SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1933. The White Cockatoo OROCCROCRCEE by Mignon G. Eberhart’ POCCCOSLCLEDCOCODe Chapter 48 THE COCKATOO AGAIN “ , I didn’t dream the priest was Francig. The beard and all that would have changed him. He ‘haa been educated in a church ‘echool—and well educated. He knew how to manage the—disguise, How and what to do.” After a helpless moment I said: “But what of your own half? You'll be obliged to prove yourself to his igwyer—there'll be arrangements. I think I'd better. cable the lawyer immediately.” She nodded. “Then this man calling himself Prancis Tally must be actually in conspiracy with the Lovschiems. Also thie charming substitute they’ve kept in waiting.” pehbeheci said Sue, roused. “They have the substitute already?” I explained. “And the point is,” I finished, “we've got to burry.” Any plan now was dangerous for Sue. Ten millions instead of five. i said: “I'm going to call one of the po Mcemen to stay here with you. Then I'm going to find Lorn—” “Lorn should have known the Priest was Fran' she cried. “He didn’t. He wasn’t sure about | *| strangled voice. you out of my sight, but I've got to A$nd Lorn.” T went to the door which 1é4 to ae i H ited HE 7 HH Ee i H : ; H iil H & i % E i ? : } r E ie ih = i il : i g i i i : T : ; it thy retreat. “Come back here. Stand oyer there.” She gave ms a@ still look but, obeyed. She said calmly: “You'd as well not make a move, | Lovschiem. I think our friend is father likely to shoot us,” It was very still in the smal} lobby while our eyes. met and locked. Very still except for the small rustle of the cockateo scram- bling from his perch to the desk. From the corner of my eyes I could see him sidle toward his mistress. She did not move or shift her eyes from mine as the bird canght her green.sleeve and pulled him- self clumsiJy in a curious kind of hand-over-hand movement to her shoulder. Pucci chuckled hoarsely and laid his wide bill alongside his mis- tress’s warm red hair. But there was. something wrong—something’ that didn’t add—some quantity that was not right. Pucci was pushing bis bill into the red hair. He was pushing and pushing—no! He was pulling. He was pulling at something that was thin and white and folded and that finally came entirely from the mass of red hair. It was a thin folded paper, Madame Grethe heard suddenly some smal} rustle, and she moved jer head and cried, “Pucci!” in a “Put down your hands,” Lov- schiem. Give me that paper, ma- dame.” She did so. She did not hesitate, as [had known she would not. She took it gently .and carefully trom Pucel and put it io my hand. The paper was what I thought it was. COMMOTION of footsteps and voices arose outside, and the Moor was flung open and Lorn was there. Even in that hurried instant I was conscious of the singular look he gave ue: it held surprise jand a kind of disappointment and at the same time decision. Lorn pointed at me and said something very sharp, and the po- Vice fell upon me, and gripped my arms. “So,” I said above things to Lorn. “So that is the reason. You must supply them with a murderer.” “There's no use talking like that, “Sundean,” said Lorn. “You can't defend yoursslf.
