On falling asleep, he dreams that he is knocking at the door of the Death Club. A servant with a skull-like face admits him, and Polidor finds himself in the midst of a sinister company, who initiate him into their rules, the chief of which is that cards are drawn, and self member obtaining the Queen of Spades must kill himself within half an hour. Polidor is the luckless man, and finds himself confined in a room with pistols, poison and a rope, to choose his own method of making the "happy dispatch." He discovers that life is very precious, and attempts to force an exit by two doors in the apartment-only to find a long leg shoot out from one, kicking back, and an equally long arm thrusting him back the other. At the end of half an hour the members club, clad in black cloaks, appear through trapdoors, and demand his instant demise, but Polidor, tearing a leg off the table, begins to lay about desperately. At this stage he is awakened by his servants, who have found him whirling about the bedroom, fighting imaginary enemies. Written by The Bioscope - January 2, 1913 See less
