Miles waited until he heard the other's footsteps descending the stairs before he ex- tinguished the light and raised the shade. As he looked across the grounds a shambling male figure strolled down the drive. It was assumedly neither the rotund chef nor the elderly, digni- fied butler. Could it be the "outside man" or was there an eavesdropper, an interloper hanging about the place? Descending to the ground floor, Miles wandered out through the entry. and across the driveway. The hour was growing late and it was probable that he .would have, no opportunity that night to encounter the three brothers.

A few days later her uncle, Roger Drake, an eminent scientist, made a burlesque of a scientific address. That morning, the third brother, her uncle, Andrew, was found seated on the floor playing with tows. The three are ! terns , "I want to gauge what changes the amiably.

"What , of the third brother, the father of the youl.g lady?" "There you will find the greatest change, Sergeant." The attorney spoke hastily and in a more confiden- tial tone as if to make amends for his implied suggestion.
