exclaimed. He doesn't sound SO
crazy to me. Quit worrying,
Gwen. Well talk it over in the
morning"
When she met Teddy Van Har-
rin"ton in the drawing room they
kissed perfunctorily, exchanged
gossip and went out to his wait
ing car. They attended the the
ater and then were driven to the
currently fashionable night club
known as The Windmill" where
Paul Canby's orchestra was play
ing.
Here, quite as she expected,
Elaine had trouble with Teddy.
He suddenly remembered that she
was his fiancee-or at least on
the verge of being-and sullcnly
resented the orchestra leaders at
tcntions to the golden Miss Chal-
mers. Several times Candy turned
over his baton to his assistant
while he danced with Elaine.
People noticed, shrugged, whis-
pcrcd. Teddy sulked.

Dice Long in U.s.

There seems to have been no ma
Rod Of history and no nation in
which some form of dice has not
been used. They are pictured on
early Egyptian monuments. Those
eXcavated at Thebes are almost
identical with the ones In use to-
day. Their use Is attested by laws
regulating the games Ilaycd with
them In ancient Greece and Rome
as well as in most later European
countries. The invention OF dice
IS attributed to Palamedcs. who
lived about 1914 i. c., but the use
Of cubes with numbered sides for
gambling purposes is probably
much older.

get any mail from Annapolis to-
day or tomorrow, put it in a PLAN
envelope and forward it special
delivery, will you. You'll find
envelopes and stamps in tn C
desk"
That evening Hortensc found
the expected Annapolis letter III
the school mail office and, being
Ipenulnely conscientious a b o U t
promises, took it to Elaine's room
TO readdrcss it. She knew that
Mrs. Deal was alarmed at the
mere thoght of having a poor
young naval officer for a sor-in-
law. 1t amused Hortense to send
this letter to Elaine under the
offlclous Mrs. Deals very nose.
She hoped, too, that Elaine would
end by making some such ordi-
nary marriage as this one-it
would be quite a joke after the
wide swathe she'd cut as a debu-
tante.
While rummaging for a large
plain envelope to enclose the An
napolis missive, Hortense CHANGED
on q sealed letter directed to John
Mcneil, 1910 Garfield Avenue,
Worthwhile, Ohio SO Elaine
had written to that Ohio chap and
forgotten to stamp and mail it!
Well, she'd attended to that one
too. She did. Presently the two
letters were mailed.
Elaine, her mother and step
father had dinner en- famille that
night. Elaine though, looking
from one to the other, They're

ing from place to place, changing
houses ond clothes with the sea-
sons and surpressing their enthu-
siasms. Elaine found her mother
g bit more Cutlery and thin and
acid, her beauty not so much fad
ed as Sharpened. Elaine called
her "Gwcn" and did not greatly
love her.
As for her stcpfathcr, Elaine
actively disiikcd him; a heavily
handsome morose man like the
william in q fashionable play.
Elaine diverted conversation
from Dcauville to Worthwhile by
asking. do you ever think of
going back to Ohio to visit, Gwen?
To your old home, l mean?"
God forbid" said Gwen Deal.
"Nothin"s left but that mauso-
ieum and old Rcrtha Gibbs. l do
my duty by both. ! keep them"
Higate Deal looked up from his
plate with heavy-lidded eyes.
"And you're fool, Gwen, to do
it. What does rank sentiment
profit you?"
"Thc house is not entirely mine
to SELL" said the woman sarply.
"You know that, Higate."
"Who else does the place be-
long to-" asked Elaine.
Fer mother answered shortly.
"To your Uncle Duncan Hunter.
He's insane. Locked in an insti-
tuition"
"Oh," said Elaine. She saw her
mothers face grow more sharp,

mics before Duncan had to be
locked up"
"Why was he locked up, cx-
actly" asked Elaine.
Gwen Deal began to weep nerv-
ously into a fragile chiffon hand
kerchief. "It's all horrible
scandal, Elaine! Sometimes
can't sleep at night for thinking
of it. Your Uncle Duncan came
back from one Of his South Amer
lean trips just in time to attend
an important directors meeting
of the railroad. [ think he must
have been half out of his head
with fever or something. He dis
agreed with your stepfather's
policies and they came to blows.
Higate had him put in a sani-
tarium. He almost killed a doc
tor there-the doctor Higate had
engaged to treat him. After that
we had him adjudged insane and
locked up. It's horrible. Pm his
own sister and l haven't seen him
for years. And now he's escaped
wandering around. God know;
where. He may come here and
kill Higate, out of revenge"

Elaine said, Nonsense, Gwen
| remember Uncle Duncan very
well. He was a good sort. Not
the rcvengeful type at all"
'People become different when
they lose their minds" Mrs. Deal
pointed out "They said they'd
traced him to one of the high
ways leading to New York. 1t
seems he escaped with crowd
of students who's been going
through the place. After he left
them he went to a used-car store

"You ought to 1T rid of her."

Later, as Elaine was putting on
makeup and wrap for the the

said, first closing the door care
fully, "I'm terribly worr led,
Elaine. It's something l can't talk

CHAPTER NIX
It was Friday and Elaine Chal-
mers was leaving college Tor a
weekend in New York. Her
mother and stepfather were now
in their Fifth avenue house, and
Elaine was about to combine a
dutiful visit home with a week
end of gaicty.
As q porter carried her bags
away she paused in the doorway
of the room to bid goodby to her
friend, Hortense Stokesbury, who
was applying herself to Renais-
sance art on the chaise lounge.
"Stay as long as you like, Hor-
tense" Elaine said. "Thcse rooms
