Jimmy's words, though low spoken, seemed exposively 'loud' in that tensely still room, And Church, with stark fear in his eyes, writhed in his terror. "Rand, you're crazy, I tell you--" "Don't lie. I might as well tell you that I know beyond a doubt that you did it. I merely want yon to tell me why. "Do you know where I've come from Church? I've just come from a lonely house ip the country where Jensen and 'Kid Divis have been keeping Olga Maynard: That sur. prises you, doesn't it? And Jensen confessed to me that he killed my father«--killed him in that hotel room in Grafton with a blackjack and then turned on the gas to make it look like suicide. "I've known for some time, Church, that Ike Jensen was the murderer. But not until to-day 'did I know that you were the man who hired him to do it." "Don't!" almost screamed Church. "You lie!" "Jensen," went on Jimmy imper- turbably, '"'has confessed. He's being held now by police," he lied. "Church, if you don't tell me why you killed ry Rand, I'll tell you why myself, and then I'll shoot you. I'm giving you a chance. That's more than you gave my father." The other man's head fell for- ward on his breast. His knuckles were red spots where they clutched the arms of his chair. Jimmy continued: *'I ought te kill you right now, Church. Right where you sit." He glanced at his watch. "There are just three min- utes more. That will give me time to tell you of what I learned from Mexico City and gtill leave time for you to confess." At the words "Mexico City" Church raised his head sharply, but Rand went on. L "Church, several years ago a man known as Thomas Rolfe died down in Mexico City. He was wéalthy-- very wealthy. He had made some- thing more than a million dollars out of a mining venture. "When he died he made a very strange will. It seemed that he had a son, but he didn't know whevaer the son was alive or dead, or whether he had any heirs or not. So when he drew up the will he told his lawyers that his mame was nof really Thomas Rolfe, but Thaddeus Rand. "Thaddeus Rand, as you know, Church, was my grandfather. And Thaddeus said that yeass ago a son of his, Honry Rand, had run away from home as the result of eruel treatment. Thaddeus had spent years trying to locate Henry Rand but had sever succeeded. He died a heartbroken man, with the feeling that perhaps his son still lived somewhere, to curse his memory. "Now, that wasn't like Henry Rand---to curse the memory of his father, but Thaddeus was remorse- ful. Anyway, when he drew up his will he left all of his estate to Henry. 'But,' his lawyers said, 'suppose we <an't find Henry Rand? Who gets the estate then?' * 'Charity," said Thaddeus, 'some home somewhere for orphan boys,' and left them with that. And then later he came back) and said that there were other relatives who ought to be remembered. There was 'a sis- ter of his who married a widower with a son. He told his lawyers to locate the sister, and they went! to work. in great beads. "Don't shoot. God! I'll confess, Rand. I did it, I did it." He flung his head down on his arms and ais bulky frame quivered as the words-poured from his mouth ina torrent. He was like a man gone. mada, gibberings untellig- ible. "You see." said Jimmy, "I knew, Church. Now tell me why. Tell me, and I'll give you a chance. Refuse, and you won't leave this room." "My God!" Church sobbed. "I don't know why, Rand. . . .I bought this house. .spent a lot of money and got in debt. . . . Knew that if they ever found Henry Rand I'd go to jail. . . .Then one day a client of mine showed me a letter from the - credit department of Royal Brothers' department store In Grafton. Jt was signed Henry Rand. . . .I tigated, and was sure he was t na we were looking for" "Yon didn't look very fai, or very hard, Church. You didn't want to find him." "And T was afraid he'd find. out some way and discover I'd spent & lot of his money. So I got Jen- sem... .M "How much did you pay Jensen, Church?" "Five thousand dollars." "And where does Divis come in?" "He didn't have anything to do with it. I didn't think he knew anything about it." "Divis was just another of your handy men, eh?" Church hung his head and was silent. "And why were you so anxious to get me out of town, Church?" "Partly because you thought 1 was In your way with---~with Mary Lowell?" Jimmy hegitated on the name, and Church nodded. "And later on," Church admitted, "because I thought you might find out I was handling the estate." "You dirty dog!" Jimmy shot at him. "I wish I could think of some punishment that wasn't too good for you. You rat! You know what led to your downfall, Church? A ticket stub---just an insignificant little yellow stub. Some time when you have occasion to reflect on this you can curse the day you delivered yourself into Jensen's hands and Jensen was careless enough to leave the yellow stub behind. "Did you think your secret would be safe with him? Didn't: you have sense enough to realize he would blackmail you for the rest of your days?" "I had enough on him," said Church dully, staring at his feet. Jimmy tossed the revolver to the middle of the table, then leisurely found himself a cigarette and Mt it. "I may as well tell you' now that I lied to you when I said Divis got that picture from you. And I lied, too, when 1 told you Jensen had im. plicated you. Jensen's dead, and he died without mentioning your name, All I knew for sure, Church, was that you were administrator of Thaddeus Rand's estate. That and the fact that someone overheard Divis say Church had given him some money for Jensen." He shrugged and walked deliber- ately away from the table. "The only thing you've done, Church, lis to make it easier for us* with your con- fession." He had turned his back on Churoh, and he did not see the sudden look of cunning light fhe other man's eyes. Church was slowly drawing himself up in his chair--drawing himself up for a spring. "You've saved us a lot of trou ble--" Jimmy began, but the sen- tence was never finished. With a quick leap Chureh had reached the revolver and he now 'held it in his hand. * "1 did, eh?" he snapped, there were in his voice hate, tempt, new life. "I did? I'm not through yet, see? Do you know how good a confession is, when it's drawn from & man at the point of a gun? Not worth that." He snapped his finger. "I did it, all right. I'm telling you again, but don't think you're going to have such easy sailing. Jensen's dead, eh? And 'Divis doesn't know. Well, they'd have a pretty hard time proving it on me, even with what you've got.
