 Leaving Daisy at Hidden Brook with Mrs. Hill, Tom drove back to Mason Towers, with his uncle and aunt and me. In the early morning. yhe offered to take Evvy and me to town in his car, but greatly to my astonishment, Evvy reverted to a statement I'd never considered seriously from the moment she made it:
 NO, thank you. Tom. If you'll take my trunk with you. I'll be duly grateful But I'm driving the blue roadster in Anne can take it straight to her garage and use it ev- cry minute I'm gone. You'll know Just what to do with the trunk
 Really Evvy." murmured awk- wardly, q can't accept so much. Why not leave your car here-er take it with you-unless you're going too far?'
 ''I can't tell you how far I'm go- ing" replied Evvy after a moments hesitation. She gFancer at Tom with an air which actually seemed fright ened. This didn't escape me. but l couldn't interpret it. "Bbt as for the car, Pm determined you shall have the benefit of it. More than ever after our chat last night about your new business. Think how fine it will be to spin around from ma gazine t> customer and from printing plant to bank in a car. You'll save lot of time and carfares." .....-.---,
 At this juncture I couldn't be so ungracious as to mention that garage bills would eat into my worldly goods with far more eorroding effect than oar fares. Moreover, wasn't greatly worried about expenses So Evvy car ried her point, and we spun off for the city in the blue car. I had an idea that Carlotta and might while away a. number of dull evenings by driving off to the country. I resolutely re- fused to consider Virginia's attitude 1 in the matter.

 "Can't see you off ?'' asked after we'd driven the car to a garage and 1 with sinking. heart I'd arranged for 1 space at the extortionate new rates. ''No, rna'am," tvv1nkled Evvy. "Our 1 business woman is past due at her l office now. But I felt this wasn't the reason for all the mystery, but if 1t gave her satisfaction to creep off 1 quietly.

And two things stood out in my mind. I couldn't send that messenger if I would, for it was lock ed in Virginia's safe at -Dreamwold. But even if it were in my power to summon Lane and my need was great, Evvy's pleas for Val would stop me from calling on the big brown bear to give any part of the strength which

 my advent, Miss May looked up across her typewriter with an eager:

 Of course, we couldn't, agreed Miss May. But it does seem a, shame to lay out so much money for these big concerns which wouldn't notice 1t at all if they gave you an expense ac- count or a drawing account or what ever you call it.''
 Then she busted herself making out the checks while I went over my mail and phoned for their best rates to a, few magazines which hadn't replied to my letters. The Yelda people asked me to come over for a consultation about some new advertising they had under consideration. So after I had attended to all the immediate office door.

Irwin Weinstein, receiver. in state
ment yesterday added that both H. l.
Vaudeville and his partner. Thomas IL
sealy, have been diligently but unsuc-
cessfully sought for.
The firm did the great bulk of It's
business with rural customers. Some OF
the individual losses. it was ascertained
will run high.
The liabilities are just about s2,-
100000 and the assets $1,000" said the
receiver. There is. however. saft de-
posit box in the name of Sealy which is
yet to be opened.
I'VE found their safe empty. There
were no books, which we learned were
in the keeping of Snitkin & Goodman.
We obtained them only after we had
obtained five court orders and had
threatened contempt proceedings.
'In one case, we learned, a veteran
who had lost both his legs in the war
lost about everything he had Just at the
last minute before the failure. Some OF
the creditors have gone to the Distric,
Attorney. and we stand ready to turn
the books over to Mr.. Banton when he
asks for them"
The firm of Vaudeville & Co. did not
belong TO any exchange. When the
involuntary petition In bankruptcy was
filed no statement Of probable assets or
liabilities was given. The total of the
claims filed at that time was about
$1,000. twas then said Vaudeville had
promised to settle all claims against
himself and to help settle the affairs of
the firm.
