Ink that this) made it Incumbent
upon him to answer.
"No," he said. "Bom of us were
sleeping to the garoonnieres."
"Which ones?"
"Both of them. There are only
two."
"The sheriff means which of us,
Henri," Amedee explained. He turn
ed to Wilkes. "My brother and I
were in the garconniere on the right,
my cousin Beauregard and Mr. Haye
m the other."
The sheriff's eyes flickered. Sud
denly he swung upon Beau.
"If you were supposed to be

-wnai were you com' over nere at

"I eouldnt sleep," he answered
without hesitation. "The truth Is,
I'd had a little too much to drink
last evenlcs. and it was (Wins me
something of a bead. So I decided to
lake a turn or two arouna me
grounds in the hope that It would
wear off. Then I noticed the light
over here, and thought I'd see who
was up. That was now I came to
find Claude."
The sheriff seemed to weigh this
answer. "Wasn't your grandfather's
funeral a funny tune to get orunk7
he demanded.
Perhans I'd better explain that
Colonel Dumont left some rather
unusual instructions to be carried
out after his death." Cousin Jeff
Intervened. "He directed that after
the funeral, a formal dinner party
wu to be held in his honor, when
a special ease of champagne would
be opened. He also asked that all
his male relatives wear Confederate
uniforms, which accounts for the
costume Mr. Claude Dumont was
wearlns when he was killed."
The sheriff scratched the side of I
his lean Jaw. He looked as though
he was wondering whether this hsd
been a funeral or a three ring circus
complete with everything except the
peanuts and pink lemonade.
But before he could put another
ritlon, the door to the hall, which
coroner had closed while he was
busy out there, was opened, and
Aunt Delphine came into the room.
She stood there looking around
Hie room and smiling gently.
"So Claude is dead," she oh-1
served with the satisfaction of
prophetess whose words have been I
verified. "I knew It would happen." I

Aunt Delphine drew herself up
with old-fashioned dignity.
"I am Madame Dumont." she
stated.
"Not the mother of the man who
as killed?" - .
"Of course not I si
Dumont"
"She is me widow or my eldest
brother," Raoui explained. Then he
added, lowering his voice. "I'd sug
gest that you dldnt pay too much
attention to anything sne may say."
The sheriff Ignored this Piece of
advice, and turned back to Aunt
Delphine.
"So you know it would happen."
he said again. "How did you know
ma'am?"
Aunt DelDhine lowered her voice
to a ooniuenuai wnisper.
