Clint Mattison came down about
1 o'clock and ate with us. He lit
his pipe afterWard and said he
was going out for some air before
he went back upstairs.
He saw the question in my eyes
and shook his head. I'VE can't tell
yet, Mrs. Kraik. We keep her
walking, one on each side of her
holding her up, and we talk to
her and try to concentrate her
attention. But she's only half con-
Scious.'
Kathy got up suddenly from her
chair. do you mind if I walk
with you?" she asked Madison
Of course he didn't. I watched
them wander off down by the
lake. Mattison was broad Shout
dered and half head taller than
Kathy. They made nice-looking
couple.
The doctor came back again
about O'Clock and was upstairs
for more than an hour. When he
came down he hunted me up in
the living room. Walter had mixed
cocktails and we were slipping
them and waiting for the dinner
gong. We were all there except
Will Grady's wife. She had been
acting queer all day, staring at
me whenever I went upstairs and
moving away TO avoid speaking.
The middle of the afternoon she
had gone over to their room in
the tower and sent word back
later that she had headache and
didn't want any dinner.
The doctor looked very grave
as he crossed the room toward me
and my heart drew into knot.
He took his glasses off, polished
them with handkerchief, and
said slowly, She's going to live"
He held the glasses up to the light
and then polished them vigorously
again. But her mind"
My heart stood still, and the
horror of my quick guess must
have shone in my face.
mo - it isn't that" he added
hastily. She's not insane. She
understands what you say to her
and answers quite sensibly. But
her memorys gone. She doesn't
remember anything that's hap
pened. Not even her grandson's

CHAPTER XVI

1t was Deputy Shaw who took
charge He phoned the doctor and
tdld him to bring a stomach pump.
Then he ordered us all out of Mar
garet's room except Clara and
Sarah and Mattison. He said they d
be needed to help.
I went down to the big square
white-tiled kitchen and put some
coffee on to boil. Maybe a cup
of it hot and black would bring
me out of the nightmare in which
I was moving with the clogged
and frantic efforts peculiar to bad
dreams.
The nightmare which had be-
gun the moment Mattison and
broke into Margaret's room and
saw her gray face and touched
her clammy hands. The night
mare which had sucked me into
its depths when I glanced at the
table beside her bed. The glass
that I had left there was empty,
and the small envelope which had
contained the remaining sleeping
tablets was torn raggedly open
Clint Mattison's voice sounded
miles away Il think we need a
doctor, Mrs. Kraik"
All the phones at KraiktoWer
are downstairs. I remember hold
ing tightly to the bannister as
started down the steps, for l was
faint with shock. I was nearly at
the bottom when someone banged
the knocker on the hall door
opened 1T and there in the tagged
entrance stood Deputy Shaw. He
lifted his cap, smiled, and swal-
lowed what he was going to say.
I must have looked CHASTITY.
What's happened?' he barked.
! told him, trying to keep my
voice steady. He took over with
out any foolish preliminaries.
1t was the longest day of my life.
The doctor went away to make his
morning calls and came back and
went away again.
Deputy Shaw used the phone
and another police car came with
three men in it. They logged an
inhalator up to Margaret's room.
Then Shaw went away.

The doctors voice seemed

The doctors voice seemed to
come from a great distance as
he finished in his deliberate fash
ion: What she needs now is rest
and quiet. And-her memory may
return In time. Mrs. Grady is
with her now"
So he went away and left me
standing there, ratllc" stupidity try
ing to take In the full import of his
words.
Connie, too, acted as if she
couldn't quite grasp it all at once
She walked stitfly over to a VIM
dow and stood staring out at the
deepening dusk. After time,

ing around The doctor says
Margaret doesn't even remember
that Derek is dead. Isn't that
odd?'
Kathy jerked her head up and
looked at Connie intently.

down, and rubbed his hands to-
gether. The old ladys tough.
Guess 1t would take more than a
sleeping tablet TO finish her Off"
Walter agreed with him in an
absent-minded sort of way.
Then the dinner gong sounded
and we went into the dining room
Will Crazy sat at Walters
right. He made clumsy mistakes
with his silver and his big voice
doomed constantly. 1t occurred to
me finally that he was talking toe
much even for a man embarrassed
by the presence of servants and
more implements beside his plate
than he knew how to use. He had
something on his mind and was
trying to cover 1t up with a flood
of talk.

Kathy disturbed my reflections
with some remark, and when !
turned my head to answer her, ]
caught Clint Mattison watching
me as I had been watching Will

his eyes when he had looked at me
