A Wwoman on the train remarks that the police aré taking finger prints from glasses found at the Van Bergs: Caroline Jollows her, learns that'a page is !ylasl:rq from the book in Wwhich Van Berg kept the finger prints of nis friends—and that the missing page bore the initials “J.

It was a| narrow street of ,prim, decent| houses. No. 14 was about half way i down on the right-hand side. She rang the bell, and presently | tc the door was opened by a thin mid. | dle-aged woman in a lilac overall. Her drab hair was curled aci her forehead under a net. She looked as if she had been. inte rupted in the middle of her cook-| ing, for her face was flushed and| damp, and there was a dab of flour | on her sleeve. “Why do you always “I'm so, sorry to. trcable you,” sald Caroline, . “but was a Mr. James Riddell living here in July?” “You've made a mistake,” said | the thin woman, and moved to shut 59¢ i ORANGES—Sweet and Juicy, n 15¢ d Fobd Co. Free Prb "y o s mpt _DelweM the door. The smell o' cabbage came up behind her. Caroline took a quick step for- ward. With one part of her mind she wondered why people who lived in small houses nearly always had cabbage for lunch; with another part she was thinking, “I mustn’t let her shut the door.” #'Oh please,” she sald—"won't you try and help me?” “I don’t take gentlemen lodgers.” She had a tight voice and a polite accent. “He gave this address,” sald Caroline. “You don’t know the name at all?” “Sorry I don’t,” said the thin wo- man, and made such a decided | movement to shut the door that Caroline steppgd back and next moment found herselt looking at the shabby letter-box. The cabbage was shut in, and she was shut out. ‘Whoever Jim Riddell might be, it seemed pretty clear that he had given a false address. She von- dered what had made him pitch on this one, Perhaps the name had stuck in his mind. Saracen Row—it was the sort of name that might stick. And as for the number, 14 was as good as any another. SHE went back to Grove Road and rang the bell of No. 3. Here was quite a different type of landlady—a stout rolling person with a bibulous eye and an easy, Jolly tongue. Of course she remem- bered Miss Willlams— “Why, she was married from here —and a pity she couldn’t have a proper wedding, After all, you can’t get married that way only once, with & wreath and a veil, and white satin slippers.” “Oh, yes,” said Caroline. about Willlams?” “Ah! She’s in the handsome, haughty style. I was more clinging —a way with me, i you understand what I mean—a bit on the playful sides It goes down with the gentle- men—especially if they’re in the strong silent way themselves. It's “And ous Fortune WenZiiorTh the little fellows that fall for the big npstanding girls.” Caroline’s heart jumped. She said quickly and breathléssly, “The man Miss Williams martied —was he small?” “Never set eyes on him. Yes, you may well look surprised. ‘The mys- tery man,’ I called him, and fine and angry she was—'And what do you mean by that, Mrs. Hawkins?" ‘Why,” I said, ‘when a young lfidy, keeps her young gentleman as dark as you do yours—meeting him round the corner and not so much as letting him see you home—well, she must expect remarks to be passed, and whether she expects it or not, passed they will be.’ “Really, you know, she’d a violent | temper, for I'd hardly got the words out of my lps, when .he was through the door and banged it so hard that my first-fioor-front came out on the landing to know what up. ‘Tempers,’ I said. ‘And mys- or no mystery, I'm sorry for the 1 that marries her, for she’s one that'lt have the upper hand herself.’ " “Was she here long?” said Caro- line, “Took the room for three weeks and came and went, You've got to live three weeks in a district before you can get married there, 8o she make fun of Robern” left a bag, and she’d be here for a day and gone for a week—and I'm not saying I wasn't just as pleased, because the opinion I got of her was that if she’d been here the whole three weeks, she’d have been run- ning the show, and me doing odd jobs and cleaning the boots and knives.” Caroline felt an affection for the bibulous lady. She felt that way about, Nesta hergelf, Shoe was a little cheered; but at the same time she didn’t really seem to he making any progress. “And you never saw the man she married?” “No one In this house so much as set eyes on him,” said the fat wo- man regretfully. IT was after six when Caroline got got back to the cottage. She found Patsy Ann sitting pensively on the hearth-rug. She had a thimble on the middle finger of her right hand, and some blue velvet, a needle-case, a spool of silk, and twe pairs of scissors in her lap. But she was not sewing; she did not seem even to have got as far as threading one of the needles. When the door opened, she was gazing into the fire, which was on the point of goimg out. Without turning her head, she sald. “Robert Arbuthnot has here. “My poor thing! wrong now?” “I don’t see why anything should have gone wrong.” “Robert doesn’t generally come unless it has. Why, it's only a month since he dropped in to say your Beet Sugar bonds had de faulted on interest. What is it this time?” “Robert came to lunch.” “He always does—and breaks the glad news over the coffee.” Patsy’s head came up suddenly, “Why do you always m:ke fun of Robert? I think it's very wrong of you! I'm sure it's very good of him to take so much trouble over our affairs—besides, this 17as different.” (Copyright, 1933, J. B.
