Eberhart’ Chapter 49 TEN MILLIONS—GONE 0U see,” 1 went on, “you went too far to make me think Low schiem was the murderer. You hoped he would try to escape rather than face the police, and. your plan was ‘to arrive with the police and catch me red-handed, for if Lovschiem was ever to escape he must do 8o then, and you thought you'd thor- oughly frightened him. But it didn't ‘work. You see, you heard the con- versation in the courtyard between. Stravsky and Lovschiem.” “Marianne—" The word came rather shrilly from the coat collar. *“‘Marianne couldn’t have told you. The conversation was in English. Marianne cannot understand. Eng- lish.” “Jim,"” cried Sue wildly. “It's true. Marianne has told what Marcel saw. He saw Lorn—Lorn—in the court- yard the night Stravsky was mur- dered. He told Marianne and he tried to tell you. And he was— killed.” It was then that Lorn lost his head. For he wheeled suddenly and began to run. He was out the door and was run- ning blindly through the court with his head down. ¥Well—they caught him, of course. HEN the detectives arrived from Paris the next morning they made short work of the whole tissue .ot horribly interwoven threads. Lorn was the last man | should have expected to confess, but con- fess he did. It was late the next day before we had the whole story. The wind was still blowing, ana the lounge where Sue and Mrs. Byng and I sat was cold. Mrs. Byng was knitting furiougly,~and Pucci perch- ed on the table beside us and took the liveliest interest in the conver- sation. ¥“So,” said Mrs. Byng, “the Loy- schiems were actually in the busi- ness after all. The Lovschiems and the dead Stravsky and this young fellow who pretended to be your brother, my' dear, and this Elise person who's been. wanderin;. about like a lost squl all day. Quite a conspiracy!"” “It arose very simply,” 1 sald. “Lovschiem has confessed to con- spiracy. 1, gather-that when your ‘mother, Sue, told them of the money walting for you it was irresistible. The rest was simple.” " “But how in the world,” said Sue worriedly, “¢ould they bape to con- vince a lawyer that Elise was—Sue Tally? The lawyer would be partic- ularly suspicious, owing to Francis's murder.” “Why not? She would have the token. However, the Lovschiems did not know that the priest was Francis. They suspected me of being your brother at first; that is why Madame tried to keep me out ‘of jail.” “I've got to know,” boomed Mrs. Byng, “how Lorn escaped from th elevator after he had killed Marce! “He 'says he - simply walked" through the corridor while | was struggling with the police, dodged into a vacant room to avoid your coming and the others, There was Jess chance in walking down the winding stairway, sheltered by vines as it e, and crossing the coust 10 the lobby door affer Marcel was killed, for everyone was in the lounge. There was no one to see. Yes, ‘chance favored him that time, But he preferred killing stealthily. By poison.” “And when he killed the priest— Francis Tally?" “He returned again unobserved by way of the winding stairway, and later, when it was over, left the same way. “But why did Lorn rescue you twice if his aim was eventually to make you the victim?” “He wasn’t ready for a victim {yet. ‘An¢ he wanted Sue’s con- ‘fidence. And he knew that the police still ‘would suspéct me. 1 was fn danger from him from the moment he knew that | knew of the;braken seal. And he had a pretty plan to catch me redhanded. But Lovschiem didn’t try to escape. And I didn’t shoot. And Pucci found Sue’s ‘token—" “In that hussy’s bair!” Mrs. Byng was knitting with dangerous abap- don. “And you knew—" s “l knew Madame Grethe had put something in her hajr when she came from Lorn's room. Puccl pulled It out, and it was Sue's half of the token. I knew It must be Sue's halz, for she herselt had her broth er’s halt, "And it had come from Lorn’s room.” o “Then Lorn was acting entirely Aalone?" *“Eutirely, It was a simple miatter of°greed. There was that ‘extra- h ‘so. Samething happened: llons. Why shouldn’t he have them? Do you remember, Sue, how re- markably definite he was at the very first about the lines that-a con- spiracy against you must take? He'd thought it all out. He hadn’t hissubstitute yet, as the Lovschiems | had, but he thought that part would be simple.” Mrs. Byng snatched at the knit- ting which had dropped -out of her hands and slid toward her knees and asked: “Did the priest—your brother, I mean,. my.. dear—did he suspect Lorn?” “Lorn says not. He's been— boasting a bit. He says he guessed the priest was Tally, taxed him with it, and they arranged a meeting in the deserted White Salon. But Tally unwisely told him two things: told him he’d left the affair In the hands of his lawyer so, if anything hap- pened to him, Sue could still prove herself and inherit the money. And he also told him that he had found Sue's token, had it with him, in fact, and that he was going to acknowl- edge her as his sister at once. That settled Francis’s fate then and there. Lorn was deft and quiet with his needle.” “Elise says she was not near the north wing the night Stravsky was murdered until after. his death, when Lovschiem hid her in the fire- place cupboard. So the black figure you saw must have been the priest. What was be doing there?” I started to say prowling, but with a glance at Sue I sald instead: “He seems to have tried to keep a close watch on Sue, | imagine he simply saw the'light and came down | the north corridor to investigate. We can't know, however. He must have barely missed Lorn's own visjt to my room.” Sue shivered and spoke, “Did Lorn confess about the sword?” “Yes. He used it for the very reason he told us a criminal who was clever might have used it. He slipped into the north wing merely to, reconnoiter; he wasn’t so hur- ried then, for he thought there was no possible chance ‘for the body being discovered before morning. And the first thing he saw was the sword clock. He took the sword and left the corridor just in time, I sup- pose, to escape Francis.” 'HERE was a short silencc. 1 looked at Sue—Sue with her millions—Sue looked at Puccl, Mrs. | Byng stared into space and her lips moved absently, and Pucci seratch- ed. Mrs. Byng's cogitations became audible: *...and Stravsky arrived after Jim und, naturally, registered, since he was to be about the place for a while, and used momentarily the room Marcel thought was un- used. Marcel did not see him—that was luck for Lovschiem. Then, after Stravsky's murder, they had to change the register hoping to keep Stravsky's identity and thus any connection with them a secret.” “Then, pursued Mrs. Byng earn- estly, “what happened to the car Stravsky had used when abducting Sue?” *“It was Lovschlem's car,” | replied wearily. “All Lovschiem had to do was put it back in the garage.” Mrs. Bypg gave me a sharp look, gathered up ber kaitting and Pucei, and vanighed. Vanished is a singu. lar word to use in connection with one of Mrs. Byng's substantiality, but that is what sbe did. I, too, shoved .ack my chair and Sue looked up, startled. ve ot to pack,” | said. “I'm glad things bave worked out for 1 hope you emjoy your—ten miliions,” I had my foat on the first step.ot the stairs when Sue's quiet obser- vation reached me. “I haven’t ten millions,” she said. “What did you say?” “l baven't ten millions.
