is going to live or die"
There was a little silence while
he digested that. Then he turned to
Drue again. "You might be needed
tonight. But, understand, III have
no attempts to talk to my son. If
you stay at all, you stay on my
terms"
After a moment, Drue said, whis-
pering, "lu stay. I've got to
stay. 80"
"Very WELL" grumbled Conrad
Brent. "You take the noon train to-
morrow. That's all"
She waited an instant OF two,
looking at him; then she went to the
door. But with her hand on the door
knob Drue turned to him again. Her
clear gray eyes had a thoughtful,
queerly measuring look. She said
very quietly, "You are his father.
! suppose you love him. But could
kill you for what you've done TO me-"
With which unexpected remark
she walked out of the room and
closed the door behind her.

he drew himself up and glanced up
at the coat of arms and said in a
different voice - "but not for my
son. That's all, Nurse" Without
giving me another chance to speak
he went TO the door and opened it
for me, and was obliged to precede
him into the hall.
The aspect Of the great, solemn
hall had changed. A fire had been
lighted and there was a little group
Of people having tea there, with
chairs and tables drawn up near the
fire and Beevens lowering in the
background. Alexia, sitting behind
a lace-draped table, was pouring
from an old silver service that was
polished till 1t looked as soft as
satin.
Conrad Brent asked me 10 have

SYNOPSIS

SYNOPSIS
When Drue Cable learned her
former husband, Craig Brent, was
the victim of a so-called accidental
bullet, she persuaded her friend
and fellow nurse, Sarah Keate, to
answer with her the call made by
DR.. Claud Chivery from a small
New England town. Sarah was un-
aware of Drue's previous connec-
ton with the Brent family which
included Craig's father, Conrad; /;
Alexia, Conrad's glamorous young
wife who, at one time, had hoped
to marry Craig; Nicky Senour,
Alexia's twin brother; and Peter
Huber, a friend of Craig. Anna
Haub, maid at the Brent mansion,
told how Craig was found in the
garden the previous night, adding,
"Beevens, the butler, said il was
an accident-Mr. Craig was clean
ing a gun" Alexia ordered Drue to
leave before Conrad Brent discov-
cred her presence. Drue told Sarah
the strange story of her romance
with Craig. They married more
than year ago and Conrad Brent
disapproved. Craig's work IN the
diplomatic service summoned him
to Washington, and Drue returned
to New York. Shortly after, she re-
ceived letter from Conrad (Which
he claimed Craig had asked him to
write) stating his son had resigned
to enter aviation training, only to
discover married men were in
eligible. Conrad said Craig wished
Drue TO divorce him, but promised
they could remarry when the train
ing period was over. Drue got the
divorce but never received any re-
ply to the letters she wrote Craig
Now, she is determined not TO
leave until Craig regains con-
sciousness. and can talk with her
DR.. Chivery told the state trooper
that the bullet he removed from
Craigs shoulder was accidentally
thrown away; the gun, too, is miss
ing. He warned Sarah not to re
peat anything the patient might
say in delirium. Later, Craig mum.

saw Drue disappear behind hedge
and emerge soon with something
hidden beneath her cape. A few
minutes later Drue entered tn,
