"I see the buckle of a woman's belt in there!
The ominous echoes gradually died away, and the stillness of the night settled over all once more. The crouching policemen stared at each other strangely. "Hear that?" ejaculated Redmond, with a startled oath, "By G d! he's shot himself! must have it sounded muffled. . . . All over! I'll bet his brains "
Then I guessed that they had only drawn off the policemen so as to let someone get in, so Tierney and I beat it up the stairs as fast as we could. When you took so long to answer the door, we thought you were gone, sure." "Well, the little rat did have me wondering for a few minutes," admitted Marsh. "If he had really come to kill me I think he could have got me, all right.
