Excerpt from Life's Lure

Yet they expressed nothing clearly - no passion, no anxiety. They were set in a face of dazzling whiteness; not a careless face, but a face without a mark of care. The brow was broad and smooth, the forehead high and well-formed, the nose slightly aquiline, but the thin straight lips belied the delicate sensitiveness of the nostrils. About the high, well shaped crown of the head clustered a mass of curl ing hair - black as the eyes.

I believe it is your bid, sir, said the man with the black eyes. It has been opened at fifty.

Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from Life's Lure

Drake called for two cards, and with an abortive attempt at carelessness, signalled for a whiskey. When he had drained the glass at a gulp, the bar and the tables and the chairs and the men danced about less giddily - finally ceased altogether, and the babble of rough voices droned Into an unnatural silence. But now that the outer world was still, that of the Inner consciousness took up the dizzy whirl. Round and round and round spun the Inner world - the only moving, noisy thing In the hushed, fixed universe.

"I've got to stop myself," Drake thought dazedly. "How can I ever win the pot If I keep on 3 whirling - whirling - whirling?" The last word developed a life and a personality of Its own, joining forces with the devilish gyration. He tried to catch the word, kill It; but Its steadily Increasing speed eluded him.
