In effect, Uncle Hector must peruse John's answer to Alistair at the first prac- . | ticable moment. The oppertunity came sooner than Alistair himself expected. Lord Oban had not a hearty appetite that morn- ing. He ate but little, and that slowly. Rising before the others, he asked his nephew to come to “the den” when at liberty. Eileen lifted her head at that. “May I come, too, uncle? “she said. The request was a cartel, the verti- able challenge, it sent a mild shock through the room, because the Lans- ings felt electricity in the air. But “uncle” only smiled. He was - | master of his emotions that morning. " | “Later, if you w wiking throurh, { icers i old Carmy {riond, SIF that he has drugged by to lead his m John mparts th Mr 2 r v Jus, assistant, Furneaux: Mr. Mount- 1 e of the Probate Court. and Fren- come from John “No.” he said, kindlv enough. h, but I want a few words with Alist: rst.’” She left it at that, There was no sense in provoking a disagreeable scene, and she was convinced that for once in his life Alistair would not pre- vail against John. The episode was quitely dramatic in its own way, but its interest did not compare with the tense situation caused by Brown's perfectly natural o | curiosity as to the name which Mr. INSTALLMENT XXVIIL The Battle Begins.

Dropping the letters one by one into the box at Inverlochtle post office he came on that intended for a Mr, Darrington. Odd how Mr. Alistair had been mistaken.

Annyhow, in ye gae!” The singular fact about this quite simple incident was that Brown's not too greatly encumbered brain should be able to retain the complete super- scription on the envelope for just so long a time as was absolutely neces- sary to render the information of ut- most importance. If criminals made no mistakes they would seldom be caught. If wise persons like Alistair Panton did not occasionally under- estimate the wisdom of others they would be invulnerable, whether their actions boded good or evil to their fel- low men. Allstair did not hurry over his breakfast. His philosophy of life was that of the cureans—that whatever we believe to affect us does affect us, and Is therefore real, so error can only arise when mere supposition is con- fused with that which we actually feel. He felt quite unmistakably that some- thing had gone wrong, and traced the hostile influence to Eileen's champion- “EYERYONE HERE, NOT EXCEPTING MY WIFE, SEEMS TO FORGET THAT THIS SORT OF THING IS BEASTLY BAD FORM.” ship of that erratic letter writer, John Bridgnorth Panton. It was a puzzling situation. Where his family was concerned the heir to Inverlochtie had written only two let- ters In seven years. One was an alto- gether priceless production from All stair's point of view. What high ex- plosive could the other contain to dis- rupt the home circle so thoroughly? Well, Lord Oban would explain. Meanwhile, a little psycho-analysis might be useful. Disregarding the Lansings—in fact, treating them as foils—he selected Cousin Betty for the experiment.

Nothing youever ate before tasted exactly like it. You cannot quite describe it. It is a new good taste. Children love it. Grown-ups too.

MONDAY, far was a Panton who had never been charged with cowardice. “I hate to mention such a word as ‘court-martial,’ but I seem to be in for 8ne,” he sald, smiling as though he were taking a harmless joke about an utterly unimportant thing. “Have you been pitching some yarn to Uncle Hector about last night’s go(ngs on, Betty?” ““You mean nbout Eileen?" “‘About my mwife, yes.” “Betty sald 'Efloen'wplense be accu- rate.” Thus Efleen herself. Though she winced at the reference to a court- martial she did not hesitate to hit back. “If you people are going to hold a symposjum, Mary and I will take a turn on the loch,” put in Lansing good naturedly. “Nothing of “the sort, drawled Lady Lansing. “Why spoll a perfectly delightful opening?

At any rate I haven't tried it on Uncle Hector.

You, I understand, heard from him yesterday. Why shouldn't wrlte also to his father?” “He threatened to slay me at sight. You don't mean to tell me he offers to become a parricide as well?"” “No. Oh, no! I have not seen either letter, but it is quite possible that it he promises you a warm time when you meet he wants to make sure of his ground first.” “Dear, dear! T seem to have been tried and convicted for some crime the nature of which has not been even suggested so far. Are you mixed up in this, Eileen?” “Yes.” The hard, unflinching monosyllable flew across the table like a stone. It left Alistair unmoved, but before he could retort Sir Reginald’s clenciied fist, brought down heavily, rattled all the Lrenkfast crockery. very one here, not éxcepting my wife, seems to forget that this sort of thing is beastly bad form,” he cried angrily, thrusting back_ his chair and springing to his feet. “I'm off!
