Lovschiem, satisfied that 1 had acs cepted his word, wag leaning over the man again. * “Ho — look here. Someone's robbed nim. Pockets emptied, noth- ing anywhere.” His hands no longer shrank; they were instead ghoulish: ly eager in their search. It was as it Lovschiem expected to find some- thing that had been overlooked. If 80, he failed, for presently he looked at-me again, This time his eyes ‘were angry and little and vicious. He-said: “Who are you?”, Later 1 was to ponder over that crazy inquiry: Then it enraged me; I was angry, shaken, 'tired, cold, and I was still in the grip of @ night- marish experience. “You know very well who I am. If you are innocent of this affair, call the police at once. If you don’t, 1 will. Keep your hands off that man!” I had spoken too late. He had dragged out the knife and was holding it up into the stream of |) light so we both could see it, It was dark, and a slow drop was forming on it. But it wasn’t a knife at all. It was a small dagger like a toy sword. It was a toy sword, and I had seen one like it only a little be * fore. Lovschiem recognized it, too, He got heavily to his feet. 1 preceded » him, however, into my room, and we both stood at the fireplace star - tng at the bronze clock. The little / bronze soldier's gauntleted hand ~ was empty, and the sword ‘was in fat hand. Or at least, sprouting hope of that at once, He * sald with just a gleam of ugly tri- umph: ‘ERY'S only one like it in the house, No, Mr. Sundean, you killed utm yourself; You were very stupid about it. More stupid than I should have believed of you, for * you've the face of an intelligent man, But you, killed him.” ‘Thefe are things that leave you so stunned that! for just a moment you feel numb—as if suspended fn jold, The thing that was so unreal everything else unreal ‘was ecusation, “And you want me to call the po- Mee,” he added, with what ap proached a smile, It was still difficult to.apeak, But all at once things were real enough. A sudden memory had come to me with all the reviving influence of a etream of icy water. Sue Tally had stood there, almost where Lov sohiem was now standing, holding ‘that sword and running her pink Singers along Its sharp edge and say: fag that it was like a dagger.

Sue Tally’s fingers. But the trouble was I didn’t know what to do. So 1 stood there looking; at Lovechiem and sald nothing, A small satisfaction was that my look irritated Lovschiem and appar ently made him uneasy. He said: “You Americans, you aré all alike.
