After West jumped all might in the vital trick. the way to four hearts (in a desper ate but futile attempt to shut out the opponents) there was of no need for East to mention his clubs.

What East rently hoped for, of course, was diamond opening which would be able to ruff. West, however, could not quite visu- alize that situation. He did conclude that there was no great future in the heart lead, since his extreme length in the sult made it unlikely!

"Well-i-just little matter of business we simply had to clear. up to-day," Patterson answered with the same air of preoccupation. "If you'll excuse me, Mr Forbes-I have a phone call to make."

THE minule Homer Patterson was out of sight C. Roger Forbes walked to the door of Van Dyke's room with the air of a man who had thought long and hard and arrived at a very definite conclt- sion.

About this-motor-of-Daly's "Van Dyke," he said ta he entered the room. "I wonder if I might look it over. Purely, professional inter- -est, you know."

Patterson shrugged his shoulders. "Let me see that cheque," he said, turning to his brother,

"You're perfectly satisfied with your deal, Forbes?.. This motor is a good thing?' he said.

"I'm perfectly satisfled-and I guess you know how good a thing this motor is," Forbes answered triumphantly.

"Well, Schuyler," said Patterson addressing his brother. "This check will pay for your Come along.'

How in the world Lid you expect me to swallow the story that Mr Van Dyke was in- sane? I happen to know Homer Patterson and I know he doesn't go 'round chasing lunatics."".

Once more both Duley and Gor- don stood aghast. Dulcy was the Arst to speak.

"But Mr Van Dyke, must have been crazy," she said. "He paid Gordon len thousand dollars and besides gave him a twenty-one per- ceni royalty."

"Twenty-one percent! That's in- possible!" exetaimed Forbes wide- nyed,

"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 squeeze me out now!" Forbes fum- ed. "If Van Eyke's crazy then I'm crazy too. I'll pay the twenty- one perécat."

Gordon continued to look like a inan in a trance as Forbes left him and Duley on a garden seat near the dock.

------He saw Henry-come-up from the lake leading Sneezy by the hand. "Don't tell nobody we been rowin' 'round in circles they think we're nuts," he heard Henry say. "But I guess we did all right by keepin outta the way." This mys- terious speech didn't help to clear his mind.

"Look here, Van Dyke," Forbes rald finally. "You're in no position to manufacture these motors. I 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."
