Why do ' yon look Ilka that, at It 70a did n't know met" Ha laid In a heavy, shaken voice, "I don't know yon." The hands let go of his arm; she atemed back. He bad a sense of 'amptlnees and loss. And then she was laughing such pretty laugh, low, and full of some thing that was very young and Inno cent , "But I'm Caroline! Darling didn't you guess? I don't call that a bit bright of yon. Wbo din vnu think II was?" He shook his head. "1 don't know . . . Carolina?-' Caroline stopped laughing, be cause something In the slow tenta tive war In which ha said, "Caro- illne?" made her stop. "Jim what's the matter? Jim darling!" After a moment he said, "Why do you call me that?" And all at once Caroline began to feel cold. The dream was changing In the way dreams do. One mlnnte he bad found Jim and her heart wa singing with joy, and the next there was a vagus something that was cold and frightening. She didn't know what tt was, and that made it worse. She said, "What do yon moan, Jim?" and he caught her up In a loud harsh voice. "Why do yon call me Jim? Jim what?" Caroline said, "Oh!" and backed way. "Jim what's the matter?" "Jim what?" "Aren't you well?" That was Just whisper. He controlled his voice. "Tell me why you called me Jim." "Because It's your name. Don't rou know?" "No." "Jim darling, don't you know that you're Jim Randal?" He went past her In a blundering sort of way right past her and as tar as the atone stops which led up to the heavy door. He sat down on the socond step and leaned over his knees with both bands covering his face. It was Just aa if a dam had broken. All those things which had been battering against his con sciousness came flooding In through the breach. He was giddy and buff eted. He sat there, 'and knew that be was Jim Randal, and that this was Hale Place where he had grown up. This was Hale Place, and ha was Jim Randal. But of course he was Jim Randal. Who was Jim Rlddell? "You're Jim Rlddell, and I'm your wife." Who had said that? Nesta Nesta Hidden. "I'm Nesta" "I'm Caro line." Nesta Carolina Jim . , . Jim Rlddell Jim Randal. HE lifted bis head like a man com ing up out of deep water. "I'm Jim Randal, and this is Hale Place." Caroline was sitting on the step beside him. Her hand came out and touched his. "Didn't yon know?" "No." "Oh, Jim I But you know now." "Yes." He gave her hand a queese. "It's awfully odd" Ha topped, laughed a little uncertainly, ad let go of her. "Odd? It makes my head go round 1" Carolina did not speak. She didn't really want to apeak. Sbe wanted to It quite still and let the knowledge that Jim wasn't drowned soak right down Into her. It waa Ilka silver wa ter coming In with waves of Joy. It was like a tide of light and happi ness. She didn't feel dUty like Jim; sbe felt safely, blessedly secure and fixed. Everything was right again. and Jim was here; If she put out hor hand, sho could touch him. But she didn't really want to put It out. Just for the moment she bad all the happiness that ehe could hold. On drop more, and It might brim E ON GOTHAM STAGE KWW YORK, Oct. Id.

Whou i t . . up, she leaned her shoulder against the atone baluster which flanked the steps and watched him with shining eyes. He walked to the edge or. the grass and, turning, looked again at the bouse. That was Just how she had seen him from her window. How long ago? Halt an bour? It waa very strange to think that the world could change and be quite a different world to you In halt an bour. Jim stood and looked at the bouse. He looked at It for a long time. Then be walked to the edge of the gravel sweep and back again. Ha did this several times, and Just at the end a little whispering dread stirred In Caroline's mind. She pulled herself up by the balu strade and stood on the step above him. He said, "Caroline, I'm In a mess." So that was why aha had begun to be afraid. She said, "What sort of a mess, Jim?" "I don't know that It's fair to tell you In fact It's not. I'm confused still, but I do know that. You oughtn't even to be here." "How dreadful!" said Caroline. "Where else ought I to bet" "In bed and you'd better be get ting along, my dear. I don't know how yon came here at all." "Oh, I followed you. All romantic, darling It really was. I looked out of my window, and you lifted up the latch and come .nta the garden and stood looking up. Aad I knew you at onco, so 1 followed you. And If you think, after that, I'm going back to bed without hearing all about everything, well, yon've Just got to think again, dai lnc and quite dif ferently." I TpHIS was a Caroline he knew a sweet. Imperious, gently obstin ate Caroline, with a laugh In her voice and a coaxing hand on his arm. Since she could apeak at all he bad been "Jim darling." He said heavily, "All the same, you'd better go." "As it I would! Jim tell me what's the matter?" "Go home, Caroline!" "You're home." He pulled away from her roughly. "Don't talk nonsense!" Then, on a changed note, "Caroline go!" The laugh went out of ber voice as ehe said, "You know I won't go. You know I won't" "I know you ought to." "Wa ought to do lots of things that wa don't do. And this Is one of the things that I'm not going to do." She came down from the steps and slid a hand through his arm. Her voice dropped on to a deep lov ing note. "It's no use, darling you've got to tell me. Better get It over. You can't make me go." "I ought to be able to make you." "Come and sit down," aald Caro line seriously. "Now, Jim what have you been doing, and why did you let me think you had been drowned?" Her voice went down In to despairing depths.. "Did you?" "Yes in the Alice Arden. And there was an S.O.S. about a man in hospital at Elnton who had lost bis memory, and I went to see It tt was you, and they said Jim, they said that he had Just been fotched away by his wife. That wasn't you?" "Yes." "How could it be you?" "It was." "How could It be?" ' Jim was eilent. He did not know of any answer to her question. She went on In a trembling voice. "I went to Ledllngton. The nurse aald you had my lettera bit of It the bit with my name with Caro lineso I went. But It wasn't you, Jim It wasn't you." "You went to Ledllngton?" "I found the woman. She dropped a bill, and the nurse gave It to me, so I found her. Her name was Rlddell Mrs. Rlddell. Sbe was the most hor rible woman. But It was her husband who was In the hospital at Elston It wasn't you." Jim did not speak. He looked through the moonlight to the dark trees. "It was her husband," Carolina said In a whisper. "It couldn't be you you're not her husband." He spoke then In a loud, harsh voice. "She says I am." (Copyright, 1IJJ, 1. B. ZAppmoott Co.) Carolina, tomorrow, loams tome startling things from Jim.
