SYNOPSIS: Dirk Joris has found Hope, wife of his older brother Ru- pert, in a Chelsea boarding house, She has run away; Dirk, who loves her, asks that sha return to the Joris estate on the Hudson river be- cause Rupert, recovering from a terrible illness, ts asking for her. In spite of suspicious and mysterious things in Hope's background, Dirk knows he never will be happy out of her sight. And she has promised that, although she will not stay at the Joris place long, she will tell him before she leaves. Chapter 37 SUDDEN TRAGEDY OPE and Dirk went together to the gray stone house in Twenty- second street. At its door she hesi- tated, then asked, “Could you let me have some money?” He took $30 from his bill-fold, of- fered to write a check if she needed more. “No,” she said, and thanked him. “This will do.” She took the money and went in- side, asking him to wait on the step. After about twenty minutes she came out. “I'm ready,” She was taking nothing back with her but the guitar. she said. NOW. Snow falling steadily, without hurry. Dirk stood at his bedroom-window in hfs dressing-gown, and watched the snow. He had tried to read, but made no headway. Rupert had been home a week. He was recovering. certainly, though he still looked shaken and pale. He had gone this morning, thoroughly bundled in rugs, for a ride with Hope, Martin driving them. The nurses had been discharged. What Rupert’s sudden turning to his wife might signify, Dirk could only conjecture. Whether it was, as he had suggested to Hope, the mere vagary of a sick man, or whether the new mood involved a definite change of heart, Dirk saw toc little of either Hope or Rupert to determine. Hus- band and wife had their meals to- gether upstairs, and on those occa- sions when Dirk had visited Rupert in his room, Hope had withdrawn. Dirk knew of course that Hope was only marking time, only waiting till infinitely, | Rann came at once. Rupert, he said, had died instantly. Dirk telephoned to Connolly, Ru- pert’s friend, and chief-of-police. Con- nolly, he knew, would bring the coroner. They must come, of course, but they would learn nothing from Hope tonight. Rann, who was with her now, had said at once that she must not be questioned. { UPERT lay just within the room, | close to the old kas. A small dark stain was spreading on his back, dye ing the familiar brown dressing: ! gown. The bullet had gone through. The pistol lying there had sent its bullet clear through. Something like a wound went through Dirk’s own breast. My God, } EARINGEN— Rupert lay at Hope's feet. Rupert was well again, when she would leave. But he would know this time when she went. She had prom- ised to tell him and she would keep her word. He, too, would keep his word. He would not stop her, or try to stop her. He would merely go with her. Nothing could prevent him. He started, thinking he heard a ery. A woman's cry. And now, almost instantly, a shot—a stanimering shot, like backfire from an engine. Yet it had been too close for backfire, and from the wrong direction, He was in the hall. He listened. There was no sound anywhere. .. . It should not be so still behind Hope’s door. He tried that door. It was locked. He tried Rupert's door. It opened. The light was on, but the room was empty Hope's light burned, too. The door stood open. Dirk was in Hope's room before he knew. Hope stood in her nightgown, lean- ing against the column of the bed. Her eyes were dazed as if she were walking in her sleep. Rupert lay face down at her feet. The pearl-handled revolver was on the floor between them. Dirk rose from kneeling beside his brother, and confronted Hope. Close to him now, her dazed eyes stared back, seeming not to see him. Sud- denly she crumpled, was in his arms. He lifted her, carried her toward the door. Timothy, ried befoy directions “The south bedroom,” Dirk said. Distinctly he remembered that the south bedroom had been made ready for the Rev. Devine. Somehow too, was in the room, turning the bed. Dirk laid Hope within it. Her eyes were half-shut, her lips parted. She seemed not to breathe. Timothy had gone out. Dirk met him coming from the tower-room. ,Timothy’s voice was almost inaud- ible. { “Shall I call... “Call Dr. Rann across the street,” Dirk said. “That's the quickest.” pale, half-dressed, hur- him, turning back for and we were playing backgammon not an hour ago. ... He took a handkerchief from the | pocket of his dressing-gown, dropped it over the pistol. Then he picked the pistol up and broke it open. One shot was gone. The pistol had been fully reloaded, and one shot only had been fired. Strange. Strange, that. He wiped | the weapon carefully, and laid it down again. But he did not lay it where it had been—close to the spot where Hope had stood. He laid it beside Rupert’s hand. The pearl handle close to Rupert's ; hand. “Forgive me, old man.” It wouldn't matter now. Nothing | mattered now te that prone body in | its monk-like robe. The very gesture | , of the out-flung arms showed that nothing mattered now. “l was afrai BT} Connolly said when he a ‘- & He and Bassett, the coroner, had at last comé out of, the tower-room.

It was not even folded—just lying open on his desk.” They were standing near Dirk's door. Dirk went into his room to read his brother's note. (Copyright, 1935 Margaret Bel!
