Mr. Harper never knew why he did it..
He was reserved as man and, usually,
more than reserved as lawyer, but as
Hazen lifted his hands from the table and
turned to leave, he quietly remarked:
"The chief legatee-the one she chose to
leave the bulk of her very large fortune to
is man we none Of us know. His name
is Josiah Auchincloss."
The change which the utterance of this
name caused in Hazen's expression threw

Ransom expressed his satisfaction and
left the room with lighter heart than he
had felt since HaZen came upon the scene
He did not know that all he had been

1t was an hour before he returned When
he did it was to find HaZen and the lawyer
awaiting him in ill-concealed Impotence
These two were much too incongruous in
tastes and interests to be very happy in a
forced and prolonged tete-a-tete.

On the Cars.

This episode, which to Ransom's mind
would bear but one Interpretation, gave him
ample food for thought. He decided TO be
more circumspect in the future and Keep
an eye out for inquisitive strangers. NOT
