PXOE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON', THTJRSD'AT, MAT A, 1933. T2ae Wli.'Be Cockatoo by Mignou G. Eberhart' SYNOPSIS! d peaceful hotel ft, Southern France euddenly hat be come a madhouae-a atranger ia murdered, Jim Bundean la ahot at in the dark, an abductor altnoet tnaket aieajj uith Bue Tally. Sue. Bundean, and the detective. David Lorn, believe it all ie part of a plot to ateal the token by meant of which Sue must claim her share of her father's milllone. Then ae Mar eel, the porter, ie about to tell Bun dean why he thinke Sue ie in danger. Marcet ie murdered. The murderer eecanee in the elevator, and the police euapeet Bundean, al though the murderer alio winged him Kith a bullet. Chapter 25 COOPED UP AGAIN STUCK, throughout the Question' lug, to the main (acts. I had been talking to Marcel. He knew some thing about the murder ot the un known man. He bad been about to tell me when be was shot Once during the proceedings the police searching the hotel returned, dragging a tat and volubly protest ing man with a long egg-like head and a tiny black mustache who turned out to be the cook, PauL Otherwise they found no one. And once the commlssalro ques tioned Mrs. Byng at tomfi length, since It developed that she was the first on the scene. , Mrs. Byng Insisted even at that moment In replying In French which seemed to be almost unin telligible to them; at length they threaten that fat cook Into serving Father Kobarts dinner, I'll bring yon a tray, because you're halt sick, but I won't serve tables In the din ing room, and that's fiat" "Make Lovschlem do It." "Lovschiem!" Bhe bad given me a glance that held a kind of derisive scorn and shrugged her shoulders and repeated: "Lovschlem! Here, 1 11 cut the meat for you.1 She did, and was gone. But It oc curred to me that Madame Orethe herself was quite capable ot under- taxing and executing Just such a cold-blooded mnrder as I had wit nsssed. she had plenty of cold nerve and was, I suspected, funda mentally an actress. Added to that, she had more brains In her little linger than Lovschlem bad In bis whole great hulking body. But there was no clue leading to her. And as to that, there was only Lovschlem's presence and the fact that I suspected blm of knowing the unidentified murdered man that led to him. . It was Just then that Lorn ar rived. I was glad to see him. My head cleared, and things were bet ter. He was very quiet The flery. quick-spoken, glltterlng-eyed man of the excited moments following the murder had again lapsed Into this ncobtrusive, toneless nonentity of a man. OW then," said Lorn. "Let's hear the whole story. Had Marcel managed to tell you any thing?" "Yes, But not enough. He only told me that some towels had been found the morning after the mur der, and that the towels had been used, but were In a supposedly empty room. That Father Robert's alibi was as false as his red beard looks. And at the last that Sue Tally Father Robart's alibi was as false as his beard looked. r ME 'N 1 Si 'eSfd' .... A got her into English, and the up shot of the thing was that she had seen no one. Bhe had heard the hots, and the ulse had wakened ber from her after-lunch nap. She had put on a shawl and hur tled out into the corridor and to ward the gallery running along the well of the lounge. She bad come, In other words, directly along the path which the escaping murderer must have taken. And she had seen nothing. At the last I began to think they were going to drag us all to the police court; and I felt so dizzy that I didn't much care. But they did Anally leave without taking me along, which was Incredible. It was true, ot course, that they left a guard ot several policemen and warned us all against trying to escape in a mannor that was, as Eue remarked later, almost as con clusive as arrest And It was true, too, that I was their principal sus pect; was, Indeed, their only sus pect hut the doctor told them flat ly that there was no need ot taking me to Jail Just then. ATER that night In my room, " with a Are going, and the re mains of a scrambled meal which had been prepared by the hysteri cal cook, whom Madame Orethe scolded and threatened and brow beat Into submission (It seemed, Lorn said, that he'd wanted to leave Immediately and never come back. "I don't blamo him," I inter jected with foellng) later, I say, I agreed with him. At the time things were rather hazy. Madame Orethe had brought me dinner trny, which surprised mo s little, set It down beside my chair, and hurried away. "Mrs. Byng wants her dinner In her room, too," she had said brief ly. 'She has chills and won't un lock her door until she looks through the keyhole. Miss Tally Is with Marianne, who's nearly out of her wits. I've got to go down and was in danger. I think It was her danger that made him talk at all. It was Just then that he was shot" "Do you mean to say It was be fore he'd managed to tell yon what the danger was?" 4'Yes." "Look here," said Lorn, looking curiously at me. "Maybe I'd better not stay now. You look feverish maybe that wound la worse than they think." "I'm all right But we've got to do something about Sue. She's wandering about the hotel any place she's with the maid now. We've got to watch her. We've got to plan "Did yon have a chance to tell her what Marosl had said?" "Oh. yes, I warned her. But she's got too much courage for her own good." "Yon don't do oredlt to Miss Tal ly's intelligence," said Lorn dryly. He was still watching me rather curiously, and I remembered that I'd called her flue and had probably shown a degree ot anxiety about her which he considered out of propor tion. But It didn't matter. "Get her," I Insisted. "Or I will. I've been sitting here thinking hor rors, and I don't like her to go about the place alone." "A road is never safer than after an accident has occurred," said Lorn sententlously. "However, If yon In sist " Talking ot It made it mors defi nite. 1 got up and went with him; I was still a little weak, but the hot dinner made me feel more like a man. We found her in Marianne's room, whither Lorn led me at once. He smiled t little as I exclaimed over his knowledge of the topography of me rambling old place. "That's my business, Sundean. he said.
