FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1940 The Creepi by Frances Shelley Wees an Chapter 46 Pursuit MICBAEL and Bunny came back to the house only a few minutes after Tuck had left it. Michael was whistling as he ran up the steps to the sun porch, and talking to Bunny over his shoul- der, “Well, it clears the air a little,” he was saying, agreeing with something she had already said. Then, “Tuck!” he called, “T guess she’s gone to bed,” he said as Bunny came in and stood beside him. They went into the house. Michael went through to the kitchen to find Charlotte Jean. Tt was dark out there. “I wonder where Charlotte Jean is?” he said. “It’s only half past eight.” Bunny looked at him with the beginning of a troubled frown. “It's her evening off, Michael, and 1 didn’t think about it. Tuck shouldn’t have been left alone, feeling so ill.” Michael was half way up the stair by the time she had finished. The bedroom door was closed. He put his hand on the knob and opened it very softly, so as not to disturb Tuck. Her bed had not been disturbed. He came down again in two steps. “She’s not there,” he said quietly. “She’s nowhere downstairs either. Tuck!” Bunny called, “Tuck!” Then she went to the door and called, “Kitty, kitty!” “Agamemnon’s not around either,” she said after a moment. “She’s not in the house, Michael. He never goes away unless she does.” Michael went out and stood in the garden. He looked over at the Deanes’. There was a light in an upper room. “She may have gone over to see Gordon,” he said, and started swiftly for the gate. He did not knock, but opened the door and went in and ran up the stairs. Mrs. Deane was there alone. “Has Tuck been here?” Michael asked softly. She got up and came to the door. “Yes,” she whispered. “Gordon wanted to tell you something and she came instead. But the poor boy couldn’t talk intelligibly, I’m afraid. I don’t think she under- stood what...” “Where is she now?” “Why, I’m awfully sorry, Mr. Forrester, I haven’t the slightest idea.. She went out of here and home. I suppose. She didn’t...” “What did he tell her?” “Why, that’s just what I was telling you. I don’t think he told her much of anything although it seemed to be troubling him ter- ribly. He said something about a Creeping Man, I remember, as if he were having a nightmare. He said the Creeping Man came up out of the ground and hit him.” “Where did he come up out of the ground?” “On the cliffs, Mr. Forrester. os Michael was gone. Bunny was waiting on the porch. “Isn't she there?” “No,” he muttered; ‘the cliffs.” He ran across.tc the path. Bunny followed him. Fear lent her wings. The sun was gone. The open space on the cliff was dark. “Tuck!” Michael called. “Tuck! Where are vou?” There was no answer. He called again. Bunny stood beside him. listening. “Hush,” she whispered after a moment. “Do you hear that? Doesn’t it sound like .. . Kitty- kitty!” she called. The sound resolved itself into a loud mew. They ran toward it. The cat mewed again. Michael reached into his@ocket and drew out a flash- light. He turned it on ahead of mT, ‘hi ing an: sat Agamemnon. He turned his head toward them and blinked in the light. He gave another loud, pitiful mew. ‘It Opens’ 'S the stump, Michael,” Bunny said, excitedly. “Look at it... she’s touched that stump lately. He can tell, Michael. He loves her $0.” He turned the light on it and both examined it carefully. not take long to discover the on top of a stump, mew- ly and _ sniffing at it, It mark of the saw; but it took longer to discover its significance. “I believe it opens,” Bunny said iy. “Michael, I’m positive the night ‘we saw him he came up just about here.” “Through the stump?” “He might. There might be a fissure in the rock down below.” Michael drew a long breath. “A in the rock,” he repeated. “That would be it .. . look here, Bunny, is this a knot I've got my fingers on, or isn’t it?” She held the light closer. “It looks like it.” He twisted with his fingers. “Well, it isn’t. It’s a pin that lifts out.” He took his knife from his poet. opened it with shaking gers, and worked at the knot. Then he leaned on the stump and it gave way. lichael was down the narrow steps without a moment's hesita- tion. Bunny followed him. He took the flashlight from her once he was safely on the flight, and held it out before him. Far below he saw a ledge of rock and another flight of winding stairs; and below that @ nerrow cave, with water at the bottom. He went on down to the ledge of rock and walked along it Standing in‘ solld well of rock. i a solid well of rock, it red. Rock. He looked about Gim. There above him, at the right, stood Bunny. She was just beneath the stumps now. She was about SUBSCRIBE FOR THE CITIZEN—20c WEEKLY. twenty-five feet from him; there- fore he must be near the edge of the cliff. He lookec at the wall of rock directly in front of the little cave, shutting it off from the river. He did not understand. This was splendid as a hiding place, but it could be reached only from the