PICK. YOUR LOT
AND NAME YOUR
OWN PRICE

In this unusual Silent Auction you actually pick
out your lot and name your own price for it. Find
ing lot that you like, you estimate its actual
value. Then you deduct maybe so per cent from
that valuation and make your bid on that basis.
You write your bid on a card supplied for the pur
pose and hand it to salesman. If there are no
higher bids in, the lot is yours. ALL yours.
This plan means that you can come here in posi-
ton to pay as low as $50 for lOt-AND GET 1T.
You must pay cash, it is true. But the full price
will be no greater than the amount that is often
asked as down payment on property of equal
value. With responsible people will be willing
to discuss accommodations for short period.
If you do buy lot, we earnestly advise you to hold
it for resale at profit. Indianapolis is the best
town in the United States and with property right
at the edge of town in good location, as these
lots are, do you have any doubt in the world that
you can take a profit it? You'll enjoy the
Silent Auction. 1t will be full of suspense and
surprises. ONE OF THE BIG SURPRISES FOR
YOU WILL BE THE LOW PRICE WHICH WILL
MAKE YOU OWNER OF ONE OF THESE LOTS.

CHAPTER s


Afterward it seemed to Mary
that fog settled, upon the re-
mainder of the evening and it was
only when some breeze of startled
recollection lifted for a moment
the blur that incidents came out
sharply and stood before her with
q sort of challenge.
One of these was the imperious
way in which Iris turned her back
on her own party and took posses
sion of the red-haired boy. She
made way for him at her side with
more animation than Mary ever
had seen her show before. He
darted swift glance about before
so his back was to the wall. 1t
crowded them all a bit and Mary
wondered why he did this.
Soon they were joined by the
thin-faced, blaek-eyed youth. No.
body introduced him but later
Mary understood that his name
was Corso.
A strange gathering It was: Iris
leaning toward the burglar who
seemed unable to turn his eyes
from her; Cosmo Sneden, aloof, un.
interested, rather supercilious,
drinking steadily but never get
ting drunk; Corso with his air of
waiting; Junior entirely absorbed
In Nell who neither encouraged
nor evaded his paving hands and
whose eyes were like green flames
under the smudge of lashes.
And Mary, left to herself, watch.
Ing-braced against some high vol.
tage current running between
them all.
She recol1ected Iris rising to
dance with Mullins. and her own
protest.
.Don't. Iris! Wait, let me tell

But the tall girl shrugged and
laughed as he glided out on the
floor. And a winsome couple they
made, Mary had to admit; the
siNer.gilt head thrown back, gray
eyes smiling up into the face. so
near her own. All the light con-
centrated on the mans blazing
hair.
Then she saw Nell's gaze on
them and a chill wound her throat.
