He lit a ciga rette, and unfolded the evening pa per be bad been carrying In bis over coat pocket Whistling softly to him self, be turned to the society col umns. Harper went outside with Connally. The portico light shone down over the curved front steps and the white, unbroken blanket of snow that covered the lawn. "Use my footprints as a guldo for tbe path," Harper directed. "Make It about a foot wide and pile tbe snow neatly beside It. Don't scatter It around haphazardly." He went down tbe left curve ot the steps and along the left side of tbe walk, clear .BY WALTER C. BROWN. . .wtildor separated tbe two .,ultea. running diagonally from the elevators for a distance, then turn ing right at a slight angle, and straightening again to linlsb In a cul-de-sac, a brace of blgb, deep win dows, from which fell a sheer drop 10 the street, far below. Marklson, surprised, got up quick ly. "I didn't eipect to see you back here tonight. Sergeant. Nothing wrong, Is there?" "Plenty, but I'll tell you about that later. Have you anything to re port?" "Not a thing. Nobody has come up, nobody bas gone down. Tbe ele vators haven't stopped at this floor once since you left. It has been as quiet as a graveyard." HARPER pressed the bell at the door to Oufrecno's suite. His sus tained ringing brought tbe elderly Andrews, wbose dour face registered amazement at seeing tbe detective again. "Has anything happened, sir?" he asked Immediately. "Where Is Mr. Dufresne?" "He's In his room, sir." "Well, tell him that I've got to ite him, at once." "But I can't do that, sir. He's sleeping. He gave strict orders not to be disturbed for anything. Tbe door's locked. He always locks It" "You do as I say, Andrews!" of tbe other prints. Connally began to ply his shovel. The official car, In which Harper had come from Headquarters to tbe bouse on Powhatan Terrace, stood at the ourb, the uniformed chauf feur at tbe wheel. "How fast can you get back Into town?" Harper askedis be got In. "ph. about twelve minutes, or flf teen. Where do you want to go, Ser geant?" "The Austerllti." With tbe siren sounding, tbey went plunging on as speedily as was possible with the streets so snow-laden and tbe visibility so poor. But the chauffeur's most ex pert efforts could not make good bis estimate, tor It took blm exactly twenty-two minutes to reach the Austerlltt. Tbe detective walked through the ornate lobby and wml to the marble fronted desk. The night manager and his assistant, both of whom had been Introduced to blm earlier In the evening, greeted blm. "Has every thing been quiet?" he asked. The manager nodded. "All serene, Sergeant It's not very likely that we'll have any trouble In a place like this." HARPER turned away and walked over to tbe secluded corner where "Camera Bye" Jacoby hsd en sconced hlmseir, quietly watching from behind a spread newspaper. "How's everything, Jacoby?" "All quiet along tbe Potomac, Ser geant." Harper crossed tbe lobby and stepped Into an elevator. As the doors slid open ami Harper emerged on the twonty elgbtb floor, the two detectives on guard there turned to aee who had arrived. Marklson was one of them, the other a Central Dis trict man whose face Harper recog nised, but whose name he did not know. The topmost lloor ot the Auster litt was divided between two suites. The one to tbe left of the elevators was Dufresne's. the one to tbe rlgbl that of the Hon. Royal Sanders, financier and ex-Senator, who was abroad at this time. Ills suite bad been closed for months and the doors locked and sealed, "Well then, pound on It, shout break It down If necessary. This li Important I have no time to waste.' . Andrews looked shocked at tbeti suggestlona. "But my orders, sir? 1 was not to disturb him before morn Ing. not even If Mrs. Dufresne called up." Harper looked at the stubborn oil serving-man. "You do as I say. An drews, or I'll attend to It myself." Andrews' lean Jaws clamped tight with disapproval, but be nodded grudgingly and let. the room. Hap per followed and came to where tb butler stood, rapping and calllni Dufresne's name. "He won't answer, sir, and th door's locked." "Did he lock himself In there aftei I left?" "Yes. sir." "He hasn't come out since?" "No. el." "1 suppose he took that bottle ol brandy with him?" Harper took hand at the pounding, and between them they raised quite a hubbub on the stout wooden panels. But then was not tbe alightest response from within. The detective came to a decision. He strode over to the hotel tele phone. "Hello. This Is Mr. Dufresne's suite, Ssrgeant Harper speaking. . Send a man up with the master-keyi to the doors . . . yes and hurry." "Were there any telephone calli tonight?" the detective asked, while tbey awaited the arrival of the keya. "One. sir." "From whom?" "Mrs. Dufresne." "What did she ssy?" "She wanted to talk to Mr. Du fresne." "What did you tell berr "1 told her that Mr. Dufresne bad gone to bed." "What did she say to that?" Andrews tumbled around reluc tantly for an answer. At Isst be said. "She asked me It Mr. Dufresno had gone to bed with a bottle. 1 told her be bad. Sbe said 'Never mind, then,' and bung up." Harper smiled. "That's One, An. drews. It didn't hurt so very much, did II?" (Copyright. I9U. by Walter O. Brownl Monday, Hsrptr finds strsngt thlnat bfthind the loflksd door.
