At any moment his lordship was liable to send for him to ask the ' time or day or some equally important question. And this brings us to the hour when Saunders unfolded his star- tling solution to the problem that con- ; fronted them all. i First he confided in Britt soberly.‘ sagely and in perfect good faith. Britt was bowled over. He stared at Saun- : ders and gasped. Nearly two minutes '| elapsed before he could find words to reply. which proves conclusively that it must have been something of a _ shock to him. When at last he did‘ “ -_- â€"â€"nn expressnhiwmself. however. there was nothing that could have been left un- i saidâ€"absolutely nothing. He went so The Englishman was stubborn. They had it back and forth, from legal and other points of view, and finally 5 Britt gave in to his colleague. reserv- ing the right to laugh when it was all over. Saunders. with a determina- '- tion that surprised even himself. called for a conference of all parties in a “’yckholme’s study at 4 o’clock. l “Now, what’s it all about, Saun- ders?” demanded Deppingham. with a wide yawn. Saunders looked hurt. | “It is high time we were discussing v. some way out of our difficulties.” he6 said. “But five weeks remain before our stay is over. The apparent im-' possibility of marriage between Lady , Deppingham and Mr. Browne natural- ; ly throws our joint cause into jeop- ardy. There would be no controversy, . :ot course, if the terms of the will‘ . could be carried out in that respect. The islanders understand our position ' and seem secure in their rights. They s imagine that they have us beaten on | the face of things. Now. the thing for ; us to do is to get married.” .u .V wv He can; “to” this conclusion with startling abruptness. Four of his hear- ers stared at him in blank astonish- meat. “Get married?” mnrmurud first one, then another. Britt was grinning broadly. “Certainly not!” snappw Saunders. “Oh, by Jove!” exclaixmd Depping- ham, relieved. “I see. You mean you contemplate getting married. 1 con- gratulate you. You gave me quite a ‘hock, Sauna”â€" - AI. _ ____‘_ V'â€" “I don‘t mean anything of the sort. my lord," said Saunders, gettihg very red in the face. Miss Pelham looked up from her‘ notebook quickly. He winked at her, and her ladyship saw him do it. “I mean that it is high time that Lady Depplngham and Mr. Browne were getting married. We haven’t much time to spare. It”â€" “Open the window and give some air,” said Britt coolly. “'See here, Saunders, what the devil is the matter with you?" roared Dep- pingham. “Good Lord!” gasped Bobby Browne. “You are crazy, after all.” “My lord. I am here to act as your legal adviser," said Saunders, with dig- nity. “May I be permitted to pro- ceed '2” “Please let him explain.” put in Mrs. Browne. whose sense of humor was strongly attracted by this time. “If there is anything more to be learned concerning matrimony I’d like to know it.” “Rather queer legal advice, ’pon my word.” “Yes, Mr. Saunders. you may pro- ceed," said Lady Agnes, passing .a hand over her bewildered eyes. "Thank you. my lady. Well, here it Is .in a nutshell: l have not spoken of it before, but you and Mr. Browne can very easily comply with the provisions of the win. You can be married at any time. Now, I”â€" . “'And where do I come in?" demand« ed Deppingham sarcastically. _ “Yes. and I?" added Mrs. Browne. “Yor forget us, Mr. Saunders.” “I include Mrs. Browne.” amended Deppingham. “Are we to be assas- sinated? By Jove, clever idea of yours, Saunders! Simplifies matters tremen- dously." “I bear no objection from the heirs," remarked Saunders meaningly, where- upon Lady Agnes and Bobby came out of their stupor and protested vigor- ously. a “)1qu Pelham’?’ said Britt, breaking in sharply, “I trust you are getting all of this down. I wish to warn you. ladies and gentlemen, that I expect to overthrow the will on the ground that there is insanity on both sides.

Saunders went completely under at that M“O_n the other band,” he hastened to remark, “I’m sure it would be quite legal if you did live to”â€" ":Sbop - him, for heaven’s sake!" screamed Lady Agnes, bursting into uncontrollable laughter. “Stop him? Why ‘2" demanded her husband. suddenly seeing what he re- garded as a rare joke. “Let’s hear him out. By Jove, there’s more to it than I thought. Go on, Saunders.” “Of course if you are going to be nasty about it”â€" began Saunders in a butt. “I can’t see anything nasty about it,” said Browne. “1’" admit that our wife and our husband may decide to be stubborn and unreasonable, but it sounds rather attractive to me.” “Robert!" from his wife. “He’s only joking. Mrs. Browne,”ex- piained Deppingham magnanlmously. “Now, let me understand you, Saun- ders. You say they can be married according to the customsâ€"which, I take it, are the lawsâ€"of the islanders. Your plan provides Browne with two charming wives and gives me but one. There’s nothing to compel Mrs. Browne to marry me." “But. my Ion." said Saunders. ”doesn’t the plan give Lady Depping- ham two husbands? It’s quite a fair division.” "It would make Lord Depplngbam my husband-in-law, I imagine.” said Drusilla quaintly. “I've always had a horror of busbands-in-law.” “And you would be my wife-ln-law," supplemented Lady Agnes. “How in- toresting!" ”Saunders," said Depplngham sober- ly. “I must oppose your plan. It’s quite unfair to two innocent and unlin- volved parties. What have we done that we should be exempt from polyg- amy '2" “You are not exempt!" exclaimed the harassed solicitor. “You are merely not obliged to; that’s all. You can do as you Choose about it. I’m sure. I’m sorry my plan causes so much levity. lt ls meant for the good of our cause. The will doesn't say how many wives .\lr. Browne shall have. It simply says that Agnes Ruthven shall be his wife. He isn’t restricted, you know. He can be a polygamist if he likes.” “‘i‘Y-ou’re right"- .éald Britt. “The will doesn’t specify. But. my dear Saun- ders. you are overlooking your own ollent in this plan." “1 don’t quite understand. Mr. Britt.” “As I understand the laws on this islandâ€"the church laws. at leastâ€"a man can have as many wives as he likes. Well. that’gfl all very well for Mr. “Do you mean that for me. Lord Depplngham?” demanded Miss Pelham sharply. She glared at him and then slammed her notebook on the table. “You can josh'Mr. Saunders, but you can’t josh me. I’m sick of this job. Get somebody else to do your work after this. I’m through." “Oh!" exclaimed every one. in a panic. It took nearly ten minutes to pat-lfy the milled stenographer. “Perhaps we could arrange for a di- vorce all round " cried Saunders. sud- denly inspired. “On what grounds.” laughed Browne. “Give me time. ” said the lawyer. “It’s barely possible that there is no divorce law in Japat. ” remarked Britt. enjoying his confrere’ s misery. “Are you quite sure?" .- “Reasouably. If there was such a law I’ll bet my head two-thirds of the men in Aratat would be getting rid of their wives before night.” “I’m tired,” said Lady Depplngham suddenly.

Lord Depplngham’s eyes glowed with pride in his charming wife as he fol- lowed with the heartsick Drusilla. “I would have won them over it Britt had not interfered." almost she gently waved her handkerchief as it in greeting to some one far oi! in the gloaming. The action was a mis- chievous one, no doubt, and it had its consequencesâ€"rather sudden and star- tling, if the observers were to judge‘ by her subsequent movements. She lowered the glass instantly. There was a quick catch in her breath, as it a laugh had been checked; confusion swept over her, and she drew back into the shadows as a guilty child might have done. They distinctly heard her murmur as she crossed the flags and disappeared through the Fiench window without seeing them: “Oh, dear, what a crazy thing to do!” Genevra, peering through the glasses, had discovered the figure of Chase on the bungalow porch.
