he walked, as though directed by some unseen force, into Mr. DeBrugh's
study. She switched on a lamp beside the sofa on which he had always
sat; and she noticed that it was moved slightly out of place.

There was something else about the room, some memory of old days. First
she saw some sort of legal document on the table and wondered at its
being there. The title said: _Last Will and Testament of Hector A.
DeBrugh+. It was brief. She read it through and found that Mr. DeBrugh
had spoken truthfully in his promise to her.

Beside the will on the table was another object, and she knew then what
the "something else" in the room was.

The meerschaum! It lay there beside the document, and a thin spiral of
grayish smoke rose upward from it toward the ceiling.

No longer did Letty wonder about anything.
