But she saw another vision of a

1t occurred to her later that
Virginia's could have been the

suspicion of the girl entered her

INSPECTOR Venable seemed to
4 think this information some
what less than important. He
asked a few more questions and
said that would be all for now.
You're worn out, Julia. dear"
said Frank. why don't you go to
bed and I'll take care Of things
here"
.ssYes. that's a good idea,T con-
coded the Inspector.
She said good night and went
INTO her bedroom. She was glad
TO get away from that room.
She sat on the edge of her bed
and stared into space. Her mind
was crowded with bits of things
she had seen and felt and heard.
If | could put them all on table
and push them around, l could
make them fit. She looked at the
clock set in the night stand and
saw it was 3:40-only two hours
since Robey had been killed. She
was sure Of that-Robey had been
killed.
There was a knock on the door
and she said Come in" second
time before it was opened.
81 thought YOU wouldn't mind
having me around" said Virginia.
She had pushed her hair back of
her ears and her skin seemed TO
be pulled tightly over the fine
bone structure of her thin face.
She began christening the jade
bracelets on her arms.
Julia's eyes chung to hers but
she did not speak.

but still cool-indifferent
aShall 1 sleep here or in Ro-
hey room?"
HOh, here. Here, please. I'll get
you some night clothes. Is every
one still out there?" She mo-
toned YEARLY toward the door
to the salon.
They're all gone. All but
Moore and cop who is guarding
the door-or is supposed TO. Why,
I dor't know. Robey would be flu
rious if he thought he'd have to

ginia finished deliberately.
After they had got in bed Julia
dozed fitfully. The pale turquoise
curtain that hung straight 10 the
floor sWayed restlessly in the un-
certain breeze from the windows
opposite the ped. The room was
very dark except for the dim
light that came from the court.
Once when she awoke she was
trembling. She stared across the
darkness at the windows She
could not see the curtains. Sitting
a feeling of alarm she decided
that Virginia had pulled the dra-
perieS together. She tur n e d
toward the other side of the bed
and put out her hand.
At that instant she heard a thud
as if someone had fallen in an
other part OF the house. She sat
up in bed quickly. automatically.
then froze into immObility. The
frantic beating of her heart
roared in her ears.
She forced herself TO move
though it was like stepping INTO
an abyss. She ran her hand over
the other side OF the bed No one
was there. Somehow she had
known that Virginia was gone.
Pictures of the girl falling flashed
through her mind. She must find
her quick. Holding back the
panic that threatened her she
moved to meet this unknown
danger.
FEARING to turn on the lights.
l. she threw a dressing gown
over her shoulders and clrcled
the foot of her be- in silent bare
feet. At the door to the salon she
listened for a few seconds intent
~. ear against the wood. Once or
twice she thought she heard some
one moving about. If she could
get to the policeman who was
guarding the door, he would help
her find Virginia.
She crossed the corner of the
room to the door which opened
into Robey's dressing room. It
opened silently with a gentle
push. Utter darkness greeted her.
She could hear no sound but there
was a pulsatlng quality in the
blackness that made her want to
scream out for help. Il was as If
voices were crying out silently IN
