As for having him ag our house guest--it's impossible!" Gay hurried into the room, to find her mother facing Van Gordon. "Ah-h, Miss Needham, Just in time to 'convince your mother that our friend, Marvin Ploame, should be your house guest for the next few days." "He will not be," Gay answered. "He will," Van Gordon corrected. __He took from his pocket the con- 7 tract that Gay and Mrs. Needham had signed with him. . .. And we agree to abide by the decisions of Bernal Van Gordon until the end of this contract, one year from the above date," he read, He pocketed the document, "Mr. Ploame will arrive Saturday." : After he had gone, Gay and her mother stared at each other, stun- ned by the realization of what they had let themselves in for. "Telephone for Miss Gay," a maid announced, Gay picked up an extension phone. "This is Mary Milbraum, Gay dear. We've taken a house here for a few - months; I wish you'd come over and seg me," Gay had continued her friendship "with Mary Milbraum despite the 'dis. approval of many. Mary was real, genuine--a °* sympathetic confidante. Of all Gay's friends, only Mary knew about Van Gordon and his bureau. Mary's voice was continuing: "Come right away, Gay. I've important news. I've just learned about a society fued --Sinclair Ploame, see?" 'I'll be right over." down the address. 'When Gay reached the Milbraum home, she was ushered into Mary's Gay jotted ___sitting room, Conley saw Rod just before we left town," Mary told her, with a smile. "He sald to tell you he'd be out real goon," Then her face sobered. "The Milbraums have been doing a bit of detective work, looking, up the his- tory of the old Sinclair-Ploame feud, which Conley just happened to re- member. We're both worried about Van Gordon and figure he'd use any- thing to further his interests. "When the feud started, many years 'ago, the Ploames were newly rich and trying to push their way into society. The Sinclairs, powerful socially, hated the Ploames because -the latter had managed to get a big slice of the Sin- clair Copper Corporation stock. Rod- ney's mother, who was New York's leading young matron, made life pret- ty miserable for Henrietta Ploame, Marvin's mother. _ "When the Duke of Brisbols visited New York, he was invited to a big party at the Ploame house on a cer- tain date.

Of course, she got the Duke, and practically everybody else; "It was a telling blow, The Ploames packed up and went to Europe. They have been in the international ¢rowd ever since, Naturally, there's nothing a Ploame wouldn't do now to injure a Sinclair. And their money has shrunk.'s "But I don't just see in what way Van Gordon can make use of that: feud," Gay mused. Then she told Mary of his recent visit. "Marvin Ploame will be here Saturday -- that's tomorrow. W-what can I do about it?" Conley was called in to give his ad- vice, 3 "I'm afraid," he said ruefully, 'there's nothing to do but play a watchful game." CHAPTER VIII At eleven o'clock the next morning, Saturday, the sound of a car on the front drive attracted Gay. Could it be Marvin Ploame this early? She glanced out the window. It was Rodney! -But----Irene was with him. He|was helping her out of his car. Gay hurried to the door them. Rodney, ahead of Irene, took both her hands. "Darling!" he whispered. Irene came up then, "We've invit- ed ourselves to stay for a few days," she drawled. "Fed up with New York. Got room for us, Gay?"' "To the rafters!" Gay laughed. The way Rodney had said, "Darling!" Irene didn't matter. Just then, there was the sound of another car. Marvin Ploame's green racer, and Marvin himself leaping out. : "Hi, honey !'"he greeted Gay. "Sweet of you to ask me out this week-end," Then he look¢d at Rodney, eyes nar- rowing a little. "Ol' man gloom him- self! Cheer up, my. lad. Darkest be- fore dawn. Anybody got a drink?" Gay's happiness vanished as swift- ly as it had come, Rodney and Mar- vin Ploame, Here together! And Ploame's 'misleading words, "Sweet of you to ask me out..." A Quiet Wedding After the guests had gone to their rooms, Gay walked out through the flower garden to a secluded spot in the grape arbor. Sitting there in the shade, with the cheerful chirp of birds and the lazy drone of bees in her ears, tears filled her eyes, Everything was 80 wrong! - "Gay!" She jumped up. "Rodney!" "Honey, you haven't told me yet-- aren't you glad lo see me?" "So glad I. He was drawing her jato his arms --kissing her . , "Rodney . .."" Her arms were about his neck, cliiiging with the despera- tion of wanting to tell him many things, but not daring. "I've glorious news," he said. "I would have been here before, but had to make the Mater see. And I did. She hgs consented." "Consented?" Gay trembled, "To our marriage." Rodney slipped a huge solitaire on her finger, "You can't say no. Let's be married soon!" "A quiet wedding in the . Little Church Around the Corner," Gay an- swered dreamily. "Conley and Mary will go with us."

"C" Was Discovered When Nobel Prize Winner An- alyzed Overseasoned Dish Serv- ed to Him By His Wife. When Prof. Albert Von .Szent- Gyorgyl's wife served him a dish he couldn't eat, he analyzed it and .dis- covered something he had been seek- ing a long time--an- economical meth. od of producing ascorbic acid, vita- min "cr to the uninitiated. The 'dish, Albert Szekely of Szeged, Hungary's second largest city, dis. closed in an interview at Montreal last week, was highly flavored with paprika, too highly flavored, in fact. Széekely, president of the Hungarian Paprika Export Company,.was there with Canadian and United States' or- ders for 7,000,000 pounds of the spice, Announced 'Isolation In 1934 "Prof. Von Sgzent-Gyorgyl of the Szeged," explained Szekely, "first. outlined his identifica. tion and {solation of vitamin "GC" be. fore the British Association for the Advancement of Science at Aberdeen in 1934, "The professor. 'had noticed the re- lation between thé sgcurvy-preventing propensities of vegetables and fruits- on the one hand and the adrenal glands of man and animals on the other, Followed Teall to Chicago.

"One day his wife served him a dish go highly flavored with the spice (paprika), he could not eat it. He took it to his laboratory instead and from it produced, of al things, vitamin 'C'. What is more, its production from 'capsicum anuum' (Hungarian pap- rika) is cheap and efficient. It can be readily administered intravenously and is useful in curing puerpural hem- 'orrhages; nephritis, 'certain non-in- heritable fornfs' of haemophilia, 'pyor- rhea: and Addison's disease."

And it 1s the women too, she added, who share and fully understand the modern ideology which loyalist Spain is defending.
