By Percival Christopher Wren, Author of “Beau Geste” Coprright by Prederick A. Stokes ©0.) FTER a couple of minutes of listening for any sound in that silent house, I crept across and entered the room, and, I ad- mit with shame, sat for a while and gloated upon the hideously dis- torted face of the first of Rosemary's murderers to receive his punishment. And the wicked joy cf my heart was increased appreciably by the thought ing home, crossed the that it was in punishment of that very crime—and not of one of his m others—that this ensmy of mankind met his fate. 1t was over my diamond that they had quarreled, and that he had been murdered, and it was through their theft of my diamond that Rosemary had died. “Number One,"” I whispered. “Num- ber One, you reptile,” and kicked him with all my strength. I confess it with deep shame and contrition. iy But in thcse days I was not really a sane person. And now for Number Two. Evidently Chink Dorson had made a search—presumably for the diamon as the floor in front of an open safe was strewn with scattered papers. Picking up, in my gloved hand, one of these, of which the back was blank. and taking a pencll frem my pocket, I wrote in block capitals: “80 PERISH ALL WHO DOUBLE- CHICAGO CHINK. “SIGNED, CHINK DORSON.” This document I attached to the h'pel of Spider Schlitz's coat, by means of the stickpin from his tie. Surely this would put the British Beotland Yard in communication with self extradited to America and returned for life to the jail whence I had escaped. mrtlnl swittly and safely from the silent house, I walked to the railway station, but only entered it when, in the distance, I saw an approaching train. ‘The same afternoon, b‘[vl the means suggested to me by Willlam in his latest letter, I made my way, at the luncheon hour, into the great park that surrounded the monastery nurs- inds and gar- dens nonchalantly, and sat awhile on & seat in a shrubbery near the house. At half-past one—after carefully studying William’s low window-s! what I correctly supposed to be the doctor’s consulting rocm. It had been my intention, in the event of such success as I had achieved, to sit me down in an armchair, light a consulting room. full, | I had seated mystelf in the deep and | desk, when glancing idly round the | beautiful old room, my eye feN upon, velvet curtains which hung on either side of the window by which I had entered.

Yes, I reflected, undoubtedly my im- pulse had been a sound one. 1 might, it T chcse, hide in the house until a real air of u;:m, would surround my dis- covery; 1 might, if lucky, by remain- ing where I was, overhear with benefit to” my plans, conversation between Charters and ' Machado or Gryde: I might, by waiting and listening. leirn which of his female staff were 'Frisco Fanny and Loule the Lady, believed by | Wwilliam to be respectively his own and his son's wife. And at least T could choose my own dramatic moment for confronting him, and starting that reign of terror which I hoped to inaugurate. According to his daily custom, ex- actly as Willlams H. Willlam had told me, the man Charters bustled into the roorlv‘n and set about his afterncon’s work. .. . Nor was it long before I was listen- ing, with breathless interest, and boiling ation, t3 what was obviously & plot between him and the relative of one of his patients, for the murder of that patient. Not, for nothing had I associated with, listened to and watched some of the worst and wickedest criminals in the world. ‘These two—the faces of both of whom I could, now, thanks to the cut in the curtain, clearly ses—understood each other, and their conversation was a marvel of concissness and compression. When the woman seribbled something on a serap of paper and Charters, hav- ing glanced at it, crumpled it and threw it int> the waste-paper basket, I knew that I had the key to whatever, otherwise cryptic, eipher it might con- " False Teeth e impulse—or it me, meloflnm-ufilb lay-acting if you will, behind my cuntain,) Later, when Charters was alone, his face turned by his hand, I stepped silently from my hiding-place and,, as was between him and the window. ‘To the hcur of his death he must have believed that I had that moment the lawn without.
