Ha haw been talking in hie sleep of emeralds and murder. Shortly after hie removal from ths hospital. Carolina Lelat. tails therat thinking he may be her dietant cnuln,Jim Randal She it leaving, dieajypointed, when the nuree re ealle a ecrap of a letter in the man'e pocket, with the signature "Caroline." So Caroline continue her apparently hopeleee search. Meanwhile the man teakent, and is told by Keeta that hs has stole ths famous Van Berg emerald al thounh hs remember nothtno back of hie awakening. Sow Neeta de scribe their meeting and the be ginning 0 ths Van Berg "Job." Chapter 11 "YOU SHOT VAN BERG" (SJESTA laughed. "Well, that'i where I came In. Ton tried pretty hard to make me believe you were era 17 about me, but you needn't Imagine I waa such a fool as to believe you. You were crazy about the emeralds, and you needn't have troubled to make love to me, becaus I'd taken the length of your foot In the first five min utes." "But you married me." "Did yon think I was going to trust youT I married you because I meant to :et my share." "And why did 1 marry you ?" said Jim Rlddell pleasantly. Nesta colored high. "For what you could gel uui of me," she said. "You wanted my help, and you thought It waa safer." "It's very Interesting," said Jim, ' "Won't you go on?' "Interesting!" She struck her clg- arette against the arm of the chair and sent the ash flying. "Very. Do you mind telling me bow you helped?" "I was staying with old Caroline BuuelL I've known her all my lite she's some sort of twenty-eighth eousln. She's been housekeeper at the Hall since the year one, and she does what she likes with Mr. Ent- whlstle. When you spoke to me that day In the drive ' . "Yes?" "I was going to go next day, be cause the van Bergs ware coming, I will say you had a nerve." "What did I do?" 8he stared at blm resentfully. "Why you got me to work It ao that I stayed on. It was quite easy for old Caroline. She said I waa ber cousin and the Van Bergs didn't care. And then" "And then?" She reached out for another cig arette, struck a match, and looked at htm over the ll'tle yellow flame. "Are you trying to make me be lieve I'm telling you something you oon't Know? ' . "I can't make you believe any thing," said Jim. She threw the matcb Into the grate Just short of tbe spangled havings. "Oh, have It your own way I Do you want ma to tell you how you pinched the emeralds?" He had himself well In hand. He said coolly: "I stole thom?" Nesta laughed. "You make me tired, Jimmy Rid doll 1 You stole them?" She tried to mlmlo bis voice. "Do you think you can act tbe Innocent with me like that after the way I've heard you talk In your sleop? Why, you've nev er stopped talking, and It 1 hadn't got you out of that hospital In dou ble quick time, we should all have been Inside." She laughed again at hi blank look and flung out: "Jug quod sllrl Haven't ever done time, 1 eupposeT Well you will over this If you don't cure yourself of talking at night" HE LEANED forward with his el bow on bis knee and bis chin In bis band. "You say 1 took these emeralds r "I say you did and I'll say It was a pretty nippy bit of work. Pity you (hot him, though." He jerked away from the word. "What are you saying?" "You shouldn't have carried a gun," aald Nesta maliciously. "I said ao all along." He got up. His aplne had gone cold. He felt the sweat break out upon his temples, "What's that you're saying?" Nesta got up, too. "I'm saying that you shot Mr. Van Berg." He went over to the mantelpiece, leaning on It with his two hands, bis head bent between them, his eyes staring blankly at tbe spangled havings In the grate. What nightmare was this? He had broken Into a house, stolen proper ty, shot a man tor a handful of green OLD N. P. WAREHOUSE BREAKS UNDER LOAD PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 4. (AP) Bom-ed by the wvlsht of a heavy ton nage of sacked nrain stored within Its old mailt, tlw Northern Pacific Jl NOW ITS uppa TO YOU fof KoVuua WttOrtJah stones . . . eight square green stones chained two by two wltb pearls swinging from a man's hand. Whose hand? Van Berg's hand? - He could see It under the light. It waa as plain aa anything he bad seen In all bis life a powerful hand, wltb spatulate fingers and an old healed scar running from the lower knuckle of the first finger to the root of the thumb. He didn't see Mln's carefully pol ished grate with the dazzle of shav ings and the small bright blue tiles; he saw Van Berg's hand with the scar on It, and he knew how the scar bad come there. Out of all the things that he bad forgotten be re membered this one that Van Berg had got that scar playing with a pet monkey. , No, It wasn't a bite. The monkey bad got tooling with a razor. It was a clean cut. He had forgotten every thing In the world, but he hadn't for gotten Van Berg's monkey. His head swam for a moment. Then he atralghtened up and bait turned, still leaning on tbe mantel piece. He caught a curious look on Nesta's face, a watching look, but It went past blm, "Is Van Borg dead?" be said. "Not yet," said Nesta. "Ia he bad?" She ahrugged ber shoulders. "If be doesn't die fora year and a day, they can't hang you." . His voice came at ber with an an gry leap. "Is be bad?" "So so." And then : "It's not your fault he's not dead. You let him have It all right." He went over to the window and threw it up. He had to push past the pink geraniums; one of the bright blooms snapped off. The room had suddenly seemed crowdod with used air. Outside, a light wet wind blew veerlngly. There was rain In the wind, but it would not fall yet awbUe. It struck damp and cool against bla face, and he was glad of it. Nesta's voice came from elose be hind blm. "Where did you put the emeralds, Jimmy?" He turned blindly, pushed past her, and went blundering through the door and out Into the street, CAROLINE drove to Marley, which, as the day nurse had told her, was only eight miles from El ston. She found a charming little vil lage with stone walla and thatched roofs. The thatched roofs were doubt less a refuge for earwigs, but though Marley contained some six hundred Inhabitants, with the usual allowance of cows, cats, pigs, bens and children, It did not, so far as Caroline could ascertain, conceal Mr. and Mrs. James Rlddell. At first this made Caroline angry. A very bright color bloomed In her cheeks, and she thought of several things which she would have liked to say to Mrs. Rlddell. Later on, while ahe was having tea In the prettiest of the cottage gardens, she had a brain-wave. There were ear wigs In the thatch. She had Just fluhed the third out of her tea, when the brain waved and ahe wanted to know why Mrs. Rlddell had said she was coming to Marley when she wasn't coming to Marley. Caroline had, of course, taken the greatest possible dislike to what he described as that snatching wo man. But even people whom you dis like very much don't aa a rule tell entirely purposeless lies; so why bad the Snatcher said she was com ing to Marley? Carolina drank some of her tea hastily, because ahe was very thirsty and she wanted to get In be fore the next earwig. She had a feel ing that there were going to be more earwigs, and sure enough when she put down her cup there waa one In the saucer. She thought very seri ously about Mrs. James Rlddell. And the more she thought, tbe less he could think of any reason why she should have told that lie un less The "unless" waa so exciting that Caroline felt quite dazzled by It. Why does anyone give a false ad dress? Because they don't want to give a real one and they only don't want to giro a real one because they've something they're ashamed of or something they've got to hide. Mrs. Rtddell had come and fetched Jim away from the Elston cottage hos pital. She had said that be was Jim Rld dell, and she hsd said that ahe was going to Marley. Woll, she hadnt told the truth about going to Mar ley, so why should she have told the truth about Jim being Jim Rld dell? (Copyright. 1JJ, . B.
