Ilis memory of recent cvents is gone, but he is clear enough on one point. It is that he is very much in love with Caroline. | Chapter 44 AT THE PRIORY BOUT ten minutes later Jim sud- denly clutched Caroline and said, “Hush!” The front door of Happicot had opened and someone was coming out. The door shut again, Jim spoke under his breath. “It’'s Tom—" The light o® the street-lamp showed overalls, a leather cap, and gogsgles. “She’s sehding Tom,” said Jim. They saw him go round the house into the shadow. “Suppose it's a blind,” said Caro- line. Jim’s hand tightened on her wrist. He sald: “Look!” Out of the shadow beside the house came the figure in overalls, pushing Tom's motor-bi “It isn't Tom—that's reaidy to start as soon as she's n ing enough noise not to notice us. What can you do?" “Fifty,” said Caroline. The chug-chugging of the motor- | cycle filled the juiet road. A corner | of the blind above was lifted. Some- one ‘'was watching Nesta start. Jim thought Tom would probably hear all about that later on Caroline kept about thirty behind. There was very little fic on the road, and it was now p tically dark. They ran for five mil and then the tail-light dis “Where's she goue?” a puzzled voice. “Sandy Lane,” said Caroline, “Is it drivable?” “They've made a parking-ground in a field about a quarter of a mile along to the left. The road’s all right as far as that, but I can get the car a good bit nearer the ruins. Do you think she’s going there?” They turned off, and saw the réd spark again. Caroline switched off her lights and crawled forward over a horribly rough surface. The red spark drew away and then suddenly went out. ' Jim whispered, off?” *“‘Stopped, I think. We must too. 1 can't turn here—we shall have to back.” He opened the door and jumped out. “Caroline—will you do just what I say? Back down to the parking- | place and turn, then stay there till | I come. Get as much out of the way as you can.” He did not wait for an answer, but | made off up the ‘ane. He tried to fix |in his mind the exact spot at which the red light had vanished. He must | be getting near it now. i And then all of a sudden there | was the motoreycle, jammed up | against the hedge. A bare yard far- | ther on he came on the wicket gate. |The ruin of St. Leonard’s Priory is | one of the sights of the county, It | cannot be said to be easy of access, | but in summer weather it is much in favor with school treats, sketching- | parties, and lovers. Jim followed the path until he could see thé dark mass of the tow- er loom up between him and a sky which was not quite so dark, At In- tervals he stopped to listen. And then all at once he didn’t hear, he saw. “Has she turned E WAS about a dozen yards from the tower, which was real- ly only a shell, the hollow side to- wards him. The winding stair, | which had once led to the top, had long since fallen, but the slits which had lighted it remained, piercing the 1 outer wall at regular intervals. What Jim saw was the lowest of these slits, and he saw it because on the other side of the tower wall some- one had struck a match. "As he approached the slit, he beard the murmur of voices. He laid @ hand on the rough, damp wall of tower, stooped to the slit, and from the other side of it heard Nesta |say: I want to see them.” He listened eagerly for the man’s voice. All that he knew of him up to the present was the feel of his agile twisting body and the sharpness of ;l'l teeth. He had not the slightest | doubt ln! it was his_burglar to § ‘whom was ‘spea The' vviu was as tamiliar to him said Jim in | WenZiorTh as his own—a rather soft-sounding voice, with no particular mark of voice. And it had been sounding in his mind ever since the wreck of the Alice Arden. In the shock of this recognition he lost what was said. Nesta spoke again in a sharp undertone. “1 want to see them.” “Not much, you won't! Anyway that before—not such a fool.” Nesta did not speak any louder, but her voice had the true scold’s rasp. in it. “I'm to run your errands, and fetch and carry for you, and be cheated out of whut I've earned? You can think again!" “Look here,” saia the man— “that’s enough! Do you hear? The sooner I'm out of the country the sooner you'll get your share. Stop talking like a lunatic and hand over the cash!” “Not till I've seen them!” They were so close against the wall that Jim could hear every movement .and — almost — every Dbreath, He heard the man ways, and he heard Nesta take a | sharp breath. “Hanpd that moaey over man. Ne; laughed. “Do you think I'm such a fool as to have it on me? Keep your hands | to yourself, and keep your dis- | tanca?” There was another movement. Jim thought the man stepped back. “Where's the money?" The smoothness voice was broken. —* where yards away. where I put it, and there it'll y untii I've scen what [ want to aid the [here was an dangerous pause. It occurred m that it would be bad luck if he were to get mixed up in another murder. Some day Nesta would go too The pause broke. The voice was smooth again. That true?” “Cross my heart! “You'll get it cr: | it you're not careful! “Come on, or I'll think you haven’t got them! And if yon haven't got them, ['m off.” A match head scraped on emery, and the slit in the wall flared yel- low. Jim, stooping forward on the inner side, saw, framed by the black wall, a man’s hand with eight green stones dangling, just as he had seen it in his creams. In his dreams it had been Elmer’s hand, but this was a smaller, smoother hand than El mer Van Berg's. The maich was out of the picture. [t w.- above and be- hind the green stones, making a transparency of them. Jim heard Nesta exclaim, then saw her face, avid and dark, lips parted, close-set eyes intent, On the other side there came into view a man's profile—straight forehead, long nose, straight thin lips, long chin—and all in a moment was blot- ted out again, The match fell, trail- ing a spark across the darkened picture, and in the same instant Jim reached at arm’s length through the slit, caught the swinging chain and jerked it clear. a knife AROLINE sat in the car, and felt the darkness and the silence come blanketing down. She had backed into the parking-ground and run up close under the hedge, so that on one side she_had a black wall of thorny twigs, and on the other the formless shadows of the field. She had switched off her lights lest by any chance she should be seen. The time went slowly. After a bit she shut her eyes and began to think about Jim. He had kissed her differently, and he had said, “I love you with all my heart and soul.” And , e had said, “If I get out of this, we'll get married.” Caroline thought about these things. It was like looking out from under an angry black cloud into a heavenly sunny place. It was like logking into a dream and finding beauty and gladness beyond any- thing you had imagfned. Caroline looked. : She was not sure how long she had been dreaming, when a light startled her broad awake. It shone red through her eyelids, and she opened them, dazzted, to meet the headlights of a car. As she ex claimed, someone shouted. The light swing aside and a car drew up at right angles. Instantly the doors were flung open and she was hailed by name. Two people jumped out. (Copyright, 1933, J. B.
