out of sight C. Roger Forbes walked, to the door of Van Dyke's room with the air of a man who lad thought long and hard and arrived at a very dednite conclu- slon,
there are other times like THE minute Homer Patterson was now when I'm sure Mrs Forbes was making the most of wonderful op portunity. "Why did you let Mr Van Dyke steal that motor from right out under your nose?" She'd heard Van Dyke make his dire prediction of ruin for the entire Forbes family--and she may have been thinking, too, of the night before when her hus- band had had some biting things to say to her.
In the living room the grandiloquent purchaser of Gordon Daly's brain child had just left him and Dulcy, with another of his strange marks.

"Er-please forgive me,' he said. I'm Homer Patter son, I'm looking for Miss Ward."
"That's me," said Duley.
"Oh, I see. Tell me, Miss Ward, do you have a guest by the name of Schuyler Van Dyko?" the newcomer asked. "Yes," Dulcy answered,

Dulcy and Gordon stared hopelessly at each other. They had tumbled out of the clouds!
Skilful wheedling on Homer Patterson's part won his brother's promise to leave the Ward lodge quietly and return at once to New York. He was reluctant to go, he said; because of the big deal he had pending.

Patterson shrugged his shoulders. "Let ine ste that, cheque," he said, turning to his brother,

"You're perfectly satisfied, with your deal, Furbes?... This motor is a good thing?' he said.
"I'm perfectly satisfed-and I guess you know how good a thing this motor is." Forbes nuswered triumphantly.
"Well, Schuyler," said Patterson addressing his brother. "This check will pay for your plane. Come along."

"My dear Miss Ward," he said when he met Duley and Gordon a few minutes Inter. "I just want you to know that all your trickery has been of no
no avail. I've just bought Mr Van Dyke's option on Mr Daly's motor. You ought to know better than match wits with a man who has been in bust- ness all his life. How in the world did you expect me to swallow the story that Mr Van Dyke was in- Fane? I happen to know Hamer Patterson and I know he doesn't go 'round chasing lunatles."
Once more both Duley and Gor- don stood aghast. Dulcy was the first to speak.
"But Mr Van Dyke must have been crazy," she said. "He paid Gordon ten thousand dollars and besides gave him a twenty-one per- cent royalty"
"Twenty-one percent! That's Im- possible!" exclaimed Forbes wide- royed,
"Oh, no, it isn't! I remember-- because twenty-one is my lucky number," Dulcy replied with a sin- cerity that made Gordon marvel.
"That's all right, Mr Forbes," he interjected. "You don't have to-"
"Oh, no you don't. You can't squeezę me out now!" Forbes fum- ed. " Van Dyke's crazy- then I'm crazy too. I'll pay the twenty- une percent."
Gordon continued to look like a man in a trance as Forbes left him and Dulcy on a garden seat near the dock.

"Remarkable! I con't understand what . Remarkable!" he kept saying more to himself than to his Pourpanion who stood by, interest- ed mainly in "the breeze."
"Look here, Van Dyke," Forbes sald finally. "You're in no position to manufacture these motors. It means equipping a plant, costly ex- periments, and lots of things. With all your other interests, this probably isn't of any great im- portance to you. I'll give you a profit of five thousand dollars on your option."
"Do I look like a fool?" exclaim- ed Van Dyke indignantly. "This thing's worth millions." As he remembered It, these were the exact words 'Duler had used,

"You're too late, Mr Patterson," Forbes cried exultantly, "I've just bought your principal's interest In the Gordon Daly motor!"

Finally, the light seemed to break. He took Duley's hand. "I see It all now, darling." he said. "After everything else failed you told Forbes Van Dyke was crazy so that when he saw Patterson here he'd think we were trying to put something over on him--which is exactly what happened. That was, a great bit of thinking, dear."
"But, Gordon, I didn'" was Dulcy's completely befuddled aus-
