Then how was 5000 of it going into Manoel's pouch as soon as he got wise to the game? ‘All going into the pool!’ Like hell it was.” “Ho! Ho! So you've been talking to Mancel, and you've been think- ing again. But thinking isn't your strong point, Jimmy."” “Can the funny stuff and answer a plain question,” growled Mr. James. “Where did I come in, if Manoel was to go fifty-fifty, be- cause he caught you out?” “Do you want to sit there and tell me you think I'd reward him with 5000 pounds? Like hell I would.” “You stopped his mouth, eh?” inquired Mr. James. “Put him off] with a promise that you'd shut his mouth with a wad of $25,000, eh?” ‘Bz/ Percival C/mbiop/wr Wren_ MYSTERIOUS WAY] ng f the man ‘ ~|lives to be 21.

Not much to him ex- cept that he's going to be Sir Scmething Lauderdell when the old guy dies. Maud's sick of the racket and wants to retire in the odor of sanctity among the Lon- den Four Hundred. i “But there’s not more money than will keep up the old Tudor place. Then what does Maudg | find? “Lauderdell's brather has died and left Lauderdell this girl Mar- jorie for keeps, and a 190,000 pounds. Marjorie can't touch this until she comes of age. If she dies before she's 21, Brother Lauder- dell scoops it.” “And if she marries?” { “Nix till she’s of age,” replied the Doctor. “What a wicked will,” observed Mr. James indignantly. “Didn't the guy want the poor girl to live to be 217" Dr. Charters smiled. “Well, you see, he trusted Broth-{ er Lauderdell . . . and rightly. There isn't enough money in the ‘wcrld to make him hurt a hair of the girl's head. | “So Maud comes to see me. |She’s worried about her husband’s [niece, who lives with them. Such a lovely girl . . .
