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

A servant entered the room a
little hastily and put a fresh log
on the fire. eMrs. 8wayne appear

"Not so bad," commented Mon

Jack. Don't tell me tomorrow I

The telephone had a set of ear

now put the arrangement on.

said, "I'm not so dumb. .1 am

"Excuse me. Jack," replied

Sloan wared a hand at him to
quiet him Six hundred thous

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

so spoke as I did to bewilder you.
For though I did not know why
she had not confided in me that

know who was helping you so
marvelously and I wished Nath
alie to have her secret inviolate.

zarre and I knew she would have

Monty and then Sylvia hasten

Three Districts in County to
Abolish System if Plan
Is Carried Out
The probable abolishment of
the district road patrol system Is
seen in the action of tax payers
ef three coanty road districts In
appearing before the county court
for advice in the matter of dis
continuance of road district pa
trolmen. 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.

Grapefruit should be cut ia half
with a share knife and a curved

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

This detracts from the pleasant
sharp tang of the fruit, and indeed
is forbidden to those on a diet. It's
