DEoNHe, utSe SetSe Ol uuiuuI Nds strongly attracted by this time. "If there Is anything more to be learned concerning matrimony I'd like to know It." N
 "Yes. Mir. Saunders. you may pro. ceed." said Lady Agnes passing a hand over her bewildered eyes.
 Thank you. my lady. Well. here 1t Is in q nutshell: have not spoken of it before. but you and Mir. Browne can very easily comply with the provisions any time. Now, r.
 And where do come in?" demand ed Deppingbam sarcastically.
 Yes, and I?" added Mrs. Browne. "Yor forget us. Mir Saunders"
 Il include Mrs Browne" amended Dcppingham. Are we to be assas snated? By love, clever idea of yours. Saunders! Simpliiies matters tremen dously."
 'I hear no objection from the heirs" remarked Saunders meaningly. where upon Lady Agnes and Bobby came out of their stupor and protested vigor. ously.
 Miss Pelham" said Britt. breaking In sharply. "l trust you are getting all of this down. I wish to warn you. ladies and gentlemen, that l expect to overthrow the will on the ground that there K insanity on both sides. You'll oblige me by uttering just what you feel"
 "My plan is very simple" began Saunders helplessly.
 "Demmed simple" growled Dcpping ham,
 We are living on an island where polygamy is practiced and tolerated Why cant we take advantage of the custom and beat the natives at their own game? That's the ticket"'
 Of course this proposition. simple as 1t sounded. brought forth q storm of laughter and approximation. but Saun- ders held his ground.
 You have only to embrace Moham- mechanism or organism. or whatever it Is. temporarily long enough to get married and comply with the terms. Then, dare say. you could re- sume your Christian doctrine once more. after few weeks, I'd say. and the case is won"
 ''l pay Lady Deppingham the com pllment by saying that it would be most difficult for me to become a Christian again." said Browne smooth ly, lowing to the flushed Englishwo- man.
 How very sweet of your she said, with grimace which made Drusilla shiver with annoyance.
 You don't need to live together. Of course" foundered Saunders, getting rather beyond his depth.
 Well that's concession on your part" said Mrs. Browne, a flash in her eye.
 "I never heard of such an asinine proposition" sputtered Deppingham. Saunders went completely under at that
 On the other hand" he hastened to III Suit u npuih pC QuiAt legal if you did live to-
 stop him, for heavens sake" screamed Lady Agnes, bursting into uncomfortable laughter.
 Stop hhn! WhyT' demanded her husband. suddenly seeing what he re- garded as rare joke. Let's hear him out. By love. there's more 10 it than thought. Go on, Saunders"
 "Of course if you are going to be nasty about it'- began Saunders in a huff.
 ''I cant see anything nasty about it, said Browne. I'll admit that our wife and our husband may decide 10 be stubborn and unreasonable. but it sounds rather attractive to me"
 Robert" from his wife
 Hes only joking Mrs. Browne" ex- plained Deppingham magnaninously NOW. let me understand you, Saun- ders. You say they can be married according to the customs-w which, l take it. are the laws--of the islanders. Your plan provides Browne with two charming wives and gives me but one. There's nothing to compel Mrs. Browne to marry me"
 But, my lord" said Saunders, doesn't the plair give Lady Depping ham two husbands? It's quite a fair division"
 Tt would make Lord Deppingham my husband-in-law, l imagine" said DrusilIa quaintly I've always had a horror of husbands-in-law."
 And you would be my wifein-law," supplemented Lady Agnes. How in terestingr'
 Saunders" said Deppingham sober ly. "l must oppose your plan. It's quite unfair to two Innocent and unin- volved parties. What have we done that we should be exempt from polyg- amy?"
 "You are not exempt" exclaimed the harassed solicitor. "You are merely not obliged to; that's all. You can do as you choose about it, I'm sure. I'm sorry my plan causes so much levity. It is meant for the good of our cause The will doesn't say how many wives MT. Browne shall have. It simply says that Agnes Ruthven shall be his
