he acted rather mysterious about

"So far as I can tell, they're

h.nH ti-n ho to me. And
Incidentally, Mia Piper, If you won t
think I'm being impertinent, I d
suggest that you dldnt mention this
Incident to Dede. I Imagine you
can understand why.
I did understand perfectly. If
Amedee ever found out about the
wrist-twisting episode, he'd sepa
rate Claude from some of his arms
and legs.
Colonel Duroonts final dinner
party, at which his will was to be
read, was held at eight o'clock that
evening in tne Dig, canaw-imnv
dining room. Bobby and Pick and I
end even Aunt Delphlne all wore
white, and dutifully fastened to our
ahoulders the somewhat stiff cor
sage of oleanders in accordance
with the old gentleman wishes.
This time, Claude did not pre
side at the head of the table. In
stead, the master's chair was left
vacant a stipulation, I learned
later, which had been made by the
old man who had occupied it for so
many years.
In spite of the Colonel's request.
the dinner party waa hardly what
could be called a gay affair.
At the close of the dinner, the
twenty-year-old champagne waa
opened and we all solemnly drank a
toast to Colonel Dumont's memory.
Then Mr. Simeon Duval rose to read
the will.
First, there were bequest of per
sonal possessions to Pick. Aunt Del
phlne, Cousin Jeff, and Lewis Haye.
after which followed a lone list of
minor rememberancea for the color
ed servants. Then came the disposal
" of the bulk of the estate.
I The land had been divided Into
, three equal parts. The first of these,
i which included Oleander Plantation,
I went to Claude as eldest In direct
i line of descent. The second went to
i TJncle Raoul. and the third was dl
' Tided between Amedee and Henri.
. That part sounds simple enough,
, I know. But now comes the eom
. plication. Although the land had
i been left outright to his sons and
i grandsons. Colonel Dumont had
added the stipulation that they
might not disposes of any or an of
It extent to one another: while upon
i their deaths, it was to pass to their
I mala descendants or nearest male
relative bearing the name of Dum

but not to an outsider; while should
he retain possession of u, u wiu
peas on his death to bis eons. Do I
make mvself clear?"
Perfectly." Uncle Raoul said sue
cintly. He spoke without raising his
eves from the table In front of him.
It was evioeni vnat up unui uie very
lsst minute, he had been clinging
to the forlorn hope that Oleander

Claude sensed this, and grinned
complacently at the rest of us.
men Mr. iuvai went on 10 ex
plain that Colonel Dumont had been
what Is known as "land poor." That
Is, while hs had managed to hold
onto his land, he had done It at the
sacrifice of practically everything
else be had possessed. The result
was. the lawyer asserted almost
apologetically, that while the heirs
would receive the property title
clear, they would be obliged to pay
uie inheritance taxes ana oiner
matters concerned with the settling
of the estate out of their own pock
ets, or else mortgage the land Itself
for the purpose. Finally with a dry,
"I think that is all," he folded the
will, and returned It to the enve
lope from which he had taken It.
For a minute were was an
awkward pause, such as I Imagine
must follow the reading of every
will. Only Claude was smiling. Most
of the others looked aa though their
newly acquired mnentaneea naa
come as less of an asset than a
liability.
Then suddenly Beau waa upon

waa what I believe the Victorian
novelists would have described
a painted grin.
