OOMETHINQ bacaa to roar Is
Jim's ears. 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.
U MscDonsld's hunting party, who
bagged the bear near Burns laat week
M was learned yesterday, after the
bear story had passed around the
tows tram one member of the bunt

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. Kppsworl CaJ
