Chapter 49 ' BRAN I'OUND YOU" ROSAMUND atood Juit Inside Aob rt Leonard's door, waiting. Sho was drenched, her clothing torn. Bhe had been half an hour covering the tew hundred yards between the Tetterley bouse and where she stood. "Bad night for travel," she said, looking at a halt packed suitcase on a chair. "Best for both ot n. TouH finish w coming here like this. I'm off before you lit a rope around my neck." "That's not the chief reason. Where's Jervls?" "You'll have to dlvs to find him!" ' Rosamund stood quite still tor a moment, then ran for the door. She was flung aside. "How dare you I" "You're not going down; the wa ter1 well up to the root by now!" Rosamund calmly walked to the telephone and lifted the receiver. "Dive me Oroyatoa police eta- Two figures roee slowly , Uon." She covered the mouthpiece.' "Am I going down J" Bhe looked Into the mouth ot Leonard's auto matic; her eyes were steady. "I'm worth something alive," she said coolly. "Don't bluff me!" A thrumming came from the In strument. "That was bluff," she admitted. "But the operator's here now. She can hear shooting, too." Robert Leonard flung bis pistol down on the table. "Hang sp' that damned re ceiver!" he said. Rosamund hung It up. "Now look here I'll ten you the whole bed-rock truth. I wasn't to know you were liable to get a crasy tide when there was a storm was IT I did my best. I went down Into that damn passage and found the whole place under water. I went In up to my neck I oouldn't do more than that. I suppose you ' didn't expect me to drown myself?" "No,'' said Rosamund Just the one word, hard and cold. Then she put out her hand. "Give me the key I'm going down." "Not much I" She struck him a stinging blow In the face, and at the same mo ment there came the sound of loud ' and heavy knocking upon the back door. "Who Is Itr said Rosamund sud denly. The light bad gone out of tier. "I don't know. They mustn't see fm." Leonard opened the door and stepped out Into the passage; and as he did so, the wind blew In through the kitchen, and along with It came Bran, and, separated from him by a short length of chain, Ferdinand Francis, They seemed to be In a hurry. Robert Leonard shut the door sharply bohlnd him. He thought regretfully of the antomatlo on the 09104 table. Bran pulled on bis chain, growl ing, and Ferdinand said. Warning (1 ruing all persons to avoid contact wlta recently shipped or acquired birds of tne parrot fam ily nu been received by city Hesltn orricer u. D. Inskeep from the Unit ed States public health service. The warning reads in part: . "Several cases ot psittacosis, or parrot fever, are being reported In various part of the United States. Reports of five cases and one fatality riave -recently been revived from Minneapolis. There have been 13 cases of parrot fever, with six deaths, reported In California between De twriber, leal, and February, 10.13." A careful study of the situation In California, made by medical olflclals. showed that parrot fever Infection Is present In some of the breeding avia ries ot southern California.

It's Mr. Francis Isn't HI" "Where is shet" said Ferdinand sharply. "I haven't the slightest Idea what you're talking about." "You'd better have! I got back from a wild goose chase an hour ago, and 1 found a note from Nan to say she was coming here to find Jervir." "I really don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Francis." Ferdinand lengthened the chars, and as Leonard jumped back, the great dog ran snuffling up the pas sage. He pushed whining against the door Nan had stood behind. Ferdinand with a quick movement flung open the other door, and was taken completely aback. Rosamund Carew was leaning on the study table In an attitude ot careless Indifference. Ferdinand dropped Bran's chain In his surprise. "Isn't this a very early vtaltt" said Rosamund. "Hullo, Bran I" The dog wrinkled his brows, snuffed the air, and backed away from her outstretched hand. "Where's Nan?" said Ferdinand. "Well not here." "She said she was coming here," Ferdinand began; and then he saw Leonard's pistol lying where ha had thrown It. He pocketed It, then out of the blackness. turned to see Bran with his nose to the ground. "Seek her, boy seek her!" he said, and followed back to the kitchen, and across the kitchen to a door behind the dresser where Bran scratched and whined. As they went down the steps Into the cellar, Robert Leonard let himself out ot the front door. He had to crawl thirty yards to reach tbe abetter of the garage. Bran was snuffling and scraping at the trap. Ferdinand began to roll the barrel away, and us he did so, there came a knocking on the un der side of the trap. Rosamund stood where she was, and saw the barrel and the shadow ot the barrel move together. She saw Ferdinand take hold of the Iron ring that had been under the barrel and heave. She saw the trap rise, and Bran's groat head thrust forward. He whined frantically. And then she saw Jervla coming up out of the trap, and her heart stood still and her bones turned to wa ter. A drowned man might look like that. He came up higher, and Bhe saw Nan's face against his shoulder deathly white. Her eyes were closed, and her lips a little parted. Jervls took a step forwaid and then stopped, and there was a sud den doad silence. Then Nan opened her eyes. Bar gaze passed Rosamund and rested on Ferdinand. "Did you find r "Bran found you." "Where's Leonard?" said Jervls harshly. He and Ferdinand ran through the empty house, out Into the raw, stormy tlnwn. Thoy snw Leonard's car laboring toward the cliff rood. They snw It lurch, swing across the road, the Irresistible gale behind It. A huge gust caught It like a chip. It dropped over the edge Into the sea. "Let's go back to Nan, F. F.," said Jervls.
