"There's where my aunt Is. cried the girl suddenly, but the car shot past the stone gates of the big house set far back In the trees. "Colton Is going to meet us on the outskirts of Poughkcepsle!" shouted the district attorney over his shoulder. On the car sped. Fast as It went Sydney's mind was working faster. They were speeding toward the end of the strange case. But what was the end? What was awaiting them in Poughkeepsle? Ws anything awaiting there? He turned his head a bit so that he could see the district attorney in the front seat. The official's shoulders were huncned. his fingers were playing nervously on his knees. Was Colton waiting for some one who was coming? Tlms before Sydney had known the blind man to arrange the denouement of a case at a certain scene that would bring the confession necessary to convict the guilty. Was he doing the same here? He knew that every bit of evldenco Pointed toward Silver Sandals, theglrl. and the waiter who had oeen at the res taurant. Thames, from what he had learned, was positive this was the Bracken to whom Colton had referred. Colton evidently knew that they were not guilty, but he realized that so m$ oart must be played that would con vince others that they were Innocent. The problemist never finished a case without proving it beforehand. "There they are!" It was the dis trict attorney who discovered the big black car with Michael at the wheel. The automobile was drawn up at the roadside. Behind It was a runabout with a rumble seat In which Sydney recognized one of Colton's pet enemies —Police Captain McMann. Sydney saw the blind man Jump from the car. turn to the captain, and speak. The policeman and the man who was with him jumped from the car. Thames was surprised that the blind man'and McMann seemed on the best of terms. Before the big car stopped Colton was Issuing orders in the curt, sharp way that came when every part of hiin was work ing at high pressure. "Get out, Sydney. You and Shrimp. Bring the crow." The district attorney started a question. The blind man cut it sharply: "I've been Issuing or ders under your name and that of the police department. Your men were ordered to leave Poughkeepsie. The Poughkeepsle police were notified that the murderer had been arrested and was on hlg way to New York. They had connected the old man who lived In the house and the one who was murdered In the Beaumonde. Nat urally they'd see the connection. There's no tine at the house now but two Egyptian servants. I tried to talk to one, but I couldn't make her understand. We're going in this car that luckily was In the garage at Bracken's house. Give us ten minutes and follow." "How about me?'- The district at torney got his question In this time. "You stay here with McMann." Colton said sharply. "He's put the case In my hands! Do wfcat he says! I've got to look over the ground first alone!" "I've got the feather," put In the district attorney, who had been glanc ing nervously at Bracken, who seem ed to avoid his eyes. "It was " "Don't need it yet!" cut in Colton. "Hold it! Hustle, Shrimp! Take the rumble seat." Sydney jumped from the car. In the other car he saw the old woman with the coal-black eyes. But the terrible look that had been In them was gone now. They seemed soft, kindly. The whole wrinkled face seemed to have mellowed. The thou sand lines that crossed and criss crossed it had lost their their coldness. Her eyes were on the girl: in them was the look of hunger insatiable. Beside her on the seat was the man Sydney had last seen in the restaurant; but now the black was beginning to show in the hair that had been straw-colored with bleach. His eyes, too, were all on the girl. But there was no move. Every one was completely under the domi nation of the blind man. "Hurry, Sydney!" Colton snapped out the order with the impatience that was part of him at times like this. "Who's goin' to drive?" McMann asked the question surprisedly as Thames took the other seat. "I am. I've driven cars before!" Colton threw in the clutch, backed the car to the road with never a false swerve around the other car that his ears had located unerringly when It stopped. "Ten minutes!" he shout ed back at them, ana the dust cloud his speed raised hid him from their sight. "House with high wall. Egyptian scarabed gate," jerked Colton. "Use your eyes. Describe every one you see near It. Know the turns. Bracken made be see the road." It seemed but a minute to Sydney that they took in reaching the gates. Even before he spoke the blind man had slowed down the machine. "Lotus," explained Colton. "Brack en said there was a lot of It. Gate open?" "Yes! No one around!" Sydney, too, had caught the contagion. He also was talking in exclamations. "Expect some one!" snapped Colton as he drove the car slowly through the big gate. "Watch hand of first person you see. Any one! I want a 'V' veined back. Nudge me if it Is." Up the great, winding roadway with its high-arched trees the car crawled. Sydney could see the exten sive grounds, well laid out with wind ing pats, fringed with trees, some of them curious-looking trees that had no place in America. At the left of the house was a miniature pyramid, a roughly hewn sphinx. Before them stretched a large artificial patch of yellow sand. Everywnere was the In fluence of Egypt. The house, closed, deserted, looked sinister In the dark shadows of the overhanging pines. At the porch steps two winged lions guarded the silence and gloom. A fitting climax or the case that had begun In the brilliantly lighted Beaumonde, where life and gayety had reigned before the coming of the dead man! Before the wide steps the car stop ped at a touch of Sydney's fingers on the blind man's rm. "Hand!" whispered Colton tensely. Sydney glanced around in surprise. No one was in sight. Then he saw that the front door was opening slowly, and. to his normal ears, silent ly. In the semi-darkness of the hall he saw who had opened it. 4, woman, . . oMo JilfsSliS rr: " Va ] 217-Market St. -217 \ ZT | rsa Smart New Fall Boots V '• VERY SPECIALLY PRICED i ® Every new model of the season is shown in our display and still 1 * 1® the prices are very reasonable. ] \ Women's High Lace Boots, Sold s®>.9s X '-\l Elsewhere at $5 and $6 JTjX&y • Y\ A distinctive new high-top lace model possessing dnsh and lndi \\ A vlduality.
