While Graham and the doctor walked to the back of the hail to telephone, Katherine, an anxious figure, a secretive one, beckoned Bobby to the library. He went with her, wondering what she could want. It was quite dark in the library. As Bobby fumbled with the lamp and prepared to strike a match he was cware of .the girl's provo catively neat presence. He resisted a warm impulse to reach out anJ touch her hand. He desired to tell her all that was in his heart of the division that had increased between them the last few months. Yet to follow that impulse would, he realized, placea portion of his bur den on her shoulders; would also, in a sense, be disloyal to Graham, for he no longer questioned that the two had reached a definite sentimental understanding. So he sighed and struck the ma4ch. Even before the lamp was lighted Kath erine was speakig with a feverish haste: "Before the police come you've a chance, Bobby the last chance, i You must do b6fore the police arrive whatever is to be done." He replaced the shade and glanced at her, astonished by her in tensity, by the forceful gesture with which she grasped his arm. For the first time since Silas Blackburn's murder all of her vitality had come back to her. "What do you mean?" i She pointed to the door of the private staircase. "Just what Howells told you be fore he went up there to his death." Bobby understood. He reacted excitedly to her attitude of conspir ator. "He said," she went on, "that the criminal had nothing to lose. That it would be to his advantage to have him out of the way,4o des troy the evidence." "I thought of it," Bobby answer ed, "just before I went to sleep." "Don't you see?" she said. "If you had killed him you would have taken the cast and the handker chief and destroyed them? Hart ley has told me everything, and I could see his coat for myself. The cast and the handkerchief are still in Howell's pocket." "Why should I have killed him if not to destroy those?" Bobby took her up with a quick hope. "You didn't' she cride. "Nothing would ever make me believe that you killed him, but you will be charged with it unless the evidence disappears, you'll have , no de fense." Bobby drew back a little. - "You want me to go there and and take from his pocket those things?" She nodded. "Xou remember he suggested that he hadn't sent his report. That may be there,- too." Bobby shook his head. "He must have said that as a bait." "At the worst," she urged, "a report without evidence could only turn suspicion against you. It wouldn't convict you as those other things may. Ym must get them. You must destroy them." Graham slipped quietly in and closed the door. "The district attorney is coming himself with another detective," he said. "I can guess what Katherine has been talking about. She's right, I'm a lawyer, and I know the penalty of tampering with evi dence. But I don't belive you're a murderer, and I tell you as long as that evidence exists they can convict you. They can send you to the chair. They may arrest you and try you anyway on his report, but I don't believe they can con vict you on it alone. You're justi fied in protecting yourself, Bobby, in the only way you can. No one will see you go in the room. We'll arrange it so that no one can testi fy against you.' Bobby felt himself at a cross roads. During the commission of those crimes he had been uncon scious. If he had, in fact, had any thing to do with them, his person ality, his real self, had known noth ing, had done no wrong. His body had merely reacted to hideous promptings whose source lurked at the bottom of the black pit. To tamper with evidence would be a1 conscious crime. All the more, be cause of his doubt of himself, he shrank from that. Katherine "saw his hesitation. "It's a matter of your life or death." . But although Katherine decided him it wasn't with that. She came closer. She looked straight at him, and her eyes were full of -an affeec- tion that stirred him profoundly: For ray sake, Bobby " He studied the dead ashes of the fire which a little while ago had played on Howelis, vital and an tagonistic, by the door of the pri vate staircase. The man had chal lenged him to do just the thing from which he shrank. But How ells was no longer vital or antago nistic, and it occurred-to him that a little of hisvshrinking arose from the thought of approaching and robbing the still thing upstairs, all that was left of the man who had not been afraid of the mystery of the locked room. "For my sake," Katherine repeat ed. , Bobby squared his shoulders. He fought back his momentary cow ardice. The affection in Katherine's eyes was stronger than that. "All right," he said. "Howells never gave me a chance while he was alive. He'll have to now he's dead." T Katherine relaxed Graham's face was quite white, but he gave his instructions jn a cold, even tone: "We'll go to the hall now. Kath erine will go on upstairs. She mustn't see you enter the room, but she will watch the corridor while you are there to be sure you aren't disturbed. You and I will chat for a while with the others, Bobby, then you will go up. You understand? Paredes mustn't even guess what you are doing. I'll keep him and Groom downstairs. If he spied, if he knew what you were: at, he'd have a weapon in his hands I'd hate to think about. He may be all right, but we vcan't risk any more than we have to. We must go on tiptoe." He opened the door. Katherine gave Bobby's hand a quick, encour aging pressure. t "Jake the stuff to my room," Graham whispered. 