They picked their way through
the trees and the Chiseler ac-
quainted the Ape with the location
of the Smokehouse. Then, guided
by Miss South, they stole silently
to a position beneath the small
porch.
"And listen, you," Miss South
whispered to the Ape. Don't get
Stampeded if ! don't show up with
Hardness for a couple Of hours.
This is a party, see? And l don't
propose to leave it till I'm outside
of a good supper and pint or two
of champagne. But when you hear
my Silvery laugh ring out, you look
alive. And don't come charging out
of the shrubbery, either. This thing
requires finesse. Coietti."
"You should be getting back.

Right you are, professor"
She blew kiss off her finger

and went swiftly up the steps.

"A man and a woman got out of 1t.
They seemed able bodied and very

ReveIry By Night
THE sumptuous dining room
1 owned by Mr.. Richard Craft
onhury Adams was scene of rev.
eiry by night. At the behest Of Mr..
Jonathan Hariand Adams Ms.
Dipsang, housekeeper-in-chief at
Saltair Acres, had arranged a re-
past that would have made one of
Lucullus' cosier little dinners look
like q quick snack in dog-wagon.
FlunkeyS came and went, bear
ing rich gifts. Champagne corks
popped gaily. The blue smoke of
cigarettes spiraled toward the
ceiling. In fine, q good and thor
oughly indigestible time was being
had by all--that is, all but one.
That one was Matherton. a trip
le- chinned importation from Eng
land. who held the Office of butler
at Saltair Acres. Matherton was
huge man with iron-gray hair. a
pontifical bearing and q paunch as
big pc the state Of Rhode IslarS
His general aspect was somewhat
whitening. like Westminster ABB
bev IN q fog.
Matherton could have tolerated
the entire affair better had it not
been for the presence of the East
brothers at table and the advent
of Sukiyaki who had been rele-
gated to the Kitchen. On sight,
Matherton had considered the East
brothers something unSeemly. And
Sukiyalxi, now getting outside of
light, but embracing, repast at the
kitchen table, simply had no place
in his scheme OF things.
/ Upon these matters he spoke
confidentiaHv to Monsieur Marcel
Etienne Guillaurne du Gualncourt.
