That afternoon, Chet and Susan were seen by Bos'diek from his hardware hardware store as they came out of the hotel and put six more of the wooden boxes in the back of Chet's car. Chet climbed into the car. "I'll wait a couple of weeks," he told Susan, "before sending you those let: ters. It takes time to analyze and test clays. If 1 sent the letters right back, it would look fishy. You have my itinerary. If the old buzzard makes any moves, wire me." Susan promised. She waved as Chet drove away, then went hack into the hotel, singing cheerfully, During the days that followed, Bert; Bosdick, on orders from, his uncle, was in the hotel lobby every time the pm: ter brought mail from the postoffice. He watched to see if Susan got any mail. It was on Thursday that Eben Bos Sick arrived at a decision. It would be better to strike now, he decided, than to wait until the Morrison girl gqt-ocfeer-eSei'S; ■ He went over to the "hôtel and bought a cigar from Susan, "By the way, Miss Morrison," he said, trying to smile, "it seems a shame that you should have to pay taxes on that old swamp you was so unfortunate as to inherit. I'd be glad to take it off your hands. I'll give you a hundred dollars -for it," CHAPTER IX Susan strove to mask her inward elation. She looked at Eben Bodick suspiciously. "Why should you offer me a hundred hundred dollars for property so worthless that you were, glad to palm it off on my poor old uncle?" she asked him coldly. "Now look here, Miss, you've heard a lot of lyin' gossips talk. Your uncle wanted that swamp land. He begged me, as a favor, to exchange it for his worthless old farm. But I hate to see you have to pay out a hundred a year taxes on that land." "That is surprisingly generous, Mr. Bosdick, but my swamp land is not for sale." "Girls don't know about such things , though," he said. I'm making you a good offer." "Maybe so," said Susan, "but my swamp land is not for sale." "You're being very foolish,", Eben snapped off angrily, and stalked out of the hotel, Susan wired to Chet, informing him of the offer. "Hooked. Keep it up," was the re- ;>!y. he wired back. Two days later, Bosdick dropped in to the hotel to get another cigar. Sheriff Johnson and Doc Waldo were In the lobby playing checkers. Bos lick told Susan that he had been thinking tilings over and could offer her two hundred for the swamp. Susan raised her voice so that the sheriff and Doc could hear. "Look here, Mr. Bosdick," she said 'I'm an honest girl, I know that that swamp land is absolutely worthless. That's why I couldn't possibly accept the two hundred you, offer me!" Doc Waldo and the sheriff forgot their game and stared at Susan and Bosdick. REUNION of BRITISH FAMILIES We are prepared to advance passage money (without in- ' terest or other charges) to.

TV' ■'« ÉÉ8É 'A , ««Husk -- bush never discuss privai privai e hwsili' out loud," Bosdick warnedln 1 low voice. "There's -'«thing private about it, Mr. Bosdick/ Susan said louder than ' ever. "That swamp isn't worth ten cents an acre, and anyone who pays ic eleven cents an acre for it is cheated. The swamp is not for sale, is that plain enough?" "Think it over. You'll change your mind," Bosdick said, and went out hastily. Sheriff Johnson and Doc Waldo came over to Susan at once, 'T vo heard rumour about- that - bein' valuable pottery clay, Miss Morrison," the sheriff said. "If old Bosdick offers you two hundred tor tile swamp, it's worth at least two thousand." "Thanks -- but I think you're mistaken. mistaken. I told Mr. Bosdick what I believe believe to be the truth -- that: tho land ts worthless. If he insists on paying a lot for it, no one can say that 1 cheated him." "Hah -- heh! Nobody's ever gdin' to cheat old Bosdick," Doc Waldo chuckled. Meanwhile, Chet had finished his trip and- had arrived back in New York. He decided he would not give Sithwick tho satisfaction of knowing that Susan had inherited only a very worthless swamp. Arriving at the office, he brought in the six boxes of olay that be had carried with him, and stuck them iii a corner. 'T saw Miss Morrison, boss," he said. "And what do you think! There is a possibility that she may he rich." "What's that?" Sithjwick growled "She owns a thousand acres of a swamp that may contain some very fine pottery clay. I've sent out samples to be analyzed." He showed the remaining samples to Sithwick, who knew all about finished finished crockery but nothing about the raw materials. He examined the clay with awe. "Miss Morrison deserves a break," said Chet, "and, if that clay proves.to be fine crockery clay her land should be worth a fortune." "Well, maybe," said Sithwick, "But chances are it, isn't, worth a cent. You keep your mind ' on Sithwick Crockery Hadley" "Sure, sure!" Chet knew, however, that Sithwick was considerably impressed. He never guessed, though, that when he had left, Sithwick opened, a box of the clay again and examined it, smelled it, rubbed it between his fingers. As he did so, he was muttering, muttering, "A thousand acres -- and 1 let it slip through my fingers." Chet had a friend print letterheads vnd envelopes bearing names and fake addresses of crockery manufacturera manufacturera that never existed. Then he did himself proud, typing reports on Susan's clay. One letter was to the effect that the clay was so promising that the company would send an expert to look the land over: "We will send our expert, and if there is a sufficient area, a hundred or more acres, we will offer you. five thousand dollars for an option on it." When Susan received this and the other letters, she went to see Lawyer Peaslee and told him everything that there was to tell. She wanted to make sure that she and Chet ran no danger of getting into trouble. Peaslee laughed uproariously over the scheme they had concocted. "You are safe," the said. "Just keep on insisting to Bosdick that the land is worthless. I'll back you. Old Bosdick Bosdick can't lay a finger on you." Susan laid her plans carefully. She sat behind the hotel desk, reading a novel. As a bookmark, she used the letter offering five thousand dollars for an option on the swamp, When- Bert Bosdick came in for cigarettes, she left, this letter sticking sticking out of the book so that the heading heading could be seen. She gave Bert his cigarettes, left, the hook on the counter, counter, and went into the office to see Mrs:.
