out silently.
That night Selwyn stopped at his
sisters house before going to his own
rooms and, finding Austin alone in the
library, laid the matter before him
exactly as Neergard had put 1t.
"You see," he added, that I'm q
sort Of ass about business methods.
This furtive pouncing on a thing and
clubbing other peoples money out Of
them with it-this slyly acquiring land

neighbor and then holding him up-I

Of this sort that prevents my cordial
cooperation with Neergard-always
something in the schemes which hints
of-of squeezing-of something under

"Like the water which he's going to
squeeze out of the wells?"
Selwyn laughed.
"Phil," said his brother-in-law, '.f

business except at other peoples ex-
pense you are an ass"
"Am II" asked Selwyn, still laughing
frankly.
Certainly. The land is there plain
enough for anybody to see. It's al
ways been there. It's likely to remain
for few cons, l fancy.
Now, along comes Meynheer Julius
Neergard. the only man who seems to
have brains enough to see the present
value of that parcel to the Siowitha
people. Everybody else had the same
chance. Nobody except Neergard knew
enough to take it. Why shouldn't ne
profit by it?"
"Yes, but If he'd be satisfied to cut
1t up into lots and do what Is fair''-
"Cut 1t up into nothing! Man alive
do you suppose that Siowitha people
would let him? They've only few

that land. What good is their club
without it? Do you imagine they'd let

Gerald nodded. He had immediate

a little later the boy started for
home at Selwyn's advice. But the
memory of his card losses frightened
him, and he stopped on the way to see
what money Austin would advance
him.

Austin. Is that the evening paper?
Where is ST. Paul?'
Selwyn unfolded the paper. So his
brother-in-law moved ponderously
away, yawning frightfully at every
heavy stride, and the younger man
settled back in his chair, a fragrant
cigar balanced between his strong,
slim fingers, one leg dropped loosely
over the other. After awhile the news

He sat there without moving for a
long time. His cigar, burning close,
had gone out. The fire having burned
low, he rose. laid a pair of heavy logs
across the Goals. dragged his chair to
the hearth and settled down in it deep

Long after his cigar burned bitter
he sat with eyes fixed on the blaze.
When the flames at last began to flick

dropped, but he had lost all reckoning
of time when he opened them again to
