"What'i the occasion?" Uncle
Rank demanded.
"Oh, J guess Larry's Just lonely.
That awful big place of his with
all those ground can be pretty

In a while."

aid, "but I guest he's too attached
to it You must admit, though,
It's a darned nice place in the
rummer, with the pool and the
horses."
Hank Chase popped an olive
into his mouth. "Well, maybe
can scare up a poker game while
the younger, to-called horsey set
go gallivanting."
"Maybe I'll Join you," Dugaa
aid. Tve never been to one of
these large-scale week-end parties
and I'm not sure how much fun

"If you dont have fun it'll be

draped over a glass of beer.
"Guess this is the only place in

down, Dugan."
Dugan cat down.

"Dugan, I'm going straight to the

garden.
Larry grabbed htm. "Just the

"Sorry, but . . ,"
"No 'but.' I want to talk to

Dugan started to protest,
nought differently and nodded
assent, "Talk to you about it
later," he called over his shoulder.
"He in an awful hurry," said
Barbara curiously.
J)UGAN didnt find Hank Chase
because Hank had gone to hi
room and stayed there. Barbara,
knocking on hi door before the
retired, found him ta chair,
ipufflng on his pipe.
' "Hey, where've you beent We

"Sit down, Barbs," he inter
rupted quietly, "I have something
to tell you. Something that has
been bothering me all night."
"What is it?" she asked quickly.
"Barbara, we've both been
fooled, but it'a hard to believe."
"Fooled?"
"Dugan's taking a Job with Mid
west Oil."
"Nol" she whispered. "So what
I innocently implied was true all
the time. He DID sell you out
on that tract of land."
She got up, her eye blazing.
"I'm not wasting any time telling
him what I think of him."
"No, dont . . ."
But she was gone,
Barbara knocked on Dugan'
door.
"Come in," he called.
She stepped inside and a look
of surprise crossed his face.
"To what do I owe this honor?"
he asked with a smile.
"To your dishonor," she replied
coldly.
He walked over to the window
and looked out grimly. "So,
you've been talking with your
uncle, I take it"
"Yes, youyou thief. You insuf
ferable, contemptible cad!! Need
less to say, we expect you to leave
our house when we return. There's
nothing I can do about ordering
you from Larry's place, but I wish
I could."
He walked up to her very de
liberately, his cheeks flushing.

ever called me a thief. The rest
of it wasn't so bad, but I refuse
to n Judged t thief without a
trial. Now, then, com with me."
He grabbed her by the wrist
and all but Jerked her into the
hallway. There wasn't chance
