The command held the crack Of a
lion-tamer's whip. Henri drew his
fingers over his slack lips. He made
two attempts to speak before he
produced voice.

Mark, and it isn't so bad as the in

Brooke looked down at her
clenched fingers. She couldn't keep
her eyes on Henri. Once she had
seen dog being beaten who grow
eled as he groveled now. His voice
shook as he went on:
ut was like this, Mr.. Mark. Ma
dame Dane sent for Clotilde and me
to come to the living-room one aft
ernoon. 1t was the nurses day off.
She was in the wheel chair and Ma
dame Gregory was there. Your
aunt said as how we were all to
sign a paper in her presence and
then she was to sign in our pres
ence. She laughed kind of shaky

aunt said that MIR. Stewart was
away and she didn't dare wait till
he came home because she hadn't
been feeling well. We wrote our
names. Mrs. Gregory left. Clotilde
went back to the kitchen, and then
the old madame handed the paper
to me and said:

CHAPTER XIV

For the length of time it took the
old clock in the hall to chime the
quarter hour, there was silence in
the library, a silence as tense as if
the still body of black-haired wom-
an with the open bag gripped in
one bruised hand lay in their midst.
Inspector Harrison broke the spell.
"And that amt all I've got to
show you. Bring him in, Tin!"
Brooke's breath stopped as tall
policeman with huge ears pushed a
covering figure into the room. Hen
ri! Henri here! Would he dare per-
sist in the lie that he had found
that will in her desk?
"Sit down, Brooke"
With hands on her shoulders Mark
Trent drew her from behind the
chair and forced her gently into the
seat. She felt his presence behind

library that there was reason
other than passion for the sea in
winter which had brought two men
from the city to live in Mark Trent's
house; and she told of Mrs. Greg
orys admission, the afternoon be-
fore the Supper club party, that she
had witnessed will of Mary Aman-
da Danes and that she had been
warned by Jed Stewart not to speak
of it. And how, almost before Mrs.
Gregory's car was out of the drive,
Henri Jacques had confronted her
with a paper and the lie that he had
found it in her desk.
Don't speak, Don't" She inter-
rupted her story sharply as Mark
Trent opened his lips. "Let me
finish!

didn't, he might make more trouble

mind. 1t has been a hideous night

mean Of course the contents of
that will were a shock for a min
ute; but I knew that Mrs. Dane
had been just. Then I thought of
the play, that the sudden appear

drama for you, Sam-might upset
the performance; so ] locked the
thing in my desk. had planned to
bring it here this evening. When I
got back from headquarters to-
night, I went to my desk to get it.
The drawer was empty. Now I know
that Inspector Bill Harrison, your
sleuth, had found 1t, Mr.. Trent"
Chats enough, Brooke" Mark
Trent's voice was low and authori-
tative. 81 don't believe that you
have had that will. I know"
''Wait minute" Inspector Bill
Harrison cut in" Come over here"
He spread out the paper on the
desk. He drew a fiat leather case
from his breast pocket and removed
from it a white scrap.
"Exhibit A. Watch!"
The scrap fitted into the torn cor
ner. There was CLINT in his eyes
as they passed from face to face
of the three men bending over to
read the finely written lines.
II don't know what the rest of
you folks think" his voice was as
soft as velvet, "but, in spite Of the
fact I found it in her desk, I'm
sure Miss Reyburn hasn't had the
will in her possession ever since it
was signed, because"
He laid the tip of square-topped
finger on the torn-of corner:
because I found this scrap
caught in Mrs. Hunts bag the night
her diamonds were stitched"

burn?"
The voice which came from be-
hind Brooke's chair set her a-shiv-
er. A steadying hand rested on her
shoulder.
We've didn't think of it, Mr..
Mark. Mrs. Hunt suggested that"
"HoW did she know about it?"
Henri passed shaking fingers
across his lips.
Some way she found out that we
were going to sell your aunt's sill
yer. Clotilde and thought we might
as we'll have it as the strange girl
she'd left it to-"
The glance Henri Jacques cast
at the inspector was green with
venom.
Mrs. Hunt said, if I'd get the
silver to the white cottage, she'd
dispose of it; that it was rare and
worth lots of money, that dealer
would believe that it was hers, that
he might suspect me. That seemed
reasonable. Mrs. Hunt knew of a
man to help. She said she'd take
care of that will, too, she'd get mon
ey out of you for it and we'd go
fifty-ffty."

