II be gan teith a olea from Sue Tally lor help against an unseen abduc tor: he goee lor the key of Sue's room, and finds a bodv in the halt of this almost emotu kronen hotel. Leaving a vriest vrauino over the body Sundean tollowe the lead of Itovsehiem manaaer ol the hofel. and begins a eeareh of hie own. Hie naehlight is shot from his hand; he olungee down a stair Into the dark court as the hotel liahte Kink out. He brushes againet hie assailant In the blackness, and three more shots are Itred at him. Then the lights CO on; court ie empty. Chapter Ten SUE'8 FRIGHT EXCEPT lor the witches and the wind and myself, the courtyard was empty. I crossed It again and had the good sense te find and put the discoverable pieces of my flash light into my pocket against the search the police would make, be fore I ascended the little Iron stair way and stepped again Into the cor ridor. The priest bad gone, and the lit tie porter wore an anxious look, ind Sue Tally was standing there beside him. 4 tvitJeieaermmemememm "Qo bring wood," 1 said. She looked at me, and 1 closed the door and shut out some of the wind, and she said, "Ob," In a gasp ing way. She looked stricken. The toe of her scarlet slipper was near tho dead man's hand, and I got the impression that she had been lean ing over him. 1 said to the porter: "Where Is Father Robart?" "I don't know. He went away. Aa soon as you loft ua he went away too." ' "You wore alone hero?" -"Yes." His wiry little shouldera moved In a kind of shudder, and 1 believed him, although that left the porter and the priest each to his own devices at a time when I was ' pursuing and being pursued In the courtyard below. I paused to consider whether the priest or the porter could have got by way of the corridor Into the , eourtyard In time to discover me still on the landing with my flash light and fired at me, and doolded that nelthor of the two bad had time to do so. Still, there It was: the prloBt or the porter or Lov achlem; I Inclined toward Lot achlem. The porter repeated: "But yes, monsieur. Until Miss Tally arrived." There were things 1 wanted to ask Miss Tally. I said to the porter: "What was the mattor with the lights?" HB shrugged and spread out his hands. "I do not know. It la very bad here without lights. There was one that moved, 1 think. 1 think he move but it Is only that I have fear." Sup Tally caught her breath, and the little porter added quickly with ar anxious glance at her: "There was only the wind. Me, I am not afraid." "Qo and" And wbatT I sought for an excuse. "Go and bring some wood, please. The trf In my room Is down. The police will eoon be here and will question us all." He gave me a sharp and rather dubious look but went. "Do you know this man?" I asked Sue across the thing on the floor. "To the best of my beliot," she eald slowly and so gravely 'that at the moment 1 did not note the curl' oua wording of her , reply, "I have Dover seen him before." "Then he wasn't the man who abducted yout" "1 don't know," she eald. "1 dont know. How could 1 know? I didn't see him." She was white and tired and frightened and lovely. I turned my eyes resolutely away from ber and said: "Why did you leave my roomT Why didn't you wait?" "I was afraid," she said to a small voice. "When you left, I was afraid. 1 followed you almost at once, thinking to meet you In the corridor. But when I reached my room the key was in the door. 1 can't think why I was so stupid It still seems that I left It on the key board." "How long did you wait?" I asked, despising myself and staring through the shadows at the lighted lobby. "Only a moment or two." "Long enough tor me to reach the lobby?" "Oh, no," she eald. "As a matter of fact, I was counting. I thought I would count up to three hundred, and 1 could begin to expect you back again. But 1 got to my first hundred, and the wind waa rattling things, and I ran out and along the corridor." Her voice broke, and she added more steadily: "Silly ot me. To be so absurdly afraid. I'm not as a rule." rSRRIBLY I wanted to believe her. But something Inside me kept saying coldly: Circumstantial. "Counting" and "afraid." Too cir cumstantial by far. And, anyway, you saw her leave your room. You saw her leave with your own eyes, and It had been far longer than ehe says. There were other things I had to ask, but 1 looked at her, and our eyes met,' and I waa silent again with all my doubts and halt-certain-ties and fears crowding and seeth ing Inside me. My hand went out toward her, and with a kind ot quiet directness that made the gesture the most natural thing In the world, she slipped her own In It, and 1 loathed myself tor doubting her, and then the courtyard was alive with short-caped figures and stiff little caps, all so active that there seemed many more than there ao tually were, and the policemen were tumbling np the winding stairs. Their examination of the body waa brief, and I could not see It tor tbe blue capes. It was only a tew moments before the Lovechlems and two of the police followed us Into the light and comparative warmth ot my room where we stood In an agitated group. ' From the first 1 was at a disad vantage owing to my Inability to recall any but a word or two In the French language. It was a disad- vantage ot which Madame Aretha took the fullest opportunity; or at loast, so I've always suspected. That night the police let me al most alone beyond a tew painstak ing questions as to how and when I had found the murdered man. Tbe querlos were made by a slen der young man whose eyes were remarkably bright and quick, and who spoke very slow and distinct and remarkably ldlomatlo Englls' to me and then relayed my replies to an older man with a gray impe rial and mustache, who was the commlssalre do police and In charge ot the affair, and who waa unnecessarily pompous about It (Copyright, list, Uignon O.
