glare Of light
h All too quickly the tikka whisked
out of the main channel of the city's
life, out beyond the Mohammedan
mosque and the Chetti's. hall and the
Christian chapel, and into the soft,
dense night of the COUNTRYSIDE
world Of darkness sparsely studded with
dim, glowing windows; and all too
soon, again, it swung off from the
highway into q private drive, crunched
over gravel and stopped before the
illuminated veranda of a native bum
,galorr.
O'Rourke got: down, discharged the
driver and assembled the steps, a little
puzzled to find no one waiting to vel
come him, whether Sypher. Miss Pyn-
sent, or at worst servant. Surely
he was expected But nobody
appeared. The grating tires of the
departing tikkagharry had made noise
enough to aDprise the household OF
the arrival of guest, one would think.
Nevertheless O'Rourke remained un-
greeted.
He stroked MS CHIN, perplexed, won
dering if by mischance the native
driver had brought him to the wrong
bungalow. But it was now too late to
call him back and make sure. And
this verandah, still and empty as it
was, softly lighted by lanterns depend
ent FROM its roof, was to him a small
oasis in a world Of darkness. With
out advice he was lost, could find his
way no other where. He would have
simply to wait until the house
hold came TO life, or until by his own
efforts he succeeded in quickening II.
He tried to do this latter to the
best of his ability by tapping a sum-
mons on the door-iamb. Through the
wire insect-screens a broad hallway
and a staircase rising to the upper
floor were visible. Limp, cool-looking
rugs conceived in pleasing color
schemes protected the hardwood floor
ing. To the right a door stood alar
and permitted broad shaft of light
TO escape from the room beyond. On
the other hand similar door, like
wise open, showed a DINNER glow.
Two other doors were closed ;
O'Rourke assumed that they led to
the kitchen Offices.
Having waited a few moments with
out event, the Irishman knocked a sec
ond time. and would have knocked a
third when he thought better OF 1t
and glanced at his watch. 1t was only
a. matter of ten. minutes after eight {:

Sypher and his niece were most prob

Between the desk and the safe man
lay prone and quite motionless. He
was dressed for a cersmonious dinner
and apparently had been struck down
in the act of. stepping from his desk
to the safe. For beyond all doubt he
had been murdered. The haft OF a
knife protruded from his back, buried
to It's hilt just beneath his left shout.

O'Rourke moved over 10 the body
and lifted it by the shoulders, turn
ing the face to the light. Then, with
low oath, he dropped it.
A small sound. SO slight as to be all
but indistinguishable, penetrated
O'Rourke's stupefaction. Ele stood
erect, locking about, telling himself
that the noise resembled as much as
anything the hushed cry of a child
sobbing in sleep, soft and infinitely
pathetic. Unable TO assign its source
elsewhere, he attributed it to the
stricken man at his feet; and in des-
perate hope that the pulse of life
might still. linger il Sypher's body, he
knelt withdrew the knife, turned the
corpse upon its back, and laid his ear
to its breast, above the heart. Be-
yond dispute, Sypher was dead.
