TENTH INSTALLMENT. R. LESTER CARMODY was having a fit of the grumps. Staring out of his study - win- dow, he gazed upon a world bathed in a golden glow, but his heart was hea He had just had a visit from Rev. Alistair Pond- Pond, and Rev. Alistair had touched him for 8 shillings Moy men in Mr. Carmody’s place would_have considered that they had got off lightly. The vicar had come seeking subscriptions to the church organ fund, the mothers’ pleasant Sun- day evenings, the Distressed Cottagers' | for something. For July had come in, on golden wings and the weather now | was the kind of weather to make a poet sing,. & lover love and a Seotéh | business man subscribe largely to com-; panies formed for the purpose of man- | ufacturing diamonds out of coal-tar.-On such a_morning. felt Mr. Carmody. an: | body ought to be willing to ‘put up any sum for anything. | | Nature continued to smile for about | another. three and a quarter minutes, and then, as far as Mr. Carmody was concerned, the sun went out. With a | genial heartiness that gashed him like | ! a knife, the plutocratic Mr. Molloy de- clined to invest even a portion of his | millions in a new golf course, a cinema | de luxe to be established in Rudge High | Street, or any of the four other schemes | his host presented to his notice. | “No, sir,’ said Mr. Molioy. “I'm mighty sorry I can't meet you in pny way, but the fact is I'm all fixed up in oil. Ofl's my dish. I began in oil and I'll end in oil. I wouldn't be happy out- side of oil.” “Oh?" sald Mr. Carmody, regarding | Ald Soclety, the stipend of the addi- |'this human sardine with as little open tional curate and the Rudge Lads’ an- nual Summer outing, and there had been moments of optimism when he had hoped for as much as a {10 note. The actual bag, as he totaled it up while riding pensively away on his motor bicycle, was the above-mentioned 5 shil- lings and a promise that the squire's nephew, Hugo, and his friend, Mr. Fish. should perform at the village concert | next, week. | And even so, Mr. Carmody was look- ing on him as a robber. Five shillings had gone—just. like that—and every moment now he was expecting his nephew, John, to walk in and increase his expenditure. For John had asked if he could have a word with him later | on in the morning, and Mr. Carmody knew what that meant. John ran the Hall's dairy farm. and he was always coming, to Mr. Carmady | for money to buy exotfc machinery. To Mr. Carmody a dajry farm was a straight issuel M? maw and - cow, You backed the cow up against a wall, secured its milk, and there you were.] John always seemed to want' to make the thing so complicated and difficult. and only the fact that he also made | it pay induced his uncle ever to accede to Bis monsirous demands. : Nor was this all-that was . poisoning perfect Summer day for Mr. Carmody. | ‘There was t?:‘e soul-searing behavior of Dr. Alexander Twist of Healthward Ho. | When Dr. Twist had undertaken the eontract of making a new Lester Car-| mody out ‘ofs the old Lester Carmody | he had cannily stipulated for cash down in lvance—this to cover a course of weeks. But, at the end of the second week Mr. rmody | learning from Hugq that an American | millionaire was arriving at the Hall, had naturally felt compelled to forego the final stages of the treatment and | return homie. Equally naturally, he had invited Dr.. Twist to Tefund one-third of the fee: “This the eminent physician i and physical culture expert had m\o-{ lutely declined ta do, and Mr. Carmody, | rereading the man’s letter, thought he | had never det éyes upon a baser docu- ment. = 2 He was shuddering at the depths of | depravity it revealed when the ‘door opened and John came in. Mr. Car- | domy heheld him and shuddered. John | —he could tell it by his eye—was plan- | ning another bad dent in the- budget. “Oh, Uncle "Lester.” said John. | “Well?” said Mr. Carmody hopelessly. “T think we ought to have some new 3ot | hostility and dislike as he could man-| age on the spur of the moment “Yes, sir,” proceeded Mr. Molloy, still | in lyrical vein, "I put my first thousand into oil and Il put my last thousand | into oil. Ofl's been a good friend to me. | There’s money in oil.” | “There is money.” urged Mr. Carmody, “in a cinema in Rudge High Street.” ““Not; the money there js in 0il." “Yoqu are a stranger here,” went on | Mr. Carmody patiently, “so you have, no doubt, got & mistaken idea of the po- tentialities of Rudge. Rudge. you must | remember, is a center. Smail though | it is, never forget that it les just off the main road in the heart of a pros- | perous county. Worcester is only 7 miles | away: Birmingham only 18. People would come in their motors . . -." “I'm not stopping them.” said Mr. Molloy generously. “All I'm saying is| that my money stays in little old ol “Or take golf.” said Mr. Carmod: side-stepping and attackjng from an- other angle. “The only good golf course in Worcestershire at present is at Stourbridge. Worcestershire needs more golf courses. You know how popular golf is nowadays.” “Not so popular as ofl. Oi},” said Mr. Molloy, with the air of one making an epigram, “is oil.” ! Mr. Carmody stopped himself just in time from saying what he thought of oil. To relieve his feeling he ground his heel into_the soft gravel of the path and had but one regret, that Mr. Mol- loy’s most sensitive toe was not under it. Half-turning in the process of mak- ing this bitter gesture, he perceived | that Providence, since the days of Job always curlous to know just how much a good man can bear, had sent Ronald Overbury Fish to add to his troubles. Young Mr. Fish was sauntering up be- hind his_customary 11 inches of cig- arette-holder. his pink face wearing that expression of good-natured superiority that ever since their first meeting had | afflicted Mr. Carmody sorely. From the list of Mr: Carmody’s trou- bles, recently tabulated, Ronnie Fish| was' inadvertently omitted. Although to | Lady Julla Fish, his mother, this young | gentleman, no doubt, was all the world, | Lester Carmody had found him nothing | but a pain in the neck, Apart from the | hideous expense of enfertaining a man | who took twice of nearly everything and | helped himself unblushingly to more | port, he chafed beneath his guest's| patronizing manner. He objected to be- ing_treated junior—and, what was as e e, “'mote, as 'a half-witted junior—by sol- | . “w\ut? i3 “Alpha j rators.” e v . “We neéd them.” an ha | Separator?” S e JeAh}: said it was an M!h- Separator. | There was a pause. John, who ap-| neared to have something on his mind | these days, stared gloomily at the car-| pet. Mr. Carmody shifted {n his chair. | “Very well,” he-said. . -. 1 . “And new tractors,” said John. *And ‘we could do with a few harrows. “Why do you want harrows?” “Por harrowing.” Even Mr. (%'l‘r‘;‘ody ;nxl(::s t.\wu:l:o 1':‘: | was to find flaws in the other’s reason- ing, could see that this.might well be so0. Try harrowing without harrows, and you ate handicapped from the start. But why harrows at all? Still, he supposed it was un- avoidable. After all, John had been carefully trained at an agricultural col- lege and prwugx bly . knew. “Very well,” he safd. ~“All right,” said John. He went out and Mr. Carmody ex-| perienced a little relief at the thought | that he had now heard all this .morn- | ing’s bad news. . But dairy - farmers l:dve n‘econd ‘thoughts. -The door opened again. “X"IF forgetting,” said Jokin, poking his head in. Mr. Carmody uttered a low moan. “We want some Thomas tap-cinders.” “Thomas what?” ““Tap-cinders.

Mr. Molloy smiled geni: “No argument, brother,” he replied, | with that bluff heartiness that Lester Carniody had come to dislike so much “I was merely telling our good friend | and host here that the best investment under the broad, blue canopy is ofl.” “Quite right,” said Ronnie Fish. “He's | perfectly correct, my dear Carmody.” | “Qur good host was trying to inter- est me.in golf courses.” “Don't touch 'em.” said Mr. Fish. | “T won't” said Mr. Molloy. “Give mé oil. Oil's oil.

You could see he despised the | stuff. “Don’t talk to me about coal.” This was another disappointment for | Mr. Carmody. Cinemas de luxe and | | golt courses having failed, coal was just what he had -been intending to| talk about, He suspected its presence | beneath the turf of the park, and would have been glad to verify his| | suspicions with the aid of someone | else’s capital. “You listen to this bird, Carmody.” | | said Mr_Fish, patting his host on the | back. “He's talking sense. OIl's the | “Thomas “Thomas tgp-cinders.” Mr. Carmody swallowed unhappily. He knew it was no use asking what these mysterious implements were, for his nephew would simply reply that they were Thomas tap-cinders or that they were something invented by a Mr. Thomas for the purpose of cinder-tap- ping, leaving his brain in the same addled condition in .which it ‘was® at resent. 1f£ John wished to tap-cinders, supposed he must humor him. “Very well,” he said dully. He held. his breath for a few mo- | ments after the door had closed once more, then, gathering that the assault on his purse was over, expelled it in a long sigh &nd gave himself up to bleak meditation. The lot of the English landed pro- prietor, felt Mr. Carmody, ls not what it used to be.. When the first Carmody settled in Rudge, he bad found little to view with alarm. He was sitting pretty, and he admitted it. Those were the days when churls were churls, and a scurvy knave was quite content to work 12 hours a day, Saturdays included, in return for a little black bread and an occasional_nod of approval from his overlord. But in this twentieth century England’s, peasantry -has degenerated. They expect coddling. Their roofs leak and you have to mend them; their walls fall down and you have to build them up: their lanes develop holes and you have to restore the surface, and all this | runs into ‘money. The way things were shaping, felt Mr. Carmody, in a few vears a landlord would be expected to pay for the repairs of his tenants’ wire- Jess sets. He wandered to the window and| looked out at the sunlit garden. And as he did;so there ¢ame into his range of vision the sturdy figure of his guest, Mr. Molloy. For the first time that ‘morning Lester Carmody seemed to hear. beating faintly in the distance, the wings of the bluebird. In a world con- taining anybody as rich-looking as, Thomas G. Molloy there was surely still | hope. lgl:nild Fish's prediction that Hugo's | uncle would appreciate a visit from so stuff. * Dig some of the savings out of the old sock, my dear .Carmody, and | | wade in. You'll never regret it.” | | ""And, having delivered himself of this | | advice’ with a. fatherly kindliness that | | sent his host’s temperature up several | degrees, Ronnie Pish: strolied on. | (To Be Continued.) | | ‘Headachy, bilious, constipat NR—NATURE'S REMEDY—tonight.
