every hop?”</p>
<p>But Maggie was off, darting her zigzag way through the maze of dancers. She burst through the rear door into the dark hall and then threw her solid shoulder against the door of the room of single combat. It gave way, and in the instant that she entered her eye caught the scene—the Board standing about with open watches; Dempsey Donovan in his shirt sleeves dancing, light-footed, with the wary grace of the modern pugilist, within easy reach of his adversary; Terry OSullivan standing with arms folded and a murderous look in his dark eyes. And without slacking the speed of her entrance she leaped forward with a scream—leaped in time to catch and hang upon the arm of OSullivan that was suddenly uplifted, and to whisk from it the long, bright stiletto that he had drawn from his bosom.</p>
<p>The knife fell and rang upon the floor. Cold steel drawn in the rooms of the Give and Take Association! Such a thing had never happened before. Every one stood motionless for a minute. Andy Geoghan kicked the stiletto with the toe of his shoe curiously, like an antiquarian who has come upon some ancient weapon unknown to his learning.</p>

<p>And then OSullivan hissed something unintelligible between his teeth. Dempsey and the board exchanged looks. And then Dempsey looked at OSullivan without anger, as one looks at a stray dog, and nodded his head in the direction of the door.</p>
<p>“The back stairs, Giuseppi,” he said, briefly. “Somebodyll pitch your hat down after you.”</p>
<p>Maggie walked up to Dempsey Donovan. There was a brilliant spot of red in her cheeks, down which slow tears were running. But she looked him bravely in the eye.</p>
