In that second the door had stopped its' briet motion and was firm, though I'd heard no noise." “Come out!” 1 said. There was not a sound inside the ‘wardrobe. ‘I started to fling open the door, and the door-resisted. ‘I pulled and exerted all my force, and it still resisted. It was during that moment that 1 was conscious of hearing a voice in the hall, but only taintly. The key was not in the lock. Was it possible that the thing was locked trom the inside? At least, 1 could aot get it open, and there was some- one inside the wardrobe. 1 glanced about for a chair or table I could swing at the door:- And in that glance 1 saw that Sue was gone. 1 dropped the chair and was at the door. I was in the corridor. Sue was not there. I tried to call to her: Sue--Sue. | believe I did call out, but my voice must have been husky and strained, for although she was very near— she said afterward that she dic not hear me, did not even know that there was someone in the ward- robe. ” I ran down the hall, past Mrs. Byng’s door, and into the intersect- ing corridor. And then, with a po- liceman trying to detain me—and t daresay I looked rather mad—1 ran back to the corridor that passed Sue’s room. And there was Sue in the very act of opening the door of Mrs. Byng's room and coming from it into the ball, talking contentedly with Mrs. Byng in the room beyond as she did so. I slopped abruptly. The relief was so great to see her there, not & hairron her head touched; that I felt- actually a little dizzy and gueer. “There you are,” 1 sald breath- lessly. She looked at me unconcernedly as I came nearer. “Mrs. Byng opened her door and spoke to me—asked me:to step In her room a moment.” She saw,.l suppose, something of my feeling in my. face, for she added quickly and - anxiously: + “I thought you heard her speak.—What is it?” “There's someone ‘in th. ward- robe in your-room,” 1 said rapidly, recovering myself. “Tell this po- liceman, will you?” Her eyes darkened with fright as she spoke quickly to the man. His own face took on suddenly an acute- 1y uneasy look, but he had the grace to turn rapidly toward her rogm, and we both pressed through the door. 1 crossed to the wardrobe and n-lled at the door. ND it swung readily open. There was no. shot. There ‘was no motion. There was no sound. ‘There was only a ‘sort’ of vacant space where Sue's gowns had been pushed back oa- their thangers. Well, I knew ‘what™ I'd’“seen. 1 knew the wardrobe door- had. not. budged under my hand, though I'd" pulled hard and it could not have been stuck. ‘But the policoman didn’t believe me or didn’t want te delleve me, and in either case the effect would have been:the same. And by that time 1 didn’t see ‘my- self that there was mich use start- ing a search for the pérson whe bad beat such a hasty and skilled rotreat during those few momients' when I'd been in the main carridor. But'1 was interested te note that. the wardrobe lock actually did go clear through into- the inside, and: the key was on the {nside. Certain- {1y no place for a key in a wardroha. |1 said finally to Sue: I “You and Mrs. Byng go on aovm ito the lounge to tea. I'll go with iyou to the stajrway and watch untif] [nu are safe in/the lounge: ‘Promige: /me to 8tay near the others.™ It ran hhronn my mind that 1t was in the| vary lounge that little Marcel had /{been killed. But I bad been the only’ ‘fother in' the room, then—I and the Phe- policeman, relieved, vanish- Mrs. Byng stalked beside us, 1 22 1 glanced over it down into the lounge. Grethe and Francis and Lorn were still there, with Mari- anne’s black hair shining near the tea table. Sue followed my glance and lifted her eyebrows inquiringly, and I shook my head. Yet it didn't scem possible that it had been ‘Lovechiem in that wardrobe: “Later,” | said rapidly to Sue, re- ferring to my- wish- to learn -just what Francis - bad. said. = She un- derstood ‘me; but: she:looked trou- | bled. Mrs. Byng passed a little | ahead of her at the top of the stairs, and im the rustle. of that lady's numerous garments Sue | teaned toward me and sald quickly: “Soon. It's tmportant.” She start ed to follow Mrs. Byng, looked back at me, hesitated, ahd then added with a kind of catch in her breath. “Be very careful.” Then she ran lightly down the stairs, and | watched her shining bright hair. 1 went down the service stairs whieh led from beyond Marianne's room, and straight ‘thrcugh tc the ground-floor = storerooms .of the north wing. 1 knew that these storerooms had been searched; nst once; but sev- eral times, by the police. | knew that their only connection with the floor above them was by way of that narrow passage and up the service gtairway. 1 knew that they were practically unused and that neither the police nor Lorn had connected them in any way with the strange affaire that had taken place in and near my own room, HE rooms were,large, dark, and silent. 1 gave the first few rooms, which were bare and empty, only & glance and went farther along to the room which lay directly under the White Salon and under my own room. One large iroom stretched shadowily along what | judged was the full length of ' both the upper rooms, and here I managed to open a shutter. The ceilings, unfinished and with rough beams, were very low. The pipes for the furmace which pre- sumably supplied the upper fleor of the north wing ran openly through these rooms, and*l looked with some interest at the spot whese -they passed into the radia- ters of my own room and to the White Salon. But it was among a group o bar- Tels in a corner of the room that'l found what [ found: something Lorn would have immediately discovered had he given my: statemeats any weight in his own mind. In Lorn’s mind I played an entirely different réle than that of investigator. Not that tHe thing | found was ineriminating. to ‘anyone. “But " it did go far to prove a possibility that was in my mind. For it was an eiderdown, a new, little-used eider” down covered with red silk, and it | was wadded up and thrust into the bettom of one of tlie barrels which, was then turned upside‘down. For some time L'stood there hold- ing the thing in my hands, follow- ing a terse train of thoughts. Sue’s abductor had been, she thought, slender—lean. Someone’ had used an eiderdown in that room very recently. ‘The edor of tobacco smoke very late one night had floated up through the hole in the ceiling where the hnilng nlpes ‘went ‘through. ’ But could that strange sigh we had- heard so clearly that very 'morning fn the White Salon just above have come from guch a dis- tance? The tobaceo 'smoke had been not quite tangible! it’ might have been not quite tangible; it might have been explained by only a strangely shifting current of air, But that sigh had been wholly tan- gible. Someone near us had sighed, and there was no one near. “But-1 dared met linger too long | in that empty, rapidly dnkenln.
