L y to be kept in Linda's code, but
when Pete Gardeners call reminded
her of their date for Sunday after
noon she thought of Dix and did
something she had never done in
her life before. She lied to him.
I'm terribly sorry" Linda said,
"but I'm afraid I can't keep our
date. Something unexpected, some
thing about the-the estate has
come up-and I've got to see some
one at A.
There was the briefest of silences.
Linda couldn't know that it was
bitter disappointment. Then Pete
tried again:
eff it's not going to keep you late,
couldn't I pick you up for supper?"
TT was Linda,s turn to hesitate.
4 Dix hadn't said anything about
supper. He had said he would come
by around4 4. Hoping that he would
stay. she had already prepared a
little supper for them.
"I'm afraid it will be too late. And
I'm . I'm really sorry" she
said almost truthfully.
"Okay. Well try another time, >
Pete said with a lightness he didn't
feel. And when he had rung off, his
lips frightened as they had when he
was a little boy. Perhaps Miss
Bourne didn't care for the idea of
going across the tracks to the Gar
diner home for supper.
Linda didn't think of that or of
Pete's mother until much later that
day. Dix was coming
At 3 Linda took off the mourning
frock and put on her black velvet.
She arranged and re-arranged the
flowers, the tea-tray. She lighted
fires in the library and drawing
room. She opened the windows so
that the early spring air and sun
shine would rout out the atmosphere
of tragedy that still chung to the
silent rooms.
TT was nearly when Dix came

drive and, through the curtains,
Linda saw him glance at his wrist

Sues for Four Trillion,
 Will Take Goods Instead

NAGPUR, India, Aug. 11--A suit for four trillion dollars has been filed in the high court here by a wealthy Indian against the Brit ish government.
 It is the largest suit ever brought in this country and may constitute a world record. The Indian is su- ing through the Secretary of State for India.
 The petitioner claims that his fa- ther-in-law died in London and ap- pointed the Secretary of State for India his trustee to property in India and other lands, including two gold mines and three oil wells. The petition adds that if the mon- ey is not immediately available he will accept property of equal val ue.
 The sum is approximately 10 times the size of Chancellor Neville Cham berlain, 1886 British budget.
