CHAPTER EIGHTEEN Drue was shivering; I took her hands again and held them tightly. And thought hard. "You're not to tell about the hypodermic. Not tell anyone." Her hands clung to mine. Her eyes, dark with horror, searched my face. "They'll say I murdered him,"

I she whispered. "Is that what you're i afraid of?" j I had to tell her, then. "Listen, Drue. I lost the syringe. That is, I didn't lose it. I hid it and someone j found it and took it away." I There was a sharp silence. In the ' next room Craig slept heavily. Outside, rain and sleet whispered against the windows. Drue whispered stiffly, " Who . . .?" "I don't know. I hid it In the fern; I guessed what you had done; I didn't want them to know. It's

gone now, so someone must have seen me hide it. I don't know who. But;it's gone, and your fingerprints are on it. They can easily prove it was yours; there will be traces of digitalis in it." After a long moment Drue said with a kind of incredulous horror, didn't murder him. I didn't . . . But if he was murdered, they ought to know what I gave him and how much." She stared at me with a kind of terror for a moment, then shook her head. "No. I'd better tell them exactly what I did." , It frightened me, but more than anything it exasperated me. "All rig-tit," I snapped. "Go ahead and tell them you murdered him! That's exactly what it will amount to. Or shall I tell them? Craig- may come to see you in jail but I doubt it." "Sarah . . ." "There's a time for nobility, Drue Cable, but this isn't the time. However, if you're bent on making a martyr of yourself I won't stop you. Heaven knows it's nothing to me. You make me come here; I didn't know I was walking into anything like this. I'm going home unless they stop me. You can do exactly as you please." "Sarah . . ." She caught my arms. "Sarah, I'm not that kind of fool." "Oh, yes, you are. I can sie it...." "No. No." Her hands dropped away from my arms. She stared down at the dressing table with its rosy little lamp and crystal bottles. "I won't lull them. I cannot believe that he was murdered. I saw liim. Yet if oh, you're right, of course." "Certainly, I'm right." I paused

thoughtfully. "Did you use all the

supply of digitalis you had, Drue. "No. Only enough . . ." "We ught get rid of the rest Of it." '

"But Sarah, when ft I eventual-

'. ly tell them about it, as I may have to do..." "I know. It might look guilty.

But I think it's better to get rid of the rest of the digitalis now in the

hope it necdnt ever come out-

about the hypodermic, I mean. Some

policeman might get his hands on the digitalis; Chivery may see the hypodermic mark. No, no, Drue, it's better to dispose of the rest of

the digitalis now. 1 11 do it . . .' "Ho," she said quickly. "I'd bet

ter do it myself. I know exactly where it is. I'll go. Now."

So she went, leaving me per

plexed by the look of sharp anxiety

in her face. It was as if she had remembered something she didn't

want me to know about which was

nonsense, of course. What could there be in her room, in the little nursing bag, anywhere in the house,

which she wanted to keep a secret?

When presently she came back,

slipping quietly into the room while

I was sitting beside Craig, 1 whis

pered, "Did you get it?"

Her face looked very white and

her breath was coming quickly; her

hand was in her pocket. She shook her head. "They were already

there. They . . . Sarah they've got

your little black bag you know;

and mine. I saw a policeman go

downstairs with them. Oh, Sarah..."

we stared at each other across

Craig's bed, and rain whispered against the windows. Finally, I had to say, "Never mind. It doesn't prove anything. Don't worry."

Digitalis. And they had thought

of us, nurses, and had taken the little instrument and medicine bags to search even before they could possibly have got results from the autopsy. I didn't like, that, but I didn't tell Drue. Craig slept and

the rain beat down and there was

no way of knowing what the police

were doing, what Alexia was doing and Nicky, or Maud. Waiting, too,

I imagined, as we were waiting. I couldn't then try to discover the syringe. If the person who had found it in the fern (who must have seen me place it there) had taken it to the police then we were already

lost.

If it was murder, then who? Who had shot Craig? Who had killed his father? I had ensconced myself on the couch in front of the lire by that time, feeling that since we could accomplish nothing by further talk, Drue and I, I might as well try to

get some sleep.

Just as I was about to catch the tail of a nap I began to think again of the telephone call to the police. Who had called them? And more important tremendously important why? In that answer, I thought suddenly, with that queerly eldsive clarity one discovers on the edge of sleep, might lie the answer to the whole' ugly problem. After that I was wide awake for what was left of the night. ' Craig slept heavily and seemed none the worse for his mysterious peregrinations; Drue sat in an armchair near the bed with her starched cap off and her hair a little rumpled from pressing her head back

against the cushions of the chair

her face pale, her eyes very dark,

watching Craig' sleeping iuctt

broodingly. It rained all that night, rain and sleet and rain again. We could hear nothing of what was going on in the house. Twice I got up

and tiptoed into the hall, once go

ing down the stairs, pausing again at the fern. But the syringe was really gone.

' The hall below was deserted, but

Nicky Senour and Peter Huber

were sitting in the morning room

in front of the fire, smoking. There were state troopers in the library;

I went clown into the hall and as

far as the library door. No one

stopped me and I wanted to see what they were doing.

I was little wiser for my pains

but convinced, if I had not been be

fore, that they were in earnest about an investigation. For they had been taking fingerprints from smooth surfaces in the room; they had been using a tiny hand vacuum on furniture and rugs; the decanter of brandy had been removed; there

were chalked crosses on the sofa

and on the rug indicating, I thought, the position of Conrad

Brent body. Pictures had been taken. The body of Conrad Brunt had been removed. Two troopers were still there, one

of them writing shorthand notes,

The other blowing a small cloud of yellowish powder from a contrivance that looked like a tiny bellows upon one of the wooden panels across the room on the right side

of the fireplace a panel that I saw

then, was actually a swinging door leading into a tiny washroom, for I could see walls tiled in shining, pale green beyond. He turned to look at me and the trooper with the tablet stopped writing to look at me, too. There being no welcome in either look but rather the eoii-i trary, I retreated ; anyway I had seen all I wanted to see. Nicky looked up as I passed through the hall but did not stop me. Peter however came out. "Have you told Craig?" he asked. "No." "Better not for a while." "What was that noise, Mr. Huber? You remember while you were calling the doctor. Did you find out about it?" He frowned; his face looked tired and worried. "I didn't find anybody," he said. "From the sound I thought a window had been broken somewhere. I looked all along the hall leading toward the back of the house. But I found nothing to account for it." "Could there have been some some intruder? A thief, perhaps'.'" Peter shrugged. "I don't know. I'll tell the police about it. 1 take it Craig is all right?" "Oh, yes." "They took him away Conrad Brent, I mean. I suppose they are doing an autopsy now." Nicky watched, bright eyes intensely curious, as I took my way upstairs again. That must have been about four or five o'clock a cold, gusty February dawn. By six Craig hadn't wakened. At about seven Beevens, clothed in his right mind as well as trousers and dark sack coat, brought Drue and me some coffee and toast. Breakfast would be along soon, he said ; in tlii meantime he thought ve might enjoy the coffee. He spoke to me nd looked at Drue with a kind of sympathy. Naturally all the servants knew of her position in that household. Perhaps the romance of it ap-1 pealed to them, but I think they

liked her, too. (To be continued) Copyright by Miumm G. Ebfrluirt; Distributed ty mint t'etlures Syndluiut, no.
