It was late the next day before we had the whole story. The ri was still blowing, and the lounge where Sue and Mrs. Byng jand-I sat was cold. Mrs, Byng was . furiously, and Pucci perch- 'ed.on the table beside us and took liveliest interest in the conver- ' +. "Bo,” said Mrs, Byng, “the Lov- ¢ iit HHI Hit ous. 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 his substitute 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 prjest—your brother, 1 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 bim that he bad 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 witb his needle.” “Elise says she was not near the north wing the night Stravsky-was murdered until after his death, when Lovschiem hid ber in-the Sre place cupboard, So the black figure you saw must have been the priest.

We can’t know, however. He must have barely missed Lorn’s own visit 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 wae no possible chante 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.” Shaaee! was a short silence. J looked at Sue—Sue with. her millions—Sue looked at Pucci, Mrs. Byng stared into space and her lips moved absently, and Pucel scrateh- ed. Mrs. Byng’s cogitations became audible: “...and Stravsky arrived after Jim and, naturally, registered, since he was to be about the place for @ while, and used momentarily the room Marcel thonght 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 ‘estly, “what - bappenéd “tothe * car etd had used when abducting “It was Lovschiem’s car,” I replied wearily. “All Lovschiem had to do was put it back in the garage.” Mrs. Byng gave me a sharp look, gathered up her knitting and Pucci, and vanished, Vanished is a singu- lar word to use in connection with one of Mrs. Byng’s substantiality, but that fs what she did.
