THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSD»\Y NOV 9 I933 g Chapter &6 THE POLICE ROLINE heard Jim sa; I TR | R BRI IR “It’s They came out into the open. » ' Kitty and Jock were close to | gether, whis z. The torch played on Jim n. Kitty ran for- ward. “The next clue is the Heart and Hand at Hinton. We can all go on together—it'll be much more fun. Hurry cars up—there are more coming!” Jim slipped a hand through Caro- i ,lmr s arm. i E They crossed to the other car and he helped her in. She and Kitty had the back seat. Jock Anderson took the wheel. They passed a couple of cars in the lane, tty screamed out, beaten you! You'll have Au soon as they were out on the main road Jim spoke. “I'm afraid 1 don’t want to go to the Heart and Hand.” Jock Anderson Kitty gave a stifled gi Jim spoke again. “I don’t think you're deaf, Ander- »on, but perhaps you don’t speak d nothing. 'We've beaten you. » unless you've been introduced. Let me introduce myself. My name is Randal—Jim Randal” “Well?” Jock Anderson’s voice was defiant. “Well, I don’t want to go to the Heart and Hand, but I needn’t take you out of your way. I suppose Major Anderson’s still just across the road—I don’t seem to see him moving house.” Caroline sat up straight and stiff. The blood thumped in her ears. No- body spoke. “I've got business with Major Anderson,” said Jim in the most erdinary voice in the world. Jock Anderson found his tongue. “l was going to take you there anyhow,” he said roughly. Kitty leanéd forward, elbows on knees, quick breath nearly choking her. What was going to happen >mext. Would he try and hit Jock over the head and grab the wheel? And it he did, would it be any good her trying to scrag him? “What a lark!"” said Kitty ecstati- cally. She did not say it aJoud, be- cause Jim was speaking again. “You needn’t have bothered to put Miss Leigh's car out of action— He cut the leads,” he explained over his shoulder to Caroline. Then, “I don’t know if she'll want to run you # in for it, but I expect it's actionable all right. We can asgk your uncle— he's sure to know.” HE car swerved. “1 should think you'd have enough to ask him on your own ac- count,” growled Jock. “Oh, we'll get down to you. daresay you won't mind waiting. The drumming sound jn Caroline’s ears ceased. She was very cold, and there was a sick weight on her heart. She went on sitting up straight. Her hands gripped one another desperately. Since they had come to the end, she must keep her head up. Beside her Kitty drew a long breath of disappointment and sat back. There wasn't going to be a scrap after all. Of coyrse you never knéw—he might be waifing to get Jock off his guard, She had better keep her eyes open. A car passed them without dim- BARNEY GOOGLE AND SPARK PLUG HA---THIS IS GONNA BE THE EASIEST FIVE GRAND Y EVER EARNED ---~ WenZniorTh tming. The light swept over them all and wes gone again. the back of Jock’s head, Jim Ran- dal's profile, and, as she turned to ~et the glare out of her eyes, Caro- line. She rook Caroline’s face back into the dJdarkness. What did she want to look like that for? It spoilt the lark. 1t made her feel as if some- one had poured cold water dowr the back of her neck. HEY came into Hinton, and stopped at Major Anderson’s gate. The house faced the Heart and Hand across the village street, a circumstance which had op- pressed the landlord for twenty years. A man may be sober, honest, and law-abiding, without finding it agreeable to have the eye of the law for ever trained upon his premises. “I haven't seen a drunken man in Hinton for fifteen years,” Major Anderson was wont to say. He lived in a low two-storied house which was hardly more than a cot- tage. It held himself, a quiet eld- erly sister who kept cats, and spo- radic nephews and nieces who turned things upside down and left rather a blank when they went away. The party of four had reached the porch, when the door of the house was opeped, showing the lighted You'll have to hurry!” hall. The man who had opened it spoke over his shoulder. “Very well, sir, I'll report in the morning.” Major Anderson came into view. “Just a minute Gray.” Then, as he caught sight of his nephew, “Hullo, Jock—you're back early. Whom have you got with you? I can't see.” Jim Randal took Jock by the shoulder and put him out of the way. “I expect you've forgotten me, Major Anderson,” he said. “I'm Jim Randal.” Caroline followed him into the hall. There was a dead silence for 2 moment. Kitty and Jock came in and the door was shut. Then Inspector Gray moved forward and spoke. “If you are Mr. Randal of Hale Place, I must ask you to accompany me to the police-station.” Jim looked past him at Caroline. “It's all, right—don’t worry,” he said. Then he turned to Major Ander- son. “I came here to make a statement about the Van Berg affair, sir.” “A voluntary statement?” “Yes. 1 want to make a state- ment—I came here to make one.” Major Anderson opened the door behind him. “Come into my study. Jock, you'a better take Kitty and Miss Leigh home.” Caroline turned piteous eyes on him. “Major Anderson, please let me come in. I want to make a state- ment too. I know some of it bet- ter than he does.” She came up to him, He surely couldn’t have the heart to keep her out. She blessed the inspector when he said, “I think we'd better have her in sir.” And then there were four of them in the small smoky room, with its neat writing-table and its comfart- able shabby chairs. Caroline sat down on one of them, and the door was shut. The inspector was speak- ing to Jim. (Copyright, 1933, J. B. Lippincott Co., Tomorow, Jim tells his story te the police.
