In the Ellton hospital he mumblct in hit tleep about tomething "like o kld't preen beadt," and reptatt the nam Jim my Ridden," or perhapt it it "Ran dal." Keeta Ridatll goet to the hot pital in reeponte to a query broad eatt by tht authoritiet, and it taken ta the man't bedtide. The nuree it called away by an accident; the man continuet to mumM, thit time about emtralde. Neeta, frightened, dcmandt permittion to remove the man, vjho it her hutband, the tayt, and telle her brother Tom, tcho it vaitino in a car euttide, what the hat done. Chapter Four DANGER AHEAD fpOM turned th color of a tallow candls, "Ths-r4hs emerald?" "He kept right on about them bow he'd hidden them, and no one else knew where they were. I tell yon he kept right on. I've got to get him away before anyone tumblee to what be'e talking about." . Tom leaned back agalnat the fide of the car and fixed an alarmed gaze npon his sister's face. His eyet were of the same shape and color aa Kesta's; he had the same atralght nose and short dark brows, the same line of cheek and chin. But the drlr- "IS3 LEIGH?" said the da) i'l nurse. "Oh yes," said Caroline Leigh In that warm, dark roles of hers. Someone once said that Caroline's voice waa like damask rosea. He was an Infatuated young man who wrote poetry. Caroline laughed at him kindly but firmly, and all her friends chaffed her about her crimson roloe. All the same there was something In It "We're up to our eyes," said the day nurse. But she did not say It aa firmly aa she might have done If Caroline had sot been gating at her with the sort of melting Intensity which very few people had been known to resist. "I know," said Caroline. "And I'm too sorry to bother you, but I've come about the message that was broadcast last night, because I think the man who waa picked np may be my cousin, Jim Randal. And oh, please may I see him?" The day nurse took the time to look at Miss Caroline Leigh. They were busy In the ward, but perhaps not quite so busy as she had said. The six bus cases were none of them desperately serious, and they had all been got to bed and bad their in juries dealt with. She could spare a moment to look at Miss Leigh, who was n very easy "HI wife took him away," said the nurse. Ing force waa lacking. He felt the teel teeth of the trap, and struggled Ineffectually. "Look here, Nesta " She mimicked him. "Look here. Tommy " " 'Tlsn't fair to go bringing me and Min Into this. You go of on your own and marry a man we've never so much aa set eyes on, and then all In a hurry you come along and tell me he's a orook, and before I know where I am you've dragged me Into this Van Berg affair, and there's a man shot and emeralds worth no one knows what missing and why should I be dragged Into It when all I ever did was to lend him my motor-bike? Why, all I saw of him was to hand It over In the dark." "Hold your tongue!" said Nesta sharply. "You won't come to any harm It you do what you're told. Now look here. Tommy, you're not to get rattled. It's not the first little Job we've done together Is It?" "I'm going straight now I'm mar ried I told you I was." She patted his arm. "So you shall. But we've got to got Jimmy away from here. Listen! He came to himself yesterday, and he didn't know a thing not hla name, nor who he la, nor anything. When be'a awake that's how he Is; but when he's asleep he talks all the time, and the sort of thing he talks about Is the sort ot thing that'll land you and me In jail. Now you've got It straight and now you know why I'm not leaving him here to talk. I want my share of those emer alds, and I bet you want yours. Yon can go straight afterwards sa much as yon like, bnt you've got to help me now." "Nesta." She gave hla arm a squoeze. "Buck up, boy! We'll pull It off. I'll get you safely back to Mln don't you worry. Now drive right In and remember w come from Marley, and all you've got to do Is to hold that wheel and keep your tongue between your teeth." person to look at shining eyos an4 pretty hair, and a way with her, She was sorry to have to disappoint the eager croature. She didn't look as It she was used to disappoint ment; she was more like a child that puta out Its hands and eipocti to have them filled with flowers 01 sweets. "Life Isn't like that well she'll soon find out," said the daj nurse to herself. "T'M sorry," she said aluud, "bui I'm afraid It wasn't your cousin who was here." "Was,?" Caroline waa the plcturt of dismay. "Has he gone?" "The name waa Rlddcll," said th nurse. "And his wife came and took him away." "Oh, hla wife?" "We let him go because shi seemed so keen on it., and there waa a bus smash we had to take In. Mrs. Rlddell's one ot those people who will have It their own way at least that's how she struck me. I'm sorry It wasn't your cousin." "Oh," said Caroline "so am I." "He was on the Alice Arden ?" "I don't know. Oh, I hope h wasn't!" "It you don't know, I should go on hoping," said the day nurse. Caroline looked at her with shin ing eyea. "Yea, I can can't It You see, I haven't seen him for a long time on, not since I was about fifteen and he'a been all over the world he's an engineer and he came horns In July, and I waa In Scotland. Then he wrote from London, and I wrote back and said why not come and Join ns. And he said he would. And he was going to come by coastal steamer because he liked the sea." "Then you don't know that h was on the Alice Arden?" "No. But I'm afraid, because hi hasn't written. You're sure It wasn't Jim?" The nurse nodded. (Copyright, JJJ, J. B. Ltpplnfott CO-!
