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.)
