The Blind Mans Secret

1 Clemantine laid the tube on her
bed. opened her closet and lifted
the precious hat of the shelf. Aga
tina had to admit 1t was a strange
affair. She didn't feel at all sorry
when Clemantine began the mutila-
ton. Wouldn't the younger genera
ton ever get sense into their heads,
or would they always have to ad-
vertise their insanity with crea-
tons like this?
Clemantine cut a hole In the lin
ing, pulled out something that had
held the peak Of the hat In posi-
ton, and inserted the radio tube in
its place. There! I thought 1t
would fit!"
mot even Willard, with his sixth
sense. could find it in a place like
that"
Clemantine frowned. II can't
understand--how could he have
possibly carried that tube into the
house tonight without our seeing
it%
Tim sure I don't know" ad-
mitted Agatha
Perhaps he just held 1t behind
him. He tried to distract our at
tention by making out he was in
danger. He might even have carried
it under his coat without making
much OF a bulge. It's rather slen-
DER.
What difference does It make
how 1t arrived on the chair in your
living room? The important thing
Is, can we get II into Mr.. Hills Office
without anyone suspecting-and
then slip it out when no one Is
around to see u.s."
Clemantine adjusted the hat on
her head. What do you Think"
Eyes, I think it will do. There's
little bulge in the front, but it
might be part OF the hat design.
I've never seen anything to match
it. -" She stiffened suddenly.
"Listerm

Agatha's throat was choking Up
on her. She whispered, THE front
door is opening"
Family there came up the stairs
the click of the latch as the door
was stealthily reclosed. The stairs
creaked under ascending feet.
Your rsvolver" Clemantine
gasped. Where Is II ,"
Il left it downstairs!"
We're trapped and this Is
not the police!"
A voice with foreign accent an
nounced through the opening bed

not the police. And do not scream,

How can we be sure there aren't

How can we be sure-of any

Agatha remembered what her

denly was fearful herself. 81 sup

it in person to DR.. Hills Office
without his seeing u.s."
How can we?"
IT don't know. II will be dihhcult.
Perhaps Willard had a similar
idea" She was improvising rapidly.
A solution had come to her! He
must have obtained the tube by &C.
cldent, and like US was afraid of
questions. Being blind he knew he
was more than usual in danger Of
being caught II he tried TO take II
TO DR.. Hill.
Those are Just wild suppose

We'll, that's the best can think
Of now"
Where will we hide IT,"
How about the closet in your
room?"
That's the FIRST place anyone
would look for It."
The bed, then? We might cut a
hole In the mattress"
Suppose someone sat on the bed
and broke it? No, I think I've got
a better idea l bought a new hat
last week. 1t has one Of those funny
high peaks. I believe I could slip it
up in there by taking out some of
the lining. And that would be a way
to carry it right into DR.. Hills Of
fee"
Good! Let's hide II now. It
makes me nervous just to see it
lying there"
Clementine picked up the tube
again. carefully holding it with
both hands. Agatha snapped OF the
light and they started up the stairs

pretending she was seeing the radio
tube for the first time. We've got
to get that back where II belongs!"
"Ill never trust anyone againl

Agatha felt a twinge OF con-
