"Desperate characters have ob tained control of the welfare leu pue and have held responsible po sitions in the league," said Chandler. "This has given ihem freedom and they - have gone about the yard, throughout the cor ridors and have used their lea gue room at any and all times, even well Into the night.

And that's just a beginning." "I know," retorted Monty, "but you an' Nathalie ought to be over there. .You'd not catch me sitting guzzling liquor in here If a piece of my property was bein auc tioned under the hammer. I got a headpiece, Jack." "Keep quiet a minute." respond ed Sloan. "Two fifty. That will be Pound through a dummy." "You ought to he there," insist ed Monty. "Something may slip up." "That's just what would Bcare them off," retorted Sloan. "They'd think the family was protecting it." "Three hundred." Announced Sloan. "Kerris talking. Through an agent of course. Ferris doesn't care for Long Island air just now." "Where is the swine, anyway?" put in Stefano, smilin? at Natha lie, who was standing by the open fire with Sylvia. , "I'nder cover somewhere," Sloan answered him. "He has . a police brain and thinks if he kneps out of sight until I have accepted a price f and called off the witnesses against him he may 'heat the case,' as he calls it." "lie hasm't any brain of any kind." Stefano insisted. "What a swine. And an ass too.' "Oh, I don't know." declared Mont y Delaine. "Pound Is an Im portant witness. His memory will wobble for money." "And fifty," interrupted Sloan. "Pound isn't wobbling much rigiit now. That's his bid."' "Three seventy-five. Flprris again," supplanted Sloan. "Pound will cover that with four hundred and then they'll begin to fight. Yes. there he goes. Four hundred." Monty groaned. "They'll begin to fight Is right. Why ain't you, over there? The bidding will be gin to crawl up now and when It hits the upset figure of one of Ihem the other will cop. Do you think a couple -of second-raters like Pound and Ferris have all the money In the world?" "Now, Monty." interrupted Syl via, "do remember that mother is represented at t.ho sale. You know i she has a wonderful business V head. She has eplained over and over again to you and Nathalie and John and all of us that she would be silly to buy the place In stead of letting It go to auction, because after the sale today Nat ha-, lie will get everything it brings in-1 stead of having to wait years to sell until the road goes through." 'Mother said just that," she add'-d, turning to Stefano. . "She would." said Monty, and they all laughed, even Sylvia. "Four hundred and ten." an nounced Sloan at the telephone. A servant entered the room a little hastily and put a fresh log on the fire. Mrs. Swayne appeared directly after him. "How is the saie going?" she in quired, addressing Sloan hut not heeding the answer he gave her.

"Sales are dreadfully exciting are they not?" she said to Stefano and turned to face him. having dis covered that he was in the room from the mirror over t tie fire place. "You cannot think how I have worried over tills one of Nathalie's. Dear child, I hav urged her to take a long rest af ter, her sale Is over and then go for a trip. Egypt, 1 think, would be wonderful for the winter." "Five hundred and twenty," said Sloan at the telephone. "Not so had," commented" Mon ty. "Put you ought to be there. Jack. Don't tell me tomorrow I didn't say so." The telephone had a set of ear cups and a head harness. Sloan now put the arrangement on. "For your benefit, Monty." he said, "I'm not so dumb. I am rep resented or rather Nathalie is represented by a syndicate at the sale which in turn Is represented by a big New York real estate op erator who is known to both Pound's man and Ferrls's man. Our man is pushing the other two up. Every time he bids one or the other of the others caps it. They have money enough. Lots of it. Syndicates are hacking them too." "Excuse me, Jack, replied Mon ty humbly. "I'm on my eleventh cocktail. Can t keep a clear head after ten." Sloan waved a hand at him to quiet him. "Six hundred thousand We drop out now for that's all it's worth. Pound won't last nfter he suspects it." Sloan beckoned to Nathalie who went over and took the chair at his elbow an Mis. Swayne began speaking again. She was wearing a sport cos tume, russet In color to match the mid-November afternoon, and as she talked she moved by skillful stages to where the sun sent its lieht Into the room through an amber colored window hanging. In the light, as it touched her and enhanced her attractiveness, Bhe was singularly youthful and eye filling. "Do you know. Captain Stefano' she announced, "that once I was untruthful with you " "Couldn't happen I'm sure, Mrs. Swayne." "Ah, hut It did occur. Do you remember, the night we all were in masks and I said to you that your little hostess spoke dreadful French and , had of course been sent by an Agency? I .was being untruthful then. I knew dear Nathalie Instantly, the moment I was In the houso, but I was cer tain you did not know her and so spoke as I lld to bewilder you. For. though 1 did not know why she had not confided in me that she was goins to cooperate with you in your wonderful hospitality at The Firs, I knew you did not know who was helping you so marvelously and I wished Natha lie to have her secret Inviolate. She has always been a little bi zarre and I knew she would have wished to." Monty and then Sylvia hastened over beside Sloan and Nathalie when Sloan said, "Six hundred and dance Wed. night, Dec. 25.

Twenty minutes had elapsed when she reappeared.
