A lew momente after hie removal, Caroline Leigh arrivee at the hoi vital, hoping the man may he her cousin Jim Randal. Ae the le leaving, disappointed, the evetee mentions a ecrap of a letter, bear ing the eignature "Caroline", found in the man'e pocket. Caroline deter minee to oontinue her eeareh. Mean while the man hat awakened, and been told by Kesta he hot that Mr, Van Berg and ttolen the fa mous Van Berg emeralds. He re membere nothing. Caroline.beraues of a falee address given by Hesta tit the hospital, it euro something ts wrong. Chapter II' A NEW LEAD CAROLINE was Quit certain that Mrs. Rlddell was not only a Bnatcher, but a lying Snatcher, and that for some Irrelevant reason ot her own the had disappeared with Jim Randal. K It wasn't Jim, how did he happen to have a bit of my letter In bis pocket? ahe asked her- She eonld see the twirl with which he had written Caroline Quite an extra one because she was so thrilled about Jim. Why should any one but Jim Randal have the torn' off end ot a letter with Caroline on It? She ought to hay asked the day nurse whether It was Caroline with twirl, because that would hare ettled It not that tt needed set tling, because she felt quite, quite rare. On the strength ot which she jdrank another cup ot tea, and was lad that her name was Caroline, and not a name that Just anyone knight have. She had, of course, merer heard ot old Caroline Busaell who was housekeeper at Packham HalL And then she remembered the folded paper which the day nurse Md given her to take to Mrs. Rld dell. "The ward maid ploked it up. v7e think It must have dropped ont of her bag." That was what the day nurse had said. And Caroline had Just let It go right through her head and out the other side. She opened her bag tn a hurry, found the paper, and spread It out It was a bill one ot the flimsy blaok-llned sort that a girl scribbles on, In a carbon-papered book and then get the floor-walker to sign. Caroline tingled all over with ez- eltament as she looked at It. It was, In her vocabulary, "absolutely stuffed with meat." To start with, there was the name of the shop- Smithies, Ironmongers. And then there was the address 29 Market Street, Ledllngton. Lastly there waa the bill itself, for one purdonlum. "For the love of Mike what's a purdonlum?" said Caroline solemn ly, and then all at once remembered Sirs. Poekllngtons sale. Coalscuttles became purdonluma when they got Into an auction. They evidently started lite In Ironmongers' shops tinder the same olasslo alias. Anyhow Mrs. Rlddell had bought a purdonlum at a shop In Ledllng ton, and If you bought a coalscuttle In Ledllngton, the chances were that you lived somewhere near by and that you made thorn send It borne. Ot course you might take It away In a car but coalscuttles do bave tbe most revolting cornors, and what would be the sense ot scratching your car when Smithies might jiiet as well dollver the thing? She paid for her tea, went down six moss-grown steps to the car, and bored over a map. Ledllngton was a jgood fifty miles. She looked at her ;watch , . . getting on for six. It was E clear Impossibility to reach Mr. mlthles before his shutters went OP. TpHi3 village ot Hazelbury West Is like a rood many other English Tillages. There la a pond, and a fcreen, a big house with stone pillars 'crowned by pineapples and a long neglected drive, a church, a parson age, two or three houses ot the bet !ter sort, a butcher, a baker, a gen- leral shop which Is also the post- office, and a straggle ot oottages. Miss Arbuthnot, who' was Caro line Leigh's first cousin once re moved, lived In the last cottage on the left, Caroline lived there with ' her. Sometimes she wondered whether ehe waa Just going to go on living In Hatelbury West with Patey Ann for aver and ever. Mies Arbuthnot had been ehrls- tened Ann, bnt preferred to be ailed Patsy. She sketched a little, and gardened a little, and painted a little on eblna. She alao wrote. minor verse and belonged to a so ciety under the rules ot which all the members read one another's compositions. Caroline called it The Vicious Circle. ' It was halt past seven when Caro line ran her ear Into the shad whleb did duty as a garage and went sp the flagged path with the red stand ard rose-trees on either side ot It The cottage waa really two cot tages thrown together. The front door opened