voice was hoarse.

room. While you were all laughing
and eating downstairs I let him
through into the Other House by the
upper connecting door. He took the

"But you took that paper over
there on the desk out of her bag,
|, didn't you?'
II told you once I did, Inspector.
I felt it belonged to me. But I
swear I never touched her."
"Take him out, Tim"
Henri stopped to hurl defiance at
Inspector Bill Harrison.
"You think you're smart, but you
wouldn't have known anything about
this till we were safe out of the
country, Inspector, if that expert
thief Mrs. Hunt brought into the
game hadn't stopped to wash and
shave in Mr.. Stewards bathroom.

"Take him away, Tim" Inspec-
tor Harrison's eagle eyes followed
the two men from the room before
they came back to Brooke.
Sorry I had to touch your desk,
Miss Reyburn, but high falsetto

I know now that it was Henri
Jacques-so I went through your

is apparent even to this boyish in
telligence that Mark wants to talk
to you alone. Fair enough. Why
make him go on the air? Be kind
to him, he deserves we'll of his
countrymen.
They crossed the terrace in ST.
lence. The snow had not been
cleared from before the door of
Lookout House. Mark Trent swept
Brooke from her feet and carried
her into the vestibule. He kept an
arm about her as he opened the
door. Something turning like the
wings of an autogiro in her throat,
cut off her protest. The green liv-
ing-room awaited them, softly light
ed, family fragrant. Above the
mantel the Duchess looked down
with grave eyes; below, Goals, muir
INJURIOUS as purring kittens, gave out
a gentle glow.
"Take off your wrap"
Brooke slipped from beneath the
velvet and the hands Tightening on
her shoulders. She barricaded her
self behind high-back chair. With
one arm on the mantel, Mark Trent
faced her. His eyes, smiling lit
tie, maddeningly cool, filled her
with rage. She challenged:
"You would come. Why? Didn't
you want to tell me before the 9TH
ers that you had known about that
will all the time?"
But I hadn't known"
"You suspected that there was
one, didn't you? You and Jed Stew

Brings Fifty Tons of Cargo for Owner 1. Gold
 stein Today

The halibut schooner Sitka, Capt Bill Doucett, docked at the Juneau Cold Storage dock this morning with a load of fifty tons of freight for | Goldstein, owner of the vessel.
 The Sitka passed through Juneau this winter enroute to Bering Sea with bottom traWling equipment on board with which to experiment with that type of East Coast fishing.
 Captain Doucett reported today "the trip was a washout,"
 The bottom was too rough for dragging the heavy traWl effectively Doucett said. After several unsuc- cessful attempts, the crew turned to handlining for codfish to make expenses.
 The Sitka will break her hali- but gear out of storage in the next few days, and outfit for the hali- but banks, probably running hel fish to Rupert or Seattle.

IF POsTMAN DOESN'T RING

Farley has had to heal breaches before and the prospects are that before the year is out he will have to try to heal several more as the primary fights come along.
 His first job as national chair man in 1882 was to heal the breach growing out of the Stop Roose- velt' movement in the national convention and he did it.
 It was not such tough going in the days of 1892 because the de- pression had dimmed Republican hopes to such an extent that some commentators suspected the Demo- crats could have elected a Moro although that may be reaching a long way out.
 But now the depression is on the other foot and if once in while the mail doesn't come through on time it could be kept in mind that Post master General National Chairman Farley has something to do besides carry letters.
