PXGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, MAT 30, 1933. wm W Iff M MM v A" Tlae Wliile Cockatoo by Mignon C. Eberhart ' Chapter T SUE'S HIDING PLACE IFLTJNQ myself toward her, and grasped her arm, and wrenched the pistol from her hand, "You are Ill-fitted for this," I said, pi know what your purpose la here, tot oourse. I auppose they promleod you a lot of money to Impersonate JJIbs Tally later on." She looked at me sullenly. She ald with a touch of defiant triumph: "I've aeen you, too, when yon didn't know It. I followed you all over the hotel yesterday afternoon, end you didn't know It, But yon nearly caught me there at the door of tV It waa this girl, then, not the trios L I shoved the letter I still held crumpled In one ha'Jd Into my pocket and said: "What have they done sitii MIbs Tally?" "Don't you wish you knew?" she said with more spirit than she'd yet displayed. "Yes," I said truthfully. "Tell me, was It Lovschlem who killed Stravsky and Marcel and the priest?" Her eyes shone with hate, and she was all at once powerful and vital. She said: "If It was Lot Bchiem, I'll kill him, and he knows t" and that girl talked and talked, and I waa tired, and you heard me take a long breath and " I, cut Into her swift, confused ex planations. "Coma with me.' "Oh, no not to the white Salon. They'll Mil me, too." "No, I'm not taking yon there. Just to a room down the hall. Come, You'll be safe."- I took her to Mrs. Byngs room. When Mrs. Byng opened the door, I simply thrust the girl Inside. I said: ''I can't explain. Keep this girl here. Don't let her call anyone. Do you know how to shoot?" Mrs. Byng was superb. She lifted her nose, gave a delighted sniff, and said: "Give me the gun." I ran Uii-Jgh che corridors, hop ing at every turn for the sight of a gendarme. There was none. Then I was at the door of the White Salon. I laid a cautious hand on the knob, and holding my re volver before me tried to peer Into the darkness of the room. There was no sound, and It was entirely black. I went to the fireplace. My eyes were becoming accustomed to the dark, but I longed tor some kind of light I could see no closet I wrenched the'plstol from her hand. I said slowly: "So It was Stravsky. He was your connection " "Don't speak of him," she crlod. "He was a man. Lovschlem's a Jellyfish." "Look here," I said, feeling rather as It I had unleashed a revengeful panther. "Tell me where they've got Miss Tally, and I'll It I can I'll help you out of this." . "Yon may be right" she said finally, giving me a black look, "But I don't know. They promised me a lot of money." "What good will money do youf 6travsky can't be brought back." It was not as brutal as I thought It might be. She was fully aware that life was still to be lived, and that inoney was not a bad thing. She said again: "They promised me a lot of ponoy." DARED not wait I dared not tompt her with the necessary pare, i "What's your name?" "Ellse." I think she was rather accustomed to being beaten In life's struggles, for she said It dully. "Tell me at once whore they've got Miss Tally. Hurry up." Probably I had strengthened what must have been a growing distrust of the Lorschloms. Which fact gave a curious sidelight on her life. She aid, watching me: "She'B In the White Salon, I sup pose, I was there. Grethe and Lov schlem pushed me, made me hide that night" Ellse said, "Lovschlem"; Lov echlom, then, was not the man In the courtyard. I said: "What do you mean? Quick." She hesitated. "In the fireplace. It's lust an old cupboard up above the ledge, I was there this morning when you found the priest" "What! Did you know the body was there?" "Nol No! I swear It!" Her words burst out In a rapid flood. "I was In the north wing, and I heard you and Sue Tally coming, and I bid In ithe White Salon. First I was going to get behind a curtain that's when jl dropped my handkerchief. But you "Sue," I whispered In the silence "Sue." There was a little rustle from In side the wall about the height of my head. I bent over and rolled up the fire screen. The space seemed very large. I ducked under the mantel breast I groped Into the darkness, met cold wall and a ledge. And my groping hand suddenly encountered two feet bound together at the ankles. It was Sue. She said, when I removed the gag, that she wasn't hurt but she clung to me, and I could feel her heart beating, and her breath. All a( once I realized that we must got out of the Ill-omened room. I took her cautiously Into my room next door. I put her In a chair she was trembling with cold and with the reaction of released terror. I took my heavy flannel dressing gown anJ put It around Sue, and I took her wholly Into my arms and held her, and I kissed her and kissed her and was never so happy In my lite. SHE told me briefly how the Lov nhlAma tiftif haan th... In th corridor beside her room. She'd gone to turn on the light and Lov schlem had simply clapped his fat hand over her mouth and lifted her Into the corridor and some woman flashed inside the room and Grethe whispered sharply that it Sue screamed, the woman who'd gone into Sue's room would kill Sundean. "I have the token," I said rapidly. "It was hidden In the priest's room." "You have" She paused. "But how did you know what It was? It can't be you don't know." She watched me unroll the small thin paper. I held It toward her, and she gave a Uttle gasp, "Why you " It was a sort of gasp. "This this Is the token but it Is not my bait It Is my brother's halt." "Then your brother " "The priest was my brother. The priest was Franclsl" fCopyrlfM, If Jl, llleno 0. tbartiart) The whits oookxoo, tomorrow, contributes toward a solution.
