CHAPTER XXtX.
Nathalie had fled back lo her
suite and locked herself behind,
the steel door which guarded the
entranve to it when Ferris who
had not known that she had
looked down and seen him,
.glanced warily to the top of the
siairs where she had been and
said to SU'fano;
"Any objection to taking me in
to the dining room with you,. Cap
tain? I could do with a bile of
breakfast."
"Absolutely not. Charmed to sit
and chat with you a bit. As I've
said, I've learned the name of the
lawyer you're so keen to know.
Stefano was entirely ready to com
municate Sloan's name. By the
lime Ferris saw Sloan. Sloan
would he "in the It now" through
Monty Delaine, and Nathalie's in
terests entirely safe. Ferris could
have the name anil welcome af
ter he had paid Stefano ten thou
sand dollars for it.
"I heard you say It," Ferris in
formed him at? he walked into (he
high ceilinged room into which
Stefano directed him. He had the
air of entire proprietorship and ad
dressed Stefano's butler as though
there was no question of the au
thority he had.
"liacon and eggs, Niccoto. And
make it snappy Wop. And ihf-n
get your crew the hell out of here.
But you stick around."
"1 say what's this?" demanded
Stefano sharply.- "Who told you
the man's name or agreed that
you could give him orders?" 1
Ferris looked at. him craftily
and then laughed in his face.
"He took them, didn't h"? I
guess that's the answer. Who do
you think hand picked the crew
tlial's been working for you?
"And .there they go out. On their
way.
"So now I guess we can get
down to talking business," ob
served Ferris, while the butler,
who hail brought bis breakfast,
walked to the end of ihe room but
didn't vo out of it. "You've found
out a lawyer's name. And I'm to
slip you ten grand for it. Is that
the plav as you figure it's coming
off?"
"To a hair," replied Stefano, and
looked him quietly between the
eyes. "You're to pay it and I'm lo
receive it. When I tell you the
lawyer's name, but not before."
Ferris looked at him with hate.
"Hut you t h re w a wine party
last night, didn't you? Ik' that sup
posed to go into the expense ac
counl?" i
"Certainly not. That was a
friend's generosity. Kvery hot lie
of it gratis. No. that won't be
tabulated in Ihe account."
"Cm gbd to hear it," retorted
Ferris calmly. "So your friend's
generous, is he? He didn't size up
like a veo hi; hearted guy tome.
But I guess as a business man he
knows His onions."
"Who the devil are you talking
about?" demanded Stefano, won
dering suddenly if Ferris knew
Monty was the donor of the cham
pagne. "Found. I ain't wrong, am I? I
guess 1 know when I've been sold
out and double crossed. What
about it?"
'pound?" and Stefano looked at
him disgustedly and wearily, "1
never saw Found but once. The
day I signed a lease with him. Yes
I did, ioo. Once afterward when 1
j spoke to him about, an account

don't you, that I don't regard you
as worth lyhu to?"
"Yes." Ferris answered imper
iurbably. "I notice every little
thing. My dockers watched you go
in and out that day."
"Oh I dare say. But not that I
care a curse." Stefano's tone was
careless and taunting for he was
losing patience very fast. "Who
else did they see there who was
specially interesting?"
Ferris sat gazing at him briefly,
his eyes hard as flints. Then he
salt) :
"She's upstairs!"
"Who's upstairs?"
Stefano's taunting manner did
not change as he put the question.
Hut as he spoke all interest left
him concernin? the ten thousand
dollars he had hoped to receive,
and he thought only of .Nathalie.
When Ferris spoke again he re
solved that, come what might, he
would not leave the house while
Ferris was in It or until he was
certain beyond perad venture that
Nathalie was securely out of it.
"Who's upstairs did you say.
Captain?" said Ferris presently,
his eyes drilling Stefano's hard.
"So you want the name and all
eh? Ail right. Nathalie Van
Slaiek's upstairs."
"Sure of it?" asked Stefano. as
though it was of no importance.
"Dead sure," announced Ferris.
"I suppose you'd like it if 1 took
a walk up."
"1 fancy H'd be just as well not
for you to attempt to." Stefano an
swered hftn at once. "I'm certain it
would In point of fad."
He meant only that if Ferris
made any attempt: to force himself
on Nathalie he would leap at him
and beat "him" to the floor. Hut Fer
ris misunderstood a!l men like
Stefano. He nodded:
"That's good enough for me. 1
ain't, trying it after iasl ni;ht. iiiH
I seen her with the make up off
even if 1 did nearly eat a bullet."
This meant nothing at. all to
Stefano. He had no idea in the
world that anyone had watched
Nathalie from a tree and that she
had been courageous enough to
shoot at him.
He got up hurriedly as Stefano
leaned back in bis chair and put
both hands into the pockets of his
motor coat.
"Keep 'em where they are. Cap
tain." said Ferris, shakiiy. "I'm on
my way out. Ami listen. give you
credit for something. You were a
clever felia when you had the
steel door put in and didn't slip
me no duplicate key. I ought to
have suspected then that you was
goin; to sell out to Pound but 1
was dumb. I think I'll take a walk
over to Brookville. So long."
As he left, Stefano saw the, eyes
of Niccolo, the spurious butler, an
Wor the eyes of Ferris in a secret
signal and it dawned on him that
Niccolo was still in the long room
on guard over him and certainly
armed. Niccolo's hands were in
easy sight with nothing in them,
so Sfefann said nothing to him un

under the wheels of his automobile,
A. If. Dixon 'of Rend, today .was
here after crossing successfully the
blizzard swept pass of the McKen

Dixon said he battled a blizzard
four hours atop the mountain. He
said he and his wife, who accom

their minds to spend the night in
the mountain blizzard when he
thought of the blankets.
out of the house. Then he said:
"Niccolo."
"Si, Signor."
"You were present one night'
Stefano reminded him pleasantly,
and in Italian, "right in this room
when a lady was diverted as she
watched me at target practice?"
"Si, Siguor," acknowledged Nic
colo, and remembered vividly the
night Stefano had shot at a candle
the full length of the house and
snuffed it out. A shiver went
through him.
"That same admirable weapon,"
Stefano assured him, "is in one of
the pockets of my motor coat
while we talk so agreeably. Which
pocket, Niccolo?"-
Stefano was not armed. Hut
Niccolo made a gesture of despair
and sat quietly in a chair with his
hands on the ariu3 of it and kept
them there.
Me did not alter their position
for two hours. Nor did Stefano
move at all until a midden half
muffled commotion somewhere in
the ground surrounding The Firs
