piay he lapped the glass with if;

at the second, upon s shortened thread. he tangled it hopelessly in the curtains of the room, proving beyond doubt that the way wus clear to enter the house.

Peter lay in his secure gutter for a while. listening. but the sli- ence was absolute, except for the street sounds which drifted over to hiim casually fronl CDi'El'ifi"f3 Square. No one, as far as he could judge- and at the end of it judg- ment would be guesswork -— was moving about ill any of these top- fioci: rooms. It was now for it and the chant-e grew no longer and no shc-rtcr now for being deferred.

l-le roiled over the parapet, and lowered himself by his arms. feel- ing rrlutiouslv for the tiny loot- hold oi the sash‘ The \\'ill(iJ\V rattled as his weight settled gram ually; he got one hand down to the open frame, -and ill another irlonielit was standing upon tile sill.

The accuracy of till-s (iEdUCLi-Ji had never for one moment been in question as far as he was con- cerned. He had at least entered the enemy stronghold successfully; to leave it successfully might not be so cosy, or run in so smooth a groove. He stood quietly freeing his safety-pin from the rustlihg blue curtains, and looked round him.

He was in a box-room; thank goodness for that, at any rate. It might so easily have been a mald's bedroom, or something equally" awkward. But here was nothing except one or two chairs, a few trunks piled along the wall, an easel folded into a corner, and several iloilled canvases tumbled under it. There were other minor indications that. this room. double» ivtndoiived in the antique style. and beautifully light for tho par- pose, had been used as a. studio when such was required. A palette was leaning against the foot ot the easel, and a, large paint rag was thrown dotwn untidily over it.

‘Clearly the room was rarely even

entered. or that rag would have been tidied away long ago, for when he stirred it it gave out a lmall cloud of dust. A jar full of brushes stood upon one of the chairs. Peter remembered that. Lady Cowle painted; or, more ac- curately, that she had painted at one time, and possibly did so oc- casionally still, when the mood was upon her. Out of sheer curiosity, a quality he could ill afford just then, ha unrolied one of the can-

equally dusty

Ivascs, and looked upon a sketch

of Corrie. the most petulant and

am affair of only a few brunt- strokee. but perfectly Corrie The universality o! Lady Cowif was terrifying.

Peter felt an instinctive revolt. against the little ache of inter- lority the thought gave him. This was no time to be afraid of the old woman, unfathomable though her potentialities might be. H0 dIOpped the canvas. crossed silent- ly lo the door. and very gently uniatched it. It gave without l. sound: this was a ivell-tralned house.

The corridor outside was empty. white-why did people like white corridorsil-and very well carpeted. Everything had been specially de- signed to help him to move about like the ghost ile almost wished he was. What would have been the value of one of those cloaks o! invisibility at this moment? This was all very well. but one might well expect the top four of g big house to be deserted at this ncur, when probaby the household were just approaching the end of arl early dinner. If only ho had some idea of where they would .‘n_n- greeate for their t-ount-il.

Father Divine Defends Bequest

NEW YORK. Mo)’ 4 - (AP) — Father Divine, tho Negro cult leader whose constellation of

"ileavclls" received a $500,000 ‘oe- quest from Mrs. Mary Sheldon Lyon. said i-n a statement. read in Surrogate Court today that he was insulted ivhen she first. of- fered him money.

Dr. William Shciiloti, llrotliti oi the late Mrs. Lyon. is contesiing her will on grounds that. she was subject to undue influence and was of unsound mind when she made her will bonefitting the cult.

Father Divlnels statement said Mrs. Lyon offered him money a! a gathering of women "millim- aires" in 1930.

"It is an insult to me then, a: ricvw, for anyone to offer me money, those for whom I have not clone anyihi-ng," said Father Divine. '
