PA'GE EIGHT MEDFOItD MAIL TRIBUXE, MEDFORD, OREGON', SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1933. Outrageous Fortune .iYXOPSIlt A ieit Ut$ mum. Unta in nil sleep in ths Eltto hos pital. He was picked up on a eea side ledge after the wreck of the Alice Arden in a gale; nam he whispers of "Jimmy Jiiddell," and of something "preen like a kid's beads." Xesta niddell, having heard by radio of the man's plight, comes to the hospital to see whether he may be her mlJilKp husband. The day nurse tells Nesta vhat she knows of the man. Chapter Two THE MEETING THE day nuns wasn't going to be hurried. North country people take their own way and their own time. "Well, ho was found on a ledge on that cliff Just to the left ot the gap over there. That'i where the Alice Arden broke up. She wae driven In with the gale, and there the current got her and she smashed on the rocks. You must have read about It. It's a Tory bad bit ot coast because of the quicksands. "The lifeboat people picked up a few of the passengers, but this man wasn't found for getting on thirty six hours. The gale went down very suddenly, and then there was a fog, one of the worat fogs I've ever seen. Ton couldn't see your hand before your face on the cliffs, and it wasn't till It lifted that they found him. He Nesta touched the must have crawled up on the ledge and then lost consciousness. "Dr. Sutherland thinks he's had a knock on the bead. When he came round be didn't teem to know who be was or where he came from." "Thon I don't see" Tbe day nurse Just went on as If , there had not been any Interruption. "But when he la asleep he keeps muttering, and one of the. things he keeps saying is that name. The Jimmy Is plain enough. That Is to say. Matron says it is Jim and sho made out the message that was broadcast but when it came to the surname. Dr. Sutherland said It waa Randal, and I thought Rlddell but Matron said Reddell, so she put In all the three. Anyway his linen's marked J. R." MRS. R1DDELL was folding the piece of paper with the broad oast message on It. She stopped for a moment, pinching the edge ot the paper hard. Then all at once she asked what some women would have asked before, "Is he bad?" Tbe day nuras hesitated. "He's not 111," she said "It's Just that he doesn't remember anything." Nesta folded up the paper with the radio message on It. She folded It Quite small. Then she said, "He hadn't any letters or papers on him, I suppose?" "A note-case with soma money In It pound notos seven or eight, I think." "Nothing else?" The day nursa hesitated. Then after a moment she asked in her low voice. "Do you know anyone called Caro line?" "I might," said Nesta Riddoll. Why?" The name went round In her mind. The only Caroline she knew was old Caroline Bussell. Had she written? !Vhat had she written? "Why?" she said sharply. The nurse hesitated again. She didn't want to make trouble be tween husband and wife. Then she BIRTH TO 4-LB. BABY LONDON, Sept. 23. (AP) The ease of an Indian Rlrl giving birth o a baby before being seven years 6y HaViuiA WMUWCUi gar war before the pressure of Nesta's will. "Oh, It was nothing reallr fust the torn-off end of a letter with tht signature." "Caroline?" The day nurse nodded. "Nothing elser "No." Anything the other side?" "No. It was really only the smsl) est scrap." Nesta slipped the paper she was holding Into her red bag and snapped down the catch. "I'd like to see hlra," she said. As she walked beside tbe nurse along the left-hand passage, she was wondering about that marked linen. What would Jimmy be doing with his Initials on his shirt and pants? Why, the last thing on earth he'd want when he was out on a job would be anything like that and this had been the biggest Job yet. It his things were marked, It wasn't any ot ber marking; and that was certain. AU her muscles tightened up a little as they came Into a light airy room with a row ot windows down one side and a wide verandah at the far end. The ward was rather empty. Halt a dozen beds were out on the veran dah, and the sound ot cheerful con versation came back Into tbe empty space and echoed there. Between arm that hid his face. two of the wlndowa there was bed with a couple of screens about It. The day nurse pulled the nearer one back, aud Nesta Rlddell went past her and stood at the foot of tht bed. THERE was a man In the bed, and he was lying on his aide with one arm thrown up across his face. She could see the line ot his legs, the hump of bis shoulder, and the crook of the arm. Her heart began to beat very fast. "Is It your husband?" Nesta .Rlddell turned slowly round. The nurse was behind her, with a hand on the screen. And then all at once the rosy girl who had opened the door was there, full of hurry and Importance. "Oh, nurse Dr. Sutherland wants you on the 'phone, There's been an accident" Tbe day nurse was gone before the girl stopped speaking. Nesta Rlddell put up her hand and closod the soreens. They made a sort of red twilight about the bed. She went past tbe foot and stood above the sleeping man. His head was not bandaged. Sbe could aes rumpled brown hair, and a bit of brown fore head, and a bit of brown unshaven chin. Her heart went on beating very fast. She bent down and touohed the arm that was hiding the man's faoe, and at once he said, quits clearly and distinctly. "The finest emeralds in the world." Nesta draw back her hand with a Jerk. A look of terror passed over her face. To lie here in an open ward and talk about the emeralds! Ths man's voice lost Its distinctness and fell to a mutter, but she conld hear what ha was saying well enough: "Like a lot of green glass .... like a kid's green beads .... funny to think you'd kill a man tor a thing like that .... kid's beads .... green .... Jimmy Rlddell ..." (Copyright, 1US, J. B. LipvmcoH Co.) Nests GDmii t m auddn SmIbIoa. tomorrow. of age waa reported by ft Delhi doctor today In the "BrltUh Medical Jour nal" of London.
