CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE It was a pood thing that Sydney Went with Martha to the cottage in the cove. For when they came back, a little Inter, he carried Pauline, wrapped in a blanket, from the car and Into the ranch house. Her white hair wan blowing around her face, all color gone from her cheeks except round red spots that spoke of fever. She was bmp and relaxed in Sydney's arms as he carried her up the stain. She hardly seemed to weigh more than a child aa he laid her on the bed. Her eyes were dosed and she scarcely breathed. I called for Dr. Henry /ind askM him to bring a nurse when he came from Gallina, and he said he'd be over right away. We made Pauline as comfortable as we could, and then there was nothing to do but to watt. “WhataboutFlonbdle?" tasked Martha. “Her room was empty. That’s all I know." It was then I told Martha all I knew about Florabelle. Before Martha could comment, the doctor arrived. Dr. Henry rpent a long time in examining Pauline and looked grave when he eame out of the bedroom. “She's had some kind of shdek. 1 couldn't My just whaL But she seem* to be in a rather debilitated condition generally. I can’t say how much of this ia shock—how rr.uch fever and chflia. She must have a heavy cold. A touch of flu, perhaps. I It's too early to say exactly what to ; took for, but ake must have ahso- ' lute quiet." "1 must ask her about Mrs. Hunt," Mid. “We must know where she has gone. It may mean everything to us to know that." "There’s no use in askinf her anytMng right now," Dr. Henry said. "I’ve just given her a hypodermic that will quirt her for sevi oral hours. I doubt if anything she’d say would help you, In any event She’s wandering. Mrs. Hunt ! will have to wsiL" I was clenching my fists with nervousness. "But if we enald only find out where Florabelle has gone. When she left It might mean somethmg to Lance—" I begged him. He was adamant , "If you bother Miss Dawson with ( any questions today, HI not answer for the consequences," he Mid, sternly. 1 frit he meant it too. "Aheolute quiet That's what she Be left us and started for the door. Then be turned back. “By ( the way," he added. "I wish you'd nnffle the telephone bell. Every time it rings the winces. She must 1 be pecollariy sensitive to Bounds of any kind. The bell rang all the time I was tn there with bee." "ft’s the operators celling for Harry Craven," Sydney answered. “They often try to get him here when they don't know where else to eall him. Saa Frsaciscc has called several times. GaHina's been eall- ' tng him for koan and the district I attorney’s office is wild. Stevens i h.mself called and raged at me boi eauM I couldn’t tell then where Craven u. As if I cared!"

Pauline Uy In a atupor upstairs, a riorae by her bedside—ana Lnnce nat in jail, waiting, suffering, stunned by the ehargea against him. e e e e The first result of the disappearance of Harry Craven wav the quashing of the indictment against La nee. 1 had suspected all along that Craven was that mysterious “key witness.** I was sore now that he was desperate. Every attempt he had made—all the planting of the gun, the hiding of the money, the perjured testimony — all was in vain. He was trapped. And trapped by several perils at once. Craven's connection with FlorabeP.e Hunt—whatever it was—was out. That quickly caused the -collapse of hit house of cards. He eould not know the disclosures made by the man from the cement mixer. But ho must know that the web he had woven was dosing around himself And he was gone. Search all night and the next day failed to find any traces of Harry at the offices of the business, at his dub in the city, in Gallina, at the dam or in any of his usual haunts. Certainly be was not at Castaway, where a nurse hovered constantly over Pauline Dawson as her fever slowly subsided. Jost what legal technicalities were involved fn that dismlsss! of the charge against Imnee Gregg 1 did not know. Indeed, I hardly inquired what points of law were involved. 1 had to aet and act quickly in seeing Lance. He must know—at once—what the man had told me in the auto camp. Re would know what to do. I felt. Instinctively, that time was important— but I eould not know how important it was t« prove, I drove to the court house to find Lance and he was gone. I had not seen him since he left with the sheriff and the district attorney. But at the offices of his lawyers I found him, looking thinner and paler than before, as stunned now by his unexpected release, as he had been shocked by his arrest. I blurted out the story of the man in the auto camp. “So Harry was stealing cement." I said., •'and I hurried to tell y*m." Lanes stared at me without seeing me. He sat so st»H I thought he hadn't understood. I repeated my words. "Then he ruined the mixture! I knew aH along he was s murderer I” "What do you mean?** "Look. Gerry." Lance Mid. For the first time since he was relcssed be showed some animation. "Did build a sand eastk at the “Yes—but what has that to do with it?" "Do you rememb*? what hspp’"* to your sand castlee when they dry?" I nodded. "They crumble. Why?" “They crumble! They crumble! That's what*i going to happen to Gallina Dam, Gerry. That'S mat's going to happen to anythieg made of concrete If the mixture Isn't right. There must bo exactly the right amount of sand to the right amount of eement. Or else you don't have concrete, Gerry. You have sand eaatle*." His quiet words terrified ma. Htook his hat and started ter the door. "Geodby Garry Thanks ter being such a swell big.
