Chapter 43 THE DIVISION E WERE to become Immediate- ly ranged in two different camps. And it happened $ust then, ‘when the muffled sound ot voices in the parlor became more definite and ¢lear and all at once Sue swept angrily into the lounge. Francis, angry too and showing it less pleasantly, followed her. His face also flushed, his eyes were nar- row back of those studious spec- tacles, his hands were working nervously. Sue said, every word falling like a brittle little icicle and yet mar- velously polite at the same time: “1 hope you don’t mind my telling Mr. Lorn and Mr. Sundean of our talk, Francis. You see,” she turned to me, “1 have asked Francis if he will permit me to have a lawyer represent me, 1 feel—" *No reason for it at all,” burst in Francis. “1 came here from America to Ssettle things with this girl. To give her a chance at five million dollars—and she holds back and prattles about a—" “l beg you not to interrupt me, Francis.,” | ‘was faintly amused to note that as Francis grew angrier Sue grew sweeter and cooler, but it was most infuriating sweetness and coolness. “I'm most grateful to my brother for such an effort,” she went on. “THough - perhaps it might have been 'made sooner—before 1 had been subjected to—" Her sweet- ness faltered a little there, and she swept on quickly, preferring not to talk ot the horror that had dogged her days. “At the same time, [ can’t help feeling that just because. of the amount of the money Involved, it is only fitting and suitable. to ask a lawyer to counduct naegotiations for me.” Francis's eyes were very uarrow; ¥ heard a slight rustle behind me, #&nd 1 saw him dart a quick glance in that direction, and I had no doubt Madame Grethe had made her appearance. “Come now, Sue,” said Franeis rather pleadingly. “All you need %o @o is let me look at the token you have. It it 1s what it is supposed to be, the thing is done. Do be sea gible.” + “But, Francis,” said Sue very sweetly, "“is there any particular reason why you refuse me a law- yer?" There was an lustant or twe 'of silence before Francis's ‘gatiering rage rose to Lis lips. Sue attacked s0 sweetly, so coolly—so gallantly from my own viewpoint, because I knew of her empty hands. 1 knew of tbe infirmity of her ground. “Do you mean,” demanded Fran- eis, “that you doa't trust me?”’. v “What a thing to say! What a thing to say!”-erled Sue, giving a soft little ripple of laughter that stung Francis and that actually shocked me in its deceiving sweet- ness. All women can shock you unt way. HEN,” said Francis, again glancing past me to where, with a quick following look, | saw Madame Grethe standing, motion- Yess, er green eyes shining— “then;” he said heavily, “you do trust me?” Then Sue, very suddenl!. and in a totally easy and meaningless voice; sald an extremely odd thing. She said, her eyes then on Fran- ‘¢ls, and ‘ber voice quite flat and even # bit bored: “Why should I not trust you? For mow we see through a glass darkly. but then—" And there she stopped and carefully arranged her crimson scart at her throat as It it had ber ‘entire interest. But her eyes through thelr dark eyelashes watched Fran -els. Francis did not speak. He only Jooked angry and bafiied, and his {eyes sought Madame Grethe again. ‘There was a swift little swish of Bilk that broke the singularly tense gnoment. Grethe stepped forward and passed her round silken arm fln‘ou‘h Sue’s. = “Don’t you think you are a little Quruuth my dux‘r‘ ;hc said THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1933. smoothly to" Sue. “Forgive me for speaking, but I could scarcely help hearing you, you know. For your own good I must say this. It s bet- ter for you to do as your brother father’s will and prove your iden- tity to your hrother and let bim take you away. It is only a matter of form. And while { have hesitated to speak before, lest 1.make you feel unwelcome 4n this, .your ouly ' home—still—still you must see what—what a thing you have brought mpon us all” ¢ She paused.' 1 was glad: to see that Sue was steraly unmoved. But 1 think she was still doubtful, still loath to discredit Grethe's motives in her own mind. And Grethe sald suavely: “Think what’s waiting for you, dear. Five million doliars—five mil- lions. The things you can buy. The things you can do.” It was jusc then that Sue’s long, purposefully blind loyalty col- lapsed. She removed her arm quiet- ly from Madame Grethe's clasp. *Don’t Madame Lovschiem,” she said sweetly, “that 1 shall forget what you've done. And I'm sure’ my— brother—will feel most grateful to you {n your attempt to smooth the way before us.” RETHE looked piacid, then faintly puzzled, then suddenly comprehending. Her white lids dropped over her secretive eyes, and she said gravely, as if taking Sue’'s words at their face value: “Don’t thank me, my dear. I've only done what i could do.” “I'm afraid ['m not thankles you,” said Sue quite frankly. “You see, it wasn't altogether kind of you, to keep what my—my motber —told you a secret from me. It was a reticence which is not of a nature to maintain my confidence in your friendship. You and your husband are the only people in Armene be. sides myself who knew of the. cir cumstances of my inheritance." 1 think Sue had not actually in- tended to say so much. Knowing she must fight whether she liked or not, she:struck a little too blind: ly, choosing In her haste a weapon whose sharpness she did pot quite comprebend. But its very unexpect: edness frightened Madame Grethe Theugh, to ba sure, only a close observer might have caught her fright in the sudden leaping of her eyes, in the placative manner in which she addressed Sue aud put an end to the situation with' less adroitness than one might have ex pected of her. “You are tired and unstrung” she said. “Otherwise you would not speak in such a way to me. To your ouly friegd. To—" *i1 .have other friends,” said Sue, cuttings into Grethe's soft spcech without visible compunction. “The trouble is we are all tired and nervous and upset, and no won der. I'll order tea, and we'll all fecl better.” She walked. with a.swish ot green silk to the bell and pushed it with her square, vigorous white thumb. Blisstully Suea little, ; smile flashed. | liked her being able to achieve it. She said with a quiver of mirth in her voice: “I'm not quar- reling.

I caught a greep flicker from Grethe's oyes and heard her saying sharply some thing about Miss Tally's vew ag quaintance, and then we nuuei around the landing. We turned from ‘the lounge we)l with. its blagk galleries and tiny group waiting: down below—and went along to Mrs. Byng’s dqor. Sue knocked. Mrs. Byng did uet reply immediately, and 1 said In a low waice: “Don’t knack again for a me- ment. I’ want to talk to you.” She glanced up and down the cor ridor. Away at the: end a.police man’s blue coat and tight trousers came into view. She said: “Here in my room.” She opened the door. I've never known why I remembered in that hurried moment to enter it first in order to look about: At:any rate, that’s what 1 did while she stood there in the corridoe. i The room was empty. Noone was about. It was only the quivering of the door to the massive wudrvln that caught my eye. t (Copyright. 1933, Mignon G. nnlml What dread secret will the old £eYSAL wishes.
