CHAPTER ".
BIMETALLISM-

1t was late in the evening when Pat
rick Cambel again found himself en-
tete-a-tete with his host. There had
been people in to dinner at the house in
Park lane, but these had gone, and Mrs.
Shelf and Amy Rivers followed them
to parties elsewhere. Mrs. Shelf had
wished to carry Cambel also in her
train, but that person stayed behind
by q request which he could not very
we'll refuse. You viii favor me very
much by remaining here for the rest
of the evening, Mr.. Cambel." Shelf had
said in his pompous way. Il nave mat
tiers OF the greatest moment / wish 10

II hardly know how 10 begin" Shelf
confessed uneasily when they were
alone.
Then let me make a suggestion"
said Cambel, with a laugh. Come to
the point at once. Let's have the plot
without any introductory chapters.
You've told me you've got a scheme on
hand for turning my discovery into
currency, and you've rather inted it's
a dirty scheme. The only question is
how dirty. Thanks to pressure OF cir
cumstances, I'm not an oyerparticular
person. But on points I'm very
squeamish, or, in other words, / draw
the line somewhere. Unless I'm very
vastly mistaken, your plan will involve
one in downright knavery, which is q
thing all sensible men avoid If possl-
BILE. Now. in my ignorance | fancied
the find might be turned to account
without climbing down TO that"
oh" said Shelf eagerly, then you
had a scheme In your head before you
came to me?"
The other shrugged his shoulders and
lit a cigar.
Just a dim outline-nothing more.
You see the interior of the Everglades

Y written. In the printed portion was
he Introductory word Herr (Mr) used in
The address. The town council thought
he forester no. entitled to Herr, and

the themes for discussion. The piece
