He peered into Lennox's bedroom first. The room was unoccupied. Then the floor of the corridor creaked beneath his step; and he knew noth- ing further was to be gained by wait ing. If LennoX suspected his pres ence, he might be waiting with aimed rifle as he opened the door of the liv- ing room.
 He glided faster. He halted once mOre-a moment at the living-roOm door to see if Lennox had been dis turbed. He was lying still, however. so Cranston pushed through.
 Lennox glanced up from his maga- zine to find that unmistakable thing, the barrel of a rife, pointed at his breast. Cranston was one of those rare marksmen who shoot with both eyes open-and that meant that he kept his full visual powers to the last instant before the hammer fell.
 'I can't raise my arms" Lennox said simply. "One of 'ein won't work

 If were tn one piece,'' Lennox an- swered him very quietly, instead of a bundle of broken bones that can't lift its arms. I'd get up off this couch. unarmed as am, and stamp on your lying lips"
 But Cranston only laughed and tied Lennox's feet with a cord from the window shade.
 He went to work very systematical- ly. First he rif1ed Lennox's desk in the living room Then he looked on all the mantels and ransacked the cupboards and the drawers. He was haunting and calm at first. But as the moments passed, his passion grew up on him. He no longer smiled. The rodent features became intent; the eyes narrowed to curious, bright slits under the dark lashes. He went to Dams room, searched his bureau drawer and all the pockets of the clothes hanging in his closet. He up set his trunk and paved among old letters in the suitcase. Then. stealing like some creature of the wilderness, he came back to the living room.
 
 he had left him. He lay instead on the floor near the fireplace: and he met the passion-drawn face with entire calmness. His motives were perfectly plain He had just made a desperate effort 10 procure Dams rifle that hung on two sets of deer horns over the fire place. and was entirely exhausted from it. He had succeeded in getting down from the couch. though wracked by agony, but had been unable to lift himself up in reach of the gun.
 Cranston read his intention in one glance. LennoX knew it, but he sim ply didn't care. He had passed the point where anything seemed to mat ter.
 ''Tell me where it is,'' Cranston or dered him. Again he pointed his rifle at LennoX's wasted breast.
 ''TeII you where what is? My money?"
 You know what I want-and it Failing found on the ridge. I'm through fooling, Lennox- Dan learned that long ago. and it's time you learned 1t now
 "Dan learned 1t because he was sick. He isn't sick now. Don't presume too much on that"
 , CranStOn laughed with harsh scOrn. But that isn't the question. I said I've wasted all the time I'm going to. You are an old man and helpless; but I'm not going to lei that stand in the way of getting what I came to get. They're hidden somewhere around this house. I've watched. and he's had no chance to take them into town I'll give yOu-iust five seconds to tell me where they're hidden
 And I give you" Lennox replied. | "one second less than that--to go to h-lli"
 Both of them breathed hard in the 1 quiet room. Cranston was trembling l now, shiverfng just q little in his arms 1 and shoulders. Don't get me wrong, 1 Lennox," he warned.
 And don't have any delusiOnS in re [ gard to me- either," LennoX replied. I've stood worse pain from this acci- lent than any man can give me while 1 yet live. no matter what he does. If 'Ou want to get on me and hammer ne in the approved Cranston way, I ant defend mySelf-but you won't ret civil answer out of me. I'm used O pain, and 1 can stand it.
