Outrageous Fortune SYNOPSIS: Jim Randat deter- mines to remain in hiding at his Sere tat eke oe fo rega' memory of tl iast siz weeks, and untangle the aituation in which he finds himself. He may for all he can prove, be Doth the thief wha took the Yan Berg emeralis and the husband o} @ woman he detests, Nesta Moreover, from whet Caroling Leigh tells him, clues found by the police at the Van Berg house seem bear out Nesta’s story. Chapter 33 THE LETTER OLINE interrupted Jim with a frightened, “Stay here?” “Why not? You said Mrs. Ledger only. came once a week. If she was here yesterday, that gives me five clear days, If 1 can't remember things by then, I shall send for Robert and put myself in-his hands.” He stopped in the middie of the floor. “And now you must go.” Caroline got up. “Have you got enough blankets? Are they aired?” He laughed—a real laugh this time. “Who do think’s been airing my bedclothes for the last seven ” “it don’t know,” said Caroline. “And you needn't laugh—it’s nice of me to want you to have dry blan- kets. Don't you think so?” you see what a nice supper I've ‘ought you. I bought the things in wn. Good-night!” : She kissed him as if it were seven “I shouldn't try," sald Caroline, “That's Robert's sort of letter. You The first big Hallowe'en fete of the season will take place at “Caroline—if it’s him—what shal) Isay?” Then ag Caroline, laughing and shaking her head, was about to run out of the room, there was a change in voice and manner. A puzzled look came over Patsy's face; her color receded, and her voice took on a tone of disappointment. “Oh ... Yes, she’s here. Who shall which was fastened to the wall at the foot of the stair. “Caroline — someone wants you. She won't give any name.” Caroline took the receiver with some impatience. It was so stupid of ‘people not to give their names. If you were cut off, you never knew ‘who had been calling you. She sim- ply hated that, There came to her along the wire an almost inaudible voice, “Is that Caroline Leigh?” “Who is speaking?” “Is that Caroline Leigh?” “Yes. Who is speaking?” “Will you come and see me? I want to see you very badly.” “But who ere you? I didn’t hear—" “I didn’t say. I want to see you— about—Jim.” ‘There was a faint des- Derate catch in the voice before the name came out. 'T took Caroline a monient to get her own voice steady. “Are you—no, you're not—Nesta.” “Who is Nesta? No, never mind, I'm Susie, You know now, don’t you? Will you come and see me?” Caroline’s heart leapt. Susie Van Berg wanted to see her. Why? Of all things in the world, she wanted most to see Susie Van Berg. She wanted it so much that she was afraid to say yes. Could she go— might she go? Was there any pos- sible hurt to Jim in her going? She couldn’t see any. Susie Van Berg spoke again, a little louder, a little more insist- ently. “Are you there? Will you come?” “Yes,” sald Caroline, and had the ‘feeling, like Robert, that she was taking an irrevocable step. * *How: will yon come?” said Susie Van Berg. “I would send the car— but then the servants would talk—” “They'll do that anyhow,” said Caroline with the ghost of a laugh. |“But you needn’t bother—I’ve got iy own little car. When shall I come?” . The voice said, “At once.” _Caroline’s thoughts moved rapid- ly. She sald, ‘ ~. “Not tf you don’t want to make talk; It isn’t as if I knew you. very weil, It would be better if I came in “What time?” The voice fluttered. “Between five and six,” said Caro- Mine. “Will-that do?” . The voice said, “Yes.” The click ‘of the receiver put a full stop to the ‘word. Susie Van Berg turned from the telephone, clutching with both ‘hands. at the pale blue satin wrap she was wearing. She had locked both doors before she rang up Caro- lime Leigh—the bedroom door, and the door of the big dressing-room which she had turned into a sitting- toom for herself. The communicating door stood open between the two rooms. The telephone was i: the sitting-room. She had hung up the receiver be- cause she had heard someone try the handle of the bedroom door. She stood for a moment, listening in a strained position, the light of the grey rainy morning falling cold upon her pallor. She had the type of looks which needs the sun, Her hair was 80 pale as to be almost sil- ver, her eyes a forget-me-not blue, her skin as white as privet, with no more than a faint rose to tinge the cheeks, and deepen to the color of pink hawthorn in the lips. She stood there listening, and heard the handle tried again. In an instant she had stepped out of her slippers and, picking them up, crossed the floor and gone through the communicating door, moving without a sound. The bedroom blinds ‘were down, and the curtains drawn. ‘The only light came from the sit- ting room. Susie Van Berg slipped into the turned-down bed and, leaning over the edge, set her slippers down be- meath it. Then, pulling the clothes | about her, she reached out her hand and rang the bell, i (Copyright, 1933, J. B.
