Ha felt hlmwrf slip- pint and (ell back against the pll- lowi. The room vent round. He heard the women'! voices at yon hear voice In the roar ot hear? traffic. They came and vent, and they meant nothing. Actually he had done no more than lean back and eloie hie eyes. Mln Wllllami said, "Oh, he'i tainted!" Nerta took her by the shoulders with a quick, "Run along and don't talk nonsense!" Attar that the door was shut. Keeta stood waiting with her back against It, and In a moment ha was looking at her. His eyes were of so dark a grey as to seem black. His brows frowned aboTe them, making the shadow deeper. He went on peaking as If there had been so In terruption. 'When were we married?" "On the twenty-fifth of Jul" "Of what year?" "This year?" "Thts Is 'what month 1" ' "August" What daur . "The thirteenth." "We were married heref "No In London." Bhe crossed the loom, opened a drawer, and came to him with a paper In her hand. "There's the certificate." A Tolce in bis mind said quickly, "She had It ready." It was like what stage directions call a yolce off. It didn't seem to hare anything to do with him, but ha remembered it Afterwards. At the time, he was looking at the certificate, which set forth that James Riddell had mar tied Nesta Williams at a registry office In Kensington on the 26th of July, 1931. Nesta put out her band to take the paper back. The hand shook, and all at once It came to blm that, whether he liked her or not, I was hard lines on her. He didn't like her, but It was damned hard lines. Her hand shook. There was enough to make it shake. He said In a constrained voice, "I don't know what to say I can't remember." THERE was no more talk that day. It was Mln who brought him his meals, and Mln was much too scared to talk. Bhe left the door wide open, pat down the tray, and was gone. He guessed she thought of a man who had forgotten his name and his wife as well over the border line of Insanity, Presently she would come back with a quick glance over her shoul der, pick up the tray, and hurry from the room. He could almost hear her breath ot rollot as the door awung to. Nesta never came near him. He lay In the darkened room and wreetled with the thing that had happened to him. presently the sheer blank horror passed. He wasn't mad. His head ached, but be could order and control his thoughts In a perfectly normal manner. He could repeat the multiplication table and the capitals of all the countries In Europe. He knew all the ordinary things which don't need thinking about but he didn't know anything at all about himself. The minute he be gan to think about himself the fog came up and choked his mind, and. with the tog, the horrible panic sense ot being lost In empty space. He forced thought back to the things he knew. He had had a knock on the head. His memory would come back all right It he would let It alone. That was It he'd got to let It alone keep him self quiet eat, sleep, say the multi plication table, conjugate French verbs, count sheep Jumping over a hedge. The sun went behind a cloud, the room darkened. Presently he did sleep, and, sleeping, heard again that voice which ha took to be bis own. Echoing It, he muttered and cried out Mln ran half way up the stairs Culy Identified As Bear Slayer O. M. Culy was the member ot O.

Z WE'RE Vn r and called to Nesta shut la her room. "Nesta! He's talking to blmseltr There was no answer. "Nesta! He does frighten me. He Just keeps right on. Can't you come downT" Nesta's door opened. Neeta stood there, harshly contemptuous. "What a baby you are!" "He v;. right on talking." "Well, you needn't take any no tice, need youT Oo Into the kitchen and shut the door!" With a frightened gasp Mln took In the fact that Nesta wss dressed tor the street "You're not going out!" "Why shouldn't I go outt" "I cant stay alone here." "Why, what d'you talnk hell do to yon?" "Oh, Nesta, please don't go." Nesta pushed past her. "Don't "e a tool, Mln!" she said, and ran downstairs. There were three rooms on the ground floor kitchen, parlor, and bedroom. The two latter were at the back. Nesta stood tor a moment at the toot of the stairs. The vague mutter ot a man's voice came along the passage. After a moment's hesi tation she walked to the bedroom door and stood there listening with the handle turned and the mutter loader. Every now and then there were words, "Green beads " said the mut tering voloe, "Finest in the world no one knows but m'e no one green like a kid's beads" Then, with a change of tone, 'They'll never' find them nobody'll ever And them unless I show them how Emily's dead." ESTA had pushed the door ajar. If she spoke to him, would be answer, or would he wake? Old Caroline BusisU nsed to aay that It you could put a sleeping person'! right hand Into a basis of cold water without waking them, they would answer you anything in the world yon liked to ask. People said she'd done it too, and that was why she bad such a hold over Mr. Entwhlstle she'd oertalnly got something more than a housekeeper's place at the halL "Isn't It awful?" aald Mln's voice at her elbow. Nesta shut the door and whirled round in a fury. "Get Into the kitchen and stay there!" she said, and banged oat ot tbe house. It was a little house in a atreet ot little houses on the outskirts of Ledllngton. She turned her back on tbe tows and walked In the opposite direction until the rows ot houses gave way to fields and hedges, with here and there a cottage or a farm stead. She was walking to walk the an ger out ot her. She didn't care where she went or how tar. She was walk ing to get away from the look in Jim's eyes when he heard she was his wife. It sbe couldn't walk away from the anger which was tearing her, she might Just as well throw In her hand. What did it matter how he looked at her as long as she got the emer alds? This was the cool, calculating Nesta who bossed her brother and meant to boss Jim Riddell. "I'm not poison, tor him to look at mo like that! Wbat'd ha do it I chucked him out to go on the parish?" This was a curious incalcu lable Nesta who had scan herself re fused. This Nesta's hot fancy played with the thought of taking Jim Rid dell twonty, thirty, forty miles Into the country and leaving him name less, pennlloss. Bhe could do It easily enough another sleeping draught Tom's car, a quick run out to the marshes or Wlnborough Common. "Wouldn't mind It be died either. It there was another tog" she pulled herself up with a Jerk. And throw away the emeralds? Not much! He knew where they were, and he'd got to say. She walked oo, her mind very busy. Mln had got to be kept away from him. Fortunately she was scared to deals. "She is a fool. But then Tom would marry a fool. Ha wanted a change after me some one to make him feel the real he man." She gave a laugh ot affection ate contwpt "Tom! Anyhow he'll do as I tell him, or he'll know the reason why." Bhe walked for an hour, and came home with he- ,)lana made. Tom was bark from 'he garage, and Mln m all smiles sgaln. They left Jim Ridden to himself and turned on the radio in the par lor. (Copyright, lul, J. Z.
