Big Business Young Duke of Norfolk Forms Company to Administer Estates London The Duke of Norfoll premier member of the British peer age who came of age last May, has followed the example recently given by so many heads of Britain s anclen landed families. He has formed a limited company for the adminlstra tion of hla estates. The nomina capital Is $250,000, and he is perman ent governing director and chairman The estates are estimated to be worth millions of pounds, though parts have been sold since the form- er duke died. Norfolk House, the duke's London residence, which serv- ed as a club for Canadian women dur- ing war work in London, was sold last year. Arundel Castle, the great re- sidence in Sussex, still possessing much of Its ancient feudal appear- ance, has been rented more than once by prominent visitors from the United States. From this castle the duke takes the oldest of his numerous titles Earl of Arundel, 1139. Tb e Duchy of Norfolk was not created until 1482. The pres- ent duke, who owns about 49,500 acres, succeeded the fifteenth duke in 1917, when ho was nine years of age. Between that time and his coming of age last year the estates were admin- istered by his UIK-IP.

The dog came nwirer, flien burst through the bushes, a huge black monster with fiery, blazing eyes. a large handkerchief from his coat, saturated the cloth with the pungent liquid. The dog came nearer, then burst through the bushes, a huge black mon- ster with fiery blazing eyes. It leaped upon Vilak. He crumpled under the impetus of its massive body. It sprang at his throat, but he caught its neck in his strong lingers and while its black body writhed violently and its ugly jaws struggled to reach his flesh, handkerchief against its thrust the moist nose. In a moment its si niggles began to lessen; it gave a convulsive gasp and lay stretched on the ground, breathing heavily. The others came up to look. Vilak brushed the mud off his clothes. "He won't bother anyone else for at least half an hour. I gave him a good dose of chloroform." The old man looked at the long fangs, white in the rays of Vilak's flashlight. "Er . . . are you sure you laven't killed him?" "I don't kill unless 1 have to. Not even a dog." They crawled through the gate in ;he fashion they had enterd. Vilak :ook a wax impression of the lock. They crossed the creek and climbed :he sharp slope to the lake above. Elise stooped to pull out her boot, i"hich hsd sunk deep into its muddy shore. "I don't see why I should want his jroperty even if it is mine," she said thoughtfully as she gazed out over the nisty expanse of water. "Why he | lives in that wretched spot is utterly I beyond me. There's far too much of this water above it. It's bad enough on my fazenda, being threatened every rainy season by the dam at Avilos, but in his house I'd be con- stantly afraid that one of these lakes would overflow and start trouble. The ground where his house is situated is so extremely low. The lakes probably aren't large enough to do much dam- age; nevertheless it wouldn't be pleas- ant if they broke through. I've been under its brilliant rays examined the tiny wound. He drew a breath of relief, then ex- tinguished the light. "It's all right. 1 thought it might be something else But if you value your life keep on that glove. Let's start walking again." They proceeded in single file a few hundred feet. Vilak again halted. "I'm fairly certain now we're being followed," he whispered. "You and Elise walk ahead and talk to each other as loudly as you lik*. The loud: j i the better. Keep talking. Have your pistol ready, Nanny, but don't shout unless 1 tell you." The old man and the girl moved obediently down tho path. Vilak crept into the brush and waiteu, listening in- tently. But he heard nothing. After a few moments he stepped out and re- joined the others. "I was certain something was there," he remarked. "It's quite possible my ears tricked me out here in the jungle where there are so many noises. Don't often do it, It hough." They reached the tree near the thorn thicket where Elise like the others, had tied her horse. She looked back at the black hole through which they had just come. "Weil, we got through therj without any trouble, after all," she said. "Your ears are playing tricks with you, aren't they, Vilak? You've been smoking too many of those Chinese cigarets. It's a won- der to me that your nerves haven't completely gone to pieces. I'd hear a great many things that didn't exist if I smoked even two of them." Vilake smiled and took out his fan- tastically carved cigaret case. "Per- haps that's a hint that you'd like one now?" She made an indignant ges- ture of refusal. "You, Nanny?" The old man rather timidly took out his own modest, mild-flavored pack- age. "Er, thank you very much. But ISSUE No. 7 '30 I think think I'd rather have my own.

As they reached the spot where the bridge crossed the river they saw the light of the torches at the railroad encampment, and upon Elise's expressing a wish to see it rode nearer. From the top of the embank- ment they could look down and see the laborers still at work pitching their camp, their black shadowy forms flit- ting about spectrally in the ruddy light of the torches and the fire. They were close enough to the en- campment to be clearly seen by those below; the handsome, white-linened Brazilian broken down town, which the driver told them had fifteen kilometers up the road and the powers of evil only knew when he would get into the city.

Recognizing Vilak and the chemist, he smiled and waved his hand cheerily. "You ride late tonight, ?enhors," he called out in his clear, robust voice. "Will you not come down and chat a little?" "No, thanks a lot!" Vilak called in response. "We're on our way to bed." "Ah, indeed you are most lucky," the engineer answered.
