IM and Calvin Kennedy were half-brothers; but beyond the family name, and the fact that both were bachelors, they had little in common. Jim was genial, expansive and improvident; Calvin a veritable Scrooge. Nevertheless, they lived together in the old family mansion’ atop a hill on the outskirts of Bardstown. One other thing they had in common—the famous Kennedy. sapphires. These were a “family tradition,” handed down from one generation to another. Back in Bart Kennedy's time, they'd been appraised at $300,000, but the brothers reckoned they must be worth double that now.

IM always needed money, spending: it freely on others as well as himself. Calvin, on the other hand, by cunning and sharp - practice, had amassed a sizeable fortune, mostly in real estate, His latest triumph was the grip he'd obtained on old Nathan Greenleaf’s home and farm, valued at about $75,000. It looked as though the property soon would pass into his grasping hands, Emily Greenleaf, who kept house for her widowed father, couldn't bear to think of his losing his farm and home, and had done her best to prevent it. Appeal to Calvin proving of no avail, she had turned to Jim. "The latter proceeded to remonstrate very forcibly with his halfbrother. But Calvin ‘was adamant.

HAT evening, on the Greenleaf front piazza, Jim duly made his report to Emily, and expressed his utter abhorrence of Calvin's cold-blooded attitude. He even offered to lend Emily what funds he had of his own, but she shook her head. It wouldn't be more than a drop in the bucket, as Jim himself realized. Following his first visit to the Greenleaf home, Jim took to dropping around pretty regularly. He and Emily would sit on:the piazza in the moonlight. And moonlight does things to folks. A day or two before the law was to take its cruel course, Jim, seated in his customary recker, with Emily at his side, suddenly leaned over, seized her hand, and held it tightly, while he stammered out his love for her~and asked her to become Mrs. James Kennedy. Jim ambled home that evening in jubilant mood over his success as a wooer, but sick at heart at the thought that Emily and her father would soon have to leave the home they loved. He again remonstrated with Calvin, and broke the news that he and Emily were engaged. 2 a8 » 8 Always knew you were was Calvin's com-

sponse. He sat smoking for a while. Then he cunningly: “Tell you what I'll do! Since you're so set on makin’ a jackass of yourself, I'm willin' to turn over to you all right and title to the Qreenleaf place. What say?” Jim nearly fell out of his chair. “What's that?” “I mean just what I said—only there’s one condition. You must surrender to me all claim on the Kennedy sapphires!” » » » O that was it. Jim was stunned. He hadn't believed even Calvin capable of such crafty bargaining. Why, the stones should easily be worth $200,000 today. Nevertheless, Jim agreed fo the proposition. The next day, the two Kennedys repaired to the Bardstown Trust Co., settled all legal formalities, and duly signed pajess. Jim transferring his Ye to the sapphires to Calvin, and receiving in return Calvin’s claim to the Greenleaf property. “Say, you're pretty slick, Calvin!” said Jim, with his slow smile. “Why, I was talkin’ to Ed Dole, the jeweler, and from what he tells me about the value of sapphires, you've skinned me out of pretty near $35,000! You ought to be able to afford a right nice weddin’ present for Em’ly!” Calvin chuckled. “I wasn’t figurin’ on givin’ her any at all. But if Ed Dole says the sapphires are worth one red cent over $200,000, I'll get the finest set of silverware in the shop and send it to Em'’ly. Let’s take the stones around to Ed’s right now.” The jeweler bent to his task, examining the stones with the greatest care, and saying not a word until he was done. Then, putting down his glass, he declared’ gravely. They" re worth about $18!” “What!” shrieked Calvin. “Too bad but—well, these stones are nothing more than very clever fakes. ‘Dunno how but, in- some way or other, you've been badly done!” ‘» 2 EJ ALVIN grasped the table edge A with trembling fingers. “Huh! Must’'ve been Uncle Barl that tampered with ’em! He was always a spendthrift—always in trouble! Reckin he must have cooked the thing up with’ your grandfather, Ed!
