Rudd Weatherwax arrived at

explained “I rushed to look at the

THE LAST CRY
FICTION
Corner
T T E STOOD outside his uncle's
* 1 room, and as he listened for a
brief moment to the labored breath­
ing coming from within, his fea­
tures became distorted by some
sinister emotion. For the physical
wreck within the room, his uncle
stood between him and his inheri­
tance. Only upon Jason Stoneleigh’s
death would he come into his
estate, and only yesterday he
learned from Doctor Phelps, his
uncle's physician, that old Jason
would perhaps live for years. It
was then he had made his decision.

his fears, realizing, of course, that
this would be only a routine investi­
gation. Surely nothing could have
gone wrong. He hastened into his
clothes.
The police drove him to the house
of his uncle. It seemed all of them
were awaiting him—the state's at­
torney men, Jason's servant — ar.d
in the background—Doctor Phelps.
“I ’m here to give you gentle­
men every help," he said, gravely,
and the sound of his voice gave
him sudden courage. “I'm terribly
upset to hear of my uncle’s sui­
cide.”
“ Suicide? You’re certain It
was suicide?” The question was
hurled roughly at him.
Panic gripped him. and his eyes
turned desperately to Doctor Phelps
“Surely, Doctor Phelps, you car
tell them how absurd it Is to think
otherwise. You can tell them
of my uncle’s brooding over his
ill-health.”
The doctor stepped toward Alex,
his face stern, almost menacing.
“I can only tell them the truth,
Alex—”
"Yes, the truth," Alex pleaded
"Your uncle suffered a stroke a
week ago—and the gun which killed

which would never
throw an inkling of
suspicion his way. His uncle kept a
loaded gun in his room, eccentric
as he was, he lived in fear of his
life. He kept only one servant, who
would be away today, and there
would be away today.
Alex smiled to himself, deeply
satisfied with his plan, as he en­
tered the room. He greeted his
uncle with robust good cheer, but
his uncle, a dark scowl upon his
thin bony face, sat in his chair
silently. There was no movement
in his body.
“Aren’t you feeling any better?”
he asked with feigned concern, and
then the eyes of the two men met.
and their glance seemed to sweep
aside all pretense between them.
