Alone? Miss Agatha asked and the wistfulness in her voice hurt Then Ill see him in the livme. Annie. room, ing The maid pushed the wheel chair down the hall. I sat at the desk and strove to set down on paper, after Miss Agathas prescription, my own outline of the Morello mystery. I found it hard, for each item bore innumerable streamers of surmise and suspicion. I do not know how long Allegra had been standing in the doorway when I looked up. I rose clumsily. She was still pale but she seemed more tired now than angry. There was a droop to her shoulders and I cursed myself for feeling pitiful. She said at last: You make it just as hard as possible, dont you? A few hours earlier she had pointed out the abyss that lay between her and me. I had sworn then never to strive to rebridge it. Sense still assured me that it was best for her to remain on her side and I on mine. Hunger for her, desire to aid her were checked by memory of my recent, adolescent idiocy. It hurts to have even a silly dream kicked apart. I said: I beg your pardon. You heard me. I made no reply. She went on, like a child reciting a lesson: If Ive misjudged you, Im sorry. Miss Paget, I told her, I misjudged you and am even sorrier. I came in here, she told me, to apologize because Agatha thought I should." She might have been talking to the butler. There was no call for her to put me in my place. I was there already and had sworn not to leave it again. I said: That seems to me about the worst reason in the world. Again she apparently hoped for something in my face that was not there. She muttered: You make it very hard. She was just a kid after all. Which was still another reason why things should stay as they were. So I said: You said that before which leaves us just where we started. Do you want to leave it there? she asked directly, and I forced myself to answer: Annie when Miss Agatha said I flinched impatiently: Cant you do it? She rolled forward to take the key. It turned as she moved and I pulled the door open before her advancing chair. There it is, Miss Agatha said, over Her voice died. The harsh sound of her indrawn breath set my neck to prickling. The light of the ceiling bulb poured into the maw of the storeroom. It shone upon something at Miss Agatha's feet at which she stared, at which I gaped, first stupidly, then in frantic disbelief. I bent forward. Careful, Miss Agatha warned in a dry whisper. Dont touch it." t THE - CHAPTER XVIII Wind boomed in the elevator shaft and I heard the whine and catch of a car shifting gears in the street. The rest of my mind had stalled under its sudden load. Close to my ear Miss Agatha's breath came and went quickly. So we remained for a palsied instant, watching the object on the storeroom floor. It lay just within the ventilation space at the iron doors base a bizarre item for a spinsters storeroom, yet, in itself, nothing to wake dread. It was a knife with a black leather handle and a worn gray blade, streaked with what might little-theat- scarcity of cash. While seated at a lonely breakfast in his club ona morning a debt collector stormed in, and presented his bill. Sir, said Doublex, glaring at him, is this all you know of tha asages of decent society? To present a bill to a man breakfasting? Do you know that you are an intruder?

Senator Groesbeck, now sleek and pompous, passed the doorway. Miss Agatha trundled herself into the room. What was Allegra doing in heTe she asked. Apologizing," I said. She gave me one of the looks that made me feel she was counting my vertebrae and then said, Hah! in an odd tone. Thereafter, her mind dwelt on other matters. I wish," she complained, that I hadnt so respectable an attorney. I need a scoundrel who'll help an idiot who wont help himself. "As bad as that? I asked. She nodded and lighted a cigarette. Grove, she said, is being held as a material witness. He still wont talk, so theyre going to take him before the grand jury presently. If he doesn't talk then, hell be indicted. Her brisk voice was armor that, i know, hid great distress. She brooded a minute, while I groped for words and then asked: Wheres the typewriter? You said, I told her, that it was in the storeroom. Why didnt you get it?" Miss Agatha, I asked, can you imagine Higgins letting me rummage through a basement storeroom without a writ of mandamus, a habeas corpus and a strong-arsquad? The lines of worry in her face slackened and she chuckled. No, she admitted. Im an old fool, David, but just the least bit bedeviled today. Well go down together. I trundled her into the hall and rang for the elevator. She said nothing till the car appeared, but the grim lines had deepened again on her face and I knew she was eating her heart out for her nephew. Hoyt took us down. I could see his ears pricked for tidings, but we did not speak. I had propelled Miss Agatha into the basement hall. A wan light burned there find the air was heavy with the familiar smell of lime and coal gas and cabbage for the Higgins dinners, past and present. Miss Agatha dug in her handbag and chose a key from a ring. Along one side of the basement hall was a series of iron doors, with gaps at lintel and threshold for ventilation. They guarded the cubbies that served as attics for tenants of the Morello. It was against one of these that I had reeled during my dark struggle with the intruder. I thought, as I fumbled with the lock, how brief a space by actual measurement, yet how long ago, that had been. Perhaps if I had been less clumsy that night, I might have ended the mystery. I might have saved innocent folk much danger and distress. The smell and gloom of the basement allied themselves with memory to tighten my nerves so that I object less to that, David, than to the knowledge that he is laughing at us now. I never have liked to be laughed at. Its been my By VIRGINIA VALE legs, I suppose. Heavens, our as(Relcaae by Western Newspaper Union.) sembled brains should be as good as March of Time has his.

It was the knife that had hung in s the sheath they had found on murdered body. It had been driven into its owner's heart. It had uttered the flat sound of smitten metal when it had fallen during my struggle in the basement, to lodge inside the door of the Paget storeroom. I bent over it again. Miss Agatha made no further protest as I picked it up by its point, swathed it loosely in my handkerchief, and rose. Her eyes met mine and asked a question. I feared to answer. I heard myself say: We had better go upstairs. She nodded. I placed the handkerknife in her lap chief-wrapped and trundled her to the elevator shaft. We were silent on our upI ward journey. In the work-roopicked up the muffled weapon carefully and laid it on the desk. Then I faced Miss Agatha. It was hard to ask the question. The knife had killed; it might kill again. It was the link between the murdered and the murderer. My voice was hoarse: What shall we do, now? She blinked. Her speech was calm as her face: I think we had better telephone Captain Shannon. I sa d: There may be no ones fingerprints on that Knife There may be anybody's. I could not speak her nephews name, but she understood. Call Captain Shannon, she said, and there was a lump in my throat as 1 obeyed. I spoke only briefly, asking the Homicide Bureau chief to come at once with a fingerprint man; then hung up on hi3 further questioning. The receiver clattered as my shaking hand restored it. Miss Agatha said: We both need a drink, and rang for Annie. I nursed the liquor I would willingly have gulped. Miss Agatha sipped hers and at last spoke part of her thought aloud: This was what you heard fall, that night in the basement, but how why I dont see Her voice ran down. I said feebly: Unless it is a maniac Uncertainty left her. She gave a crooked smile. Who had designs on Higgins? she seeded. David, Lyon Ferri-te- r is no maniac. He is amazingly clever.

He killed the visitor to his Black-beard- Its Cochrane. He sounds so sleepy, I know hes excited. May he come here? At once she refused and then, to my amazement, gave way before my arguments. I pleaded that it might be important before Shannon came, to learn what Cochrane had discovered. I said we needed the alliance of Jerrys quick mind. Miss Agatha consented at last: Have him come, David. Youre very stubborn and I I imagine Im getting old. I bade Cochrane hasten and hung up as Miss Agatha said: Allegra, my dear, will you tell the hall force that Mr. Cochrane is to be admitted? The fur collar of the girls cloak softened her face and the February wind had lent it color. Her aunt told her dryly and briefly of our discovery. Allegra glanced past me at the swathed weapon on the desk. Then a thought startled her. Agatha. Youve sent for the police. And no one knows whose fingerprints may be on that knife.
