REAL ESTATE. ILLUSTRATED BY R.F. SCHABELITZ THE STORY THUS FAR. Beautiful Margit Agnew has had her life and emotions under perfect control. Then her im- pulsive sister, Irene, engaged to Waldo, falls in love with Charlie Jomes, grtist, trailer pagabond and @ married man. That she is at- tracted to him herself Margit re- fuses to admit.

She flies to Lake George and is relieved to find that Charlie and Irene keep their communicating door locked. CHAPTER XVIIL Adaptation and arrangemen!-— copyright by Metro-Goldwyn-Maver Corp.. 1837. Margit teed up and drove. She was an excellent golfer. If her score was more than 85 she usually changed her diet a little or plaved around a few times with a professional. It gave her eonsiderable satisfaction to see her ball eoar straight down the fairway for 225 yards. Charlie teed up. “A very nice shot, Miss Agnew.” he said. Margit looked anxiously at the cad- dies, but they had not overheard. She spoke in a low tone. “T didn't register s Margit Agnew last night.” she said quickly. “I don't want all this un- Rleasantness to get to the newspapers. Irene strolled unhappily to of her life. 1 realized that you and Irene—" she bit her lip, “would undoubtedly have given false names.” Charlies prepared to drive. “You mean, vour agent Keough informed you by phone last night that we were registered as Mr. and Mrs. Banks?" “So you found out about Ke- eugh—-1" Charlie gazed down the fairway and swung. His drive was just as straight #5 Margit's and 50 yards Jonger. They started over the Spring-humid land- ecape side by side. He saw that Margit was annoyed by his drive, but he ignored that. “I'm glad we ran into each other at breakfast this morn- ing,” he continued amiably. “I like to rise early, too. I don't suppose Mrs. Bly or Irene or the redoubtable Keough will be up for another thype hours.” He awished his driver through the air. “Why, yes, I did manage to pierce Keough's disguise. You know, Margit, when you have been tracked for three montha by the Russian Ogpu and fol- Jowed for 2,000 miles by the Japanese secret police, you get kind of a sixth sense about false whiskers.” *1 don’t belleve it." “Why. I can tell you about a man tn Rangoan—" “I megn I don't believe you've ever been followed by the Ogpu or the Jap- anese police.” Charlie chuckled. *Playing around on this golf course—it hardly seems true even to me. Do you want to see the scar where a bushman's boom- erang clipped me on the shoulder?” He began pulling up his swedr. “No. Thank you very much. If you do have a scar it was probably made falling down a stairway when you were | drunk. I asked you to come out and play golf this moming because would give us an opportunity to be alone.” | Charlie grinned at her, “Don't tell | me that you as well as Irene have found yourself the victim of a hope- less paasion for a poor sidewalk artist!” She ignored that. “We have a good deal of serious talking to do.” He shook his head. ‘T never talk seriously. Neither should you. That's the trouble with you. Too serious. Didn't it ever occur to you that life was fun? Aren't you amused by things like cocker spaniels and kids and peo- ple &lipping on banana peels? When th2 night-blooming cereus is out and somebody is strumming on a guitar, don’t you ever feel like sneaking into the arbor and being thoroughly kissed? When you're working in your office, don't you ever get an impulse to file ® letter from a client named Zerbaugh | under Q or maybe L? That was your ball we just walked past, by the way.” Margit didn't answer. She turned around haughtily, moved the ball to ® better lle—which was permissible under the prevailing Winter rules— traded her driver for a spoon, flubbed ber first effort miserably, and sliced her second into the rough. “To0 tense,” saild Charlie amiably. Margit blazed with sudden anger. No doubt she had been too tense. It was impossible to talk to this man. Everything he did and sald was in- A *| difficuity.” it | furiating. What right did a poor artist have to play any kind of golf at all, anyway? She spoke coldly. “I wasn't | the least bit tense! My foot slipped— | that's all! The course is muddy. In | any case, T bet I can trim you without | “What do you bet?” he asked pleas- | antly. “A hundred dollars.” “Match or medal?” “A hundred on each* Charlie was grinning with delight. | “I'N take it. Tell me something. Dld‘ | you ever make a bet before in your | life2” She was about to answer, “Certainly not. " but she caught herself. “If I choose to gamble, that's my affair, isn't 12" Charlie walked up to his own ball | and took a No. 4 iron. He glanced at | the green and pursed his lips. He | whistled a few bars from “The World Owes Me a Living.” His shot stopped rolling in the middle of the green | about 8 feet from the pin. He sang the next phrase of the song: “Teedle- | eedle-idle-odle-um.” He looked at her. The coolness of early morning had made her cheeks red and probably anger had contrib- |uted to their color. Her blue-green | eves were flashing. A light breeze blow- ing across the blue lake stirred the | dark sheaf of her hair.

