Chapter U
' Late that ifwrnoon, Mr. Duval,
the lawyer, drove out to otter hl
! condolences over Claude's death,
and to announce that under term
of Colonel Duraont's will. Claude's
' ahare In the estate would now re
vert to Uncle Raoul. He and Uncle
Raoul were closeted together (or a
long time in the office.
In the meantime. Aunt Minerva
. furrushed eome alight, diversion.
Uncle Raoul phoned the sheriff and
obtained permission lor her to
leave; ao when Mr. Duval drove
back to New Or leant, ahe went with
him.
All during supper that evening tt
bad become supper again with the
' departure of Aunt Minerva Uncle
Raoul had remained silent and pre
. occupied, as though something was
weighing on his mind.
-There a certain matter that I
Want to have cleared up," he be
gan. "I want to know how my
father died.
A half audible murmur of sur
prise ran around the table.
Uncle Jeff was the first to speak.
"But I thought you did know.
Raoul." he said. "Your father died
of a heart attack."
"8o I've been told," Uncle Raoul
said grimly. "But who was with him
when ne aieo? were you. Jen t
"No." Cousin Jeff answered.
rode over a day or so before to see
him. but that was the last."
"Were you with him, Lewis?"
Not ,when he died." Lewis Have
replied. "He'd sent roe to the upper
plantation ine aay oeiore u bcv
something about the cotton crop.
I didn't get back until after his
death. But Miss Delphlne was here
- for her yearly visit, and Claude had
- That made them all sit up and
take notice. It was plain from the
expressions on thrir faces that most
of them had not known before that
Claude had been present at the
tlm f tils grandfather's death.
Claude? Uncle Raoul repeated.
"What was he doing here?"
' "I think Colonel Dumont had
sent for him."
Henri spoke unexpectedly. "He
sent for me, too," he announced.
"But I was away on a business trip
t the time, ana tne letter cuani
reach me until after It was too
.late."
Uncle Raoul turned to him at
once.
"Do you remember what he said
In the letter?" he asked eagerly.
"He merely said he wanted to see
me," Henri answered. "He asked me
to come out here on the eighteenth."
"The same day he died!" Lee ex
claimed involuntarily.
His father nodded.
. "Precisely," he said. "And he also
sent for one other person his
lawyer. Duval told me when he was
here today that Father called him
up on the seventeenth, and asked
him to come out the next day on a
matter of urgent business. He said
Father told him he had lust found
out something he should have
known long ago, and wanted to dis
cuss it with him. What I want to
know Is this: Was It mere coin
cidence that my father should have
sent for his eldest and his young
est grandsons and his lawyer, and
then have died before he had an
opportunity to talk to any of them?"
"Except the eldest," Beau put in
meanlnngfuily.
"Raoul. what are you driving at?"
Cousin Jeff demanded. "Are you
trying to insinuate?"
"I'm Insinuating nothing,"
Uncle Raoul interrupted him. "I'm
merely trying to find out."
Everybody looked half expectant
ly at everybody else, but no one
spoke.
"AH. right," Uncle Raoul said,
rising. "That is all." He turned and
left the room.
The rest of us drifted out, too;
not m a body, but In small groups.
Lewis Haye attemr4 to attach
himself to Pick: but sne passed him
without a glance, slipping her hand
through Beau's arm instead. I had
noticed that there had been a
coolness between them earlier in
the day. and had wondered with
the corner of my mind that wasnt
crowded with other things what had
been the cause of it.
Amedee guided me Into the larger
drawing room, uiancing up at film,
I saw that his attention had wan
dered.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
He roused himself with an effort.
"It's what Uncle Raoul told
back there." he said moodily. "What
was it Grandpere wanted to see
Claude and Henri and Duval about
before he died?" .
"Whv wonder about Henri any
more than about the other two?"
I inquired.
"Because." he replied, "his send
ing for the other two wss under
standable. Duval was his lawyer and
Claude the eldest of the family in
direct line. But Henri is the young
est. Why single him out when the
rest of the family wasn't included?"
It didn't sound logical. I had to
admit. ' ,
"At least there's one thins to
be thankful for," he went on. "Henri I
never got the letter until it was too
late.-
"Why. what do you mean?" I
asked.
Orandnere made a discovery that
ne wanted to pass on to inose inree.
But he died before he could men
tion it to any of them, with the
possible exception of Claude. And
now Claude's dead, too.'
"No. Dedel" I exclaimed in
sort of panic. "Not that I Claude
died of a heart attack, the same as
your grsnaiatner aid."
"Exactly," he said "The same as
Grandpere did. We may as well face
it, Peter. It's beginning to look as
though Grandpere and Claude were
both murdered; and what's more.
believe that Uncle Raoul sus
pects it, too."
