CHAPTER XIV So Hod Bannister explained to his brother Dick: “Simply this. Sire is no apprentice at making governments—he’s pulled the chairs out from under a half dozen Latin-American presidents and put as many new ones in their places. I think he has that great, shadowy area of Tibet in mind for an experimental republic—a kind of Asiatic Switzerland. He’d like to make it a neutral corner, so to speak, in the prize ring of the nations.” "Tibet!” scoffed Dick. “It’s a desert—supports a spattering of half starved natives, a batch of Tartar priests, a few goats and a wild jackass or two.” “Just now Tibet is like that,” Hod admitted. “It needs good society and a lot of water. The same was said of Utah, which is now a sovereign state of the Union. Queer bird, this Maurice Sire. He’s big enough to dream of great things and strong enough to make them real.” “Aaron Burr failed and his daughter died in the midst of his grand schemes,” Dick objected uneasily. “The parallel you draw doesn’t suit me at ail.” Hod brushed Sire’s empire away with a wave of his hand. “A detail of more immediate interest is the mystery surrounding the theft of the oriental relics which Sire seemed to prize so highly,” he said. “I’ve got a notion that he has already launched his enterprise and that some Asiatic band—religious fanatics probably —may be camping on his trail. Before this mystery is solved, Dick, it's going to lead into the heart of Asia!” Dick had risen and was striding the room in evident excitement. “Good!” he shouted. “That sort of thing is right up my street. I'm heading for the land of the snow leopard.’’ “Count me out of it,” yawned Hod. “And please don’t make my place your headquarters if you intend to take part in the preliminary skirmishes- in New York. They’ve already begun, I’m sure.” The Bannister butler was preparing highballs when the telephone bell rang. “I’ll answer,” said Hod, waving the man back to his task. “Maybe it’s Karen,” said Dick hopefully. “It’s Bellevue Hospital,” retorted his brother. He listened intently for a minute, his face clouding. “My brother will be over there directly,” he said. “Thank you for calling. Hod hung up the receiver and turned to his brother. “Toole’s been blackjacked,” he went on perplexedly. “A gurse was talking for him. He hasn’t asked for the police—wants to see you alone." Dick alrtady was headed for the door. “You’ll find an automatic in my bag,” he flung back. “Take it, Hod, and go up to the Sire apartment. See that no harm comes to Karen while I’m away.” He was off. “So that's the end of Toole’s little chat with Whipple,” Dick muttered as he sped toward Bellevue. « * * Meyers was down to shirt and trousers when he admitted Hod Bannister to the Sire apartment, an attire identical with that of the policeman, whose feet minus shoes were sprawled across a dainty footstool. The butler's embarrassment told the story. Maurice Sire and his daughter had left the place for the night; Meyers would not otherwise have risked the bit of informal entertainment for the copper, toward whom he had shown such magnificent indifference while on duty. “Where did they go?” Hod asked curtly. “Southampton, sir.” “Did they go alone ?” “Dr. Laughlin and Mr. Sire’s chauffeur went along. The doctor came up shortly after you left, sir.” Hod remembered Sire’s pallor upon re-entering the library after j the mysterious call to the hallway. His own foreboding rushed back to him. The message evidently had affected Sire deeply, since he seemed to have required the services of a physician. "I’ll call the Southampton house later,” he said. "I assume Mr. Sire took his plane from the yacht club basin. Am I right?" “He didn’t wish that to be known, sir.” Meyers replied reluctantly. The policeman was calmly pouring

out a drink, causing the butler to add: “I am taking this liberty because we have had a difficult day. "Yes,” agreed Hod, glancing at the copper, “sleeping upright m a chair has its discomforts.” “Oh, it’s just a routine job, placated the flatfoot. “Captain Boyle thought the folks would feel easier with a cop at the door.” “Os course, there is no further danger,” contributed Meyers. It relieved Hod to learn that the Sires had gone—he had dreaded the task his brother had imposed upon him as being a bit too melodramatic. He did not know just how far Sire trusted Meyers with his personal affairs; at any rate, this was not a matter for indiscreet meddling. He determined to go back to his apartment and await his brother’s return. Dick stepped out of a cab at Bellevue. Toole was in a private room with a bandaged head. He explained that his skull was intact but that a house surgeon had done some tailoring on it. “Well, I collared Jeff Whipple again,” the detective said grimly. “And you’re still ’One-Armed’ Toole,” Dick rejoined. Toole nodded an unruffled assent. “I picked Jeff up in the grand ball room of the Ritz,” he went on. “My idea was to hold him for the line-up in the morning, figuring that Matt Boyle would need someone to begin on by that time. All he’s got so far is a bus-load of the Prince’s flunkies. I was on my way down town with Jeff when a car crowded us to the curb. I was reaching for my rod when Jeff crowned me. The rap made nte lose interest for a while. The taxi man drove me here.” “Y’bu seem to be made to order for Mr. Whipple,” Dick replied. “Did he steal your watch?” “Go ahead, have your fun,” encouraged Toole, “then tell me what happened at Sire’s house tonight.” Bannister saw that the honest fellow’s pride was hurt, despite his stoicism. “Don’t mind me, old spud,” he said, “we’ll be together at the next meeting with Big Jeff.” He told him as briefly as he could of the mysterious message that had come