He must prove, against much circumstantial evidence, that ke did not steal the Ven Berg emeralds and shoot mer Van Berg. He has learned that Nesta Riddell, who found Rim 1 a hospital, Tis memory gone, and claimed him as husband, is ‘about to take money to the man Jim he- Heves is the rcal thief. He spends the day watching ta’s hovse and awaiting 9 o'clock, the hour when Caroline Leigh is to join him. He loves Caroline, and intenda to demand that she keep out of th affair.

This dazzle of headlights, h its darkness, was going to make it most frightfully difficult to epot He turned at the end of h and walked in the Ledlington rection, and as he did so, a s succeeding beat di: Caroline. “Oh, Jim . do let me help! You see, it in a good dark place bat n the lamp-posts in Sandringham Drive and watch the house. You'll miss her if you s here. It’s all quite simple and ou 't do it with mé, 1 shall just go off and do It by mysell.” For a ened.

She put up her face, an her. They had always k another, but this was a different | kiss. « They were both tremhnng‘l d, and AN S | 7121 went on speaking. I'll tell you what I'm ro. You'd better be prepared bit of a shock. The emeralds at Hale Place, in the Blue Room. What | want to know is— did you ever tell anyone—anyole, Caroline clung to him, Caroline clung to him. After a mo- j ment he got hold of himself. He said, “You mustn't!” tried to put her away. She pressed closer. “Jim—do you love me—really “I haven't got any right to.” A little shaky laugh came from gomewhere just under his chin. Her hair rubbed against his cheek. “I never asked you that.” An arm 1id round his neck. “Jim—say you ove me!” “My darling, I love you with all my heart and soul. ... I mustn't.” “Silly!” said Caroline. She stood on tiptoe, dragged his head down, and kissed him shamelessly. “Jim— darling!” She was lifted, held so close that she could not breathe, and most pas- sionately kissed. Then with her heart thumping and her head spin- ning, she was set down at arm’s length and held there. “Now you've got to go home,” said Jim in an odd hard voice. “No, it's no use—you've got to go. If 1 get out of this, we'll get married, but until I do you've got to stand clear.” “Oh!” said Caroline rather faint- ly. Jim’s grip was hurting her. His wrists must be like iron; she couldn’t move the least fraction of an inch. and P “rYAROLINE, you've got to go home. I'm here on a job, and you mustn’t hinder me. I haven't time to tell you about it. I'm waiting to see it Nesta comes out. If she does, I've got to follow her. I think she’s going to meet the man who's got the emeralds.” | “Oh!” said Caroline. This was a | different “Oh”—a breath of pure | surprise. “So you must go quickly. I mustn’t miss her. You see, I don’t know which way she will be going—I've got to watch both ends of the drive.” “And suppose she’s got a bicyrle —what will you do then?” ' “She hasn’t got one.” “Isn’t there one in the house?” “Only Tom's motor-bike.” “Suppose she takes that.” “Then I shall be dished. But it's aot likely.” Jim, listen—because I've seen Susie mind—about the hiding place behind the shield?” “No, I didn't,” said Caroline. “Then | must have put damned things there myself.” “You couldn’t have,” said Caro- line in a deep sure voice. “Then who did?” “I don’t know. It wasn’t you. Now, | the Van Berg, and I've got to tell you what she said. It's—it's not very good news, Jim.” She told him about Susie. When she had finished, Jim said quietly, “That puts the lid on—doesn’t it? | I suppose I did it. I can’t believe it, but I suppose I did do it.” | Caroline caught her breath. She went on quickly. “There’s something else. After I left Susie I lost my way. That you get into the car, we can stand | frightful storm was right overhead. I blundered into someone’s room. There was a screen in front of the door, so they didn’t sce me.” “Who is ‘they’?” said Jim. “Nesta and that cousin of hers who is housekeeper there—Caroline Busseil.” He said, “Well?” “They were doing a sort of maglc with a bowl of ink, like crystal gaz- ing. The Bussell woman is rather frightening. She picked up the bowl of ink, and put it on her lap and locked into it.” “Well?” “I hated it! And then of a sudden Nesta asked her where the emeralds were, and she described the Blue Room.” “Well, they were there all right,” sald Jim. “Did she say anything about the shield?” “No, she didn't. She called out suddenly, ‘He's alive! Did you know | that he was alive?” And the bowl | tilted and all the ink upset. I ran away.” He leaned forward and took her by the wrist. “Whom were they talking about?”* “I don’t know.” Jim let go of her wrist and sat back. “I don’t think she meant me,” he said in a slow controlled voice.
