Was CUIu, there were little fine b6aQS
of moisture on his face. 81 must ask
you not to move those pictures" And
then Aunt Selma came to the rescue;
she stalked over and stood with her
back against the stack of canvasses.
CAS- far as l understand this" she
acclaimed, "You gentlemen are trying
to intimate that James knows some
thing of that young woman's jewelry,
because you found a part of it in his
pocket. Certainly you will not move
the pictures. How do you know that
the young gentleman who said he
found it there didn't have it up his
sleeve?"
She looked around triumphantly,
and Max glowered. Dallas soothed
her, however.
Exactly So" he said. "How do we
know that Max didn't have the clasp
up his sleeve? Ny dear lady, neither
my wife nor I care anything for the
pearls, as compared with the priceless
pearl of peace. 1 suggest tea on the
roof; those in favor? My arm, Miss
Caruthers."
It was all we'll enough for Jim to
say later that he didn't dare to have
the canvases moved, for he had stuck
behind them all sorts of chorus girl
photographs and Iife-class crayons
that were not for Aunt Selina's eye,
besides four empty siphons, two full
ones, and three bottles Of whisky. Not
soul believed hirN; there was new
element of suspicion and discord in
the house.
Every one went up on the roof and
left him to his mystery. Anne drank
her tea in preoccupied silence, with
half-clOsed eyes, an attitude that bod
ed i'll to somebody. The rest were fe-
verishly gay, and Aunt Selma, with a
pair of arctics on her feet and hot
water bottle at her back, sat in the
middle of the tent and told me IA
miliar anecdotes of Jimmy's early
youth chad he known, he would have
slain herr Betty and Mr.. HARRISON

running around like pair of children
1t was quite certain that neither his
escape from death nor my accusation
weighed heavily on him.

noSe-1 forget Which-Jim himself ap.
peared and sulkily demanded the pri.
vacy of the roof for his training hour.
Yes, he was training. Flanagan
claimed to know the system that had
reduced the president to what he is,
and he and Jim had a seance every
day which left Jim feeling himself for
bruises all evening. He claimed to be
losing flesh; he said he could actually
feel it going, and he and Flanagan
had spent an entire afternoon in the
cellar three days before with a potato
barrel, cane-seated chair and lamp.
The whole thing had been shrouded
in mystery. They sandpapered the in
side Of the barrel and took out all the
nails, and when they had finished they
carried it to the roof and put it in a
corner behind the tent Everybody
was curious, but Flanagan refused
any information about it, and merely
said it was part of his system. Dial
said that if he had anything like that
in his system he certainly would be
glad to get rid of it.
At a quarter to six Jim appeared,
still sullen from the events of the
afternoon and wearing a dressing
gown and a pair of slippers, Flanagan
following him with a sponge, a bucket
of water and an armful of bath towels.
Everybody protested at having to
move, but he was firm, and they all
filed down the stairs. I was the last,
with Aunt Selma just ahead of me.
At the top of the stairs she turned
around suddenly to me.
THAT policeman looks cruel" she
said whats more, he's been in a
bad humor all day. More than likely
he'll put James flat on the roof and
tramp on him, under pretense of train
ing him. All policemen are inhu-
man"
'Ie only rolls him over a barrel or
something like that" I protested.
"James had lump like an egg over
his ear last night" Aunt Selma in
sisted, glaring at F1annigan's uncon-
scious back. Il don't think it's safe
to leave him. It is my time to relax
for 80 minutes, or would watch him.
You will have to stay" she said, fixing
me with her imperious eyes.
So l stayed. Jim didn't want me,
and Flanagan muttered mutiny But
it was easier to obey Aunt Selma
than to clash with her, and anyhow
wanted to see the barrel in use.
I never saw any one train before.
It is not a joyful spectacle. First,
Flanagan made Jim run, around anc
around the roof. He said it stirred Ut
his FOOD and brought it In contact
with his liver, to be digested.
Flanagan, from meekness and sub
mission of sort, became an autocrat
on the roof.
