ANOTHER PROSPECT

"Hullo. Bill. You're looking for Lqnax. I suppose? Look here. if you want to do a good turn. hurry into the drawing room and tell him the Cabinet have called an immediate meeting. or get him away somehow. It's really not ‘fair to let the poor devil make an ass of himself all for some silly girl's prank." "I've not come for Codders." said Bill. "Didn't, know he was here. It's Bundle I want to see. Is she any- where about?" "You can't see her." Caterham. "Not just now, rate. George is with her." "Wcll-wliat docs it matter?" "I think it does rather." said Lord Caterham. "He's probably spluttering LllOlTlbly at this minute. and we

mustn't do anything to make it worse for him." ' ~ "But vzhat is he saying?" "Heaven knows." said Lord Cater- ham. “A lot of damned nonsense. anyway. Never say too much. that was always my motto. Grab the girl's hand and let events take their course." Bill stared at him. "But look licrc. sir. I'm in a hurry. I must talk to Bundle—" "Well. I don't suppose you'll have to wait long. must confess I'm rather glad to have you here with me-I suppose l/imax will insist on coming back and talking to me when it's all over." "When what's all over? What is Louiax supposed to be doing?" "Hush." said Lord Caterliain. "He's proposing." "Proposing? Proposing what?" “Afarriage. To Bundle. Don't ask ‘me why. I suppose he's come to what .tlicy call the dangerous age. I can't ‘explain it any other vvn._\'." '

Proposing to Bundle? The-dirty swine! At his age!"

Bill's face grew crimson.

"He says he's in the prime of life." said Lord Caterham cautiously.

"He? Why. he's decrepit-senile! I-—" Bill positively choked,

"Not at. all." said Lord Catcrham

coldly. "He's five year young than I am." '

"Of all the damned cheek! coddc-I and Bundle! A girl like Bundle! You oughtrrt to have allowed it."

"I never interfere." said Lord Cater- hum.

"You ought to have told him what you thought of him."

"Unfortunately modern civilization rules that out," said Lord Caterham regretfully. "In the Stone Age now- but. dear me. I suppose even then I shouldn't be able to do lt-belng a small man."

“Bundle! Bundle! Why. I've never dared to ask Bundle to marry me because I knew she'd only laugh. And George-s. disgusting wind-bag. an unscrupulous. hypocritical old hot-air merchant-a foul. poisonous self ad- vertlser—"

"Go on." said Lu-d Catcrhzun. "I'm enjoying this."

"My God!" said Bill simply and with feeling. “Look here, I must be off."

TO SEE THESIGER

"No. no. don't go. I'd much rather you stayed. Besides. you want to sec Bundle."

"Not now. This has driven every- thing else out of my head. You don't know where Jimmy Thesigcr is by any chance? I lwllcvc he was staying ;witli the Cootcs. Is he there still?"

"I think he went buck to town yes- terday. Bundle and Loraine were ovcr there on Saturday. If you'll only waltr-J’

But Bill shook his head energetic- ally and rushed from the room. Lord Caterham tiptoed out into the hall seized a hat and made a hurried exit by the side door. In the dis- tance he observed Bill streaking down the drive in his car.

"That young man will have an acci- dent." he thought.

Bill. however. reached London with- l out. any mischance. and proceeded to ipark his car in st. James‘ Square. Then lie sought out Jimml’ Tlieslgefs rooms. Jimmy was at home.

"Hullo Bill. I say. matter? You don't look your usual i bright little self.” | "I'm worried," said Bill. "I was . ivorried anyway. and then something ‘else turned up and gave me a jolt."

"Oh!" said Jimmy. "How lucid. , What's it all about? Can I do any-

thing?" Bill did not reply". He sat, staring i at the carpet and looking so puzzled and uncomfortable that‘. Jimmy felt‘ his, curoslty aroused. '

“Has anything very extraordinary occurred. William?" he said gently.

"Something damned odd. I can't make head or tail of it."

The Seven Dials business?"

"Yes-the Seven Dials business. l got a letter this morning."

i "A letter? What sort of a letter?" ! "A letter from Ronny Devcrcaux‘ executors."

"Good Lord! After all this time."

“It seems he left instructions. If he was to dic suddenly’. a certain scal- ed envelope was to be sent to mc ex- actly a fortnight after his death."

"And they've sent ft. to you?"

“Yesﬂ

"You've opened it?‘ '.

"Yes."

"Wcll—what did it say?"

Bill turned a glance upon him. such a strange and uncertain one that Jimmy was startled.

A CERTAIN LETTER

He poured out a stiff whiskey and soda and brought it over to Bill. who took it obedlently. His face stllLbore the same dazed expression.

“It's what's in the letter." he said. "I simply can't believe it. that's all." "Oh. nonsense." snld Jimmy. "You fmust, get into the habit of believing ‘six impossible things before break- ifast. I do it regularly. Now then. i let's hear all about it. Walt a min- I ute." He went outside.