to Sire and of the latter’s curious behavior after he had received it. “He was stiff and pale, you say, when he returned to the room?” Toole asked. “Like a man on his way to the gallows.” “How was Miss Sire acting before that happened?” “Quite in the ordinary way of a hostess, only she seemed a bit nervous when I told her that it wasn’t you who took the stiletto out of the aquarium—she had noticed its absence before coming down stairs.” Toole groaned. “If the cops or the servants found the stiletto, she’d have known about it,” he said. “So would her father. Y’ou say the policeman was still at the door?” “He was there, all right, but dozing.” Toole touched the bell; when an orderly appeared, the detective asked him to buy or borrow a cap from someone in the hospital. “The old derby won't fit over the turban,” he remarked, touching the bandage. “Where now?” Bannister asked as the orderly returned and handed a can to Toole. “We’ll have a talk with your brother. You sent him back to the Sire apartment, didn’t you? Perhaps he knows now why Sire was so pale and stiff when he told you both to leave him.” But Hod Bannister had little information to impart except that he had gone to the Sire apartment only to find that father and daughter, accompanied by Dr. Laughlin, had left suddenly for Southampton. “We’ll go up to Sire’s place and look around,” Toole decided. “Not I,” said Hod. Toole and Dick left him and ascended to the twentieth floor. The detective rang the Sire bell but there was no answer. Re tried the door and found it unlocked. Stepping inside they saw Meyers and the policeman—-silencers off and makin' a hun’rad an hour—on the floor. “I ought to turn this stiff in,” growled Toole, taking the policeman’s revolver and thrusting it, barrel down, into an empty Scotch bottle. “Let's go to the upper floor.” Bannister followed him. The room in which the murder had been done was dark. Toole threw a beam from

his pocket lamp upon the •q“ar,um“Huh, it ain’t there.” he ’ nu ( tt4re '“. Bannister touched a swokh and flooded the room with light. To gether they gazed down into the water. Little blue and silve .fish were parking low near the ruined castle but there was no sign of the stiletto. The detectives eyes dropped to the floor. “Still wet, he remarked. "The fella who took out the dirk must have been here not so long ago. About what time was it when Sire was called to the door. “Ye gods!” groaned Bannister, "do you think that’s why Sire was so pale and stiff-that he had been knifed at his own door with a policeman stationed there?” “That’s what made it so easy—it threw both the butler and the boss off guard. Matt Boyle instructed the cop to keep an eye on everyone who called. Meyers probably was thinking of Sire’s comfort when he kept this caller out in the hallway. “The policeman was asleep even when Hod and I left,” Dick retorted bitterly. “If he’s still pounding his car when we go out,” Toole consoled, “I’ll take off his badge and pin it on the seat of his pants. But I don t think, after all, that I’ll turn him in. They say that when thieves fall out honest men get their dues. That rule works both ways. You see what has happened so far. Matt Boyle threw the boots into me and I came back at him. It won't help any to put this poor rookie on the carpet. Let’s look around.” Bannister did not follow Toole into Karen Sire's room. He stood sheepishly at the portals, as one who had been barred from paradise. When the detective emerged he merely said, “Nothing in there.” But the next room, somewhat disordered, yielded something. A large trunk with the lid leaning against the wall caught Toole’s eye. It was empty—with the exception of a thermos bottle and a biscuit carton. The detective turned to Bannister. “There’s the story,” he said. “Read it,” suggested Bannister. “One-Armed” Toole began to “read” while Dick, stupefied, dropped into a chair. “The guy who killed the smoke came up from Southhampton in that trunk,” Toole droned. "He stabbed his man and threw him out of the window, then hopped back into the trunk and closed it. He was there all the time Matt Beyle and I were searching the apartment. He was there while I was putting out all that flossy talk about the Whipples. He was there when you and your brother called on Sire.” “And he was there,” thrust in Bannister, "while Karen thought she was alone here on the upper level. But how did he get past Meyers and the cop to reach the hallway?” “He could have rolled a string of ashcans past the cop without waking him up. The killer probably watched from the stairs until Meyers got away from the door, then slipped out.” “But he posed as a house servant when he rang the bell,” objected Bannister, “and that would imply the need of a uniform.” Toole merely shrugged at this. He thrust his lamp down into the trunk and closed the lid. “Switch off the light,” he said. Bannister complied. In the darkened room gleaming little specks could be seen at the side and end of the trunk. “Gimlet holes for air,” Toole elucidated. “This job was carefully planned. The man who came here in this trunk might even have worn a house uniform. That would have helped in a getaway.” Bannister glanced at his watch. “Past midnight,” he said. “Where will we go now?” “To the hay,” Toole said feebly. "I’m all in.” y The detective, indeed, was sagging badly. He admitted a rotten headache and the approach of a fever from the terrific How Big Jeff had dealt him. He and Dick descended the stairs and walked past the sleeping butler and policeman, Toole omitting the promised pleasantry of pinning the rookie’s badge to the seat of his trousers, but he did permit the gun to remain, muzzle down, in the neck of the whiskey bottle.
