1245 GrAtnHOX - CHAPTER FOURTEEN Craig had said murder and now Conrad Brent was dead. It was not a comfortable thought. Even so, I was a little taken aback find my hand had front; out toward the brandy decanter. I was, indeed, in the very act of lifting1 il and reaching for a glass when I stopped. Having been practicing teetotaler ail my life. I withdrew my hand quickly; alLhoucli, as to that, there was not enough brandy in the decanter to make a very black mark on my record. I had, however, already touched the decanter but I thought nothing of it, then, and looked again about the room. Clues? There weren't any. Not even cigarette or cigar ashes. A cuff link would have come in handy just then, 1 thought, or burned papers in the fireplace. But there was nothing. Nothing but Conrad Brent, and the only thing I could be fairly sure of was that however he had died, it was due in the end to an acute heart block. His face was ashy gray, wilh a tinge of blue in the lips what is called cyanosis. He still wore dinner clothes, except he had taken off bis dinner jacket and replaced it with a short, brown velvet lounge coat; his black tie hung in strings, anil his collar was open. I was looking at that when without warning bombs began to drop on the house. At least, it sounded like it. For ali at once somewhere in the house there was a thud, a series of loud thumps and then a clatter as of shattering glass. I ran to the door of the library and flung it open. The noise stopped as suddenly as it began, except it seemed to me there were echoes all through the house. No one was in the hall, and I had started toward the stairs When Peter Ifubcr came running from the end of the hall, beyond the stairs, gave a wild look around the great empty hall, saw ni 5 and shouted. "What was that?" He didn't wait for an answer but ran up the stairs taking the steps three at a time and I ran after him. The noise seemed to come from the second floor and Drue was up there alone with Craig, who had been the victim of one attempt at murder the previous night. Well, I'm not too fleet on my feet, although I took the stairs at what amounted to a gallop. When I reached the hall above, Peter Huber had disappeared. The main, wide Dart of the corridor stretched dimly away ahead of me and behind me; there were two or three night lights along it; they were not bright and ibe shapes of occasional chairs ranged a.uaihsf the Walls loomed up like clumsy dark creatures waking oherc for prey, but did not move. A narrow corridor crossed the nain one just on the other side of ;he stairwell and appeared to lead award the servants' wing and ackstairs; Peter Huber must have urned into that or into some room. ! didn't stop to look for hiruv As I ran along that dim, wide jorridor, my starched, white skirt ustling and whispering against the ihadowy walls, the house began to tit.

DtSTU 3ari Br KINS f-CTURES where, someone flung open a door. Then I reached my patient's room. . It was lighted as I had left it. But the bed was empty. The room was empty. Craig Brent was gone and so was Drue. 1 rushed into the room and searched it a little frenziedly; 1 remember looking under the bed and pulling out the heavy red curtains and looking behind them, though not even a cat could have hidden successfully there. The cat but the cat was gone, too. No one was in the bathroom, no one in the little dressing room. As I came out .of it, hurrying, Maud Chivery, in a voluminous, flowered dressing gown, came sweeping into the bedroom and aimed a flashlight directly into my eyes. "What was that noise? What happened?" she cried. Then she saw the bed and squealed, "What have you done with Craig?" What had done with Craig! "Conrad Brent is dead. He's in the library. You'd better cail the doctor." I snatched the flashlight from her hand. Her face turned waxy and her bright eyes became two sharp points of light; I thought she was going to faint, for she said, "O-o-o-oh," in a kind of whistle from utterly blanched lips. So I gave her a push toward a chair and turned to the door. Alexia was standing there in the door a crimson dressing gown clung to her lovely, curved bodyand fell, .trailing, around her feet; her small, pointed face loomed from a cloud of fine black hair. "Conrad . . ." she said in a kind of whisper. "Conrcrrf.'And then, as I made to pass her, she clutched at me. "Where is Craig? What has happened to him . . ,1" "It's what I'm trying to find out." I unloosed her pointed, vehement fingers and went hurriedly into the hall. Craig couldn't be far away. So.I tried the bedroom nearest me; the door opened upon chill, orderly emptiress and a "Stag at Eve" gazed mournfully at me from above the mantel. No sign of Craig or Drue. I started toward the door opposite and, as I turned, I bumped, into a man hurrying along. We collided with a, shock that whirled us around toward each other and it was Nicky. He all but pushed me out of the way and I dropped Maud's flashlight. It struck his foot, I believe. At any rale, he swore in a sharp, startled way and cried, dancing on one foot and clasping the other in his hand, "Did you see Conrad? Where is he?" "In the library." "Is he dead? Are you sure? Is he dead?" II is eyes were bright as jewels in his elegant, small face. "Go and look for yourself,"-! snapped, and retrieved the flashlight as he hurried toward Maud and Alexia who were at the door of Craig's room. I heard Alexia say, "I'm going down. Come with me, Maud " Then I opened the next door and found Craig. The room was a kind of linen closet, narrow and long, lined with cupboards and smelling of lavender, and Craig lay at full length on the floor with Drue bending over him apparently trying to and Patty, Mrs. Lloyd Sniilh, Mrs. Zilia Ccoksey. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Goodman, W. J. and Cary were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jade Goodman. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Willis were in Indianapolis Tuesday night.

