T he night search of the Island hint
Kl ven up nothing and a daylight ex ­

fo re this, how ever, U aw son w anted to

which by his o rd ers iiad been locked

of fem inine occupation caught the eyes
of the men and held them chilled on
the threshold. A delicate perfum e
filled th e air, th e frag ran ce of her
passing hab itatio n still lingering in
ghostlike sw eetness a fte r th e living
presence had gone.
Uawson moved first, shaking off the
spell. H e looked into th e open w ard ­
robe trun k , com pletely packed but for
th e last hanger. “Going to put her
costum e th ere,” he said, touching it
w ith his index linger, lie pulled out
th e d raw ers and ran ids eye over th eir
contents. A gruy crep e dress lay
across th e foot (if th e bed, beside it a
eb»ak and a black hut w ith a w ater-
lily garnishing the brim . “T hese,” he
said, “w ere (lie clothes left out to

B assett m aided, lie could see Sybil
in tlie gray d ress w ith h er h air a
golden tiuff below th e edge of the
black hut. She had worn them on tin*
way up and been pleased when he hud
adm ired h er costum e.
The dressing table w as tlie only
place in tlie room tliat h er neat a r­

covered With a litte r of toilet articles,

a bunch of keys, a lipstick and a gold

partm ent w ere th ree hve-dollar bills
and in the gold purse one dollar and
thirty-live cents in coins.
“T his couldn’t have been ull tin*
money she had,’* he queried.
"W hy n o t?'’ said B assett. “ I guess
som e of us h av en ’t th a t much. She
did n ’t need any. All our expenses

ably intended for Miss P inkney.”

They passed out and along th e hall,
