back of her chair in an ostenta-

the shadow of smile on his lips,

the most part, answering only when
she had to and that briefly, one leg
crossed over the other and the toe

little circles.
After a while they sent for Peter
Huber who came into the room and
sat down not far from me. He had

could be told. He sighed little, I'M

q cigarette, and listened. As We all
listened.
Presently they questioned him
or rather recapitulated some ear
lier questioning. When he came
downstairs he had found both nurs-

Yes, that was right; he nodded.
Why had he come downstairs at
all?
II told you that. I'd dropped of

too warm. l put up the windows and

As he did it he heard a kind Of
scream from somewhere down.

and as he was closing the door again
l had run along the corridor and
down the stairs. So he thought
something was wrong, went back to
get a dressing gown and slippers,
and had come down after me.

Attorney, II want you to think back

CHAPTER TWENTY

Maud was there, too, little and
1ndomitable in sweeping black with
her pompadour rising high above
her narrow, sallow forehead, her
collar of boned white net lifting her
little dark chin in the air, and her
eyes brooding and angry, watching
the police. watching Nicky and
Acknowledging even me, fixedly.
] don't think a move or look or a
quickened pulse escaped her eager,
antlike eyes. DR.. Claud Chivery
wasn't there.
Then saw Drue sitting in tall
armchair, her hands around the
arm of it, her white cap like a crown
upon her shining hair. She was
pale; her dark gray eyes had kind
of terrified stiffness. l thought she
tried to communicate with me,
mutely, with her look, and l tried,
mutely, to remind her Of danger.
and in the same fractional glance
that l was on her side.
Then I felt that somebody was
watching US and turned. 1t was
Lieutenant Nugent, his eyes mar
row and thoughtful, more green
than gray-which was, as matter
of fact, a bad sign. He said. sit
down. please, Nurse Keate. The
District Attorney, Mr.. Soper, wants
to question you"
l sat down, and the long ques-
tioning began for me. 1t began bad
l., .na ay.dad hadlv
The first thing Soper said was a
fat, bald statement 70 the effect that
they had found enough digitalis in
Conrad Brent's blood stream to kill
him, and they believed it was muir
der. From there they went on to
that inevitable conclusion.
/ told them exactly what ! had
already told Lieutenant Nugent, no
more, no less. They questioned
Maud and Nicky and Alexia; they
sent for and questioned Peter HUI
Der; they questioned everybody.
Gradually the story built itself up
much Of it by confirmation, for it
was obvious that they had already
done considerable, less public. CUES
tioning.
Conrad Brent had spent the pre-
vious day about as other days we're
spent, except for his anxiety about
his son, two or three morning visits
to Craig's room and q talk with DR..
Chivery. This according TO Maud
was entirely about Craig's condi-
ton. The Lieutenant already knew
that Conrad had had an interview
in his study with me and then with
Drue after our arrival. I was ques-
toned again about that almost i'm
mediately. II was about his son, I
told them firmly, and that was all.
There was speculative look in
Nicky's eyes as he turned to look at
me, and Maud said abruptly, THAT
isn't all, Lieutenant. Don't forget
that Conrad was furious because
Drue Gable came here, and told her
she had to leave. She was TO 20 this
morning. She"
"Yes. you told me that" cut In
Nugent. Drue's lips parted a little
and she leaned forward as II to
speak, but Nugent did not permit
her to do so. Now, them" he said
briskly, there we're no callers yes
terday except DR.. Chivery and my
self. What about dinner"
couldn't tell whether or not they
had yet questioned Drue. II seemed
logical hat they had, but somehow
| thought they had not. l listened
anxiously.
Dinner had been at the usual
hour. Nicky, Peter, Alexia, and

Maud and Of course Conrad had
dined together. Drue was there,
too, said Maud, but the other nurse
(her eager black eyes went to mel
was on duty so q tray was sent up
TO her. But nothing happened at
dinner; no one talked much; all of
them ate the same food. So he
couldn't have been poisoned then.
The evening had been passed
much rs usual. They had played
bridge, Conrad, Maud, Alexia and
Peter - Nicky had read and
watched. During the game there
had been the usual talk Of current
news, the war. affairs at home |;
sometime during the game (no one
remembered the time) Conrad had
sent Alexia to get the clipping; the
box Of medicine had been in the
desk drawer then.
At about eleven they had stopped
playing. Conrad had gone for his
walk, the others had gone to bed.
DR.. Chivery had stopped shortly
after eleven MAUD told this, too ;
she was altogether more eagerly in
formative than anyone else); he
had gone to the room she always
occupied when she stayed as she so
often did at the Brent house, but
he had not remained for long. He
had walked to the Chivery cottage.
There's a path, q shortcut" said
Maud. and Nugent nodded.
HE told us he didn't see Brent?"
said Soper to Nugent who nodded
again. SO ! knew they had already
questioned DR.. Chivery.
Usually Conrad returned from
his walk in about forty-five min
utes; he walked very slowly, SO
probably he had not taken a really
long walk. His coat, stick, and hat
were in their usual place in the
closet of the hall. His dinner-iack-
ct hung there, too, and he had put
on a lounge coat and, apparently,
gone directly into the library.

"Nieky" cried Alexia twisting
around TO look up at him.

Nugent. "Did anyone-you. for in

There was q silence.
Nicky smiled and examined the
