I sat down and looked about me in
&bray despair. No words can de-
scribe the scene, unless we devote a
whole page to repeating the word
"dismal." Devastatibn always ap-
pears to be more complete of a morn -
Mg I have observed in my years of
experience. A plasterer's scaffolding
that looks fairly nobby at sunset is a
grim, unsightly skeleton at breakfast
time. A couple of joiners' horses, a
matrix or two, a pile of shavings and
s.'ome sawed-off blocks scattered over
the floor produce a matutinal concep-
tion of chaos that hangs over one like
a pall until his heethetie sense is
beaten into subjection by the ham.
niers, of a million demons in the guise
of carpenters. Morning in the midst
of repairs is an awful thing! I looked
despaired and then dictated a letter to
the Hazzards, urging them to come
at once with all their sweltering
friends!
I needed some one to make me for-
get.
At eleven o'clock, Poopendyke
brought me a note from the chate-
laine of the east wing. It had been
dropped into the courtyard from one
of the upper windows. The reading
of it transformed me into a stern,
relentless demon. She very calmly
announced that she had a headache
and couldn't think of being disturbed
that day and probably not the next.
My mind was made up in an in-
stant. I would riot be put off by a
headache, -which was doubtless as-
sumed for the occasion, -and I would
be master of my castle or know the
reason why, etc.
In the courtyard I found a score or
more of idle artisans, banished by the
onsweeping tourists and completely
forgotten by me in the excitement of
the hour. Commanding them to fetch
their files, saws, broad -axes and au-
gurs, I led the way to the mighty
doors that barred my entrance to the
other side. Utterly ignoring the
supplications of Conrad Schmick and
the ominous 'frowns of his two sons,
we set about filing off the padlocks
and chiselling through the wooden
panels. I stood over my toiling min-
ion.s and I venture to say that they,
never worked hardierer.,,,aster in
their lives. Ily.,elve o'clock we
had the great doors open isnd swept
on to the next obstruction.
At two o'clock the last door in the
east ante -chamber gave way before
our resolute advance and I stood vic-
torious and dusty in the little recess
at the top of the last stairway. Be-
yond the twentieth century portieres
of a thirteenth century doorway lay
the goal we sought. I hesitated brief-
ly before drawing them apart and
taking the final plunge. As a matter
of fact, I was beginning to feel a-
shamed of myself. Suppose that she
really had a headache! What an un-
couth, pusillanimous brute I -
Just then, even as my hand fell
upon the curtains, they were snatch-
ed aside and I found myself staring
into the vivid, uptilted face of the
lady who had defied me and would
continue to do so if my suddenly ac-
tive perceptions counted for anything.
I saw nothing but the dark, indig-
nant, imperious eyes. They fairly
withered me.
in some haste, attended by the
niost disheartening nervousness. I
tried to find my cap to remove it in
the presence of royalty. Unfortu-
nately I was obliged to release the
somewhat cumbersome* crowbar I had
been carrying about with me, and it
dropped with a sullen thwack upon
my toes. In moments of gravity I
am always doing something like that.

om my side shocked, 'I Ilan% miss it. We have

thairo, She looked at me soberly for; a
; tab es, cab- moment. There was something hurt
4 tw' uld have tails- and wistful in her dark eyea.

