' ' r CHAPTER V '
'TlfV uncle. Calvin Meggs."
"Ohl I thought it was Al
Capone, shrunk in the wash."
"Uncle Cal," explained Hildy,
"Is an amiable reprobate. Father
says he's a worthless character
because he's such a poor business
man." '
"Well, I didn't notice that I
thought he made J. P. Morgam
look like a panhandler."
"Father refers to his past It
seems Uncle Cal went through his
own money and a lot of Aunt
Msg's. Aunt Mag was father's
sister."
"I see. This poor business man
who makes $10 a minute lives
here?"
"Oh, yes. He's one ot the fam
ily." ' "Forgive me if I seem Inquisi
tive," Jonah said, "but just why
did we give him $10?"
"Hush money," said Hildy.
Jonah shook his head. "I'm
thick, I guess."
'. "Well." said Hildy, "I told you
that father and I are on the outs.
And father's been threatening me
with dire things if I don't . . .
well, behave myself. And if he
heard what I've just said to you,
he'd hit the roof. Well, Uncle
Cal knows all about our fight. If
you hadn't given him that $10
he'd have gone straight to father."
1 "But, gosh, that's blackmail.
The guy's a menace."
"I know. But he had me that
time."
"What's the horse for?" asked
Jonah. "Just a playmate of his?"
"That horse," Hildy said spite
fully, "has changed Uncle Cal
from a delightful elderly gentle
man into a conniving little money
cadger." "You mean the horse has a bad
Influence on him?"
She nodded. "The worst There's
a bit of history to this, Jonah. It
seems that years ago, before Uncle
Cal frittered away his money, he
owned a racehorse. Well, father
has always had racehorses, too,
and the story goes that he and
Uncle Cal got into an argument.
About whether one of father's
horses could beat Uncle Cal's.
See?"
. "Sure. And did It?"
"Yes," said Hildy. "They had
a private race and father's horse
won in a walk. At least father
says so. 'But Uncle Cal has a
different version. He's hinted that
father bribed his jockey to pull'
his horse."
' Jonah--whistled. "That's a
grave; charge."
-. "Isn!t it? : Particularly against
father. -Father is president of the
State Turf Association."
. "Of course, you say your uncle
doesn't actually charge it Just
makes hints." '
"That's if Dark hints. He's
been doing it for years. Well, re
cently he bought this horse, Bu
cephalus. Where he got the money
we don't know. But Uncle Cal
appeared with him one day and
challenged father to another race.
His horse against Black Moonlight,
father's very best."
"H'm," said Jonah. "Your tra
de must repose a lot of confi
dence in that fugitive from a glue
factory."
"He's perfectly dotty about him.
He even says that Bucephalus can
run as fast as Bonaparte Brandy."
"Then he is dotty," Jonah ex-:
plained. "Bonaparte Brandy won
the Kentucky Derby two years
ago."
"That's what I tell Uncle Cal
But he won't listen."
'TiUT where does the money
angle come in? The kind of
drifty and dreamy blackmail he
goes in for?"
"Well, you see," explained Hil
dy patiently, "Uncle Cal is hop
ing to make a killing. I happen
to know that when father accept
ed his challenge, Uncle Cal put
his shirt on Bucephalus and got
very good odds. And father said
he'd cover anything else that Un
cle Cal cared to bet So Uncle
Cal has been trying to scrape up
more money. And he's resorted
to the lowest possible schemes.
He even borrowed a dollar from
the butler the other day."
"By gosh," said Jonah, Im
pressed, "your uncle isn't fooling."
"It seems not I'm afraid Uncle
. Cal bears a grudge over that other
race. Of course, I don't think
that father put the jockey up to
any monkey business. But father
likes to win things. And when he
does, he gloats."
"The gloating type, eh?"
"But, definitely. Father has
been gloating over Uncle Cal for
years. He's been . . . well, Uncle
Cal calls it 'impugning my judg
ment of horseflesh'."
"Gee, that would cut a man to
the quick, wouldn't it?"
"It's cut Uncle Cal. And he
plans to get even this Saturday.
They're having the race then."
Jonah shook his head. "Well,
I'm no judgo ot horseflesh either.
But I've got another $10 that says
your uncles nag Belongs Dcnuia
a plow. What's your father think
about all this?"
"Oh, father Is superbly confi
dent. He's even planned to give a
ball Saturday night to celebrate
his victory." ;
"Well," Jonah said, "this is very
interesting. But it isn't helping
us break the Channing Camera
Empire."
They collected Mahoney, which
took ingenuity. Nature had not
constructed Mahoney to shino at
descending 10-foot walls. Final
ly, however, he arrived on terra
flrma, clutching his black cases
and breathing heavily.
"All present and accounted for,"

walk that ran through the formal
garden. At the end of this there
was a shrub-dotted lawn that led
ap a gentle slopo to the house. Jo
nah slopped suddenly, gasping.
The full magnificence of the
Channing mansion had burst upon
him.
"Jeepers," ho exclaimed. "Whr
ran up that little number? Kubla
Khan?"
- "Isn't it hideous?" Hildy said.
"Mother went continental on us
about 26 years ago."
"Don't apologize," said Jonah.
"I'm impressed no end."
"Me, too," chimed in Mahoney,
who thought he ought to say
something suitable.
"Well, glad you like it, boys.
We . . . Gee, here's luck. Father's
chased himself out into the open."
e
JONAH looked toward the house.
Some distance away a heavily
built gentleman was pacing a ter
race. His head was sunk upon
his chest He looked like Rodin's
Thinker in search of a stone.
The cavalcade approached to
within 20 yards without attracting
the attention of the Thinker. Then,
apparently scenting danger, he
glanced up. His eye fell on Jonah
and the camera-like arrangement,
took in Mahoney's black cases.
And a whooshing sound, as of a
water buffalo emerging from an
African river, escaped him.
"Hey," said Jonah to Hildy. "he
seems upset He ..."
"Photographers," bellowed Mr.
Channing. "I'll not have photog
raphers on the place. Get out of
here."
Even as he roared, ho pawed
the earth. Then, emitting a snort
ing noise, he charged. He was no
longer a water buffalo. He was
an irritated rhinoceros, rampant
Mahoney turned on the publi
cized dime. Jonah was right with
him. Hildy turned in sympathy.
They were off like a covey of quail.
