And be- Bind the fog things moved—vague, Borribld things. He jerked himself out of the fog and flung out his hand, “Np—I can’t remember.” “What—nothing?"” “No—no—" “Not your own name?” “I don’t—know—" “Your-name’s Jim Riddell,” eaid Kesta sharply. The name came back to him like | 4 22t echo from somewhere in his s Fortune Pitvicia WentworTh He looked at her with something very grim in his expression. “Will you kindly tell me who you are?” i The color rose in her cheeks. She looked eway trom him. “I'm Nesta.”] “I'm afraid that tells me nothing.” “Nesta Riddell.” She risked a sldeways glance. That three days’ beard gave him a savage look. . . . I wasn't only the beard. ... She stayed where she was, but it needed an effort not to jump up and get nearer the door. | “And still that tells me nothing,” he said in a carefully controlled voice. Nesta sprang to her feet and flurg out her hands. “I'm your wife. Jimmy—you can’ t' haye forgotten me!” E had known what she was go-| ing to say; before she said it| he had braced himself to take the’ shock, When it came, it actually steadied-him. He felt as cold as ice and as quiet as if he were dead. He said just above his breath, “My wife—no—" She burst into angry tears. Take it whatever way you like, it was a' slap in the face. Nesta did not take kindly to being slapped. She felt no impulse to turn the other cheek. “Yes—your wife! What else did, "I'm your wife, Jimmy!™ mind. It was as if someone had gpoken it from behind that deaden- ing fog. She said, “Your name is Jim Riddell,” and something in his own mind answered her. 16 said the name aloud: “Jim—" fhen with more confidence, “Yes— Jim.” %Jim Riddel),” said Nelu firmly. .He preferred Jim to Jimmy any day of the week. Jim Riddell . . He left the name and began to go iover what she had said, He took the easiest part first. “You brought me here yesterday? 1 can’t remember anytbing about i “You needn’t worry about that. They gave you some kind of a Sleeping-draught to take you over “ the move, and when we got here you had a good drink of hot mflk and oft you went again likc a baby.” “Why did you bfing me bere?” His'voice was quiet and direct. - Nesta's dark eyebrows rose. “That's a fuiiny thing to ask. Where else should I take you? We'd agreed to .give London a miss, hadn't we?” He groped for memories of Lon- don. “London?” “You're not going to say you've forgotten London!” 2 I've torgotten everything, I—" His band closed upon the edge of the bed.

Well, how much can you remember? How did you come here, it: yow're not my husband? Why, Tom and I went to the hospital and fetched you away!” She dashed the angry tears from her eyes with the back of her hand. It was the gesture of a furious child. The tears were real, and so was the choke in her voice as she flung open the door and called, “Min! Min! Come here!” She stood aside as the girl in tha blue smock ran in. Min came to a standstill about a yard inside the door, looking timidly from Nesta to the bed. “Perhaps you'll believe Min, if you won'’t believe me.” Nesta wasn't crying now, but her color was high and her eyes bright. “What is it?” said Min in a be- wildered voice. ““Tell him who he is!” said Nesta sharply. “Jimmy? Why, Jimmy Riddell.” “Tell him who I am.” Min began to look frightened. “Why, Nesta.” “Nesta what?” “Nesta Riddell.” She took a scex towards the bed. “What's the mat- ter?. Don’t you remember?” She spoke sweetly and pitifully. He shogk his head, watching them both, holding himself in. “Oh dear! Don’t you know Nesta? Oh dear!” He spoke then, quite quietly. “I've lost my meémory. I don't know either of you. You say I'h Jim' Riddell?” * ' “Oh yes.” #And that i3 Nesta Riddell?” “Oh dear, yes.” “What is she to me?” “Oh, she's your wife,” said Min, and burst out crying. (Copyriuht, 1993, 3. B: ippmeott Ov.)

Mtco was small, compact, spoke | little and lived with Spartan sim- plicity. Hishikari is the tallest man in Japan’s list of full gener- als, loose-jointed, laughs frequent- ly and likes a hearty joke. Has Long Nickname His army nickname is “General Dancihg - With - Joy - Like - A Sparrow” and thereby hangs this tale: In 1928 he received his first im- portant colonial command, that of the Japanese garrison in Formosa. To a friend who sent congratula-' tions the general wrote, borrowing a phrase familiar in Chinese clas- sics: “%.shall. go to Formosa dancing with joy like a sparrow.” | When he was appointed to his new post an interviewer asked i he would live up to his mckname in Changchun. Manchukuo is a rar than Formosa,” the general 1ephed \ “A sparrow general would not do| there.
