hoped that Bunny had not failed to
consult medium, and would send
her whatever dear Jim had had to
say in his old home.
Bunny went through the record,
and it. gave him strange thrill.
There were pages and pages of
sentimental rubbish about this
happy shore and this new state of
bliss, with angels wings and the
music of harps, and tell my dear
ones that | am with them, but
am wiser now, and dear Bunny
must know that l understand and
forgive-all stuff that might have
come out of the conscious or sub
conscious mind Of a sentimental
elderly lady or of a rascally me-
dunn. But then came something
that made the young man catch
his breath: 81 want my dear Bun
ny to know that it is really his
father who speaks to him, and he
will remember the man who got all
the land for us, and that he had
two gold teeth in the front of his
mouth, and Bunny said that some
body would rob his grave" How
in the name of all the arts of magic
was a medium in Paris to know
about joke which Bunny had made
to his father about Mr.. Hardacre,
the agent who had bought them op-
tions on ranches in Paradise, Cali
fornia?
By golly, it was something to
think about! Could it really be
that Dad was not gone forever,
but had just disappeared somewhere,
and could be got hold of again?
Bunny would go for walk to think
about it; and through the streets
of Angel City he would hear the
voice of Eli Watkins booming over
the radio. Ellis Tabernacle was
packed day and night, with the
tens of thousands who crowded to
see the prophet who had been
floated over the sea by the angels,
and had brought back a feather to

to drive the estate to the wall and
plumber it of everything. Present
ly he made a proposition-there
was the Roumainian oil venture,
into which Dad had put million
and a quarter in cash. Verne Of
fered to purchase this back for the
same amount, and the necessary
papers were prepared-the heirs all
had to consent to the sale, and they
did so, and then the court must ap-
prove the proposal. This meant
delay, and meanwhile the estate
was delinquent in the assessment
on the Ross Consolidated stock,
and this stock was to be sold out.
The money from the Roumainian
deal was to save it, but to the con-
sternation of the lawyers, the court
refused its consent to this deal.
There were technical points in
volved- the court questioned the
authority of Mrs. Alyse Ross's law
yers, and demanded her personal
signature, attested in France. In
short, the estate couldn't get money
in time for the sale, and it was
Vernon Roscoe who bought the
Ross Consolidated stock at a bar
gain.
Oh, how BERTHE raved and swore
the veritable daughter of a mule
driver! Verne, the filthy swine,
had put that trick over on them!
Not content with having stolen
Dads papers, he had diddled them
along like this, and got one of his
crooked judges to hold up the or
der, so that he might grab another
plum BERTHE threatened to take a
gun to Verne's office and shoot
him down like dog; but what she
really did was to abuse her brother,
who had been such fool as to make
a mortal enemy out of tie most
powerful man they knew.
It taught them lesson. They
would get themselves out of
Verne's clutches, get rid of every
thing that he controlled. Dad had
put nearly million into a concern
called Apglo-California, which was
to develop the big Mosul conces-
sion; and the lawyers of Alyse got
an offer for that stock, but it in
cluded time payments, and BERTHE
wouldn't agree to that, and the
lawyers wouldn't agree to Verne's
cash offer, and BERTHE was in ter
ror lest Verne would do some more
hocus-pocus--organize an Anglo
California Operating Company,
and lease the Mosul tract to do it,
and swipe all the profitsl

Another Student Kills Self.

ELMIRA, N. Y, Feb. 1s.-De-
spondency was believed today to be
the reason for the suicide of Miss
Edith M. Stewart, 81, of Tuxedo
Park, N. Y, student of Elmira Col
lege.
The girl declared she could not
face her parents if her suspension
from college, which was not even con-
templated, was ordered. Almost i'm
mediately afterwards she swallowed
some strichnine tablets which she had
taken from the infirmary office.

The upshot of the debate was
that no one of them was sure the
enterprise would be a success, but
all the young ones were willing to
pitch in and help, if Bunny was
determined for a try. And Bunny
said that he had already been look
ing about for site, with good land
and plenty of water, somewhere
about fifty miles from Angel City;
he was going to make a first pay
ment on land as soon as he could
get the cash, and meantime they
would work out the details. He
would give his own time for three
years to getting the institution on
its feet, and if it proved possible
to develop the right discipline and
morale, he would make the institu-
ton self-directing, and furnish
whatever money could be used eff
fectively. They would need teach
ers, organizers, and business man
ayers, so there were jobs for all.
And meantime, Bunny must go
back to the interviews with law
yers, to try to save as much as
possible of the estate. 1t meant
long wrangles with BERTHE, for their
affairs were in a snarl, and getting
worse every day. Verne insisted
that Ross Operating must have
funds to meet its current expenses;
and did they want him to assess
the stock, and force the estate to
raise the money, or did they want
him to buy the lease to the Ross
Junior tract, the only asset of Ross
Operating, except the claims
against the insurance companies?
Verne could do what he pleased,
because the directors of the con-
Germ were himself and his trusted
young executives. He was propos-
ing to form another concern, the
Paradise Operating Company -
with other trusted young execu-
tives as directors, and sell himself
the lease which had twenty years
still to run, and was worth nobody
could tell how many millions Of
dollars, for the sum of six hundred
thousand!
All right then, said Verne, let
the estate do better. BERTHE took
up the challenge, and exchanged
long cables with her husband in
Paris and went out among her rich
friends-to make the embarrassing
discovery that people who have six
hundred thousand dollars in cash
do a lot of investigating before
they spend it, and then want to hog
the whole thing for themselves.
BERTHE spent much worry and hard
worl5-and what made her most
furious was that she couldn't do it
for herself alone, but had to do it
for the whole estate, giving the in
competent Bunny and the infamous
Alye the benefit Of her labors. She
got a proposition; and then the
lawyers of the infamous Alyse
turned up with another PROPOSE
ton; and BERTHE declared they were
bigger thieves than Verne.
And then Ross Consolidated
needed money, and Verne was GO
Ing to assess that stock--meaning