stump. He had thought this would be the explanation‘of the boat... there was no boat there. No boat, and no Tuck... . With a sudden inspiration he reached forward on the ledge, as far as he could go and touched that wall of rock with the end of the knife still in his hand. After a moment it moved a little, rippling the water below. Michael pushed at it, again, gave a short hard laugh and came back along the ledge. “Painted canvas. Go up_quick, Bunny. I’ve got to get her. I’ve got to follow her.” They left the stump, and Michael darted off toward the house again, At the gate Michael turned toward toeiven again. “What are you going to do, Michael?” £ “Row across. It’s the only thing to do. The only thing we know is that he’ll be down-stream from the spot I land at ... unless he hides his boat, and walks. He a... surely I can find something there.” And he was off. toward the ravine where he and Gordon had hidden the new boat. Across The River 'HE river was not more than a _ mile wide at the point where Michael crossed it, but it seemed like a million. The current was. swift, and very strong, and it took all his strength to keep the boat from being swept down-stream more rapidly than he could make headway. All of his strength, he told himself grimly, and all that lent him by the awful thought of Tuck in the hands of this mad- man, this cunning fiend who held life as of no value. As he bent strongly to the oars he was obsessed by the fear that he was doing the wrong thing, go- ing the wrong way to rescue Tuck. What proof had he that she had been taken across the river? None. Only the fact that Gordon had said again and again that the myste- rious boat came from across the river. He gritted his teeth. If only he had been able to discover that one little clue. That one end of the ball of thread whose loops wound round him constantly and led back only into the tangle. The let- ter written by Murchison himself when he must be dead; Smith’s awful fear of him; his appearance only day before yesterday... Mur- chison himself, Smith would swear it. The proprietor of the hardware store had seen him, a tall man in a dust-coat and a fawn hat who had bought an oar-lock. Smith might have been mistaken in the identity of his man, how- ever sure he seemed to be, but that oar-lock was convineing. When he was nearing the other shore Michael knew suddenl: what he must find; somewhere. laboratory. That was it. That was the clue. A madman, gone off to perform an experiment. What ex- periment? A laboratory, not for off, not at a great distance, but right here, right under their noses all the time. A place which could have been used as a base, from which the boat had come, The water was getting shallow- er at last. The boat grounded sud- denly, and with a groan of thank- fulness Michael jumped out into the water and pulled the’ boat in to shore. He peered anxiously along the shore for that other boat; hoping against hope that it would be near. But as far as he could see in the darkness it was not in sight. He dragged his own boat down-stream a little, into the shadow of some bushes grow- ing near the water’s edge, and, flashlight in hand for tay it he needed it, he started off down the river. He had reasoned to himself on the long trip across that if, in- deed, the boat had been brought across to this shore, its-destina- tion was in all probability down- stream, since the current was too swift to row up-stream. He walked swiftly along the smooth sand of the bank close to the water’s edge, searching for that other boat; but he did not find it; and finally, after he had walked many yards down the shore, he decided that_he must risk a light. He turned back up- stream and flashed the beam upon the sand ahead of him, walking slowly, peering closely, hoping for footprints to guide him. : He was beginning to despair. Time wasted ... and Fuck? Where was she? He pressed his lips to- gether tightly and wiped the per- spiration from the palms of his hands. He must not think of that. He came back to his own boat and passed it, almost hopelessly | now. The smooth sand had given place to rocks upon which foot- marks would not leave a trace. He turned his light out over the water, but no boat was visible. He went a few steps farther and turned it dgwn upon the rocks at his feet. Something small and.rosy caught the light and gave it back to him. He looked at it unseeingly “st a moment, and then caught 1S picked it up. It was a bead, rosy-red, made of carven coral. Tuck’s necklacel He -was breathing hard as he dropped it into his pocket and looked again on the rocks. Three more beads he found, close to each other there. Tuck had been wear- ing her corals ... that might mean . +. what? That the string had broken while she was being car- ried? Or—he laughed a little to himself. Trust Tuck .. . if she were conscious. She would find a way to tell him where she was. Continued tomorrow THE KEY ‘Basketball Teams To. Arrange | 2nd-Half Schedule Tonight By ULRIC GWYNN, JR., Hear ye! Hear ye!
