She let in a -little and had risked as much for them as Jimmy had. If Van Berg died, they'd oring her in accessory after the fact. | She’'d risked that, and she wasn't [ going to be done out of her price, not much she wasn’t. She’d have her | share of those emeralds whatever she had to do to get it. It was a long time now since the footsteps overhead had ceased. For a little while there had been the | faint whisper of voices, but it was a long time since they toc had died | away. She wondered if there was any- thing in that stunt of old Caroline | Bussell’s. It was whispered in the | village that Caroline knew a good | many things that she hadn't any i right to know. People in Packham | said she had a hold over Mr. Ent- | whistle and could do what she liked { with him. | Suppose she had tried this stunt i of hers on him. Suppose she had | gone into his room at the dead hour of the night, the hour between mid- night and the first hour of the day, | 'slipping in on her stocking feet with a bowl of water in her hand. You'd | have to tread like a cat and keep | yourself almost from breathinz so as to know by the breathiug of the | sleeping man whether he were deep | enough asleep, Old Caroline always walked quietly, She gave you the creeps in broad daylight the way she’d come on you without the least sound, with her neat upright figure and her prim | starched collar, her face that always put Nesta in mind of a plump floured scone, and her brown front that never had a hair out of place. There —it was all nonsense, and creepy nonsense at that. Ounly, if a man cotld be got to talk ke that in the dead of night with no power to hold anything back . . She sprang up suddenly and looked at the clock between the china cherubs. The hands stood at halt past twelve. Nesta kept her eyes fixed on them for a moment. Then with a jerk of the shoulders she stooped, undid her shoes, and, door and opened it. “There was no light in the passage or on the upper landing. The lino-| leum was cold under her feet as she went through into the kitchen and switched on the bulb in the ceiling. MIN'S big mixing-bow! would be. about the right size. She and filled it half way at the tap. The water had to be cold—that was what old Caroline said. But how cold anything cold water so long at it came out of the cold water tap. This wasn't very cold—no bite in of the hot water tap wouldn’t do it dipped her hand into the bowl Would that wake you up if you were asleep?

In her heart of hearts Nesta did not believe that it was rubbish. ' ‘At the kitchen door she hesitated, and then put out the light. Now the ‘hause was all dark and silent with the warm, breathing silence of | sleep. Even the mewest and rawest of houses is a-haunted louse In the ludq!wt. 'l'h-bodluol’lhcu- %F%@Mfia&smmrs%fij She listened, and at first she could hear nothing at all because of the drumming in her ears. Then, after she had stood there for a while, it passed and she could distinguish his slow, deep breathing. The window | was open and a light, cool air came in. Nesta turned and closed the door with a steady hand. There should be a chair at the foot of the bed. She frowned to find it heaped with his discarded .clothes. ! Wlien she had slid them off on'to the ) floor, she brought the chair to the bedside and set the powl af water down upon it. | By this time she could see the out- | line of the window and the black jutting corner of the chest of ‘ drawers. The bed was just visible, v\ { and when she had looked a little | longer she could see that he lay facing the window with his right | arm clear of the bed-clothes. | | HE kneeled down by the bed and i reached for the bowl. The chair | was too high. It hampered her, and she pushed it away. She could hold the bowl in one hand and have the | other free. Yes, that was better. She put out her hend-and felt for his, bringing her fingers down upon his wrist by the slowest of degrees. It seemed as if an interminable time passed before her hand lay on his, and he had not moved. There was something almost terrifying about this contact. His hand was heavy, inert, and warm. It was warmer than her own. She began to guide it very slowly towards the edge of the bed, and all the time she listened for a change in his deep, slow breathing. The change came with an extra- ordinary suddenness. He cried out | and flung over towards her, startling her so much that she jerked sharply back, letting go of his wrist and slopping some of the water over on to the floor. Her heart thumped hard, and through its thumping she heard him say in a rapid mutter, “Eight of them—the finest in the world—no one knows—" After the first recoil she stayed quite still. The mutter died. The bowl of water became heavier and heavier in her hand. He lay now | almost on his face, his left arm un- | der him and his right hanging over | the edge of the bed. His breailuing | became slow and deep again. She let the time go by. { At last she put her hand on his ; and slowly, slowly brought the bowl | of water up to it. This time her fingers covered his. Hers touched the water first. And then almost im- perceptibly their two hands sank into the bowl. He did not move. He breathed in the same deep, slew way. His hand was heavy and stfll, She said, in a voice that was just not a whisper. “Where are the emeralds?” And at once he stirred in his sleep. His head moved on the pillow; his band moved in hers. He nld as i, Tepeating her words, “The emeralds?” “Where are the emeralds?” There was the same movement agzain. He said, “No one knows.” “You know.” This time there was no movemaat and no answer, “You know where the emeralds are” He lay still and said, muttering, “I know.” “YWhere are they?” She felt a flerce excitement, a flerce demand. His hand pulled on hers. She forced her will, and felt that he re. sisted it. “Where are they?” He said, “No one knows but ms- The resistance hardened. “Tell me.where they are.” ., He wrenched his hand from hers. The -water ran over-the lip-of the ‘bowl into her lap. Then, before she could’ recover herself, he reached out and caught her by the throat. (Copyright, 1933; J. B.