His face was drained-Iooking; she lifted the towel from one temple and it was cut and bleeding. "What happened?" "I don't know. He wasn't in his room when I came upstairs. 1 looked for him and found him here. Like tliis . . ." He wore a dressing gown and slippers and a blanket had been put around him. "Blanket and all?" I asked, kneeling to look closer at the est. "No. I brought the blanket. He must have heard us downstairs, and tried to come, and fell against something." "What was he doing in here?" His pulse wasn't bad; I took a gingerly look t the dressings on his shoulder and the wound hadn't opened again for there seemed to be no fresh bleeding. "I don't know. But he was here, not in tho hall. Is he hurt?"' There was a sharp anxiety in her tone. "Oh, the cut isn't bad. Painful maybe, later. We'll put something on it. The thing to do is get him back to bed before he gets pneumonia." I sat back on my heels and took a long breath. Drue said jerkily, "When I saw him like that ' I thought he was dead. There'd been no sound of a shot. But I thought . . ." She stopped and leaned over him and pressed the towel to his temple again. .My knees were still .' shaking. "What was the noise?" I asked. "What noise?" "What ..." I stared at her face, bent over Craig. ''That noise! Surely you heard it." "I didn't hear anything," she said, intent on Craig. "Perhaps I was in the bathroom. Sarah, do you think we can carrv him?" I gave up. "No," I said. "I'll get somebody to help." I got up, and. as I moved,1 Craig Brent's eyelids fluttered and opened. His eyes were hazy, the pupils were small and sharply black so I knew he was still heavily dragged. But his eyes fastened upon Drue's face leaning close above him, fastened and then changed as if a flame leaped into them. His lips moved s little and he said in a faint whisper, "Drue ..." She didn't speak; she only leaneo over him, her white cap haloish lithe light, her face inexpressibly tender and brooding. I cleared my throat abruptly and said, "How die i you get here? What happened?" "He didn't look at me; I don't ' think he heard me. He just kept or looking up at Drue with something alive, something urgent and important and so vital it had almost a being of its own, in their meeting look and in their stillness. Yet Conrad Brent lay dead in th study; a hypodermic syringe was ir my white pocket; and Craig ha warned, "there'll be murder done.'' (To be continued) Cf,j)jTlRbt by MSenon O.

GUARDED SECRETS about the powerful gunfire system on the Black iWidow P-61 lighter plane, including the fact thai four .50 calibcpj' machine guns on a revolving turret can be aimed and fired by gunners located in comparative safety many feet away, have been revealed by General Electric, builders of the important equipment. This is the first official photo of the Black Widow, top above, shewing the plane's top turret, that houses machine guns, lower photo, which . are controlled by a gunner either in the rear or front compartment.' with the gun control interchangeable. A highly sensitive system of electrical and mechanical parts enables either gunner to instantly and accurately align the guns in response to quick sighting changs, with automatic interrupters to prevent their firing when aimed in a direction to endanger any part of the ship. .. i (Interaitionul)
