He did not answer her. In the bright light. Dorinda could see the thin film of sweat on his forehead. He stopped, "Ill get my papers bending over, his arms crossed and pressing against his stomach. "Im afraid, he said faintly. I'm going to be ill. Edward sprang to Morrows side and caught his arm to support the stricken man. Get Carol, he said to Dorinda, his face tense. Dorinda Fears Attack May Mean More Danger MAHONEY I tion. "Thank you." Lana's tone was Indifferent but there was a mounting excitement behind the baby blue of her eyes. "If the sheriff should show up. still wanting to know how I spent Tuesday afternoon, just tell him I'm out. And that you don't know when Ill be back. She lifted one hand in a quick gesture of farewell and a few minutes later Dorinda heard the whir of her starting motor from the driveway. Fay was at the window where she, too, had evidently watched Edward's departure, when Dorinda came into the living room. She turned her head and smiled, that brief smile peculiar to herself which possessed no warmth and left her eyes untouched. Her hand made a swift movement in the direction Edward's car had gone. Edward, as usual, running away from unpleasantness." she said dryly. 1 wanted to talk to him. Dorinda looked at Fay uncertainly. She didn't think she had the courage to tell Fay. without Edwards sustaining presence, of the decision she had made in the waking hours of the night before But, unexpectedly, Fay helped her. Fay in Agreement That Dorinda Should Leave The older woman crossed the floor and came close to Dorinda She looked intently into the girls face. permission? Dorinda felt her face stiffen in astonishment. Had Fay, in some flash of clairvoyance, discovered what she had been planning? "Its queer, your saying that. Its exactly what I would like to do And the reason I wanted to see Uncle Edward. I've decided to tell Mr. Poole that I'm not what he thinks I am and see if he wont let me go away from here. But thought it only fair to tell you and Uncle Edward what I intended to do before I went to the sheriff." Fay nodded as if the words con firmed some secret thought of her I guessed you had some own. thing of the kind in your mind. But listen to me. Perhaps Im a traitor in saying this. But if I were you. I wouldn't tell Edward. Hell try to persuade you to keep quiet and stay here no matter what your rea sons are for getting out. And 1 know, if you dont, how plausible he can be when he wants you to do things his way. Yes, thought Dorinda. "I do 1 know. Then, oo, I dont see any particular reason why you should tell the sheriff who you really are, Fay went on. "And I think I can tell you how to work it. A quick puff of gray smoke obscured her face for a moment. The inquest on Anne is set for tomorrow morning Saturday. It was originally scheduled for last Wednesday but was adjourned, the sheriff hoping, I believe, to find some evidence that it was not a bona fide accident. As you know, he's done a lot of prowling around here with that bee in his bonnet. Naturally without success because Im sure it was an accident just as it appeared to be. "In any event, youll have to attend the inquest. You can't get out of that. The coroner's jury will. Im sure, bring a verdict of accidental death. And I dont see any reason why you can't go wherever you want to as soon as possible after that. I think they've given up trying to solve the mystery of Taylor's death. At least they know you had no connection with it. My plan is this. Pack a suitcase with the things youll need in the next few days. The rest of your belongings can be forwarded to you. As soon as Edward is out of the way and I can see to it that he is I'll take you either to Trentville or Westport, which we find most convenient at the time for catching a train. You'll get back to Los Angeles with money enough for your immediate wants. The thonsand dollars youll find already deposited to your account in the bank where you once told me you had your savings Anyway, you can write finis to your adventure. I fancy youre about ready to do that. Dorinda declared Oh, I am, fervently. "The only thing is She hesitated, ashamed of her fear. I'll have to spend another night here." You'd have to do that tn any event. Fay assured her impatiently. "Do you think the sheriff is going to let you walk out when you tell him you're not the rea! Dorin- Carol took charge with characteristic efficiency. By the time they had led the lawyer to his bedroom, and Dr. Adams had arrived, the stricken man was resting more or less comfortably. Dr. Evans seemed to think I was a little precipitate in giving him an emetic without a doctors say so, but any fool could see Morrow had eaten something which didnt set easily. However, hes sufficiently recovered now to make eyes at his nurse and enjoy having his hand held. She made a little face. "At any rate, Im removed from my status as house guest if anyone can be considered a guest who has never been as much as invited to eat at the family table and am, I hope, back on the payroll. Whether Mr. Thorndyke or Morrow will pay the bill. I don't know. Nor care, so long as I get the money. Dorindas returning smile was wan. He frightened me. she adThat sudden attack. I mitted. thought perhaps You thought perhaps another accident had happened," Carol surmised shrewdly. You didnt see a phantom hand dropping a deadly dfug into his coffe cup, did you? She went on without waiting for an answer. No, my dear, nothing so dramatic as that. Little Morrows trouble is just plain hoggishness. I'm afraid. Too much food, too much liquor I wouldnt know. Maybe he's just working up to a good case of stomach ulcers. When she went downstairs, Greer was just closing the front door. Through the lessening aperture she caught a glimpse of Edward at the wheel of his car just starting down the graveled driveway As she turned, she saw Lana at the foot of the staircase She wore a sheer dress of misty gray under her ilver fox jacket and a small black velvet hat shaped like a ' da?" glorified1 jockey s cap pulled down - iTO BE CONTINUEDI Only Fair went to see a spiritualist last Alaska told the following storj "I landed me boat on an I went ashore and when I go night." to about the middle of the 19 "Was he good?

A string of pearls encircled her round throat and she earned, her arm thrust through the straps, a big handbag of soft gray leather which teemed full to bursting, so full, in fact, that the clasp sprang open as Dorinda watched.
