“Beauchamp expects to leave just before midnight. He will enter his garage and step into his limousine.

Then his chauffeur will drive him over to Lewisport, on the B R Railroad. Some of the sheriff’s men will follow. So Beauchamp will be well enough protected.”

“I’m glad he’s getting out of town,” decided Milton. “Well, I’m turning in. I guess you’ll want to do the same, Vincent. If the bells ring, old man, be sure to wake me.”

Milton accompanied Vandrow to the door. Then he and Harry went upstairs and entered their rooms.

The two apartments were at different ends of a long hall.

Downstairs, Lester was standing by the front door. His eyes were glaring. He, too, had heard the announcement of Beauchamp’s departure. The servant’s fists were clenched. His face glowered as his cracked lips twitched.

Then, in methodical fashion, the servant crossed the hall and extinguished the lights. He moved slowly up the stairs to the second floor; his footsteps creaked as he took another flight of steps to the third.

Harry Vincent, lying in his bed, could hear the old servant moving on the floor above. Then came silence.

The mansion, like the tower on the hill, was hushed amid the quietude of night.
