There was the vinous, moldy aroma.
Nothing else. II someone were
crouching behind the tiers of bot

his light and he, too. could SO con-
ceal himself. He would have as good
a chance as the other person Of

the movable shelves, until he was
ready. Them flash for a bearing
and a rush into the vast, low cham
Der. He could feel sweat on his lips
and inside his hands as he prepared
himself. There was not a sound
anywhere - except one: his heart
was audible in that absolute silence.
He came around the door and stood
in front, without closing it. He
aimed the fashlight. He turned it
on.
Instantly, he shut it of and
dropped to his knees. The light,
shooting down the aisle toward the
entrance, had touched something
that filled him with horror. In the
center Of the aisle along which he
had come, stood a bottle Of wine. A
tall, thin, green one. Hook. The bot

7 Aggie was scuttiing Aiong sound
lessly on his hands and knees -
away from the Calder bins-away
from the bottle, toward the far wall.
He expected light, then, at any in
slant. A light - and a shot. He
swore at himself for not bringing
gun. He agreed with Danielle-in a
savage effort to right his senses by
self-condemnation - that he was a
mere professor and no man to skulk
through the night on the trail of a
murderer. Somebody had followed
him. He stopped and listened fran
tically--ss il listening could be ex-
tended by passionate effort. Some
body had put that bottle in the aisle
to let him know he had been fol-
lowed. To scare him? Panic him1 To
make him race through the room
a perfect target!
But anyone who wanted to kill
him would not put out a warning
sign. Such a person would merely
hide, and wait for him to come back
walking upright-silhouetted by
his light. That would be the thing.
This bottle on the floor, then, was
merely to let him know that he had
been observed.
He reached the opposite wall and
felt along it until his hands turned
the corner Of the stairway entrance.
He was trembling from head to foot
and moving with more regard to
speed than to silence. AS he wound
his way up the stairs, however, he
reversed those tactics. For half a
minute, he stood at the top of the
flight, hopping his face, and listen
ing. There was no sound at all.
Nothing. He opened the door with
a push. He had not quite closed it.
The same awesome squeal assaulted
the night. A wink of his electric
torch showed the corridor to be
empty.
