"I'd like to res you a minuth, Beatumont," went on Les, disregard- ing her.

"Nothing would give me яrenter pleasure," Paul replied militugly, He turned to Elm.""Evidently our Yank is looking for further punish-

"Oh, yeah? Let's men what you can do without your gang behind you," Leo said.

With thin, he swung at Paul. They exchanged foal, florco blows for a few noconda. Buddenly the door burst open. Wavertroo ruched in. Ho waved his hands frantically as he lied to stop the battle.

"Will that bo all, air?"

"Not on your life," Les muid an- arily. "For a fow guys I have in mind, this day is just beginning."

Molly was no balter able to un. derstand Paula altitude. When they were with one another, how- over, thoto was fitto mention of the atrained relationship existing balween her brother and Leo.

Early one morning Leo took Mol ly out on the river in a rowboat. As ho started off he looked at her for a minute speechinsaly,

"I suppose you know you're beau- thui," he said finally, in a strangely gentle volco.

"Why, I've hardly gut the sleep mut of my eyes," sho protested, laughing.
