Chapter 32 : BLACK SHADOW H WAS perhaps the maid, on a |* legitimate errand. It could anly |be Marianne or the priest or Lorn; all others were accounted for. But I must know who was moving about im that room. 7 A little back toward the north corridor again was the small niche | where I'd seen Lorn and Sue talk- ing that first day of his arrival. [/ q@uletly retraced my steps toward it. | ‘@ Whe place was silent and de- | serted; the red carpet looked dim and faded in the half light; the; heavy curtain near me smelled of dust. I scarcely shifted my'eyes from the spot where, if the door opened, it must swing outward. It opened only a little at first, as if to permit & reconnoitering glance along the corridor, then more fully. Some- | ithing slid out and obscured my view (0f the tloging door. U had no time to | \maKe sure I was concealed by the | jeurtain, for the swift black shadow ‘bore swiftly down upon me—and in ‘another second it had glided silently past me. 1» It was Father Robart, of course. He did not seo me, and I remem- ‘bered what Lorn had said and did not intercept him as I longed to do. ' He was walking swiftly, silently, his head bent and his red beard flaming. Afterwards I tried to think whether he'd carried anything in My not hands, but I could not be sure. slipped around the cor- the intersecting passage Jed to his own room, and I emerged. ‘ . ‘There had been something ter- ribly turtive about him. I wished Lorn been with me and realized ‘euddenly that here .was what vamounted to convincing evidence sagainst the priest. . Lorn arrived perhaps two hours ! and I told him of the con ‘Yincing evidence against the priest. (His dark eyes brightened a little, ‘but otherwise he was not much af- fected, ’ U think I'm slow and too “* cautious,” he finally said, “Well, that’s true; but I'm inclined to ‘think my mistakes would hurt you ‘more than anyone else.” | “I'm not worrying about myself, I don't want that dovil to get on Miss Tally!” *Lorn's eyebrows went up a little. * “He won't,” he sald quietly. “Im- : sgotintaty after dinner we'll have )Pally go to her room, lock the ot * “¥ea," I gaid, not liking the im- Pression he gave of indulging a childish notion of my own. “I'll ‘watch her door,” I added stub- i “That's good," said Lorn dryly. “Then I'd better inform the police. Let me see—just what shall I tell ‘them? That Father Robart arranged j® false alibi; that you saw him leary. ang Miss Tally’s room surrepti- Moustly—end that you are con- jvinced, in spite of bis papers and jelaims being under investigation by jthe police, that he is not what he jeeems, being, in fact, no priest at ‘all.” ‘Thus it was something of a shock jwhen the priest did not appear at dinner. Whea we discovered that he twas not in the lounge, not in bis own jroom, not anywhere about the hotel. With Sve safe in her room and ising to remain there we went | her to the courtyard and told | thé police stationed there. STATE COLLEGIANS |FRUIT SHIPMENT TOPLAY AT DANCE fell into brown flakes. The priest’s coat and hat were gone from his room, but nothing else. The obvious inference was that he had managed to escape—exactly how, no one knew, for the police said no one had passed that. way, and Paul, in the kitchen, with another policeman, was equally sure he'd not gone that way. Hoe had glided past me in the cor- ridor and turned the corner and vanished from the haunts of men. R I was the last one to have seen him—or at least the last who admitted seeing him—which fact did not improve my standing with the police. But with his escape, naturally, the tide of suspicion turned strongly his way, and it was not even necessary to tell the po- lice of the reasons for my own sus- picious regarding the man. 5 Altogether it was near mi ht before things settled down. and I finished talking—a talk that Was eager enough but that: went in circles of baffled surmise» and could come to no out-and-out con- clusions—and. finally. went upstairs again. We stopped at Sue's door and told her simply that*the priest had escaped, and I thought from the look on her faco that perhaps she } had not believed in the man after all and was‘relieved to know he was gone. “I'll take the revolver you prom ised to lend me now," I said to Lorn. “Very well." He looked and I think was reluctant. “But don’t'do anything rash with it. I've got it here in my pocket.” But if with the revolver making & comfortable little. sag in” my Pocket and the knowledge that the sliding black presence of the priest was no longer haunting the dim cor- ridors of the place I had t! things would be better, I was never more mistaken in my life. i With the knowledge I now have ¥ understand why that night was the worst night T spent in Armene, bar none, Then I only knew that it was cold and uneasy and terribly long. Sleeplessness was until that night almost unknown to me. That night sleep was out of the question, I smoked, I read an old magazine that turned up in the table drawer, I paced the floor. I spent a long time making notes of the ugly busi- ness and trying to draw some con- clusion from them—but rose finally, stiff-and cold and cramped, and crumpled up the laborious notes and threw them into the ashes where they smoldered and smoldered, while I stood watching them, and at last fell into brown flakes without once bursting into honest flame. Yes, it was a long and cold and strangely horrible sort of night. Morning, however, brought news. THE KEY WES?