Margit was one up. Her score was 42, Charlie's was 41. It looked as if the two wagers might cancel each other out. The sun had begun to warm them.

Good health and a good game were | tonic to both of them, and Margit— | who had intended to use the hours on the links for the castigation and disso- [lution of Mr. Jones—found herself | thinking that perhaps a more friendly Aapproach to the problem would be bet- ter diplomacy. Talking in a friendly way about any- thing in the world which outraged her was against Margit’s nature and her principles—but, somehow, in the redo- lence of a warm Spring morning, her nature and principles were difficult to maintain “You play a dickens of a gond game of golf.” she said as she sat down. “I play a hell of a good game,” Charlie admitted. “You're even kind of likeable." “I'm the most charming fellow you'll meet this side of paradise.” It's hard to believe—Ilooking at you right now—that you'd do anything as hateful as what vou did to Irene.” He gazed at her with elaborate in- fured innocence. “Hateful? To Irene? 1 gave her the thrill of a lifetime. I supplied her with all the excitement of an elopement and none of the haz- ards—as you yourself rushed up here to witness.” Margit pondered. “That was just an accident.” . Charlie shrugged. “Your sister is a fine girl. She knows more about live ing than you do. ‘You don't love her,” said Margit You were just adventuring with her.” “You're abusing & good word. What- ever I do is an adventure.” A familiar grin came into his eyes. “How do you know I don't love her?” i sure of it. I do! I'm crazy about her!” He glanced out of the corner of his eyes And saw that ahe was getting mad again. “I'm going to get a divorce and marry her.” Margit looked away so that he could not observe her expression. She felt heipless and foolish. She also felt like crying. Finally she said, “Let's | play. It's your honor.” He stood up gracefully and drove. At that precise instant Irene awak- ened. She wondered for & little while where she was. Then she remembered. Bhe shuddered—in spite of the fact that sunlight was painting the whole room.

Naturflci’i Children Solenodon (Solenodon paradoxus). BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. N the Island of Haiti this little solenodon, an animal about the size of a small rabbit, but with a tail 8 inches long, is one of the two species known and the first one to be dis- covered. It resembles the opossum slightly, but its habits are in now way similar. The head and upper parts are a pretty shade of brown, becoming black toward the lower back and thighs. The other colors on the sides of the head and the under parts are much lighter in shade. It is the strange-looking snout that attracts your attention when you first see the little beast going about on its hunting trips. The snout is well decorated with strong, stiff hairs. The cylindrical and trunklike form of it and its length indicate the owner can nose about into small spaces for the food it desires. The eyes are round in shape and have an expression of resignation to- its calling in life, not at all sparkling or alert when they gaze at you, but as if asking, “What is it all about, anyway?" What the long, naked tail has not as yet it does not enable its owner to hold fast to an object. The body is covered with a coarse hair which extends down to the thighs, leaving the knees and legs bare. However, the solenndon Georgetown New, Small Williamsburg Houses 1615-21 34th Street N.W. 3 for rent—1 for sale Exhibited by Owner Today and Tomorrow is for | been decided since lives in & warm climate and does not suffer for the lack of leggings, The toes, you will notite, are espe- clally strong on the front feet and are armed with powerful, curved claws, capable of giving a most pain- ful wound or uncovering the insects it 8o ardently desires. For reasons bes; kngwn to the solenodon, most of the hunting s done at night. You may come across one of the fellows fast asleep in the afternoon, the spot being well p el concealed by low growth of shrubs and coarse grass. This animal has 40 teeth. The com- bination of teeth and sharp claws is capable of tearing pieces if need be, In captivity, solendons accept readily ]H\fl meat given to them. Their table | manners are far from refined.

This must be the way they do in their home range, where they hunt and dine under cover of darkness. The Cuban solenodon is a more tawny shade on the head, neck and chest, while the upper part and sides of the body are dark brown or black. It may be more poesible to see this little fellow than the one in Haiti and some of the zoological parks have ome or two of them. Not very much is known of their habits and family life, a fine opportunity for some one to clear up the mystery (Copyright, 1037.) 16 LOAN ASSOCIATIONS INSURED DURING MONTH Beptember Brings Federal Cor- poration’s Total to 1,819, Man- ager Fallon Reports.
