"Early an Saturday. I imagine. We drive-oh, maybe u for u Truckee that night. Anyway, we get started. The Duchess proposes to leave things pretty much as they are, here, and leave a couple of the boys 1n charge until she sees how she likes the eastern climate after so many years. We're taking two cars. and‘ we hope to pick up a good driver in Sacramento. Page, I've forgotten whether you can drive or not?"

.“I can't. I wish I could!"

"Ma Choy drives. The idea. is that we fix the Duchess up win- foi-tably in the backseat of the

. big car, you and Flora. take turns = on the Jump seats, and the other i girl sits with me. The luggage I goes in the other car and is all in our rooms when we get to our hotels at night."

"On Rand, fun!" Page exclaimed her eyes dancing and all her fears foi-gott-n. Murder and mysteries and communlng with the dead- what nonsense!

Prensently, when Lynn was gone, Page asked, "What do we do with Lynn?”

Didn't he want to stay here and putter about by himself? The Doctor said. "That's what‘. the promised him isn't it?"

“For the return of the diamond, yes," Page said simply. I-Ier eyes met Rand's, and she saw from his flush that he had spoken with- out preconsideratfon.

“Flora knows that you have the Kecl Anna; the Duchess fold us both," he said at once. “She's tremendously excited, of course- the Duchess, I mean. We've been talking of nothing else. 'I'hat's why the plan to get away has been made so suddenly."

“I think this place has sad associations for her," Flora. now put in llfelessly. "My mother-and Mrs. Roy—"

“But the point of the whole thing is that she doesn't want to wait until Saturday for that diamond," Rand said. ,

Page glanced at him quickly. She felt her throat get a. little dry, and her spine a little cold, and she knew that she was trembling. “That was Lynn's condition," she pleaded. “After all, he isn't quite responsible, is he? If he feels it so strongly-J‘

"He mtghttvt to be humoi-ed," Flora said quickly, nervously.

"It isn't humoring him. He has some confused idea that Mrs. Prendergast herself gave him the diamond."

"Nonsense!" Rand aid good- naturedly. “The only real quest- ion." he added, "is whether you yourself wouldn't rather be rid of the responsibility. What pmlble purpose is served by your hiding ft until Saturday?"

If Flora had not been there Page would have told him the truth: that POOr benighted Lynn actually feared for his life 1f this one claim °Y1 M"- Prendersasrs protection were removed.

"Oh, but Rand, why mould 1? It was a simple enough trim; 1°;- blm to ask!"

"I know. But it naturally annoys the Duchess."

"Why, but it’: only n. mem- o: three dlyul"

"After n11. Page." iwia ma wily. "if you handed it ovq- to the Duchess today, what. could Lynn do?"

H" quick look reproeched him. "I'm not think of Lynn; I'm think- lng of myself!"

"She's nervous-she's all wrought up about it." Rand apologized. "Her sister's death-everything has tether complied w upset tier. She said-I rather think I can talk her out of it-but she was talking of calling the police."

own coolness and amusement. "You couldn't get the police to get the whole thing through their heads before Saturday," she said. "Saturday's only three days offl It seems to me that she ought to be thanking me, instead of threat- ening me with the police."

“Page, don't. think she isn't appreciative!" Rand said quickly.

Flora sniffed. "You talk very differently now from what you did in her room," she observed, but Rand was his nonchalant self again and not to be baited by Flora.

"I always say whatever I think she wants to hear," he admitted serenely. “You have to do that with the Duchess!"

"She thinks it is time to stop all this nonsense about that miser- able diamond," lFlora said decid- edly. “She thinks Lynn is perfectly sane, sane enough to know when he's acting honestly and when he isn't, anyway!"

“You wouldn't break your word if you'd once given it, would you Flora?" asked Page. "I've prom- ls/rd Lynn, you see."

“Break my word!" Flora echoed, with a. desperate laugh. “n: that was all-l" She stopped, seeming frightened, and Page thought, "She did poison Mrs. Roy!"

Bu‘ even as she thought it, a glance at Flora‘s distressed, irre- solute UJKrTOBSIOII, the weak little veiny hands that seemed to in- dicate a. weak little velny soul, re- assured her. ‘Flora wasn't capable of poisoning anyone, even herself.

"No; I've never seen the diamond," Flore was saying. And in a little natural feminine cur- iosity she added, "Is it so beauti- ful?"

Page glanced at Rand, and re- membered suddenly that of course he hBd not seen it either. ‘

"It looks like a. piece of pale pink glass, except when it glitters. You'll see it on Saturday."

"I don't think the Duchess will do anything about the police." Rand began. Page gave him a significant glance. If Flora had not: been there, once again she

But she dared not speak out be- fore Flora, who repeated everything upstairs. She merely said, "I thought Mrs. Prendergasfs object was to get hold of the Ked Anna. not to suspect me of stealing the diamond. I- have gotten hold of it, but on a promise, and I have to keep my promise."

"We could certainly find it if we searched for it!" Flora snapped.

"Perhaps you could, Flora, if you're a mind reader. I'm think- ing of where it. is now," Page said scornfully. "I'm sorry," she smiled to Rand, when Flora preclpltatedly rose and jerked her lean little person away. “But I do tliink it's all crazy. What does she want? I've gotten the diamond. every- thlngks in line for a. quick move, and they began tomake all this fuss about waiting three days!"
