MORE MYSTERY
"r)H " laid Caroline. "And he
hadn't any papers or anything
tt that sort!"
"Not a thingnothing at all, ex
cept the torn-off end of a letter."
"Oh, that'i jomethlngl" Caro
line's voice thrilled. "A bit of a let
ter? Oh please, what waa on It?"
"Nothing hut the signature," aald
(he day nurae.
"What? Your affectionate TJncle
Alfred, or Annt Maria, or Cousin
Jemima?"
The day nurae felt a little dis
turbed; she did not know why.
"No It was only the name."
"What name?"
"Juat Caroline.
Caroline put both hands to her
"His age, height, weight, color,
balr, eyes?" Caroline flung the
words at her like a handful of peb
bles. The day suree caught at the easi
est queetlon.
"Well, his hair was what you'd cal
betwixt and between nothing very
special, you know."
"And his eyeaT"
The nurse shook her bead.
"I never noticed them he'd most
ly got them shut."
Caroline picked np the rest of the
pebbles and threw them one by one.
She wanted to shake the nurae, h"t
she restrained herself.
"Age?"
"Oh, he wasn't old."
"About thirty?"
"He might have been."
"Height?"
"Oh, Just ordinary."
"Coloring?"
"Well, be was sunburnt we all
noticed that."
"Where has she taken him?"
"Marley," said the nurse. "Ifs
only about eight miles from here,
and If It will set your mind at rest
"Yes I must see him. I'll go
there. Thank you very much I'll
go." She turned, and turned back
again. "You haven't got that hit of
my letter, I suppose?"

Intangible wind. Sire felt giddy with
the rush of tt It slapped her face
and sang In her ears. She held on to
her bright brown curia and opened
her eyes aa far as they would go.
"Caroline?" she said In her very
deepest voice.
"That's all."
"It's quite enough. Mr dear thing,
It's more than enough because I
am Caroline."
"Oh I" aald the nurse. Then she
said, "Caroline" In an experimen
tal sort of way. Then she stopped
dead,
"Caroline Leigh," aald Caroline
with a warm rueh of words. "I told
the girl who let me In, but I expect
she forgot or perbapa she Just
didn't like the name lots of people
don't. But I am Caroline Leigh, and
I wrote to him and signed It Just like
that Just Caroline. And what do
you think of that?"
The nurse did not seem able to
think at all. She took refuge behind
Nesta Rlddell.
"Mrs. Riddeli aald he waa her hus
band." "Is her name Caroline?"
"I don't know. I did ask her If she
knew anyone by that name?"
"And what did she say?"
"She said she might."
CAROLINE stopped holding her
curls. The wind had blown past
.Mr and away. Her right hand took
er left hand and pinched It hard.
"She said It was her husband?"
"Yea."
"She ought to know. What was he
jllke? I ought to have asked that
(straight away oughn't I? What was
Ihe like?"
The day nurse looked vague. Her
mind didn't work as quickly aa that;
It did not In fact work quickly at all,
except on the accustomed lines of
routine.
Caroline's eyes sparkled and Im
plored. They were bright, as deep
'spring water Is bright bright, and
brown, and eager.
"Oh, what was he like? Aren't you
going to tell me?"
"Well" aald the nurse slowly,
"it's not so very easy to say, you
know."
"I am Caroline Leigh."
T
HIS waa going too far for the
nurse.
"I don't aee how It could be your
letter," she protested. "No we left
It In bis pocket Just where It was."
Caroline turned again. The signa
ture would have told her everything
at once. Now she'd got to wait and
wait and wait Eight miles, or eight
hundred, were all the same when
you wanted to know something at
once at once.
"Miss Leigh"
Of course she hadn't aald good
bye. How frightfully, unforgivably
rude. She flung round with an Im
pulsive hand out.
"Oh, please forgive me you've
been so kind!"
But tho nurse was taking some
thing out of her apron pocket,
"That's nothing. But It you're see
ing Mrs, Rlddell, perhaps you'll give
her this." She held out a flimsy fold
ed paper. "The nurse who let her In
thinks she must have dropped ft
when she opened hor bag. She's Just
given It to me, and though I don't
suppose It's Important, still tt you
are aeelng her" ...
"Yes, of course. What's the ad
dress?" "...
"She didn't say hut Marley's
quite a small place,"
"Good-bye, and thank you," said
Caroline.
The nurse had aald she waa busy,
yet she stood quietly In the door aa
Caroline got Into her little car,
turned and disappeared down the
drive aa quickly aa the conformation
there would permit.
The nurse waa thinking, and It
was difficult for her. There were,
evidently two Carolines, since Nesta
Rlddell had practically admitted to
knowing one. It was asking a good
deal of coincidence to bellove there
were two missing men as well, yet
Caroline was on the trail of a Jim
Randal, and Nesta Rlddell had
a Jimmy Rlddell In her care at the
moment.
Or oould It be a voice shrilled
behind her, and the nurse, suddenly
called back to earth, disappeared
with a sigh.
