But Tally, whom Bundcan should suspect, from the evidence, has sent David Lorn to aid him. Grethe Lovsohiem, vtife of the hotel manager, calls in an effort to pump Sundean. and uses her personal charm generous ly, but with no result. Then Bue arrives, confessing her distaste of the iark corridors and strange noises of the old hotel. Chapter 18 8UE'S FEAR SUB took a long breath. Her hands had met and were faintly pink against the black Telvet of the coat he wore the same coat she'd worn the previous night, and the same lender scarlet ellppen with their shining silver heels were there on the rug with the flickering lights on them, too. 'Tre come to let jon know what I know. Because you aee " she hesi tated "you see, I'm afraid that the man was killed " she hesitated gain, and then the words came out In a little rush "because of me!" he said amazingly and looked at me again. "Because of you!" She nodded. "It's terrible, Isn't It?" she said. "Are you sure you want to heart" "Of course I want to hear," I said. "But don't be frightened. Don't look as It you were blaming yourself. Let's talk about It coolly and sen sibly." Her cheeks grew pink. "I'm being sensible," she said In dignantly, "But It Is dreadful. I hall never forget how he " She (topped herself abruptly and went on: "I'm not frightened. And I'm sot silly and nervous over nothing." "I know that," I said hastily. And I did know It There was courage In the Tory lift of her head on her lender white neck. "Tell me anything you wish, and don't feel that you are burdening me with your troubles. As a matter of fact, I'm In a rather unpleasant sort of flz myself, and I've got to get myself out of It And while I've got notions In plenty about all this business there are few things I know definitely. And I thought of course, that your experience of last night "Abduction," she said firmly, "Yes. That It was likely the mur der somehow concerned It Other vise one would be expecting too much of coincidence." "Very well," she said. "I'll have no more scruples, then. But It's a rather difficult story, and It has to do with things that one does not or dinarily tell strangers " , she paused over the word and chose an other "that one does not ordinarily tell friends. I don't know where to begin.'! "Tell me why you wore abducted," I said, liking, the word friends. "Do you know why?" "Oh, yes," she said at onoe. "I was abducted because of something I possess." She laughed rather sadly and continued: "I haven't any money. But I've got something that's worth, roughly, about Ova millions." She looked at me doubtfully and added: "Dollars, I mean." I believed her. I was a little tunned, but I believed every word he'd said. The amazing thing about It was that I believed It In spite of a voice which was saying Inside me: "That's right Believe her. She'll ay next that she's got some of the Susslan Crown Jewels and that a gang of Bolshevists are after her and them. And you'll bellove that too." "In that ease," I said, "you'd bet ter put It In a safe place." "VOTJ don't believe me," she said I quietly. "Yes, I do. I don't want to, Jut I do. I know that every word you've aid Is the truth." . . "And after I've gone," she said Tery quietly, "after I've gone, you'll .wonder how you came to credit It for a moment Well, I con Quite un derstand It" "Ton don't understand tn the Jeast" I said brusquely, I offered her a cigarette, lighted one myself at her nod, and threw the match toward the fire and said: "All right What next? As I say, you'd better put It In a safe place, whatever It Is." "Oh, It's In a safe place," she said. "And actually I've only got halt of it what I have Isn't worth a cent all by Itself. But you see this Is the The nrrt annual convention and conference of the Oregon State Building Congress will be held Fri day at the Oregon State Agricultural College In Corvallls, with represcnta tlve of all the various professions. Interests, vocations and organizations making up the Industry, LOOK FOR THE REDTAPE OPENER ty Mignoa C. Ebethart way of It, Mr. Sundean; I'm going to start really at the beginning. I'll make It as brief as I can make It, for It Isn't a pleasant story. "My mother, as I told you, died here last year. My father. In Amer ica, died some months ago, too. They had been estranged for years since I was three years old. Mother bad lived here and there, and I've al ways beon with my mother. That was one of the agreements. My brother remained with my father. He was four years older than I when our parents separated. "My mother" she paused and took a long breath as It she'd reached the most difficult part of the story "my mother was an extraor dinary person, Mr. Sundean. I didn't know and It doesn't concern this, why they separated, but whatever the reason was, my mother held It more Important than anything else In the world. More Important even than that I should ever see my father." "You mean to say you never saw him again?" "Yes," she said quietly. "I never saw him again. My mother was very bitter and remained so. My brother was to stay with my father, I with my mother. My mother had a small Income, but during her Illness we were obliged to use up most of the capital. i "She refused to the last to hold any communication with my father or brother; It was not easy for her to do that but she was she had extraordinary command over her self She paused thoughtfully and then continued In a brisker tone: "At any rate, my father was a wealthy man when he died. He wanted me to have half hla estate to share It with FranclB, that's my brother. And and this, of course. Is the kernel of the affair when my mother went away he gave me a a small " She hesitated and glanced at me and said: "I'm not to tell anyone what It was exactly. And, anyway, It doesn't matter, because It has no In trinsic value, it's only Its signifi cance that counts. I had part and my brother bad part and probably there are no others Identical with those we have in the world You see, of course, what It was for." "Identification," I said. "YES' My mother being what she was, my father knew that she would take steps to loose us from any possible connection with him. And that's Just what she did. We went under various names, I think, for a while, though I don't remem ber much of that; all I remember about those days Is the continual going here and there. "Well the point Is that my father didn't keep In touch with us my mother was determined that he should not. After I reached an age to notice things we used our own name, of courso, and I knew the whole story. Mother bad not been well, and I felt closer to her than to my father. Then she died." She paused again, and I put an other small log on the lire and gave her a little time. "She gave me, of course, an envel ope with her marriage certificate and my birth certificate and various things of that sort In It. And at last she told me to find my father. After a time I wrote: he was dying. "Francis, my brother, replied. He said there would be the matter of Identification. It seems that my fa ther had finally advertised and they'd had a number of letters from girls who said thoy were Sue Tally, He said that birth and marriage cer tificates could be faked, but that If I were really his sister there would be one moans of Identification. "I knew, of course, what he moant But I wrote In as guarded a fashion as he had written, saying only that I had It and not what It was. Then my father died; there was business for Francis to see to. Francis sent Mr. Lorn the detec tive, you know to see me. He evi dently reported that I appeared to be actually Sue Tally. And Fran cis" She smiled a little wryly. "Perhaps I'd better read you the let tor Mr. Lorn brought me from Francis." She unbuttoned her velvet cost Under It was some kind of black frock through which there were glimpses ot white. She reached nn dor the laces and brought out a let ter. Then she leaned over and held the letter toward me. (Copyright, Its!, Winn O. Eberhort) Sundaan resdt.
