Anyhow, there’s a flight of steps leading off the porch: As Harkness and I reach the bottom step, you”—she indicated the Ape “can come up from behind and kiss him very gently over the left eyebrow, And don’t miscue and Alligator Face.” “ tll I do den?” Coletti in- guired. “Then,” said Miss South disgust- edly, “you'l! take out your trusty piccolo and pies the ‘Harp Theat Once Through Tara’s Halls.’ Hon- est, Coletti, when they carve u) your head for billiard balls, I'll tale two sets.” ‘The Chiseler interposed. . “You seem, Dorothy,” he said approvingly, “to have thought this out very well. May I put a query or two? Pending your arrival at the foot of the steps, is there a-con- venient place where we can con- ceal this—this . . .” he broke off and pointed to the Ape. Miss South nodded vigorously. “There is. That can hide itself in the ivy. The whole side of the house is covered with it. I'll admit the spot is fairly close to the house, but it’s away from the main rooms and I don't just know where I could Jead Harkness to in the grounds. So it’s the ivy for yours, Coletti. And listen, Honeybunch. After we leave you languishing in the green- ery, dor’t go prowling all over the place like a coyote hunting for prairie dogs.” “Pay attention to what she says, Coletti,”...advised. the. .Chiseler. “You . will, .of course, Dorothy, make dead certain that you and Harkness come out alone.” * “Goodnight, Chiseler,” said Miss South aggrieved, “did you think I td going to make a picnic out of “The Chiscler bowed his head upon his breast. “Very good. Now, |T Dorothy, I have one or two slight additions to make to your plan.” “Oh, is that right?” said: Miss South, with asperity. “I thought it ‘was pretty foolproof myself.” “It is excellently thought out,” conceded the Chiseler. “But—er— forgive me for saying so, but it lacks what I mightterm the master touch. For example, I deen, it ad- visable for you to be found in a fainting condition some distance up the driveway.” “Oh, you do, eh? And what kind of zpples does that buy us?” “Li places you in a condition and position,” explained the Chiseler smoothly, “to give a rambling, in- coherent account of what hap- pened.
