CKAPTSR THIRTY-TWO Brule** voice was still quiet "Had you—any definite evidence that Crystal was murdered?” he asked Steven. It brought Steven up short. He pushed his hands through his hair, stared at Brule and said: "Good Lord, no!” “Then why—” “ Why did I write the letters to the poliee? Why, to bring thing* to a h< ad. of course. To clear it all up. To”—bi* hands groped into the air --“to bring It a!! out in the epea sc we could see where we stood." Brule said a little grimly: "Well, if that was your intention, you succeeded.” ”1 mean. 1 didn’t realise what it meant! I thought the police might just -oh. inquire a bit, stir things up I couldn't go on any longer as it was. and I—” He stopped and again shoved hi* hands through his hair and said with a touch of tragedy: "But I didn't know it would be like this” "No, I suppose you didn't," said Brule gravely. “Well, it’s done now. Steve. Forget it." "Forget it?” “Certainly. let the police go on worrying about it. That's their trouble " "But, Brule, you don't seem to understand. I'm a murderer.” "You— ” Brule strode to where Steven stood and caught him swiftly and savagely by the arm "What do you mean, Steve? You can’t mean "I m< an I’ve caused two murders.' Two. If I hadn't written the letters,” i said Steven with the simple reason-1 ableness of a child, "neither of those 1 murders would have occurred. So I'm g<>>ng to tell the police. All about it The whole truth “ "About Alicia too?” Steven hesitated, hie troubled, dark eyes seeking Brule's. "Alicia . . . But it's the truth, Brule Alicia and you ...*' There was another moment of silence Then Brule said heavily: "Oh yes. it's the truth all right. About—Alicia, I mean. And me.” The truth. Well, she'd already known it. She hadn't needed confirmation And Andy would be waiting, and she must leave that house - forever, it would be—before night Before it was too dark to insure the success of Andy's plan. Steven had moved. He had taken a step nearer Brule and put bis hand, now, on Brule's shoulder. It was the last thing she would have expected Steven tn do, yet it wws like him. too. For his hand was obviously a comforting one. He said, “Brule, 1 understand Don’t worry. I—l’m all right about it now. I've come through the worst of it- -the jealousy and all that It's all dear now. I—l’ve learned that you have to accept things Alicia loves you. It's just one of those things; one of us had to lose. And - all those months when I didn’t know well, 1 understand that now, too. You’ve always | been so g,>od to me, Brule; you were always so strong and 1 was weak, and you—you understood everything H»w could you have eome to me and told me the truth when you knew how I loved her?” Rue said brusquely: "I'm—going upstairs—" "Wait, Rua,” said Brule "I want you to hear—" "I've heard enough " She waa at the door. The studio was empty, the I side door unguarded

"I’ve had the truth,” she said and looked at him Hi, face wore its mask, but kia eyes were dark and ' bright with anger “I’m going," the said and caught herself on the verge of saying, ”. . . away from your house. 11l never return. 11l make things easy for you You can have . your divorce. You ean marry Alicia—” She didn’t say any of it She glanced at Stevvn, standing there so the light fell dearly upon hi* slender, haggard face, with Ito sensitive mouth. i|s high forehead, its look of introspection and the faint, intangible stamp of weak- ' ness It was only in his music that he had command; life itself and the emotions and problems engendered simply by living were too muck for i him. Yet was it that he compre h.nded too much rather than too I little? He said suddenly: “Rue. will you forgive me? It seemed the only way then. 1- didn't know what I waa letting you in for—l didn’t know t what I was doing." She put out her hand to him It wa* a gesture of farewell, but neither of the men knew it He took it in his own. She said: “I know. Steven.” And t ' bad gone from the room and was halfw.ty up the stairs before the I little phrase proved its familiarity. It was what he had said to her. "I know, Rue.” Meaning, I understand. Poor Steven. But she wouldn’t i think of Brule. Not now. There i were things to do. No one was in the upper hall Her decision to leave was made It was the sensible, indeed the only course to take She told heruelf that. I selecting and quietly donning a | dark tweed coat. She pulled on a small brown hat and over it al! her bright green rain cape with Its i' concealing hood. Remember fare I f r the elevated, she told herself; >1 there waa a little change in the l pocket of her coat; that was all ; I right, then. All ready now. She t i i must hurry. At the foot of the stairs the mail,: iust delivered, lay on a tabic, and | er own name on a letter caught her : I glance. She took the letter, thrust; 11 it. too, in her pocket and went on i without looking closely at it I So far it had been easy; no one had looked at her. no one had stopped her. Perhaps it wouldn't be difficult She didn't know, and there was no way for her to know, then, of| a conversation that was, perhaps, going on at that very moment. Inal brightly lighted, official-looking! room at police headquarters, over a table which was bare except for a stack of reports and a small brown bag ”!'m going to make the arrest. She gave the woman poison in medicine likely ; she gave it to the Garder girl in the tea.

I didn’t need to question her about it; 1 already knew it belonged to her; I know what’s In it. Now the case is pretty complete, and I’m ready to make

I’d feel better If the bartender ! would talk ” "Well make him talk " [ Silence again Then Angsl's voiC-< i sharp with impatience: "What’s the , matter? Youve still not satisfied, "No. I’m not." "Yow still think tbe bag of nurses' supplies and drugs indleatee her in.iocvnre?” "Welt, Lieutenant. I still feel if she’d taken poisen from that bag slu'd have got rid of tbe bag mighty quick Or at least the medicines in i A I still feel she'd have had the sense to get rid of such evidence. .. ! Look at the stuf. Lieutenant ’’ Dirty little fingers dewed into the little bag. pawing over email bottles, neatly labeled, little bone Silence again Then a voice at the door: "Funk, you're wanted at the Town Club. That cloakroom business agsin By that time, probably, Rue was outside the house, safely through the hall and past the closed library door, and through Steven’s studio end out the side door. Cold sir and rain touched her face Her bright green cape was like a flag A policeman, in uniform with a heavy caped mackintosh over it, was standing at the bock gate He turned, saw her. and Rue, her heart pounding, walked along tbe brick walk toward him. “Is it—all right," she said, "if I walk up and down here?" “Certainly, Mr* Hatteriek.” he said at once. His heavy face looked cold and impassive; he watched her ; stolidly. She was approaching the difficult | part of it; well, she told herself. It would either work or it wouldn't. She'd carry out tbe bit of acting Andy had suggest'd She walked up and dbwn tbe strip of lawn; the second turn brought her near the hedge which divided I their strip of lawn from Guy’s; she hesitated, went through the little opening, and the policeman did not stop her She went up th* walk toward the door of Guy’s conservatory, a small glassed room flung ou* from and adjoining his dining room. ! She hesitated there, too, perceptibly, as if in indectstoe, and that was the I hardest thing to do because she felt perfectly certain it would give the I policeman the time and a chance (if he needed it) to atop her. But. incredibly. It worked as Andy had said it would work. ApparenUy the policeman took it to mean, simply, that she'd had an impulse to enter that house (what would he more natural than to want to see their lawyer?), had paused to think again, and then had entered. For she did so, and the door to the conservatory waa not locked. That had been the second point of danger. She closed the door behind her and peered through at the policeman. He was watching and had not moved, but she thought there was a kind of stigneaa and alertness about that stolid figure. Now hurry. Quick. Hurry — because the policeman had moved. He was following her. No, he waa going into the Hatterick house. Tn set another policeman on her tgail? To get help? It didn't matter. She knew what to do.
