Chapter 28 HER HOUSE OF CARDS

The shock of the news stunned Peggy and Philander Chase looked at her sympathetically. Her for tune vanished or at least the part of it with which she had planned to make her father and mother happy in their declining years.
 A moment of silence and then Peggy looked up, anxious for fur ther details.
 When did you discover this, MT. Chaser"
 When I was making an ap- praisal of the estate for my report to the probate court. So that you will understand, perhaps I better start at the beginning.
 "As I told you when saw you in New York, your uncle was very wealthy man. When he retired he placed small fortune in building and furnishing this place. After it was built, he turned all other real estate holdings into negotiable securities. These he put into a lock box in his vault in the Guar antee Trust company in New York,

churches; you know he went dippy on religion after his wifes death. :"
 T wasn't aware of it. Poor Uncle Herbert" She drew a long long breath. "Is there no way to trace the securities?"
 I've called in Pinkerton detec- tives," answered Chase. We plan a consultation with the bank off cials on Monday-Id like you to be in New York then"
 "Oh, but I can't leave here for more than an hour, until after the seventeenth of June" she exclaim- ed. If do. Jamieson Sinclair in- herits Yew Lodge"
 Chase regarded her dubiously. T believe any court would excuse your absence on such an errand," he explained patiently, and that it would not invalidate your claim to the inheritance under the will, which, if your uncle was mad, would be set aside, anyway"
 Peggy stared at him. And who would inherit then?"
 Your uncle's next of kin" That's father" interrupted Peg gy; she hesitated
 You are sure the property would not go to Commander Sinclair if , the will was set aside or broken9" Quite sure; Sinclair is Prescott's wife's relative, and she predeceased her husband"
 Chase rose with some abruptness.
 However, before I send for you on Monday-and I'll phone the eX- act hour of the meeting that after noon in time for you to reach the trust company-I will consult an eminent lawyer E. H. Blair, re- garding your uncles will and ask if your absence for such a cause will jeopardize your inheritance. Now T must go."
 Cant you wait for supper? Julia, my maid, will be back shortly" Your maid is out?" Chase put the question with a quick, nervous twist of his head. He drew step nearer, queer gleam in his eyes.
 Miss Prescott, T." Bang, went the knocker on the front door-a second time it's inn oerative summons echoed through the house before Peggy recovered
 sufficiently from her surprise to answer it. Obadiah Evans faced her on the threshold. "Howdy," he exclaimed heartily. I've brought the milk and cream; sorry it didn't get here this morn ing but Jim and I were both away and Deborah forgot to remind Si- mon. Let me carry the pails to the kitchen; they're heavy" I And he stepped into the room.
 Peggy closed the front door and
 followed him toward the dining loom.
 Wait, Mir. Evans" she exclaimed. Have you met MT. P hi a Ii q C r Chaser
 Deliberately Obadiah transferred
 both pails to one hand before fac ng the other man. 1 q heard MT. Prescott talk about

you," he said, extending huge hand, and I know your brother; 'taint any doubt about you being twins" regarding Chase closely.
 Our mother had difficulty telling us apart
 Chase rubbed his hands together, this time tenderly to feel his fin- gers which still felt the pressure of Obadiahs grip. I'll say she mad" Obadiah chuckled. We missed meeting at Phelps Tavern last night"
 Chase smiled wryly
 I'd have been wiser had I stayed there instead of trying to make Stone Tower; as it was I stopped overnight at Goshen and tn en missed Aquila this morning"
 Sure; he was down my way, so Debby said" Obadiah clicked the pails together "Soons I put these in the kitchen, I'll take you back with me"
 But I must return to Stone Tower"
 Its bad going over Mohawk pass after last nights rain" broke in Obadiah, quickly. Besides, Debby said your brother left word he'd be back"
 In that case" Chase turned to Peggy as Obadiah disappeared into the pantry; "Ill go with MT.

I was not only present but an off cial of the bank, the president to be exact, was present also.
 "Well?" questioned Peggy; her threat felt dry and parched. GO on, please"
 "Prescott's fortune was estimated then. and we have a list of the securities, at more than S1 100000. i Thursday, in the presence of an official from the registrar of wills office, and the president of the bank, I opened the safe de- posit box and found not one se- curity-not so much as a dime"
 Peggy eyed Chase in despair.
 But" she exclaimed, "Uncl e must have put the securities in an- other bank"
 His will, Miss Prescott, states that in that box would be found all his earthly possessions" broke in Chase, and the will, remember, was drawn up two months before his death"
 But then, some one must have broken into the box-gained access to it in some way-by trickery- forgery" as Chase shock his head
 Utterly impossible" he declared, with disheartening firmness. "A thief could as well break into the Rock of Gibraltar as get into a safe deposit box in the vaults of that company. Besides" he paused and took an envelope from his pocket; from it he withdrew slip of pa- per. This paper was lying in Pres cott's box-all that it contained. Read it, Miss Prescott"
 "The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord"
 She repeated vke quotation in a hushed voice.
 "Oh, MT. Chase, what does it ] mean?" she asked. Was Uncle-?" l Mad? l presume SO. He loOKed at her pityingly. T was most reluc- tant to tell you this" i "Oh, but it was all right to do so,' quickly "I-" she swallowed hard. Its hard to comprehend" i Surely; to have fortune slip away" he sighed Its devilish tough, Miss Prescott" .
 Peggy closed her eyes; Chase must not, should not see the blind ing tears Oh, the man did not know how dreadful it was; her plans for her father-her invalid mother-and Jim. Chase's voic e came to her from far off-what was that he was saying? Camely, des- perately, she pulled herself to- gether.
 There's no telling what your uncle did with the securities" he began; thrown them in the river given them away piecemeal-tc

Evans. I'll get in touch with you without fail Don't worry" he held her hand in firm clasp, and, above all, keep your own counsel" !"
 The advice was given in little above a whisper and Obadiah failed to catch it on reentering the room.
 I'm ready, now, MT. Evans and snatching up his hat Chase accom- panied the farmer out of the front door.
 Peggy watched them go, giving but a mechanical reply to Obadiah's last words, then closed the door Half across the room, she stopped and picked up the slip of paper found in her uncle's safe deposit hox
 Dropping down on a chair in front of his desk, she again read with dazed, bewildered eyes the message upon it.
 "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord"
 Suddenly her head fell forward on the desk and her overcharged feelings found vent in burst of tears-her inheritance was but a house of cards.

John Hays Hammond, Jr. Building
Marvellous House at Gloucester, Mass.
Structure Will Contain
Priceless Art Treasures
Collected in Europe

John Hays Hammond, jr.,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John

a house at Gloucester, Mass,
which will represent a COM
bination of rare old world
beauty with the scientific
marvels of the present age.
1t will contain priceless art
treasures collected from vari-
GUS parts Of Europe.
There will be a courtyard
walled with the sides of an
cient houses brought from
far-away countries and
rooted with celluloid to let in
the violet rays in the most
modern manner. At the
touch Of a. button artificial
rain or moonlight can be
produced upon a court in
the center of which is i'm
bedded a tomb made 200

Though the place looks like a
medieval castle, though it is to
house art wonders that might
well make the Metropolitan
Museum envious and though it
is eventually to be turned into
a museum, yet it is to be, first
of all, according to Mr.. Ham
mond, a home. And a home,
according to this inventor
builder, should be a place in
which enemies might live-that
is, a place in which each men,
