after them into the dining room.
The company is to be incorporated

tones. 1T will be the biggest thing

But. Forbes, you haven't answered
my question yet" Mr.. Frederick inter

and led us to a table. For a few mo-

ordered the luncheon. Aunt asked
Mr.. Frederick some questions. Evil

aroused some sort of suspicion in her
mind. But he answered them all so
frankly. was so bIuntly himself that

have said. and was chatting pleasant

The luncheon ordered. Neil at once
turned to Mr.. Frederick and began
to talk of the wonderful profits he
expected to make from this big oil

looked a bit embarrassed.