'The first chance, we'll destroy it so that no trace will be left." The went to the hall. Without speaking, Katherine climbed the stairs. Graham drew a chair between Paredes and the doctor. Bobby lounged gainst the mantel, trying to find in the Panamanian's face some clue as to his real feelings. But Parede's-eyes were closed. His hand drooped across the chair arm. His slender, pointed fingers held, as if from mere habit, a lifeless cigarette. "Asleep," Graham whispered. Without opening his eyes Paredes spoke. "No, I feel curiously awake." He yawned. Doctor Groom glanced at his watch. "The powers of prosecu tion," he grumbled, "ought to be here within the next IS or 20 min utes." Bobby glanced at Graham. Then it wasn't safe to delay too long. More and more as he waited he shrank from the invasion of the room of death. The prospect of reaching out and touching the still, cold thing on the bed revolted him. Was there anything in that room capable of forbidding his intention? Was there, in short, a surer, more malicious force for evil than his un conscious self, at work in the house? He was about to make some formal comment to the others, to embark on his distasteful adventure, when Paredes, as if he had read Bobby's mind opened his eyes, languidly left his chatr, and walked to the foot of the stairs. "Where you going?" Graham ask ed sharply. Paredes waved his hand indiffer ently and walked on up. There was something of stealth in his fail ure to reply, in his cat-like tread on the stairs. Graham and Bobby stared after him, unable to meet this new situation audibly because of Groom. Yet five minutes had gone. There was no time to be lost. Par edes mustn't rob Bobby of his chance. With a sort of desperation he started for the stairs. Graham held out his hand as if to restrain him, then nodded. Bobby had his foot on the first step when Katfter ine's cry reached them, shaping the moment to their use. For there was no fright in her cry. It was. rather, anger. And Bobby and Gra ham ran up whiie Doctor Groom remained in his chair, an expression of blank amazement on his face. A candle burned on the table in the upper hall. Katherine and Par edes stood near the entrance of the old corridor. , Paredes, as usual was quite unruffled. Katherine's attitude was defensive. She seemed to hold the corridor against him. The anger of her cry was active in her eyes. Paredes laughed lightly. "Sorry to have given the house hold one more shock. Fortunately no harm done." "What is it. Katherine? Graham demanded. - "I don't know," she answered. "He startled me. He entered the corri dor." Paredes nodded. "Quite right. She was there. I was on my way to my room. If your house had electricity, Bobby, this incident would have been avoid ed. I saw something dark in the corridor." "You may not know," Graham said, "that ever since we found Howells, one of us has tried, mo.; or less, to keep the entrance to that room under observation." "Yet you were all downstairs a little while ago," Paredes yawned. "It's too bad. I might have taken my turn then. At any rate, since I was excluded from your confidence. I overcame my' natural fear, and, for Bobby's sake, slipped in, and, I am afraid, startled Miss Katherine." "Yes," she said. His explanation -was reasonable. There was nothing more to be said, but Bobby's doubt of his friend, sown by Graham and stimulated by the incidents of the last hour, was materially strengthened. He felt a sharp fear of Paredes. Such reserve such concealment of emotion, was scarcely human. "If," Graham was saying, "you really want to help Bobby, there is something' you can do. Will you come downstairs with me for a moi.ient? I'd like to suggest one or two things before the police arrive." Without hesitation Paredes fol lowed Graham down the stairs. Katherine turned immediately to Bobby, her eyes eager, full of the tense determination that had dictat ed her plan in the library. "Now, Bobby!" she whispered. "And there's no time to waste. They may be here any minute. I won't see yougo, but I'll be back at once to guard you against Paredes if he slips up again." She walked across the hall and disappeared in the newer corridor Without witness he faced the oh" corridor, and with the attempt di rectly aheadhis repugnance achiev ed a new power. The blank en trance with its scarcely dared mem ories reminded him that what he was about to do was an outrage against the dead man. He had to remind' himself of the steely pur pose with which Howells had mark ed him as the murderer; and the man's power persisted after death. In such a contest he was justified. He took the candle