with his breath; but the bullet was
not for him. Instead, he heard his
friend scream and choke and half call,
half cough.
wallace" Santoine cried out; but
his voice was lost in the roar of an
other shot. This was not fired by the
same one who had just fired; at least,
it was not from the same part of the
room; and instantly, from another
side, a third shot came. Then, in the
midst Of rush and confusion, another
shot roared; the light was out again
then all was gone; the noise was out
side; the room was still except for
cough and choke as Blatchford-
somewhere on the floor in front Of the
blind manfred again to speak.
Basil Santoine, cropping with his
hands, found him. He was still con-
scious. Santoine knew that he was
trying his best to speak, to say just
one word-a name-to tell whom he
had seen and who had shot him; but
he could not.
Santoine put his hand over hand
closed tightly on Santoine's; they did
not relax but now remained closed,
though without strength. The blind
man bowed and then lifted his head.
His friend was dead, and others were
rushing into the room-the butler, one
of the chauffeurs, Avery, more men
servants; the light was on again, and
amid the tumult and alarms of the
discoveries shown by the light, some
rushed to the windows to the south
in pursuit of those who had escaped
from the room. Avery and one or
two others rushed up to Santoine;
now the blind man heard, above their
daughter. She was beside him, where
he knelt next the body of Blatchford,
and she put back others who crowded
about.
Father What has happened? Why
are you here? Oh, Father, Cousin
Wallacel"
HE is dead" Santoine said. "They
shot him! They were three, at least.
One was not with the others. They
fred at each other, l believe, after
one shot him." Santoines hand was
still in Blatchford's. ct heard them
below" He told shortly how he had
gone down, how Blatchford had en-
tered and been shot.
The blind man, still kneeling, heard
the ordering and organizing of others
for the pursuit; now women servants
from the other part Of the house
were taking charge of affairs in the
room There had been 40 signal

doing down here?" Blatchford started
forward.
What brought you here?' Santoine
demanded Instead of reply. "You were
running outside; why? What was out
there? What did you see?"
See? | didn't see anything-except
the window here open when I came
up. But I heard shots, Basil. What
has happened here?"
Santoine felt again the sickness at
his feet. '"Three or four persons
fought in this room, Wallace. Some
or one was hurt. There's blood on the
floor. There are two here l can hear
breathing; suppose they're hurt.
Probably the rest are gone. Get help.
| think those who aren't hurt are
gone. They must be gone But-get
help first, Wallace"
"And leave you here? Blatchford
rejoined. He had not halted again !;
the blind man heard his cousin still
moving along the wall. The electric
switch clicked, and Santoine knew
that the room was flooded with light
Santoine Strengthened, strained, turn
ing his head little better to listen.
With the flashing on of the light, he
had heard the sharp, involuntary start
OF Blatchford as he saw the room :;
and, besides that, Santoine heard
movement now elsewhere in the room.
Then the blind man heard his friends
cry. "Good God!"
what is it?" Santoine cried.
Good God! Basil! |"
who is it, Wallace?" the blind
man knew now that his friends inco-
herence came from recognition of
someone, not alone from some sight
of horror.
Basil 1t is-it must bel know
him 1t is"
A shot roared in front Of Santoine.
The blind man, starting back at the
shock of 1t, drew in the powder-gas
