VOICES IN THE DARK :
'THIS nowspaper notice, Flique
told Samuels, had appeared In
.three French journals tor six
months.
"And their escape seven months
ago was in headlines all over the
world," Sam u els muttered. "This
notice went Into print a month lat
or-t-hmin plenty of time to get
over there from Californln."
-:Samuels paced the floor.
-"Not a bad stunt," he wont on.
Those, fellows probably saw their
home town papers somehow. Any
idea who Inserted It, Flique?"
"None. The money to pay for It
woa sent as you say-anonymously."
Samuels strode over to the
couch. Drawing back the sheet, he
looked down into the face It had
covered.
"Is this Jules Lacotc, Flique?" he
demanded abiuptly. ' :
.Fllgue's agreeable expression did
not cbunge.
"1 do not know, my friend."
"Assuming that It is, do you
think Bee and le Balafre killed
bin.?"
"Monsieur, I do not know. 1
have the open mind. But from
what I have learned of le Balafrg
nnd Clcerou Bee, M. Parados was
not killed by them."
"Why not?"
"Because a devil lives In their
hearts. After 25 years on I'll du
lllable could It be otherwise?
Those two would not content them
selves' with a bullet In the heart ot
the one who sent them there. They
are arista. The death of Jules la
coto would be an awkward one tor
that person, 1 assuro you."
."Hut see hero." Samuels coun
tered. "That notice brought you
lo San Ulcus. Wouldn't they fig
ure on your people seeing It and
looking It up? I should think
they'd want to put- themselves on
llio oilier side of tho earth.'
"I lib not' know,'" Flique said,
shruggl'ig. "1 lako the chance.
Perhaps they will, also. Which has
supremacy In their hearts, fear of
le Sureti, or lust for vengeance?
1 bave the opinion It Is the latter."
"Well, maybe. 1 wish 1 knew
who paid for that advertisement.
What do you kDow about LacOie's
parents?" , 1
"His mother was French. Ot his
father we know nothing. It Is
thought that LacOlo onco served
. In nn arsenal, but we do not know."
"Nobody knows anything about
Parados' life up to his coming to
America 25 years ago not even
his wife," Samuels continued. "He
may have Invented that Ureek fa
ther. Flique, I've a hunch Parados
is yonr man, LacOto!"
"You assume too much mm ami.
Also, you do not know that madame
has tho Ignorance ot monsieur's
past."
, "Toot's right," Samuels mul

now Mrs. Parados. I wonder who'll
be the next?"
Fltquo chuckled. "My friend, it.
Is tho socoud hour of the new day.
Shall wo retire?"
Samuels tossed hts cigar Into the
fireplace "Good idea. Kirk Is go
ing back to headquarters, I'll bunk
in tho boathouso."
I wonted a breath of air before
turning lu and 1 left by the patio
window. Samuols locked 1! behind
me. A path crossed the patio. 1
followed It, pondering.
Here wore a 25yearold bank
robbery In a French city, tho pur
chase of a Jade phoenix with a his
tory 30 centurios long, two men es
caped from a French penal colony,
and Dan Parados with a bullet in
his heart ... to say nothing of
the phoenix Parados had lost two
hours before ho was killed, the 35
ceut price ticket clutched in his
hand, end the hatred be had bred
in his own house. Were all these
events parts of a sinister pattern
hidden in shadow?
Coming out of tho patio, 1
thought I might na well go as far
as the odgo of tho cliff that loolied
down Into tho cove. A pergola was
built on the edge ot the cliff. I was
perhaps GO feet away from it when
voices Colia's nnd Annersloy's, f
thought rbecame audible. ;
terod. ''The Brent girl, Annersley,
""Oh, Glaude, how could you do
that?" ' ' ...
"Cells, Colin!" Anuorsley pleaded.
,The girl began to weep. "1
wouldn't have bellcvod it of you!
Oh, Claude"
'But,. -Cello, dear" Annorsley
broke off. "Sssh!" ho muttered.
Thero's some one coming."
But 1 was nlready on my way
back and I quickened my step. 1
came, nround to the outside stair
and ran up to llio roof where my
pondorfpgs wero cut short by the
discovery that the breeze had
slammed to: the - window of my
room, automatically locking it. 1
was shut out.
"What an Idiot 1 Bin!" 1 mut
tered. "Why didn't I think of that?"
I remembered tho billiard room
window. To my relief it waB open
and 1 stepped softly Into tho room,
latching the window behind me.
Halt way across the dark room I
paused with a prickling sonsatlon
at the base of my neck. There Is
nothing comparablo with the feel
ing. 1 was ns positive as I was of
my own existence that soma one
bcsldo myself was in tho room.
My first thought was of IJrent
collection, but 1 had alrcody
brushed against some of llio clo
tures and tho pottery was still on
the billiard tnblc. No, it was my
Impression that tho Intruder, who
ovor ho was, was after somothlng
else. I was not nfrnld, but 1 did
not move.
It could not ho Annersley or "Co
Ha. Nor Caroline. Miss Jahrles,
Flique, Mrs. Parados, Johns, drain
gor ono of thoso, poi-hsps, hut for
some obscure reason I did not
think so. And then I thought ot le
Balafre and Ciceron Bee and my
blood turned cold Likely enough
And then, quite distinctly, I
heard tho sound I had been waiting
for.
What It was I did not know. But
It gavo me the Impetus 1 needed.
The Intruder was making for the
ball door. If I had had a clear
course wo rhould probably have
reached tho door togcthe., but
there was a chair In my way. Aly
foot caught In ono of Its legs and
I pitched headlong to the floor.
