"A gentleman has been waiting

Farquahar nodded, assembled the
elevator, and opened the door. Gill

I passed up tea with a wonderful

Holmes was staggered. why I

you to deny it."
Holmes was angry. "See here,
Jack, there is some mistake. Who
told you such rot?"

a friend reminding her of what she
had confessed. Lila denied it, of
course" said Farquahar carefully.

Dan sighed reSignedly.

he said. Anyway, there was no
harm trying. So long, Len"
The butler showed him out.
Half an hour later the hall por-
ter at the Hunt Club sent a page to
Herbert, who was playing a last
rubber of bridge in the card room
before starting for home and Lila.
There is person asking to see
you, sir. He claims that he was a

CHAPTER XXXVII.
A Good Yarn Wasted

HERBERT prided himself on his
Il Il composure under all cipcdm-
stances, and he was convinced he
could carry off any situation.
He regarded the man who claimed
to be Lila'S Uncle Dan from South
America with an air of polite in
terest and concealed his natural
amazement.
This was not the sort of person
he would have selected as a rela-
tive of his wife; nor could he
reconcile Uncle Dams appearance
with the gesture that had given
away $4,000 to charity.
Herbert greeted him cordially and
invited him to have something
that might not necessarily be ginger
ale"
But Uncle Dan with a wistful
look refused the generous offer.
Thank you son." said Uncle Dan.
I'm rather unwanted around here.
You see, sir, was kicked out of here
once" he said plainly.
Herbert's Mortified expression
made him smile grimly.
But I'd like TO talk to you some
place else"
Herbert bundled Uncle Dan into
a taxi with speed, his head in a
whirl. Why hadn't Lila mentioned
this before.
Arriving home, Herbert was polite.
He piled Dan with cigars in the
smoking room. His caller sighed
contentedly.
you've been successful in South
America, 1 understand" asked Her
bert politely.
We'll, I've kept my head above
water" the little man replied.
Herbert was puzzled. And your
wife?"
But I never had a wife," said
Dan blandly.
Herbert stared. you didn't have
a son killed in the WARP"
NO" His caller set down his
glass.
Herbert rose and paced the moor.
Pardon this personal question. But
why did YOU send my wife $4,000
to give to charity in memory Of
your dead Scn?"
Dams mouth opened ludicrously.
Says. If had $4,000 I'd put it in
an old sock and retire"
1t seemed to Herbert that
the room was swimming around.
There's some mistake somewhere, "
he muttered.
I'll say there is, if anybody has
been telling you I went in for
charities. I'm the best object for
charity you ever saw. Son, I've
been skimping for twenty-five
years.

through it like fool after my father
