TO the perfectly proper methods en-
ployed by his newly self constituted
guide and mentor. No; that was no
concern of Planks. All he had to do
was to be ready. AS for Quarter, any
body could forecast his action when
once convinced of Sylviars behavior.
He lay there bordering several meth
DDS OF imparting the sad but neces-
sary information to Quarter. One
thing was certain--there was not now
time enough before the house party
dissolved to mold Plank into acqui-
escent obedience. That must be fin
ished In town unless Plank invited him
to stay at the Felfs after his time was
up at Shotover. BY heaven, that was
the idea! And there'd be a chance for
him at cards. Only, of course, Plank
would ask Leila too. But what did he
care? He was no longer afraid of her.
He'd soon be Independent Of her and
her pittance.
And so, immersed in the details of
his dirty little drama he pondered over
the possibility of an Interior gentle
man as he moved heavily to and fro,
dressing himself, his neuralgia being
much better, and presently descended
the stairs to find everybody absent,
engaged, as a servant explained, in a
game of water basket ball III the
swimming pool So he strolled of to-
ward the north wing of the house,
which had been built for the squash
7conf7s and swimming pool.
The Page boys and Rena and Eileen,
on one side, were playing the last
snatch game against Sylvia, Marion
Page, Siward and Ferrall on the other.
The big, slipping. glistening ball was
flying about through storms Of spray.
Marion caught it, but her brother Cor
don got it away Then Ferrall secur-

(Chapter seven-Continued)


Quarter had a right to know what sort
of a girl he was threatened with for
fife. A man ought not to let another
man go blindly into such a marriage.
Men owed each other something, even
Iif they were not particularly close
friends. And he had always had a
respect for Quarter even q sort of Xix
Ding for him-yes, a distinct liking!
And, anyhow, women were devils, and
It behooved men to get together and
stand for one another!
Quarter would give her her walking
papers, and, in her humiliation, is
there anybody mad enough to fancy
that she wouldn't snap up Plank In
such fix and make it look like a jllt
for Quarter? But Plank must do his
part Oh the minute Plank must step
up in the very nick of time. Plank,
with his millions and his ambitions,
was bound to be winner anyway,
and. Sylvia might as well be his pilot
and use his money. And Plank would
he very, very grateful-very useful, a
very good friend to have, and Leila
would learn at last that he, Mortimer,
had cut his wisdom teeth, by God!
As for Siward, he amounted to moth
ing. Probably was one Of that con
femptible sort of men who butted in
and kissed a pretty girl when he had
the chance. He, Mortimer, had only
disgust for such amateurs of the social
byways-
After all, the matter was simple-ab-
surdly simple. A word to Quarter,
and, crack, the match was off! Girl
mad as a hornet, but staggered, has
no explanation to offer-man frozen
stir with rage, mute as an iceberg.
Then. zip, enter Beverly Plank, the
girls rescuer at pinch, her preserver,
the savior of her ftface," the big high
" colored, leaden eyed deus ex ma
china. Would she take so cents on the
dollar--would she, to buy herself a
new face" and put 1t all over Quar-
rier. and live happy ever after would
she? oh, not at all!
The main thing, after all, was to
promise Plank his opportunity, but not
tell him how he was to obtain 1t, for
Mortimer had an uneasy idea that
there was something of the Puritan
deep planted under the stolid young
mans hide and that he might make
some absurd and irrelevant objection
