stood waiting for their footballs
to fade. My moment had come.
Rush was speaking and wagging
his dreadful head.
"Sheba's the goods" he murmured.
"Look at that mouth. Here, I'm
goin' to ave a closeup. Gimme
that-torch."
Between us we bungled the bust
ness, and the torch fell down and
went out. let him grope and find
it. AS he stood up, grunting, took
him fast by the throat and drove
my knife into his heart.
He gave one frightful convul-
sion. And then I knew he was

the torch. When I had found it, /
switched it on to the bench. This

Of apprehension lest he should es
cape. The bare thought of such an
outcome made the sweat start On
my brow. Live-after what he had
done? Live-to walk out of that
room and do it again?
/ pulled myself together, slid my
pistols into my pockets and set
about hosting Dewdrop out of my
way.

the room. She must be there some
where.
And then all at once l knew
where Helena was.
She had fled for the staircase
turret when Rush and l, between
us, had dropped the torch.
Rush had locked the door of the
hall, not the door of the secret'room.
I took a step toward this-and
stopped in my tracks.
The doorway by which had en-
tered had disappeared.
Helena was safe-for the moment.
So much l saw. Gas a matter of
fact, she was saved; but at that
time I did not know that no one
within the room could open the
door she had shut.) And Rush was
dead, and Pharaoh and Dewdrop
knew nothing of what had occurred.
In the twinkling of an eye my posi-
ton had been reversed. If could
not make an end of the two, I de-
served to be shot.
/ stepped to the. cut through
which Pharaoh and Dewdrop had
passed.
AS had supposed, this gave to
a winding stair-no doubt of con-
siderable depth, for though !
strained my ears, I could hear moth
ing at all.
Determined to leave nothing to
chance, I proceeded to lay my am
bush with infinite care.
Pharaoh must find nothing wrong
until too late. To all appearance
the room must be as he had left it.
The bench, however, could be seen
from the head Of the winding stair.
must therefore suggest to Pharaoh
that his captive had merely moved.
This was easy enough. Next to
the bench stood the fireplace, which
jutted into the room. On the other
side Of this was q chair with it's
back to the wall. If my torch were
trained upon this, Pharaoh would
receive the impression that his cap
tive had changed her seat. for the
chair was masked by the fireplace
and could not be seen from the cut.

CHAPTER XII
Helena.

! Dewdrop, l had cast away
the element of surprise: but that
was not all the mischief that /
had done, for the roar of the heavy
pistol had made me completely
deaf.
When l had fired in the forest,
so savage was the report that four
or five minutes went by before my
full hearing came back: but here,
within such four walls, the shock
Of the violent explosion had ap-
palled the drums of my ears.
To listen for Pharaoh's coming
was, therefore, but waste of time,
and, since he might arrive at any
moment, made my preparations as
swiftly as ever l could.
The chair on which Rush was
seated I slowed to the left, so that
the beam of his torch fell full on
the cut in the wall. l then took
Dewdrop's torch and studied the
room, marking the furniture well
in case I must move in the dark.
Then / slid the torch into my
pocket and lay down behind the
great table of which I have spoken
before.
This was pedestal table of
carved, gray oak. Between the two
pedestals there was a knee-hole or
archway three feet wide by some
twentysix inches high. Looking
through this, l directly commanded
the cut, while the pedestal offered
good cover on either hand.
I ventured to settle myself with
the greatest care, for I knew that
if l possibly could 1 must kill my
man before he had entered the
room: if Pharaoh could contrive to
come in, the advantage 1 presently
held would be utterly lost, for,
though we should, in a sense, be
fighting on even terms, Pharaoh
was an expert at murder, but I
was no more than a resolute anna
teur.
Since the cut was so narrow,
the gauntlet he had to run was ex-
tremely strict and, unless my pistol
misired, did not see how he
could do it and save his life. So 1
lay very still from force of habit
straining my useless ears with my
pistol-hand on the plinth Of the
pedestal-table and my eyes on the
cut that was waiting to frame my
dead.
After a little, I found myself
thinking how soft the carpet
I do not know how long I wait
ed, but the first intimation l had
of Pharaoh's approach was the sud-
den roar of his pistol as he fired
at and shattered the torch.
l fear this tale is record of
bad mistakes, but when l was lay
ing my ambush I made the worst
Of them all. have no excuse to
offer. l think a child would have
seen that he must so place the
torch that, while it Illuminated the
cut, it could not itself be seen
from the head Of the winding stair.
Be that as it may, the horrid
shock and the darkness took me
aback, and when / fired at the cut,
fred an instant too late. Pha-
raoh's answer came swift as flash,
and his bullet went through my
knee hole to lodge in the wall.
And then-silence.
We were both of us deafened, of
course; and, remembering that, I
at least had the sense to move.
An instant later I was standing
behind Rush's chair.
And then for the first time that
night I felt the stab of something
knew to be fear.
I was as good as blindfolded,
my ears were stopped: four walls
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1936-04-16
The only question was how to sup

