SYNOPSIS Beautiful Ruth Tyler, blind daughter of former District Attorney Daniel Tyler, is psychic and foretell, murders, but te powerless to reveal enough information to that the tragedies can be averted. These manifestations occur while Ruth, a talented musician, plays her violin—and always at night. The girl becomes terror-stricken and suddenly this strange power grips her. Her father enlists the aid of Dr. Jan Karasc, noted psychiatrist, but as Karasc is working on another case, he sends his young assistant, Nat Benson, to study the girl. Nat is introduced to Ruth as the son of het father’s college chum, in the city on e visit. One night, when Ruth has a spe‘l, Nat prevents Tyler from trying to soothe her, with the result her vision is keener than ever and she is able to reveal the name of the person marked for death. This time it is Paul Y Gordon, an international banker. Nat telephones Gordon, warning him his life is in danger Next morning, Nat. Tyler and Rutb call on Gordon. He is skeptical of Ruth’s psychic powers and does not take the warning seriously He claims he knows of no one who wou!<4 want to kill him. Tyler is exasperated attd the trio leave. Checking up on Gordon, Nat learns there is no record of his past beyond 1917 when he became a member of the firm of Street & Company. In that year a member of the company, David Grahame, and his wife lost their lives on the “Lusitania" and Gordon adopted their daughter. Doris. An autobiographical sketch states that his second marriage was to Carlotta Montez in Madrid in 1916. Beyond that Gordon’s life is sketchy. The autobiography also records that he married Eleanora Cummings in Chicago in 1904, yet , the Chicago Bureau of Vital Statistics has no record of that, nor is there any record of the birth of his two children. Everything now depends on Ruth. CHAPTER X But three days passed without Incident Ruth played every night in the living-room, without interruption Afterward, in their own rooms, Nat and Tyler lay awake ever y night for hours, listening. On the second night they heard the music. But it did not falter. On the fourth day, in the afternoon, Nat sat in Ruth’s sittingroom, talking idly with her. Tyler had gone out directly after luncheon and had not returned. Nat’s mind wandered. He hardly heard Ruth as she talked along. He was thinking of a pair of high-heeled slippers sticking out from under a yellow roadster, of a piquant smear of oil on a firm and delicate nose, of a friendly smile and the gay wave of a slim arm. Ruth stopped, and he looked up to see that she was smiling at him. “Your thoughts are far away, Nat,” she Said. He laughed, a little embarrassed. “You were thinking about the girl we met on the road?” she said. “You art a mind-reader.” he smiled. “In the spring a young man’s fancy—" Ruth said, gently teasing. “Is she very pretty?” "Very,” Nat said. Later in the afternoon he tried to read a novel. But he could not keep his mind on the printed words. He was anxious and uneasy over the prolonged interlude of quiet. If danger threatened Paul Gordon, might it not also thieaten the lovely Doris ? He hoped not. . . . And yet, if he could shield her— His thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of Tyler. "Would it interest you to know, Nat,” said Tyler, “that this house is being watched, and that I have been followed all over New York for more than three hours?" Nat stared at Tyler for a moment blankly Then he chuckled. "I guess Mr. Paul Gordon is doing a little checking up on his own.” he said. “Pei haps,“ said Tyler gravely. “But does it occur to you that this mav be the work of some one else?” Rat stepped quickly out into the darkness of Seventy-ninth Street and without looking about him, proceeded swiftly toward Central Park. He heard footsteps. Some one was following him. . . . Then it was a general surveillance of them all I He smiled grimly as he turned the corner under the bright streetlight, rapidlv. Then he darted quickly in to the building line, waited. A

man in a gray soft hat came around the corner. Nat stepped forward, almost bumped into hnn. The man turned a startled glance upon him and then looked away hurriedly, walking on up Fifth Avenue. Nat gazed after him thoughtfully. He was satisfied on one noint, anyhow. The man wa» neither of the two tough-looking fellows he had observed at the Gordon estate. Just to be sure that the man was really following him, Nat walked south to Seventy-eighth Street and then turned east, stepped back and locked up Fifth Avenue. The man in the gray hat was hurrying toward the corner. Nat went on around the block and back toward the house. Across the street, in a shadow, he saw another man. Well, maybe they’d do some guessing now. He turned in at the Tyler housa and started up the stairs, taking out his key. As he opened the door, Ruth came out of the living-room, the violin under her arm. “Nat?” she said. “Yes.” “Good night,” she said. And for the first time she kissed him—lightly, a sweet sisterly caress; and then she was swiftly, surely mounting the steps. He watched her out of sight, and then turned to find Tyler in the living-room doorway, looking at him with a grave face. “It’s come again, Nat,” Tyler said. Nat followed him back into the living-room. “You were hardly out of the door when she asked for her violin,” said Tyler. “I almost called to you. But I didn’t want to break the mood. I could see she had that strange compulsion to play. She played only a bar or two, and then stopped.” He paused and looked at Nat. “Yes?” Nat said. “She »ays the attempt to kill Gordon will be made very soon,” Tyler said. “Nothing more definite?” asked Nat “Nothing,” said Tyler. “Should we warn him now?” “I don't know,” said Tyler. “It's a frightful thing, I suppose, to gamble with a man’s life. We’ll do all we can for