Within an hour the sheriff bad
can . and collected hla prisoner,
whom he had charged temporarily
with attempted murder of Aunt
' Delphlne and myself until the rest
of the ease against him could be
drawn up In proper form, "But what
made bun do k?" Bobby exclaimed.
T ttmrht he was- in love with-
She stepped In sudden embarrass
ment. .
"No 'Bnhbv. not In lore with
Pick," Amedee corrected. "In love
with the fortune be knew anea in
herit once he'd put the rest of us
out of the way.
"Fortune?" pick repeated, pus
sled. "What fortune could I peed
. bly Inherit"
"None of us ever seriously con
sidered the land as a motive, for
the killing," he replied, "and so
tt never occurred to us to ask our
selves who would Inherit tt once
there was no more male heirs.
Pick, of course would have been
"Bu?"what Is there about Hie
land to make It worth a fortune?"
Beau inquired skeptically.
Oil," Henri put In. "That was
why Orandpere sent for me along
with Claude and Mr. Duval He'd
found out that Haye was having
the place prospected for oil; and
since I'm m that line of business,
he must have wanted to consult me
about it." u
"You mean be was counting on
pick's Inheriting along with the rest
of us?" Beau asked.
"Partly that," Amedee replied.
"But T think he was planning as
Miii a Hnv Aiifc Haunt of the rest of
tin. orobably mortgaging Pick'
share to raise the money. That was
why he had to keep the whole thing
quiet, and why he killed Orandpere
wnen ne jewuacu wu -
had found out."
Exactly what was It that Uncle
Etienne had found out?" Cousin
Jeff inquired. "That's the thing
that's been puzzling me from the
beginning."
"Im not sure," Amedee answered,
"but I believe he must have heard
some of the dynamite shots. Haye
hunt tried to convince mm
that it was all his imagination, and
that was why he consulted theear
specialist ana me paycnuivrun.. j
either he or Aunt Delphlne discover
ed the rea tags.
n on nto. T interrui
Tell me what those three little
strips of red cloth meant, and why
everybody acted so mysterious about
them!"
tta ffrlnnnf At me.
"Those three little red flags are
the signs the prospectors pui up w
mark, a spot for dynamiting. Even
Claude knew tmai; wmcn pivrcu
to Lewis Haye that arandpeve must
have told him about the oil that
first evening after he got here.''
Cousin Jeff wisely turned the
conversation to other matters.
"What about Aunt Derphlne and
Peter?" he asked. "They didn't stand
to inherit under the will. What did
Haye have against them?"
"I can explain that," I put to.
"He tried to kill me because I
walked in before he could do any
thing to Aunt Delphlne; and he
wanted to kill her because she knew
that he had killed the others."
"But did she know?" Bobby asked.
"T thought she believed that the
vax behind everything."
"That the whole rjoint." I said.
"When we thought she was saying
Loup,' meaning the Loup Oarou,
what she was really saying was Lew'
ehort for Lewis."
I had the satisfaction of seeing
even Amedee look surprised at that.
"He'd tried to keep her quiet that
morning by threatening to kill you,
Dede, 2 she told," I went on. "But
when got me mea alter you a
left for New Orleans that something
had happened to you and demanded
to see uie anerui, ne anew nea
have to silence her permanently. So
he slipped out and set fire to the
stables to draw the rest of us
away"
Lewis Ham at first nrotested his
innocence of the murders. But when
a thorough autopsy upon the bodies
of Claude, Lee, and Orandpere
Dumont proved that they had all
died of oleander poisoning, he broke
down and confessed everything.
He had suspected about the oil
ror a Jong tune, and had made ar
rangements to have the land pros
pected secretly. But Orandpere had
heard the dynamite shots again as
Dede and I had guessed and had
started to ask questions. Have had
attempted to convince uie old man
that he was suffering from hallu
cinations had almost succeeded, in
tact. But when Orandpere, upon
his return from the visit to New
Orleans had aocidentlally come upon
some oz tne prospectors at work ana
had threatened to discharge Haye
ror his underfaandedness, Haye had
realised that his only chance to
gain future control of the land was
to dispose of the old man at once.
He had acted accordingly.
"And then Beau Just about ruined
everything for him by suggesting
tnat uncie kaoui ana nan oom
committed suicide because they've
discovered there was insanity in the
family," I added. "And Pick refused
to marry him."
"I doubt whether Pick would have
married him anyway," Amedee de
clared, "although the colossal con
celt of the man had made him take
that for granted. However, I
imagine that was an even worse
blow to him than Orandpere's will." I
"SDeaklng of marriages." he said.
"I still thing that idea of mine about I p
and wedding was a gooa one."
"After ell those murders?" ' I
shook my head, "I'd feel that we
were Jlnxed. Let's wait until Uie
smoke has cleared away a little, if
you have no Objections."
"I have, but I dont Imagine
thevH do me anv good." he said
glumly. Then he brightened.
"What about Christmas?" he ask
ed. 'That's always an auspicious
occasion."
I could think of no objection to
that. In fact, I didn't particularly
try to una any.
