Wk Outrageous Fortune BYSOPSIS: In the Klalm hoi pitul a man liee mumbling in hie Bleep of eomelhlng "tiki a kid'e green beade," and of tomeont named 'Vlmmtf Hidden" or per hap$ it't "Randal" An inquiry hat been broadcast, and in reeponee Neeta Riddell eomee to the hoepital to tee whether the man, who ie a eurvivor of a ehip broken up in a gale, can be her hueband Jimmy. Juet ae the nuree takee her to the eleeping man, the nuree ie called dtcay about an accident. The man again mumblee, thle time eavimg aomelftinp about killing a man ana "bout cmeralde.Neeta ie frightened. Chapter Thro THE DECISION XTESTA took bold of hla arm and dragged It down. The man'a face vaa Brown and . haggard against the coaree white pillow. A two-daya' itubble made him uncouth. Kla ejree were half open. He seemed between sleeping and waking. "Jimmy Riddell V aaM Nesta harshly. Hla eye opened dark grey eyea with black laehea. He gave her back the name like an echoi "Jimmy Riddell." Nesta shook him. "Yea Jimmy RlddeUT" "I don't know ... no one knowa. , . nobody knows but me . . and they're away. If It hadn't been for thli bus business, I wouldn't bare got him. Even as It la, tbey wouldn't have let blm come It they'd known It was the best part of sixty miles, so I'ts told them we're come from Marley." "Marley?" aald Tom. "Why Mar ley t" "Because I remembered the name, and It's only about eight miles from here and don't start asking Ques tions or I shall scream." She stepped back from the car, but kept ber hand upon It Tom Wil liams looked at her curiously. The flush which had covered her face had now drawn together Into a brilliant patch high up on either cheek, leaving the rest of the skin white and wet. "What Is it?" he said. "What's the matter?" THAT something was the matter was very certain. Nesta didn't look like that for nothing. Not for the first time, he felt as If her af fairs were a sort of trap In which he was caught and from which he had no hope of ever getting free. If It wasn't for Nesta's affairs, be and Mln might be as happy as the day was long. Yet for the life of him he couldn't keep out of Nesta's af fairs. What had been happening to make her look like that? He felt a "He's talking about the Van Berg affair." the finest emeralds In the world . . . . the Van Berg emeralds . . and no body knows where they are but me." His eyes began to close again. He pulled his arm away and flung It up across his face. She heard him mutter: "Green . , , like a kid's beads , . . . Jimmy Riddell . . . ." She straightened herself and atood looking down at him the long legs, the rough brown hair, the sun burn, the arm thrown up to shield bis eyes. Her face worked for a minute, then musole by muscle It hardened. When she turned at the sound of hurrying steps, those short dark brows of hera made one tralgbt line and her lips another. The day nurse had her queatlon on her lips. "Well? Is It your husband r . Nesta Riddell nodded. It aeemed as If her lips were act too close to speak. "'-pOM!" Tom Williams had been star lng Idly at that blue handsbreadth of sea and thinking that It was just the day for a dip. He hadn't had a proper swim this year, what with the weather and Nesta'a affairs. That bit of blue water was Just about right. , "Tom!" He turped with a start Noata bad the door of the car open. She was very much flushed, and her eyes were bright and hard. "We're taking him back with us," he aald, . "Then It's Jimmy?" Nesta frowned and wont on speak ing In hurried, Jerky voice. "Of course It's Jimmy. We're tak ing him back with as, and you'll have to drive right In, because he's pretty dicky. They wouldn't let me take him away, only there's been a bus smaob at the cross-roads and the doctor'! Just rung up to any they've got to take In six whether they've got room for them or not." "What's the matter with him?" said Tom Williams. "Crack on the head. Now look here. Tom I've had to fight to get horrid pang of apprehoiwlun, and his voice shook. "Nesta what's the matter?" Nesta Rlddell's hand tightened on the side of the car. Just for a moment she had felt as If she were going to faint "And a nice thing that would be!" she said to herself furiously. "Nesta " Bhe straightened up, leaning on the car, and said In a voice that was as low as a whisper but much harder. "He s talking about the Van Berg affair." Tom Williams felt as If someone had hit him in the face with a wet towel. His Jaw dropped, and hla eyes bolted. "What?" he stammered. Nesta's color became the normal color of an angry woman. "Be quiet, you fool!" "The Van Berg" "Will you be quiet!" "But why?" said Tom Williams. "I mean why I moan " Nesta Jumped Into the car, aat down, and held him by the arm. "Because he'a out of his head. Now shut your mouth and listen to me, because I'm not going to say It twlcel 1 went In, and I'd hardly got in when the nurse waa called to the telephone about this bus affair I "She left me alone with him, and there he was, muttering to hlmsoll like she said he'd been doing all along. All they'd been able to make out was 'Jimmy Riddell' and we may thank the Lord for that He kept on saying It, but whilst I was there he said a pack of other things too and my lord, what things!" Tom shitted away from her, mov ing round so that be could see her face. A chill of foreboding ran up his spine. "What sort of things" be said un easily. Nesta slipped her arm through his and brought her mouth close to his ear. "He was talking about the emer alds." (Copyright, It), , B. LIpplncoH Co.)
