But Moberg did not turn. Calderton reached the table and grasped the knife by the handle, careful not to soil his gloves with the stain that had come from Snade’s fingers.

Another swift step he took. His left arm went around Moberg’s neck, and his right hand drove the knife into Moberg’s heart.

Panic seized him as the knife went home. He sprang backward and reached the window. He tossed Snade’s cigarette case to the floor. Outside he darted, and there crouched in the darkness for a moment.

Moberg had slumped forward in the chair, and he had ceased breathing. The deed was done! Moberg could not have Calderton arrested now. And, if the detectives who had been watching him made a move, Calderton could say that it was the usual espionage.

He hurried to the end of the veranda and dropped to the ground. He started across the lawn, keeping to the shadows until he reached the side street. Here the darkness of the giant trees cut off the light from the arc lamps.

As the first drops of rain hit his face, Calderton almost laughed aloud. Even the elements were working for him. If he had left footprints at the end of the veranda or on the soft places in the lawn, the storm would obliterate them.
