With a start he turned to me-
Its true, l had forgotten 1t. 1t

He must be upstairs still,'
IF he is we'll soon rout him out.
Come on
Instead 1 laid hand upon his arm.
imploring him to ref1ect-that his
enemy was dead now-that we should
certainly be inyolved-that now or
never was our own time to escape. He
shook me off in a sudden fury of i'm
patience, reckless contempt in his
eyes, and, bidding me save my own
skin if I liked, he once more turned
his back upon me, and this time left
me half resolved to take him at his
word Had he forgotten on what err
rand he himself was here? Was he
determined that this night should end
in black disaster? AS 1 asked myself
these questions his match flared in the
hall: in another moment the stairs
were creaking under his feet, even as
they had creaSed under those of the
murderer; and the humane instinct that
inspired him in defiance of his risk
was borne in also upon my slower SEN
sibilities Could we let the murderer
go? My answer was to bound up the
creaking stairs and to overhaul Rafnes
on the landing.
But three doors presented tnem-
selves: the first opened into a bedroom
with the bed turned down but undis-
turbed; the second room was empty in
every sense: the third door was locked

His fiat foot crashed over the key

and in the sudden draught the landing
gas heeled over like a cobble in a
squall; as the flame righted itself I
saw a fixed bath, two bath towels knot
ted together-an open Window cow
ering figure-and Raf1es struck agnast
on the threshold.
.'Jack-Rutter?"
The words came thick and slow with
horror, and in horror heard myself
repeating them. while the covering fig
ure by the bathroom window rose
gradually erect.
It's your he whispered, In amaze
ment no less than our own; It's you
two. What's 1T mean, Raffies? I saw
you get over the gate; bell rang, the
place is full of them Then you broke
in What's it all mean?"
I'VE may tell you that when you tell

a gold thread under re lintel-and van

creak. creak, and cease, also for good.
We neither saw nor heard any more,
though we stood waiting on the grass till
cur feet were soaked with the dew.
I'm going in said Raffles at last. II
don't believe he saw us at all. / wish he

We trod gingerly on the path, but the
gravel stuck to our wet soles and
grated horribly in little tiled veranda
With 4 glass door leading within. 1t
was through this glass that Raffies had
first seen the light: and he now pro-

stinctively as it was proffered. In any
case it was these fingers that helped to
spread the treaciee on the brown paper

the key in the lock, and by making a
