AS wo came Into the library,
Vrtn u.r.., otlfnHInU Ultll hltf
back to the flro, holding a glass of
I Phineas Hudson's best purl in one
hand and a very large and aro
matic cigar In the other.
"I had to shoot the creature,"
t lie wan savins.
'. "Naturally.", Bruce Temple
nodded In cold amrmation.
"But why shoot it?" asked Mr.
Hudson, spreading his hands in
innocent query; "Merely because
. you erred in Judging the animal a
good hunting dog"
- "I could not abide Its trembling
every time I pulled the trigger,"
answered Woolf complacently,
: Brenda Temple regarded him as
one might sight down the barrel
: of a gun.
j "You're spoofing, Mr. Woolf,"
lie said.
, i Eric's eyebrows lifted.
! "I beg your pardon?"
"You didn't actually shoot your
dog becuuso he was gunshy."
"Not he, my dear lady; It was a
she." Woolf emptied his gluss and
set it on the mantel. "That wus
tiie trouble, you sec. Females al
ways lack spirit."
"Oh."' Brenda Temple's lips
rounded Innocently over the word,
but there was a definite glitter in
her eyes. "Tell us more about
yourself, Mr. Woolf."
Eric removed the clgnr from his
mouth and blew a perfect smoke
ring. Then he fixed Brenda Tem
ple with eyes that showed no more
feeling than a shark's.
' "I hove been a '"-:n of this 1
country long enough, Miss Tern
pie, to know when I am being
ribbed," he said.
"But not quite long enough to
know that shooting female hunt
ing dogs because they are gun
shy is not considered u murk of
manhood," she replied.
Erie's face went slightly crim
son, then slowly the color drained
from his face. I had never seen
him so close to losing control.
'THE radiators started clanking
und the house wus filled with
a witches' symphony. Mr. Hudson
cleared his throut.
"Nicholas, my boy, how about
giving me a lift with thut Hra?
I'm no hund at a furnace, you
know."
Bruce Temple stood up.
"I'm afraid we'll huve to be
going, Phineas," he said.
"So soon?" Mr. Hudson usked.
"It's early."
"It's the sea air," Temple said.
"Makes me sleepy."
Mr. Hudson shrugged.
"As you wish. Perhaps you will
drop over, tomorrow.".
Everybody edged out Into the
hull to bid the Temples furewoll.
Mr. Hudson looked at me oddly
when we were left alanc.
"Nlcholus, I believe you know
me well enough to believe that I
huven't an ounce of raw curiosity
In my bones. Now, I don't wish to
pry into your u Hairs, but where
I find something approaching In
volvement of my daughter, I feel
that I'm entitled to some explana
llon." "Believe me, Mr, Hudson," I
said, "I'm us much In the dark as
you me. I haven't the remotest
idea of what's going on."
'You wouldn't lie lo un old mun,
Nick?"
'You know how I feel ubout
Pat."
'I do." He nodded, "and I be
lieve you."
'Mr. Hudson," I said, "wliilo
we're exchanging confidences, I've
something I'd like to ask you. It'i
about Eric Woolf." n O
"Erie." Mr. Hudson lifted his
head. "What's the matter with
Eric?"
"I'll pass that question If you
don't mind. I'm bothered by his
omnipresence, I don't quite see
how he comes into this picture."
"Eric is at The Ledges because
I asked him," he announced stiffly.
"Suppose we Ax the fire," I said,
W'HEN we got upstairs Brenda
Temple and her father were
back In the library.
"Whut's wrong?" I asked.
Brendu sunk into a chair and
looked quietly amused.
"It seems that' there are. In the
hood of our car, some shutters "
"Vents, my dear," Bruce Tem
ple corrected her.
"Yes, father." She smiled de
murely. "Vents. It appears that It
Is my Job lo open and close these
vents at the proper time, Mama
forgot to close; thp naughty rain
slunk Into the spark plugs or
something and Daddy's car posi
tively will not run tonight."
"Arc you sure?" asked Erie.
"There's no reason In the world
why you shouldn't stay here with
us." Phineas Hudson's voice
sounded unnaturally loud. "There
are seventeen bedrooms in the
house."
'But how Jolly," said Brenda
Temple, And her father said:
"Good of you, Phineas, But It
seems an Imposition."
"Not at all," replied Mr. Hud
son. "Matter of fact, I was on the
point of asking you to stay, but
you seemed eager to be off."
Brenda Temple sat back, per
fectly at ease, and drew out a
clgaret.
'For hours I've wanted an ex
cuse to horn in on this Jamboree."
She looked maliciously at Eric.
"Perhaps we' shull hour more of
Mr. Woolf's adventures."
Charley removed a shred of to
bacco from his Up and snapped it
with his linger Into the fire.
'Let's have some coffee," he
said. "I'll make it."
He had Just got to his feet when
the knock came.

to China, the state- department
made him discard the uniform
and two silver stars of a major
general und dress as ull other
American ambassadors in plain
civilion clothes.
This didn't please Hurley at
all. But he conformed. How
ever, when he got back In Wtish
ington und went in to see the
president the other day, friends
say that Put hud in mind getting
special permission from the
president lo wcur his army uni
form while ambassador in China.
Perhaps Ihe stule department
tipped off the While House ubout
Hurley's sartoriul ambition, or
perhaps it was just accident.
Anywuy, the president bent him
to tiie gun.
"Well, Put," FDR said to Hur
ley who was weuring a blue
sergj suit, "you certainly look
fine in blues."
Hurley murmured something
about that the fact lie thought his
urmy uniform wus more appro
priate. But the president iie
plied: "Oh no, Pat, you look fine In
blues."
That ended thut. Hurley is
going back to China wearing
civilian clothes.
