Chapter 37
SUDDEN TRAGEDY
Hope and Dirk went together to
the gray atone house ui Twenty-second
atreet. At Ita door she healtated,
then asked. "Could you let me have
tome money?"
He took $30 from h's billfold, of
fered to write a check If ahe needed
more.
"No," he answered, and thanked
him, "this will do."
She took the money and went in
alde, asking him to wan on the step
After about 20 minutes she came out.
"I'm ready," ahe said.
She was taking nothing back with
her but the guitar.
enow, snow falling infinitely,
steadily, without hurry.
Dirk stood at his beoroom window
In his dressing gown, and watched
the Enow. He had tried to read, but
made no headway. Ru)rt had been
home a week. He was recovering
certainly, though he still looked
shaken and pale. He had gone this
morning, thoroughly bundled in rugs,
for a ride with Hope, Martin driving
them. The nurses had been dis
charged. What Rupert's sudden turning to
his wife might signliy, Dirk could
only conjecture. Whether it was, as
he bad suggested to Hope, the mere
vagary of a sick man, or whether
the new mood involved a definite
change of heart, Dirk saw too little
of either Hope or Rupert to deter
mine. Husband and wife had their
meals together upstairs, and on
those occasions when Dirk had vis
ited Rupert In his room, Hope had
withdrawn.
Dirk knew of course that Hope
was only marking time only waiting
until Rupert was wel. again, when
6he would leave. But tie. would know
this time when she went. She had
promised to tell him and she would
keep her word. He. ten., would keep
his word. He would not stop her, or
try to stop her.
He would merely go with her. No
thing could prevent him.
He started, thinking he heard a
cry. A woman's cry. And now, al
most instantly, a shot a stammer
ing shot, like backfire from an cn
guie. Yet it had bec.i too close for
backfire, and from the wrong direc
tion. He was in the hail He listened.
There was no sound anywhere. . .
It should not be so still behind
Hope's door. He trlcu that door. It
was locked. He tried Rupert'a door.
It opened. The light as on but the
room was empty.
Hope's light burned, too. The door
stood open. Dirk was u: Hope's room
before he knew.
Hope stood In her nightgown,
leaning against the column of the
bed. Her eyes were dazed as if she
were walking In her sleep. Rupert
lay face down at her feet.
The pearl-handled revolver ws on
the floor between them.
Dirk rose from kneeling beside
hi brother, and confronted Hope.
Close to him now, hei dazed eyes
atared back, seeming not to see him.
Suddenly ahe crumpled, was In his
arms. He lifted her, carried her to
ward the door.
Timothy, pale, half, dressed, hur
ried belore him, turning back or
directions.
"The south bedroom." Dirk said.
Distinctly he remei'.irjered that the
south bedroom had been made rea
dy for the Hev. Devlne. Somehow.
Mary, too. was in the room, turning
c'own the bed. Dirk laid Hope with
in It. Her eyes were half shut, her
lips parted. She seemed not to
breathe.
Timothy had gone out. Dirk met
him coming from the tower-room.
Timothy'! voice was almost Inaud
ible. "Shall I call . . ."
"Call Dr. Rann across the street,"
said Dirk. "That's the quickest.-
Rann came at once Rupert, he
said, had died instantly.
Dirk telephoned to Connolly, Ru
pert friend and ohief-of-police.
Connolly, he knew, would bring the
coroner. They must come of course.
but they would leam nothing from
Hope tonight. Rann, who wag with
her now, had said at once that she
must not be questioned.
Rupert lay Just within the room,
close to the old kas. A small dark
stain was spreading on his back,
dyeing the familiar brown dressing
gown. The bullet had gone through.
The pistol lying there had sent its
bullet clear through.
Something like a wound went
through Dirk's own breast. My God,
and we were playing backgammon
not an hour ago. . .
He took a handkerchief from the
pocket of his dressing gown, dropped
it over the pistol. Then he picked
the pistol up and btoke It open.
One shot was gone. The pistol had
been fully reloaded, and one shot
only had been fired.
Strange. Strange, that. He wiped
the weapon carefully and laid It
down again. But he did not lay it
where it had been close to the spot
where Hope had stood
He laid it beside Hubert's hand.
The pearl handle close to Rupert's
hand. "Forgive me, old man."
It wouldn't matter now. Nothing
mattered now to that prone body in
its monk-like robe. Tne very ges
ture of the out-flung arms allowed
that nothing mattered now.
"I was afraid of this,' Connolly
said when he arrived.
He and Bassett, the coroner, had
at last come out of the tower-room.
They talked with Dirk in the hall.
"1 was afraid, Connolly repeated.
"When he didn't con. back from
Big Moose I got worrrcd. Tilings he
said once or twice, the way he act
ed. He made his will last month, I
suppose you know."
Dirk said that he had not known.
but since Rupert haa Just got mar
ried
T know. And he seemed more
cheerful yesterday when I called.
And his wife taking care of him so
well. Even In his note he left no
reason." '
"He had a note?" Dirk asked.
"The note on his desk." Connolly
said. "The note addressed to you
He took the note from his pocket
and handed It to Dirk.
"I supposed of course you'd found
It. It was not even fo'dtd Just lying
open on his desk."
They were standln? near Dirk's
door. Dirk went into his room to
read his brother's note.

CHRISTOPHER REPORTS
By Mary Graham Bonner
Christopher waited very quietly
Then, without any one noticing him,
he went back to the Puddle Mud
dlers and their camp. He decided
that he would not go to Willy Nllly's
as yet,
"I have news, caw, caw, caw, caw!"
he cawed as he reached the camp.
"We'll get even with them. Oh yes,
I have an idea! You may all have
Ideas. What a noise well make.
We'll stay on our own land so they
cannot object."
"What in the world are you talk
ing about, growl, growl?'' asked
Jelly Bear.
"You'll have to be clearer in your
speech," cackled Top Notch,, the
rooster.
"I'm clear enough. It was you
who got tricked, caw, caw, caw."
Top Notch looted very much
alarmed.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Has someone stolen my little mir
ror?" He reached for it and found
that it was still quite safe under his
wing.
"The Galumps," said Christopher,
"do not intend to help Willy Nilly at
all."
"What?" crowed and bleated and
growled and quacked and barked
the others.
'I do not know what you mean,
Christopher," cackled Top Notch.
"I shall explain." cawed Christo
pher. "I was on my way to Willy
Nllly's and I stopped at the Ga
lumps' place."
"You weren't looking for any new
com, were you?" growled Jelly
Bear.
Silence!' cawed Christopher, "if
you wish me to go on with my re
port. Tomorrow "Christopher
Continues"
Silverton George Chrlstenson,
who has been taking an enforced
vacation from his work as mill
wright at the Silver Falls Timber
company mill since April 3, was abls
to return to his duties Monday.
Chrlstenson sustained a badly brok
en left arm at that time.
Alice and Thomas have aetrched
high and low,
Their onee happy spirits now weight

Vainly they seek for 'neouraginf
news,
Vainly they hunt for Ihe slightest
of clues.
