The window from which ' ι· light streamed was small and !i — higher than Aggio could ι h. Its panes were set in a .'I'd frame that was open so that lit fell into the leaves of a big ■ pie which grew near the barn, at a light angle from the window. He c lid see black paint on the panes make the room totally dark for ■ . light photographic development. M looked for a box, a wheelbarrow, a ; arrel—to stand on. lîoost me," Danielle said, lie wrapped his arms around her l·. ces and lifted. Her palms ran up tin· wall, like little slapping feet, ί In· caught the sill and pulled her w ight higher, lie pushed on the bottoms of her feet. She looked in, then. And the sounds of night, the whispering of leaves and the trill ing of insects, were obliterated by her scream. Danielle's scream did not last long—although it was the dort that begins hysterics. Aggie could not be sure whether it was real, or a ill-liberate achievement. But he did nt want the neighborhood roused. He could feel the girl wobbling above him, and he dropped her, catching her roughly by the waist. That arrested the scream—left it banging in the night—shrill, eerie, truncated. She opened her mouth to scream again. Aggie put his hand over it. She commenced kicking and biting, but she didn't make any More noise. He saw to that: he held her there, locked, gagging, waiting to see if a light would go on in one < f the servants' rooms or one of the houses in the surrounding woods. There was no light; the girl was be (Vinvvinr· 4-λ «ιηίαν "Listen!" he said in a whisper. "If you yell, you'll wake up the neighborhood! If there's anything we can do about things—this is our cjiance. What did you sec? Will you answer without making an up ■l'oai'?" ■ ' She tried to kick him again. Then she nodded, because his reaction had been to hold her more firmly. He 1"ok away his hand. She spoke in a shuddering monotone. "It's Dad! He's lying in there—with a knife sticking out of him and blood all over the floor!" "Yes?" He was commanding hei to go on. "We've got to do something—gel the police—!" Aggie shook his head. "Not yet Whoever killed him—doesn't know he's been found and may be relyinj on that—" Her answer was violent — al though whispered. "Nobody killec him. He killed himself! You fool 1 he door is locked—a child couldn'i crawl through the window—and it'i the only one!"' Aggie's eyes were accustomèd t< the penumbral glow of the littli window. He saw her well—tossint hack her hair, shaking. He was eUl waiting- for lights, but none came. ' One scream—heard for a moment and at a distance—will pass as the 1 sound of a door, of a tree, or of a rabbit caught by a nighthawk. It is the second and the- third and the fourth screams that rouse all hu manity. He thought of that. He thought, also, about the window and the door. It gave him a sense of frustration. "I'll look." He began searching for something to stand on. "There's a ladder inside the ga rage. To the left," she said. He lit matches until he found it. Λ stepladder, but a long one. He carried it back. It reached to the window. He leaned it against the wall. Danielle stood by in silence and Aggie climbed swiftly. Dr. Davis was lying on his back on the floor. His right hand was clenched around the hilt of what was, presumably, a knife; there was a blot of blood under and around him. No telltale expression marked his ashen face: it was like most faces in death: flaccid, meaningless. The knife had been plunged into his heart. He had undoubtedly died in a second. Two lights burned in the room—a red one on a stand on the drainboard of a sink and a bluish, "sunlight" bulb in the high ceiling overhead. There was a ventilator fan in the room, and it was hum ming. Water was running from a rubber hose in a tub; several photo graphic enlargements eddied in the current. Ranged about, on two deal tables, were porcelain pans and I brown glass bottles—the accouter ments of an ordinary darkroom. The place smclled of chemicals. Aggie came down the ladder. Danielle snatched his arm—star tling him. "I just thought! Is he Hpad? Surclu dead?" "Yes. Ho is." "He killed himself," she whis pered. "Killed himself! It isn't the thins I'd—! And yet—he was so frightfully upset—!" "He killed himself," Aggie re pented. As he said it, lie wondered if Dr. Davis ha<l killed himself. Any other idea seemed outrageous. There was the dead mail in the small room, with the tiny window and the heavy door. Key inside: Aggie had seen it from the high angle at which he had stood. And a small, ordinary holt shot, besides. There was the knife in his heart—and his right hand still closed upon it. Suicide. To think otherwise was preposter ous. Jim Calder had stumbled into a deadfall. George Davis had stab bed himself. Hank Bogarty had skidded into a lake. There was no black fox. "A surgeon," he muttered, stand ing uncertainly beside the girl, "would hardly use a knife—that way—would he?" "He'd know how," Danielle an swered. "And he either would—or he wouldn't. If Dad had decided— he'd ilo it any way that was eon 'cnîont. Convenient—and effective." "We ought to get that door open," 10 said. "Have you a cigarette?" :ii "No." "I'm going to tho house to get >ne. And to have the jitters." He shook his head. "You're not joing to have the jitter?." "Yes. I am. I'm shaky inside, »nd sweating like an icebox. I'm go ng to lock myself in my room, and V'ell." "No." lie said it absently, but ivith such force that it was extreme ly compelling. "You are going to get a cigarette, if you want. Then you're coming back. We'll go in there." "How?" "Do the servants sleep in tho ga rage?" "No. The top was an old haymow. The dai'kroom is where the chute used to be—that's why it's ko high." "Oke. I'll shut the garage doors —and use an automobile jack." She came back about ten min utes later. Around her, the woods and the dark houses were thick with sleep. She had changed into a dress and she was carrying ciga rettes in her hands. On her feet were wedgies and her legs were bare. She was as pale as paper. Aggie glanced at her. He had turn ed on the lights of one of the cars to furnish a reflected radiance for his work. He had jammed a. jack against the darkroom door aid ho was turning its crank. "I stuffed a robe from the lim ousine in the little window," he said. "This is going to make a ter rific racket." It did. The metal lock ticked un der the strain, as if it were getting hot. The wood in the door frame began to crack and splinter. Aggie kept turning. Then there was a sharp, explosive sound as the lock itself bit through its iron socket and the screws on the bolt wore out. The door burst open, swung clear around, hit the wall, and re bounded almost shut again. The jack blocked it. Aggie went into the room. He yanked the car robe from the win dow by jumping for it. lie unfolded it, and, after a long look at tho body, he spread the plaid wool cover over it. Then Danielle came in still holding the cigarettes in both hands. "Smoke one," he said. "Here. Give me one, too." He said that be cause of the glassy expression in her eyes. He took two cigarettes from the package, poked one be tween her lips, and struck a match. She began to smoke automatically. Ile puffed on his as if it were a pipe. "It's a knife," ho said. "Hunt ing knife. Heavy. Tho kind you wear in a sheath around your bt'lt. Did he have one?" She did not answer.