Gordon, despite his attitude. But you know how he is—he wouldn't believe us, unless we h»id something very definite.” “Then it’s his gamble, not ours," said Nat. “We can only wait, and hope that Ruth will know when the time comes.” Tyler nodded. He bade Nat good night and went to his room. Nat thought of telephoning Dr. Karasc. But it was late, nearly midnight. And he doubted whether the Doctor would give him any definite advice. No, the thing to do was to be ready. When the time came, they could warn Gordon. If he ignored t— He went to his room and prepared to keep a long vigil. He read for hours, doggedly, finishing a novel. Then he rose, yawned, stretched and looked at the time. Ten minutes to four. He’d better get some sleep. He was just taking off his tie when the music began. He stopped, his hands still on the lie. His face stared back at him, tensely, from the mirror. Then what he strained for, waited with pounding pulse for, happened. The music stopped suddenly, on a crashing discorji. Stopped as it had the night when Zangara the assassin was about to strike! Nat flung himself at the door. Tyler was just emerging from his own room. Without a word, the two men ran down the long hallway. Tyler opened the door. It was quite dark. Nat fumbled for the switch. When the lights came on, they saw Ruth standing still in the middle of the floor, her fingers caressing the strings, her face dead white. “Thank God you’ve come!” she said. "Quick! There's so little time. Phone Gordon. There’s murder in the air I" Nat sprang to the phone, dialed the operator, barked Gordon’s pri- ’ vate number, urged the utmost speed. Ruth had begun to speak i again. “Warn him that the assassin is about to strike,” she said. “The s danger is immediate. It’s a matter ’ of minutes at the most. I can feel ■ it. . . . Death—waiting—waiting—i but horribly imminent—dreadfully . close!” . The dark house on the rolling > hillside of Westchester slumbered i quietly. At the main entrance Cooke, the lean man with the hooked 1 nose, was passing the time of night - with Nelson, the roaming sentry. - It was five minutes to four. l The phone at Gordon’s bedside

I “Hello," he said. i “Mr. Gordon," said an excited , voice. “This is Nat Benson." , “Are you crazy?” barked Gordon. “I thought I told you—” The voice interrupted peremp- 1 torily: .. . “Don’t be a fool! I m trying to warn you. You are in great danger! At any moment you— ’ “Good God, man, let me alone. Gordon cried angrily. “Can’t yoi* understand —” Another voice came nn the phone, suddenly, tense, vibrant, a girl’s voice. “Mr. Gordon!" it said. “Look outl Some one is about to firel” Gordon, in a swift reflex motion, flung himself sidewise in the bed. Then, simultaneously, there was a spurt of flame, and the crash of a pistol-shot. j' Ruth, on the other end of the wire, turned a white face toward her father. “It’s happened,” she said dully. Gordon’s eyelids flickered. He blinked spasmodically in the bright glare of the light. Then he raised one hand, half-shaded his face and opened his eyes slowly. He was on the bed; and bending over him was his beautiful wife Carlotta, in negligee, her face filled with anxiety, her dark eyes clouded with concern. He felt her cool hand on his forehead, which throbbed terribly. At sight of his open eyes Carlotta gave a little gasp and bent closer to him. His head still rang, rang with the sound of a shot, and with the terrific impact of something against his skull. He felt the flesh at the roots of his hair gingerly There was a great lump there, and something wet. Carlotta smiled, then, tenderly and brushed her lips against his head where it throbbed. “Darling.” she breathed, “you are all right?” “I—l don't know,” said Gordon shakily. “My head—” Then he saw the others grouped back of Carlotta: his young daughter Helene, pale and trembling; Doris, white-faced but controlled; Johnson the servant; Nelson the squat broad-shouldered Swede in charge of the night outposts; and his son David, who now pushed closer and bent over him. “You must have struck your head on the edge of that table,” David said. He indicated an overturned table beside the bed. It was the heavy, square bedside table on which the reading-lamp had stood. The broken lamp lay beside it. “But there—there was a shot,” Gordon said, his mind clearing. He sat bolt upright quickly, ignoring Carlotta’s hands, glancing quickly at Nelson. "Nelson!” he said. “You caught the fellow?" Nelson shook his head, puzzled. “None of the boys saw a soul," he said. Carlotta gently but Insistently forced Gordon back onto the pili low. , "Now, Paul," she said softly, you must lie still until Dr. Grace • comes. David get him on the ■ phone.” At the word "phone” Gordon : struggled suddenly to rise. He rei membered now. The phone! Carlotta way trying to press him back, but ■ he waved her aside and sat up, his 1 eyes going to the telephone on the i stand at the other side of his bed. ’ The receiver was in place. “The phone." he said harshly, i “The phone. Was it off the hook?” i “Why—l don’t know,” said David. : “Johnson got here first. Did you : notice, Johnson?" “Yes sir,” said Johnson. “It was ‘ off the hook.” • “Now, Paul, you lie back and rest," Carlotta interposed. “What . has the phone got to dp—” ’ “Was anyone on the wire?” Gordon interrupted, addressing his son. t "Dad, I—l don’t know," David • confessed.. "I was pretty excited, you see. Thought you’d been shot, 3 at first, cten I saw that gash in ? your he*. I— I just reaictnber r jiggling the hook madly until the 1 operator answered. Then I called - Dr. Grace.” i' Gordon stopped the sudden general babble of voices with a gesture r and reached for the telephone, called :i Tyler’s number. Again he motioned e for silence, as questions started to d well up from the group about th* t bed. . . .