bulge with-- you for everything -down to the
; stands, pede.. sniallest trifie-when the time comes
, porcelains__ for me to leave this place. I have
kept strict account of-"
She turned away, with a beaten
droop of the proud little head, and
again I was shamed. Never have I
felt so grotesquely out of proportion
with myself as at that moment. My
stature -seemed to increase ,from an
even six feet to something like twelve
and my bulk became elephantine.' She
was so slender, so lissom, so weak,
and I so gargantuan, so gorilla -like,
so heavy-handedl And I had write
gaily up to crush her! What a fine
figitre of a man I wee!
She did not complete the sentence,
but walked slowly toward the win-
dow. I had a faint glimpse of a
dainty lace handkerchief fiercely
clutched in a little hand.
By nature I am chivalrous, even
gallant. You may have reason to
doubt it, but it is quite true, As I've
what you are going to do about it?"
I reflected. ' "I think if you don't
mind, I'll come in and sit doyen. That
was a deuce of a rap I got across the
toes. I am sure to be a ,great deal
more lenient and agreeable if I'm ask-
ed to come in and see you. Inci-
dentally, I thought I'd step up to
inquire how your headache is getting
en. Better, I hope?"
She turned her face away, e I su-
spected a smile.
"If you choose to bang your old
castle to pieces, in order to satisfy
a masculine curiosity„ Mr. Smart, I
have nothing more to say," she said,
facing me again -still ominously, to
my despair. Confound it all, L he
was such a slim, helpless little thing
-and all alone against a mob of
burly ruffians! I could have kicked
myself, but even that would have
been an aimless enterprise in view
of the fact that Poopendyke or any
of the others could have done it
more accurately than I and perhaps
with greater respect. "Will you be
good enougis to send your -your
army away, or do you prefer to linve
it on hand in case I should take it
into my head to attack you?"
"Take 'em away, Mr. Poopendyke,"
Icoinmanded hurriedly, I didn't mind
Poopendyke hearing what she said,
but it would be just like one of those
beggars to nnderstand English -and
also to misunderstand it. "And take
this beastly crowbar with you, too. It
has served its purpose nobly."
Poopendyke looked his disappoint-
ment, and I was compelled to repeat
the order. As they crowded down the
short, narrow stairway, I remarked
old Conrad and his two sons standing
over against the wall, three very sin-
ister figures. They remained motion-
less.
"I see, madam, that you do not dis-
miss your army," I said, blandly sar-
castic.
"Oh, you dear,old Conrad!" she
cried, catching sight of the hitherto
submerged Schmicks. The three of
them bobbed and scraped and grinned
from ear to ear. There could be no
mistaking the intensity of their joy.
"Don't look so sad, Conrad. I know
you are blameless. You poor old
dear!"
I have never seen any one who look-
ed less sad than Conrad Schmick. Or
could it be possible that he was cry-
ing instead of laughing? In either
case I could not afford to have him
doing it with such brazen discourtesy
to me, so I rather peremptorily or-
dered him below.
"I will attend to you presently, -
all, of you," said I. They did not
move. "Do you hear me?" I snap-
ped angrily. They looked stolidly at
the slim young lady.
She smiled, rather proudly, I
thought. "You may go, Conrad. I
shall not need you. Max, will you
fetch up another scuttle of coal?"
They took their orders from her!
It even seemed to me that Max mov-
ed swiftly, although it was doubtless
a hallucination on my part, brought
about by nervous excitement.
"By Jove!" I said, looking after my
trusty men servants as they descend-
ed. "I like this! Are they my serv-
ants or yours?"
"Oh, I suppose they are yours, Mr.
Smart," she said carelessly. "Will
you come in now, and make yourself
at home?"
"Perhaps I'd better wait for a day
or two," said I, wavering. "Your
headache, you know. I can wait just
as well as-"
"Oh, no. Since you've gone to all
she trouble I suppose you ought to
have something for your pains."
"Pains?" I murmured, and. I de-
clare to heaven I limped as I followed
her through the door into a tiny hall.
"You are a most unreasonable
man," she said, throwing open a
small door at the end of the hall. "I
am terribly disappointed in you. You
looked to be so nice and sensible and
amiable."
"Oh, I'm not such a nincompoop as
you might suspect, madam," said I,
testily, far from complimented. I dis-
like being called nice, and sometirngs
I think it a mistake to be sensible.
A sensible person never gets anything
out of life because he has to avaid
so much of it.
"And now Mr. Smart, will you be
kind enough to explain this incom-
prehensible proceeding on your part,"
she said, facing nie sternly.
But I was dumb. I stood Just In-
side the door of the most remarkable

What other car, at anywhere near its
price, even approximates the value of
the New 1923 Oakland? Visit the
Oakland salesroom and examine its
incomparable merit. Be unsparing in
your analysis. Cover it point by point
and your own sound judgment will
convince you that here is motor car
value without equal.
Note particularly its powerful, quiet,
flexible engine, so good that we guar-
antee its performance in writing for
15,000 miles. Mark the unusual roomi-
ness of its body; the comfort of its
deep -cushioned, genuine leather
seats. Scrutinize the sturdy chassis
construction -the deep frame, long,
buoyant springs, the size and strength
of every moving part., Observe the
beauty of its finish, its full crown
fenders, and dram type lamps.
Fortify the conviction you will inevit-
ably arrive at by questioning any of
the many thousands who now own
and drive this Six -44 model. They
will tell you, as they have voluntarily
told us, that they have found this
New Oakland a car of unwavering
dependability; Luultortable to ride in,
beautiful to look upon, and genuinely
economical to maintain.
Do these things and you will buy this
car, not upon our word, but because of
its own inherent high quality, quality
almost unbelievable in a car that is
sold at as law a price.
