T presume the servants quar- ters are upHairs?"
 "Yes--ovcr the center of the houge."
 You also have rooms in the garage--may l ask--
 The interrogation was abruptly ended by their arrival at the White Haven gate. Linda swept the little car skiilfully around the curve In the road and between the posts and drove up so closely be- hind the other car that she had to brake hard to stop in time.
 Again Tom walked to the ga- rage with Shaughnossey. Linda, watching, was relieved tc see that he entered and went upstairs. He could hardly put the man to bed but it least he could see that he didn't set the place on ire or do other damage trying to find the lights. The rest of the party went up and dispersed silently, Pratt and DeVos tiptocing cautiously by Cousin Amos closed door.
 'J told him he could leave 1t open for the draft through but tho idea seemed to shock him." Linda whispered as they reached the little hall. Just then she heard from within a raucous grating sound which confirmed her belief that Cousin Amos had blandly ignored her earlier request. Per faps it's just as well--that door on the balcony makes the horrid- est noise and having this one shut mufrles 1t, at least. You have everything you want? Wcll--good- night. You can all sleep late to- morrow morningl'
 When Tom finally succeeded in escaping Shaughneggcy's gar rulous fricndiiness and returned, Linda sitting by the window to- ward the sound. 0 nthc bed lay her corn yellow velvet wrap, on the floor her wisp of frock, and her high -heeled pumps had been kicked off beside 1t. She seemed to have lacked energy to proceed further with the business of ur- dressing and when he came in simply rolled her eyes at him elo- gucntly and made no further move. He sank into . chair by another window and for 6 moment
 ary silence reigned.
 Did you ever know such a night!' Linda gathered her ener- | gics to speak first. "Neycr--riever | in all my born days was I go hot and cross anc disgusted. Az | 4 hougc party, this is the biggest | Wnshout I've ever had!"
