We bad all been ao Intent upon
watching Beau, that none of ua
bad noticed Undo Baoul when he
rose. The tint we knew that he
had lelt hi chair waa when we
beard the sharp alap of hi open
palm serosa hi younger aon'i face.
That'i enough out of you; you're
drunk," be aald. Then he returned
to bis place as though nothing bad
happened.
For the second time within less
than five minutes, there was an
awkward pause; out In compari
son with this one. the first had
been the soul of (race. Finally
Claude broke It with on of his
fat chuckles.
"Well, I've got a few thousand
dollars I can afford to throw away."
he announced with condescending
magnanimity. 1 11 Duy out anyooay

Uncle Raoul?"
"No, thank you," Uncle Raoul
answered evenly, but his cheeks had
flushed even darker than Lee had
done a moment before.
"What about you, Dedef
"No " Amedee snaDoed.
At this point Cousin Jeff, who
had hitherto remained aueni, in
terposed with a change of subject.
The remainder of the evening
wasnX exactly what might be called
a social success. The scene at the
dinner table bad put everybody's
mental teeth on edge, with the
result that little things began to
grate on raw nerves out of all
proportion to tneir actual impor
tance. . ,
Claude, who, Ilk Beau, had
drunk more than was good for him.
noticed this and seemed to take
delight in aggravating the situa
tion. He insisted upon smoking his
huge, foul-smelling pipe In the
drawing room; and when he dis
covered that it annoyed some of the
others, he smoked all the harder.
He tormented Lee, who, he had
discovered was the most vulnerable
to his thrusts. He persisted in treat
ing Lewis Haye like a menial for the
sole purpose of annoying not, as
was evidenced by hi covert glances
in her direction.
Although doors and windows alike
were open, the atmosphere of the
room was stuffy and heavy. I at
tributed this to the fumes of
Claude's foul-smeums Otoe, which
he had continued to smoke so
furiously that there was actually a
bluish haze in the air. Aunt Min
erva, however, put it down to the
odor of the oleanders, which she in
sisted gave her a headache; and
finally she broke up the party by
announcing her intention of going
to bed, and advising Pick and Bob
by and me to do likewise. It was the
one action of her since we had
known her for which we were truly
grateful.

Oregon, Friday, Feb. 13, 19531
We left the men still in the I
drawing room, and went upstairs to
our rooms. However, unlike tne
night before, I was unable to get
o aieep. i leu nervous and resuess.
and like Aunt Minerva, I was de
veloping a headache.
After a while I heard the opening
and dosing of the front door, mark
ing the departure of those of the
men who slept in the garconnlere. I
Then came the sound oi the rest of I
them ascending the stairs, the muf
fled dosing of doors in more dls-l
tant parts of the bouse, and finally
silence.
It was shortly after this that my
throat began to feel dry. I reached
for the water carafe that stood on
the bedside table, only to discover
that it was empty. Marionette, the
young colored girl whose duty it was
to iooi alter we Bedrooms, nao
evidently In the excitement of the
day, forgotten to fill It.
1 rose quietly so as not to dis
turb Bobby, who had fallen asleep
long ago. and got into robe and slip-1
pent. Then I set out to fill the!
carafe at one of the bathroom fau-1
cets.
As I was passing the head of the
stairs, I glanced down Involuntarily,

and has so nearly been discovered
by that suddenly opening door. And I
at that very moment, as though his
tory were reoeatlng itself, the utter I
blackness of the lower hall was
again pierced by a shaft of light
identical In size and position with
uiai otner.
I stopped where I was. with the
queer reeling that lime had been
turned back without taking me with
it; for now I was standing In the
upper nan instead or the lower.
However, the impression lasted only
a minute; for what happened next
was different from what had hap
pened the night before.
The swath of brightness widen
ed, then was partially obliterated
tnree times as tnree men passed
through the open door to the hall
beyond. From where I was standing
I could see only tneir shadow cast
upon the floor and part way upon
tne opposite wall; aitnough from
these I was able to form a oretty

The tallest was. of course. Beau I
The second, with the suggestion of
a droop to Its somewhat narrow
shoulders was Lee. The third mleht

cept Claude or Henri, one of whom
was too large and the other too
smau to lit k.
For the fraction of a second, the
three stood there together. Then
Beau started down the hall toward
the front door, while the other two
turned toward the front of the
stairs. I decided that it was time
for me to move on.
But Just as I took step forward.
I sensed the faint odor of oleanders I
through the darkness: while a fig
ure all in white disengaged Itself
rrom among the shadows at the
head of the stairs, and floated to
ward me!
I was ao startled that T nearly I
dropped the water carafe. The
figure in white armeared to be
eoually startled, for it drew back
with a little sound like the quick I
mtaklng of breath. Then our eyes I
met; and with an exchange of mute.
self-conscious nods, we hurried upon
our separate way.
The figure had been Pick Du
mont.
