best-stocked cellars in New York, and
bore a pre-war label.
Yet these we'll dressed Youngsters
seemed 10 be helplesslv intoxicated.
Their stertorous breathing and aban-

that apparent fact Then the butler
smiled, not willingly. it is true, out

Coleman van Cortland, his employer,

judge, van Ccrtlands plight was in no
wise less discreditable than that Of any
Of his friends. Indeed, the host was
stretched on his back on the hearth
rug, in front of fireplace which stood
between the two northern windows.
So the butler raised the blind and
opered the window both above and be-

entered the room. Hence, there was
not a pronounced draught, but the in

with distinct shock.

with water, and standing On high but
narrow round table. was plump gold

The butler uttered a most un- butler

had been his pet for many months.
