about Mrs. Upham. You definitely
told her last night that you would
ask Mr. Darien to move?"
"i did.”
“Did she seem satisfied?"
“Yes.” Then 1 had another flight.
1 recalled at that moment that Lucy
had admitted before ail of us this
morning that she looked out of her
door at midnight, and saw the light
go out under Mr. Darien’s door,
across the hall from her room. My
hands grew colder and colder. Why
was Lucy watching the light under
Andrew Darien’s door?
The bundle of knives slipped off
my lap and Dr. Rudemar picked '<
up for rne. I murmured my thanks,
but my mind was busy with Lucy.
"I know I’vo frightened you,” be
continued, gravely. “J couldn’t help
it. I'm frightened myself. I want
you to look after Mrs. llpharn care
fully. watch her very closely. Did
she seem any different to yon to
day?”
“Well—yes. I thought she’d go
all to pieces, her nerves and all that,
with the tragedy, but she hasn't.
She seems excited about it and—a
little pleased at the excitement, too.
1 can’t explain it. Site hasn't re
acted as I thought she would.”
"She’s pleased, of course. That’s
only natural with Darien out of the
way. If she killed him herself- ”
“She didn’t!" No matter what Dr.
Rudemar thought. I couldn’t believe
that Lucy would deliberately steal
my carving knife and kill Andrew
Darien. Even if she confessed it, I
wouldn’t believe it. I told the doctor
that as emphatically as 1 could.
“You’re an excellent friend to Mrs.
Upham.” he said. “The best she
could have. That’s why I knew l
could count on you. If she killed
him herself, she may not do any
more harm, because he was an ob
stacle in her way’.”
He puffed his cigar for a moment
and knocked the ashes into a tray.
“Having removed him,” he went
on. “she'll be all right until she en
counters another obstacle. Tn per
sons like Mrs. Upham, the murder
impulse takes a long time to de
velop. Years, sometimes. However,
we can’t be certain."
Talking about Lucy as though she
were a laboratory’ specimen! As
though she were a guinea pig her
self! T suppose all doctors of psy
chiatry are that way, though Dr.
Rudemar was the first 1 had met,
but riot the last.
“You're not going to the police
with this?" 1 asked, starting tn trem
ble.
“Not yet. Not until I’ve talked
with Mrs. Upturn's son, at any rate.
I’m leaving the city tomorrow on the

I'll wire him tonight that I’m com

lie picked up his things and went
to the door. I followed him, the
bundle of knives in my hand.
"You’ll watch her for me?” he
asked, with one hamPon the knpb.
"I —shall. But why don’t you see
her and ask for yourself whether she
killed Andrew Darien?”
"It would do no good to ask her,
Mrs. Penny, for to get the truth
from her in a hurry I should have
to use hypnosis. Already, in a hyp
notic state, she has killed a gaiinea
pig which she thought was Darien.
She’d tell me she killed him. Do
you understand?”
I didn’t, but I nodded, dumbly. I
was glad when the front door closed
after him. Wearily, with my bundle,
I proceeded upstairs withottt asking
Sergeant Burke to accompany me.
S. 1 grant Ross I met on the second
floor. Another policeman was on
the third, someone 1 didn't know.
The light on the back stairs land
ing of that floor worked, by some
whim. When I was in my room and
had looked in the closet and under
the bed and had locked my door, I
t-iit the bundle under my pillow, and
got undressed, still thinking of what
Dr. Rudemar had said about Lucy.
The bundle was there in the morn
ing, but to make sure I counted the
knives. Seven.
Miss Cambridge was the only one
who left the house the next morn
ing. She went back to her history
classes, with Lieutenant Larrabee’s
permission, and a triumphant gleam
in her eyes. Mr. Withers didn’t even
ask to go.
At 9:30 Miss Cambridge came back,
her triumph somewhat curbed, to
tell us that Mr. Gorham thought
she’d better stay away until matters
were cleared up. and the curiosity of
ber pupils abated. I could have told
her when she started out so defiant
ly that that’s what her precious Mr.
Corham would say, but I didn’t. You
can’t tell Miss Cambridge things like
that. She wouldn’t believe you.
“Mr. Gorham said my absence was
unavoidable, and would be consid
ered illness,” she told me as she
trailed into the kitchen. “He w&s
greatly disturbed by the tragedy, and
wanted to know all about It. A fine
man. Mr. Gorham. A brilliant man

murder that I must tell Lieutenant
Larrabee. You remember Mr. Ander-

This famous winter feeding grounds
for geese and ducks, totaling some
50,000 acres in extent, came into Fed
eral possession through purchase
more than a year ago, and some 12-
000 acres were set aside for public
hunting under the direction of the
Department of Conservation and De
velopment by the U. S. Biological Sur
vey.
Most of the hunters visiting the
lake, according to J. D. Chalk, State
game and inland fisheries commis
sioner, are reporting satisfactory suc
cess. A family hunting team consist
ing of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Savage of
Wilmington, the commissioner sai
bagged their limit of four geese eacl
in one morning and also brought in
11 ducks by noon. The following day
they took their limit of geese and 15
ducks and were back at their room,
by 11 oj’clock in the morning. Only
about one week remains in the open
season for migratory waterfowl,
which closes December 19.