For moment / stood thinking.
Then / perceived that, unless l
were to flout reason, this Office
must devolve upon Rush.
Anyone leaving the stair with
torch in his hand would be almost
sure to illumine the opposite side
of the room. The corpse must there
fore be moved in any event. And
If l could grid it into the semblance
Of life.
In two or three minutes the girls
~ business was done, and Rush
was seated upright in high-backed
chair, with an arm along one of the
chairs and the torch in his hand.
His belt and mine and some cord
found in his pocket had done the
trick. His head had proved trou-
blesome, but l took stick from
the CRATE, buttoned this into his
waistcoat and propped it like that.
The effect was hideous, for the
corpse was poking it's head. But
that was beside the point At the
first blush, not even the mans own
mother would even have known he
was dead.
Here I should say that, before l
had set Rush up, had taken away
his pistol and Helena's master key.
Once again I took care to listen
at the head of the winding steps
and heard no sound.
To pick my own position was easy
enough. had only to take my stand
behind the panel-door that belonged
to the cut. This was wide enough
to conceal me.
l decided to use a pistol, for the
bullet was swift and sure and at
quarters so close / could not pos
sibly miss. For all that, / took the
knife, too.
And then at last was ready, with
the knife at my hip and a pistol in
either hand.
had to wait full five minutes
before l heard sigh on the wind
ing stair.
The sigh grew to a murmur, and
the murmur into that unmistakable
sound-the regular scuffling of feet
that are mounting a flight Of stone
steps. The footballs we're hasty.
The two were mounting apace.
Why this was could not imag-
ine Why should they run? The
stars were fighting against them.
But for their haste, I should not
have heard them so soon.
The rapid, regular shuttle began
to grow clear. -.
Unless they were moving as one,
the shoes Of one of the two were
rubber-soled, for only one set of
of footballs came to my ears.
In that case
And then I saw the glow of
torch.
Two steps more, and I heard
their heavy breathing.
The stars against them? All the

self on my side. The two would be
spent and breathless.
Dewdrop began to speak before
he had entered the room.
"Bugle an Ruth to go down. Pha-
raoh thayth-"
AS he stepped through the cut
and | fired, | saw my mistake.
Dewdrop would lisp no more, but
the deafening roar Of my pistol
had carried a message to Pharaoh
which not even a child could mis-
read.
l could have done myself violence.
Pharaoh was more than warned.
My shot, being fired when it was,
had reported the ugly news that
Dewdrop was dead. The fact that
no one came down would confirm
this report. And no one could have
killed Dewdrop, unless he had first
made an end Of Bugle and Rush.

temples.
AS I tried to measure my dis
lance, found that I could not see,
for my eyes had been fixed on Hell
ena and now could not pierce the
darkness which yelled the rest of
the room.
And then / heard Rush NOV
Had the fellow moved forward,
that must have been the end of this
tale. But he only passed behind me,
to stand between me and Dewdrop
Il suppose to be nearer his mas
ter :. the suddenly favored court
fer approaching the steps of the
throne.
That the end was fast approach
ing was very plain. Any moment
now should have to send my mask
flying. First Pharaoh. would
strike down the torch and hurl my
self at the monster before he had
time to think. First Pharaoh, and
then his fellows. But for the
thought Of his fellows, I could not
have stood my ground. But if I
should not survive Pharaoh.
My heart that had been smoking
seemed suddenly cold. Rush had
the reputation of being a lady's
man.
Helena was trembling. A little
hand went up to cover her eyes.
"I'll make you an offer. I nearly
made it just now. If you'll go now,
I'll show you the secret way. To-
morrow night TIL meet you with five
thousand pounds in gold. And after
that I'll pay you five thousand
year-for every year that you let
Mr.. Spencer live"
1t was clear that a child was
speaking, terrified child. Offer,
promise, figures were things gro
tesque. Her suggestion was below
| comment. But Pharaoh had his
foot in the opening, quick as flash.
"That's BETTER" he said. "Much
better. You've gone, shall we say,
a long way. But I'm sure Mr.. Spen-
GERS worth ten thousand a year."
The man was playing with her
playing the fish he had hooked.
Helena's voice was shaking.
tive no right to give any more.
The moneys not mine. That's more
than ought to take for my person
al use.''
It was awful to hear such naivete
issue from Helena's lips.
II am not concerned with your
right. To insure Mr.. Spencer's life
will cost you ten thousand down
and ten thousand year"
Her palms clapped fast to her
eyes, Helena threw back her head.
"All right" she said, "I'll pay It,"
The words seemed torn from her
throat.
zone thing MORE" said Pharaoh.
1T will not be convenient to meet
you tomorrow night. I take the
first premium now. Show me that
cellar, or strip. I don't care which
you do, for guess you can open it
naked as we'll as clothed
+ I think full minute went by be-
fore Helena moved.
Then very slowly she rose and
turned to the right. Then her hand
went up to a sconce, laid hold Of
the bracket and pulled it down.
1 heard no sound, but panel be-
low the sconce moved, and, when
she turned, I saw the shape of
door which was standing ajar.
So Helena severed one Of the
threads by which her life was hang
ing.
Slowly she returned to the bench.
AS she took her seat, Pharaoh
raped out an order.
'"Put a light on the lady, Bug1e."
l think my heart stood still; but
