TRAILING NESTA Jim Randal vent into the library, but he did not stay there long. He did not even ask for the file which be had oome there to look at. The past and what had happened in the past was nothing like so import ant as the present and what was likely to happen In the Immediate future. He sat down on one of the stiff upright chairs, shut his eyes, and went over what Min had told him. Nesta had come down in the small hours at the summons of a handful of gravel thrown up against her window. She had been away for something over an hour, had come back, and then Immediately gone out again as far as the gate, bring ing with her something, presum ably money. Min had then heard her say It's all I've got," and something about keeping money In the house; after which the man said a lot of things she didn't hear, and one that she did. She heard him say, "Don't be late." Mi CHRISTOPHER'S STRANGE MANNER By Mary Graliam Bonner Willy Nilly carried the $2.15 and Top Notch led the way to an old tree at the edge of the woods. Rip followed along. They wrapped f ne money in a EfL KtL lcce of moss, nit It in the hole . In the tree, and then Top Notch tore off a piece of the bark. "You see," he proudly crowed, "if I hadn't thot of doing that we might forget the tree." When they got hnrlr in Wlllv -w Nllly's they called oi. . .) Christopher, but no answer cainti from him. "He's probably still asleep' said Rip. "I do hope Christopher didn't pre tend to be asleep when he wasn't," laid Top Notch doubtfully. "He might have been listening jhen we were talking about hiding the money and then might have flown quietly after us to see where we put it," "You mustn't be so ready to think evil of others, Top Notch," said Wil ly Nilly. "Christopher knew we had the $2.15 in the old cup. If he want ed to take it he could have done so before now." "Oh, Christopher is a good, loyal friend, but he does like to play his pranks, and he might think It was very clever to discover our hiding place and then put the money some , where else." After quite awhile they looked up and saw Christopher flying above them, He came down to the ground and said: 'T did not feci like sleep ing; so went out for a little air." But there was something very, i very strange . about Christopher's manner. Tomorrow "The Missing Money" What he made of it was this Nesta had given the fellow an the money she'd got In the house, and was under an agreement to meet him next day with more, if he was right, Nesta would be drawing money out of the bank some time during the day. Some time after that ahe would meet the xeiiow. Ana when that meeting took place, it would be greatly to his own ad vantage If he could contrive to make an unobstntsive third. He had to keep an eye on Nesta Rlddell's movements. Meanwhile he was going to risk a telephone call to Caroline. From now on sne naa got to keep right out of the busi ness. She had got to be told that, and that he had left Hale Place. He crossed over to the north side of the square, went into the post office, and rang up Hastelbury West. When Caroline's voice came to htm after that long strange pause. his heart jumped. He said what he had come there to say, and heard Caroline say "Wait." She said it twice. What was the matter? Was it because he had said good-bye that her voice was stiff and dead? He said, "I mustn't wait. Don't worry. He was a fool to have said that, because the thought of Caroline worrying filled him with an insen sate desire to go to her. "Where are you ringing up crom? He told her. He said, "I can't stop." His hand made a movement to re place the receiver, when quick and warm there came to his ear a rasn of quite unintelligible words. He wasn't to forget that he was coming to Jenny Ross treasure hunt. They wouldn't begin while It was light "so we'd better meet about nine." He heard her laugh and say, "I can't stop either I've got a visitor. I'll be at the end of Nesta's road I cant remember its name at nine o'clock. Will that bo all right?" He left the nost office, reached the HiEh Street by way of Market Street, and walked out to Ledling- ton End. It was all very well to say that he had got to keep an eye on Nesta Riddell, but how was it going to tte done? Sandrlngham Drive offered about as much cover as a parade ground. There was the Kosy Kor ner Kafe at the near end of the drive. But the bother was that the beastly road had two ends. If he waited for Nesta at one end, she'd be bound to go out by the other. It all depended where she was go ing to meet the fellow. If it was' in Ledlington, she would pass the Kosy Korner Kafe. but if It was some where out in the country, she would come out on the main road at the lower end of Sandrlngham Drive. Ho nassed the War Memorial, and presently the Kosy Korner Kafe. If there was a point on the main road from which he could see both ends of Sandrlngham Drive, thinks were going to be a little easier. The arive wasn t very ion, so ne naa nopes. Another minute more and the hopes were justlfld. For a dis tance of five or six yards it was possible to see both turnings. These five or six yards covered the lower gate and part of the shrubbery of one of those la rue out-of-late houses which have been abandoned before the encroaching tide of bungalows and villas. The drive was green with moss, the garden a mere tangle. Be tween it and the road ran a low brick wall topped by an undipped hedge. The whole place had a deso late, unvlsltcd looK. Jim mishcd onen the irate with some difficulty and walked in. Noth ing could have suited mm oeiwr. There were half a dozen places where laurels, laurusttnus, lilac and yew crowded up to the unKcmpt hedge, and where he could stand and see without Deing seen. He had not to wait very long. In about half an hour Nesta Riddell walked briskly past the Kosy Kor ner and proceeded in the Ledlington direction. He had only to keep one ACROSS 1. Pretense 6 Cold difih 10.

Jim went into a tobacco shop on the other side of the High Street. bought a paper, and unfolding it, kept a watch upon the door of the bank. After about five minutes Nesta came out. She stood for an in stant' on the pavement, and then gave htm the fright of his life by crossing the road. A newspaper held wide open makes a good screen. There was a moment's suspense, and then he saw from under the lower edg of his paper six Inches of bright blue skirt and eight or nine inches of rather likht stocking ending in flimsy lnl- tatlon leather shoe go up the--two worn steps or the bake shop next door. He was so near that he could hear her rather strident voice ask- isg for milk chocolate. He moved rartner down the street. and presently she came out and walked back along the way by which she had come, and at the same brisk pace he watched Nesta disap pear round the curve of Sandring- ham Drive and went back to his shrubbery.
