in front Of the FIRE, smoking. There
were state troopers in the library;
| went down into the hall and as
far as the library door. No one
stopped me and | wanted to see
what they were doing.
| was little wiser for my pains
but convinced, if had not been be-
fore, that they were in earnest
about an investigation. For they
had been taking hngerprints from
smooth surfaces in the room; they
had been using a tiny hand vacuum
on furniture and rugs; the decanter
of brandy had been removed; there
were chalked crosses on the sofa
and on the rug indicating, l
thought, the position of Conrad
Brents body. Pictures had been
taken. The body of Conrad Brent
had been removed.
Two troopers were still there, one
of them writing shorthand notes.
The other blowing a small cloud of
yellowish powder from a contri-
vance that looked like tiny bellows
upon one of the wooden panels
across the room on the right side
of the fireplace panel that | saw
then, was actually a swinging door
leading into a tiny washroom, for
could see walls tiled in shining,
pale green beyond. He turned to
look at me and the trooper with the
tablet stopped writing TO look at
me, too. There being no welcome
in either look but rather the con-
trary, | retreated; anyway | had
seen all | wanted to see. Nicky
looked up as | passed through the
hall but did not stop me. Peter
however came out,
Have you told CRAIG" ne asked
no"
Better not for a while"
what was that noise, Mr.. HUI
Der? You remember-while you
we're calling the doctor. Did you
find out about it,"
He frowned; his face looked tired
and worried. 81 didn't find any
body" he said. From the sound l
thought a window had been broken
somewhere. | looked all along the
hall leading toward the back Of the
house. But | found nothing to se-
count for it."
"Could there have been some
some intruder? A thief, perhaps"
Peter shrugged. 81 don't know.
I'll tell the police about it. | take it
Craig is all right"
ooh, yes"
"They took him away-Conrso
Brent, | mean. | suppose they are
doing an autopsy now"
Nicky watched, bright eyes in
tensely curious, as | took my way
upstairs again. That must have
been about four or five o'clock-A
cod, gusty February dawn. By six
Craig hadn't wakened. At about
seven Beevens, clothed in his right
mind as well as trousers and dark
sack coat, brought Drue and me
some coffee and toast. Breakfast
would be along soon, he said; in the
meantime he thought we might en-
joy the coffee. He spoke to me and
looked at Drue with kind Of SYM
pathy. Naturally all the servants
knew of her position in that house
hold. Perhaps the romance Of it APP
pealed to them, but l think they
liked her, too.

So she went, leaving me per-
picked by the look of sharp anxiety
in her face. II was as if she had
remembered something she didn't
want me TO know about-which was
nonsense, of course. What could
there be in her room, in the little
nursing bag, anywhere in the house,
which she wanted to keep a secret
When presently she came back,
slipping quietly into the room while
| was sitting beside Craig, l wills
pered, "Did you get it,"
Her face looked very white and
her breath was coming quickly; her
hand was in her pocket. She shook
her head. "They were already
there. They -. Sarah-they've got
your little black bayou know
and mine. l saw a policeman go

The girls were all flustered be-
cause Sonia, as you may recall
was voted by them last year as the

film actresses.
Well, the president of the club
calmed down long enough to intro
duce Sonia and say she thought
it was darned nice and courageous
Of her to turn up. In fact. it was
pointed out that the Norwegian
skating star was the first in hel
uncomplimentary classification tc
come right back at the ladies.
Sonia got up, her face flushed
and took bow She said she was
awfully sorry she had merited such
trophy and promised to do better
The girls applauded and soma
launched into a long narrative about
her entertainment trip abroad to
bolster soldier morale.
After the luncheon one OF the
girls said she thought it was swell
of Sonia to appear, but added cat
tily: If she gave the boys over
there talk like that she must
have bored 'em to DEATH"
