CHAPTER Tl.
Ned Cornet kept well within the
speed laws on his way back to his
father's beautiful home on Queen
Anne Hill. He was none too well
pleased with himself and his thoughts
were busy, There would be sotno sort
of a scene with Godfrey Cornet, the
gray man whose self -amassed wealth
would ultimately settle for the dant
ages to the "jitney" and the affront to
the municipality—perhaps only a
frown, a moment's coldness about the
lips, but a scene nevertheless.
No one could. look at Godfrey Cor-
net and doubt that be was the veteran
of many wars. The battles he had
fought had been those of economic
stress, but they had scarred him none
the less.
Every one of his fine features told
the same story. His mouth was
hard and grim, but it could smile with
the kindest, most boyish pleasure on
occasion. His nose was like an eagle's
beak, his face was lean with never a
sagging muscle, his eyes, coal black,
had each bright points as of blades of
steel. People always wondered at his
