His eyes followed the light. In his
amazement he lost his balance and
pitched forward. At one corner Of
the railing, blinking and shivering
in the glare, huddled the runaway
green parrot.
Held UP by a bird! He slid to the
balcony. Reached for Mr.. Micaw-
Der, grabbed him, flung him into the
room behind him. He could hear
the parrot squawking with fury as
he closed the window. !,
"That seems to be that! Now,
where's jedi"
He peered over the railing. No
uprights on this balcony to slide
down. The next one had iron trel-
Uses which connected it with the
stone terrace. Had Jed entered
Lookout House by the window? Who
occupied the room Of the next house
which opened on it? He would in
vestigate.
He tiptoed to the window, reduced
the light IN MS loren peIOre ne
flashed it over the glass. The shade
was closely drawn and the sash
locked. No one could have gone
In there. Cracks Of light were visi:
BILE in the two rooms beyond where
French windows opened on another
balcony. Had Jed entered that light
nd room? How could he get there?
He was too stout to swing across.
Could he himself do it?
He appraised the distance,
stepped over, and swung. Cautiously
he stepped over the rail and
ripped his hands from the frosty
iron.
With his heart drumming like an
airplane motor he concentrated his
attention on the window. A crack
of light showed between the hang
ings. Whose room was it? Should
he take chance that it was Sans
or Brooke's and tap lightly?
A window was being opened eau.

$50 what? I suppose there
couldn't be another woman in the
world who might call on Mr.. Trent
wearing a flower. or did you corner
the gardenia market today, Jerry?"
Fields expression changed from
gloom to cheer.
THERE'S something in that. Trent
certainly is WOW with the ladies.
I hear that he could dine out three
times an evening if he'd accept the
invitations heaped on him. 1t gets
me why he settled down in this
burg. Don't be sore at me, sweet
thing. Wasn't it natural for me to
think the flower yours when Stewart
produced the gardenia that he found
at Trent's front door when you
weren't wearing any?"
Before she could answer she heard
someone approaching.
She drew breath Of relief as
Sam and the two girls entered.

SYNOPSIS

Brooke Reyburn, visits the.' Office of
Jed Stewart. lawyer, to discuss the
terms of an estate she has inherited
from Mrs. Mary Amanda Dane. Unwit-
tingly she overhears Jed talking to Mark
Trent, nephew of Mrs. E%ne who has
been disinherited Mrs. Dane had lived
at Lookout House, huge structure on
the sea, bul.t by her and Marks father.
Brooke had been "a fashion expert, and

ference she learns she must live at Look

and her mother plan to stay in the city.
Jed and Mark are astounded when they

that she had witnessed "a hitherto un-
known will with Henri and Clotilde two
weeks before Mrs. Dane died. Brooke

Lucette frowned at Field. Cant
you smile for the lady, Jerry? I'll

Daphne ran into the hall.
'tLucette, don't forget that Mark

Lucette hung over the mahogany

Sam shook off her hand. "I'l

room then on the floor over which
sheet had been spread. A can OF
red paint had been overturned! 1t
was sluggishly spreading.
Tipped over recently! Slowly
Brooke's light travelled. A red foot
print! Uncannily like bloody one.
The man must have stepped into
the thick paint. Another! One be-
yond that under the window. Cau-
tiously she followed the trail A
smooch of red on the window sill.
He had gone that way. Was he on
the balcony? What would she see if
she looked out? She must look out.
She wouldn't close her eyes tonight
unless she knew that the man had
gone-where, she wouldn't care, it
he were gone.
She leaned out cautiously. There
was nothing human in sight, only a
one eyed moon was watching
through a maze of branches. Cold
winter moonlight turned a towering
hemlock to purple, shadows to anne
thyst, and scattered shimmering
trail Of golden topaz on the dark
water of the harbor. Had one OF
the shadows moved down by the
tree?
1t had. That meant that the man
was out of the house! She cautiously
closed and locked the window.
Pulled the hangings across it. That
was that! She curtained the other
window, turned to switch on the
wall light. Stopped. The door was
opening! A glare of light. Had the
man come back? Had he pal?
Had her heart parked in her throat
forever? She couldn't see, but she
could still hear: ~
''Well, for the love of Mike!"
The wall light snapped on.
Brooke's blood, which she had
thought frozen, surged through her
veins. Sam was staring at her, Sam
in pink and white pajamas which
made him look for all the world like
an animated stick of striped candy.
His copper colored hair was on end;
without his spectacles his eyes were
big and dark and vague. He shook
her arm.
"Hey! Snap out OF it, Brookel
Have you got that darn scenery so
on your mind that you're walking in
your. sleep to sling paint in here?"
Brooke swallowed the lump in
her throat.
II wasn't asleep, Sam, and I
wasn't Singing paint. ! heard some
thing" Her voice sounded hoarse
to herself.
"A window being opened? That's
what I heard. But how could you
get here SO soon?"
Breathlessly she told him OF the
man who had slipped through her
room, of following him into the hall.
you're kidding! No? Then why
didn't you yell for me?"
"You're so reckless, Sam, ] was
afraid you might be hurt"
THAT'S the funniest thing I ever
heard. How about yourself? Beat it
back to bed. Sam the boy sleuth is
hot on the trail"
"You mustn't 60 downstairs"
"Who says I mustn't. I'll snoop
around outside to be sure the guy
has gone. Beat IT,"
eff you 60 down, I 60 too"
"Oh all right, all right. know
better than to argue with you when
you use that tone, Brooke. Got a
flash? Well creep down the back
stairs. Follow me. Well get into
the front of the house that way"
He switched out the wall light
opened the door and stood motion
less, listening.
Lets go!"
Brooke nodded in response to his
whisper. The hall seemed miles
long as she tiptoed through the
dark; the back stairs endless in

