Frultleai Search
For thero was only Bill himself,
(trim enough In his sU-ubbIo to ex
tricate himscU from tlio wreckage
of what had been one of a pair
of beautiful Chinese Chippendale
gill mirrors. Two chairs and a table,
apparently, had been pretty well
mixed up In the melee, the tall vase
of gladioli had been upsot but had
not broken and flowers and glass
from the mirror wore scattered In
all directions.
"Watch out, don't get cut," Bill
warned, as I rushed forward to fling
myself upon him, crying out to
know if he was badly hurt.
"Wns It you I ran Into Just now?"
Bill demanded of Kirk.
"Ran Into?" Kirk echoed blankly.
"Yes, here at the foot of the
stairs."
"I was back In the kitchen," Kirk
explained. "I had thought I heard
a sound from that direction and
had gone to Investigate. Then I
heard all this
"Well, let's don't stand here
then," Bill cried, galvanized Into
action In spite of his Injuries. "I
ran into somebody. Let's go after
him."
"All right," Kirk agreed with al
acrity. "But .which way do you
think he went? I saw no one."
"I don't know," Bill admitted
dazedly, putting his hand to his
head, "I was right at the bottom
step. Probably he went through
the dining-room door. That's near
est the stairs. I'll go that way and
you go through the breakfast room.
Bally, stay In the library. If anyone
comes in, hit 'em as hard as you
can with that poker and yell like
hen."
As they gatherod up light for
their scouting expeditions, two calls
came from the upstairs hallway.
"What's going on down there?" In
Bob's voice, which sounded quite or
Hated, while Eve inquired acidly
whether anybody ever slept In this
house. Looking upward, I could see
the tiny flumes of their cnndles
pricking the darkness overhead.
"BUI rnn into someone," I ex
plained, shakily.
"What's that?" Bob asked. And,
"Why didn't he look where he was
going?" from Eve.
Then I could hear Bob trying to
persuade Eve to ro back to her
room and lock tho door while he
rame down to aid the searching par
ty. "All right," she finally agreed,
"but you must como In later and
tell me all about It."
1 was still In the hall, the lamp
which Kirk had handed over to
me swaying at an angle of goodness
knows how many dcRrecs, when Bob
reached the late battlefield. "(Josh,"
he exclaimed, "what a shambles I
How many killed and wounded?"
And then without waiting for a re
ply, "dive me that lamp and let
mo take a look around."
"You'd better warn Bill and
Kirk." 1 cautioned, "or you may
get killed. They told me to stay
In the library. Don't let tliein mis
take you for the murderer."
"Murderer," Bob rrpoatrd, stop
ping and staring down at me, as
though he hnri Just rrnllzcd the sig
nificance of all that, had happened.
"Not a pretty word." he agreed. "But
we have had a murder, so there's
bound to be a murderer."
Eventually the three searchers
came back to the library fire, great
ly disgruntled that they had found
no trace of any trespasser.
"Oh, Bill, darling," I cried at the
sight of the lump already swelling
on his forehead. "How terrible.'
"Did you know that you left me
In the bedroom without n sign
of a candle?" Bill inquired In that
long-suffering tone which Is so an
noying when you already know
yourseir In the wrong.
"Oh." I confessed contritely, "I
never thought of that."
"What 1 can't understand In the
first place," Bill went on sternly,
"is wlint you came downstairs for."
"Sally wns worried about Mrs.
Ambler." Kirk explained. "We went
In to see that she was all right
and afterward I forgot to replace
the lamp. I'm terribly sorry, old
. By

, GRASS 15 TOO T0U-Gjj
man. That looks like Pretty bad
bump on your head, too."
"But what happened In the hall?1
I had to know. "I never heard such
carrying-on In all my life."
"Yes." sold Kirk, "are you sure
you actually ran Into someone and
not Just a chair?"
"Of course, I'm sure," Bill replied
indignantly.
"Did you see anybody?" asked
Bob.
"No," said Bill morosely. "That
was the trouble. I couldn't see any
thing, but I am sure it was a man,
for whoever it was gave me a hefty
shove to one side. I lost my balance
and I think I crashed Into a chair.
Anyway, all the furniture on the
place seemed to gang up on me.
"I threw out my arms, grabbing
with both hands, to try to break
my fall and my right hand struck
that confounded mirror and
brought It down on top of me. PraO'
tlcally brained me and didn't help
my hand either," ho complained,
bitterly, taking stock of his in'
Juries.
"Oh, dear, I'm so sorry," I la
mented. "And It was my great'
great-grandmother's mirror, too. But
what can we do about your head?'
"Alcohol," Bob suggested. "An.
piled externally, I mean. All right,
Internally, too, of course. But soak
a cloth and hold It over the bump."
And, as I looked doubtful, "I've got
some In my room," he offered. "I'll
go right up and get It."
"I had no notion you would wake
up," I told Bill. "Usually you Bleep
so soundly."
He and Kirk exchanged wry glan
ccs. "I wouldn't call this a usual
situation," Bill said. "Why on earth
should you want to come down to
see Aunt Maggie? Of all the fool
ishness I'vo ever heard of "
"I suppose It was foolish," I ad
mitted, glad enough to get off with
out more detailed explanation at
the moment.
"Put me on a pretty spot," said
Bill. "Here, I wake up and you
are mUtslng. I call but get no an
swer. So I have to go through all
that rlgamarole of getting a light,
And not a candle anywhere. I look
In the bathroom. Nobody home.
Then I find the hall door unlocked.
"Well, I ask, what now? Echo an
swers why and I decide to take a
look. My matches have given out.
and it Is pitch-black In the hall,
but I feel my way to the stairs
and get down all right. Then Just
at the foot of the stairs I am run
Into by a baboon or gorilla or hairy
ape and"
"Here you are, old man." said Bob,
bark from his quest for first-aid
materials. "Do you mean to say this
thing you ran Into had hair on
him?"
"Hair on this chest, anyway." Bill
replied, "Judging from the force of
the shove he gave me. I'd Use to
get my hands on him."
"Then Alice did see something,"
I remarked, applying a guest towel,
sonkrd In alcohol, to the bump on
Dill's head.
