. 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
