Dolly, misinterpreting his silence.
The stuff isn't doing any good, just

back about the law is simply mashed

lengthy term of years in prison? It
was OH this aspect of the matter that

spoken more wistfully. We would BE-

Not a chance. Who's going to say
anything? You're not. I'm not. Pops

serted Mr.. Molloy.
Mr.. Carmody gazed out over the
waters of the moat. His brain, quick
ened by the stimulating prospect of
money for nothing, detected another
doubtful point.

But whom could we trust in such
a matter?"
That's all right. Pops got friend,
another millionaire like himself, who
would put this thing through, just to
oblige pop. You could trust him."
"Who?" asked Mr. Molloy, plainly
surprised that any friend of his could
be trusted.
Chimp" said Dolly briefly.
"Oh, Chimp" said Mr.. Molloy his
face clearing Yes. Chimp would do it,"
Who asked Mr.. Carmody, is

"shucks!" said Mr.. Molloy, with a
good deal of feeling.
Dolly linked her arm in his with a
pretty gesture of affectionate solicitude.

Mr.. Carmody regarded his guest
sourly.

asked. with certain resentment.

gested that some pleasing thought was
passing through her always agile brain;

could not see any sense in it.

Mr.. Molloy.

and obey him, but she had never said

Over in America he's got great big

It became apparent to Mr.. Molloy
that, at the back of his wife'S mind,
there floated some idea at which,
handicapped by his masculine slowness
of wit, he could not guess. 1t was plain
to him. however, that she expected him
to do his bit. so he did it.

You see," explained Dolly, "the

Mr.. Carmody's always rather protu-
berant eyes had been bullying farther
and farther out of their sockets all
through this exchange of remarks. and
now they reached the farthest point
possible. and, stayed there. His breath
was coming in little gasps. and his fin

suffering the extreme of agony.

my expenses. Farmers in England to-
day sit up at night trying to think of
new claims they can make against a

There was another pause.
That's bad" said Mr.. Molloy
thoughtfulIy. Yes, sir, that's bad"
His commiseration was not al for Mr..
Carmody. In fact very little Of it was.
Most of it was reserved for himself. 1t
began to look, he realized. as though in
coming to his stately home of England
he had been simply wasting valuable
time. 1t was not as if he enjoyed stay
ing at country houses in a purely aes-
thetic spirit On the contrary, place
like Rudge Hall afflicted his toWn-bred
nerves Being in it seemed to him like
living in the flrst-act set of an old
fashioned comic opera. He always felt
that, at any moment, band of vii
layers and retainers might dance out
and start drinking chorus.

high-pressure sales talks of his that did
so much to keep the wolf from the door.
Then she had seen a shadow fall
athwart his fine face, and, scenting a
hitch in the negotiations, had hurried
up to lend wifely assistance.

said Mr.. Molloy, in thin voice.
Strictly speaking, it was not. Before

relating to heirlooms prevented them

what's more, 1 guess all this stuff Is
insured, isn't it? Well. then, Mr.. Car
mody can stick to the insurance money,
and he's that much up, besides what
ever he gets from you
There was silence. Dolly had said
her say and Mr.. MollOy felt, for the
incapable of speech. That he
had not been mistaken in SuppoSing
that his wife had a scheme at the
back of her head was now plain, but,
as outlined. it took his breath away.
Considered purely as a scheme, he had
not word to say against 1T. 1t was
commercially sound and did credit to
the ingenuity of one whom he had al
ways regarded as the slickest thinker
of her SEX But it was not the sort OF
scheme, he considered. that ought to
have emanated from the presumably
innocent and unspotted daughter OF a
oil millionaire. 1t was CAL
culated. he felt, to create in their hosts
mind doubts and misgivings as to the
sort of people he was entertaining.
He need have no such apprehension
1t was not righteous disapproval that
was holding Mr. Carmody dumb.
1t had been laid down by an acute
thinker that there is subtle connec-
ton between felony and fat. Almost
all embezZlers, for instance, says this
are fat men. Whether this
is or Is not true, the fact remains that
the sensational criminality of the sug-
gestion just made to him awoke no
horror in Mr. Carmody'S ample bosom.
He was startled, as any man might be
who had this sort of idea sprung sud-
denly on him in his own garden, but
he was not shocked. He had to a re-
markable degree that Specious charity

shaking her head. You call yourself

that gallery place you showed us round
yesterday is jam pull of pictures worth
fortune an inch and tapestries and all
those gold coins?"
"Heirlooms."
"HoW'S that?"
They're heirlooms," said Mr.. Car
mody bitterly.
He always felt bitter when he
thought of the Rudge Hall heirlooms.
He looked upon them as a mean joke
played on him by a gang of sardonic
ancestors
To a man. lacking both reverence
of the beautiful in art, who comes into
possession of an ancient house and its
contents, there must always be some
thing painfully ironical about heir
looms. To such a man they are simply
so much potential wealth which is
being allowed to lie idle, doing no good
to anybody. Mr.. Carmody had always
had that feeling very strongly.
Unlike the majority of heirs, he had
not been trained from boyhood to re-
we're the home of his ancestors and to
sacred trust. He had been the second
son of a second son, and his chance
of ever succeeding to the property was
at the outset so remote that he had
seldom given it a thought. He had
gone into the business at an early age,
and when, in middle life, series of
accidents made him squire of Rudge
Hall, he had brought with him to the
place a practical eye and the CONNER
cial outlook The result was that, when
he walked in the picture gallery and
thought how much solid cash he could
get for this ValaSquez or that Gains
borough, If only he were given free
hand, the iron entered into Lester Car
mody'S soul.
They're heirlooms," he said. 81
How come? They're yours, aren't
they?"
NO" said Mr.. Carmody, "they be-
long to the estate"
On Mr.. Molloy, as he listened to his
hosts lengthy exposition of the laws
governing heirlooms there descended a
deepening cloud of gloom. You couldn't
it appeared, dispose of the darned
things without the consent of trustees:
while even if the trustees gave their
consent. they collared the money and

ETHYLENE USED FOR
ANAESTHESIA HERE
Said to Have Same Advantages
as Ether but Leaves No
i.fter.Effects

Ethylene was used as an anaes-
thesia for the first time in Bismarck
at the St. Alexius hospital Tuesday
afternoon, according to an announce
ment made by Sister NJ. Boniface.
The gas was administered as an
anesthetic to q patient for a major
operation which was performed by a
Bismarck surgeon.
Though ethylene is being used in
many eastern hospitals; hospitals in
only two other North Dakota cities
have used it. Those hospitals are at
Grand Forks and Fargo.
Ethylene is said by local physicians
to have all the anaesthetic powers of
ether but ut the same time leaves no
after effects as ether does.
Ethylene is administered at the
local hospital with q safety gas oxy-
gen apparatus, which was installed
in the local institution about a week
ago.
The apparatus cleanses the gas Of
grease, graphite, and oil in water
bath and eliminates the possibility of
static discharges and explosions. The
apparatus also has a forcing valve
with which the flow of the ethylene
may be regulated. The apparatus
is portable, and, without tanks and
the stand, weighs from II to "a
pounds.
