The key rattled as he thrust it into the jor lock. A light switch clicked. 2if He's dead—the master—" ning was hysterical. “Keep those women back, Kirk," Samuels muttered. Parados lay in front of the patio window, which was closed, as Flique had said. The fingers of his right hand and the toes of his shoes were dug into the carpet. His left hand was clenched against his chest Annersley, Johns, and I pushed in. Kirk let Mrs, Parados enter— but the others he swept back. “Stay there,” Kirk demanded.) “Don’t leave the house, none of you.” Mrs. Parados looked at her hus- band with hard, expressionless eyes. “So this is the end of you, Dan,” she said quietly. “And we turned | it into a game.” | The doctor was holding up the left hand of the dead man. A com- | mon price ticket with a cotton| string dangled from it. I dldn't} think we actually would find the price ticket Flique had introduced into his “game.” Samuels removed the ticket and I noticed figures on it. “Thirty-five cents,” Samuels mut- | tered. “A small sum to intrigue so rich a one,” Fliqgue murmured. “Yes,” Samuels said, “that hits me, too. We can't trace it. They make ’em by the billion. You found him?” '/ “Yes, monsieur.” “The body hasn't been touched?” wTo satisfy myself he was dead” “What time did you find him?” At precisely four minutes of seven.” samuels grunted. “Any idea how Jong he had been dead?” | “Perhaps 20 minutes.
