ncn ONDA XM ¥, OCTOBER 10, 1988 By MAX SALTMARSH E The Characters Archie Lumsden, myself, vis- itor to the French Riviera. Ottilie Wills, beautiful Ameri- can heiress. René Geiss, man behind a mur- der plot. Yesterday: We intercept a message of the conspirators, but it contains only the mysterious word, “Amourié.” Chapter 36 Breaking And Entering “(/)TTILIE was supposed to meet us here at six-thirty,” 1 told Dunning. “Do you realize it’s al- most seven thirty and_that. girl hasn't shown up yet?” He groaned. “Let’s cal} the hotel and see if they’ve any word of her there,” But when we got through to the Carlton, the recéption clerk: was politely deSnite. Miss Wills. he said, bad nat returned, Her uncle also had just gone out, but before he left he had been inquiring if anyane had seen his niece. Dunning’s face was grave as I told him the news. “1 don’t like it,” ‘said he, “not one little bit. If I knew’ the name of her friends at Monte Carlo, we could check up on when she left them. but we don’t, so that’s that. I’ve got a car here, and I'll driv along the coast foaa andes if en see any- thing ef her, On the way Fl! drop you at the Carlton and you can wait there till the old man gets a" and &:t bim to call up lonaco. I could think of no better plan, and so we set out. “And what about tomorrow?” I asked. “The old man doesn’t rise till eight, and they're not likely to tr: to do him in in his bed. You an Hugo be at the hotel by seven thirty, and at least we'll be wise to whatever's doing. I'll meet you in the lounge.” The reception clerk at the.Carl- ton told me that Virgoe Wills was still out, and I made my way back to the terrace to watch for the old man’s return. Then | saw the uni- d figure of Cassandra Chubb threading her way toward me, with small] regar’ for the people _ elbows she joggled in pass- “Mr. Lumsden,” she began with- ee, “where's Ottilie?” "8 tly what I want to know,” I her. “I'm waiting for Mr. ‘ills, to get the name people at Monte Carlo she to see. made a gesture of impa- “lve already cailea the the headland, and as | did so, I cannoned into a man. “Good evening, Monsieur Lums- | den,” @ voice said quietly, and I | recognized Fleuriot. t _“If you can call it a good eve- | ning,” I retorted. “I find it a singu- larly unpleasant one myself.” And T added, a trifle maliciously: lave you got on the track of our friend the chasseur yet?” _ He. looked admitted, 2 might have some sugpestion to make as to his whereabouts.” “What a hope!” 4 retorted’ bit- terly. “If the police can't tind him, how can I?” And then..on a sud- den impulse, I put a question, in my turn. “I suppose,” I said casu- ally, “you don’t happen td know what the word ‘Amourié’ means?” He pursued his lips, frowning | thoughtfully. .“‘Amourié,’ Tha sounds like old Frene:. to. me. It not a name. and | do not think has to do with ‘amour.’ It is more | likely an ancient -orm of ‘armu- rier,’ an armourer, and it may well | be the name of some stree} where | such a trade was once plied. That | would mean it is‘in an old town, | not here, for a hundred years ago | Cannes was but a fishing village. | Monaco, perhaps, or Antibes.” | “Man,” I said admiringly, almos' wishing that, in spite of Dunning’s | advice, | had taken him into our confidence, “you've got a head on your shoulders. If there is such a street, do you think you can find “Naturally!” he retorted. and then added, looking at me keenly: | “But if I of Fs 9 is my re- | at me oddly, falling ide mc.“Not yet,” he | ward?

Strange Wilderness | PAUSED, hesitating outside the villa gate. 1 had already ruled out the railings as unscalable but there still remained the alley at the side of the house. I turned quickly up the narrow passage. _It was not so dark here, for the night sky was clear overhead, and a faint glow showed where the | moon would shortly rise. I crept down the lane, scanning the wall for some possible foothold. and | ghar yo I found it—a hole, about a yard from the ground, where a great sliver of flint had been re- cently aisioagea. i I set my foot in it, gripped the top of the wall, and painfully hoisted myself to the top, and now T saw that the moon had already tisen, for a great, lop sided. amber ,;SOup-plate hung low over the ae i : it if Fi i g : won't have to your chin ie’s the sort of land on her I made my get if i BEE fi my un- few' days with 20,” he told nostalgia here.

Now me, find it singularly syeeratiog, even makes me SWhy blame it on the wind?” retorted , and with a mut- house-top. I swung both legs over the wall and dropped on all fours on a patch of rough gravel. Tt was a Fane wilderness of a place that | landed in, a place of pearly half-lights and menacing shadows, of dim tree-trunks that loomed suddenly up at one. or broken statues leering down at one from the shade of some over- grown palm. For the first time i had a clear view of thé facade of the house, a ‘ two-storied structure, with a log- ore the porch, supported on ei side by monstrous cupids. I liked the look of that loggia, and liked still more the look of the | sturdy, century-old wistaria that covered the wall below it. for the ru stem, as thick around as a man's calf, as if it would stand a ton ht. I mye it an experimental tug, | found it as immovable as a rock. | and set my foot on the lowest fork. | In another minute | had hooked ope leg over the railing of the log- la and was peering across it | rough the open windows of a a d chairs the lognia and a. so’ thick matting underfoot, and my rope - soled espadrilles made no | sound as | tiptoed furward. oo my foot touched the sill, I 8 htened gasp.
