THE MEETING
r TIM -what's the matter? 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.

over and drain away. 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."
