i Sloan, behind the big desk and
with a telephone instrument at his
ear. said: t
"What, did I tell you. Monty?
The first bid Is two hundred thou
sand. 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.

She walked over to the fire and
extended her hands to it.
"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
