Chapter 1J MORE MY8TERY fJB WAS right, at course. It was neither the place nor the time for the talk we must have. And, any way he had told me the main fact, although hla reply was ao unex pected that It left me stunned and incredulons. Poisoned. But the murdered man bad been stabbed. I had found him, and I had Been the ugliness of the wound. I'd been obliged to wash my hands of the blood from It. Mechanically I crossed the court yard, passed under the swaying light, and entored the lobby. LoYschlem was bending; over the desk. The cockatoo clucked, and Lot chlem looked up, and It was curl ous to see how his eyes leaped when he saw me and how flabby his cheeks looked all at once and how bis. fat bauds moved aimlessly about the desk. Finally Lorschlem said: "How did yon get ontt" His Tolce was husky. "Walked, Lovsehlero. Walked, ril hare some dinner at once, please." His flabby hands morea neipiess ly, and the cockatoo, attracted by uiluk It Is as well U we aren't seen together." She looked confused and embar rassed. 1 was suddenly aware that I was sill) holding ber hands rather tightly and that she was trying to withdraw thorn. I released them and said quickly: "I didn't mean to say I didn't mean " I floundered and finished abruptly: "I don't understand you." "All this seems silly and purpose fully mysterious. But It Isn't Inten tional. I you see, I'm In an awfully queer sort of affair and can't help myself." "See here," I said. "Lorn Is com ing to my room right after dinner. I've ordered a fire, and It will be warm. Can't you come there, too?" "The trouble Is" she stopped, and when she continued her voice was very sober "the trouble Is, 1 don't like Involving you In any danger." Her voice rather than ber words carried conviction. 'Ton don't mean to say you ore In actual danger?" "I hope not," she said quietly. "But I'm rather after, that affair . llfttwiiiiir""TiiiJj sonu glint- of Jewels, cocked, his bead knowingly on one side, made a kissing sound with his tongue, and sidled toward tho hand nearer him. "You ean have It served In my room," I added airily. "And see that there's a good fire." With that I left him, still staring and flabby, with the cockatoo ex amlnlng the ring susplcously and clicking his tongue In an experi mental fashion. The corridors were empty and darkish and long. But there was a (loam of light below the door la beled nineteen, and I paused besldo It and hesitated and finally knocked lightly. It opened In a moment, and Sue. ber bright hair aureoled against the light behind her, stood on the threshold. "It's you I" she erled softly and happily and stretched out both her bands, and as I took them she said with a little catch In her voice, "Oh, I'm glad." VOOR Mr. Lorn managed to get me out," I said. "It was good of you to send him." "The whole thing was absurd," .ha said vigorously. "They had no j right to arrest you like that. But ho isn't my Mr. Lorn. And what did be do?" "The Mr. Lorn, then. Whoever he is, be managed It very olevorly. Al though I don't know exactly what happened yet. See here. Isn't there oma place whore we can talk? Come downstairs to the lounge." She hesitated and after a mo ment said, as If she'd come to a decision: "I do want to talk to yon. Thore are things I want to know. But I How do you know, Marcel?" ... of last night, I'm rather doubtful. I'm being mysterious again I Yes, I'll come to your room In an hour." "Good, then. But I want to tell you " 'OOMEONE Is coming," Bhe Bald. 3 "You must go." "I liked your note," I said hur riedly, and she elosed the door, and I wont on At, the corner of the pas sage I glanced over r.y Blioulder. Mrs. Byng was standing In the ball. She had one hand outstretched to ward a door leading to a room not far from Sue's, and she was watch ing me. I felt an Impulse to wave cheerfully in her direction but re strained It and turned the corner. Marcel brought me dinner and hovered ovor me while I ate. With the soup he said that he was glad I had returnod; with tho fish he said he had feared I should be arrested, and by the time I had reached a liqueur he was tnlklng quite frank ly and openly of the murder. He was telling me of how the police bad soarcbed my things during the morning, when I lntorrupted: "But now do you know al! this, Marcel?" "There aro ways to honr," he Bald oheorlly. "Mo, I llko to know what goes on." He stopped, and his face darkenod a little. 'I know what I know," he said. "But sometimes one does not at once undoraiand what one bears. Or sees." I sat up at that. "Do you moan yon know some thing about this murdor?" I asked dlroctly. - At once I realised that If, which I doubted, he actually did know something, I had made a mistake In questioning him ao promptly and so directly. Ills face tightened. "Ah, no, no, no, no, no, monsieur he snld torrentlnlly. "Nothing. Noth ing." But he remained thoughtful, and though I said ono or two casual thlnus with a view to encouraging his former cheerily conversational mood usually altogether too easy with the vivacious little portor be did not rise to the temptation. It wasn't long aftor he'd gone that there was a knock on the door. I sprang up, thinking It was Sue Tally. But it was Madame Orotho. (Oopyrlnht, ltS3. iflcmon O.

Curtailment of frleght truck- In? biulnea between Creocent City and Rogue river valley points 1 fore seen here unless adequate provisions are made for the resumption of nor mal traffic conditions over Myrtle creek bridge, which collapsed last week. Tire Myrtle creek bridge, which Is a timber truss structure, was built by convict labor at the time the state camp was maintained near that site and was considered only a temporary affair. However. 1t was dolled up with a coating of asphalt and made to care for traffic, since a permanent bridge across ti stream will Involve the expenditure of about $100,000. The state engineers failed to take Into consideration the great increase In freight hauled over the route and the structure finally gave way after being In use for the past couple of years. Fortunately the bridge did not collpase entirely, but some of the stringers gave way while heavily loaded oil truck was passing across It. Light traffic Is being permitted The local chamber of commerce la advocating temporary repairs to the Myrtle creek bridge, to accommodate all traffic for this season and Vie construction of a new permanent bridge this winter.
