CHAPTER XIII Bannister's uneasiness grew when Karen remarked that the stiletto had disappeared from the aquarium and asked if Detective Toole had taken it away. “Toole hasn’t touched it,” he replied, drawing her away a little further from her father and Hod. “If one of the servants had found it, Meyers would have known. Has Captain , Boyle been up there since this afternoon?” “No. But he seemed to be terribly angry with Mr. Toole about someI thing when he called this evening. He ridiculed the whole idea of the Whipple Syndicate having anything to do— ” She paused upon hearing the butler's voice at the door. “A house servant with a verbal message for Mr. Sire,” he announced. “I instructed him to remain in the corridor—Captain Boyle has ordered the policemen to scrutinize every person who enters the apartment.” Dick left Karen’s side instantly, i “Let me go,” he said. But Sire already had started for the door. His eyes flashed apprecia- • tion to Bannister, but he seemed inI different to the danger implied in I the offer. A portentous silence fell upon the | others when Sire left the room. Some I impalpable menace hung upon the air. A light speech that Karen had I started fluttered like a struck bird ; and fell, it seemed, to the carpet. ■ A strange, frightened little cry esl caped her lips. Dick started for the door, but I paused almost at the threshold and ’ began to back slowly into the room, i An instant later Maurice Sire re- | entered, erect, stiffly precise in his i gait, but with a face preternaturally pale. "Gentlemen,” he said quietly, ‘ I am going to ask you to leave us immediately. I have something imporI tant to say to my daughter.” His bow was unmistakable —it i meant instant dismissal. Meyers was immobile as usual I when he opened the foyer door for ' the Bannisters, although he threw a weary glance toward the policeman, now flagrantly snoozing in an armchair, his pistol holster swinging like a black pendulum with the measured movements of his midriff. Maurice Sire had not followed them to the door. When Karen rei turned to him a moment later, he said: “Little girl, don’t be alarmed. Tell Meyers we are not to be disi turbed, then close the door.” Karen, white with some nameless dread, obeyed. “Now,” he continued, “please call I Dr. Laughlan, whose office is on the i I first floor.” She picked up the telephone. I “III?” was all she was able to ask. “Not exactly that,” he replied coolly. "I’ve been put on the spot, as the phrase goes these days. Some person threw a dagger at me the moment I stepped into the corridor and turned my back. It was aimed at the left clavicle — nearest approach to the heart, you know. Bui i it stuck in my shoulder blade —it’s there now.” » • • Hod Bannister took the abrupt dismissal from Maurice Sire's . apartment as an old friend should take it—without question and without resentment. With Dick it was different. ’.= saw finality in it all — the chill finger of banishment pointing to a bleak and empty world—a world without Karen’s presence, her smile, her voice. “Sire doesn’t want our help,” he said gloomily. “I could see that in his eyes; he doesn’t want us to share in his secret. He intends to protect Karen by shutting her off from all human contact.” “Very likely,” Hod agreed nonchalantly. “You don’t question his right to follow the promptings of a father’s heart, I hope. Anyway, you > have no standing with him except through the accident of being my , brother. You and that infernal ’ meathound, Bully, contributed noth- , ing but an added irritation to his I troubles.” I “Cheerful, aren’t you?” retorted I Dick savagely. “Now look here, i Hod. I'm twenty-eight years old; for the last three years I’ve been getting letters from you about settling down. Your brotherly interest has followed me around the

are we not? I notice that Sire has a portrait of Aaron Burr in his library—wasn’t it one of our ancestors who presided at Burr's trial when he was tried for treason?” “You’re a poor reminder of those glories,” Hod replied brutally, “living like a savage. Huh! A gypsy of modern industry!” “Do you measure a man’s culture by the crease in his pants?” Dick growled. “What about my degrees —my medals? It wouldn’t take long to knock this rough crust off me.” Hod had taken on the air of a patient alienist, examining a harmless lunatic. "Why did you continually i ignore Meyers tonight?” he asked. "What was the idea behind the notion of scratching matches on the sole of your shoe? I think I saw Karen smile when you tried to take a half-hitch in your belt—forget you had on suspenders, didn’t you?” All this banter was flowing in Hod’s apartment, whither the two had returned after Maurice Sire’s ! suddenly expressed wish to be alone with his daughter. The man’s stoicism in concealing the fact that a dirk was sticking in his back had left them entirely without suspicion . that another murder had been at- . tempted. “Sire is quite a fellow,” said Dick, ; after treating his brother to an interval of scornful silence. “There’s I something stately and impressive about him. When he came back from the hallway he walked like General Pershing on parade.” “I thought he looked somewhat , stiff,” Hod answered, obviously with the purpose of rubbing the paint off i Dick’s gaudy simile. “But 1 wasn’t • thinking of his personal graces at ■ the time; it was the look on his i face. Noticed it, didn't you?”

dream to make her the queen of a new country, taking in all of Mexico and part of the United States Montezuma, he was to call it. It was that enterprize which brought your distinguished ancestor into the foreground when Burr was tried for treason.” “Well, what of it?” , Only this. Burr is Maurice Sire’s hero. It wouldn't surprise me if he had in the back of his head the notion of building up an empire such as Burr contemplated—with Karen as queen.” Dick stared at his brother in comical amazement. “Who's looney now?” be laughed. “Why, the existing governments are so jealous of aggiession that they even sciap over possession of such God-for-saken little jetties of ice and rock as rangel Island up in the Arctic.” Hod went on > “maps of the world became obsolete after the late war. New frontiers are being created right now in South America and in China. Who’d have dreamed forty years ago that the United States would take over the Philip, pines? But we bought ’em after licking Spain—bought ’em for thirty million dollars. * ‘‘T hi . rt y millions — that’s about Sire s individual pile.” “About.
