CHAPTER THIRTY

Each inhabitant Of Indian Stones
who kept a private stock in that
cellar had a key for it. Most of
those keys were in the possession
Of servants, who made occasional
trips for their employers. Old John
had turned over Sarah's key to Ag-
gle. He fitted il, now, into q heavy
door at the end Of the passage and
turned a lock that was stiff with
rust. The hinges Of the door creaked
Awesomely The fashlight showed
a narrow flight Of steps, carved in
stone, winding down out OF sight.
With a thought that an unarmed
man was pretty helpless in that
cool, dry spiral Of carved, purplish
rock, Aggie listened again and went
ahead. The stairs made q COM
plete revolution before debouching
on q vast room that was crowded
with bins. Two Of its walls were
raggedly cut from rock; the other
two, from hard earth. The low
ceiling was shored up by venerable
timbers. Names were burned over
sections Of bins: Waite, Peters,
Calder, Drayman, Sommerheld,
Plum, and so on. Faded labels
above the cleaning bottles denoted
types 6% wine, viffssSes, and cha
teaux. Aggie read a few, and re-
fected in a hasty aside upon the
Injuries Of the rich. His childhood
reeollections Of this place we're not
reassuring-now.
He moved past the long racks
Of almost-level-lying bottles to the
far end Of the room. There, the
bins were built against the wall.
A portion of that spaee-a large
portion - was devoted TO Davis.
There was not a bottle in it. The
timbers supporting the Calder
shelves were massive, for they also
served to hold up that part OF the
ceiling. He played his light full
on them; they seemed too ageless
and too immovable to permit even
the thought Of disturbance. They
had been there from the beginnings
Of Sachem House--a century ago
and more. A man, Aggie thought,
might spend a week-or month
in the wine eellar-even in search
Of neutrality-suspicious. ever con-
sidering the possibility Of getting
behind those mighty beams.
That was why Sarah said nobody
would find the hiding place. 1t
simply was not suspeetible. And
vet - the shelves themselves were
bolts. and the psneling behind them
was a door, hinged on the back Of
one Of the beams, where it appeared
to be buried in hard earth. Aggie
inspected each shelf with his light.
The dust had been agitated. But
whether that had been done by
somebody getting wine, or by some
body using the passage, he could
not tell. One by one, he then slid
each shelf to the right an inch or
so; they moved along rusty iron
brackets in which were the heads
of corroded screws. Then he pushed
hard against the whole thing, and
it swung inward.
He stepped through and closed it.
Ahead was another passage, an
other door. This door also was

locked, and the keys for it belonged
to four persons, only. He put in
Sarah's key. The edges of the key
hole glittered slightly. Was that
because it has been scratched by
another keyf The lock turned. The
door opened-in, again.
Aggie stood in the secret vault
Of the old hotel. II was not large
room. II had been cut from the un-
derlying, ferrous rock. An old, bat
tered mahogany table and two
chairs stood in the center Of it -
furniture condemned to that use,
manifestly, after IL had served its
time upstairs in the Saehem House.
The safe had been set into one
wall. Its iron facade was taller
than Aggie. He shut the door be-
hind him again-and the lock
snapped. He was not afraid-in-
timidating though his surroundings
were-but the darkness and subter-
ranean aspect Of his adventure
gave him a feeling of urgency.
Sarah had written down the COM
bination of the huge old safe. He
fished out the paper and went to
work on the dials. 1t took him five
minutes to get the ponderous thing
open. He could hear nothing Of the
world above him - nothing from
the eiUS- rEsorhing ittn. sks 1SSds,
where sirens ululated. and the am
bulance had come with a winking
red light.
The safe was empty.
Its interior was some seven feet
in height, about eight feet deep,
and four feet wide. II il had once
contained pigeonholes and strong
boxes, they had been removed.
There was nothing in it, Nothing
at all. He amended that. On the
floor we're sprinklings Of sawdust.
Wisps Of straw. A few chips and
fragments of pine-bits that might
have come from boxes. He had fin
ished his journey. He was startled
by his discovery, because it was
dramatic. But it was not alto
gether unexpected. He swung his
light once more around the interior
of the safe, then he was stabbed
by q desire to get out--out of the
safe, the hidden room, and the wine
cellar. He could imagine the great
iron door closing on him. He leaped
from the place. That relieved him,
partially. He closed the iron door
and spun the dials. His hands we're
shaking. He switched off his light
and listened, realizing that his ri
gidity and concentration were less
for good hearing than for recovery.
"Claustrophobia," he said sound
lessly to himself. He hurried to the
door, unlocked it, stepped into the
passage, closed the door, and
started toward the back Of the wine
bins. His sense of agitation re-
turned. He had thought of the cell
lar in terms Of forest, or a jungle,
where he could hide and watch
without being seen. Only when he
had started down the winding
stairs had he begun TO consider his
own exposure.
He hesitated, before pulling open
the bin door. Finally, standing be-
hind il, with his light out, he drew
il back. It squealed dolefuliy. The
wine cellar was black. Holding his
