BYSOP81B: But Tally must
identity herself to her brother
Francis by mean ot a token, with
out which she cannot claim her
share of her father1 great fortune.
After a series ot murders and
shootings, the token has been
stolen. But Sue "bluffs" Francis,
demanding that he first show his
identifying token. Meanwhile Jim
Bundecn, whose regard for Sue has
mounted with the danger in which
shs has been, is warned bv David
Lorn, a detective employed by
Francis Tally, that the volice have
new reasons for suspecting him of
murder. Lorn depart with a mys
terious hint that Bus had best de
lay negotiations with Francis Tally
for a few days.
.Chapter 43
THE OIVI8ION
WH WERE) to become Immediate
ly ranged In two different
camps. And it happened just then,
when the muffled aound ot rolcea In
the parlor became more definite and
clear and all at once Sue swept
angrily into the lounge.
Francis, angry too and showing it
less pleasantly, followed her. His
face also flushed, his eyes were nar
row back ot those studious spec
tacles, his hands were working
nervously.
Sue said, every word falling like
a brittle little, icicle and yet mar
ralously polite at the same time:
1 hope you don't mind my telling
Mr. Lorn and Mr. Bundean of our
talk, Francis. You see," she turned
to me, "I have asked Francis if he
will permit me to have a lawyer
represent me. I feel"
"No reason for it at all," burst in
Francis. "1 came here from America
to sottle things with this girl To
give her a chance at five million
dollars and she holds back and
prattles about a "
"I beg you sot to interrupt me,
Francis." I was faintly amused to
note that as Francis grew angrier
Sue grew sweeter and cooler, but
It was most infuriating sweetness
and coolness.
"I'm most grateful to my brother
for such an effort," she went on.
rThough perhapB it might have
been made sooner before 1 had
been subjected to " Her sweet
ness faltered a little there, and she
wept on quickly, preferring not to
.talk, of the horror that had dogged
Her days.
"At the same time, I can't help
feeling that just because of the
amount ot the money Involved, it
la only fitting and suitable to ask
a lawyer to conduct negotiations
for me."
Francis's eyes were very iiarrow;
t heard a slight rustle behind me,
and I saw him dart a quick glance
In that direction, and I had no
doubt Madame Orethe had made
her appearance.
"Come now, Rue," said Francis
rather pleadingly. "All you need to
do is let me look at the token you
have. It it is what it is supposed to
be, the thing is done. Do be sen
sible." "But, Francis," said Sue very
sweetly, "Is there any particular
reason why you refuse me a law
yer?" There was an Instant or two of
(Hence before Francis's gathering
rage rose to his lips. Sue attacked
so Bweetly, so coolly so gallantly
from my own viewpoint, because I
knew ot her empty hands. I knew ot
the infirmity ot her ground.
"Oo you mean," demanded Fran
els, "that you don't trust met"
"What a thing to sayt What a
thing to aayl" cried Sue, giving a
oft little ripple ot laughter that
stung Francis and that actually
hocked me In Its deceiving sweet
ness. All women can shock you that
way,
'"TJHBN," said Francis, again
glancing past me to where,
with a quick following Took, I saw
Madame Gretbe standing, motion
less, her green eyes shining
"then," he sold heavily, "you do
trust met"
Then Sue, very suddenly, and in
totally easy and meaningless
rolco, said an extremely odd thing.
She Bald, her eyes then on Fran
els, and her voice quite flat and even
a bit bored:
"Why should I not trust yout For
now we see through a glass darkly,
but then " And there she stopped
and carefully arranged her crimson
(cart at her throat as If It had her
entire Interest. But her eyes through
their dark eyelashes watched Fran
cis. Francis did not speak. He only
looked angry and baffled, and his
eyes sought Madame Grothe again.
There was a swift little swish of
aytlk that broke the singularly tense
moment Orethe stepped forward
and passed her round silken arm
through Suo'a.
"Don't yen think you are a little
overcautious, my dear?" she said

smoothly to Sue. "Forgive me tor
speaking, but I could scarcely help
hearing you, you know. For your
own good I must say this. It is bet
ter for you to do as your brother
wishes. Follow the terms ot your
father's will and prove your iden
tity to your brother and let him
take you away. It la only a matter
of form. And while 1 have hesitated
to speak before, lest 1 make you
feel unwelcome in this, your only
home still still you must see
what what a thing you have
brought upon us all."
She paused. I was glad to see
that Sue was sternly unmoved. But
I think she was still doubtful, still
loath to discredit Gretna's motives
In her own mind. And Orethe said
suavely:
Think what's waiting tor you.
dear. Five million dollars five mil
lions. The things you can buy. The
things you can do."
It was Just then that Sue's long.
purposefully blind loyalty col
lapsed. She removed her arm quiet
ly trom Madame Orethe's clasp.
"Dont think for a moment.
Madame Lovachlem," aha said
sweetly, "that I shall forget whai
you've done. And I'm sure my
brother will feel most grateful to
you In your attempt to smooth the
way before us."
GRETHHJ looked placid, then
faintly puzzled, then suddenly
comprehending. Her white lids
dropped over her secretive eyes,
and she said gravely, as it taking
Sue's words at their face value:
'Don't thank me, my dear. I've
only done what 1 could do."
"I'm afraid I'm not thanking
you," said Sue quite frankly. "You
see, it wasn't altogether kind of
you, to keep what my my mother
told you a secret from me. It was
a reticence which is not of a nature
to maintain my confidence in your
friendship. You and your husband
are the only people In Armene be
sides myself who knew of the cir
cumstances ot my Inheritance."
I think Sue had not actually In
tended to say so much. Knowing
she must fight whether she liked
or not, she struck a little too blind
ly, choosing in her haste a weapon
whose sharpness she did not quite
comprehend. But Its very unexpect
edness frightened Madame Orethe.
Though, to be sure, only a close
observer might have caught her
fright In the sudden leaping of her
eyes, In the plscatlve manner In
which she addressed Sue and put
an end to the situation with less
adroitness than one might have ex
pected ot her.
You are tired and unstrung,"
she said. "Otherwise you would not
speak In such a way to me. To your
only friend. To "
'I have other friends," said Sue,
cutting Into Orethe's soft speech
without visible compunction. ,
The trouble is we are all tired
and nervous and upset, and no won
der. I'll order tea, and we'll all feel
better." She walked with a swish
of green silk to the bell and pushed
It with her square, vigorous white
thumb.
Blissfully Sue's little smile
flashed. I liked her being able to
achieve It. She sold with a quiver
of mirth in her voice: "I'm not quar
reling. I'm only tolling you what I
think. I'll go and call Mrs. Byng if
we're going to have tea. She won't
want to miss It."
She turned quickly toward the
stairway, and Lorn started to fol
low her, but I sprang ahead ot him.
I'll go along," I said, and we
were on the stairs before anyone
could stop us. I caught a green
flicker from Orethe's eyes and
heard her saying sharply some
thing about Miss Tally's new ac
quaintance, and then we passed
around the landing.
We turned from the lounge well
with Its blank galleries and tiny
group waiting down below and
went along to Mrs. Byng's door. Sue
knocked. Mrs. Byng did not reply
immediately, and I said In a low
voice: "Don't knock again for a mo
ment. I want to talk to you."
She glanced np and down the cor
ridor. Away at the end a police
man's blue coat and tight trousers
came Into view. She said:
"Here in my room."
She opened the door. I've never
known why I remembered In that
hurried moment to enter It first In
order to look about. At any rate,
that'a what I did while she stood
thero la the corridor.
The room was empty. No one was
about It was only the quivering of
the door to the massive wardrobe
that caught my eye.
