In the library at FlinUtone, 31oan, behind the big desk and -7lth a telephone instrument at his ear, said: "What did I tell yon, Monty? The first bid is two hundred thousand. And that's Just a be ginning." "I know." retorted Monty, "but you an Nathalie ought to be over where. You'd not catch me sit-' ling guzzling liquor In here if a piece of my -property was being auctioned under the hammer. I got a headpiece. Jack." Keep quiet a minute,- re sponded Sloan. "Two fifty. That . will he Pound through a dummy." "Ton qught to be there," in sisted Monty. "Something may lip up." "That's Just what would scare them off," retorted Sloan. "They'd think the family was protecting it." "Three hundred." announced Sloan. "Ferris talking. Through an agent of course. Ferris does n't car for Long Island air Just now." "Where is the swine, anyway?" put in Stefano, smiling at Nathal ie, who was standing by the open fire with Sylvia. "Under cortr somewhere, Sloan answered him. "He has a police brain and thinks if he keeps out of sight until I bare aceepfed a price and called off the witnesses against him he may 'beat the case,' as he calls It." "He hasn't any brain of any kind," Stefano insisted. "What a swine. And an ass too." - "Oh, I don't know," declared' Monty Delaine. "Pound is an im portant ' "Witness. His memory will wobble for money." r "And fifty," Interrupted Sloan. "Pound isn't wobbling much right now. That's his bid." "Three Beventy-flve. Ferris again," supplanted Sloan. "Pound will corer that with four hund red and then they'll begin to fight. Tea, 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 erawl up now and when it hits the upset figure of one of them 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 Sylvia, "do remember that moth- - er is represented at the sale. You know, she is a wonderful business head. Hhe has explained over and over again to you and Nath alie, and John and all of us that she' would be silly to buy the place instead of letting it go to auction, because after the sale today Nathalie will get every thing it brings instead of having to wait years to sell until the road goes through." "Mother said Just that." she added turning to Stefano. "She would," said Monty, and they all laughed, even Sylvia. "Four hundrjed and ten," an nounced Sloan at the telephone. A servant entered the room a little hastily and put a fresh log on the fire. eMrs. 8wayne appear ed directly after him. "Hew Is the sale going?" she Inquired, addressing v Sloan but not heeding the answer he gave her.

"Sales are dreadfully excit ing, are they not?" she said to Stefano, and turned to face him. having discovered that he was in the room from the mirror over the fireplace. "You cannot think how I have worried over this one of Nathalie's.' Dear child, I have nrged her to take a long rest af ter her sale Is over and then go for a trip. Egypt, I think, would be wonderful forthe winter." "Five hundred and twenty," said Sloan at the telephone. "Not so bad," commented Mon ty. "But 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. .1 am represented or rather Nathalie is represented by a syndicate at the sale which in turn Is repre sented by a big New York real estate operator who is known to both Ferris's and Pound's man. Oar 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 backing them too." "Excuse me.

We drop out now for that's all It's worth. Pound won't last after he suspects it." Sloan beckoned to Nathalie who went over and took the chair at his elbow as Mrs. Swayne began speaking Again. She was wearing a sport cos tumeT russet, in color to match the mid-November afternoon, and as she talked she moved by skill ful stages to where the sun sent its light into the room through an amber colored window hanging. In the light, as it touched her and enhanced her attractiveness, she was singularly youthful and eye filling. "Do you know. Captain Stef ano," she announced, "that once I was untruthful with you " "Couldn't happen, I'm sure, Mrs. Swayne." "Ah, but it did occur. Do you remember, the night we were all 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 hous.e, but I was cer tain you did not know her and so spoke as I did to bewilder you. For though I did not know why she had not confided in me that she was going 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 Nath alie 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 hasten ed over. beside Sloan and Nath alie when Sloan said "Six hund red and eighty-five thousand."

According to reports emanating from the county court, road districts located at Pringle, Sidney and one near Turner are contemplating the abolishment of their patrol system. It is pointed out that a central ised supervision will be the direct result, should the several districts withdraw their patrolmen. Contin ual Improvement of county mar ket roads and the development of district roads has led to the evo lution of the central control plan. It is predicted that at least 10 road district may vote to abolish their . patrol system in January when the annual appointments of road patrolmen for the various districts are made. MONTGOMERY. Ala., Dec. 6 (AP) The state supreme court ruled today that sellers and buy ers of intoxicants are equally li able under the state's "bone dry" liquor law. In writing the opinion, Justice Virgil Bouldih reversed a deci sion of the court of appeals, which had upheld the contention of Jim Jlnright, that 'his convic tion in Pike county circuit court for "buying or selling" liquor was PlYCHEF?

And those with a russet er bronze color are sometimes even bet ter. They have a very thin skin, are richly Juicy, and have a faint, spicy fragrance that makf-them pre ferred of ah others by many who are specialty fond of the fruit. Grapefruit should be cut ia half with a share knife and a curved blade grapefruit knife nsed to sep arate the pulp from each section. Do not core. This makes the cut ting of the sections difficult and even messy. By leaving the core in there is Just enough resistance to the knife to make It easy to separate each section. Nor should sugar be redded. This detracts from the pleasant sharp tang of the fruit, and indeed is forbidden to those on a diet. It's the sugar added to grapefruit that makes it acid not the nature of the fruit itself. Marmalade is not difficult to pre pare, and la worth making if there' rpace for storing it properly.