from the table. Through the stair-weil the murmur of Graham's voice, occa sionally interrupted by Groom's heavy tones or the languid accents of Paredes, drifted encouragingly. Trying to crush his premonitions, Bobby entered the corridor. In stead of illuminating the narrow passage the candle seemed, half smothered by its blacknessj For the first time in his memory Bobby faced the entrance of the sinister room alone. He pushed open the broken door. He paused on the threshold. It impressed him as Hot unnatural that he should experience such misgivings. They sprang not alone from the fact that within twenty-four hours two men had died unaccountably within these faded walls. Nor did the evidence pointing to his own unconscious guilt wholly account for them. At the bottom of everything was the fact that from the earliest childhood he had looked upon the room as cosecrated to death; had consequent ly feared it; had, he recalled, al ways hurried past-the disused cor ridor leading in its direction. Through its wide spaces the light of the candle scarcely penetrated No more than an indefinite radiance thrust back the obscurity and out lined the bed. He could barely see the stark, black form outstretched there. The dim, vast room, as he advanc ed, imposed upon him a sense of isolation. Katherine in the upper hall, the others downstairs, whose voices no longer reached him. seemed all at once far away. He stood in a place lonelier and more remote than the piece of woods where he had momentarily opened his eyes last night; and, instead of the straining trees and the figure in the black mask which he had called his conscience, he had for motion and companionship only the swaying of the curtains in the breeze from the open window and the dark, pros trate thing whose face as he went closer was like a white mask a mask with a fixed and malevolent sneer. The wind caught the flame of the candle, making it flicker. Tenuous shadows commenced ,to dance across the walls. He paused with a tightening throat, for the form on the bed seemed moving, too, with sly and scarcely perceptible gestures. Then he understood. It was the effect of the shaking candle, and he forced himself to go on, but a sense of a multiple companionship accompanied him a sense of a shapeless, soundless companionship that projected an idea of a steady regard. There swept through his mind a procession of figures in quaint dress and with faces not unlike his awn, remembered from portraits and family legends, men and women to whom this room had been fa miliar, within whose limits they had suffered, cried out a too-powerful agony, and died. It seemed to him that he waited for voices to guide him, to urge him back, because he was an intruder in a company whose habit was strange and terrifying. He forced his glance from the shadows which seemed more active along the walls. He raised his candle and stared at th dead man. The cast was undoubtedly there. The coat, stretched tightly across the breast, outlined it. He stood at "Out of Bed Three Times!"

He had only to bend and place his hand in the pocket which the cast filled awk wardly. The wind alone, he saw, wasn't responsible for the shaking of the candle. His hand shook as tlie shadows shook. The sense of loneliness fcrew upon him nutil he un derstood that loneliness can possess a ponderable quality. It was, he felt potent and active in the room a thing he couldn't understand, or challenge, or overcome. His hand tightened. He thought of Katherine guarding the corridor; of Taredes and Doctor Groom, held downstairs by Graham; of the coun ty authorities hurrying to seize the evidence that would convict him; and he realized that his duty and his excuse was clear. He understood that just now he had been captured by a force undefinable in terms of the world he knew. For a moment he eluded the stealthy llesh'ess hands of its impalpable skirmishers. He reached impulsively out to the dead man. He was about to place his fingers in the pocket, which, after all was said and done, held his life. In the light of the candle the face seemed alive and more menac ing than it had ever done in life. About the straight smile was a wid er, more triumphant quality. The candle flickered sharply. It expired. The conquering blackness took his breath. He told himself it was the draft from the window which was strong, but the companionship of the night was closer and more numerous. The darkness wreathed itself into mock ing and tortuous bodies whose faces were hidden. In an agony of revolt against these incorporeal, these fanciful horrors, he reached in the pocket. He sprang back with a choked, in audible cry, for the dead thing be neath his hand was stirring The dead, cold thing with a languid and impossible rebuke, moved beneath his touch. And the pocket he had felt was empty. The coat, a mom ent ago bulging and awkward, was flat. There sprang to his mind the mad thought of the detective, malev olent in life, had long after death snatched from his hand the evidence carefully gathered, on which every thing for him depended.
