stands to reason he wouldn’t go there all ready for the police, and his name signed to them — would he?” Caroline bit her lip. There was something wrong about the way Mrs. Rodgers was arguing, but she couldn't quite get hold of it—only ij there was something wrong. She thought of Jim, and she said with a rush, “Oh, he wouldn't! wouldn’t!” Mrs. Rodgers shook her head. “Nobody can’t say that. Folks gets quarrelling, and you can’t say what'll happen. But Mrs. Henry, she says, and she holds to it very strong, “ ‘What ‘ud be the good of his tear- |ing the finger-prints out of the book and leaving the glass he’d drunk out of fairly plastered with ‘em? It wouldn't ‘ave took ‘im ‘arf a mingte to ‘ave wiped them off,’ she says— and there's something in that.” She got up and dusted her knees with the cabbage-leaf. “‘I can’t sit on my “eels like I could when I was a gel. Two hundred pound’s 200 pounds, and I shouldn’t wonder if it ‘wasn't more by now.” She sat down on the stile again. A little color came back into Caro- line’s cheeks. That was it—that was what she had been trying to get hold of. If it had been Jim who had torn “| the page out of the book, then why "t he wiped his glass? Every- knows about ‘finger-prints now- adays, He hadn't’ wiped’ his’ glass ‘because he hadn’t anything to hide. -:| He hadn't shot Elmer Van Berg. ‘ ‘She knelt by Mrs. Rodgers’ and laid a hand on her knee.

No need to tell me that.” ‘Oh, I didn’t mean that—I didn’t truly. Oh, dear Mrs. Rodgers —1 didn’t mean anything like that.” Mrs. Rodgers relaxed a little. “ ‘In for a penny, in for a pound.’ What did I say?” “Something about Mrs. Van Berg’s maid.” “A French ‘ussy!” said, Mrs. Rod- gers. “And if Mrs, Van Berg ‘ad ‘arf of the things that ‘ussy’s been ‘int- Ing—Not that it’s only foreigners that’s given to it, for that there Miss Bussell that’s housekeeper at the ‘Hall she's the worse of the two, a the dear knows how Mrs. Henry’ stood it, for I wouldn’ Caroline patted Mrs; Rodgers’ “What did the mald say?” nothing.

She’s as good as said it wasn’t no secret to her what name was tore out, and then went back on it” x “How could she know what name had been torn out?” “There isn’t much goes on in the house as she don’t know—picking, and prying, and ‘inting! ‘Orrid, I call it! Letting on she knows things, about Mrs, Van Berg too!” “What sort of things?” “She's a wicked ‘ussy,” said Mrs. Rodgers, “and I wouldn’t repeat what she says, if it weren't for a warning.

She held to the cross-bar of the stile and leaned against it, She wanted to get away from Mrs. Rod- gers before she said anything more. Jim wasn't in love with Sus: Berg—it couldn't be true that ‘was, or that he had quarrelled with Elmer Van Borg and shot him, and hidden away the emeralds to make it look like a burglary.
