Kupperman and Jack Iger of New York University-Bellevue Medical Center, were among the investigators who said they found this new drug both effective and free of side effects.

CHAPTER THIRTY ANSON wm speaking again. "You can drop that shotgun, Gratton.” 1 dropped it “You both saw that wild eagle zttack me,” he stated carefully. “I mw you bring it in with a lure and kill it," I said. Ha wm kneeling by the dead bird now but keeping the pistol and his eyes on me. With his free hand he began playing with the limp talons. Then I MW what he wm doing. "No, Gratton, you’re mistaken. I was throwing the lure for my peregrine and the eagle came at ne. You mw it all” “I see you now, taking the jesses off your own eagle—the one you flew at me." He had the leather thongs off the eagle’s ankles without even looking at them. Now he got to his feet and slipped the jesses into bis coat pocket. “No, Gratton, you see the eagle has no jesses on IL It’s a wild bird." He shrugged. ’lt may have been the one that attacked you, I couldn’t say, but you should be grateful to me for killing it.” "Maybe Dana should be grateful to you for killing Harrison Purcell." . “You’re entirely confused, GratUm." “I mw him on Spine Rocks Saturday afternoon. You killed him with that eagle, the way you tried to kill me. The difference was, he had white hair. You had to plant your white fur hood on me." "Anson. No." Dana’s voice was harsh. "You Mid you put out a rabbit." “He put out a man. We found Harrison Purcell's body less than an hour and a half ago.” . “Go ahead. Tell him, Dana." Anson’s voice was gentle. “Did I fly an eagle Saturday?" Dana’s answer didn’t come. I turned. She was staring, grayfaced at Anson. “You do see what I mean, Dana?" Anson asked affectionately. “This man’s suffering from hallucinations." “White hair," Dana was speaking Slowly, as if she were reading backwards. “Rabbits and chickens —always white. But only after my father came last spring.” Anson wm smiling on her like a doting uncle. Dana was still watching him, wide-eyed. “You were displeased that Tundra had been trained on white arctic foxes before we got her, till test spring. Then we started using white "targets. You said ft wm because—all along you —you— Oh, you beast." She covered her face and shuddered but she didn’t cry. “You’re mistaken, little sister. We never had an eagle. If you’ll just recall Saturday." “What’s he talking about?" I Mked. “He flew it Saturday. You must have seen him." "No* Dana said dully. "He didn't fly Tundra Saturday. He wm there, but he let me do it."

She is Ayako Murata Bernardetta Aton, 7, and was adopted from orphanage in Japan. The Atom live near Scranton, Pa. (International)
Anson wM watching me with those eyes of his. “Don’t try it, Gratton." The hand with the gun began to shake. “Brother —why?” Dana begged. “What reason was there? What had he ever done to you ?” “What had he done? You ask me what Harrison Purcell had done?’’ The face twisted. "He took my mother—your mother, my beautiful mother—away from here, away from me. We were happy here and he came, with his talk of the world and foreign places. He took her out of this, here where she belonged, took her away from me. He didn’t care about what happened to me. With that superior look of his he sneered down at me—me. Compared with my breeding, he was a peasant. When she sent for Cricket to come to her I went along and 1 found her —my beautiful mother—bloated and ugly, carrying his child while he went about his precious career M if it were all perfectly normal. My mother was his woman, she was only fit to bear his child." The eyes were wide and reaching far beyond us again. They remained unblinking as tears streaked his race. "Yotrask what he did. I saw her die when you were born. That man killed her. As certainly as though he'd used a knife, he killed her." “You didn’t kill me,” Dana said. “Pm the one who caused her death.” "You were all I had left of her.” There was a fierce, mad tenderness about him. "Cncket and 1 brought you back. You were halt my mother. 1 could stamp out the other half, the part of him that wm in you. 1 brought you up to love our life here where we belong. You gave me affection—in a small way you replaced her. And then, after years of contentment you had to see that picture of| him. You had to write to him.” "He was my father," Dana said. “1 had a right to know him.” “You brought him back. He came—for one last indignity for me to suffer—to take you from me.” Anson's voice was climbing. "He’d done it once—taken the one thing I loved and killed it He didn’t do,it again.” A soitnd reached me above the high pitch of his words. A car engine laboring up a grade. There was a chance 1 could needle him into talking long enough. X. "Why didn’t you let it go as an accident ?” 1 asked. "Why biiry him and take the Cadillac so far away?” He came back in focus on me, pushing the long hair away from his forehead. “You.” He jerked his head toward the ridge across the valley. "You with your camera and your inquiring binoculars trained on me from the tower.” His upper lip lifted to one side. "Your impertinent questions, your fawning over Dana. I think you have made an unfortunate mistake.” "No, Anson,” Dana cried. “You can’t.”
"Don’t move in front of him, Dana. This man has come on my property, armed. He’s threatened me and I’m within my rights to shoot in self-defense. You’ll remember the details, little sister—just as you’ll remember the details about last Saturday. Then there’ll only be the two of us again, with nothing else to spoil it." "There happens to be a flashlight exposure of you taken when you came to bury me last night,” 1 said. “And a picture of your eagle flying back to you Saturday." He stepped nearer but he was holding the gun too close to his side for me to reach. Dana slid between us but Anson shook his head. “No melodramatlcs, Dana. You have better taste than that" ■Tm thinking about you, brother. And last Saturday. There’s a better way—that leaves you out of it.” “Yes ?” He didn't move his eyes from me. "Luger," she said, "there behind you Let Luger do it." Anson's face lit up but he didn’t turn. I think he was counting my pulse pounding in my head. “You’re learning, Dana. That's right, stand back." His face went blank. “All right, Luger." He snapped it like a drill sergeant “Get him.” 2 His eyes were absolutely empty, waiting, never leaving mine. “You heard me, Luger." He frowned impatiently. "Get him.” "It’s Tundra,” Dana said breathlessly. “He’s got hold of her.” “Damn you, Luger. I said, get him.” Anson’s head made a tiny move in the direction of the bird. My left was never very smooth. This time it needed to be. It was better than that It was perfect It caught him crosswise on the jaw and he went sprawling onto the rock. 1 tramped the hand still holding the gun but it wasn’t necessary. He was out *• • • The Skyscraper dining room twenty stories above the traffic sounds of Vanderbilt Avenue, New York, may be a long way from the ridge across from Sleepy Creek mountain, but not for me. I’ll have to go back to the mountain when Anson comes to trial. I only wish I didn’t have to go through it all again. It’s bad enough for me but what will It be for Dana? They say my flash picture coupled with her testimony are the things that will convict him, if anything can convict a Metcalf to that country. My luncheon date across the table smiled at me as I said: "It will be wonderful In those mountains, Dana, you and I together, always. Os course, there’ll be trips from time to time, assignments, but . . . “But we’ll always go back to our mountain home.” She finished my thought for me. Her fingers reached across table to grip mine. She gazed at me. I know now how Butcher Boy feels when she looks at him like that. (THE END)
