PAGE FOUR Outrageous Fortune Vy Chapter 43 CAROLINE’S STORY B® nine o'clock twilight was merging into darkness. Jim frowned in the dusk. This dazzle of fheadlights, with its succeeding darkness, was going to make it most frightfully difficult to epot Nesta. He turned at the end of his beat and walked in the Ledlington di- jrection, and as he did so, a small car came slowly up behind him. In ® flash Caroline was out of the car ‘and holding on to him. “Oh, Jim darling!” she said, and was in his arms. She put up her face, and he kissed ther.. They had always kissed one another, but this was a different jkiss. They were both trembling. “Jim,” said Caroline. “Ob, Jim darling, do let me help! You see, if you get into the car, we can stand in a good dark place between the lamp-posts in Sandringham Drive and watch the house. You'll miss her if you stay here. It’s all quite simple and if you won't do it with shall just go off and do it by For. moment his grasp tight- ‘Jened. Then he took his hands away and said, “All right—we'd better hurry.” Caroline was still shaking as she started the car. She dimmed the headlights and crawled round the corner into Sandringham Drive. “I feel like a toy balloon —all floaty! Oh, Jim—isn’t it fun?” Jim took her by the shoulder and shook-her. “Now look here, Caroline—this is & job. You're not to talk nonsense, and you're not to snuggle, and you're not to say ‘Jim darling.’” Caroline sat as far away from him as she could, IM went on speaking. “Now I'll tell you what I'm doing here. You'd better be prepared for a bit of a shock. The emeralds were at Hale Place, in the Blue Room. What I want to know is— did you ever tell anyone—anyone, Caroline clung to him. lime clung to iim. After a mo- he got hold of himself. He said, “You mustn't!” itried to putheraway, = + She pressed closer, *-}im—do you love me—really ?” “Ihaven’t got any right to.” , A little shaky laugh came from just under his chin, Her it rubbed against his cheek. \ “EP never asked you that.” An arm pd oa his neck. “Jim—say you “My darling, I love you with all wrue and.soul. .,.1 mustn't.” 4 “Silly!” said Caroline. She stood tiptoe, dragged his head down, coer him shamelessly. “Jim— and She was lifted, held so close that ighe could not breathe, and most pas- 1a kissed. Then with her thumping and her head spin- she was set down at arm's and held there. “Now you've got to go home,” said in an odd hard voice, “No, mind—about the hiding place behind the shield?” “No, I didn’t,” said Caroline, “Then I must have put the 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, Jim, listen—because I've seen Susie 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 Anished, Jim said quietly, “Phat 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 frightful storm was right overhead. I blundered into someone's room. There was a screen in front of the door, so they didn’t see me.” nO use—you've got to go. It<Ipwho ‘out of this, we'll get married, until I do you've got to. stand].

I'm here on a job, and you mustn't hinder mo, I haven't time ‘to toll you about it. I'm waiting to Bee if Nesta comes out. If she does, Tye got to follow her, I think she’s ®oing to meet the man who's got fhe emeralds.” “Oh!” said Caroline, This was a (different “Oh”—a breath of pure ‘surprize. “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 bicycle r=what will you do then?” “She hasn't got one.” “Isn't there one in the house?” “Only Tom's motorbike.” “Suppose she takes that.” “Thon I shall be dished. But it's mot likely.” P& “They were doing a‘sort of magic ith'@ bowl of ink, like crystal gaz- ing. The Bussell woman is rather frightening. She picked up the bow! of ink, and put it on her lap and looked 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,” { said 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 bow! and all the ink upset. I ran 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.