''You mean that I'll be fired?"
Daphne opened her eyes at their
widest. 81, fired, after I've had
gowns made to wear that will SIM
ply stop the show? Come on, Jerry.
Nobody likes us here"
From the threshold she threw
kiss to Sam.
He grinned.
Sam, do you like Daphne?"
asked Brooke.
"she's good fun. Swell locker,
isn't she?"
In the room she had made her
boudoir, Brooke slipped out Of the
lace frock. If only she could shed
with it the haunting sense of having
said the wrong thing. She had been
bitterly unkind when she had re-
minded Mark Trent of his divorce.
If she could apologize to him and
get it off her mind it would help.
Well, she couldn't. Perhaps if she
wore the hair shirt Of remorse for
a while, it would teach her to guard
her tongue.
In a heavily embroidered Chinese
house-coat of vivid green, she pulled
forward the chair at her desk and
began writing letter to her moth
er.
Suddenly she looked up at the
mirror, and her heart mounted to
her throat and stuck there, beating,
beating. Reflected in the looking
glass, the silver-shot hanging be-
tween bedroom and boudoir filled
and swung like the sail of a boat.
What had set it in motion? Had a
window been opened? She was too
far from the bell to ring. Suppose
she rang? Who would answer?
Henri and Clotilde were locked in
their room probably. What should
she do? She stared at the mirror.
How could a person get in? From
the balcony under the bathroom
window? That meant that he had
come through Mark Trent's house.
Was it the black-gloved man who
had been in the attic this evening?
She swallowed her heart. She
couldn't sit here forever. She must
move. How still the room was! The
silence of fear enveloped her like a
cold mist and turned her fngertips
to ice. Perhaps she was in a night
mare and could waken herself.
Glorious thought She'd scream.
Her mouth remained open as
hatless man in blue denim slipped
past the swaying hanging. His head
was wet and sleek as a seals; his
face below his eyes-bad eyes-was
so thickly plastered with white as to
be unrecognizable. He gave one
furtive glance over his shoulder be-
fore he fitted in ghostly silence
from the room.
Brooke pulled out the drawer of
her desk. 1t crashed to the floor
splitting the contents. Maddening!
1t would DO that When she was in a
hurry. On her knees she scrambled
after an electric torch which had
rolled under a chair. She dashed
to the hall. Who was the man?
What was the stuff on his face?
She'd never forget those wicked
eyes above smear of white. The
house was dark and still. She ran
toward Sans room. Stopped. Bet
ter not start him on man hunt. He
was so impetuous. How did she
know that the intruder hadn't a
gun? She must go Scotland Yard her.
self.
The hall clock told the hour. The
sound echoed through the house.
Only twelve? 1t seemed hours since
she had said goodnight to Sam in
the living-room, and years since
Mark Trent and Jed Stewart had
gone home. She tiptoed to the bal
ustrade and listened.
A squeak! She put her hand hard
over her heart to stop it's thump-

cautiously? If only the wind would
stop for minute.
Had the squeak come from the
next room which was being used for
scenery? It had a small iron bal
cony like the one which connected
Lookout House and Mark Trent's.
A person might easily slide down
the trellis.
She tiptoed into the room and
closed the door softly behind her.
This must be the window that had
squeaked; 1t was wide open. It had
been closed this afternoon when she
had come in to scatter green paint
on the flats and to give another
splash Of red to the peak Of roof
on the backdrop.
