the Unsuitable curiosity of women,
and Jack Immediately ut the end of
the speech remarked to Mr.. Sartoris
that ! did not have any curiosity at
all. He added he did not think !
would ever question anything he
said to me.
Mr.. Sartoris rather took exception
to this, and said he thought he could
awake my curiosity if Jack would
enter into the plot with him. Ac-
corulngiy the plan was made between
Jack and Sgd Carton and Mr.. Sar-
toris. 1t was ultimately carried out
to perfection, although at one time
Jack came neaH to throwing the
whole thing overheard.
In accordance with the plan made
by the thrce men. Melville Sartoris
wired me that he was coming 10

vite. any of my friends that chos"
up to thirty to lunch with him the
next day on his yacht.
OF course, before this Mr.. Sartoris
had wired Jack. and he had invited

them the luncheon was to be given
at the Travellers Club. after which
W" were all to take passenger aero
planes over to Atlantic City where
the yacht was mOorcd. Then we
were to have dinner, and board a
private car for home.
Doesn't that sound like a wonder

The catch in the whole thing. of
course, was that I would accept it

how Mr. Sartoris could give n lunch
con on board his great sea-going
yacht in an inland city, and | would
not even ask anything about the ar
rangements.