son who used to have Mr. Talbot’s
room? Well, what was to prevent
Mr. Anderson trorn having' an extra
key made for the front door, waiting
until he moved out, then returning
Monday night to kill Mr. Darien?
Logical, isn’t it?”
“But George Anderson left for
California the day he moved out.
Miss Cambridge,” 1 explained, pa
tiently. ‘‘Why should he want to
kill Mr. Darien?”
“flow do you know he left imme
diately for California?” she de
manded.
“He told me so.” I said. “He
wasn’t here w'hen the baggage man
came, and i checked his trunk to
San Francisco on his ticket which he
left with me. The ticket was a
through one to San Francisco."
That settled George Anderson so
far as I was concerned. I didn't
think much of Mr. Gorham’s theory.
It was too far fetched. Why should
nice Mi. Anderson, who had been
with me a year when he went away,
have an extra key made to the front
door, come back at 8:30 Monday
night, steal my carving knife, hide
around the house until after mid
night, and then kill Mr. Darien?
To my mind, Mr. Gorham’s theory
was no more plausible than Dr.
Rudemar’s. I hoped Marcella Cam
bridge didn’t see me shudder when
I thought of the doctor. Cut she
did. She asked what was tlie matter,
and I told her I was cold.
“Nerves, Mrs. Penny,” she said,
decidedly. “I imagine you didn't
sleep any too well.”
I hadn’t, what with the knives
under my pillow, and thinking of
Lucy and Dr. Rudemar.
“I slept better than I have for a
long time,” she continued. “I was
asleep as soon as my head touched
the pillow.”
I managed to get away from her
after that by pleading an urgent
phone call I bad to make. 1 simply
didn’t want to talk to her any more
that morning. She was right about
my nerves. 1 had a bad case of
them, and a funny headache that
centered in rny left temple.
The inquest on Andrew Darien
was held that afternoon. Delia and
I were the only witnesses who went
from the house, except Kirk l.arra
bee. It was much easier titan l had
expected, for inquests were a nov
elty to me and I didn’t know whai
l might have to say It lasted onp
half an hour and aside from Delia j
going info half hysterics on the {
stand, it wasn’t so had. i

Darien had been murdered by a per
son or persons unknown. No evi
dence that Larrabee had collected by
this time came out., nothing about,
anyone in the house.
Delia, weeping, described how she
went to Mr. Darien's room to call
him to breakfast, and found him—
dead. 1 identified the carving knife
which was shoved right under my
nose and told of my visit to Darien’*
room. Larrabee had warned me !•
volunteer nothing, to answer only
the questions put to me. No em
barrassing questions were asked and
I answered as briefly as possible.
The courtroom was filled with re
porters and curiosity seekers, but I
didn’t pay any attention to them.
After the session was over, Larra
bee led us quickly through a side
door and into a private alley where
a big police sedan was standing.
There wasn’t a soul in sight when
he put Delia in the front seat by the
driver and got in the hack himself
with me. He closed the window that
separated the front seat from the
tonneau before he spoke.
“Easy, wasn’t it?”
“Very,” I replied. “Why did yon
make it so easy?”
“No choice. Didn't have enough
evidence against anybody to make
an arrest, so I decided to let the
murderer rest in peace tor a while.
No use showing what little stuff I
have. Won’t get me anywhere.
Later, when I make an arrest after
1 have my evidence, we’ll have
everything fresh for the trial."
I leaned back trying to get. com
fortable. but I couldn't. My mind
kept mulling over wlint Dr. Ilnde
rnar had said last night.
“I hear you had a visitor after I
left last night.” Larrabee said.
I nodded.
“Stayed more than an hour with
you. Who was he?”
“Dr. Rudemar." He’d find that
out if 1 didn’t tell him Dike as not
he knew it already. I glanced at
him. and saw that he did.
“Burke recognized him. What did
he wan*?"
I’d have to lie anyway, so | de
cided to take a big chance.
“lie wanted ro know how Mrs. tip
ham is standing the strain. Then
wo talked about ilio murder.” That
word would continue to stick in rny
throat. "I didn't realize that we'd
talked so long”
"You know him. then?”
“No. 1 don’t Last night was the
first time I've ever scon him.”
