"Probably you would re- member me by my Ampton name Keith?" Will Everett gasped! His al ready florid face turned scarlet! After dinner Dick led his guest into the magnificent library. Then he excused himself and went in search of his wife. "Who is this fellow, anyway, Jewel? Is he a friend of yours?
