SOUNDS IN THE DARK
THE wind burled about the hotel
and banged the loose shutter,
and 1 said rather heavily:
"Then, again, there's the Identity
of the murdered man. His knowing
the secret way Into the hotel "
"It you mean that the Lovschlems
had something to do with my
with that affair, you are quite
wrong, said Sue warmly, with an
air of defence.
"They have been very kind to me.
They were kind to my mother, I
I feel sure It was not the Lot-schelms."
"Very well," I said. "But I saw
Madame Lovschiem, remember, at
the moment when she Drat saw the
murdered man. And she said to
Lovschiem: 'So, you've killed
him."
"That really means nothing, how
ever," Sue returned. "She might

"Stomach-ache," said Sue rapid
ly. "And rang tor Marcel and Mar
cel brought him hot water and
brandy and stayed with him an
hour." 1
"Exactly," aald the detective.
"And further," said Sue, "I let
your story of why you had gone to
the lobby and stumbled upon the
murdered man pass last night be
cause 1 honestly didn't know what
to do, and 1 could see they be
lieved you at the moment. It's true
I shrank from telling about that at
tempted abduction.
"The police would never believe
the thing as It stands. But I can
see now that I made a mistake, and
I'm going to tell then the truth
about It at once. 1 can give you a
complete alibi, Mr. Sundean, and I
intend to do so."
"Tou know, said Lorn In a bored
way, "there's no need for this dis
cussion. 1 was about to remind yon
that those alibis are of practically
no Importance. In view ot the re
cent discovery, I mean. The poi
son." He was right, of course.
After a moment Sue rose.
"It's late," she said wearily.
"And we seem to be getting no
where. It was a dreadful night,
and it's been a crazy day, and If
the wind doesn't stop blowing for
a while tonight I shall go quite out
ot my head." She paused and
smiled a little wryly and said:
"When shall we three meet again?"
"WHEN the hurly-hurly's done," I
said absently.
"Tomorrow," said Lorn prosaical
ly. "I don't wish to be over-encouraging,
Mr. Sundean, but I real
ly think you've given me something
to go on. You are sure you've for
gotten nothing?"
"There was on the landing a
broken hit of something that looks
like wax or rubber, and a brown
leaf," I said thoughtfully. "I've got
them nere."
We all looked at the shriveled
leaf and the bit ot bard wax in the
palm of' my hand, but they were
only a leaf and a scrap of reddish
brown.
Lorn Anally shrugged and dis
missed them.
"Nothing, probably," he said. "I'll
keep them in mind, however."
, As the glow fell to ashes,
I slept..
LARGEST STILL IN
E
HEMPSTEAD. L. I., May 1, (AP)
-Through the portals of the old Bel
mont mansion, which once opened
only to admit society's bluest blue
bloods, eight federal agents passed
early today.
They came out with eight prisoners
and the announcement that they had
captured the largest alcohol still ever
found In the New York area.
They found the 27-room house,
once owned by the late Mrs. O. H.
P. Belmont, social dlstators at the
turn of the century, had been con
verted Into a huge distillery. Its dis
tinctive feature was a polished still,
built to turn out 5000 gallons of mo
lasses alcohol dally, running Into 19
barrel vats set on parquet floors
among 10-foot plate mirrors.
Their elgbt prisoners, the agents
announced, were mere employes of
a leading alcohol dealer who was not
named.
SCAN APPLEGATE
APPRECIATE, May 1. (flpl.) One
more lookout will be added to the
Apple gate 'i list this year when the
building Is completed on Anderson
Butte. N. O. White of Med ford and
Ranger X. O. Port of the Star ranger
station on Big Applegate were In that
vicinity last week surveying for the
location of the lookout which Is to
be completed by July 1. The new
construction, which will take t&e
place of the secondary lookout that
has been erected at Anderson Butte
through the summer months for the
past two years, will be built on top
of a 30-foot tower.
Short Line Mall Loot
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. April 29.
(AP) Three bandits held up two
mall clerks as they were sorting
mall on an Oregon Shortllne train
here late last night and escaped with
a sack of registered mail.

he alarmed It he had acted so im
pulsively." "You may be right, of course," I
continued, meeting Sue's eyes. "But
It looks to me more as if she knew
the murdered man and Lovschiem
knew htm. And why did Madame
Lovschiem try to replace the dag
ger In the clock under my very
yes and suggest that we keep any
knowledge of It from tho police?"
"Did she do that?" said Lorn.
"She did," I said. Lorn made no
comment, and Sue finally said
thoughtfully, but very stubbornly.
It seemed to me:
"Perhaps Madame only wanted
to keep the hotel out of as much
scandal as was possible. And she
thinks you didn't do it, Mr. Sun
dean." "Nice of her, I'm sure," I said,
zasperated.
- Her eyes flared darker again, but
lorn Intervened.
"Y0U evidently don't know, Mr.
' Sundean, that tho police hare
Cone quite thoroughly into the mat
tor of alibis. The Lovschlems say
they were within sight of each
other and were actually talking
when the boll rang and Lovschiem
heard it Marlanno, the maid, says
he was sound asleep, and the po
lice had to bang -on the door ot
her room"
"Whore Is hor room?" I Inter
rupted to ask.
"On the second floor back to
ward the service stair. It was the
same with Mrs. Byng. The priest
says Marcel had been with him up
to a moment or two before Madame
Lovschiem knocked on the door of
bis room and begged him to come
to the dead man. Marcel agrees.
He turned suggestively toward
the door. It is strange now to
think how little - significance we
gave that small burden In the palm
ot my hand the small burden that
so nearly meant my death. But that
was later.
"Going, Miss Tally?" he asked.
"Yes," said Sue abruptly. "Good
night." "Walt. I don't like your going
through the corridors. Let me "
"Oh, I'm going now, too," said
Lr-rn. "I'll see that she gets to her
room all right."
"Look here, Miss Tally," I said.
"You had a very terrible experi
ence last night I want you to as
sure me that you" strange that I
stumbled over my trite words and
wished Lorn wore back In New
York "will take no risks."
"Thank you," she said slowly. "I
no I can't think I'm In danger
now." She put out her hand, and
I held It a moment, and Lorn said
briefly:
"I shall try to see that Miss Tal
ly Is In no danger. Good night, Mr.
Sundean."
The whole tangle In all Its con
tradictory aspects, whirled and
whirled through my mind. The wind
bowled outside, and the flames in
the fireplace gradually died to a
red glow. JuBt as the glow fell into
ashes I think I went' to sleep.
I woke suddenly.
I did not know what had awak
ened me.
And yet In the stillness and the
darkness and the cold of thai de
serted wing there was some sort of
life awakened. I heard It again. . A
slight noise ot some motion some
where. (Oopyrlght, III), Ulcnon Q. Sberhart)
