Cousin Jeff and Lewis Haye rush
ed out of the house at once, while
Bobby and Pick and I followed more
lowly.
For the next fifteen minutes or
so we Just stood there with that
desperately helpless feeling you get
when you're forced to look on at
wanton destruction, knowing that
you can do nothing aoout it.
All of a sudden a thought ex
ploded in my head with violence.
Tne lire naa arawn au oi us away
from the house all, that Is, ex
cept Aunt Delphlne. And Aunt Del
phlne had Just announced that eve
ning that she knew something about
the murders, and wanted to tell it
to the sherlffi
"Oh, Heaven I It's all been a trick
to get us away!" I cried. "Aunt
Ttolnhlnel She's back there alone I"
T flurur nver mv shoulder as I turn'
ed and started racing back toward
the house.
I found the front door standing
half open when I reached it, and
I couldn't remember whether we
had left it that way or not.
"Aunt Delphlne I" I called, then
hew my cream.
I To my Infinite relief, her voice
I answered me."
f "Peter! It's you oherier Come
and stay with me."
f Then I felt her reach up and
tug at my sleeve for me to bend
closer. ,
"He's here." she whispered qulck-
ly. "He's hiding over there in the
i closet."
"Who. Aunt Delphinef" I asked.
She breathed a single word.
Only her poor, misguided Im
agination again I I started to draw
a, sigh of relief, only to have It turn
Into a gasp midway, one naan t nig
what we had all thought she had
been saying ever since Lee's death;
the had said . .
Too 'ate I heard the creak of a
board directly behind me. I gripped
the wrist or the hand anoui my
throat and pulled downward and
outward wiui au my strengui.
That gave me Just enough room
for a nice, backward kick. My lungs
were beginning to feel as though
they were beginning to burst, while
objects swam oeiore my eyes, i saw
two Aunt Delphines spring out of
two beds and fling themselves at
my assailant. But ne uurig won
both aside with one sweep of his
arm; and they crumpled back upon
the bed. where they merged and
oecame one again.
But to do it. ne naa Deen oougca
In remove his hand for an Instant
from my mouth. That was ail i
needed. I let the breath out of my
tortured Injurs In a veil that would
nave done credit to an air raw
siren during the war.
"You little hellion I" the man
snarled, and tried to climp the hand
bark over mv mouth. But I managed
to catch it side on, and I brought
my teeth together with a force that
made my Jaws ache. The man let
out a yell that ran a good second to
mv own. ana lei uo oi my uurat. 1
Then his clinched fist struck the
side of my head with a force that
made me see stars, but I hung on.
I closed mv eves and nreoartd to
go down lighting or Diting, to ue
more exact.- And then at the final
second, help arrived.
"Put up your hands," Pick's voice I
-nmmanded from the doorway. "I've I
got Grandpere's squirrel gun, ana
you Know l can ,use it.
The man twistea nis cony rail
way around. I
"Don't be a fool Pick," he
said sharply. "There's been a mis
take. If you'll put that gun down,
I'll explain.
"You're riffht." Pick said Rrim-
ly. "There has been a mistake, and .
you made it. I'm keeping this gun
riffht the wav it is. and you can
do your explaining to the sheriff.
Bobby's downstairs phoning for him
now." .
Pick stepped Inside the room and
keeDimr well out of his read),
motioned for him to precede her
back into the hall.
As we reached the head of the
stairs, Bobby came out of the room J
that had been Colonel Dumontls
office and Into the lower hall.
"Ohl" she gasped. "Not not
For one snllt second. Pick's atten
tion was diverted to Bobby. Our
prisoner realized it. With what
seemed to be a single leap, he was
down the stairs and disappearing
throueh the open door of the
smaller drawing room.
"Where did he get to?" Bobby de
manded blanklv.
"He got away," kck answerea. ,
Her voice sounded bitter with re
gret.
"No; he didn't!" I cried, and
leaped upon the top of the wood-
box, perching there feet and all.
"He tried to get out this way the
same as he did last night after he'd
killed Lee. But I snapped the pad
lock on the other side when we
locked up. We've got him."
As if in confirmation, the lid of
the wood box gave a convulsive
heave beneath me, but I managed
to stay put. A look oi grim satis
faction leaped Into Pick's eyes. She
turned to Boooy.
Run down to the stables and call
some of the boys," she directed.
"Peter and I will hold him here
till you get back."
suddenly the front door was
thrown violently open, and we heard
Beau's voice in the hall.
Whate going on here? When I
reached New Orleans and found
that Dede and Henri hadn't sent
for me"
"Oh, Beau!" Pick broke in. Her
voice was tremulous with relief.
"He tried to kill Aunt Delphlne and
peter tonight, and"
Mine tonneres " That was
Amedee.
Peter!" he exclaimed in amaze
ment "What are you doing there?"
Keeping the ltd on things." 1 1
answered. "Literally."
He udcretood at once. "You can
come out now Haye, he said.
