incline looked at Thome In some
bewilderment. "I know nothing ol
that," he admitted. "Kane ranked
very well as an orthopedic surgeon.

Miss Chase would be right tax hla

stood up. "Cant I take you Into

"If tou win."
McLane turned with Thome and
walked toward the front door. Hla
car waa parked la the driveway
dose at hand, but It was not until
the two men were seated and the
car In motion that Thome voiced
his thoughts.
"A beautiful mansion. Doctor,'
he said, pointing to the house
Kleamuw white through the dark
neat. "A whlted sepulchre which
In the past 24 hours has witnessed
dastardly murder and seen Its
owner almost choked to death
now, has the last event any bear
ing on the first?"
"Ask me something easy.'
groaned McLane as he started the
engine. "Mrs. Wlnslow Informed
me that only she. Miss Chase, the
nurse and the servants were In
the house when Mr. Wlnslow was
taken ill and Lambert corroborat
ed her statement.
Miss Kline waited In the hall
until ahe heard McLane drive away
before returning to her room; from
there, after attending to several
minor matters, she went to Elsa
Chase.
"Young Mr. Wlnslow isnt In the
house," she said, laying her hand
on her patient's shoulder with
soothing gesture. "Lambert claims
he left Immediately after our talk
this afternoon."
Elsa's expression grew more
troubled. "I cannot understand It,1
she declared, and her lips trembled.
"Jack has never failed to see me
whenever he was here, no matter
how short the time. Are you sure,
Alice, he didn't come when I was
asleep?" As she nodded assent,
Elsa leaned back wearily and with
a sigh picked up ber book.
"Please dont start reading,
begged Miss Kline persuasively.
"You can do that after you are in
Bed."
"But ' I want to alt up longer."
objected Elsa, raising troubled eyes
to her: nurse s. "If I hear Jack
come, I can wheel myself Into the
music room. -But
Miss Kline shook her head.
"Lambert Js going to town for the
night, he Is watting now to help me
put you to bed.
"Let him go." with a touch of
angry Impatience. "I intend to sit
up and see Jack; you can elevate
this chair so that I can lie full
length on It."
"You won't be comfortable."
"What do I care!" with quick
shrug of her shoulders. "Go, Alice,
and tell Lambert not to wait any
longer. Will you be all night with
Mr. Wlnslow?"
"Oh. I ll be back and forth." The
nurse paused and looked anxiously
at Elsa. "I dont like to leave
you." I
"Alice, you old stupid!" Elsa
straightened up as best she could
and kissed the nurse warmly. "Go
along and dont worry about me;
t have everything I could possibly
ant right here."
The servants' wing was attached
V) the .big mansion by a long cor
ridor. Carrying out Mrs. Window's
Ironclad order a dim light was al

(or If ahe had Immediate need of
her maid at any hour, the servant
would not be afraid to come
through a lighted house.
It was no such summons which
had brought Lucy, the housemaid,
creeping along It that night, how
ever. It was far after one in the
morning, and nothing but dirt ne
csslty had gotten the girt out of a
I 'arm bed. With stealthy fingers
she unlocked the side entrance and
stole around the house, the letter
she wished to mail clutched tightly
In one hand. The rural letter box
was close to the road and Lucy
covered the distance with fleet feet;
she had arranged with the milkman.
a devoted admirer of hers, to take
any letter he might aee sticking
from under the cover of the box.
One of Mrs. Winslow's peculiar!.
ties was having the milk left at the
entrance to Oakland instead of
placed outside the kitchen door;
the noise of the milk wagon com
ing along their driveway had awak
ened her for three mornings con
secutively when they first occupied
the mansion and she persuaded ber
husband to build a small concrete
platform and shelter for the milk
bottles next the rural mail box.
Lucy placed her letter where It
would be sure to eaten the lui
man's eye, and then with a lighter
heart she ran back to the house.
Instead of sticking to the graveled
path, she cut across the lawn, head
down, hugging her coat up about
her throat and across her chest.
Coming from behind a clump of
evergreens, she caught eight of
gleam of light on the ground be
fore her and glanced toward the
house.
Even as Lucy looked the light
grew brighter, and against the yel
low shades, which were pulled down
on all the windows of the room,
appeared a shadow; it grew In size,
but as it-pirouetted this way and
that, the horrified girl was unable
to decide whether It was man
woman. One moment the silhouette
assumed giant proportions, then
shrank to normal size; suddenly Its
movements grew intensified, body
and arms whirling in a mad rhy.
thm of motion.
Haltingly, step by step, Lucy ap
proached the terrace, then the
whirling body swung around, the
arms ware out-flung and she saw
beckoning clutching fingers. With a
terrified moan, she staggered back
ward and fled to her bedroom In
blind, unreasoning panic and cow
ered under her bedclothes.