directly Into a sitting- room, ont ot the corner ot which a ! steep curly stair went np to the bedrooms. Caroline stood en the door-step said, "Golly!" All tbe furniture had been pushed back, and there was laid out upon tbe floor a short length of brightly flowered chlntx, a longer piece ot sage-green serge, and a remnant bl navy-blue crepe de chine with a pat tern ot greer. and yellow daisies. Some strangely shaped pieces ot newspaper were disposed like Is lands and peninsulas upon the serge, while, kneeling with her back to the door and holding a pair of cutting out scissors in a heeltatlna:. hover ing manner, was Miss Patsy Ar- ) buthnot. Patsy Ann what are you do ing?" said Caroline. Miss Arbuthnot sat back upon her heels and slewed around. She had very pretty dark hair, and M waa obvious that sbe had been running her Angers through It She wag about ten years older than Caro line, and she bad Just missed being as pretty as her own romantlo plo ture of herself. She had melting-dark eyes and enormously long lashes; sbe had arched eyebrows, a straight nose, . and a line If rather colorless skin; AS RELIEF NEARS PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 6. (AP) Had Albert Wurtenberger, 35. waited one day be would nave found all bis fears of the future bad dlsulptted. A world war veteran, he had fallen victim 01 paralysis. His compensa tion from the government had been cut off . because his disability could not be technically connected with hit service. Yesterday, while tils wife slept aft er constant attendance upon blm, Wurtenberger laboriously but silent ly guided bis wheelchair to the kitchen. He turned on the gss jeti. Death overtook him. Yesterday the special board of re view appointed by President Roose velt for Oregon considered Wurten berger's case. The unanimous ver dict was that tbe veteran be allowed 100 a month. A few hours after this action was taken members of the board learned of the death. IRE t still a delectable food and entirely safe If reasonable care U used In Its preparation, said In.

PAYNE she also had a tiny month, rabbity teeth, and a lisp. She wore a rather tired crimson smock stuck danger ously full of pins, and a yard-meas ure trailing round her neok like a scarf. Oh, I'a so glad yo"vs ootnef she said. "Did yoa think N been ab ducted?" "This wont soma out" Caroline cam nearer and sur veyed the mess. "What are yoa trying to do?" "It's those three remnants that I got There Isn't enough of any ot them, but I thought If I could cut out the chlnts flowers and applique them on to the serge" Carolina gurgled. "It'd look exactly like boiled greens served up with asters." "Do you think It would? And even then there wouldn't be enough, with these long skirts. And I don't see how I oan work in the crepe de chine whatever I do.". "V70U can't," said Caroline 'with great firmness. "And, darling, If we dont have some food soon, shall probably swoon. I've got a feel ing that I shall see those asters go ing round and round In about hall a minute. What are we having?" "Scrambled eggs." "Go and scramble them. I'll pal the muss away. You oan make a knitting-bag out of the chlnts, and a tablecloth for Mrs. Vlckers out ol the serge if you keep It here, Til leave home. I dare say I'll have an Idea about the orepe de chine some othor time. Now go and cook. I sim ply must wash." When Caroline cams down again she had taken oft her hat She laid tho table, and presently Miss Ar buthnot came In with a flushed face and a smoking dish of eggs. As she put It down, she shot a hesitating questioning glance at Caroline "It wasn't Jim?" "I don't know?" "You dont know?" "He's gone to Ledllngton. I'm go ing there tomorrow. Re's lost hli memory. I don't awfully want to talk about It Patsy Ann. Patsy looked a little offended. She loved Caroline dearly, but she thought her odd. It was odd of Caro line to be so reserved about Jim Randal. Patsy could have talked about him all day. It was so hard to have to live one's emotional Ufa without anyone to confide In. ft Uncle James bad died six months earlier, It might have made all the difference. Jim wouldn't have quar relled with his uncle and gone abroad. As It was, every time ehs went through tbe village there wert the stone pillars at the entrance to Hal Palace a little more covered with green mould, and tbe drive a little more neglected.
