He has been told by Nesta Riddcll that he stole them limself, and that he is her husband. Dut the emeralds are snatched from his hand by aiother man, who escapes with them. Jim mects Nesta's sis- ter-in-law in Ledlington, and learns enough to suspeot that his burglar is the man who communi- cated late the wnight before with | Nesta. Chapter 41 } THE MAJOR CALLA S JIM RANDAL entered the free | library in Ledlington, a car | stopped at Miss Patsy Arbuthnot’s | wicket gate and a small dapper man got out. He slammed the door of :he car behind him, clicked open the gate, marched up the path to the { front door, and delivered a smart rat-tat. He wore an air of military im patience, and after the briefest of intervals his knock was repeated, and so loudly as to bring Patsy Ann sut of the scullery without waiting to dry her hands. Her consternation was considerable at finding the Chiet Constable on the doorstep at such an hour—the breakfast things not cleared away; her feet—Patsy was proud of her feet—in her old; est shoes; and her hands and arms dripping with the geranium dye in which she had just immersed an aged pink sports coat. Her color rose. She put up a hand | tain on to her hair, left a gruesome her temple, and said in an voice, “Oh good mornin son—I'm dyeing. Hang it all, the girl looked as if she had been killing a pig. With this in the back of hi he removed his hat and said, morning “I'm afraid I'm an early visitor,” he proceeded, “but I've come on a matter of business. Perhaps I might see Miss Leigh.’ Pats indicated gzized for the breakfa ran upstairs in desp: Carolin “Major Anderson is downstairs, and my coat’s only half done—; just look at me!” Caroline was dusting her dress- ing-table. She straightened up with hor back to Fa Tajor Ande: Yes — the Chief Constable —on business. What can he want? He asked for you. I must just of this stuff off my hands. Do come down. Major Ander- mind, Good a chair, apolo- things, and to inform <R moving. She put on a little rouge and went down. Major Anderson was looking out of the window. He might have been admiring the dahlias. He turned as she came down the stair, said, “How do you do?” and pulied a chair away from the breakfast table for her. “Miss Leigh,” he said, “I've called at what, I hope, is not a very incon- venient hour to make some inquiries about—well, about Jim Randal.” Caroline said, “Yes?” Her voice sounded deep and mournful. It did not shake; that was one comfort. \YOW Miss Leigh,” said Major Anderson—*“perhaps you would- n't mind telling me when you last heard from Jim Randal.” “It was the beginning of August,” said Caroline. ‘Can you give me the date?” “Yes—the fourth.” “Would you mind telling me what he said?” “Oh mno. It was just a few lines. I was staying with Mrs. Ogilvie at Craigellachie. Jim was coming there too. He wrote to say he would take a steamer up the coast.” “Did he say what steamer?” “No.” “Did you hear again?” “No, we didn’t.” Major Anderson leaned forward. “Had you any reason to suppose that he was on the Alice Arden?” His small, sharp grey eyes fixed Caroline. “We thought he must have been.” “Why?” “He didn’t come, and he didn’t write.” Y “I see. You say he didn't write. You're sure of that? You're sure he hasn’t communicated with you since the wreck of the Alice Arden?” “Quite sure,” said Caroline. She wondered whether this was a lie. What was “communicating?” “Now, Miss Leigh—I believe you went to the Elston cottage hospital in response to a broadcast message stating that they had a man there who appeared to have lost his mem- ory. It was believed that his name was Jim Riddell, or Randal. You | went there?” R O eous Fortune e by Piiicia nd | “All right,” said Caroline without | ALL T ASK, VIPE - - PLEASE DON'T LOCK IN === DERE HE GOES, MA ---LOOK HE'S SETTIN' ON DE BENCH-- NOW LOOKIT HIiM~ HE'S FEEDIN' DE PIGEONS - WentiorTh “You didn't see the man?” “No—his wife had taken him Yes, —and left no ad- his wife e said his name was Riddell,” said Caroline. She hoped she did not say it too quickly. “You were satisfied that it could not have been Jim Randal?” “Jim {sn’t married—she said it ner husband.” nd you've heard nothing from your cousin since then?” The telephone bell rang on the other side of the room. Caroline had never been so glad to hear anything in her life. She went over to the foot of the stair and lifted the receiver. As she did so, Patsy’s door opened and Patsy’s voice called to her. “l expect that's Jenny to know whether I'm coming to the treasure hunt this evening. If it is, tell her I can't. “I'm so sorry,” said Caroline over her shoulder to Major Anderson. Then she jut the receiver to her ear, and heard Jim say, “Caroline—" 1t was the most paralyzing shock. Jim—telephoning to her—and the Chief Constable exactly three yards away, waiting for an answer to his question: “And you've heard noth- ing from your cousin since then?” Wi . PATSY was coming down the stairs. “I'm so sorry, Major Anderson, but I was simply drenched with dye. Do forgive me for being so long. Caro- line won't be a moment.

Good-bye, “Wait,” said Caroline Wait.” Her lips were so stiff that she could | hardly get them to move. How was she to find words that would m nothing to Patsy and Major Ander- son and yet stop Jim from going away where she couldn’t find him or get into touch with him? She had to give him Susie Van Berg’s message and to let him know the frightful danger he was in. ‘I mustn’t wait,” said Jim. “Don’t “Where are you ringing from?” As she waited for Jim’s an. T, she heard Major Anderson say to Pats hen you believe that your cousin was drowned?” Then Jim: “Ledlington post office. stop. Caroline’s head cleared suddenly. She bent down to the mouthpiece and spoke in quite a natural voice. “Wait a moment—you don’t forget you're coming to Jenny Ross’ treas ure hunt, do you? They won’t begin while it’s light, so we’d better meet about nine.” “What are you talking about? Carcline, you've got to keep out of this.” Caroline achieved a laugh. “l can't stop either—I've got @ visitor, I'll be at the end of Nesta’s road—I can’t remember its name— right?” “Caroline, you 're not to come! | can’t be there. “Very well, I'll be there at nine. .+ .

Major Anderson rose to his feet. “If you have any news of youl cousin—* He stopped, said “H'm!” and changed the construction of his sentence. “If your cousin should communicate with either of you, will as soon as possible—in his own in- terests—" He checked himself fo1 the second time. cate with anyone again, since he had either been drowned or else had the very strongest motives for making himself scarce. A bad business. Used to be a damn nice youngster. Well, well, He got into his car and drove away. (Copyright, 1933, J. B.
