Chapter 4 GIRL IN TERROR HER fingers were scratching and fumbling at the door beside me. Then her face turned from looking over her shoulder and showed me whiteness and wide dark eyes and blowing hair, and she beat on the loor with her lists and sobbed again: "Oh, do let me In." I got the door open, and she whirled In, and I closed It against the wind. She followed the light Into my room like a child running from ' the dark, and when 1 followed her she was kneeling before the Ore, stretching out her beautiful hands toward It, and her silver-heeled slip pers made spots of light against the carpet Her eyes flared with terror and mot mine, and she said with a gasp: "Shut the door," Sue whirled In, 1 shut the door Into the corridor, There's, one nice thing about not having much inonoy: you aren't sub , plclous. There was still a little brandy untouched and I gave It to her and pulled up a chair for her to lean against and waited. Presently her breath stopped coming In gasps and her Hps steadied themselves. She turned and looked at me and smiled a little tremulously, "I'm so sorry," she said. "Ton see, I've just been abducted." Her dark ayes held mine for a moment, and then she turned back to the Are as It she had said all there was to say. I pulled myself together. "Shall 1 call the police?" "Tho police. Oh, no. No. I don't think they could do anything about It. Anyway, I've escaped. Quit" her voice wavered upward and she caught herself and said without trembling "quite uninjured." I don't remembor that I had need to convince myself that she was tell ing me the truth: there simply wasn't any doubt In my mind. I said: "Isn't there something 1 can do? Shall I call a maid? The hotel manager? Anyone? Can't 1 do some thing?" I moved toward the bell and she must have thought I was mov ing toward tho door, for she turned around In fear again and said with a quick catching ot her breath: "pLEASB don't leave. Just for a r moment or two. I shall be all right again In Just a moment I you see, I'm out ot breath. I've been running. He was following me." Something carried me to the door and Into the corridor; It was not my reason or volition, tor I had no wish to become entangled In abduc tions. She reached the door to the stairway aa soon as 1 did and had both her hands on mine on the latch. She was frightened, for her face was white, and she looked through the glass In a terrlfled way, but she begged me to go back. "Do believe me. Do believe me. He's gone. He must have gone as oon as you opened the door and let me in. He wouldn't stay about wait- JACKSONVIIJJf. April 10. (8pl.)

Bberhart lng to be caught. Besldej, I can't thrust tills upon you. I said, "Nonsense," and lifted her binds and moved her not too gently to one side; she was fairly strong under her slimness, and determined. But as 1 wrenched the door open and the wind howled upon us she seized my arm again and cried, her lips near my ear so 1 could hear her through the tumult of wind and creaking windows and clattering shutters: "Won't you understand? It will be very difficult for me If you do this." I looked down the steps. I could see only as far as the first curve, and that but dimly. Of courso no one was there, and the courtyard was only alive with shadows. It she felt like that about It after all, the de cision mnst remain with her. She waa standing so close to me that 1 could feel her body tremble with cold. "fO back Into my room and try to get warm." As she hesitated, 1 added: "Oh,-I'll do as you say, of course." It satisfied her," after one searching look through the half darkness to find my eyes, and she went back to the light and the Are while I closed the door to the stair way. "Please don't look like that," she said. "As If 1 bad cheated justice. I don't know how to explain all this to you. It must sound -very lurid, thus far. But you must see that I oan't Involve you. And after all." she added unexpectedly, "one's abduc tion Is one's own affair." "It's very fortunate that It turned out In a way that permits you to sny that" She looked at me quickly. "Don't think I'm fllp.pant I'm 1'm badly scared. Perhaps In a mo ment I can thank you properly. Just now 1 should like to get good and warm at your nice Are. Ibo'i It curious that Just being cold can do things to your courage?" She stopped abruptly, as If that were at the moment too dangerous a topic, and eald quickly: "1 am Sue Tally. I'm staying here, or course. I'm Intruding unforgivably." I wanted to tell her she was not Intruding. I wanted to tell her I was feasting my starved eyes Just watching her. I wanted to tell her she was a little fool not to let me go after the man myself or call the police. I said my name wa. Jim Bundean and would she have a cigarette. She refused and watched me light, one. Her small nose sniffed a little. and she said in a pleased way: "Why, that's an American ciga rette!" 1 nodded. "You wouldn't believe how din cult It's been for me to get them. Ot course, here tn France It's easy enough, It rather expensive, but In Russia It was practically Impossible. At least, where 1 was." "You've Just come from there?" I had thought ber face looked softer, less rigid and white with terror, aa If talking of everyday matters were restoring ber poise. At that moment however, there was a sudden loud clap, and ber eyes leaped to mine, and she went white again. She looked helplessly about (Copyright, int. Uignon O.
