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;

Death overtook him.
Yesterday the special board of re

berger's case. The unanimous ver
dict was that tbe veteran be allowed

this action was taken members of

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. And Caroline
wouldn't talk about any ot tt
