SEARCH AT NIGHT CHAPTER XVI i 'I'HJS fact that Mr. Herrick had told Andy the will was still in existence save Carol new hope. , Maybe she could find it Provided Andy didn't let Mr. Herrick destroy it first! She would have until Saturday morning. She was reasonably " sure of that. But where would i ahe look? Where, in a store like Dearborn's, would a man hide a Will? In the end she decided she would have to search the store at night. It was her only chance. ,ir And her time was limited. "A JDnee Andy gave an affirmative " roiswer and signed the contract, the will would be burned. Both Mr. Herrick and Andy would see to that. She must find It before it was destroyed. She must find it to night! No one would think it odd that ahe should come to the store to Jauike a late purchase nor would . ' hnthfr to notice that she eUan go out with the last shop pers. She could hide on an upper Boor, make her search and then let herself out a side door. Co It was -that easy. 'When the closing belt rang she was crouched Ibehind a little used case on the sixth floor. She had taken pains ,-to choose one where there were ino windows to be closed and no Bights 'to be turned oft tif After.- endless minutes she v" heard the last salesperson go jdown the stairs and dared to J",)etraighten up. The night watchman was her :-. Icnly worry now. He made his , ; ;rounds on the hour. She knew ' 'his schedule. It would be fairly ! istople to avoid him if she kept ,tab on her wrist watch. j 7, : Her plan was well in mind. iWhen Mr. Herrick found the will ,.i ;in the vault he would have car iried It to his office on the second floor. There he would have read It, realized its possibilities and hid Iden it somewhere neutral and i safe. Not in his own office. That would probably be the last place she would look. . jJAROL had remembered to bring a flashlight and used it now. She would search all the general office files first. Then the , small safes where various records ..'. were kept She would pry into "ihe desk of Mr. Herrick's as - sodates on the theory he might ..; , 'have planted it on one of them so he would be blameless if the will were discovered. Carol went about her task me ithodically. She was in the general offices, - (thumbing through the files when ,'She heard the watchman's steps. jv She had been too engrossed in her 4- work to remember the time. Panicky, she slipped behind the tm tall metal case and flattened her- self against it, then heard the man enter the room, saw the beam of his flash as he surveyed the emp ty desks. She held her breath. If she were caught, she'd be in H real trouble. Even the finding of fa the will could not explain this! ' The footsteps approached her - hiding place, hesitated. She was too frightened to think. She could only feel fear inching down her r. spine, freezing her. Then, miraculously, the feet " turned back! C1- Thank heavens! He hadn't seen ,,. her. She was safe again! She waited until he was gone JKn to the next floor before she risked i; moving, deciding not to be care- Hess another time. The flies contained no clew. "iWhere now? Mr, Herrick's office was about ithe only chance left It was im- vi probable that he would hide the ? will there but It wasn't impossl 'bls. She'd leave" no place un V : searched. wi . JTNE-THIRTy. Half hour be fore the watchman started his next round. Cautiously, she made her way to the second floor to Mr. Herrick's office. She would start with his desk. The drawers were filled with re ports, expense records and the usual miscellany of any office man. Extra pencils, a box of cigars, some paper clips, a note pad. She fingered them all, watching tor the folded white paper that would be the wilt Then she checked his personal files. Having read stories where valuable papers were concealed in the back of pictures on the wall, she began to remove those, look ing for evidence of tampering. She had the largest one in her hands when she heard the noise. It was only a rustle, a stir of air. But it was foreign to the silence of the quiet store. Carol stiffened, not daring to move to hang the picture back in its place, finally managed to lean over and push the button on her flashlight to extinguish its beam. Waiting she could hear the sec onds ticking on her wrist watch, feel the rasp of breath as it tore up and down her throat Her lungs seemed to swell and burst The movement came again, nearer this time. It was no long er a swish. It was the sound of leather treading on wood. It was stealthy feet A hand slid along the wall, feel ing for the switch. Then blinding light flooded the office. She was .caught! (To Be Concluded) Now, however, it seems clear that throughout the last two months, since Tojo became pre mier, Japan's mind was already made up for war.
