AS she raised the blinds of her

of a glorious sunrise staining the
eastern sky irideScent red and gold,
Sandra faced the fact that if the
police worked on the thory of suicide
as well as murder, she would i'm

having some knowledge of what
had happened to his gun. She
shuddered away from such a
thought, and decided to get rid of
the evil thing as quickly as possible.
AS long as it was in her possession
she was in grave danger. Every

opening the door of her room, she
listened, but there was no sound in
the silent house. She must hurry.
Her cold hand clutched the bag un-
der her arm as she slipped down
the great stairway that led TO the
main hall. Dawn was just tllterlng
through two large windows on the
landing of the curving stairs, the
rest of the hall was shrouded IN
darkness.

Sandra would not look over into
those dark, shifting shadows. Joe'S
white, haggard face as she stood
down there near the old coat-rack
lust outside the library door was
still too haunting a reality. She
caught a glimpse Of the coat-rack
as she turned the corner of the stair
way into the lower hall, and her
heart began to pound with a strange
foreboding. Just beyond was a side
entrance that opened onto the
drive. She ran the last few steps to
the door. It would take only few
minutes to get to the creek at the
bottom of the garden, drop the gun
in its quicksand and get back to
her room.
No one had heard her. She gave
q sigh of relief and stepped out
directly behind the broad, uncom-
promising back of policeman.
At the sound Of the opening door,
he wheeled and stared at her in
amazement. Sandra leaned weakly
against the door, too frightened and
shaken to speak for a moment.
And who be you, miSS?" His
voice showed his surprise and she
realized instantly how ghastly she
must look in the hard morning

But Mark knew his chance of get

close. 1t was not 4 feet from the
spot where he and Parker had been

shadows he could not be quite sure.
He wondered if some one had been
behind that door listening to all
Parker said.
